The results showed cure in 45 cases, effectiveness in 9 cases, failure in 2 cases and the total effective rate was 96.5%.

Objective:To explore the quality on 64-slice CT coronary angiography with different injection rates of contrast agent.Methods: 120 patients who have been diagnosed or suspected coronary atherosclerosis were selected in our hospital and were randomly divided into group A(4.5ml/s), group B(5.0ml/s) and group C(5.5ml/s), with 40 cases in each group. We observed CT attenuation values, image quality, and adverse reactions of the three groups.Results: There were significant differences in the ascending aorta, descending aorta, left main, left anterior descending artery, circumflex artery and the right coronary artery and other parts of the CT attenuation value (F=6.838,F=4.002,F=7.261,F=5.992,F=8.281,F=5.790,F=6.126;P<0.05). In image quality, the group B with 34 cases was significantly better than group A with 12 cases and group C with 20 cases (x2=9.632,x2=5.475;P<0.05). The rate of adverse reactions was 30%, 7.5% and 22.5% with 12 cases in group A, 3 cases in group B and 9 cases in group C. The rate in group B was significantly lower than in group A and group C (x2=12.985,x2=10.236;P<0.05).Conclusion: Through the application of the same concentration of the contrast agent and scan conditions to coronary angiography, we can get a good vascular enhancement and high quality imaging when the injection rate of contrast medium is 5ml/s, while incidence of adverse reactions may be reduced.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of Compound ginkgo leaf granules on liver function damage of acute pancreatitis. METHODS:Totally 82 patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)complicated with liver function damage se-lected from our hospital during Sept. 2013-Sept. 2015 were randomized into control group and observation group according to ran-dom number table,with 41 cases in each group. Control group was given SAP related routine therapy. On the basis of the control group,observation group was additionally given Compound ginkgo leaf granules 5 g added into warm boiled water 80 mL via naso-gastric tube,tid,one week as a treatment course,for 2 courses. The remission time of abdominal pain,serum amylase recovery time,length of hospital stay and adverse drug reactions were observed in 2 groups. The levels of serum amylase,ALT,TBIL, AST,γ-GT,ALB,IL-6,TNF-α,creotoxin concentration,MDA,SOD,GSH-Px,total antioxidant capacity(TAC)and peripher-al blood PMN NF-κB levels were determined in 2 groups before and after treatment. RESULTS:In control group,3 patients with-drew from the study and 38 patients completed the study;in observation group,6 patients withdrew from the study and 35 patients completed the study. The remission time of abdominal pain,recovery time of serum amylase and the length of hospital stay in obser-vation group were significantly shorter than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of serum amylase,ALT,TBIL,AST,γ-GT,ALB,IL-6,TNF-α,creotoxin concentration, MDA,SOD,GSH-Px,TAC and NF-κB between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of serum amylase,ALT,TBIL, AST,γ-GT,IL-6,TNF-α,creotoxin concentration,NF-κB and MDA in 2 groups were decreased significantly,while the levels of ALB,SOD,GSH-Px and TAC were increased significantly;the observation group was significantly lower or higher than the con-trol group,with statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compound ginkgo leaf granules can significantly decrease serum amylase,protect liver function, with good safety. The mechanismmay be inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors,improving oxidative stress reactions,reduce the concentration of creotoxin and inhibiting the activity of NF-κB.

Objective To analyses the CT characteristics of primary malignant ovarian tumors and metastatic ovarian carcinoma and its diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Methods CT findings in 31 patients with pathologically-proved malignant ovarian tumors,encountered during 1999-04~2003-11 were retrospectively analyzed.The observation of the lesion was focused on the following aspects:location,internal density,septa,wall,intra-cystic and extra-cystic vegetation,the composition of the soft tissue,ascites,peritoneum,mental implantation and metastatic lymphadenopathy.The characteristic of each in both primary malignant ovarian tumor and metastatic ovarian tumor were compared.Results Among the 24 primary malignant ovarian tumors,13 patients had lesions in both sides of ovary,type Ⅱa:n=3,Type Ⅱb:n=11,Type Ⅱc:n=7,Type Ⅲ:n=3.Among the metastatic ovarian carcinomas,Type Ⅱa:n=6,Type Ⅱc:n=1.Conclusion Type Ⅱb and Ⅱc are commonly seen in primary malignant ovarian tumors.Type Ⅱa is always seen in metastatic ovarian carcinoma.The metastatic tumors often happen in the right peritoneum,epiploon,and liver."arborization and silk screen likely"are the characteristic representation of the metastatic ovarian carcinoma.

