Objective To compare the ability of CT and MRI in evaluating the residual of tumor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its stability after treated by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with Lipiodol.Methods 28 patients with HCC underwent CT, MRI and angiography within 2～6 months after 1～4 procedure(s) of TACE. These three examinations were completed sequentially within one month. CT and MRI findings were thus compared on the basis of the results of arteriography and clinical follow-up at least 6 months.Results 46 lesions were found in 28 patients. 31 lesions with and the other 15 lesions without residual viable tumor were confirmed by arteriography and clinical follow-up. 20 lesions with and 26 lesions without residual viable tumor were found on CT images, and CT displayed 64.5% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 76.1% accuracy respectively. 29 lesions with and 17 lesions without residual viable tumor were found on MRI images, and its sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 93.5%, 100%, and 95.7% respectively. The sensitivity and accuracy between CT and MRI in evaluating the residual viable tumor of HCCs after TACE were significant different(?

As an important neurotransmitter, adenosine displays its functions by acting on the adenosine receptors. Recent studies have shown that the distribution, expression and balance among subtypes of adenosine receptors are closely related with cognitive activities, and changes of adenosine receptors play key roles in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease. It has been pointed out that prolonged activation of adenosine receptors by high level adenosine may lead to the disturbance of balance among adenosine receptor subtypes. This imbalance mainly performed as increased expression of A2a receptor and decreased expression of A1 receptor, and enhancement of the excitatory signals mediated by A2a receptor and weakened inhibitory signals mediated by A1 receptor. Changes of these two subtypes of adenosine receptors may lead to a lot of disorders of neurological activities which developed into dysfunction of cognition to the end. These findings imply that the potential of maintaining the balance among adenosine receptors on the treatment of AD would facilitate both the revealing of the mechanism and the cure of AD.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of critically ill children infected with pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA) and PA antibiotics resistance in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).Methods Case records of children with PA infection admitted to PICU in children′s hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from Jan 2007 to Dec 2009 were reviewed for clinical characteristics,case fatality rate,prognosis and drug resistance.Results (1) Clinical features:12 cases were community-acquired infection and 46 cases were hospital-acquired infections in 58 cases.On the same period,hospital-wide surveillance obtained PA 232 strains,PICU obtained PA 112,the ratio was 48.3%.Twelve cases died and total mortality was 20.7%.The mortality was significantly difference between community-acquired infections (5 cases,41.6%)and hospital-acquired infections (7 cases,15.2%)(P<0.05).The main symptom of children with community-acquired infections were intestinal infection (5 cases) and sepsis (5 cases).The children had acute onset and developed to shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome rapidly.Laboratory examination revealed the white blood cell normal (7/12) and decreased in 5 cases (5/12).The value of C-reactive protein was increased significantly,and the concentration of blood endotoxin were also increased.In the hospital-acquired PA infection cases,the main symptom was respiratory abnormal (38 cases),worsen primary disease,extended staying days in PICU.(2)Drug resistance analysis:112 PA,69.8% of ceftazidime-resistant,72.8% of the imipenem-resistant.Conclusion There is significant difference of the clinical features between PA community-acquired infection and hospital-acquired infection.The former is mostly primary infections with high fatality rate.PA hospital-acquired infection has become an important pathogen of nosocomial infection in PICU.And it is important to prevent PA infection caused by a long term broad-spectrum antibiotics application and invasive medical procedures.

Objective To estimate the application for the rapid identification of common clinical bacteria by MALDI-TOF MS. MethodsFour hundred and twenty-six bacteria, including Salmonella spp strains collected from Zhejiang center for disease control and prevention were collected from blood, sputum,secretion and urine in 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University during December 2008 to August 2009. The isolates included 76 gram positive coccus and 350 gram negative bacilli. Species identification was performed with the Vitek system, and serotypes of Salmonella and Shigella were determined by serum agglutination test. 16s rDNA gene of 91 bacteria were amplified by PCR. The RCP products were sequenced. Then the results were compared with the reported sequences from GenBank. All strains were identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Results of three identification methods were compared with each other. Results Among 426 tested isolates, identification results from Vitek system and MALDI-TOF MS for gram positive coccus and 323 out of 350 gram negative bacilli (exception for Salmonella and Shigella spp.),were identical. For 23 Salmonella and Shigella spp. , only 2 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Typhimurium were identified the same results by the three methods. Besides, results from Vitek system and serum agglutination test for 1 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Typhi, 3 Salmonella enterica subsp.enterica serovar Paratyphi A, 1 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Paratyphi B, 1 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Enteritidis, and 1 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Bovis-morbificans were consistent with that from 16S rDNA gene sequence. Four isolates which were confirmed as S. flexneri by Vitek system and serum agglutination test were identified as Escherichia coli by both 16S rDNA gene sequence and MALDI-TOF MS. ConclusionMALDI-TOF MS could be used for rapid and accurate identification of common clinical bacteria with good repeatabihty, excepting for the Salmonella and Shigella spp.

