The results obtained by MTT showed that melagenine can stimulate melanoeyte proliferation, its promoting rate was 42.5%, while placenta peptide got a promoting rate of 5.9%, the difference was significant (P

Objective To study the difference in the measurement of the absorbed dose in water between the dosimetry protocols of IAEA TRS-398 and TRS-277 for high-energy electron beams.Methods The differences were compare in absorbed doses from 6 kinds of electron beams among the three methods of using cylindrical chamber,plane-parallel chamber and cross-calibrated plane-parallel chamber which was calibrated in user' s high-energy electron beam according to IAEA TRS-398 and IAEA TRS-277.Results The difference in absorbed doses measured,following the two protocols,was 0.4％-2.3％ for planeparallel chamber,0.6％-2.2％ for cylindrical chamber,and 0.5％-2.0％ for cross-calibrated chamber.The differences in measured absorbed doses between the two dosimetry protocols were slight.Conclusions The methods used to determine absorbed dose to water recommanded by IAEA TRS-398 for high-energy beams are more accurate and more suitable for clinical users to measure compared to the TRS-277.

Objective To study the abnormalities of noninvasive urodynamios in early diabetes eystopathy (DCP) and provide diagnosis evidences in its early stage. Methods According to the disease course (less or more than 1 year), 85 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were divided into new lydiagnosed diabetic group and non-newly diagnosed diabetic group. Thirty healthy cases were involved in normal control group. All of them were checked with the technology of noninvasive urodynamics to measure maximal flow rate, average flow rate, the volume leading to first bladder sensation and residual urine volume. Results As to the 32 newly diagnosed diabetic group, maximal flow rate was (18.4±6.9) ml/s, and average flow rate was (10.6 ± 5.3) ml/s, 18 cases were detected to have bladder residual urine, with the average residual urine volume of (13.2 ± 17.3) ml, and the DCP detection rate was 56.2%(18/32). As to the 53 non-newly diagnosed diabetic group, maximal flow rate was (14.7 ± 6.6) ml/s, and average flow rate was (9.5±4.7) ml/s,38 cases were detected to have bladder residual urine, with the average residual urine volume of (19.3 ± 18.4) ml, and the DCP detection rate was 71.7%(38/53). There was no residual urine detected in normal control group. Their maximal flow rate was (25.7 ± 5.9) ml/s, and average flow rate was (18.0 ± 4.9)ml/s. Compared with that in normal control group, maximal flow rate, average flow rote and residual urine volume decreased in both newly diagnosed diabetic group and non-newly diagnosed diabetic group(P< 0.01). As compared with that in newly diagnosed diabetic group, maximal flow rate in non-newly diagnosed diabetic group decreased obviously (P< 0.05). Conclusions The abnormalities of urodynamics may happen in the early stage of diabetes, and maximal flow rate may be as the most sensitive index. With the new technology of noninvasive urodynamies, we DCP can be diagnosed in early stage and evaluated the function of bladder dynamically.

Objective To investigate the influence of treatment table with C-arm and immobilization device in IMRT planning accuracy, and to explore methods to solve this problem.Methods The solid water slabs and the ionization chamber was scanned and images were transmitted to the treatment planning system (TPS).Beam parameters in the TPS were set with 6 MV beam and 100 MU exposures were used.Measurements were performed at two different sizes of 5 cm×5 cm and 10 cm×10 cm.The gantry was rotated through angles from 0° to 180° with measurements taken at 5° increments.The measure point was set at center of the ionization chamber' measure point, which was also the central point of planning.The center axis of Matrix was aligned with the center of couch and was irradiated in accordance with the same conditions.OmniPro-FmRT software was used to compare and analyze the dose distribution of the radiation field of measurement and the treatment planning system output.Using the function of add constant value to find the appropriate coefficient to improve the plan total dose.The dose distributions for each beam in IMRT plans which was increased or unincreased total dose were measured for 6 patients with pelvic tumor respectively.Results In radiation therapy, treatment couch and immobilization device may attenuate radiotherapy dose.The impact of the incident range from 65°-70° and 115°-125° were the largest.Increasing the total dose of the treatment plan by 2％ could compensate the attenuation of the treatment table and immobilization device.Conclusions In radiation therapy, the impact of the incident range from 65°-70°, 115°-125° and another side of 290°-295° and 230°-245° should be avoided.The attenuation should not be neglected in the TPS and dose should be compensated by adjusting beams' MU.

