Objective To evaluate the functional outcome,predicting response and toxicity of CT- guided permanent implanted ~(125)I seed branchytherapy for metastatic cancers in vertebrae.Methods Forty three vertebrae with metastatic cancer were treated by CT-guided percutaneous permanent implanted ~(125)I seed branchytherapy in 15 patients.There were 8 male and 7 female patients with average age of 54.6 years and 2 to 5 vertebrae involved in this group.According to the size of tumor,the optimal activity and quantity of seeds were calculated by TPS and correlative formula.~(125)I seeds were implanted percutaneous puncture under CT- guidance with coaxial needles to pass the normal osseous tissue for approaching the lesions including 3 routes of pedicnlar lateral and anterior ways.The distance between seeds and posterior border of vertebral body was over 3 nun(3-10mm).Permanent ~(125)I seed implantation brachytherapy for paraspinal metastatic lesions were also taken place.Results Mean follow-up time was 12.3 months(range 3-30 months)and outcome was evaluated clinically and radiographieally in 10 of 15 procedures,with 5 only on clinical data.No new pain occurred at 11 sites with no previous complaint.The pain was completely controlled at 18/32 sites,partial control at 14/32 sites.No complications correlated to the radiotherapy damage of nerve and spinal cord were found.Conclusion The procedure of CT-guided permanent implanted ~(125)I seeds brachytherapy for vertebral metastatic cancers is a safe effective and minimal invasive method with few complications.It is beneficial not only for pretherapeutic metastasis but also for recurrent tumors after radiotherapy;bearing rather high tolerance and safety.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:834-837)

OBJECTIVE:To improve the system of management and maintenance for the purification air-conditioning system in PIVAS,and to further strengthen the management of cleaning environment. METHODS:The cleanness monitoring project of purifi-cation air-conditioning system in PIVAS of our hospital was introduced in terms of temperature and humidity record,pressure differ-ence record,airborne particles detection,settling microbe monitoring report. And the monitoring results were analyzed. RESULTS:The temperature and humidity,pressure difference of clean area in PIVAS of our hospital are both in line with the standard of Phar-macy Intravenous Admixture Quality Management Specification (2010 edition),i.e. temperature at 18-26 ℃,relative humidity of 40%-65%;negative pressure difference between antibiotics,hazardous drug dispensing area and second dressing room are 5-10 Pa. The number of airborne particles (average static particle/m3) at various cleanness degrees in clean area are all in line with the standard of GMP(2010 edition),i.e. maximal allowable number of airborne particles(≥0.5 μm)were 3 520/m3(100 degree);352 000/m3 (10 000 degree);3 520 000/m3 (100 000 degree). The percentage of qualified static settling microbe detection reach 100%in clean area,which is in line with the standard of Settling Microbe Detection Method in Clean Room(Area) of Pharmaceu-tical Industry,i.e. criteria for settling microbe(90 mm)CFU/0.5 h≤1(100 degree);≤3(10 000 degree);≤10(100 000 degree). The percentage of qualified dynamic settling microbe detection is in low level,especially those of dispensing room and secondary dressing room only reaches 80%. CONCLUSIONS:It’s important for effective hospital infection control in PIVAS,the quality im-provement of intravenous injection,the safety guarantee of drug use in patients to further improve standard operation procedure of purification air-conditioning system management and maintenance,and manage and maintain the purification air-conditioning sys-tem completely and scientifically.

Objective To establish an accurate TaqMan probe real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR)method for detection of Theiler''s-like virus of rats (TLV).Methods Primers and TaqMan probes specific to 3622~3729 nt region were designed according to the whole genomic sequence of TLV representative strain.Using a synthesized plasmid as DNA standard template, the stability, specificity, and sensitivity of the qPCR method were determined.Results In the standard curve, R2 value was 0.99 with a high specificity.The sensitivity of the real-time PCR was less than 10 copies/μL, which was 100 times higher than the ordinary PCR method.No cross reactions appeared to the other rat viruses.Conclusions The TaqMan probe qPCR method established in this study has advantages such as simple to use, high sensitivity and specificity.

Objective:To seek any correlation of the ratio of knee flexor to knee extensor peak torque (H/Q) with the balance and walking ability of hemiplegic stroke survivors.Methods:Thirty stroke survivors with hemiplegia had the H/Q value of their knees measured at angular velocities of 60°/sec and 120°/sec using an isokinetic muscle strength test. Their motor control ability was assessed using the Pro-Kin balance test system, while their balance and walking were assessed using the Berg balance scale (BBS), the stand-to-walk timing test (TUGT) and the 10m walk test (10MWT). Any correlation was sought between the H/Q value of the affected knee, the test results, stability limits and offset index.Results:The average H/Q values of the affected knee joint at 60°/sec and 120°/sec were significantly lower than those of healthy joints. They were positively correlated with BBS scores and stability limits, and negatively correlated with TUGT and 10MWT times and with the offset indices.Conclusion:The H/Q value of the affected knee of a stroke survivor with hemiplegia predicts balance and walking ability. It may be a useful clinical indicator for evaluating their motor functioning.