BACKGROUND:Previous research has shown that stem cells at different age stages had various proliferation and differentiation in vitro.Therefore,biological characteristics of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells at different age stages play a key role in evaluating differentiation into myocardial cells and determining proliferation and differentiation parameters in vitro.OBJECTIVE:To compare in vitro proliferation,surface marking,and differentiation into myocardial cells of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells from different aged rats.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:An in vitro contrast cytological observation was performed at the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology,Shanxi Medical University from May 2008 to May 2009.MATERIALS:A total of 15 healthy male Wistar rats were divided into three groups:1-month-old,3-month-old,and 12-month-old groups,with 5 rats in each group.METHODS:Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were cultured using adherence screening method.At the third passage,cells differentiated into myocardium-like cells by the induction of 5-azacytidine.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Cell proliferation was observed using MTT;cell surface marking was detected using flow cytometry;cardiac-specific myosin heavy chain mRNA expression was measured using RT-PCR.RESULTS:Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were adherent in each group,and the proliferation curve was similar to each other.Under the same culture condition,the proliferation in the 1-month-old and 3-month-old groups was faster than 12-month-old group (F=28.71,P ＜ 0.05).The third-passage cells strongly expressed CD44 and CD71 but weakly expressed CD34 and CD45.At 2 weeks after 5-azacytidine induction,cardiac-specific myosin heavy chain mRNA was observed in all groups;however,the cardiac-specific myosin heavy chain mRNA expression in both 1-month-old and 3-month-old groups was significantly greater than 12-month-old group (t=5.140,2.827,P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION:With the age increasing of rats,proliferation,survival time,and differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were weakened.

Objective:Discuss the diagnosis values on the upper digestive tract staininged by the endoscopy.Methods:After spraying straining on the 72 cases below parts using stomach endoscopy,who are suffering from esophagus,stomach disease,and duodenal,observe the staining struction and take some samples.Results:Take samples from Lugol's iodine unstaininged but areas on the 18 esophagus disease,the pathobology shows that 9 suffering f from esophagus carcinomas,3 Barrett's esophagus,6 chroinc esophgitis.Taking the staining areas as samples from 29 diseases (it is 80.55% among 36 disease suffering from methylene blue staining stomach),it appears that 5 are suffering from stomach cancer,21 are intestinal metaplosia and gastric dysplasia.Among 18 staining on bulbs of duodenal ulcer,11 unstaininged are checked gastric metaplasia (61.11%).Conclusions:The endoscopy staining possesses the ability of enlarging the endoscopy diagnosis.The method is simple and safe,it is worthy of clinical application and extending.

Objective:To describe our diagnostic and therapeutic experience of patients with urinary tract endometriosis.Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of 22 cases of urinary tract endometriosis with histopathological results from 2001 to 2007.Results:The mean patient age was 36.0 years.Of the 22 patients,4 had bladder involvement and 18 ureteral involvement.In those with bladder endometriosis,the diagnosis was made by cystoscopy and biopsy in 4 patients.The treatments consisted of partial cystectomy in 3 patients and transurethral resection of the bladder in 1 patient.One of the patients who underwent transurethral resection of the bladder experienced 1 relapse.The relapse was treated with partial cystectomy.In the patients with ureteral endometriosis,the diagnosis was mainly established by ultrasound(18 cases),intravenous urography(11 cases),retrograde pyelography(7 cases),CT(14 cases) and MRI(5 cases).The treatments consisted of ureterolysis in 1 patient,ureteroneocystostomy in 4,and ureteral resection and end-to-end anastomosis in 13 of them.All the patients pathologic results were of endome-triosis.Conclusion:Urinary tract endometriosis is an uncommon disease.Partial cystectomy should be considered as the therapeutic option for bladder endometriosis.For cases of ureteral endome-triosis,the first technique depends on the location,extent and depth of the lesion.

Objective To retrospectively analyzed the current application of warfarin in hospitalized patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillationand ( NVAF), explore the key role of clinical pharmacists in warfarin medication. Methods A retrospective survey of anticoagulant therapy for 179 hospitalized patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in Renming Hospotal of Wuhan University from January to December 2013 was retrived,including the usage of warfarin for NVAF and new-onset atrial fibrillation,dosage,international normalized ratio(INR),hemorrhage event and so on.The simple factor like the age,complicated chronic diseases and previous cerebrovascular events on the use of warfarin was explored. Results The total response rate to anticoagulants was 85.6% for patients with high risk of stroke(27.3% with warfarin and 58.3% with antiplatelet therapy),who are recommended to use warfarin,patient were treated with anti-thrombotic therapy.The total of 19.1% of the patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation used warfarin as therapy.The whole monitoring rate of INR was 89.8%,and the good control rate was 11.9%. Univariate analysis showed that some high risk factors such as age and high blood pressure affected the usage of warfarin. Conclusion The anti-thrombotic therapy for NVAF patients in the hospital is good,but usage of warfarin for those with new-onset atrial fibrillation is low,which couldn't reach the INR standard. More attention should be taken by the clinic pharmacists in effective managing the use of anticoagulant to build a safe,economic and effective medication system for warfarin application.
