Seventy dogs were irradiated -with 300. 325, or 350 rad of gamma rays from a 60Co sourse. Half of them were used as controls and the other 35 animals were divided randomly into four groups and were experimentally treated with different regimes.In the first group there were 9 treated, animals and an equal number of control animals 5 all the animals were irradiated with 300 rad. The treatment consisted of a blood transfusion on the 16th day after radiation exposure as well as several antibiotics and other medications. 8 out of the treated animals and one of the controls survived the gamma irradiation.In the second group, ten animals were exposed to 350 rad and 8 to 325 radand they were divided equally into treated and control groups. In spite of early use of blood transfusion and antibiotics, all the treated animals as well as those of the control group died of severe mycotic infections.In the third group, 325 rad was given to the dogs. All 7 dogs of the controls died and two out of the 7 treated dogs survived. The treatment was the same as that of the first group but no blood transfusion was used.In the fourth grou'p?ten animals were irradiated with 350 rad and another ten with 325 rad. They were divided equally into control and treated groups. All the ten controls died. The treated group was given the same treatment as the first group. In addition, tetracycline was given in case there was fever in 'the critical phase of the sickness, and the dosage of tetracycline was doubled whenever fever persisted or recurred. All the treated animals survived.Early blood transfusion was found to be better in its therapeutic effect than late transfusion.

Anelectrochemicallyreducedgrapheneoxide/goldnanoparticle-chitosan(ERGO/AuNP-CS) composite film modified glassy carbon electrode ( GCE) was constructed by directly electrochemical reduction of GO, and then assembly of AuNP-CS polycation on the surface. The surface morphologies of different modified electrodes including bare GCE, GCE/GO, GCE/ERGO and GCE/ERGO/AuNP-CS were characterized by scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) . The differential pulse voltammetric behaviors of the electrodes were investigated, and the results indicated that the composite of ERGO/AuNP-CS exhibited excellent electrocatalytic oxidation activity to uric acid ( UA) molecule. In 0. 10 mol/L of phosphate buffer solution (pH=6. 5) with a scanning rate of 100 mV/s, the proposed composite film modified electrode showed a linear electrochemical response to UA in the range of 0 . 05-110 μmol/L with a detection limit of 12. 4 nmol/L ( S/N = 3 ). The electrode displayed good selectivity, reproducibility and stability in the determination of UA in human serum and urine samples with a recovery of 93 . 8%-104 . 1%. The detection results were agreed with those of conventional spectrophotometry and uricase Kit methods.

ObjectiveTo determine the risk factors and the optimal management of hepatic artery complications (HAC) after orthotopic liver transplantation.MethodsThe clinical data of 180 orthotopic liver transplantation patients performed between January 2005 and September 2007 was reviewed.The incidence of HAC between primary liver carcinoma and benign diseases of liver was compared.ResultsTwelve (6.7％) episodes of HAC were identified.3 were hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) and 9 were hepatic artery stenosis (HAS).The incidence of HAC in patients with primary liver carcinoma (6/39) was higher than benign disease (6/141)(P＜0.05).ConclusionsThe keys to management of HAC after orthotopic liver transplantation are to diagnose the complication in time and to select the proper treatment based on the type of HAC.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of partial splenic embolization using polyvinyl alcohol versus gelfoam to treat hypersplenism in cirrhotic patients.Methods A literature search was performed in databases which included PubMed,Embase,Cochrane library,Sinomed,CNKI,Wangfang data and VIP for trials on partial splenic embolism using PVA or gelfoam to treat hypersplenism in cirrhotic patients.The study was censored in May 2016.After data extraction and assessment of quality,a meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software.Results Five studies which involved 197 patients were selected in this study.Included into the PVA group were 92 patients and the gelfoam group 105 patients.On Meta-analysis,the PVA group had a higher value of WBC a month after PSE (WMD =0.4,95％ CI:0.05 ～ 0.75,P ＜ 0.05),higher values of WBC (WMD =0.39,95％ CI:0.06 ～ 0.71,P ＜0.05) and PLT (WMD =8.08,95％ CI:1.65 ～ 14.51,P ＜ 0.05) on month 6 post-embolization.The degree of post-embolization pain was more severe (RR =1.32,95％ CI:1.14 ～ 1.54,P ＜ 0.05) and the length of painful time was longer (RR =2.01,95％ CI:1.36 ～ 2.66,P ＜0.05) in the PVA group.There were no significant differences in the values of PLT,fever and complications (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions PSE using PVA achieved better short-term and long-term results in hematological indicators than gelfoam.However,the degree and extent of duration of pain were significantly longer.

