Objective To investigate the advantages of DR images produced by tissue equalization(TE)technique in chest digital radiography(DR) compared with standard technique.Methods 100 images collected from DR chest images taken in our hospital in May,2003 were processed by TE technique and compare with standard DR images.Results The details in different thickness area of body could be revealed clearly in the same image produced by TE technique,while the display parameters should be adjusted repeatedly to reveal the details in standard chest digital radiography.Conclusion The visualization of image details can be obviously improved by using the TE technique and other details are not lossed.

The regulation mechanism of arecoline on rat hepatic CYP2E1 was studied in vivo. After oral administration of arecoline hydrobromide (AH; 4, 20 and 100 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) to rats for one week, the hepatic CYP2E1 mRNA level remained unchanged, but the hepatic CYP2E1 protein content was dose-dependently increased. Additionally, although the hepatic CYP2E1 activity was induced by AH treatment, the induction was attenuated with the increase in dosage. The results indicate that the effect of arecoline on rat hepaticdoes not involve transcriptional activation of the gene, but largely involves the stabilization of CYP2E1 protein against degradation or increased efficiency of CYP2E1 mRNA translation, and additionally involve the post- ranslational modification of CYP2E1 protein. Furthermore, the CYP2E1 response is fairly equal among the different species, the induction of rat hepatic CYP2E1 by arecoline suggests that there is a risk of metabolic interaction among the substrate drugs of CYP2E1 in betel-quid use human.

Objective To study the treatment effect of multilevel atherosclerotic occlusive disease of lower extremity. Methods From July 2004 to January 2008,intraoperative iliac balloon angioplasty and stenting combined with blood vassel prosthesis or autogenous reversed great saphenous vein bypass were performed on 32 patients suffering from lower extremity multilevel atheresclerotic occlusive disease. Results Surgical procedures were technically successful in all patients. The effect was good,intermittent claudication disappear, and rest pain improved. Preoperative vs postoperative ABI was 0.28±0.14 vs 0.65±0.18 (P<0.05 ).Thirty patients were followed up,the mean following period was 18 months (range of 3-36 months).Conclusions Simultaneous intravaseular interventional therapy combined with vascular bypass are effective in the treatment for patients with severe and multilevel atheroselerotie occlusive disease of lower extremity, the operation is less traumatic and the procedures are easy to do.The result is satisfactory.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of compensatory angiogenesis and the angiosome-based revascularization strategy for endovascular procedures in treating infrapopliteal critical limb ischemia in elderly diabetic patients.Methods A retrospective study of 194 patients with diabetic feet (Fontaine Ⅳ) who had undergone endovascular procedures at our hospital from January 2005 to December 2014 was performed.Based on the angiosome concept,all subjects were classified into the direct revascularization group (DR group),the indirect revascularization through collaterals group (IR-tc group) and the indirect revascularization without collaterals group (IR-wc group).After one-year follow-up,the therapeutic effects were analyzed and compared between the three groups.Results During the one-year follow-up,the rate of unhealed ulcers,the re-intervention rate and the rate of major adverse limb events (MALE) were higher in the IR-wc group than in the DR and IR-tc groups (P=0.000 and 0.000,P=0.025 and 0.013,P=0.014 and 0.023,respectively).The IR-wc group presented a lower limb salvage rate as compared with those in the DR and IR-tc groups (P=0.011 and 0.027).Patients with a single recanalized branch had a higher rate of unhealed ulcers than those with multiple recanalized branches in the IR-wc group (93.9% vs.71.0%,P=0.015).Conclusions The angiosome-based revascularization strategy has shown important value in guiding endovascular procedures for patients with diabetic foot disease and,in particular,the compensatory angiogenesis approach appears to be critical in generating favorable short-term clinical outcomes in the treatment of diabetic foot disease.

Taking the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology as an example, this paper expounds a series of practices of online education, in the process from pre-course training, platform selection, curriculum design, to student evaluation, etc. From that, we can provide a reference for carrying out online teaching in response to the epidemic for clinical medical colleges which have not been exposed to the online course. Furthermore, it is a new attempt to explore a way to make a change of the traditional teaching method and deepen the reform of clinical teaching in our hospital after the epidemic, not only in professional medical education, but also in the popularization of medical knowledge.

Objective:To investigate the distribution characteristics of bacteria in urine of patients with ureteral stent crusting.Methods:Thirty-five patients who underwent ureteral stent placement at the Shandong Provincial Third Hospital, Shandong University Qilu Hospital, Jinan Central Hospital, and Jinan Jigang Hospital were selected from October, 2018 to March, 2019(the clinical study registration number is ChiCTR1800020025). The inclusion criteria were patients who had the stent intubated for 4 weeks after ureteroscopic lithotripsy, aged between 18 and 65 years. Exclusion criteria were patients with positive urine bacterial culture, severe gross hematuria, recent oral antibiotics, and patients with significant residual stones. This clinical study uses a cross-sectional study method, and those patients were divided into crusting group (n=23) and non-crusting group (n=12) according to the presence or absence of stent crusting. On the day of extubation, urine of the patients was collected for bacterial 16s DNA detection. The distribution characteristics of bacteria in urine of the two groups were analyzed using UPARSE, UCHIME and RDP calssifier. The total number of bacteria species, bacterial abundance and bacterial species with large-scale abundance in urine of the two groups were determined. The quantity of bacteria species and bacterial abundance in the urine between the two groups were compared, and the bacterial species with large-scale abundance in urine of the patients with stent crusting were identified.Results:There were no significant differences in general information such as age, body mass index, gender, affected side, type of stent tube, and stone composition between the two groups. Using 16s DNA sequencing to detect the bacteria in the urine of the two groups revealed that the number of bacterial species with abundance >1% was 11, and the number of bacterial species with abundance >0.01% was 74 in the crusting group. In the non-crusting group, the number of bacterial species with abundance >1% and >0.01% was 7 and 11, respectively. Compared with the non-crusting group, the number of bacterial species with abundance >1% in the crusting group was significantly larger ( t=5.12, P=0.000). In the crusting group, bacterial species with the top three abundance were g_Lactobacillus (23.1%), g_Bacteroides (18.8%) and g_norank_Bacteroides (17.1%). In the non-crusting group, bacterial species with the top three abundance were g_Escherichia-Shigella (32.2%), g_Enterococcus (24.9%) and g_Pseudomonas (18.2%). The three bacteria with the greatest difference between the two groups were g_ Lactobacillus ( P=0.010), g_Bacteroides ( P=0.004) and g_norank_Bacteroides ( P=0.004), respectively. Conclusion:The species and quantity of bacteria in the urine of patients with stent crusting are both significantly larger than those of patients without stent crusting. Bacteroides with larger-scale abundance in the urine of patients with stent crusting may promote the deposition of crystals on the stent wall through its structure, function and urease positive characteristics.
