Objective To evaluate the effect of a biodegradable paclitaxel-eluting biliary stent on bile duct scar formation and biliary stricture by observing the healing process after stent placement in a porcine billiary model.Methods A novel biodegradable paclitaxel-eluting biliary polylactide stent was manufactured by immersion method.The efficacy of drug release for paclitaxel-eluting biliary stent was investigated by HPLC.Paclitaxel-eluting stent were surgically inserted in the bile duct of fifteen swines in experimental group while stent without paclitaxel were placed in other fifteen swines in control group.Animals were sacrificed after 1,3,6 months.The anastomic healing of the common bile duct was observed.The size of anastomosis was measured and compared between the two groups.Result A novel biodegradable paclitaxel-eluting biliary stent was manufactured.The total amount of paclitaxel released was about 281 pg (30.4％) over a month as determined with HPLC methods.There was no death,no leakage.The diameter of anastomosis in the experimental group was significantly larger than that in control group.Cholangiography did not show obvious bile duct dilatation in experimental group.Histologic examination showed less hyperplasia of the bile duct wall in the experimental group than that in control group.Conclusion Release of paclitaxel via a biodegradable stent relieves billiary stricture in porcine model and have no obvious negative influence on wound healing of the common bile duct.

Objective To investigate the possibility to obtain the cranial subtraction computed tomography perfusion imaging (sCTP) from the CTP examination, and to explore preliminary application value of sCTP. Methods Cerebral sCTP obtained from source imaging data of 11 patients (10 with stroke and 1 with brain tumor) were analyzed with subtraction software and perfusion 3 software at GE AW4.2 workstation. The parametric maps and region of interest (ROI) value of blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT) and/or permeability surface (PS) were generated from the CTP and sCTP imaging data respectively. Results ①The technical success rate of cranial sCTP created from CTP sources imaging data was 100%, and the post-processing time of sCTP was about from 1.0 to 2.5 h. The mappings and values of BF, BV, MTT and PS of ROI were all successfully obtained from sCTP and CTP imaging data. ②The cerebral mappings of BF, BV, MTT and PS obtained from sCTP were similar to those from CTP, which all depicted accurately the lesions and their microcirculation hemodynamics changes. ③Just like those from CTP, the values of BF, BV, MTT and PS of nidus obtained from sCTP were significantly different from those of the near and the contralateral corresponding cerebral tissues (P<0.025). Conclusion sCTP can be generated successfully with subtraction and perfusion imaging software. It is an alternative solution for functional diagnosis of stroke and brain neoplasms.

MAL gene expresses in the mediate and late stage of T-lymphocyte,correlated with carcinoma.Hereditary factors and epigenetic mechanisms play important roles in the pathogenesis of colorectal carcinoma.One of the main epigenetic modifications to be identified is methylation of DNA.the hypermethylation and abnormal expressions of MAL gene play a key role in the development,invasion,metastasis and prognosis of colorectai carcinoma.Therefore MAL gene may be another promising early diagnostic marker,which provide new evidence for early stage prediction,classification,prognosis,chemoprevention of colorectal carcinoma.

Three hundred and thirty eight patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus( DM) admitted from January 2006 to June 2009 and 50 healthy subjects (control group) were enrolled in the study. Platelet glycoprotein PAC-1 and CD62P levels were measured in both groups. Compared with control group, plasma PAC-1 and CD62P levels of DM patients increased significantly (P ＜0.01). Patients were divided into three groups according to their urinary albumin excretion rate ( UAER) . PAC-1 and CD62P levels in macroalbuminuria group (UAER≥200μg/min) were significantly higher than those in normoalbuminuria group( UAER <20μg/min) and microalbuminuria group (20μg/min≤UAER ＜ 200μg/min) (both P＜ 0.05). The results indicate that plasma levels of PAC-1 and CD62P, which reflect platelet activation, are the independent risk factors for diabetic nephropathy.

Dact proteins belong to a structure-related protein family. Recent studies have demonstrated that Dact proteins play an important role in tumorigenesis via modulation of wnt and TGF-p signaling. Delin-eation of the physiological function of Dact proteins would enhance our understanding of look for new strategy targets for cancer and suggests a potential strategy for therapeutic control of wnt and TGF-β signaling in canc-er.
