Objective To evaluate the capability of virtual non-contrast (VNC)of the second-generation dual-source CT (DSCT), and to display the adipose tissue of gastric serosa.Methods 48 patients with gastric cancer undergoing preoperative DSCT and sur-gery were enrolled.The true non-contrast (TNC)values and VNC values of perigastric adipose tissue were measured and compared with conventional non-contrast scanning and VNC of arterial phase and venous phase.The VNC values of perigastric adipose tissue were compared between serosal involvement group and non-serosal involvement group.Results There was statistical difference be-tween TNC values and VNC values of perigastric adipose tissue (P <0.05),the absolute differences were under 13 HU.The differ-ence of VNC values between serosal involvement group and non-serosal involvement group was significant (P <0.05).Conclusion VNC of the second-generation DSCT can clearly display the adipose tissue of gastric serosa.It has certain capability in judging sero-sal involvement.VNC has the proficiency to replace conventional non-contrast scanning.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Weiyoukang intragastric floating tablet,and to investigate in vitro releasing characteristics of it. METHODS:Weiyoukang intragastric floating tablet was prepared by full powder compression method using HPMC-K15M (framework material),octadecanol(low density bleaching promoter),sodium bicarbonate(foaming agent),PVP-K30(release reg-ulator)and magnesium stearate(lubricant)as excipients. The amounts of HPMC-K15M,octadecanol and PVP-K30 were optimized by orthogonal test and validated with 2 h,4 h and 8 h accumulative release rate of berberine (Y2 h,Y4 h,Y8 h) as index,start time (T1)and duration(T2)of floating as adjunctive index. The releasing regularity of berberine,tetrahydropalmatine,baicalin and glyc-yrrhizic acid in Coptis chinensis,Corydalis vanhus,Scatellaria baicalensis and Glycyrrhiza uralensis were measured by release model fitting method and Peppas equarion fitting method. Similar factor(f2)method was used to investigate the similarity of 4 com-ponents. RESULTS:The optimized formulation was as follows as HPMC-K15M 40 g,octadecanol 14 g,PVP-K30 2 g for 200 tab-lets. Y2 h,Y4 h and Y8 h of berberine of preparations were 31.94%,55.88%,93.34%(RSDs were 1.2%,1.5% and 1.5%,n=3),re-spectively. T1 and T2 were about 1 min and 13 h. The drug release of four ingredients all fitted Higuchi models,and were synergis-tic action of diffusion and matrix erode. The f2 were all more than 80,indicating that the release of four ingredients were similar. CONCLUSIONS:Weiyoukang intragastric floating tablet is prepared successfully,showing fast onset,long floating,sustained-re-lease and balanced release of multiple indigents.

Objective To revise the Chinese version of the National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (CHN-NIH-CPSD), and evaluate its feasibility, reliability, validity and responsiveness. Methods The NIH-CPSI was translated into Chinese according to a standard methodology including forward-backward-forward technique. The CHN-NIH-CPSI was pre-tested in consecutive samples of 162 native-speaking Chinese chronic prostatitis(CP)patients. Ninety-five of 162 filled the index again on the same day and after 4-week therapy. Ninety-seven healthy men were included as evaluated. Results The recovery of the questionnaires was 100% and all the patients filled the index completely. The mean time to complete the questionnaire for the patient group was 5.2±2.4 (range 2 - 12) min. The split-half reliability was 0.82. For the overall index and each subscale, the test-retest reliability was 0.98, 0. 98, 0. 98, 0. 97, respectively(P＜0.01);and the Cronbach's α coefficient was 0. 61,0. 71, 0. 59, 0. 75, respectively. The confirmatory factor analysis showed good construct validity with a goodness of fit index of 0. 85 and a x2 of 124.67(P＜0. 01). Of all 162 patients, the scores of the overall index and each subscale were 23. 33±5.91. 8. 80±4.26, 5.30±2.82, 9. 23±1.90, respectively;and those of healthy controls were 1. 95±1.97, 0. 37±1.03, 0. 15±0.58, 1.42± 1.20,respectively. Of the 95 patients, the original scores were 23. 53±5.60, 9.21 ±4.04, 5.10±2.75,9.21 ±2.05, comparing with 19.47±6.36, 7.79±3.95, 3. 58±1.88, 8.11±2.50, the 4 weeks later scores. The group t-test and paired t-test showed good responsiveness. Conclusions The CHN-NIH-CPSI has high feasibility, reliability, validity and responsiveness for testing the patients with CP. It is suitable for Chinese-speaking patients and helpful for cross-cultural comparisons of men with CP in clinical and research settings.
