Purpose To investigate the MSCT diagnosis and differential diagnosis of rare pancreatic tumors.Materials and Methods The MSCT features were analysied respectively of 31 cases with pancreatic tumors confirmed by surgery and pathology.Results There were serous cystadenoma in 7 cases,mucinous cystadenoma in 9 cases,mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in 1 case,solid-pseudopapillary tumor in 8 cases,islet cell tumor in 4 cases,carcinoid tumor in 1 case and intraductal papillary adenocarcinoma 1 case.The MSCT appearances were different each other.Conclusion MSCT is very helpful in diagnosis and differential diagnosis for the rare pancreatic tumors.

Objective To investigate multi-slice spiral CT manifestations and its diagnostic value of extragastrointestinal stromal tumor(EGIST).Methods CT data in 19 patients with EGIST proved pathologically were retrospectively reviewed.Results Of the 19 cases,the lesions located in reteoperitoneum in 8 cases,adrenal,greater omentum,omentum and mesentery in one case respectively,mesentery in 4 cases,and abdominal cavity in 4 cases.2 cases were benign,4 cases were potential malignant,and 13 cases were malignant.The size of tumors ranged 4.1～35 cm.The tumors were round or oval in 5 cases,lobulated in 5 cases and irregular in 9 cases.The tumors in 4 cases were uniform density on plain CT scans,1 case of uniform and moderate enhancement,1 case of non-uniform enhancement,2 cases of apparent enhancement as ring on contrast-enhanced CT scans;15 cases showed unhomogeneous density,on contrast-enhanced scans,moderate or remarkable enhancement was seen in the parenchyma of the tumor,while no enhancement was revealed in the necrosis and cystic areas of the tumors.Conclusion EGIST have certain imaging characteristics and MSCT was valuable in diagnosing and differential diagnosing EGIST.

The binding capacity (R_o) and apparant dissociation constant (K_d) of glucocrticoid binding sites in hepatic cytosol of normal and scalded rats were measured by pseudoscatchard analysis. Compared with control group, the levels of Ro of glucocorticoid receptor was significantly decreased 1 h after scalding, partialy recovered at 12h after scalding and fully recovered at 24 h after scalding. The levels of low-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites were also decreased 12 h after scalding, but had no statistical significance. The possible significance of these results has been discussed.

Objective To explore the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and central corneal thickness (CCT) in myopia eyes.Methods 91 cases (91eyes) were selected from ophthalmological outpatients including 28cases with low myopia ( spherical equivalence [ SE ] ＞ -3.0D), 33 cases with moderate myopia (SE -0.3D ～ -6.0D) and 30 cases with high myopia (SE ＜ -6.0D).All patients received ocular standard examination including intraocular pressure, refraction, slitlamp biomicroscopy and fundus examination.Other ocular diseases except refractive error were excluded.RNFL thickness and CCT were measured by RTVue Fourior-OCT ( Optovue Inc, USA).Refraction diopter was shown as SE.Results The mean RNFL thickness and CCT was ( 108.5 ± 10.1 ) μm, (524.7 ±36.8)μm respectively.These were no significantly different among low, moderate and high myopia ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Temporal RNFL thickness( tl1 ,tu1 ) was significantly positive related with CCT( r =0.281,0.093 of tl1, r= 0.352,0.167 of tu1 respectively in single and multiple variable analysis; P ＜ 0.05 ), nasal ( nl2, nu2)and inferior nasal RNFL thickness( in2,in1 )was significantly positive related with SE( P ＜0.05), inferior temporal RNFL thickness( it2)was significantly negative related with SE( P ＜0.05), and RNFL thickness in other regions were not significant related with CCT and SE ( P ＞ 0.05 ) in single and multiple variable regressive analysis.Conclusion Relationship between RNFL thickness of local paradisc region and CCT in myopia eyes suggested that CCT should be correlative with some sensible structural parameters in glaucomatous neuropathy and might be important in the diagnosis and therapy of glaucoma.

