Objective To find an efficient and practical reconstruction algorithm for the fluorescence molecular tomography basing on total leastsquares rule as well as the normalized conjugate gradient method.Methods The finite element method was used to get the weighting matrix from the forward diffusion model.For the inverse reconstruction problem,the total least-squares rule was employed.The normalized conjugate gradient method was applied to find the fluorochrome information in the objective area.Results The simulation experiments showed that images reconstructed by the total least-squares rule were more accurate than those reconstructed by the least-squares rule under the same circumstances when noise existed.The presented algorithm could also give consistent results when the initial guesses varied in a wide range.Conclusion The algorithm presented in this paper offers a practical and efficient reconstruction for the fluorescence molecular tomography.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of murine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BM-MSCs)transplantation on B-cell activating factor(BAFF)expression and B cell activation of MRL/Ipr mice.Methods Eighteen female MRL/Ipr mice were divided into the treatment group and the control group.Five female BAL B/C mice were used as negative controls.At the age of 18 weeks,the treatment group was transplanted with 1×10~6 murine BM-MSCs through vena caudalis,the control group was treated with 0.5ml sodium chloride.Enzyme linked immunoserbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure the level of the BAFF,IFN-γ,IL-2 and IL-10 in the serum.The percentage and numbers of Marginal zone,T1 and T2 B cells in spleen were detected by flow cytometry.Results①Eight weeks after transplantation,the level of BAFF [(32±14)ng/ml]in serum of the treatment group decreased significantly than the control group[(47±13)ng/ml](P＜0.05)as well as the level of serum IL- 10,IFN-γ and IL-2 levels[(19±7)vs(40±13)pg/ml](P＜0.01)[(25±20)pg/ml vs(38±25)pg/ml][(73±10)pg/ml vs(80±15)pg/ml].② Eight weeks after trans-plantation,the mice in the treatment group had lower percentages of marginal zone B cells[(15±4)% vs (21±5)%],and the numbers of marginal zone B cells were significantly decreased in the treatment group as compared with the control group[(9±6)×10~6 vs(19±10)×10~6,P＜0.05].③ Eight weeks after transplantation,the mice in the treatment group had lower percentages of T1 and T2 B cells[(3.4±2.1)% vs(7.3±4.0)%][(2.6+1.4)%vs(4.8±2.7)%],and the numbers of T1[(2.7±1.7)×10~6 vs(5.1±2.0)×10~6,P＜0.05]and T2 B cells[(2.0±1.2)×10~6 vs(3.7±1.7)×10~6,P＜0.05]were both significantly decreased in the treatment group as compared with the control group.Conclusion BM-MSCs transplantation decreases the expression of BAFF in association with the diminished production of the pathogenic cytokines IFN-γ and IL-10.Inhibition of BAFF also results in decreased numbers of T1 and T2 B cells and MZ B cells.

