This paper gives a brief description of the principle and research status of PET reconstructions, and that of 3D PET as well.

Objective To investigate the effect of intracranial aneurysm isolation combined with extra-intracranial bypass in treatment of middle cerebral artery aneurysm.Methods From January 2013 to March 2015,there were 32 patients with complex middle cerebral artery aneurysm in our hospital,who were treated by intracranial aneurysm isolation combined with extra-intracranial bypass.The clinical symptoms and image examination after surgery were retrospectively analyzed,and the hemodynamic index of middle cerebral artery before and after treat-ment was statistically analyzed.Results The postoperative clinical symptoms of 25 patients were relieved,the mRS score was 0 point.Seven patients received surgery,1 week later,the muscle force of involved side was grade 2 to 3,the mRS score was 2 to 3 point,the blood flowing smoothly in target vessel,with no original aneurysm,no new ischemic stroke or infarct.After intervention,systolic and diastolic blood flow ve-locity were faster than those before the intervention(P <0.05),blood flow resistance were lower than those before intervention(P <0.05). Conclusion The intracranial aneurysm isolation combined with extra-intracranial bypass can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of pa-tients with complex intracranial aneurysms,with high graft patency rate and reliable effect.

Objective To investigate the effects on the improvement of the function of islet β cell by three intensive insulin treatments on newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes(T2D) in different insulin resistant status.Methods Ninety-eight patients of newly diagnosed T2D were divided into two groups:group with overt insulin resistant status ( IR group) ( HOMA-IR ≥ 5 ); group without overt insulin resistant status ( Non-IR group) ( HOMA-IR ＜ 5).According to the condition of patient,there were six subgroups:IR-CSⅡ group ( n = 20 ); IR-glar group ( n = 22 );IR-aspart 30 group (n=23); Non-IR-CSⅡ group (n= 10); Non-IR-glar group (n=12); Non-IR-aspart 30 group (n = 11 ).Subgroups were treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin injection (CSⅡ group),insulin aspart plus insulin glargine ( glar group),and insulin aspart 30 injection ( aspart 30 group) for two weeks,respectively.The levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ,fasting C-peptide(C-P) ,2 h plasma glucose (2 hPG) were measured and homeostasis model assessments of beta cell (HOMA-β) and homeostasis model assessments of insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR) were calculated using fasting C-P.Results The time of blood glucose recover,insulin dosage and the incidence of hypoglycemia of CSⅡ group were lower than those of the glar group and aspart 30 group( P ＜ 0.05 and P ＜0.01 ,respectively).However,there were no significant difference between the glar-group and aspart 30 group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The insulin dosage of Non-IR-subgroups was significantly lower than the IR-subgroups ( P ＜ 0.01 ).The △HOMA-IR(C-P) of Non-IR-subgroups was lower than the IR-subgroups ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The △HOMA-islet(C-P) of the Non-IR-subgroups was higher than the IR-subgroups ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The △HOMA-IR(C-P) ( 1.79 ± 0.15 and 1.51 ±0.09 in IR and non-IR group,respectively) and △HOMA-islet(C-P) (4.01 ±0.21 and 4.35 ±0.23 in IR and Non-IR group,respectively) of the CSⅡ group were higher than those of the glar group (1.63 ± 0.21 and 1.40 ±0.19 of △HOMA-IR (C-P) and 3.86 ± 0.12 and 4.03 ± 0.18 of △HOMA-islet(C-P) in IR and Non-IR group,respectively) and aspart 30 group ( 1.61 ± 0.13 and 1.42 ± 0.1 1 ) △HOMA-islet (C-P) and 3.88 ± 0.32 and 4.01 ±0.14of△HOMA-islet(C-P)inIRandNon-IRgroup,respeetively)(P＜0.05).Conclusions Thethree intensive insulin treatments for newly diagnosed T2D accompanied with high blood glucose may improve the function of β cell and alleviate insulin resistance,especially the CSⅡ.However,the efficacy on T2D with overt insulin resistant status is limited.

A bismuth-antimony fire assay method for the preconcentration of ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium and platinum in copper-nickel sulfide ores was developed. 40. 0 g bismuth trioxide, 25. 0 g boric acid, 10. 0 g sodium carbonate and 1. 00 g starch were mixed with 10. 0 g sample in a 120 mL porcelain bowl, which was put in a furnace at 850 ℃. After 20 min the temperature was raised to 1000 ℃ and held for another 40 min, and then the bowl was taken out, with the slag poured, which left the bismuth button to air cooling. A two-step cupellation procedure was developed. During the first step, the bismuth button was cupellated in a magnesia cupel until its diameter reached 5 mm or so, then it was transferred to a crucible cover containing 20 g melting antimony and kept cupellating, at last a bead with a diameter of 1 mm was obtained. The bead was microwave-digested, after cooling down to room temperature, the solvent of which was transferred to a volumetric flask and diluted to 10 ml with water. Pt and Pd were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry ( ICP-AES), while 99 Ru, 103 Rh, 191 Ir were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), with 115 In, 185 Re as internal standard. RSD (n = 12) of the analysis results of five platinum group elements ( PGEs) in standard reference material GBW07196 ranged from 7. 04% to 9. 48% . Under the condition of 10 g sample, the detection limits (ng / g) for PGEs are 0. 027 for Ru, 0. 016 for Rh, 0. 11 for Pd, 0. 10 for Ir and 0. 11 for Pt. The method was applied to the determination of PGEs in GBW07194, GBW07195, GBW07196 with satisfactory results.

