Non-invasive coronary artery angiography is one of the hotspots of imaging.This article reviewed the status and the relevant advancement of the cardiac EBCT, DSCT, MSCT and MR imaging.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of middle-late hepatocarcinoma by transcather arterial chemoembolization (TACE).Methods 60 patients with middle-late hepatocarcinoma were undergone selective hepatic artery catheter purfusion chemotherapy combined with iodized oil embolism through femoral artery using Seldinger technique totally . All patients 140 times . Results There were significant effect in 36 cases (60%),effect in 19 cases (31.7%) and stable in 5 cases(8.7%) after treatment.The survival rate has been improved,38 cases ( 63.3%) have survived for more than 12 months . Conclusion For the patients with middle-late hepatocarcinoma,TACE is curative effect,it can prolong survival time significantly and improve patient’s life quality.

The muscle arrangements of esophago-gastric junction were observed in 30 human specimens. Muscles of the esophago-gastric junction consist of two layers-an outer longitudinal oblique layer and an inner circular oblique layer. At the top of esophageal vestibule 2 superficial muscle bundles may be identified. They are continuous with longitudinal muscle fibers of the tubular esophagus and runs to the stomach. The deep circular layer of the tubulovestibular junction is thicker than that of the tubular esophagus. It looks like a sphincter which lies 27.06 2.11mm above the cardiac incisure. At the middle segment of the esophageal vestibule some of the circular muscle fibers turn into spiral or loop forms. At the terminal portion of the vestibule two semicircular muscles separately localized towards the fundus and the lesser curvature of the stomach. They overlap at the back or at the front of the stomach. A small bundle opposite the gastric sling fiber demarcates the right margin of the esophago-gastric junction.

Fluorescence imaging of animal in vivo is to tag cell or DNA with fluorescence reporter gene, and then detect the fluorescence using sensitive optics apparatus. With this system, researcher can observe tumor growth, metastasis and angiogenesis in vivo, and reliable information for tumor diagnosis and treatment will be provided for researcher.

Near-infrared technology can be used as an auxiliary means for the early diagnosis of cancer and for surgical resection of tiny lesion that can not be discriminated by naked eyes,but it can not satisfy the purpose when used alone.Thus,we have developed an integrated technique by combining near-infrared and other technologies,and extended the scope of its application.This article reviews the advances of several integrated techniques applied to tumor research,including double labeled technology of nuclide and near-infrared,the combination of near-infrared and fluorescence resonance energy transfer,the combined use of near-infrared and endoscopy,and the integration of near-infrared with carbon nanotubes.

Objective To study clinicopathologic significance of eosinophils in human nasal polyps and the effect of corticosteroids.Methods 90 cases of nasal polyps were divided into two group randomly:corticosteriods group(n=30) with topical application of budesonide(BUD,400?g/d) for 14 days before endoscopic polypectomy,and control group(n=60) without BUD before surgery.All cases were stained with HE.Results Eosinophils showed higer in the group of nasal polyps than in the group of norm al inferior turbinate(P

Forty human fetuses ranging from C-R length 72 mm (which corresponds to a developmental stage of the second week in the third month of the embryo) to fullterm were used to investigate the nutrient arteries of the femora using the dissection method and roentgenography. In comparison with adults, there are apparently more (P

Objective To evaluate the influencing factors on image quality and the value of clinical application of coronary artery angiography with 16-slice spiral CT.Methods 16-slice spiral CT angiography was performed in 31 suspected coronary heart disease(CHD).All patients were examined in ordinary scanning (slice 3 mm) and coronary artery scanning (slice 1 mm)with the technique of retrospective electrocardiography gating,and multiplanar reconstruction(MPR),maximum intensity projection(MIP) and volume reconstruction technology(VRT) were done.The showing rate of coronary arteriae,the detecting rate of CHD and the influencing factors on image quality were evaluated by CT.Results 16-slice spiral CT could clearly show RCA1,RCA2,LAD1,LAD2,,LCX1.The image quality was affected by heart rate,breath movement and much calcification in artery,etc.Conclusion 16-slice spiral CT is of significant value in screening and diagnosing coronary artery disease.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Gymnadenia conopsea alcohol extract (GcAE) on the collagen synthesis in rat lungs exposed to silica and the influence on antioxidase activities, level of lipid peroxidation (LPO). METHODS: One hundred and twenty rats were randomly divided into control group, silica group, and GcAE-treated group. Silicotic animal models were established by direct tracheal instillation of silica into rat lungs surgically. From the second day of model establishment, rats in GcAE-treated group were orally given GcAE [8 g/(kg x d) corresponding to raw herb]. At 7, 14, 21, 28 and 60 days after establishment of the animal model, eight rats in each group were sacrificed, and samples were collected. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities in plasma were assayed by a spectrophotometer. Types I and III collagen were detected by Sirius red polarization and microscopy, and measuered by Image-Pro Plus Version 4.5 for Windows software. RESULTS: GcAE could reduce the lung/body weight ratio of rats exposed to silica, the synthesis of types I and III collagen of the lungs and the level of lipid peroxidation, increase the activities of SOD and GPx. CONCLUSION: GcAE can ameliorate the silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis by increasing the activities of antioxidase and alleviating the damage of lipid peroxidation to the lungs.