Objective To measure the expression of protein kinase D1 (PKD1),tyr463-phosphorylaed PKD1 (pPKD1-tyr463) and ser916-phos-phorylaed PKD1 (pPKD1-ser916) in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC),Bowen's disease (BD) and actinic keratosis (AK),and to explore their significance.Methods Fresh tissue samples were resected from lesions of patients with SCC (SCC group),BD (BD group) and AK (AK group),as well as from normal skin of healthy human controls (control group),and each group had a sample size of 10.Real-time RT-PCR was performed to measure the mRNA expression of protein kinase D1 gene (PRKD1),and Western blot analysis to determine the protein expression of PKD1,pPKD1-tyr463 and pPKD1-ser916.In addition,immunohistochemical study was conducted to determine the expression of PKD1,pPKD1-tyr463 and pPKD1-ser916 in another 50 paraffin-embedded skin samples of SCC,20 samples of BD,20 samples of AK and 10 normal skin samples.Results PRKD1 mRNA expression significantly differed among the control group (0.64 ± 0.09),SCC group (5.37 ± 1.06),BD group (2.69 ± 0.72) and AK group (2.43 ± 0.46) (F =21.37,P ＜ 0.05),and was significantly higher in the SCC,BD and AK groups than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05),as well as in the SCC group than that in the AK and BD groups (both P ＜ 0.05).However,no significant difference in the PRKD1 mRNA expression was observed between the BD group and AK group (P ＞ 0.05).Immunohistochemical study showed that the total PKD1 protein and pPKD1-tyr463 in the SCC and BD groups were mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and cell membrane of spinous layer cells and atypical cells,and their expression rates were significantly higher than those in the AK group and control group (all P ＜ 0.01).The pPKD1-ser916 was only slightly expressed in some cancer nests of well-differentiated SCC tissues,but not in poorly-differentiated SCC,AK,BD tissues and normal skin tissues.In the SCC group,the expression rate of PKD1 increased with the increase of the pathological grade of SCC,and the PKD1 expression was positively correlated with pPKD1-tyr463 expression (rcc =0.479,P ＜ 0.05).Western blot results were consistent with immunohistochemical findings.Conclusion PKD1 and pPKD1-tyr463 may be involved in the development and differentiation of skin tumors derived from stratified squamous epithelium,and PKD1 may exert promotive effects on the formation of cutaneous SCC by activating the Tyr463 phosphorylation site.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the effect of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism on lansoprazole pharmacoki-netics,and provide evidence-based reference for clinical individualized medication of lansoprazole. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,EMBase,Web of science,Cochrane Library and CJFD,retrospective studies about the effect of CYP2C19 genetic poly-morphism on lansoprazole pharmacokinetics were collected,Meta-analysis was performed by Rev Man 5.2 software after data ex-tract and quality evaluation. RESULTS:Totally 11 retrospective studies were included,involving 200 patients. The gene type in-cluded homozygote express metabolizers (EM),heterozygous express metabolizers (HEM) and slow metabolizers (PM). Results of Meta-analysis showed CYP2C19 polymorphism significantly affected cmax,AUC,t1/2,tmax and CL/F. The cmax and AUC in group PM were higher than group HEM and group EM;CL/F in group EM was higher than group HEM and group PM;t1/2 in group PM was higher than group HEM and group EM,while there was no significant difference in the t1/2 between group HEM and group EM;tmax in HEM and group PM were higher than group EM,while there was no significant difference in the tmax between group PM and group HEM. CONCLUSIONS:CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism shows obvious effect on lansoprazole pharmacokinetics, which is the key factor for causing efficacy of lansoprazole and individual differences among adverse reactions,and clinic should take into account individualized dose regimen of lansoprazole.

Objective To investigate the effect of sufentanil postconditioning on acute lung in-jury induced by ischemia-reperfusion of uterine in rats.Methods Fourty-five adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n = 1 5 each):control group (group C),ischemia-reperfusion group (group IR)and sufentanil postconditioning group(group SPC).Group SPC received sufentanil 10 μg/kg via intraperitoneal injection before inducing reperfusion of uterine.Ischemia-reper-fusion of uterine was produced by occlusion of bilateral uterine arteries for 45 min followed by reper-fusion for 2 h in group IR and group SPC.Then the content of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),mal-odiadehyde (MDA)and superoxide dismutase (SOD)activity were measured in uterus,serum and lung tissue,lung wet to dry weight ratio (W/D),lung permeability index (LPI)were compared. Results Compared with group C,TNF-α,MDA content,W/D and LPI in uterus,serum and lung tissue were significantly increased in group IR and group SPC(P <0.05).TNF-α,MDA content,W/D and LPI in uterus,serum and lung tissue were significantly attenuated in group SPC as compared with group IR (P <0.05 ).Compared with group C,SOD activity in uterus,serum and lung tissue was significantly attenuated in group IR and group SPC (P <0.05).SOD in uterus,serum and lung tissue were significantly increased in group SPC as compared with group IR (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Sufentanil postconditioning attenuates pulmonary injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion of uterine in rats by inhibiting the inflammatory reaction and suppressing the activation of oxyradical.
