Objective To evaluate multi- slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) in diagnosing bronchial-pulmonary shunts (BPS). Methods The materials of MSCTA images in 31 patients with DSA-confirmed BPS were retrospectively analyzed. Taking DSA imaging as the reference standard, the consistency in diagnosing BPS at different levels between MSCTA and DSA was compared. Results On MSCTA using aorta-density trigger scanning technique BPS was manifested as wrong-time enhancement of pulmonary artery branches. Wilcoxon test indicated that MSCTA had a high concordance with DSA in detecting BPS occurring at sub-segmental (or above) pulmonary artery branches (Z = -1.854, P > 0.05), but MSCTA detection of BPS occurring at peripheral pulmonary arteries was obviously poorer than DSA (Z = -3.923, P < 0.05). MSCTA confirmed the diagnosis of BPS in 11 cases with a sensitive rate of 35.5% (11/31), and no differences in revealing the number and the shunt levels of BPS existed between DSA and MSCTA. The number of abnormal systemic arteries demonstrated by MSCTA was quite the same as the number detected by DSA. No false positive case was seen. Conclusion MSCTA is very effective in diagnosing high-flow BPS locating at sub-segmental (or above) pulmonary artery branches as well as in revealing abnormal bronchus-related systemic arteries, which is very helpful in preoperatively evaluating the severity of the BP shunting and the supplying arteries to be obstructed.

Objective To study the correlation of replication efficiency and antigen expression of hepatitis B virus (HBV) strains in patient sera and transfected cells. Methods Quantification of five maternal serum HBV DNA was carried out using dot hybridization and polymerase chain reaction-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (PCR-ELISA), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) levels in the sera were determined by ELISA. Full-length genomes of HBV strains cloned from five pregnant women were separately used to transfect HepG2 cells. The levels of HBsAg and HBeAg in the supernatant of transfected cells were determined with Abbott EIA kits, the replication efficiency of intracelluar replicative intermediates and extracellular HBV DNA of viral particles was analyzed by Southern blot and hybridization. Results Intracellular and extracellular HBV replication and antigen expression of cloned HBV strains showed positive correlation tendency with the HBV DNA and antigen levels in serum samples. Conclusions Virus replication efficiency and expression of HBsAg and HBeAg by full-length HBV clones are in relative coincidence with the biological characteristics of HBV strains in patients. Cell transfection can be used to study the biological characteristics of individual isolates.

The difference in serum calcium levels between patients with typical hyperthyroidism and apathetic hyperthyroidism was analyzed. Serum calcium levels in patients with apathetic hyperthyroidism were higher than those in patients with typical hyperthyroidism, while bone-specific alkaline phosphatase levels were lower. The atypical manifestation of apathetic hyperthyroidism may be due to the significant elevation of serum calcium level.