Objective To investigate the effects of nephroblastoma overexpressed (NOV) on proliferation,adhesion,migration and invasion of remal cell curcinomai (RCC) cells. Methods We constructed a NOV expression plasmid and transfected the plasmid into RCC cell line 786-O and analyzed the effects of NOV expression on proliferation,adhesion,migration and invasion of RCC cells by growth curve assay,WST-1 assay,cell adhesion assay,matrigel invasion assay and transwell migration assay. Results The stable NOV transfected 786-O cells (786-O-NOV) showed decreased growth rate,at 48 h and 72 h,the proliferation activities of 786-O-NOV cells were inhibited by 29.14％ and 32.46％ the proliferation activities of empty vector cells were inhibited by 9.25％ and - 8.16％,respectively,compared to 786-O cells (P ＜0.05); while the 786-O cells transfected with empty vector (786-O-mock) had no difference with 786-Ocells.Adhesion assay indicated significantly increased adhesion of 786-O-NOV cells to fibronectin (0.26 ±0.03) and laminin (0.28 ±0.04),compared to 786-O cells (0.15 ±0.01,0.12±0.10) and 786-O-mock cells (0.14 ±0.02,0.13 ± 0.08).Invasion assay displayed that the numbers of cells penetrated through matrigel membrane were significantly higher in 786-O-NOV cells (240.25 ± 23.12) compared to 786-O cells ( 56.16 ± 6.25 ) and 786-O-mock cells ( 50.28 ± 7.13 ).Migration assay displayed that the numbers of cells passed through polycarbonate filters were significantly higher in 786-O-NOV cells (267.25 ± 20.94) compared to 786-O cells ( 66.10 ± 5.68 ) and 786-O-mock cells ( 56.28 ± 4.11 ).Conclusion NOV exhibits anti-proliferative effects on RCC cells; however,it promotes adhesion,migration and invasion of RCC cells.

Objective To determine sonographic features and outcome of fetal lung abnormal lesions. Methods Blood supply of the lesion, fetus hydrops and other extra-lung anomalies should be evaluated by color Doppler flow image(CDFI) when abnormal lesion was detected in fetus lung during routine scanning. The fetus with lung abnormal lesion without hydrops at the first time scanning should be monitored by ultrasound in every four to six weeks. Results Forty cases fetus presented lung abnormal lesions, which included 21 cases with hyperechogenic solid masses,15 cases with cystic-solid mixture masses,4 cases with cystic masses. Lesions of 8 cases were demonstrated systemic arterial blood supply arising from the aorta on CDFI and the diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration (PS) were suggested. Seventeen cases lesion that had small size or decreased or disappeared or remained stable in size with gestational age developing had normal neonate. Conclusions CDFI is very useful in detecting abnormal lesion of the fetal lung and differentiating pathology and evaluating the prognosis. The outcome of isolated lung lesion without hydrops and mediastinal shift that decreased or disappeared or remained stable in size had a good prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the early detection of diabetic cystopathy(DCP)with the technology of noninvasive urodynamics.Methods 70 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM)and 30 normal control subjects were checked with the technology of noninvasive urodynamics.Based on their disease course of less or mole than 5 years.the DM patients were divided into two groups.Maximal flow rate,average flow rate,the volume leading to first bladder sensation and residual urine volume were measured by using noninvasive urodynamic technology.Results Among the 70 DM patients,34 were detected to have bladder residual urine,so the DCP detection rate was 48.6%.In the patients with DCP,the average residual urine volume Was 7-139 ml(30.1±27.1)ml,while there was no residual urine in the normal control group.As compared with the normal control group,maximal flow rate and average flow rate were decreased in all the patients with DM and those with DCP(P＜0.01).After follow up of the disease,the patients with a course of more than five years of disease control had even lower maximal flow rate and average flow rate.Conclusion Maximal flow rate decrease and bladder residual urine detected with the technology of noninvasive urodynamics may be widely used in early detection and early diagnosis of DCP.

