Objective To study the clinical and imaging features of chronic tuberculous pyothorax associated with malignant tumors.Methods Imaging features of three cases of chronic tuberculous pyothorax associated with malignant tumors proved by pathology were analyzed with literatures reviewed.Results On chest radiograph and CT,thickening and calcification of the parietal and visceral pleura,soft tissue masses in the lung field adjacent to the empyema were showed.The soft tissue masses were connected with the wall of empyema,the density was homogeneous(one case) or heterogeneous(2 cases).At the location which masses connected with the empyema,the calcifications were removal,decreased or discontinuous.Conclusion The imaging features of chronic tuberculous pyothorax associated with malignant tumors are of some characteristics,especially the appearances of calcification,soft mass and haziness of fat plane are more valuable for diagnosis.

AIM: To observe the mechanism of intracellu la r signal transduction that fraction F of naja naja atra venom inhibits plate let aggregation. METHODS: Tests were divided into six groups: (1) blank group; (2 ) control group and (3)-(6) ADP plus fraction F group (doses of fraction F were 100, 30, 10, 3 mg/L, respectively). Protein tyrosine phosphorylation in platelet s was assayed by Western blotting and platelet aggregation was assayed by nephel omete r. RESULTS: Fraction F significantly inhibited molecular masses (MW ) 76, 66 and 37.5 kD protein tyrosine phosphorylation in platelet that induced by ADP in a dose-dependent manner, in which 30 and 100 mg/L dose group showed ob viously different effects when compared to control group (P

Objective To study the effect of tail-suspending on myostatin(MSTN)expression in the soleus muscle of rats.Methods The MSTN mRNA levels in soleus muscle of tail-suspended and normal control rats were measured and compared.Results The MSTN mRNA in soleus muscle of tail-suspended rats was 2.2 times(hind limb unloading for 14 days)and 3.5 times(hind limb unloading for 30 days) higher than that in normal control rats (P<0.05).The relative wet weight of the soleus muscle in tail-suspended rats was decreased by 11%(unloading 14 days)and 1 9%(unloading 30 days),respectively,compared with that in normal control rats.Conclusion The expression of MSTN mRNA is elevated in the soleus muscle of tail-suspended rats,probably due to atrophy of the soleus muscle.

[Objective]To investigate the expression of protein destrin in cytoskeleton protein in traumatic arterial aneurysm(TAA) vessel wall tissue and its relationship with clinical representations and pathological characteristics.[Method]Western-blot analysis and RT-PCR were used to detect the quantitative expression of destrin protein in 13 patients with TAA and in the femoral arterial tissues of 8 normal subjects.The difference of protein expression was compared,and the results with clinical data were analyzed statistically.The correlation of unbalanced expression of destrin protein with the clinical presentations was studied.[Result] The expression of destrin in TAA tissue was lower than that in the femoral artery of normal subjects(P

The data analysis of food supervision needs to reflect the integration of food safety and possible trend based on the fun-damental test data of stressed foods and their products. With the assessment and analysis on potential resources of hazard elements, the integrate management support of food safety could be achieved. The data management could be organized and evaluated through plan, collection, treatment and display, which might be assisted to establish data-link with process mining to enforce the prospect of food safety background and trend and to provide the support of food safety management.

