Objective To explore the value of the spectral CT iodine-based material decomposition technique in differential diagnosis of central pulmonary carcinoma from obstructive pneumonia and atelectasis.Methods 25 cases with central pulmonary carcinoma complicating with obstructive pneumonia and atelectasis underwent CT plain scan and spectral contrast scan including pulmonary-arterial-phase (PAP) and bronchial-arterial-phase(BAP).Conventional CT images and iodine base images were generated in each phase by GSI viewer.The 4 groups of images differences between the tumor and the obstructive pneumonia and atelectasis were analyzed.Results The margin of the tumor was ill-defined in plain scan.The cases that showed difference between the tumor and the obstructive pneumonia and atelectasis in 4 groups of images were respectively as follows,10 in conventional CT images of PAP,1 6 in conventional CT images of BAP,1 9 in iodine base images of PAP,and 23 in iodine base images of BAP.The difference of the 4 groups was significant (χ2 =16.54,P<0.05).There was the highest accuracy in iodine base images of BAP in defining the tumor margin (χ2 = 12.83,χ2 = 4.20,χ2 =1.34,P <0.05). The accuracy between conventional CT images of BAP and iodine base images of PAP had no significant differences (χ2 =0.86,P >0.05),but were better than that of the conventional CT images of PAP(χ2 =6.65,P <0.05).Conclusion Spectral CT iodine-based material decomposition technique is helpful to improve subjective diagnosis of central pulmonary carcinoma complicating with obstructive pneumonia and atelectasis,especially in iodine base images of BAP,it can provide accurate information for clinical stage and treatment.

The pathogenesis of HBsAg (+)/HBsAb (+) double positive hepatitis B virus infection was investigated by simulating HBsAg/HBsAb coexistence in vitro and establishing HBsAg/HBsAb double positive model in vivo. Eukaryotic expression plasmids PCI-SY, PCI-adw, PCI-adr, PCI-ayw, which expressed S gene product of different serotypes, were constructed and transfected into HepG2 cells. Recombinant proteins were purified from the transfected cells. At the same time, HBsAg mouse antiserum was obtained by immunizing mice with PCI-SY plasmid. HBsAg/HBsAb coexistence was simulated using these antigens and antiserum. Furthermore, the expression plasmids expressing different serotypes of S gene product including PCI-adw, PCI-adr, and PCI-ayw were injected into mice via tail vein. HBsAg and HBsAb in mice sera were tested at the first and 7th day respectively after antigen plasmids injection. Both in vitro simulation and in vivo animal models demonstrated that HBsAg antigen and HBsAb of the same serotypes could not coexist, but HBsAg antigen and HBsAb of different serotype could coexist. HBsAg/HBsAb double positive hepatitis B virus infection could be due to infection of viruses of different serotypes.

The recombinant plasmid pCI-TSLC1 carrying TSLC1 gene was stably transfected into human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2. Cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT assay. The ability of migration was determined by transwell and FACSort flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. Western blotting revealed that H4 expressed higher amounts of TSLC1 protein than H15 and H0 did. The growth of TSLC1-transfected cells was significantly suppressed in vitro, and the ability of migration was reduced as well. The re-expression of TSLC1 could induce cell apoptosis. It was concluded that TSLC1 strongly inhibited the growth and ability of migration of HepG2 cell line in vitro and also induced apoptosis, suggesting that TSLC1 could reduce the tumorigenicity of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 in vitro, which provided a basis for further exploring the roles of TSLC1 in hepatocellular cellular carcinoma.

The kidney stores essence,essence generates marrow is one of the important contents in zaag-xiang theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).The kidney-marrow-brain,kidney-marrow-bone and other biological axis put forward by modern scholars took kidney-marrow system as their cores.Derived from this basis as well as under the guidance of TCM holism concept,the construction of TCM kidney-marrow system has been continuously improved;and the kidney-marrow correlation theory has been enriched.To better grasp and apply the kidney-marrow correlation theory can solve clinical problems of major diseases.However,doctors in past dynasties did not clearly define kidney-marrow system. It has not formed a complete theoretical system.Marrow in the kidney-marrow system contained brain,spinal cord and bone marrow.Marrow can generate blood,which nourishes bone together with the bone marrow.The bone marrow connects with the brain and spinal cord,which are all related to blood.Hence,the function of marrow generates blood occupied an important position in the kidney-marrow system. In this paper,the structure and function of the kidney-marrow system were preliminarily explained and constructed;and the kidney-marrow system related theories were further enriched.

There was preliminary understanding of the kidney-marrow correlation from the pre-Qin to Han dynasty.Until Wei-Jin and Sui-Tang dynasty,the close relationship between kidney-essence-marrow-bone-blood-brain was gradually realized in terms of the structure and physiological function.There was a new anatomical understanding of marrow in the Song,Jin and Yuan dynasty.The concept of spinal cord was put forward for the first time.There was also the etiology and pathogenesis on kidney marrow related diseases.In the Ming and Qing dynasty,there was in-depth understanding on the kidney-marrow correlation.However,the concept of kidney-marrow system was not clearly proposed.Modern scholars summarized traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories on kidney stores essence,essence generates marrow,marrow enriches brain,nourishes bone and transfers into blood. Then,the kidney-marrow systemhad begun to take form.It laid a theoretical foundation for the construction of kidney-marrow system..
