Objective: To observe effect of combination of TCM-WM with high colonic lavement for delaying renal failure. Methods: 98 cases of renal failure at compensatory phase were randomly divided into a treatment group treated with high colonic lavement, twice each week. 2 hours each time, and a control group treated with oral administration of coated aldehyde oxystarch,10g each time, thrice each day, 3 months constituting one course. Results: After lavenment. symptoms were improved, deceaseing velosity of the clearance rate of endogenous creatinine in blood and urine slowed lowered, renal survival rate of kidney increased, and the interval of dialasis and other replacement therapy obviously postponed in the treatment group as compared with that before treatment and the control group. Conclusion: The high colonic lavement has obvious therapeutiv effect in delaying renal failure velosity with a smaller stimulation to the stomach and smal intestine. It is an effective way for conservation treatment of renal failure.

Objective To study and compare the clinical and MR imaging characteristics of common intracranial ring enhanced lesions.Methods MR imaging studies of 65 intracranial ring enhanced lesions were reviewed retrospectively. The lesions included 17 glioblastomas, 17 metastasises, 12 brain abscesses, 8 acoustic neurinomas, 7 craniopharyngiomas, 3 neurocysticercosises, 1 malignant lymphoma. All cases were confirmed by surgery and pathology. Results The ring enhancement of tumors presented heterogenous thickness of thick walls and irregular forms. Among them, the highly malignant tumors appeared very obviously heterogeneous thickness of the walls, especially the inner walls were uneven and coarse. While the ring enhancement of the non-tumor lesions usually were of homogeneous thickness of the walls, regular shapes and smooth inner walls. Conclusion The different patterns of intracranial ring enhanced lesions on MR can supply important diagnostic information. Combining the patients' history, age, location and the information of magnetic resonance imaging, we may make correct diagnosis.

Objective To determine the added clinical applications of MR virtual endoscopy (MRVE) plus MRCP in cholangiopancreatography. Methods In 14 month, 44 patients with obstructive jaundice and symptomatic bile trace were assessed by MRVE in biliary tract.The 2D data of heavily T 2 weighted images with FSE(non breath hold, respiratory trigger) and SSFSE(breath hold, multi slice single shot fast spin echo) sequence were transferred to the computer workstation. Navigator software (GEMS) was used to display intraluminal views of the pancreaticobiliary tract with a surface rendering technique. Results Patients suffered from neoplasm ( n =18), bile stone (17), postoperative complications of cholecystectomy( n =3), and other disease of biliary tract( n =6). MRVE could clearly demonstrate the anatomical structures in biliary tract, extended pancreas tract,biliary meatus narrowing and obstruction, bile duct stones, duct branches, and the inner wall of pathological obstruction.The main limitation of virtual endoscopy was inability to evaluate mucosa and lack of histological diagnosis. Sensitivity for detection of bile duct dilatation and site of obstruction was: 2D FSE 91 7%, and SSFSE 97 9%. Conclusion MRVE provided noninvasively endoscope like display of biliary tract.Its display ability was a supplement to image biliary trace. MRVE effect of multi slice SSFSE sequence was better than that of fast spin echo.

Objective To undergo T 2 *-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging after dynamic contrast-enhanced T 1-weighted imaging at the same examination in patients with breast neoplasm, and to evaluate if T 2 *-weighted imaging can provide additional diagnostic information to that obtained with T 1-weighted imaging. Methods Twenty-nine patients with breast lesions verified by pathology(benign 12, malignant 17)underwent MR imaging with dynamic contrast-enhanced T 1-weighted imaging of the entire breasts, then followed immediately with six-sections, T 2 *-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging of the lesions.The diagnostic indices were got by the 3 D T 1-weighted enhancement rate criterion and T 2 * signal intensity loss rate criterion individually.The sensitivity and specificity were calculated and the two methods were compared.Results With the dynamic contrast-enhanced T 1-weighted imaging, there was a significant differences between the benign and malignant breast lesions (t=2.563,P=0.016), but a considerable overlap of the signal intensity increase between the carcinomas and benign lesions was found, with a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 25%.With T 2 *-weighted first-pass perfusion imaging, there was a very significant differences between the benign and malignant breast lesions (t=4.777,P

We wished to study the intracellular transport of adenoviruses. We constructed a novel recombinant adenovirus in which the structural protein IX was labeled with a mini-singlet oxygen generator (miniSOG). The miniSOG gene was synthesized by overlapping extension polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloned to the pcDNA3 vector, and expressed in 293 cells. Activation of miniSOG generated sufficient numbers of singlet oxygen molecules to catalyze polymerization of diaminobenzidine into an osmiophilic reaction product resolvable by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). To construct miniSOG-labelled recombinant adenoviruses, the miniSOG gene was subcloned downstream of the IX gene in a pShuttle plasmid. Adenoviral plasmid pAd5-IXSOG was generated by homologous recombination of the modified shuttle plasmid (pShuttle-IXSOG) with the backbone plasmid (pAdeasy-1) in the BJ5183 strain of Eschericia coli. Adenovirus HAdV-5-IXSOG was rescued by transfection of 293 cells with the linearized pAd5-IXSOG. After propagation, virions were purified using the CsC1 ultracentrifugation method. Finally, HAdV-5-IXSOG in 2.0 mL with a particle titer of 6 x 1011 vp/mL was obtained. Morphology of HAdV-5-IXSOG was verified by TEM. Fusion of IX with the miniSOG gene was confirmed by PCR. In conclusion, miniSOG-labeled recombinant adenoviruses were constructed, which could be valuable tools for virus tracking by TEM.

Human adenovirus type 41 (HAdV-41) is considered to be a "fastidious adenovirus". E1-deleted HAdV-41 cannot be rescued or amplified in 293 cells. To propagate recombinant HAdV-41 in 293 cells, the backbone plasmid pAdbone41 was reconstructed. That is, the E3 coding sequence of HAdV-41 was deleted and replaced with the HAdV-5 E4orf6 gene; and the E1A enhancer of HAdV-5 was inserted upstream of the E4 promoter of HAdV-41. Novel adenoviral plasmid pAd41E4EE-GFP was generated by homologous recombination of the shuttle plasmid pSh41-GFP with the modified backbone plasmid in the Escherichia coli BJ5183 strain. Adenovirus HAdV-41-E4EE-GFP was rescued by transfecting 293 cells with linearized pAd41E4EE-GFP. After seven rounds of propagation, viruses were purified by the CsCl ultracentrifugation method. HAdV-41-E4EE-GFP in 1.0 ml with a particle titer of 8 x 10(10) vp/mL was obtained which had a particle-to-infectious ratio of 50 : 1. The genome of HAdV-41-E4EE-GFP was confirmed by restriction analyses and polymerase chain reaction. These results showed that a novel HAdV-41 vector system was established in which recombinant HAdV-41 could be constructed and packaged in 293 cells.
