Objective To assess the image quality of coronary CT angiography(CCTA) by using high-pitch spiral CT under 80 kV in patients with a normal body mass index(BMI), and to investigate the feasibility of low radiation dose.Methods 60 patients,who suspicious coronary artery diseases and BMI between 18.6-25.0 kg/m2 underwent CCTA in our hospital.All patients were randomly divided into group A and group B(each with 30).Patients in group A were given 100 kV CCTA and filter back-projection algorithm (FBP), and patients in group B were given 80 kV CCTA and iterative reconstruction(IR).CT values of aortic root, right coronary artery (RCA), left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex (LCX) and standard deviation (SD) were measured.Then signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated.All images were given quality subjective scoring by using 3-score method.The CT dose index was recorded and effective radiation dose (ED) was calculated.Results ED of group A and group B was 0.8 mSv and 0.41 mSv, respectively.Statistically significant difference was found between these two groups.In the study, SD was (28±6) HU in group A and (46±9) HU in group B, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups.The CT values of aortic root, RCA, LAD and LCX under 80 kV were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups.There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in RCA-SNR, LAD-SNR and RCA-CNR.But in LCX-SNR, LAD-CNR, LCX-CNR, there was statistically significant difference between two groups.There was no significant difference between the two groups in coronary artery segments which could be used for diagnosis.Conclusion For patients with a normal BMI, CCTA using Flash spiral CT under 80 kV could diagnose coronary artery disease and significantly reduce the radiation dose.

AIM:To explore the differences between unilateral recess-resection (R & R) and bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLR-rec) in the treatment of basic intermittent exotropia.METHODS: A retrospective analysis of treatment of basic intermittent exotropia in 89 patients,in which 49 cases underwent unilateral recess-resection,40 cases underwent bilateral lateral rectus recession of external rectus retroperitoneal surgery January 2013 to January 2015 in our hospital.The stereopsis and strabismus were observed in 1d,1,6mo,1 and 2a after operation.RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the success rate and oblique degree between the two groups after 1d,1,6mo,1 and 2a (all P>0.05),but the success rate of the operation was reducing as time passed.After 2d of the operation,the drift of the R & R group was 12.10±5.74PD and the drift of the BLR-rec group was 7.78±4.21PD,the difference was statistically significant (P=0.021).The R & R group was more likely to cause lateral slanting than BLR-rec group.Two groups of patients with nearly stereopsis were both significantly improved,there was no significant difference between the two groups in the two groups (x2=4.530,P=0.210).CONCLUSION: The long-term stability of BLR-rec is superior to R & R.

Aim To investigate the effects of diallyl di-sulfide( DADS) on G2/M arrest in Chk1/MGC803 and Chk2/MGC803 cells so as to establish stable human gastric cancer MGC803 cells with overexpression of Chk1/2 gene. Methods The colony formation, flow cytometry, RT-PCR and Western blot were used to de-tect the proliferation, cell cycle, and expression of Chk1/2 mRNA and protein, p-Chk1/2, CDC25C and cyclinB1, respectively. Results The colony formation showed that the colony forming efficiency in Chk1/MGC803 and Chk2/MGC803 cells treated by 30 mg· L-1 DADS was lower than in control group and vector group ( P <0. 05 ) . Flow cytometry demonstrated that 41. 3%, 57. 4%, 68. 9% and 42. 9% of G2/M cells in Chk1/MGC803 were increased than in MGC803 and Chk2/MGC803 , respectively after treated by DADS in 12,24, 36 and 48 h(P <0. 05). At the same time, RT-PCR disclosed that expression of Chk1 and Chk2 mRNA had no marked change. Western blot showed that total proteins of Chk1 and Chk2 and p-Chk2 had invisible change, but expression of p-Chk1 was up-reg-ulated, and CDC25C and cyclinB1 were down-regula-ted time-dependently in Chk1/MGC803 cells ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusion DADS arrests MGC803 cells at G2/M by increasing p-Chk1 expression to cause down-regulation of CDC25C and cyclinB1 simultaneously.

AIM: To investigate the effects of auricularia auricular polysaccharide (AAP) on chronic cerebral ischemia injury in rats. METHODS: The chronic cerebral ischemia mode1 was made by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) on the right side. AAP at different doses (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg) was intragastrically administered at the onset of ischemia and in the following days after operation, once a day for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of MCAO, Morris water maze test was introduced to examine the learning and memory functions. Nissl staining was performed to detect the survival neurons in hippocampal slices. Level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in brain tissue were measured. RESULTS: Rats treated with AAP showed a shorter escaping latency in spacial navigation test because the AAP treated rats spent less time to find the platform in spatial probe test. More survival neurons in hippocampal slices were observed from AAP treated rats. Also, the MDA level in brain tissue was reduced and SOD activity in brain tissue was increased in the AAP treated rats with MCAO. CONCLUSION: AAP protects rats from chronic brain ischemic injury, in which its anti-oxidative effect might be involved.

Objective:To improve the quality standard of Tongsai Yinao oral liquids for the quality control. Methods: TLC was used for the qualitative identification of Rhizoma corydails, Rhizoma chuanxiong and Rhizoma acori tatarinowii. HPLC was used to sim-ultaneously determine the content of total ferulic acid in the oral liquids. The determination was performed on a Lichrospher-C18 (250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm)column with the mobile phase of methanol-0.1% H3PO4(30∶70). The flow rate was 1.0 ml·min-1,the col-umn temperature was at 30℃, the detection wavelength was 321nm and the injection volume was 20μl. Results:The spots on the TLC plates were clear without the interference of negative control. The linear range of ferulic acid was obtained between 2. 24 and 35. 84 μg ·ml-1(r=0. 999 9), and the average recovery was 102. 54%(RSD=0. 85%, n=6). Conclusion:The improved method is accu-rate and feasible. It can be used very conveniently in the quality control.
