Objective To explore the feasibility of evaluation of hepatic fibrosis using the tissue dispersion quantitative analysis software based on ultrasonic elastography. Methods Forty-six chronic liver disease patients were examined by tissue dispersion quantitative analysis software. There were 11 characteristic quantities of elastography imaging obtained by the tissue dispersion quantitative analysis software,including average relative strain value,standard deviation of relative strain value,area ratio of low-strain region ( AREA%) , complexity, kurtosis, skewness, contrast, entropy, inverse different moment,angular second moment,correlation. The 11 characteristic quantities were compared with pathological stages of hepatic fibrosis. Results The characteristic quantities had statistically significant differences except kurtosis and correlation in the analysis of variance and correlational study with pathological stages ( P < 0.05). The AREA% had the highest related coefficient ( r = 0.725). The ROC curve was made by AREA% ,the areas under the ROC curve were 0. 865 ,0. 880 and 0. 886. Conclusions The tissue dispersion quantitative analysis software is helpful in the evaluation of stages of hepatic fibrosis. The AREA% has the highest relationship with pathological stages of hepatic fibrosis and good diagnostic value.

BACKGROUND:The experimental animal models can be used to in-depth investigate the effect of ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic biliary lesions. But there is no report on the phase timing standard of rabbit model contrast-enhanced ultrasound that used in various hepatobiliary diseases. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the ultrasonic appearance of normal rabbit biliary ducts with conventional ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, and the criterion of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography phase timing of rabbit liver. METHODS:The conventional ultrasonography of hepatobiliary system was performed on 10 healthy New Zealand rabbits, and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was performed on duct wal s that displayed in conventional ultrasonography, then the features were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The bile duct of normal New Zealand rabbits showed a portal to biliary caliber ratio of 3.59±0.54. (2) The detection rates of common and middle lobe bile ducts were significantly higher than that of lateral lobe bile ducts on both conventional ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. (3) The phases of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of normal rabbit liver were divided into arterial phase (10-20 seconds), portal phase (21-30 seconds) and late phase (31-180 seconds). The normal duct wal presented hyper-enhancing at arterial phase and persistent iso-enhancing at portal and late phases. The establishment of these parameters of normal New Zealand rabbits not only lays a foundation for the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography on biliary ischemia but also expands to other hepatobiliary models.

Objective To construct a fusion protein that used for treatment of resistance and palindromia in leukemia and studied its biological activity. Methods IL-3 and LP gene fragments were amplified by PCR. After enzymatic digestion and T4 ligation, the fusion gene was cloned into expression vector pAYZ. The product was purified by exchange chromatography and anti-Etag affinity chromatography. IL3-G4SLP fusion protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Protein biological activity was detected by FACS. Results The fusion protein was expressed as soluble protein by E.Coli 16C9. The protein expression level was about 1 mg/L, its purity was over 95 %, and the expression level was about 1 mg/L. The fusion protein can combined specificely with CD123 on leukemia stem cells. Conclusion Fusion protein IL-3-G4S-LP can target on leukemia stem cells and maybe as a potential drug used for treatment of resistance and palindromia in leukemia.

Objective: To study the pharmacokinetics of diclofenac sodium microemulsions in human. Methods: According to the crossover design, each volunteer was orally given diclofenac sodium microemulsion and diclofenac sodium tablet. The serum concentrations were determined by RP-HPLC with UV-detector. The concentration-time data were analyzed using 3P87 Pharmacokinetic Program and the pharmacokinetics parameters were compared by paired t-test. Results: It was found that diclofenac sodium in serum was linear within the range of 50-8 000 μg/L. The minimum detection concentration was 30 μg/L. The mean rate of recovery was (100.55±1.56)%. After a single oral dose, AUC0~∞ were 5.563,7.891 μg*h/ml, MRT 5.489, 5.387 h for dispersible diclofenac sodium microemulsion and tablet respectively. Conclusion: Absorption progress of diclofenac sodium microemulsion in human may be special.

In the process of MPH graduates education in medical universities , there are three problems such as lack of initiative subjective of postgraduate, uneven level of tutors and monitoring defi-ciency of education. The main reasons are the low quality of MPH graduates, lack of quality consciousness for graduates education and graduates’ value tending to be utilitarian. Facing the problems, we suggest establishing guarantee mechanism for MPH graduate education quality, strengthening the tutors’ construc-tion and framing an eliminating system.

Objective To observe the effect of 2450 MHz microwave on the white blood cells (WBC) and haematogenous of granulocytic series of mice.Methods The whole body of BALB/c mice were exposure to 2450 MHz power density (10 mW/cm2) microwave, and the mice were killed at different times after exposure, to determine the changes of spleen/body ratio, peripheral blood WBC, number of marrow nucleus cells, cell cycle and form ability of GM-CFU (granule and macrophage-clone forming unit).Results The number of peripheral blood WBC increased at first and then reduced with the exposure time prolonged. Number of marrow nucleus cells kept decreasing after microwave exposure, otherwise, form ability of GM-CFU of marrow cells increased. Exposure to 2450 MHz 10 mV/cm2microwave might speed up marrow nucleus cell passed from G1 period to G2 and S periods.Conclusion Low frequency of 2450 MHz microwave exposure has significant stimulate function on granule cell system, but with the time prolong, number of nucleus cells decreased.
