Objective:To explore the quality on 64-slice CT coronary angiography with different injection rates of contrast agent.Methods: 120 patients who have been diagnosed or suspected coronary atherosclerosis were selected in our hospital and were randomly divided into group A(4.5ml/s), group B(5.0ml/s) and group C(5.5ml/s), with 40 cases in each group. We observed CT attenuation values, image quality, and adverse reactions of the three groups.Results: There were significant differences in the ascending aorta, descending aorta, left main, left anterior descending artery, circumflex artery and the right coronary artery and other parts of the CT attenuation value (F=6.838,F=4.002,F=7.261,F=5.992,F=8.281,F=5.790,F=6.126;P<0.05). In image quality, the group B with 34 cases was significantly better than group A with 12 cases and group C with 20 cases (x2=9.632,x2=5.475;P<0.05). The rate of adverse reactions was 30%, 7.5% and 22.5% with 12 cases in group A, 3 cases in group B and 9 cases in group C. The rate in group B was significantly lower than in group A and group C (x2=12.985,x2=10.236;P<0.05).Conclusion: Through the application of the same concentration of the contrast agent and scan conditions to coronary angiography, we can get a good vascular enhancement and high quality imaging when the injection rate of contrast medium is 5ml/s, while incidence of adverse reactions may be reduced.

Objective To investigate the effect of different methods of intestinal preparation on intestinal cleaning for elderly gynecological patients undergoing surgery. Methods Sixty-four elderly patients undergoing gynecological surgery were divided into two groups according to admission seguence. The control group was treated with enema using 800~1000 mL 0.2%soapy water, while the experiment group was treated with enema using sodium phosphate salt oral solution mixed with 800 ~ 1000 mL 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The intestinal cleanness and enema times of the two groups were observed. Results The effect of intestinal cleanliness in the experiment group was better than that in the control group. There was significant differences between the two groups. (P<0.01). Conclusions For the elderly patients undergoing gynecological surgery, sodium phosphate salt oral solution can not only reduce the frequency of enema but also achieve the purpose of cleaning intestinal tract, to ensure the operation effect. It is the ideal method for cleaning bowels of the elderly patients in preoperative prepartion of the surgery.

Objective To explore the role of CD73 in Toxoplasma gondii (T. Gondii) infection; To verify the host cells absent with CD73 would have less infection and replication of T. Gondii. Methods CD73 knockout and wild-type mice were infected with 20 cysts of ME 49 by oral gavage. The survival rate, clinic symptoms, pathology in the gut, and cytokine production were investigated in infected mice. Macrophages and dendritic cells with CD73-/- and CD73+/+ were infected with RH-YFP. The infective rates, the number of intracellular RH-YFP in the host cells, and the replication of intracellular RH-YFP were detected in these two type cells. Results CD73 knockout mice had a higher survival rate and milder clinic presentation with less morphologies in the gut in the acute T. Gondii infection compared with wild-type mice. CD73-/- macrophages and dentritic cells had less T. Gondii infection, and less intracellular parasite number and replication compared with CD73+/+ macrophages and dentritic cells in vitro. Conclusions CD73 as a GPI-anchored surface protein of host cell might be involved in forming the parasite vacuole, and promote the parasite's attachment and invasion of host eeUs. Host cells absence with CD73 would be less infection and replication of T. Gondii, and relative resistant parasites infection.
