BACKGROUND: Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) contrast agent has been extensively explore in tracing imaging following stem cell transplantation, arabinogalactan cell membrane receptor targeted imaging, as well as liposome-coated SPIO. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research state of liposome-coated SPIO. METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI and Science Direct (1998-01/2009-09) was performed to search the articles about liposome-coated SPIO with key words "SPIO, superparamagnetic iron oxide, liposome, MR contrast agent" in Chinese and English. Articles related to MR contrast agent, and published in recently or authorial journals of the same field were included. A total of 48 articles were collected, and 24 articles and 1 composition related to liposome-coated SPIO were reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The incessant innovation in MR contrast agents can greatly improve the diagnosis of MRI. Due to the good performances, diagnostic value of SPIO in many diseases has surpassed previous MR contrast agents. Liposome-coated SPIO has the merits of low toxic side effect, and well targeting in specific tissues, thereby extensively being used in experimental studies and clinical application. With the development of functional imaging and molecular imaging, the use of liposome-coated SPIO must be more extensive.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cognitive function and emotional status in functional constipation patients.Methods Thirty-five functional constipation patients (the functional constipation group) and 24 healthy controls (the HCs) were enrolled in an event-related potential (ERP),behavior and electroeneephalogram study while performing an oddball auditory task.Response time,accuracy,latency and P300 amplitude were compared between the two groups.The Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-17),Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA),symptom check list-90 (SCL-90) and Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) were administered prior to the oddball task.Results The average HAMD-17,HAM A and SCL-90 (the somatization,obsessive-compulsive disorder,depression,anxiety and psychosis dimensions) scores of the functional constipation group differed significantly from those of the HCs.The intro-extraversion and neurosis dimensions of the EPQ were also significantly different.There was no significant difference in response time or latency between the two groups.The ERP results showed that the P300 amplitudes at the F3 and F7 sites were significantly different between the functional constipation group and the HCs.But there was no significant difference in P300 latencies at F3 or F7 between the two groups.Conclusions The findings suggest that patients with functional constipation are more susceptible to depression and anxiety,as well as somatization,obsessive-compulsive tendencies and other neurotic personality characteristics.Patients may employ psychological defense mechanisms to avoid the depression and anxiety.The ERP results imply there may be the implicit cognitive dysfunction with emotion in patients with functional constipation.

0.05). In the group of pirenzepine, the RBF, velocity and volume significantly increased at 0.5 h and 1 h after injection compared with that before injection (P0.05). Conclusion These results suggest that pirenzepine could increase RBF and oxygen in blood with the peak time at 0.5 h and 1 h after intravitreous injection.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of frozen-thawed murine islets which were transplanted into diabetic rats after cultured with hyperbaric oxygenated rotary cell culture system (HORCCS). Methods The purified rat islets were divided into two groups: A. In vitro experiment groups (IvEG) : The rat islets in each subgroup were cultured in HORCCS or common medium for 30 days, then evaluated for the intracellular DNA and insulin contents of islets, and the viability and insulin secreting level of islets. B. Islet transplantation experimental groups (TxEG) : The frozen-thawed islets were cultured in HORCCS or common medium for 7 days, and then transplanted into the recipients. We observed the blood glucose level (BGL) and insulin secreting level in the recipients as well as the uhrastructure change of islets in TxEG. Results The viability and insulin secreting level of islets cultured with HORCCS at 14th day were much higher than those cultured with common medium (P <0.05). The blood glucose level in recipients transplanted with islets cultured with HORCCS recovered to normal value at the 2nd week and lasted for 8 weeks. All these recipients maintained the normal glucose tolerance curve. Electronic microscopy found microchannel outlets on the surface of the frozen-thawed islets cultured with HORCCS. Conclusions Frozen-thawed islets cultured with HORCCS could establish nutrient transmission microchannels, which were not only capable of oxygen and nutrients transmission, but also improving cryopreservation solution to diffuse inside the islet cells evenly and uniformly. So this method not only lessens islet damage from cryopreservation, but also improves the effect of transplantation.

Objective To study the effects and mechanism of different administrations of atorvastatin on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) in rats.Methods A total of 160 male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:sham group,MI/R group,atorvastatin of conventional dose (MI/R + N) group,atorvastatin of preoperative signal loading dose (MI/R+SL) group,and atorvastatin of preoperative continuous loading dose (MI/ R+ML) group.MI/R model was established in the rats.Myocardial infarction size was detected by Evans blue/ TTC staining.The activity of ATPase of cardiac muscle and the levels of serum IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by ELISA.The level of LVEF％ was detected by small animal ultrasound.Results Compared with MI/R+N group,MI/R+ SL and MI/R+ ML groups had significantly smaller myocardial infarction size (P＜0.05),higher activity of ATPase (P＜0.05),lower levels of serum IL-6 andTNF-α (P＜0.05),and more advancedLVEF％ (P＜0.05).However,MI/R+SL group and MI/R+ML group did not differ significantly in the above-mentioned parameters.Conclusion Atorvastatin of loading dose might alleviate MI/R injury by improving ATP metabolism of cardiac muscle and reducing abnormal expressions of inflammation factors.Meanwhile,the administration of preoperative continuous loading dose and preoperative signal loading dose of atorvastatin may not differ in protecting against MI/R injury.

