Objective To explore the effects and molecular mechanisms of arsenic trioxide(As 2O 3) in inducing apoptosis of colonic cancer cell line SW480. Methods The morphologic changes and apoptotic rate of SW480 cells induced by As 2O 3 were observed with fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. The bcl-2 and Fas expressions induced by As 2O 3 in SW480 cells were examined by immunohistochemical method. Results 24 hours after exposed to As 2O 3, SW480 cells exhibited typical morphologic changes of apoptosis, the apoptotic rate of which was 2.1%~10.6%. A typical subdiploid peak before G 1 phase was observed by flow cytometry, and As 2O 3 mainly acted in G 2/M phase. As 2O 3 decreased bcl-2 expression and increased Fas expression in SW480 cells. Conclusion As 2O 3 could induce apoptosis of SW480 cells. The molecular mechanism of As 2O 3-induced apoptosis of SW480 cells might be down-regulating the bcl-2 expression and up-regulating the Fas expression.

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer with ovarian metastasis. Methods The clinical data of 17 cases of gastric cancer with ovarian metastasis, confirmed by surgery and pathology, were analyzed retrospectively. Results The average age of the patients was 48.41 years, and the first appearance of symptoms and signs often were of metastatic ovarian cancer. The main ultrasonographic findings were either a complex type of mass with both solid and cystic characteristics or only solid, and most of them were accompanied by intraperitoneal fluid accumulation. Bilateral metastatic ovarian cancer was more common(13 cases). The preoperative accurate diagnosis of this disease was difficult, so that the misdiagnostic rate was 64.7% in this series. Operation was done in all the patients, but prognosis was poor. The median survival time was only 11.6 months. Conclusions The prognosis of gastric cancer with ovarian metastasis is poor. It is of importance to inspect the stomach in cases of bilateral ovarian cancer. Radical resection of the primary disease focus together with hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy should be performed. Postoperative comprehensive therapy is conducive to improve the prognosis of gastric cancer with ovarian metastasis.

Objective To investigate the relationship of carotid artery stenosis and early postoperative cerebrovascular accident in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.Methods One hundred patients with carotid artery stenosis were divided into two groups by random digits table method:off and on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting group.The incidence of early cerebral vascular accident after operation in two groups (48 h after operation) was compared and analyzed.Results The rate of early postoperative cerebral vascular accident in on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting group was 18.2% (8/44),1 patient occurred cerebral infarction,7 patients occurred transient ischemic attack,none occurred cerebral hemorrhage.The rate of early postoperative cerebral vascular accident in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting group was 5.4%(3/56).The rate of early postoperative cerebral vascular accident between two groups had significant difference (x2 =4.141,P =0.042).Conclusion The patients with carotid artery stenosis with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting can reduce early postoperative cerebral vascular accident.

Objective: To quantitatively study the incidental extra-cardiac ifndings (ECFs) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in order to better recognize those lesions in clinical practice.
Methods: A total of 1169 suspected CAD patients received CCTA in our hospital from 2011-06 to 2013-03 and 1030 patients were enrolled in this study. There were 589 in-patients, 441 out-patients and 549 patients≥60 years of age,481 patients < 60 years of age. 3 physicians evaluated the incidental ECFs in the full ifeld of view (FOV) in different window level and window width for lung, mediastinum, thorax and upper abdominal areas. Clinical relevance of ECFs were classiifed by corresponding scores. Score 1, the patients with severe lesion need immediate treatment, score 2, the lesion with clinical and prognostic signiifcance and score 3, the ifnding without clinical signiifcance.
Results: There were 197/1030 (19.1%) patients having 224 ECFs and 27 (2.6%) patients having 2 ECFs; 90/1030 (8.7%) patients having 106 signiifcant lesions including 3 (0.3%) of lung cancer and 8 (0.8%) of pulmonary embolism; 107 patients with 118 lesions without signiifcance. ECFs were found in 114/589 (19.4%) in-patients and in 83/441 (18.8%) out-patients, P>0.05; 76/481 (15.8%) of patients < 60 years of age and 121/549 (22.0%) of patients≥60 years,P<0.05.
Conclusion: Unexpected ECFs detection rate was 19.1% in patients undergoing CCTA without further radiation exposure by reconstruction with the full FOV setting, and 8.7% of ECFs had clinical signiifcance. Radiologists should routinely analyze the extra-cardiac organs in CCTA.