Objective To find out the difference in expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein and neuron-specific enolase in hippocampi and olfactory bulb of Alzheimer's disease rats,and the relationship between olfactory and Alzheimer's disease.Methods Adult rats,the expression of GFAP and NSE in hippocampi and olfactory bulb was measured by immuhistochemical after a single intracerebroventricular injection of ?-amyloid peptide,and change of these protein in olfactory.Results Comparing the hippocampi and olfactory of model and control,the expression of GFAP in model group increased evidently,the expression of NSE descended animals.Conclusion There is significant difference in olfactory system between Alzheimer's disease model and control group rats.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori antigen in saliva and the activity of gastritis and like intestinal metaplasia(IM)or atypical hyperplasia(AH).Methods From June 2004 to June 2005 Helicobacter pylori antigen were detected in saliva of 246 persons by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and the Hp-positive rates in saliva in patients with different gastritis were compared.Results The Hp-positive rate in saliva in patients with active chronic gastritis was 74.29%(26/35),which was significantly higher(P

Several cytokines which play key role in asthma patients with chronic inflammation and reconstruction of air duct,are important targets for anti-asthma agents.In this review,we summarize the latest advancement of anti-asthma agents which targeted for cytokines(interleukins,TNF,eotaxin)and investigation development of new anti-asthma agents emerged in recent years.

Scatchard, pseudoscatchard and competitive analyses showed that there were two glucocorticoid (GC) binding sites in rat hepatic cytosol: high-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites (HAGS) and low-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites (LAGS). Pseudoscatchard analysis showed the dissociation constant (Kd) of LAGS was 4.1+1.4umol/L (n=4). The inactivation of LAGS in vitro was slower" than that of HAGS. LAGS and HAGS could not be separated by DEAE-cellulose chfomatography. HAGS were saturable and had steroid specificity for glucocorticoid just as the classic glucocorticoid receptor. Triamcinolone acetonide, RU486 and RU26988 competed equally well to LAGS while aldosterone, progesterone, estradiol and testosterone did not compete with LAGS. These results suggest that LAGS have steroid specificity for glucocorticoids. The biological actions of LAGS await fur ther study.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a kind of indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL), which origins from follicle germinal center. Multiple researches reported the latest development about treatment of FL in the 58th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. The outcomes of clinical trials in which GAl01 combined with chemotherapy and bendamustine in combination with 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan for the advanced stage FL were exciting. Relapsed/refractory FL patients who receive tandem autologous followed by nonmyeloablative allogeneic transplantation could acquire preferable remissions. With the emerging of novel drugs including inhibitor of bcl-2 or PI3K and antibody drug conjugate, more and more improvements of efficacy and remission were made in the treatment of relapsed/refractory FL therapy and remission.

Objective:To investigate the effect and safety of sertraline tablets with oral administration in the diabetes patients com-plicated with depression. Methods:Totally 74 diabetes patients complicated with depression were randomly divided into 2 groups with 37 ones in each. All the patients were orally given dimethyldiguanide 500 mg,tid,and the observation group was given sertraline tablets additionally,50-100 mg,qd. The treatment course was 8 weeks. The changes of sugar metabolism and the scores of self-rating depres-sion scale( SDS)and quality of life scale( DMQLS)in the two groups were compared. Results:After the 8-week treatment,the blood sugar,SDS scores and DMQLS scores in the two groups were significantly improved when compared with those before the treatment( P<0. 05). The levels of FBG,2hPG and HbAlc and SDS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the con-trol group(P<0. 05),while the scores of DMQLS disease,psychology,society and satisfaction dimension were significantly higher in the observation group(P<0. 05). The incidence of adverse reactions showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0. 05). Conclusion:Sertraline tablets can improve the depression of diabetes patients and enhance the blood sugar control and quality of life.
