Objective To assess the value of imaging examination technologies such as 2-D ultrasound(2-DUS),helical computed tomography (CT),contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) in the positioning and qualitative diagnosis of pancreatic diseases.Methods 2-DUS,helical CT findings were comparatively reviewed to analyze in 44 cases(45 lesions) with pancreatic space-occupying lesions verified by operation and pathology,and investigated the enhanced mode and the perfusion features of CEUS and CECT in different phases.Results In 45 lesions,there were 29 malignant lesions and 16 benign lesions.CEUS and CECT had greater diagnostic value compared to 2-DUS and helical CT.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of 2-DUS for the malignant lesions were 72.41 ％,62.50％ and 66.67 ％,while the helical CT were 68.97％,75.00 ％ and 68.89 ％.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of CEUS for the malignant lesions were 93.10％,87.50％ and 91.11％,while the CECT were 86.21％,93.75％ and 86.67％.There was no statistical difference between CEUS and CECT in detecting pancreatic space-occupying lesions.Conclusions CEUS and CECT can provide more accurate diagnosis on for pancreatic space-occupying lesions than 2-DUS and helical CT.Following CECT,CEUS is a new technology for diagnosis on pancreatic space-occupying lesions.

objective To assess relationship between microvascular changes of hemodynamics of the fingertip and evolution of hypertension in patients with essential hypertension(EH)by enhanced power Doppler imaging(E-Flow).Methods The right ring fingertip'S blood flow peak systolic velocity(PSV),end-diastolic velocity(EDV),resistance index(RI)of finger ventral arteriole and nail bed arteriole in thirty-nine patients with EH were separately observed and were made contrast with 35 age-matched healthy subjects by E-Flow imaging.Results Compared with traditional colour Doppler flow imaging and power Doppler imaging,E-Flow imaging was clearer to demonstrate the distribution and movement of the fingertip'S microvascular.It was shown that the PSV and EDV in the ring finger ventral arteriole and nail bed arteriole of EH were decreased(P＜0.05),but the RI increased(P＜0.05),along with the evolution of EH.Conclusions Fingertip'S microvascular changes of hemodynamics could be a criterion to detect obstruction alternations of essential hypertension.E-Flow imaging iS superior to traditional color Doppler flow imaging and power Doppler imaging in differentiating microvascular and could provide a new method in assessing microvacular changes of patients with EH for clinic.

Objective To provide the evidence for the clinical prevention and early treatment for the complication by testing microcirculation of the middle fingertip in renal failure patients with hemodialysis.Methods High-frequency ultrasounds combined with E-flow technique were applied to detect the Doppler velocitg index of middle fingertip's nail bed arteriole and ventral arteriole in 35 renal failure patients with hemodialysis.Peak systolic velocity(PSV),end-diastolic velocity(EDV)and vascular resistance index(RI)were separately measured,and comparison were made with healthy adults and renal failure patients without hemodialysis(sex and age matched).Results Compared with normal control,PSV and EDV of middle fingertip's nail bed arteriole and ventral arteriole were degraded statistically(P＜0.05),while RI was increased statistically(P＜0.05)in renal failure patients with and without hemodialysis.Compared with renal failure patients without hemodialysis,PSV and EDV were degraded(P＜0.05)and RI was increased(P＜0.05)in renal failure patients with hemodialysis.Conclusions High-frequency ultrasound combined with E-flow imaging technique can evaluate the microvascular peripheral resistance in renal failure patients with hemodialysis.

