Objective To investigate the value of conventional ultrasound combined with contrast‐enhanced ultrasound in qualitative diagnosis of benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes (LNs) .Methods Totally 129 enlarged LNs in 112 cases were performed the 2‐dimensional ,color Doppler ultrasound ,and grey‐scale contrast‐enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)examinations .LNs were divided into the benign group and malignant group according to pathologic results .The aspect ratio ,eccentric medulla or medulla de‐fect ,echo type ,blood supply distribution ,contrast‐enhancement pattern and distribution equilibriuym of contrast agent were com‐pared between the two groups .Results The most of aspect ratio in the benign LNs group were ≥ 2 ,the cortex and medulla were uniform with symmetric increase and without microcalcification ,the blood supple was mainly the non‐blood flow type or hilar type , in contrast‐enhanced ultrasound ,the majority were the early hilar and medullar enhancement ,showing the centrifugally full filling ;the most of aspect ratio in the malignant LNs group were <2 ,medulla was eccentric or loss ,partial of LNs showed the increased parenchymal echo accompanied with cystic lesion and microcalcification ,the blood supply was mainly the peripheral and mixed types ,and the non‐hilar and medulla started enhancement pattern .The ultrasonographic parameters mentioned above were statisti‐cally different between the two groups ,in which the non‐hilar and medulla started enhancement patterns had the highest sensitivity and accuracy for diagnosing malignant LNs ,the positive predictive values of these parameters were higher ,whereas the negative predictive values were lower .Conclusion The conventional ultrasound combined with contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography has a higher practical value in qualitative diagnosis of cervical LNs ;the comprehensive judgment of multiple indicators can increase the differentiating ability for benign from malignant LNs .

Objective To evaluate the renal cortical blood perfusion changes in rabbits with acute renal failure (ARF) with gray scale contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and to explore the relationship between these changes and the blood creatinine (SCr), as well as the blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Methods Rabbit ARF models were established with 50% glycerin injected into the rabbits' thighs. Gray scale contrast-enhanced ultrasound was performed on the day before injection (T_0) and 1, 4, 8, 12 days (T_1, T_4, T_8, T_(12)) after injection. The renal cortex perfusion time-intensity curve (TIC) was analyzed, including parameters like arrival time (AT), time to peak intensity (TTP), amplitude of peak intensity (A) and slope rate of TIC (β) of renal cortex. Meanwhile the SCr and BUN were measured, the correlation between SCr, BUN and parameters were analyzed. Results Compared with the value of T_0, the value of TTP, A, β after injection (T_1, T_4, T_8) were statistically different, respectively (P<0.05), but the differences among T_1, T_4 and T_8 were various. No linear correlation between above parameters and SCr, BUN was found. Conclusion The renal cortical blood perfusion changes can be early observed with gray scale contrast-enhanced ultrasound, but there is no linear correlation between the changes of parameters and SCr, BUN.

Objective To explore the relativity between the changes of 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H-MRS) in hippocampus and prefrontal lobe and syndrome differentiation of major depression.Methods Sixty patients with major depression(MD) were divided into Group A(phlegm-heat syndrome),Group B(blood stasis syndrome),Group C(deficient fire syndrome) and Group D(cold-dampness syndrome),and other 20 normal controls were selected.The neurochemical abnormalities including the ratios of N-acetylaspartate(NAA)/choline(Cho),NAA/creatine(Cr) and Cho/Cr were measured with three-dimension 1H proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy(3D1H-MRS).Results The ratios of Cho/Cr in white matter of the prefrontal lobe were significant higher in MD patients than that in normal controls(P<0.05);the ratios of NAA/Cr in hippocampus were significant higher in MD patients than that in normal controls(P<0.05).Conclusion There might be the relativity between the neurochemical abnormalities in hippocampus and prefrontal lobe and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation of major depression.

To establish single- and double-transfected transgenic cells stably expressing hMATE1, hMATE1 cDNA was cloned by RT-PCR from human cryopreserved kidney tissue, and subcloned into pcDNA3.1(+) plasmid by virtue of both HindIII and Kpn I restriction enzyme sites. Subsequently, the recombined pcDNA3.1(+)- hMATE1 plasmid was transfected into MDCK, MDCK-hOCT1 or MDCK-hOCT2 cells using Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent. After a 14-day-cultivation with hygromycin B at the concentration of 400 µg · mL(-1), all clones were screened with DAPI and MPP+ as substrates to identify the best candidate. The mRNA content of hMATE1, the cellular accumulation of metformin with or without cimetidine as inhibitor, or transportation of cimetidine was further valuated. The results showed that all of the three cell models over expressed hMATE1 mRNA. The cellular accumulation of metformin in MDCK-hMATE1 was 17.6 folds of the control cell, which was significantly inhibited by 100 µmol · L(-1) cimetidine. The transcellular transport parameter net efflux ratios of cimetidine across MDCK-hOCT1/hMATE1 and MDCK-hOCT2/hMATE1 monolayer were 17.5 and 3.65, respectively. In conclusion, cell models with good hMATE1 function have been established successfully, which can be applied to study the drug transport or drug-drug interaction involving hMATE1 alone or together with hOCT1/2 in vitro.