Objective To evaluate surgical treatment of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm.Methods The data on surgical treatment of 45 patients with infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm admitted from January 2003 to June 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.Fourty-three patients underwent operative treatment including excision of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm,exhaustive debridement and bypass graft with vascular prosthesis.Two patients were unavoidable to undergo removing of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm and ligating the proximal and distal artery of pseudoaneurysm because of severe infection and large volume.Results The patients were followed up from 3 to 12 months(mean 7.82 months).The limbs of all the patients underwent bypass graft with vascular prosthesis were salvaged successfully,patients of which had secondary wound healing and had not intermittent lameness.One of two patients performed ligation of artery was salvaged successfully but had severe intermittent lameness,another patient underwent high amputation above knee because of ischemic gangrene.ConclusionFor infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm,the operative treatment including excision of infected femoral artery pseudoaneurysm,exhaustive debridement and bypass graft with vascular prosthesis is effective and safe.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of moxibustion with different doses for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and explore the correlation between moxibustion dose and clinical efficacy. Methods: Sixty-eight patients with KOA who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a 20-minute moxibustion group and a 40-minute moxibustion group by the random number table method, with 34 cases in each group. Dubi (ST 35), Neixiyan (EX-LE 4) and Heding (EX-LE 2) were used for moxibustion in the two groups. Each treatment lasted 20 min or 40 min for each point in the 20-minute moxibustion group and 40-minute moxibustion group, separately; the treatment was given 3 times a week and lasted for 4 weeks. The visual analog scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster University osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores were evaluated before and after treatment to compare the efficacy between different moxibustion doses for KOA. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate was 87.5％ in the 40-minute moxibustion group, versus 70.0％ in the 20-minute moxibustion group, and the difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS scores, the total WOMAC scores and the component scores of pain, stiffness and dysfunction, and the TCM symptom scores in both groups all changed significantly when compared with those before treatment (all P<0.05). After treatment, the between-group differences in the VAS score, the total WOMAC score and the component scores of pain and dysfunction, and the TCM symptom score were statistically significant (all P<0.05), while the difference in the stiffness score in WOMAC showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion: Either 20-minute moxibustion or 40-minute moxibustion can relieve pain, improve stiffness, dysfunction, and TCM symptoms for KOA; and 40-minute moxibustion is better in relieving pain, improving dysfunction and TCM symptoms.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of mild moxibustion for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and to explore the role of mild moxibustion in relieving pain,reducing stiffness and improving joint dysfunction in patients with KOA.Methods:Eighty patients with KOA were randomly allocated into either a moxibustion group or a medication group by the random number table,with 40 cases in each group.The moxibustion group used mild moxibustion at Neixiyan (EX-LE 5),Dubi (ST 35),Xuehai (SP 10) and Liangqiu (ST 34),30 min each time,3 times a week;the medication group was given celecoxib capsule (celebrex),0.2 g each time,once a day.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.The visual analog scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC)scores were evaluated before and after treatment.The efficacy of the two groups was compared after treatment.Results:After treatment,the overall efficacy of the moxibustion group was significantly different from that of the medication group (P＜0.05).The VAS and WOMAC scores of the two groups were lower than those before treatment (both P＜0.01).The changes in the VAS and WOMAC scores after treatment in the moxibustion group were significantly different from those in the medication group (both P＜0.05).After treatment,in single item of WOMAC,the changes in pain and joint dysfunction in the moxibustion group were more statistically significant than those in the medication group (both P＜0.05).Conclusion:Mild moxibustion and oral celebrex can reduce the VAS and WOMAC scores of patients with KOA.Mild moxibustion is superior to oral celebrex in relieving pain and improving joint function.

Objective Acute type B aortic dissection (ATBAD) is a life-threatening condition.Open surgical (OS) repair with a prosthetic graft has been a conventional treatment for ATBAD.Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR),as a less invasive and potentially safer technique,has been used increasingly in recent decade.Evidence to support the use of TEVARin these patients is needed.This meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of TEVAR versus conventional OS in patients with ATBAD.Methods We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library (last searched 2010,Issue 4),MEDLINE,EMBASE,CINAHL,Web of Science 、OpenSIGLE 、National Technical Information Service(NTIS) 、CNKI 、Chinese Biomedicine Database 、VIP、WanFang Data for clinical trials and additional sources for published and unpublished trials until 1/18/2011.Controlled trials in which patients with ATBAD were assigned to TEVAR or OS repair were included.The authors extracted independently the following information using a specifically designed data collection form for individual trial included:first author and the year of publication,study population,interventions used (TEVAR or OS repair) and outcomes (short-term mortality,short-term complications,long-term complications and long-term mortality rates).Data were extracted on the relevant methodological domains to minimize the bias in the analysis with use of the Cochrane methods for bias assessment and Grading of Recommendations Assessments Development and Evaluation (GRADE)methods.For each outcome,GRADE criteria and Cochrane Bias evaluation were used to evaluate the quality of the evidence with regard to inconsistency (heterogeneity),indirectness,imprecision,and other potential sources of bias,such as publication and reporting bias.Revman5.0 and GRAED profiler 3.2.2 software were used to analyze the data.Results Five trials (318 participants) were included in the analysis.The five studies were limited by lack of allocation concealment and blindness,and the studies were small.The evidence quality determined with the GRADE approach for 30-day mortality was poor and for other variables was very poor.As compared with ATBAD,TEVAR associated with a significantly reduced short-term mortality,M-H fixed odds ratio 0.19,95％ CI [0.09,0.39],P＜0.001.However,TEVAR could not improve the postoperative outcomes such as complications or long-term mortality,M-H random odds ratio 1.40,95％ CI[0.24,8.18].Conclusion TEVAR can be weakly recommended as an alternative for the treatment of ATBAD in selected cases and may not be used as a general option in place of surgery based on the current evidences.