The biochemical mechanism of degrading keratins by S.fradiae var S-221 was primarily studied.The compounds (Na_ 2 SO_ 4 , Na_ 2 SO_ 3 and sulfdryl acohol), which respecitively enhance specific activity of keratinase, activate keratinase intensively and mainly act on the disulfide bonds reductase in the keratinase, Na_ 2 SO_ 3 activates intensively both disulfide bonds reductase and polypeptide hydrolytase at 0.01 mol/L, whereas Na_ 2 S_ 2 O_ 3 , which acts on the disulfide bonds reductase, inhibits keratinase.On the condition that substrate, keratins exists, S.fradiae var S-221 is induced to produce exo-keratinase, which is a multiproteinase, containing disulfide bonds reductase, which is a key enzyme degrading keratins, then, with polypeptidic, hydrolytase, graduately hydrolyzates denatured keratins into polypeptides, oligopeptides and free amino acids, so that keratins have been decomposed completely.Sulfur in the keratins was transferred into sulfhydryl compounds, H_ 2 S and sulfates in the course of keratinolysine.

Objective To describe the MRI features and pathologic findings of biliary cystadenocarcinoma(BCAC)and to assess the diagnostic value of MRI in those tumors.Methods Five cases of BCAC were collected.All cases were proved by pathology.Non-enhanced and multiphase-enhanced MRI were performed in all cases.MRCP were performed in two cases.The MRI features of the five cases were reviewed retrospectively and correlated with pathologic findings.Results Histological evidence demonstrated five cases of BCAC.Four cases were solitary,whereas the other case was multifocal.All cases were solid and cystic lesions.Two cases were unilocular,whereas the other three cases were multilocular. Multiple mural nodules and irregular thickening cystic walls were presented in all cases.The cystic parts of the lesions were homogeneous in signal intensity and showed no enhancement after contrast administration in the five BCAC.Septa were present in three BCAC with multilocular cyst.On MRCP the bile duct dilatation was found in two BCAC.Conclusion MRI can reveal the characteristic findings of BCAC and accurate preoperative diagnosis can be made.

Objective To study effectiveness and effect on the internal environment of exchange transfusion using peripheral arteries and veins.Methods Exchange transfusion were performed through the peripheral arteries and veins on 22 cases of newborn infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia.Blood electrolyte,blood routine,blood bio- chemistry were measured before and after change blood.Vital signs were monitored electronically recorded.Results Total bilirubin was(595.28?134.44)?mol/L before exchange transfusion and(275.17?74.05)?mol/L after ex- change transfusion(P

Objective To determine the effecting factors for diagnosis of binign or malignant in cystic lesions of pancreas(CLP).Methods One hundred twenty-six patients undergoing operations for CLP or suspected CLP in this hospital from January 1984 to June 2008 were reviewed.Patients were divided into two groups according to lesion's histological features after operation.The predictive effect of various preoperative factors on the malignant potential of CLP was evaluated.Results One hundred twenty-six patients underwent operations for suspected pancreatic cystic neoplasms.There were 89 benign and 37 malignant CLPs.The univariate analysis showed that gender, clinical symptoms(jaundice and weight loss), elevated serum CA199, and presence of one or more of three morphologic features such as solid component, nodule or septation were significantly different between benign and malignant cystic neoplasm of pancreas.The multivariate analysis indicated that imaging features and gender were independent predictors of malignancy.Conclusion In patients with suspected pancreatic cystic neoplasms, elevated serum CA199, clinical symptoms(jaundice and weight loss)and presence of suspicious morphologic features on imaging are predictors of malignant potential of CLP.Patients with a high likelihood of a potentially malignant or malignant lesion based on these three factors should undergo operation without additional investigations.

Objective The detection of malignant lymphoma with invasion in liver and spleen using PET/CT has not been well documented in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of PET/CT in this regard and to compare it with plain CT. Methods Forty-one pathologically confirmed malignant lymphoma patients with liver and spleen invasion were recruited into this study. Among all patients, there were 38 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), 2 Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and 1 gastric mucosa associated lymphoma. PET/CT imaging was recorded 1h after injection of 296～444 MBq 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Results (1) There were 30(30/41) patients with liver invasion, including hepatic nodules, mass and portal nodes. The mass was large to invade surrounding liver parenchyma. (2) There were 23(23/41) patients with spleen invasion. The spleen was enlarged and demonstrated diffused hyper-metabolism. (3) Other invasion included: lung (n=13), cortical bone and marrow (n=12), stomach (n=9), pleural (n=6), and subcutaneous soft tissue (n=5) and so on. Conclusion PET/CT could accurately diagnose the invasion in liver and spleen of malignant lymphoma, which was of potential role on the diagnosis and staging of lymphoma.
