AIM: To investigate the effect of different types of flavonoids, galangin (flavonol), hesperetin (flavonone) and hydroxysafflor yellow A (HYSA, chalcone), on cardiomyocytic injury induced by H2O2, and explore the possible signal pathways involved. METHODS: The cytotoxicity of different flavonoids was determined by MTT assay. Apoptosis rate was determined by flow cytometry (FCM) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). Immunohistochemistry was used for detection of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 protein. RESULTS: It showed that each flavonoid did not have noticeable cytotoxicity at a concentration of 5 ?mol/L by MTT assay. Flavonoids at concentrations of 5, 15 and 30 ?mol/L significantly increased cell viability compared to model group induced by H2O2 (100 ?mol/L). Flavonoids also increased apoptosis rate and neorobiosis rate determined by FCM compared to model group. Galangin and hesperetin significantly decreased the apoptotic rate determined by TUNEL and the expression of Caspase-3 and increased the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax (P

Anthracyclines, which include doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin, and aclarubicin, are widely used chemotherapeu-tic agents for treating hematologic and solid tumors, such as acute leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, gastric cancer, soft tissue sarco-mas, and ovarian cancer. Anthracyclines can be combined with other chemotherapeutics and molecular targeted drugs for cancer treat-ment. The combination of anthracyclines with other chemotherapeutic drugs is usually the standard of first-line treatment. Anthracy-clines are efficacious and potent agents with broad antitumor effects. However, these drugs may cause adverse reactions, such as hair loss, myelotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity. Hematopoietic stimulating factors, such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, erythropoietin, and thrombopoietin, can be used to control myelotoxicity. However, cardiotoxicity is the most serious anthracycline side effect. Clinical study results and practical observations indicate that the anthracycline cardiotoxicity is usually progressive and irreversible, especially after the first use of the drug, which may particularly cause heart damage. Therefore, the early detection and prevention of anthracy-cline-induced cardiotoxicity are important and have already gained considerable attention in clinical applications. Relevant experts from the China Society of Clinical Oncology and Hematology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association prepared the guidelines for the pre-vention and cure of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in 2013. The authors reviewed the effective drugs currently used to prevent and cure anthracycline cardiotoxicity.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of the Monte Carlo software in measuring the radiation dose to the patients who received the CCTA (Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography) examination.Methods A anthropomorphic chest phantom underwent CCTA using three scan parameters (tube voltage 80 kV,100 kV and 120 kV).Computer Software ImpactDose 2.0 was used to compute the chest organ dose on the basis of the three groups tube voltage CT scan characteristic,and the stimulation results of ImpactDose 2.0 software was verified by use of anthropomorphic phantom thermoluminescence dosimeter experiment method.Results For all the measured organs except for lung,the absorbed organ dose and effective dose of three groups of tube voltages of CCTA measured by the InpactDose 2.0 was lower than those as measured by anthropomorphic phantom study.The relative error of both methods was within ± 50％.Conclusions Monte Carlo software can be used to estimate the levels of radiation dose during CCTA examination with a tolerable error within the acceptable range.

The characteristics of ductal adenocarcinoma of colon under eieciror: microscopy were stout and dense microvill, with small roots buried in the top of cytoplasm. The ullrarnorphological changes of carcinomatous infiltration was similar to the picture observed in vitro cultivation of cancer cells.In 104 cases out of 159, there was an over expression of ras oncogenes P21, indicating that carcinoma of colon was related to activation of ras oncogenes. Examination with monoclonal antibodies yielded a positive rate of 83.4%- 95.7%, indicating that most of the carcinomas had colon related antigens. This phenomenon should play an important role in raising the diagnostic accuracy, and it also should serve as an indicator of effective treatment. In 62 cases of mucoid adenocarcinoma and 30 cases of signet ring cell carcinoma, there was a marked reduction of mueoitin sulfate with an increase in sialic acid mucus. The letter was a glycoprotein containing hydroxyl mucus, and it facilitated the separation of cancer cells to infiltrate and metastasize.in 134 cases, AgNOR was quantified, and there were 13.05? 1.48 granules in each mucleas. There was more abundant AgNOR in undifferentiated cancer, while the number of AgNOR fluctuated between 10.56 to 11.83 in papillary adenocarcinoma, ductal adenocarcinoma, and mucoid adenocarcinoma. indicating the qunantity of AgNOR was related to degree of malignancy in colonic carcinoma.

Objective To study the influence of various doses and injection rates of contrast agent on CT perfusion in rabbits' liver with a deconvolution mathematical model. Methods Eight rabbits were enrolled in the experiment. Randomized block design was adopted. The treatment factor (contrast medium injection rate) was classified into 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 ml/s, while the subjects were divided into 3 blocks with contrast medium injection dose of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 ml/kg. The data obtained at CT perfusion imaging were then transferred to the workstation. Absolute values of 7 perfusion parameters (hepatic arterior fraction, blood flow, blood volume, permeability surface, mean transmit time, hepatic artery perfusion and portal vein perfusion) were measured with perfusion software (Perfusion 3). Results The dose of contrast medium had significant effect on peak enhancement of the aorta, the portal vein and liver tissue (P<0.05), whereas the injection rates had significant influence on the arrival time to peak enhancement of the aorta and the portal vein. However, the dose of contrast medium and injection rates had no significant effect on perfusion parameters (P>0.05). Conclusion CT perfusion imaging with a deconvolution mathematical model can quantify the hemodynamic functional status in liver with stable results. This technique does not need strict confinement to dose and injection rate of contrast medium, and has great potential value to be put into clinical use.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the technical feasibility of animal model of avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH)with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE).MethodsTwenty experimental pigs were randomly divided into experimental group and control group (each n= 10).Experimental group:A 5F Cobra catheter was inserted into left femoral artery,and the feeding arteries of femoral head were superselectively inserted.The feeding arteries were embolismed through transcatheter arterial injecting the segments of silk measuring about 500μm.Control group:The arterial embolization was not performed,and the other treatment was identical to experimental group.The articulation of hip in all pigs underwent plain X-ray examination,CT and MR scanning 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment,respectively.Histological examination was made in 4 weeks to evaluate volume of bone trabecula (TBV) and percentage of bone lacuna (PBL) at unit area under microscope.The data were compared between the two groups.Results In experimental group,CT and MRI showed swolling in hip soft tissue and high T1 in hip joint cavity,while no obvious abnormalities were found in plain X-ray film 2 weeks after feeding arteries were embolized.Four weeks after feeding arteries embolization,plain X-ray film,CT and MR showed typical necrosis of femoral head in the experimental group,while no obvious abnormalities were found in control group.The histology examination revealed there were obvious karyopyknosis and anachromasis in the bone cells.The quantity of bone cells decreased obviously or disappeared.PBL increased and TBV decreased significantly compared with those of control group (P＜0.05).ConclusionThe animal model of ANFH in pigs can be induced by TAE.It can preferably mimic the pathological situation of ANFH.