Objective To observe the effect of edaravone pretreatment on the lung injury during one lung ventilation of patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods Forty male patients diagnosed of lung cancer (aged 47-65 years,height 165-183 cm,weight 64-85 kg,BMI<30 kg/m2 ,ASA gradeⅠorⅡ)who were scheduled for thoracoscopic pulmonary resection surgery were randomly divided into two groups(n =20 each):control group (group C)and edaravone group (group E).In group E edaravone 30mg(dissolution in normal saline 100 ml)was administered within 30 min before surgery.In group C nor-mal saline 100 ml was administered within the same time.PET CO2 and peak airway pressure (Pmax)were recorded during operation,venous blood samples were taken before skin incision and at the end of operation for detection of the concentration of IL-8,IL-10,TNF-α and SP-A.Results There were no significant difference in PET CO2 and Pmax between the two groups..Compared with T1 ,concentration of IL-8,IL-10, TNF-αand SP-A all increased significantly in both groups on T6 (P <0.05).Compared with group C,IL-8, TNF-αand SP-A levels of T6 in group E were lower significantly (P < 0.05 ).There was no significant differences in the levels of IL-10 between the two groups.Conclusion Edaravone can inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction during one lung ventilation in patients underwent thoracoscopic surgery.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the situation of the minimum sales package unit,and to provide reference for standardiz-ing package. METHODS:According to related regulations of New Edited Materia Medica(17th edition)and package inserts,373 kinds of oral drugs,57 kinds of oral drugs for lowering blood glucose,blood lipid and blood pressure,6 kinds of second kind psy-chotropic oral drugs were analyzed statistically in respect of minimum sales package unit and medication duration. RESULTS:There were 30 kinds of minimum sale package unit for 373 oral drugs,among which common capacity were 20,10,100 grain/tab-let/pill,accounting for 14.21%,14.21%,12.33% respectively,and 57.11% were used within 7 d. There were 13 kinds of mini-mum sale package unit for 57 oral drugs for lowering blood glucose,blood lipid and blood pressure,among which the common ca-pacity were 7,30,14,10 grain/tablet/pill,accounting for 33.34%,14.04%,14.04%,14.04% respectively,and 85.97% were used within 14 d,indicating sales package unit often based on weekly dosage. Among 6 kinds of type Ⅱ psychotropic oral drugs, minimum sales package unit capacity of 3 kinds were all 20 grain/tablet/pill,and those of other 3 kinds were 10,7,6 grain/tablet/pill;one of them were used more than 7 d. CONCLUSIONS:Minimum sales package unit is confirmed discretionarily. It is sug-gested that minimum sale package unit of oral drugs for lowering blood glucose,blood lipid and blood pressure should be packaged according to the dosage of 2 weeks to one nonth;the capacity of type Ⅱ psychotropic oral drugs is lower than the dosage of 7 days,and daily dose package is the best.

Objective The study aimed to investigate 15 autosomal loci polymorphism(such as D3S1358 and TPOX)in Nujiang Bai nationality,in order to construct genetic basic data of Bai population and provide a foundation for population study and forensic cases. Methods Venous blood was collected from 124 unrelated Bai individuals in Nujiang,Yunnan province. DNA was extracted by classical organic solvent extraction. PCR technique was applied to amplify the sequence of autosomal loci. The products were measured by electrical fluoroscopy. The gene frequencies of 15 STR loci were investigated and genetic polymorphisms were analyzed. ResultsGene polymorphisms of 15 STR loci were detected and the distributions of genotype conformed with Hardy-Weinberg balance law(P > 0.05). The cumulative match probability(CPM)was 4.869×10-17,the cumulative excluding probability(CPE)was 99.999 99%,and the combined power of discrimination(CDP)was 99.999 97%. ConclusionThe 15 STR loci used in this study were highly polymorphic informative content in Bai population and could be applied to population study and forensic practice.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of the collaboration application of hospital information system (HIS) andsmart chaininventory automation management system(SPD)in drug distribution enterprises on drug logistics management,and achieve the centralized distribution of drugs. METHODS:Related countermeasures in achieving the informatization and scientiza-tion of drug inventory management after the collaboration application of HIS and SPD were introduced,and effectiveness analysis was conducted for the inventory management by comparing related indicators before and after collaboration application. RESULTS:Through the establishment ofunified receiving platformsystem and barcode technology that combined with HIS and SPD,drug barcode acceptance was achieved;setting drug fixed package and scanning fixed cards in outer packing in theunified receiving platformsystem can achieve automatic out-and into-storehouse and generating purchase plan;the collaboration application of HIS and SPD achieved drug concentration distribution. Compared with before,monthly inventory amount was decreased 27.07%(P<0.05)in the condition that both drug purchases and sales amount were increased,into-warehouse time of pharmacy acceptance was decreased from 6-12 s in each drug to 10-15 s in each order,pharmacy staff dropped from 2.5 to 2 persons. CONCLUSIONS:The collaboration application of HIS and SPD in drug logistics management has improved efficiency of warehouse,reduced drug inven-tory and achieved the informatization and scientization of drug inventory management.
