China Medical Equipment 2014;(5):63-65
Objective:To investigate the cardiac magnetic resonance technique in the diagnosis and treatment of unstable angina application value. Methods:The hospital diagnosed patients with unstable angina as research subjects, were given coronary angiography in patients (CAG) examination, ECG, echocardiography and cardiac MRI examination, recording the results and statistical analysis. Results:Cardiac MRI for>90%stenos is detected heart rate, and coronary angiography (CAG) showed no significant difference (x2=3.257, P>0.05), for<90%stenos is detection rate, and coronary angiography (CAG) was statistically significant between test results (x2=17.267, x2=25.714;P<0.05);cardiac magnetic resonance for the degree of stenos is of myocardial ischemia in patients with high detection rate and electrocardiogram detection rates were significantly different(x2=4.65, P<0.05), but the total no significant difference between the detection rate(x2=0.251, P>0.05);cardiac MRI for cardiac function and cardiac structure determination is better than conventional echocardiography. Conclusion: Cardiac MRI technology to more accurately reflect changes in cardiac structure and function of the stenos is and effort ischemia detection rate with conventional inspection methods have better consistency.

Lycopene—a kind of important active compound of caroteinoids, is greatly beneficial to human health with its diverse biological functions. With the elucidation of lycopene biosynthetic pathway and cloning genes of relative enzymes from microorganisms, it is possible to regulate lycopene biosynthesis via genetic engineering. The biosynthesis pathways of lycopene and gene cloning of lycopene biosynthetic enzymes in microorganisms were reviewed, and gene engineering strains documented in previous works including: E.coli and yeast constructed by genetic recombination, mold strains enhanced the ability of producing lycopene by gene manipulation were summarized. At last, compared with the present methods, the problems existed in the process of construction were pointed out.

Deafness is a seriously disabling disease affecting the quality of human life and genetic fac-tors account for a large proportion in the pathogenesis of newborn deafness.With the development of genomics technology,molecular genetics of hearing loss has become a cutting-edge field under investigation in otology. Molecular diagnostic technique plays an important role in exploring the pathogenesis,assisting clinical diagnosis and the prenatal diagnosis.In this review,we introduce the common pathogenic gene mutations and the diagnosis of non-syndromic inherited hearing impairment.

Glucose-6-phosphatedehydrogenase( G6PD) is the main regulatory enzyme of pentose-phos-phate pathway,which plays an important role in maintaining the balance of cell energy and redox reactions in the cell. G6PD deficiency is the most common hereditary erythrocyte enzyme deficiency disease. There are no effective treatments for the disease. Currently,the key of control and treatment is to make a definitive diagnosis in time and keep away from related risk factors of the disease. At present,the main clinical diagnostic method is the detection of G6PD enzyme activity,but it is limited in accuracy of detecting the heterozygote females. It has already been confirmed at home and abroad that G6PD heterozygote is a risk factor of neonatal hyperbilirubi-nemia. Thus,the detection method of different genotypes of G6PD deficiency at the same time is urgently needed in clinical diagnosis. This paper reviews on recent research progress of the G6PD deficiency disease.

Objective:To compare the effect of fluorescence staining and periodic acid-Schiff staining in the diagnosis of fungal keratitis (FK).Methods:A total of 147 corneal specimens from 147 FK patients treated in Eye Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2017 to May 2019 with positive corneal scraping or fungal culture were collected.Among them, there were 84 cases with penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), 42 cases with lamellar keratoplasty (LKP) and 21 cases with lesion resection.Another 11 cases with herpes simplex virus keratitis served as negative control.The corneal tissue specimens were performed with fungal fluorescence staining and periodic acid-Schiff staining, respectively.The stained sections were placed under fluorescence microscope and optical microscope to observe fungal hyphae or spores, respectively.The positive rates of the two staining methods were compared, and the positive cases of the diagnosis of FK in corneal tissue samples obtained by different surgical methods and corneal infection caused by different strains of the two staining methods were compared.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient.The study protocol adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shandong Eye Hospital (No.SDSYKYY-2016012).Results:The positive rate of periodic acid-Schiff staining and fungal fluorescence staining was 60.5% (89/147) and 79.6% (117/147), respectively.The positive rate of fluorescence staining in the diagnosis of fungal keratitis was significantly higher than that of periodic acid-Schiff staining ( χ2=28.00, P<0.01), and both the specificity of the two staining methods was 100%.The positive rate of specimens obtained by PKP with fluorescent staining was 85.7% (72/84), and the positive rate with periodic acid-Schiff staining was 65.5% (55/84), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=17.00, P<0.01). The positive rate of specimens obtained by LKP with fluorescent staining was 71.4% (30/42), and the positive rate with periodic acid-Schiff staining was 52.4% (22/42), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=8.00, P<0.01). The positive rate of resected foci specimens with fluorescent staining was 71.4% (15/21), and the positive rate with periodic acid-Schiff staining was 57.1% (12/21), and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2=1.30, P=0.25). The positive cases of two kinds of staining were different among different fungal strains.Among them, the positive cases of Fusarium solani complex, Pythium insidiosum, Aspergillus fumigatus complex, Candida guilliermondii, Trichoderma and Nigrograna mackinnonii with fluorescence staining were 19, 5, 5, 1, 1 and 1, and the positive cases of periodic acid-Schiff staining were 11, 0, 3, 0, 0 and 0, respectively.The staining results of the 11 negative controls were negative. Conclusions:Fluorescence staining is more sensitive than periodic acid-Schiff staining in the detection of fungal components in paraffin-embedded corneal tissues, and it can significantly improve the fungal detection rates.

BACKGROUND:After peripheral nerve injury, to inhibit scar formation by drugs is the key to functional recovery. To reduce the amount of scar formation we designed a prednisolone-loaded film which can sustain drug release and good achievement in in vitro drug release test.
OBJECTIVE:To prepare the prednisolone implantable film and investigate its in vivo biocompatibility and safety.
METHODS:Prednisolone-loaded nanoparticles were first prepared with reverse micellar emulsion-solvent evaporation method, and the composite film and drug-loaded film were further prepared. Then, we investigated the in vivo biocompatibility of drug-loaded film through celltoxicity test, hemolysis test, acute systemic toxicity test, chronic systemic toxicity test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After cultured for 7 days, the relative growth rate of L929 mouse fibroblasts was 92.6%, showing no cytotoxicity. The hemolysis rate of the film was 0.59%, indicating that the material had no hemolysis action. No abnormal biological behaviors were seen in mice after intraperitoneal injection of film extracts, and there were no changes in liver and renal functions in rats. As il ustrated above, we can safely come to a conclusion that prednisolone-loaded film possesses good biocompatibility and can be safely used in the experiment of reducing the scar at sites of peripheral nerve repair.