Objective: To assess the renal cortical perfusion parameters by the imaging of computed tomography (CT) in patients of essential hypertension (EH) with target organ damage.
Methods: A total of 90 subjects with the entire information including 59 EH patients were studied. The EH patients were divided into 2 groups: EH + target organ damage group,n=30 and EH without target organ damage group,n=29. In addition, there was a Control group,n=31 healthy volunteers. All subjects received 128-slice dual-source CT renal perfusion scanning, the quantitative perfusion of renal cortex blood lfow (BF), blood volume (BV), time to peak (TTP) and the mean transit time (MTT) were examined and compared among different groups.
Results: There were 90/97 (92.8%) participants eligible for perfusion analysis. Compared to Control group, EH without target organ damage group had the similar parameters of BF, BV, MTT and TTP,P>0.05. While EH + target organ damage group had decreased BF (214.6 ± 36.1) ml/(min?100 ml ) than Control group (262.1 ± 26.6) ml/(min?100 ml ),P<0.01, and BV, TTP, MTT were similar to Control group,P>0.05. Compared to EH without target organ damage group, the EH + target organ damage group presented decreased BF (214.6 ±3 6.1) ml/(min?100 ml ) vs (268.9 ± 33.1) ml/(min?100 ml ), P<0.01 and prolonged MTT, TTP,P< 0.05.
Conclusion: CT imaging may evaluate the renal cortical perfusion changes, and especially BF which can relfect the renal perfusion more sensitively than other parameters in EH + target organ damage patients.

Objective To comparisom five methods of detection of eosinophil cells,in order to analyze the precision of the five methods.Methods The eosinophil cells of 100 patients were tested by using microscope、BC T5difft and flow cytometry are(0.249 ±0.112) × 109/L,(0.253 ±0.105) × 109/L,(0.252 ±0.103) × 109/L,(0.256 ±0.104) × 109/L and(0.259 ±0.101) × 109/L.There are no statistical differences(F = 1.225,P>0.10)among the five methods.Conclusion The results of the five methods are all accurate;the automatic analyzer method and the flow cytometry method are simple and repeatable,but the equipment and reagents are more expensive;the microscope direct counting method is more complicated and less repeatable.

Objective To compare the effects of typical and atypical antipsychotics treatment on P50 sensory ga-ting in first-episode schizophrenics.Methods Using conditioning-testing stimulus paradigm and stimulus train paradigm to record the P50 auditory evoked potential in 36 normal controls and in 61 first-episode schizophrenics before and after treat-ment.Patients were categorized into two groups:the typical antipsychotic treatment group(typical group)and the atypical antipsychotic treatment group(atypical group).Results Before treatment,both of the typical and atypical groups had low-er levels of S2-P50 amplitude,P50 suppression in conditioning-testing stimulus paradigm and P50 amplitude as well as P50 suppression evoked by high frequency stimuli in stimulus train paradigm in comparison with controls(P<0.05).After treatment,the typical antipsychotic treatment significantly improved the levels of P50 suppression in the stimulus train para-digm but not the levels of S2-P50 amplitude,P50 suppression in the conditioning-testing stimulus paradigm(P<0.05)whereas the atypical antipsychotic treatment improve the levels of P50 amplitude,P50 suppression in both stimulus train paradigm and the conditioning-testing stimulus paradigm(P<0.05). Conclusions The typical antipsychotic treatment can ameliorate the P50 suppression in stimulus train paradigm,but not in the conditioning-testing stimulus paradigm,whereas atypical antipsychotic treatment can ameliorate P50 suppression in both paradigms.
