Objective To investigate the changes of molecule markers of pre-thrombotic state,expression of CD62P,concentration of plasma fibrinogen(Fib),prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),thrombin time(TT) in the patients with essential hypertension for providing theoretical evidence for diagnosis and therapy of thrombus complication in early clinical stage.Methods Fifty-three patients with hypertension(grade Ⅰ 17 cases,grade Ⅱ 16 cases,grade Ⅲ 20 cases)were selected and twenty-eight people with medical examination in good health were used as control group.The expressions of CD62P and CD61 were measured by flow cytometry.The concentration of Fib and the levels of PT,APTT,TT were measured by Class coagulation method.Results The expression of CD62P and the concentration of plasma Fib in essential hypertension group were higher than those in control groups(P0.05).Conclusion The essential hypertensive patients are in pre-thrombotic state,the activation of platelet and blood clotting activity increase.Molecular markers should be measured in essential hypertensive patients for prevention and treatment of thrombotic disease.

OBJECTIVE To explore the infection situation of surgical operation and enhance postoperative(observation) and rational use of antibiotics.METHODS Totally 11 208 cases after surgical operation were(investigated)(retrospectively).The diagnosis standard was based on the Diagnosis Standard of Hospital(Infection)(Draft) published by Ministry of Health,the People′s Republic of China in Jan 2001. RESULTS There were(11 208) cases after surgical operation from Jan 1,2000 to Dec 31,2004 in our hospital and 275 cases suffered(incision)(infection,) there(infection) rate was 2.45%.The pathogenic bacteria of incision infection were confirmed as G~-(bacilli)(72 strains,78.26%),and G~+ cocci(20 strains,21.74%).CONCLUSIONS The key points of prevention of incision infection are sterile operation,protection of operation field when incising cavity organ,inside(sterilization),flushing of abdominal cavity and incision,change of contaminated apparatus,gloves and dressing promptly,(selection) of suture line and suture technique,besides the serious operation preparedness and skin(sterilization).

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 investigate the depiction rate of normal cisterna chyli and thoracic duct by nonenhanced MR lymphography and to describe their appearances on MR imaging.Methods Special MR hydrography sequence was added to the MR imaging protocols of 112 patients undergoing MR examination of the thorax and upper abdomen.MR imaging sequences included:①Respiratory-gated HASTE T2W sequence;②Breath-hold FLASH T1W sequence;③Respiratory-gated TSE 3D T2W sequence(3D MR hydrography sequence)in coronal plane.One hundred cases who met the inclusion criteria were included into the study for observation of the depiction rate,location and morphology of cisterna chyli and thoracic duct.Results On TSE 3D T2W imaging:①Cisterna chyli was visualized in 71/100(depiction rate 71.0%),morphologically including single-tube type 43.7%(31/71),bifurcation type(2-3 tubes)23.9%(17/71),plexus type 32.4%(23/71).Average length of the cisterna chyli was 4.5 cm.②The depiction rate of the lower segment of thoracic duct was 57.0%(57/100),average ductal diameter was 0.23 cm.③The depiction rate of upper segment of the thoracic duct was 31.0%(31/100).Conclusion As a noninvasive method for depicting the lymphatic system,nonenhaced MR lymphography(TSE 3D T2W sequence)demonstrated a high depiction rate for cisterna chyli and lower thoracic duct.Combined with axial images of HASTE and FLASH sequences,the location and morphology of these larger lymphatic ducts can be defined.

Objective To observe the role of cannabinoid receptor-2 (CB2) in acute experimental colitis in mice, and to explore its effect on the endoplasmic reticulum stress ( ERS ) in the intestinal mucosa . Methods 32 SPF mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,CB2 agonist group and CB2 antagonist group. Disease activity index( DAI) and colon histopathological score( HS) were evaluatd. The levels of TNF-α and IL-10 in colon tissue were detected by ELISA. The expression of CB2 and ERS markers GRP78, CHOP in colon tissues were de-tected by immunohistochemical. The mRNA levels of GRP78 and CHOP were detected by RT-PCR. Results Com-pared with the normal group,the level of TNF-αwas significantly higher and the level of IL-10 was significantly low-er(P<0. 05) in the model group,the expressions of GRP78, CHOP and its mRNA were significantly higher(P<0. 05). Compared with the model group,the expression of CB2 in the CB2 agonist group was significantly higher(P<0. 05),the level of TNF-α dropped and the level of IL-10 increased(P<0. 05),and the expressions of GRP78, CHOP and its mRNA were significantly reduced(P<0. 05). The level of IL-10,TNF-α and ERS markers had no significant difference bewteen CB2 antagonist group and the model group ( P>0. 05 ) . Conclusion Severe endo-plasmic reticulum stress exists in intestinal mucosa of experimental colitis mice. The CB2 agonist activates CB2 ex-pression,reducing colitis in mice. Its mechanism may be related to inhibiting ERS in intestinal mucosa.

Objective To investigate the unusual CT features of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (SH). Methods Clinical and CT features of 25 patients of pulmonary SH proved with pathology were reviewed, among which 15 patients underwent plain and enhanced CT scan, 10 underwent only plain CT scan. Results Solitary nodules (20/25, 80.00%) and solitary mass (5/25, 20.00%) were found with CT. CT features included slight lobulation (6/25, 24.00%), calcification (6/25, 24.00%), ground glass opacity (2/25, 8.00%), emphysema (1/25, 4.00%), endobrochial variant (1/25, 4.00%), short speculation (1/25, 4.00%) and vascular bundle (2/25, 8.00%). Slight or remarkable enhancement was noticed in all 15 patients underwent contrast enhanced CT. Conclusion CT can reveal features and unusual manifestations of pulmonary SH, and is helpful to the diagnosis of pulmonary SH.
