Methods p21WAF1 and Bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry and apoptotic cells were stained in situ by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated-dUTP nick end labeling(TUNAL) in 46 cases of primary gallbladder neoplasms with different histological grades. Results Apoptotic index and p21WAF1 were decreased,but the expression of Bcl-2 was increased with the increasing of the histological grades in primary gallbladder neoplasms (P

Objective:Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) is increasingly being introduced in the clinic,both for diagnostics and image guidance.Although dedicated 3D US probes exist,because of its expensive cost,3D US can also be acquired with the still frequently used two-dimensional (2D) US probes.Methods:Obtaining 3D volumes with 2D US probes is a two-step process.First,a positioning sensor must be attached to the probe for 2D image matching;second,a reconstruction of a 3D volume can be performed into a regular voxel grid.Results:This paper presents a way to realize the 3D US in irled-based Image Guided Radiotherapy using a homemade 2D US.Conclusions:The experiments demonstrate a method of saving costs and having advantages in clinic application.

Objective To report the clinical and pathological features of chronic graft-versus-host disease-related polymyositis by summarizing the clinical data of the patient with chronic graft-versus-host disease-related polymyositis. Methods One patient with chronic graft-versus-host disease-related polymyositis was hospitalized in our hospital on December 29,2010.The patient,40 years old,female,underwent allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation because of acute granulocytic-monocytic leukemia.Fourteen months later she manifested as slowly progressive muscle weakness and myalgia in all limbs.Serum creatine kinase level was between 426-1948 U/L. Myositis antibody EJ was strongly positive.Electromyogram showed a neurogenic impairment and slow peripheral nerve conduction speed.Muscle biopsies were carried out in the left biceps brechii.In addition of standard histological and enzyme histochemical staining for the muscle sections,immunohistochemical workup was performed with mouse antiCDs,anti-CD20,anti-CD68 and anti major histocompatibility complex- Ⅰ ( MHC- Ⅰ ) monoclonal antibodies as first antibodies.Results The muscle biopsy showed large variation of fiber size,with muscle fiber necrosis,regeneration.Some angular fibers distributed in small cluster.The inflammatory cells infiltrated around the small vessel or in the endomysium,mainly CD8+ T-lymphocytes and CD6+8 macrophages.The most muscle fibers were MHC-Ⅰ positive. Conclusion The graft-versus-host disease-related polymyositis manifests as chronic myositis process with neurogenic lesions.

Objective To establish a method of quantiying trace α-galactosidase from Bacteroides fragilis in enzymatic conversion of blood group B to O red blood cells ( B-ECO RBCs) .Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with purified recombinant B.fragilisα-galactosidase ( the purity>90%) to prepare monoclonal antibodies.The ascites were prepared using hybridoma cell lines stably secreting antibody and purified by HiTrap rProtein A column.The antibody titer and spe-cificity were detected by ELISA and Western blotting, respectively.Purified monoclonal antibody and rabbit polyclonal an-tibody were applied to detect residual enzyme in B-ECO RBCs and the washing solution was analyzed by indirect ELISA. Results A high titer and purity antibody was obtained.Western blotting showed that the antibody specifically reacted with B.fragilisα-galactosidase.Moreover, indirect ELISA was sensitive enough to detect the minimal amount of residualα-gal-actosidase at the concentration of 1 ng/ml.After four repeat washing cycles with 1∶4 ( v/v) phosphate-buffered saline, the amount of residual enzyme in B-ECO RBCs was less than 10 ng/ml.Conclusion An effective method of detecting the min-imal amount of residual α-galactosidase in blood conversion is established for safety evaluation of universal RBCs prepara-tion by enzymatic treatment.

Objective To examine the difference of neurological soft signs (NSS) among the remittent schizophrenia patients,first-degree non-psychotic relatives of schizophrenia patients and healthy controls.Methods The Cambridge Neurological Inventory (CNI) (the Chinese version) was administered to 86 remittent schizophrenia patients (patient group),86 first-degree non-psychotic relatives of schizophrenia patients (relative group) and 86 healthy controls (control group).Results Compared with relative group,NSS total-score,the subscore of motor coordination and sensory integration were significantly higher in patient group (P＜0.01).Compared with control group,NSS total-score,the subscore of motor coordination and sensory integration were significantly higher in patient group (P＜0.01).Compared with control group,NSS total-score and the subscore of motor coordination were significantly higher in relative group (P＜0.01).Conclusions The levels of NSS in remittent schizophrenia patients and their first-degree non-psychotic relatives are higher than normal control,and the patients have more NSS than their relatives.The motor coordination nay be a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on brachial plexus block with ropivacaine and upper extremity ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in patients undergoing upper extremity surgery. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged 18-55 yr, weighing 45-80 kg, scheduled forupper extremity surgery under brachial plexus block, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): control group ( group C )and dexmedtomidine group (group D). In group C, brachial plexus block was performed using 0.5% ropivacaine 30 ml. In group D, brachial plexus block was performed with a mixture (30 ml) of 0.5% ropivacaine and 8 mg dexmedetomidine. The efficacy of motor and sensory block was evaluated and the onset time and duration of motor and sensory block were recorded. Venous blood samples were obtained from peripheral vein on the operated side before anesthesia induction (T0), and at 1, 5 and 30 min after tourniquet release (T1-3) to detect the plasma concentrations of MDA and ischemia-modified albumi (IMA). Arterial blood samples were also obtained at the same time points for blood gas analysis. The complications such as nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, bradycardia and dizziness were recorded. Sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg was given as rescue medication. If the operation could not be completed, general anesthesia was used. Results There was no requirement for rescue analgesics and general anesthesia, and no complications occurred in all the patients. The duration of sensory and motor block was significantly longer, the plasma concentrations of MDA and IMA were significantly lower, and PaO2 and BE were significantly higher in group D than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05). The plasma concentrations of MDA and IMA were significantly higher at T2 and T3 in both groups, the pH value was significantly lower at T1 in group C, PaO2 at T1 and BE at T1 and T2 were significantly lower in both groups than those at T0 ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can not only enhance the efficacy of brachial plexus block with ropivacaine, but also reduce the upper extremity I/R injury caused by tourniquet in patients undergoing upper extremity surgery.

