Objective To investigate the value of CT perfusion imaging in quantitative monitoring on microcirculation hemodynamics,differences between tumor and normal tissues,differences between mass center and edge,and on tumour microvascular responses to anti-angiogenesis therapy. Methods Fifteen male New Zealand white rabbits were established to VX2 tumor-bearing model. The animals were divided into 2 groups,anti-angiogenesis therapy (n=11,TNP-470,20 to 30 mg/kg),and control (n=4). DEC-CT scanning (80 kV,120 mA,20 cm VOF) was performed at 1 week after tumor implantation,1 week after anti-angiogenesis therapy,and 2 week after anti-angiogenesis therapy. Perfusion parameters,including blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV),mean transit time (MTT),and permeability surface (PS) were calculated for tumor mass,tumor edge,tumor center and normal tissue. Results Significant differences of the average values were observed in BF,PS and MTT between tumor and normal tissue [149.32?30.99 vs 32.18?4.10 ml/(100 g?min),28.24?5.15 vs 11.88?0.71 ml/(100 g?min),2.79?0.66 vs 6.57?0.90 s,P

OBJECTIVE To detect the genes of plasmid-mediated AmpC and ESBL ?-lactamases and classⅠ integron in clinical isolate of Escherichia coli.METHODS The bacterial susceptibility to antimicrobial agents for strain E50 was determined by agar dilution method.The genes of AmpC,ESBLs,and intⅠ1 were analyzed using PCR and verified DNA sequencing.Conjugation experiment was used to study the transfer of drug resistance.RESULTS The strain was only susceptible to imipenem.CTX-M-15,SHV-1,TEM-1,DHA-1 and intⅠ 1 genes were positive.CONCLUSIONS It has complicated mechanism of drug resistance.Some of clinical strains producing plasmid-mediated AmpC ?-lactamase are accompanied by extensively producing ESBLs.Carbapenems are the best choice for treatment infection caused by strains producing ESACs.More attention should be paid to integron which plays an important role in multi-resistance.

BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and its macrovascular complications. Euglycemic agent (rosiglitazone and metformin) can ameliorate IR, but its influences on other cardiovascular risk factors, including blood lipid, blood pressure and body mass need to be further studied.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of rosiglitazone and metformin on the blood glucose, blood lipid, blood pressure and body mass of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by blood lipid disturbance.DESIGN: A clinical observation.SETTING: Department of Endocrinology, Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Forty-two patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by dyslipideamia, who received treatment in the Department of Endocrinology, Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University between June and September 2006 were recruited in this study. The involved patients, 27 male and 15 female, averaged (58±2)years ranging from 30 to 70 years old. Inclusive criteria:①Type 2 diabetes mellitus all met the diagnostic criteria of American Diabetes Association (2006).② Diagnostic criteria of blood lipid disturbance : total cholesterol(TC)＞ 4.68 mmol/L, triglyceride (TG) ＞ 1.7 mmol/L, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ＞ 2.68 mmol/L, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ＜ 0.9 mmol/L (female), ＜ 1.0 mmol/L (male). Informed consents were obtained from all the patients.METHODS：①Drug treatment：Dudng the 12-week treatment,all the patients received 0．75 g metformin(Lot No．051110 and 051214,0.25 g，lablel,Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co.，Ltd)and 4 mg rosiglitazone (Lot No．0511101,2 mg／tablet，Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co.，Ltd) daily．②Physical and laboratory measurements：Body mass index，blood pressure were taken，and blood lipid profile(TC,TG,C-LDL and C-HDL)，fasting and postprandial blood glucose were measured by colodmetdc method before,8 and 12 weeks after treatment．MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES：①Fasting and postprandial blood glucose level change．②Blood lipid，blood pressure and body mass index change．RESULTS：Forty-two patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by dyslipideamia were recruited，and three dropped out the experiment，one patient suffered from severe watery stool,one patient from severe abdominal distention,one patient from urinary tract infection, and the other thirty-nine patients completed the observation in the final analysis．Compared with pretraatment data,fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels 12 weeks after treatment were decreased(P＜0．01),TC increased(P＜0．05)，LDL-C decreased(P＜0．01)，HDL-C increased(P＜0．01),blood pressure did not change(P＞0．05) and body mass index increased(P＜0．01)．CONCLUSION：Combinatin of rosiglitazone and metformin significantly decreases blood glucose，decreases LDL-C,increases TC，HDL-C,body mass index,and has no obvious effects on TG and blood pressure．It is safe and bearable for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with dyslipideamia．

Objective:To discuss the significance of standardized treatment for cancer pain, according to the Cancer Pain Treat-ment Specification (2011 Edition) issued by the Ministry of Health, PR China. Methods:Clinical data of 126 patients with cancer pain, who were admitted to the Department of Medical Oncology, The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, were collected to com-pare the improvement of the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score, number of breakthrough pain, and quality of life score after treatment. The relationships between different pain grades, disease entities, and treatment effect were analyzed. The influence factors of pain relief were also analyzed by using Logistic regression analysis. Results:1). Following standardized treatment, the improvement rate of NRS score has shown significant differences in pain grading (P=0.001) and gender (P=0.000). However, no significant differences were ob-served between different diseases (P=0.112). The improvement rate of the life quality score and the number of breakthrough pain had no significant difference after standardized treatment. 2). The grading of cancer pain and the disease entities had little effect on cancer pain relief. 3). The anti-tumor treatment and“no distant metastasis”were the independent factors that brought about the decrease in NRS and quality of life scores.“No distant metastasis”(P=0.046) was the independent factor that reduced the number of pain out-breaks. Conclusion: The standardized treatment positively affects the NRS score, number of breakthrough pain, and quality of life score. Patients who received anti-neoplastic therapy and who had no distant metastasis showed significant treatment effectiveness in pain management.