Objective To observe the effects of resveratrol on blood pressure and cardiac function in the rats with vascular calcification induced by vitamin D3 plus nicotine.Methods 32 male SD rats were randomly divided into the following groups for treatment:Control (Con), calcified (Cal), Cal+Res low dose [L] and Cal+Res high dose [H] groups.Blood pressure, cardiac function, alkaline phosphatase ( ALP ) activity in serum or aorta were detected and HE staining was used for pathological examination at 6 weeks after treatment.Results Compared with the Con group, LVW/BW, heart rate, systolic aortic pressure, pulse pressure, mean blood pressure, left ventricular systolic pressure and ALP activity in serum or aorta of rats in the Cal group were increased by 27.3%, 8.8%, 22.8%, 47.5%, 13.6%, 19.0%, 280%and 265%( P<0.05 or P<0.01) , respectively.Compared with the Cal group, pulse pressure and ALP activity in serum or aorta of rats in the Cal+Res [L] group were decreased by 8.5%, 34.5%and 29.5%(P<0.05 or P<0.01), respectively, and LVW/BW, systolic aortic pressure, pulse pressure, mean blood pressure, left ventricular systolic pressure and ALP activity in serum or aorta of rats in the Cal +Res [ H] group were decreased by 14.2%, 13.6%, 23.7%,10.0%, 9.0%, 53.1%and 45.9%(P<0.05 or P<0.01), respectively.Compared with the Cal+Res [L] group, systolic aortic pressure, pulse pressure, left ventricular systolic pressure and ALP activity in serum or aorta of rats in the Cal+Res [H] group were decreased by 8.3%, 16.7%, 5.8%, 28.4% and 23.2% (P<0.05 or P<0.01), respectively.Compared with the aorta in the Con group, pathological examination revealed thickened vessel walls and disordered elastic fibers in the calcified aortas.However, the thickness of aortic wall in the Cal+Res [ L] and Cal+Res [ H] groups was reduced and elastic fibers were regularly arranged.Conclusion Resveratrol can effectively reduce the blood pressure and improve the cardiac function in rats with vascular calcification.

Objective To observe the ultrastructure of pancreas in the bustard( Otis tarda limaells) . Methods Three bustard's pancreas were observed with electron microscope. Results The exocrine secretory units of bustard's pancreas contain a lobulated tubulo acinar gland in which the lobulation is not so distinct as that of the mammalian gland due to the lack of interlobular connective tissue septa.The space between lobular pancreas is lined directly with pancreatic cells as the duct.Single long spindle shaped connective tissue cell could only be seen among three lobules and its cytoplasm becomes slender and stretches into the space between lobules as a distinct intermediate dense line.The exocrine secretory cells can be divided into two kinds of dark and light.In the light cell,particularly in swelled up rER with very little density are filled the greater part of the cytoplasm and made the cell appearance much lighter than other cells.\;The endocrine cells are divided into two types that are dispersed in pancreatic singly and clustered into pancreatic islets.The dispersed endocrine cells contain a lot of moderate dark electron dense granules in their process near basement membrane.There are two types of islets——A islet and B islet in the bustard pancreas.A islets comprise only one cell type with moderate electron density that contains dark endocrine granules.B islet contains two cell types:B and D cell.B cells are the most numerous cells with a long ovoid nucleus and contains two or three types of granules in the cytoplasm.D cells are relatively rare and can be seen in the periphery nearby basement membrane.Cells keep close to each other and desmosomes can be seen within the islet.The endocrine cells closely contact exocrine cells without basement membrane in the periphery partly.Conclusion\ These are some structural characteristics that adapt to fly and that are different from other animal in bustard's pancreas.

Objective To investigate the effects of insulin-like growth factor-1（IGF-1）on the cell proliferation of human non-small-cell lung cancer（NSCLC） and the possible molecular mechanism.Methods MTT assay was used to examine the effects of IGF-1 （0.1,1,10,100 ng/mL）on the cell proliferation of NSCLC cell lines（A549,LK2,H460）,Flow cytometry（FCM）and Western blot to ana-lyze the cell cycles and the protein expression of S-Phase Kinase-Associated Proteins 2（Skp2）and CDC20 homolog 1（CDH1）,respectively.Results The cell proliferation of NSCLC cell lines（A549,LK2,H460）could be promoted by the IGF-1 at different concentrations and the proliferation rate peaked when the cells were treated with 1 ng/mL IGF-1.Compared with control,the percentage of the S-phase cell population was significantly increased after the treatment of IGF-I（P 〈 0.01）and the protein expression of SKP2 also increased obviously（P 〈0.05）.However,there was no change in the CDH1 protein expression（P 〉 0.05）.Conclusion IGF-1 may accelerate the cell-cycle pro-gression of NSCLC cells by negatively modulating p27 protein via the up-regulation of SKP2 protein expression.