BACKGROUND:Host immune rejection is the main problem for nerve alograft in the repair of nerve defects. Therefore, how to avoid and minimize the immune rejection is the key to the success of nerve alografting. OBJECTIVE: To develop a new nerve pretreatment method by which Schwann cels and myelin can be removed from the peripheral nerve of dogs while the basilar membrane can be reserved integraly in order to obtain acelular nerve alografts. METHODS:Bilateral sciatic nerves from healthy adult dogs were taken and pretreated with the combined freeze-thaw and chemical methods folowed by microscopic observation of ultrastructural features, histological staining and western blot analysis of its ingredients. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Pretreated acelular nerves with good ductility and excelent epineurium toughness were empty basal lamina tubes with no Schwann cels, myelin and fragments that were al removed thoroughly, but the basilar membrane was fuly retained. These findings indicate that the optimized combination of freeze-thaw and chemical methods can efficiently clear Schwann cels and myelin which are the major antigenic components in the peripheral nerve, while preserve the basilar membrane to promote nerve regeneration. Therefore, this method can be an ideal method for preparation of tissue engineered nerves.

Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2(HIPK2)is a member of a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family which localized in the mucleus.It is not only involved in advanced stage embryogenesis,development of nerve tissue,retina and muscular tissue,but also takes part in regulation of tumor signaling transduction,down-modulated expression of oncogene,induced apoptosis of tumor cells,and inhibited angiogeuesis of tumor.The regulation of HIPK2 in tumor signaling transduction pathway is associated with P53 signaling,Wnt/β-catenin pathway and hypoxia.

HIF-1α, a transcriptional activator regulating cells and tissues' response to hypoxia, can induce expression of a variety of factors and facilitate adaptation to hypoxia. Tumor hypoxic microenvironment and expression of HIF-1α is closely related to the occurrence of colorectal cancer, development, invasion, metastasis and prognosis, which becomes a hot spot in colorectal cancer research. To further clarify the process of colorectal cancer and to explore new treatment methods in colorectal cancer, HIF-1α in colorectal cancer studies was briefly reviewed.

Objective To investigate the condition which can induce mouse ES cells to differentiate into epidermal-like stem cells for the clinical application of ES cells-derived epidermal-like stem cells and the research on the mechanism of committed differentiation of ES cells. Methods Coculture mouse ES cells with human amnion for 3-4 days, and the committed differentiation were detected by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. In experimental group 1, amnion was pasted covering the whole bottom of the wells, with the epithelial surface upward, and in group 2 covering the half bottom. No amnion was used in control. Results After 3-4 days of co-culture, epidermal-like stem cell clones were formed on the epithelial surface of amnion in group 1 and group 2, and expressed high levels of integrin-? 1, CK19 and CK15. The percentages of integrin-? 1, CK19 and CK15 positive cells counted in group 1 by flow cytometry were 89.2%, 86.8% and 71.2% respectively, versus the control group of 8.4%,9.6% and 11.8%, the differences were significant in all the three indices (Z tests P

Purpose:To study the efficacies and adverse effects of three different regimens in treatment of patients with gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma, which consisted of two doses of CF(20 mg/m 2, 200 mg/m 2) and two methods of administration of 5-Fu (continuous intravenous infusion and two hours per day intravenously) and DDP 20 mg/m 2. Methods:We selected 36 cases with GI adenocarcinoma and randomizedly divided them into A and B groups, who were hospitalized from January 1999 to November 2000. At the same time, 29 cases hospitalized from April 1997 to December 1998 with the same disease were designated as C group (control) . A group: CF 200 mg/(m 2.d) for 5 days, 2 hours intravenously ; 5-Fu 3 g/m 2 , continuous intravenous infusion during 5 days; DDP 20 mg/(m 2.d) for 5 days, 2 hours IV. B group: CF 20mg/(m 2.d) for 5 days, 2 hours, IV.; the dosage and usage of 5-Fu and DDP as A group. C group: CF 200 mg/m 2, usage as A, B groups; 5-Fu 600 mg/(m 2.d) for 5 days, 2 hours; dosage and usage of DDP as A, B groups. One cycle of these regimens consisted of three weeks and they were evaluated after three cycles. Results:There were 8 cases of gastral cancer and 12 of rectal cancer in A group whose response rates were 50% and 41.7% respectively. B group had 7 cases of gastric cancer and 9 cases of rectal cancer, their response rates were 42.9% and 44.4%. C group consisted of 14 cases of gastric cancer and 15 cases of rectal cancer, whose response rates were 35.7%and 40%, respectively. Adverse effects included hematological, renal and bladder and gastrointestinal toxicity. A group was similar to B group. C group had more renal and bladder toxicities(27.5%) and incidence of phlebitis was 34.5%. Conclusions:Combination regimen of low dose of CF, continuous intravenous infusion of 5-Fu and DDP is of better efficacy, tolerance and relative economy, especially suitable for to the elderly patients.