Objective To explore the role of CD73 in Toxoplasma gondii (T. Gondii) infection; To verify the host cells absent with CD73 would have less infection and replication of T. Gondii. Methods CD73 knockout and wild-type mice were infected with 20 cysts of ME 49 by oral gavage. The survival rate, clinic symptoms, pathology in the gut, and cytokine production were investigated in infected mice. Macrophages and dendritic cells with CD73-/- and CD73+/+ were infected with RH-YFP. The infective rates, the number of intracellular RH-YFP in the host cells, and the replication of intracellular RH-YFP were detected in these two type cells. Results CD73 knockout mice had a higher survival rate and milder clinic presentation with less morphologies in the gut in the acute T. Gondii infection compared with wild-type mice. CD73-/- macrophages and dentritic cells had less T. Gondii infection, and less intracellular parasite number and replication compared with CD73+/+ macrophages and dentritic cells in vitro. Conclusions CD73 as a GPI-anchored surface protein of host cell might be involved in forming the parasite vacuole, and promote the parasite's attachment and invasion of host eeUs. Host cells absence with CD73 would be less infection and replication of T. Gondii, and relative resistant parasites infection.

Objective To evaluate the safety of myomectomy by extrusion in cesarean section , in comparison with routine cesarean delivery. Methods From January 2008 to December 2010, a total of 128 operations of myomectomy by extrusion in cesarean section were performed (Myoma Group), while another group of 128 cases undergoing caesarean section , which respectively followed every cases of the Myoma Group but had no hysteromyoma , was selected as the control group .The amount and rate of postpartum hemorrhage , the level of postpartum fever , and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups were compared , respectively. Results In the two groups:the amount of postpartum hemorrhage was (233.6 ±58.9) ml vs.(228.5 ±90.9) ml (t=0.530, P=0.597); the rate of postpartum hemorrhage was 0% (0/128) vs.0.8% (1/128) (P=1.000); the decrease of haemoglobin was (6.17 ±2.83) g/L vs.(6.89 ±3.09) g/L (t=-1.944, P=0.053); the decrease of hematocrit was 2.22%± 0.98%vs.2.27%±1.02% (t=-0.400, P=0.690); the rate of postpartum fever was 2.3% (3/128) vs.5.5% (7/128) (χ2 =1.665, P=0.197);the length of postoperative hospital stay was (4.2 ±0.8) d vs.(4.1 ±1.2) d (t=0.706, P=0.481). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the abovementioned parameters . Conclusions The myomectomy by extrusion in cesarean section does not increase the level of postpartum hemorrhage and the rate of postpartum infections .It is a simple, minimally invasive , safe and feasible surgical method , being worthy of clinical application .

This article analyzes the forward and backward feedback pathways between cones and horizontal cells in the Cascade model and sets up a Hopfield Network to simulate the interaction mechanism.Additionally,it appears that the phase character of horizontal cell is connected with spectrum and a CMAC Network is established to simulate the mapping process.This article aims to indicate that the mapping of horizontal cell and spectrum might be the underlying way for retina to code the signal from spectral input.

Objective To determine the prevalence of renal artery stenosis (RAS) and the efficacy of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) and stenting in patients with documented coronary artery disease.Methods Selective renal artery angiography or abdominal digital subtraction angiography was performed immediately after coronary angiography to detect and quantify RAS in 200 consecutive patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Eight severe stenotic renal arteries in 7 patients were treated with PTRA and stenting. All the lesions are considered to be atherosclerotic. Results RAS (defined as ≥50% diameter stenosis) was detected in 21 of 200 patients (10.5%) and 19 of 99 patients with coronary artery disease (19.2%) who had at least one coronary artery of ≥50% diameter stenosis. Procedure success rate was 100% in the 7 patients received PTRA and stenting. Blood pressure control improved in 74.1% patients with hypertension. Angiographic follow up was done in 3 patients in 3 to 9 months and no restenosis was found in the vessels.Conclusions It is necessary to routinely perform RAS for the patients with coronary artery discase undergoing coronary angiography to identify RAS, especially in those associated with hypertension, so as to diagnose and treat RAS in early stage. PTRA and stenting carries high success rate and appears to be an effective and safe treatment for RAS.