Objective To characterize the effects of Sanchi on the alcoholic hepatopathy rats.Methods 70 SD male rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal group(n=10),control group(n=15),high-dose Sanchi group(n=15),low-dose Sanchi group(n=15),and Tiopronin group(n=15).In order to induce alcoholic hepatopathy,animals in the control,high-dose and low dose Sanchi,and Tiopronin groups were orally dosed with HongXing ErGuoTou(56% ethanol;5g/kg),corn oil(2ml/kg),and pyrazole(27.2 mg/kg)every morning for 14 weeks.Rats in high-dose Sanchi,low dose Sanchi,and Tiopronin groups,were treated every afternoon during the 14-week induction of hepatopathy,with 1.2g/kg Sanchi,0.6g/kg,and 100mg/kg Tiopronin,respectively.All rats were sacrificed 12 hours following the last injection.Blood samples were obtained prior to euthanization.Blood-fat and serum lipoidase activity were measured using an automatic blood biochemical analyzer.Blood haluronic acid(HA),laminin(LN)were determined by ELISA.Histopathological changes of hepatic tissues(i.e.steatosiss,inflammation,and fibrosis)were assessed by microscopic examination of HE and Masson staining of the right lobe of livers.Results Compared with rats from the normal group(treated with ddH2O),rats in the control group have significantly higher steatosis,inflammation,liver fibrosis,and increased level of serum cholesterol,HDL-C,LDL-C,haluronic acid,laminin and AST/ALT activity,(P0.05).More importantly,treatment with high-dose,low-dose Sanchi,or Tiopronin resulted in less severe steatosis,inflammation,fibrosis in the liver,and reduced the levels of serum haluronic acid,laminin(P0.05).Conclusions(1)Daily dosing of alcohol,corn oil,and pyrozole for 14 weeks faithfully replicated the alcoholic hepatopathy symptoms observed in the ALD model,such as hepatic steatosis,immune cell infiltration,blood-fat disturbance,increase in serum AST/ALT activity,and liver fibrosis.(2)Sanchi can significantly alleviate the symptoms in the alcoholic hepatopathy rats including steatosis,improve hepatic function and fibrosis.

P53 protein plays a crucial role in inhibition tumor development.It will accumulate in cells in the condition of DNA damage,oncogenes activation or stress.As a nuclear transcription factor,P53 can transactivate the genes which correlate with apoptosis,cell cycle control and other procedures. Current research reveals P53 outside the nucleus can induce apoptosis and inhibit autophagy which contributes to its function of tumor suppression.The study of the extranuclear function of P53 is beneficial to further understanding the mechanism of P53 in the genesis and development of tumor.

Objective To evaluate the desflurane-induced sympathetic activation with finger tip perfusion index (FTPl). Methods Forty-eight ASA ⅠorⅡ patients aged 25-60 yr undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=16 each): groupⅠsevoflurane; group Ⅱ desflurane and groupⅢ desthrane + propofol. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.03 mg/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg and fentanyl 2 μg/kg. Tracheal intubatian was facilitated with vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT 8-10 ml/kg, RR 12 bpm). PETCO2 was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg. In group ⅠandⅡanesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and desflurane respectively. The end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane and desflurane were rapidly increased to 0.5 MAC, 1.0 MAC and 1.5 MAC and maintained at each level for 5 rain. In group Ⅲanesthesia was maintained with TCI of propofol and destlurane. The target plasma prepofol concentration was set at 1 μg/ml and the end-tidal concentration was rapidly increased to 0.5 MAC and 1.0 MAC and maintained at each level for 5 mitt. MAP, HR, FTPI and BIS were continuously monitored and recorded at 5 rain after midazolam (T0), 3 rain after induction of anesthesia (T1), immediately after tracheal intubation (T2), as soon as the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane and desflurane reached 0.5 MAC(T3), 1.0 MAC(T5) and 1.5 MAC(T7) and after being maintained at 0.5 MAC (T4), 1.0 MAC (T6) and 1.5 MAC (T8) for5 rain. The plasma renin activity and the levels of angintonin Ⅱwere determined at T0, T1, T2, T5 and T7 by using radioimmuno-ssay. Results FTPI was significantly lower at T5 than at T4 in group Ⅱ HR and MAP were significantly lower at T4-6 and T8 and FTPI were significantly lower at T3～6 and T0 than at T7 in group Ⅱ. HR and MAP were significantlyhigher while FTPI was lower at T7 in groupⅡthan in group Ⅰ The changes in MAP and FTPI between T4 and T5 were significantly less in group Ⅲthan in group Ⅱ. The time when the highest value of FTPI was maintain was significantly shorter than the time when the highest values of HR and MAP were maintained at T5 and T7 in group ⅡΔFTPI was negatively correlated with ΔHR and ΔMAP (r=-0.593, P<0.05;r=-0.591, P<0.05). Conclusion FTPI can reflect the desflurane-induced sympathetic activation promptly and sensitively.