Objective To explore and evaluate the method and feasibility of applying the contrast agent fluorescein sodium to enhance the efficiency of Cerenkov radiation energy transfer (CRET).Methods Fluorescein sodium was employed as the energy transfer receptor of 18 F-FDG Cerenkov radiation (CR) to achieve stronger signal.18F-FDG was mixed with fluorescein sodium of different concentrations:0.05,0.10,0.20,1.00,2.00,4.00,8.00 mmol/L.Optical signal strength was quantified by ROI analysis.The influence of fluorescein sodium concentration on CRET efficiency and the optimal concentration that could achieve most optical signal augmentation were studied.The optimal concentration of fluorescein sodium was mixed with 1.85-11.10 MBq 18F-FDG for CLI.Linear regression was performed to investigate the range of 18F-FDG dose with most optical signal augmentation and the influence of 18F-FDG dose on CRET efficiency.A tumorbearing nude mouse was imaged after intravenous injection of 18F-FDG and then imaged again after injection of fluorescein sodium post 18 F-FDG injection.These two sets of images were compared to evaluate the CRET efficiency in vivo.Results In vitro study showed that 1.00 mmol/L fluorescein sodium was the optimal concentration for 18F-FDG dose ranging from 1.85 MBq to 11.10 MBq.The signal from 18F-FDG mixed with fluorescein sodium was 3.7 times stronger than that from 18F-FDG alone.Experiment in vivo suggested that 18F-FDG mixed with fluorescein sodium could effectively enhance the signal strength by CRET.Conclusion 18F-FDG mixed with fluorescein sodium may improve the efficiency of CRET,therefore,can enhance the signal strength,reduce the exposure time and achieve better signal to noise ratio.

Objective To explore causes leading to and the timing of liver retransplantation. Methods Among 164 cases of liver transplantation from Jul. 1999 to Dec. 2004, 6 cases underwent retransplantation with an incidence of 3. 65%. Causes included multiple intrahepatic bile duct stricture by ischemic reperfusion injury in 3 cases, hepatic artery stricture and thrombosis, hepatitis B recurrence, outflow obstruction of hepatic veins in one each. Results Clinical symptom improved in 4 cases, and failed to improve in 2 cases. Two cases suffered from intraabdominal bleeding, one biliary leak, one bacterial infection, two mold infection. Two patients died from bacterial and mold infection in four months. Conclusion Ischemic reperfusion injury is main cause resulting in intrahepatic bile duct stricture, liver retransplantation should be performed when the function of graft deteriorates significantly and conservative therapy fails.

Objective To evaluate the analytical performance of a novel HBV DNA assay based on automated DNA extraction and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR .Methods Analytic verification studies.Accuracy and lower limit of detection were assessed by determining a panel of HBV standard plasma of WHO.HBV standard plasma (genotype A, B, C and D) at 6 different concentrations were measured 18 times to evaluate precision and reproducibility .Pseudo-viral particles at high HBV DNA concentration were serially diluted to assess linear range .One hundred and forty-four clinical specimens were quantified for HBV DNA so as to evaluate the correlation between the new test and COBAS ? system. Results Quantification of HBV standard plasma showed acceptable accuracy , with each deviation between observed and expected values within ±0.35 lg IU/ml (-0.17-0.32 lg IU/ml).Intra-assay coefficients of variation ( CV) for genotype A , B, C and D were 3.87% -6.32%, 0.45% -14.68%, 0.16% -8.36% and 0.64%-13.01%respectively, and the inter-assay CV were 5.67%-9.69%, 1.28%-15.68%, 0.36%-9.05%and 1.69%-13.65%, separately.Linearity assessment exhibited an excellent dynamic range of linear quantification from 20 to 1.0 ×1010 IU/ml ( r =0.998, P <0.001 ) .And the satisfactory results obtained at 3 levels of HBV DNA concentration (10, 20, 50 IU/ml, respectively) confirmed the claimed lower limit of detection with 5/5 detectable rate at 20 IU/ml.Furthermore, good correspondence was observed between the new HBV DNA assay and the COBAS ? system with 100% ( 144/144 ) qualitative coincidence and significant correlation based on 104 positive data ( r=0.984, P<0.000 1).Conclusions The novel fully-automated real-time PCR assay displayed good analytical and clinical performance for highly sensitive detection of HBV DNA.It was well suited for monitoring antiviral responses as well as drug resistance according to current clinical practice guidelines for the management of chronic HBV infection .

In this experiment, a novel biotin-avidin conjugation probe was synthesized and employed in the detection of reverse-phase protein microarray. Firstly, the proportion of the biotin-avidin conjugation probe was optimized. Then the rat IgG and goat anti-rat IgG system was served as a model to optimize the fabrication conditions of reverse-phase protein microarray, including the non-specific absorption of streptavidin-Cy3 molecules, spotting buffer as well as protein activities. At last, the biotin-avidin conjugation probe was applied to the detection of the reverse-phase protein microarray. The results show that the protein microarray prepared by using BSA spotting buffer could prevent non-specific absorptions of fluorescent molecules and improve the sensitivity, effectively. In addition, compared with traditional biotin-avidin system, the detection limit could be improved four times using the biotin-avidin conjugation probe. In conclusion, the biotin-avidin conjugation probe has its merits of easy synthesis, low price and could be further conjugated with other signal amplification techniques, which is promising to be used in the detection of protein microarray.
