Methods The levels of above mentioned tumor markers in the BALF and serum samples of 70 patients with pathologically diagnosed lung cancer and 40 patients with benign lung diseases (BLD) were measured by electrochemiluminescence.

Objective:To investigate the effect and the mechanism of electroacupuncture(EA)on corpus striatum white matter injury in rats with focal cerebral ischemia(FCI).Methods:Forty-four specific-pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a normal group(n=10),a sham-operation group(sham group,n=10),and a modeling group(n=24)using the random number table method.The normal group was a blank control.In the sham group,only the vessels and vagus nerve were isolated without embolization.The FCI rat model in the modeling group was replicated using the middle cerebral artery occlusion embolization method.The 20 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into a model group and an EA group,with 10 rats in each group.Rats in the model group did not receive further treatment.Rats in the EA group received EA stimulation at Baihui(GV20)and the left Zusanli(ST36)24 h after the successful modeling,30 min each time,once a day for 14 d.On the 14th day of the experiment,rats in each group were scored for neurological deficits and then sacrificed,and brain tissues containing corpus striatum around the ischemic focus were paraffin-embedded from 5 rats in each group.Luxol fast blue(LFB)staining was used to detect damage changes in the white matter.The positive immunoreactive expression of myelin basic protein(MBP),myelin-associated growth inhibitor A(Nogo-A)and its receptor(NgR)in rat corpus striatum tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry staining,and then the protein expression of MBP,Nogo-A,and NgR in the corpus striatum tissue around the ischemic focus was determined by Western blotting.Results:Compared with the normal group and the sham group,the model group had a significantly higher neurological deficit score(P＜0.05)and fiber bundle injuries in the corpus striatum white matter,evidenced by a significantly lower mean optical density value of corpus striatum LFB staining(P＜0.05),a significantly lower MBP expression level(P＜0.05),and significantly higher Nogo-A and NgR protein expression levels(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the neurological deficit score was significantly lower(P＜0.05),the mean optical density value of LFB staining was significantly higher(P＜0.05),the MBP expression level was increased(P＜0.05),and the expression levels of Nogo-A and NgR proteins were decreased(P＜0.05)in the EA group.Conclusion:EA reduces the ischemia-induced corpus striatum white matter injury and improves neurological deficits.The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of Nogo-A/NgR activation.

Objective To analyze the causes of blood deficiency in the process of voluntary blood donation and to adopt targeted control measures,so as to effectively reduce blood scrapping and to better ensure theclinical blood use of the hospital.Methods The data of blood collection from January 2014 to December 2016 and the various reasons of insufficient blood collection were summarized;and according to these data as the object of study,the targeted measures were taken to observe the effect.Results According to the the reasons for the lack of blood collection,the targeted measures,such as organizing staff training,strengthening communication with blood donors and so on,were taken.After the implementation of these measures,the phenomenon of insufficient blood collection from 2014 to 2016 showed declining trend,withthe proportion decreased from 0.29％ to 0.20％.Conclusion To strengthen the staff staining in order to improve them vein collection technology,to publicize further,to communicate with blood donors effectively and improve the blood donation services,to ease the feelings of blood donors and to create a warm,harmonious and orderly blood donation atmosphere;all of these should be helpful for reducing the occurrence of insufficient blood collection.

AIM: To investigate the effect of hypercapnia on hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension and the changes of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and extracellular matrix collagen cross-links in the rat.METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normoxia group, hypoxia group, hypercapnia group and hypoxia+hypercapnia group.LOX activity was detected by fluorescence spectrophotometry.LOX protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The mRNA expression of LOX in the pulmonary artery was detected by real-time PCR.RESULTS: The levels of mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), RV/(LV+S) and WA/TA in hypoxia group were significantly higher than those in normoxia group (P<0.01).Moreover, the levels of mPAP and RV/(LV+S) in hypoxia+hypercapnia group were significantly lower than those in hypoxia group (P<0.01).However, no significant difference of mPAP and RV/(LV+S) between hypercapnia group and normoxia group was observed.In hypoxia group, the collagen cross-links in the lung tissue was significantly higher than that in normoxia group and hypercapnia group (P<0.01).Importantly, collagen cross-links in the lung tissue of hypoxia+hypercapnia group was significantly lower than that in hypoxia group (P<0.01).There was no significant difference in collagen cross-links between hypercapnia group and normoxia group.The expression of LOX at mRNA and protein levels and its activity in the pulmonary arteries of hypoxia group were significantly increased as compared with normoxia group (P<0.01).Furthermore, the expression of LOX at mRNA and protein levels and its activity in the pulmonary arteries in hypoxia+hypercapnia group were lower than those in hypoxia group (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Hypoxia not only up-regulates LOX but also promotes collagen cross-linking in the rat lung, which contributes to the development of pulmonary hypertension.Hypercapnia inhibits hypoxia-induced LOX expression and collagen cross-linking, therefore impairing the progress in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To investigate the value of fractional contrast medium bolus injection in improving the quality of CT portography.MethodsA total of 42 patients were randomly divided into two groups which were all given iohexol (350mgI/mL) as the contrast medium.20 patients in the group A were injected with conventional method (dosage of 100ml, rate of 4mL/s).The group B (22 patients) were treated with fractional contrast medium bolus injection, the first phase with 60mL contrast medium (rate of 4mL/s) and the second phase (10s delayed) with 40mL contrast medium (rate of 4m/s).The tube was washed by 20mL saline with the same rate of injection at both phases.The CT values and the image quality of the branches of the portal vein were evaluated according to the original and postprocessed images.Independent samples test was used to compare the CT values of the portal vein, splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, hepatic parenchyma and portal vein-liver parenchyma.The subjective evaluation scores of the image quality were compared by wilcoxon.ResultsThe CT values of the portal vein, splenic vein and portal vein-liver parenchyma in the group B were significantly higher than that in the group A (t=3.317,3.523,P<0.01).There was no significant difference in CT values of hepatic parenchyma and superior mesenteric vein between the two groups.Subjective quality score in the group B was superior to that in the group A, and the difference was statistically significant.T The two evaluation physicians agreed well.ConclusionThe technique of fractional contrast medium bolus injection can significantly improve the image quality of CT portograghy.