After treatment for 3 months in the patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), plasma glucose, insulin and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were decreased both in rosiglitazone therapy group and in the group treated with rosiglitazone combined with body weight control.Those parameters in the latter group were decreased more significantly than those in the former.Rosiglitazone ameliorates the insulin resistance in patients with IGT, which is further improved when combined with body weight control.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of genotyping and gene polymorphism of Neisseria gonorrhoeae(N.go) with azithromycin(AZM)-resistance(AZM-R) and decreased susceptibility to ceftriaxone(CROD).Methods The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of AZM and CRO were determined.AZM-R isolates were detected for mutations in 23S rRNA,mtrR and penA genes.Genotypes were analyzed by using N.go multi-antigen sequence typing(NG-MAST).Results All total of 485 isolates of N.go were detected.77(15.9%) strains were AZM-R(MIC≥1 mg/L),including 33(6.8%) isolates of AZM low-level resistant(AZM-LLR,MIC=1 mg/L) strains and 44(9.1%) isolates of AZM middle-level resistant(AZM-MLR,MIC≥2 mg/L) strains.There were more CROD(MIC≥0.125 mg/L) strains in AZM-MLR isolates(43.2%),compared with those in AZM-LLR isolates(18.2%,P<0.05).The detected rates of 23S rRNA,mtrR,penA single or combined mutations were without significant differences between AZM-LLR isolates and AZM-MLR isolates(P>0.05).Similar results were found between combined AZM-LLR/CROD isolates and combined AZM-MLR/CROD isolates(P>0.05).No mutation of A2059G and AZM high-level resistant(AZM-HLR,MIC≥256 mg/L) isolate were found.Among 77 AZM-R isolates,67 sequence types(ST) were identified by NG-MAST,of which 30 types were novel.Most ST were represented by a single isolate.Conclusion AZM-R and CROD isolates,presented in this area,might be deserved continuous surveillance to identify the mechanism of concurrent resistance.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sufentanil on regeneration and repair after single sciatic nerve injury in mice. Methods Seventy?five healthy male BALB∕c mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weig?hing 18-22 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table: peripherial nerve injury group (group PNI), low, medium and high doses of sufentanil groups (L, M and H groups) and cyclosporine A group ( group C) . The model of unilateral sciatic nerve transection was established in the 5 groups. In L, M and H groups, sufentanil 2?5, 5?0 and 10?0 μg∕kg were injected intraperitoneally, re?spectively, once a day for 3 consecutive days. Cyclosporine A 50 mg∕kg was injected intraperitoneally once a day for 3 consecutive days in group C. The equal volume of normal saline was given once a day for 3 con?secutive days in group PNI. Neurophysiological monitoring was performed at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after opera?tion, the amplitude of compound muscle action potentials of the sciatic nerve was recorded, and the nerve conduction velocity was measured. At 8 weeks after operation, 5 mice were sacrificed, the sciatic nerve 0?5 cm of the upper and lower the anastomosed site was removed for examination of the morphology of myelin sheath with light microscope, and the number of nerve fibers was calculated. Results Compared with group PNI, the amplitude of compound muscle action potentials of the sciatic nerve, nerve conduction ve?locity and the number of nerve fibers was were significantly increased in M, H and C groups ( P<0?05) , and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group L ( P>0?05 ) . Myelin sheath arrangement was severely irregular, and more vacuoles were found in group PNI. Myelin sheath ar?rangement was irregular, and more vacuoles were found in group L. Myelin sheath arrangement was mainly regular, and vacuoles were found occasionally in group M. Myelin sheath arrangement was regular, and no vacuoles were observed in H and C groups. Conclusion Sufentanil can promote regeneration and repair af?ter peripheral nerve injury in mice.
