Complete surgical resection is very important for the outcome of cancer treatment and prognosis.Radionuclide imaging and optical imaging are effective methods for intra-operative guidance of tumor exploration and resection because of their capability in accurate tumor localization and margin delineation.With the development of more specific molecular probes and more sensitive detectors,advanced imaging methods that combine the advantages of both optical and radionuclide imaging,such as Cerenkov luminescence imaging,will be expected to play a more important role as intra-operative navigating agents for surgical oncology in the near future.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a novel class of small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by targeting mRNAs for either cleavage or translational repression.Accumulated studies show that miRNAs aberrantly expressed in tumors are closely related with tumorogenesis and could be potential tumor biomarkers.It will be helpful in the diagnosis,prognosis and(or) predicting treatment response of tumor by imaging miRNAs expression.Several molecular imaging methods,including the optical imaging,radionuclide imaging and multimodality imaging,have been successfully used to visualize miRNAs,miRNAs,a new molecular imaging target,may explore a new field for tumor diagnosis and therapy.

Objective To study some sensitive electrophysiological parameters in surveillance of allograft rejection.Methods Forty rats underwent heterotopic heart transplantations.IMEG was re- corded by an epicardiac unipolar pacing lead fixed at the right ventricular outflow tract.QRS amplitude and heart rate were determed daily in 10 syngeneic and 30 allogeneic transplants.Syngeneic transplants were killed at 7 th postoperative day,and allogeneic transplants killed at 3 rd,5 th and 7 th postopera- tive day.Histopathologie studies were performed at every transplanted heart.Results In syngeneic group,QRS amplitude kept constant after the transplantation while no significant differences were ob- served at the 3 rd,5 th and 7 th postoperative day.QRS amplitude was dropped obviously in allogeneic group after the first two postoperative days whereas significant differences were observed at the rejec- ting and non-rejecting hearts.Conclusions IMEG is a valid method to monitor acute allograft rejec- tion.QRS amplitude is a more sensitive electrophysiological parameter to diagnose severe rejections than heart rate,while mild rejections were not detected by this method.

Objective To observe the effect of trichostatina to induce mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) differentiating into cardiomyocyte cells and to explore the potential interference approaches.Methods MSCs were incubated with different concentrations of TSA and different time,then to detecte the histone deacetylase(HDAC) activity;the differentiation of MSCs was observed by phase-contrast mictmcopy;fluorescence immunohistochemistry assessed cardiac troponin T and RT-PCR detected the expression of Nkx-2.5,GATA-4 genes.Results HDAC activity was the lowest when incubated with 300 nmol/L TSA for 24 hours,expression of cTnT of the cells was enhanced after incubation with TSA.The expression of Nkx-2.5,GATA-4 genes was enhanced before interference.ConclusionTSA can promote MSCs to differentiate into cardiomyocyte cells in vitro in an optimized condition.

According to the specialty characteristics of medical college and university and the reality of teaching on the analytic chemistry experiment,this article explored a new thought on teaching of analytic chemistry experiment for majors of medicine and pharmaceutics.By optimizing the course teaching system,enhancing the requirement of experience teaching,renewing the teaching contents and integrating basal experiment with integrated and designed experiment,we obtained good teaching effect.

Objective To investigate the variation of interleukin-6 ( IL-6 ) , vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),E-selectin and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)in children with sepsis and the clinical significance. Methods This was a prospective and control study. Thirty-two children diagnosed as sepsis in PICU from December 2008 to December 2009 served as the sepsis group. According to whether there was a shock, sepsis group were divided into shock subgroup and no shock subgroup. Fifteen healthy children served as control group. The serum levels of IL-6,VEGF,E-selectin and ICAM-1 were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results The serum level of IL-6 was 65. 00(30. 49~237. 14) ng/L in shock subgroup and 48. 68(30. 25~75. 00) ng/L in no shock subgroup,which were significantly higher than that in control group[0. 80(0. 60 ~1. 00) ng/L](P<0. 05). There was no significant difference between shock subgroup and no shock subgroup. The serum levels of VEGF and E-selectin showed no significant differences among the three groups. The serum level of ICAM-1 was 998. 72(666. 93~1 526. 44) ng/ml in shock subgroup,and 925. 71(683. 53~1 225. 12) ng/ml in no shok subgroup,which were significantly high-er than that in control group[660. 59(525. 48~685. 47) ng/ml]. Compared with those who survived in sep-sis group,the serum levels of VEGF and E-selectin in the died children with sepsis showed no significant difference,but IL-6 and ICAM-1 significantly increased(P<0. 05). Conclusion IL-6 and ICAM-1 increase greatly and accentuate inflammation in septic patients,the changes of which may help to determine the prog-nosis of sepsis.

25% or decrease by 15%,at termination ofTCI propofol and 5 rain after termination for determination of arterial plasma propofol concentrations which werecompared with the values predicted by the TCI system.Performance was determined by the median performanceerror(MDPE),the mean absolute performance error(MDAPE),the divergence and the wobble.Results A totalof 200 blood samples were taken.The mean value for MDPE was 14.9%(-21.6%-42.9%),for MDAPE23.3%(6.9%-62.5%),for divergence -1.9%?h~(-1)(-32.7%?h~(-1)-23.0%?h~(-1))and for wobble 18.9%(4.2%-59.6%).PE did not increase with time but with increasing target propofol concentration.ConclusionThe anesthesia was satisfactory in all patients.The predictive performance of Diprifusor TCI system is consideredacceptable for clinical purposes.The wobble is relatively big,for Chinese patients the pharmacokinetic model needsimproving.

Objective To explore the variation of insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and glucose and correlation in children with sepsis. Methods Forty-two children with sepsis in pediatric intense care unit were enrolled from January 2009 to January 2010. In the morning (2nd morning) after admission, the blood glucose, serum IGF-I, cortisol, insulin, IL-6, and IGF-binding protein-I (IGFBP-1) were detected. In the 3rd and 5th morning, the serum IGF-1 was detected again. According to the blood glucose level of the 2nd morning, the children with sepsis were divided into hyperglycemia group and normal group. Meanwhile, 60 healthy children were served as control group. The data had been compared among three groups. Results In the 2nd morning, the levels of blood glucose, serum IGF-I, cortisol, insulin, and IL-6 were signiifcantly different among three groups (all P<0.05), but the serum IGFBP-I was not signiifcantly different (P>0.05). Compared with control group, the sepsis children with hyperglycemia and with normal blood glucose all had signiifcantly higher serum levels of cortisol and IL-6, and signiifcantly lower serum level of IGF-I. In the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th morning, the serum levels of IGF-1 were not signiifcantly changed with time in sepsis children with hyperglycemia and with normal blood glucose (all P>0.05). Meanwhile, there were no signiifcant differ-ences in the serum levels of IGF-1 between sepsis children with hyperglycemia and with normal blood glucose in the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th morning (all P>0.05). In children with sepsis, the blood glucose and serum IGF-1 was not correlated in the next morning (r=0.152, P=0.267). Conclusions The serum level of IGF-I decreased but maintain stable in children with sepsis. The change of blood glucose may be not related with IGF-I.
