Objective To investigate the advantage of separate bolus injection technique in CT urography (CTU) improving the display of the whole urinary tract.Methods Sixty cases of CTU examination,were divided into observation group and control group by random digits table with 30 cases each,observation group used separate bolus injection technique and control group used single bolus injection technique.The scanning included routine scanning,cortical phase,medullary phase and lag phase.Reconstruction of lag phase displayed the whole urinary tract.Then the image quality was compared between two groups.Results The whole urinary tract showed excellent in 12 cases (40.0％,12/30),good in 17 cases (56.7％,17/30),normal in 1 case (3.3％,1/30) in control group,which showed excellent in 23 cases (76.7％,23/30),good in 7 cases (23.3％,7/30) in observation group,there was significant difference in excellent rate between two groups (P ＜ 0.01).The CT value of starting of ureter was (238.6 ± 82.5) HU,middle-lower ureter was (245.9 ± 112.3) HU in control group and (239.0 ± 93.8),(235.3 ± 74.6) HU in observation group,there was no significant difference between two groups (P ＞0.05).There was no difference in developing of urolithiasis between two bolus injection techniques.Conclusion The application of separate bolus injection technique in CTU examination can reduce the dose of the first contrast material and contrast material reaction,and receive high-quality image of the whole urinary tract.

Objective To investigate the expression of angiotensinⅡ (Ang Ⅱ ) and its type 1 receptor (AT1) in circulation, placenta and kidney of the rots preeclampsia. Methods Preedampsia rat model was developed by inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME). The systolic blood pressure (SBP), 24 h urine protein, hepatic and renal function were compared among the precelampsia group, the normal pregnant group and nonpregnant control group. The kidney tissue was observed by light microscopy. ELISA and radioimmunoassay were used to detect Ang Ⅱ in rat plasma and kidney homogenate respectively. Placental AT1 was measured by Westem blot. The level of kidney AT1 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results In preeclampsia rats, SBP and 24 h urine protein were significantly higher compared with control groups. Compared to normal pregnant group, plasma Ang Ⅱ of preeclampsia rats was much higher [(0.706±0.086) ng/L vs (0.540±0.085) ng/L, P＜0.05]; placental AT1 was increased by 46%(P＜ 0.05); kidney Ang Ⅱ was decreased signigicantly [(65.543±40.634) ng/g vs (165.543±33.078) ng/g, P＜0.05]. The expression of ATI in kidney of preeclampsia rats was reduced evidently,which was only 33% of normal pregnancy group and 59% of nonpregnant control greup,respeetively (P＜0.05). Conclusions In preeclampsia rat model, the circulating Ang Ⅱ is increased, the placental RAS isactivated, while the kidney BAS is suppressed. The underlying mechanism of proteinuria and kidney damage associated with this phenomenon in preeclampsia needs further research.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of transurethral bipolar plasmakinetic resection of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods A total of 45 cases of BPH were treated by transurethral bipolar plasmakinetic resection of prostate (PKRP) and were followed up for 3-10 months.Results The weight of the resected prostate was 28-105 g with an average of (47?16) g, the operation time was 15-120 min with an average of (50?12) min. No case needed blood transfusion during the operation and no transurethral resection syndrome occurred. The mean catheterization time was 4 d and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 7 d. Peak urine flow increased from (7.3?1.5) ml/s to (16.2?4. 4) ml/s and IPSS decreased from (27.6?1.3) to (5.8?1.0) in 3 months postoperatively. Conclusion Transurethral bipolar plasmakinetic resection of prostate is effective and safe with less complications.

Objective To assess the implementation of essential public health services (EPHS), and determine the main influencing factors for EPHS in Menglian. Methods In September 2012, the questionnaire survey method was employed to collect the data of EPHS implementation in 2011 in three community medical institutes and the EPHS evaluation of health staff sampled by stratified random sampling in Menglian. Results In 2011, the report rates of infectious diseases epidemics, public health emergencies and health inspection were all 100%, the inoculation rates of most vaccines were over 90%,and the health management rates of the children aged 0 to 6 years,pregnant and lying-in woman,aged population,hypertensives, type 2 diabetes patients and serious psychotics were high (about 85%) . The establishment rate of heath archives (60%to 70%),the controlling rates of blood pressure in the hypertensive population (about 50%), the rates of glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients (55%to 70%) and the steady rates of serious psychotics (50% to 60%), however, were low. The implementation of EPHS was unbalance among towns, suburbs and outer suburbs. The main factors that influenced the EPHS implementation were inadequate human resources, insufficient or unused health devices, ambiguous responsibilities among the health institutes, non-cooperative behaviors, and unhealthy living habits in rural residents. Conclusions The implementation of many EPHS items is good. For promoting EPHS,it is necessary to train human resources,activiate unused health devices,get support of residents and carry out health education.

BACKGROUND:A variety of embryonic stem cells induction and differentiation systems have been established so far, while the research that promotes embryonic stem cells to differentiate into hematopoietic stem cells is stil at an initial stage, and the induction efficiency needs to be improved.
OBJECTIVE:To active the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway in mouse embryonic stem cells with exogenous win3a as an inducer, and then to observe whether the activation of this pathway wil promote the directional differentiation of embryonic stem cells into hematopoietic progenitor cells.
METHODS:The ES-E14TG2a mouse stem cells were cultured with the exogenous wnt3a (100 μg/L) for 21 days, the content ofβ-catenin was tested by cellimmunofluorescence and western blot, and expression of Wnt downstream target gene was detected by quantitative reverse transcription PCR to determine the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway. Single-layer adherent culture method was used to induce the directional differentiate of above-mentioned cells into hematopoietic stem cells, and detection of hematopoietic development associated surface marker CD34+/Sca-1+was achieved by flow cytometry;meanwhile, the expression of hematopoietic associated gene was measured by quantitative reverse transcription PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We found thatβ-catenin accumulated in ES-E14TG2a mouse stem cells after cultured with wnt3a (100 μg/L) for 21 days;the expressions of Wnt downstream target genes such as Pitx2, Frizzled, Sox17 and Oct4 showed the different degrees in increase, meaning the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway. Furthermore, during the time that we used single-layer adherent culture method to induce hematopoietic stem cells, the CD34+/Sca-1+cells accounted for 20.2%of total cells at day 14, and control cells only accounted for 11.9%. Again, expression quantity of hematopoietic associated gene BMP4, FLK2 and CD34 increased while Smad5 was suppressed significantly. Our data suggest that sustaining action by wnt3a wil active Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway, and also promote the directional differentiation of ES-E14TG2a mouse stem cells into hematopoietic progenitor cells.