Objective To evaluate the effect of low-dose colonic CT scanning in image quality and lesion revealing with different noise idex.Methods Model group:in order to find the optimal scanning parameter range,small simulated polyps in pig colon was prepared and mA was modulated by regulating noise index.Images were reprocessed with CT colonography and Raysum reconstructions.Image quality and the lesion revealing situation were evaluated and scored based on both reconstructive and axial images.The study of patient group was prospective and continuous.All positive cases were comfirmed by biopsy or surgery pathology.Two groups of patients were enrolled.First group(39 cases from January 2007 to June 2007):patients were divided into three sub-groups randomly(15 cages with NI=10,13 cases with NI:13,11 cases with NI=16),while NI was not changed with position.Second group(32 cases from Jury 2007 to January 2008):patients were scanned and NI was changed with different position(NI=10,20).The average X-ray radiation values of two patient groups were compared with standard values.All data were processed with rank sum tesL Results First group:when NI=10,the average scores of axial and constructive images were 4.2 and 2.4 respectively,when NI=13,those were 3.2 and 2.5 respectively,When NI=16.those were 2.9 and 2.7 respectively.and the average CTDlw were 17.51,12.90 and 5.94 mGy respectively.When NI increased,the average scores of axial decreased(H=20.01,P＜0.01),the average scores of constructive images did not changed(H=0.81,P＞0.05).Second group:when NI=10,the average scores of axial and constructive images were respectively 3.6 and 2.3,when NI=20,those were 2.2 and 2.3 respectively,and the average CTDIw was 11.63 mGy.When NI increased from 10 to 20,the average scores of axial decreased(H=20.84,P＜0.01),the average scores of constructive images did not decreased(H=0.29,P＞0.05).In the first group,the average CTDIw wag reduced by 35.0%,52.1%and 77.9%respectively when NI was 10,13 and 16.In the second group,the average CTDIw Was reduced by 56.8%.Conclusions Auto-mA low-dose CT scanning could reduce X-ray radiation obviously,while not affecting image quality.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of using comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in estimating if standard dose treatment is fit for the elderly patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma.Methods.Comprehensive geriatric assessments including three assessments of activity of daily living,instrumental activity of daily living and comorbidity scoring according to Cumulative Illness Rating Score for Geriatrics were adopted to assess if standard dose treatment is fit for the elderly patients in our prospective study.Thirty seven patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma,aged ＞70 years were enrolled in the study,and grouped into fit,unfit and frail groups according to comprehensive geriatric assessment scoring and their age.The treatment protocolswere not determined by comprehensive geriatric assessment scores,but by clinical judgments made by clinicians based on their clinical experience and disease features.The clinically effective response and overall survival (OS) were analyzed in the three groups.Results According to CGA scores,patients were grouped into fit [21 cases (56.8％)],unfit [7 (18.9％)] and frail [9 (24.3％)].37 cases received 213 courses of treatment at average 5.76 courses per case.The overall response (complete / partial remission) rates were [85.7％(18/21) vs.28.6％ (2/7) vs.44.4％ (4/9),x2=9.69,P=0.008] and median survival times were (44 months vs.10 months vs.9 months;x2 =7.03,P=0.03) among fit,unfit and frail groups with statistically significant differences.Total effective rate (achieving all clinical targets) in fit group of 21 cases were 100 ％ (12/12)with receiving standard dose therapy,and 66.7％ of(6/9)with low dose therapy(P=0.06).Overall response rate(total/partial remission) [85.7％(18/21) vs.28.6％(2/7) vs.44.4％(4/9),x2=9.69,P=0.008] and median survival (44 months vs.10 months vs.9 months;x2 =7.03,P=0.03) amongfit,unfit and frail groups.In fit group,the two-year overall survival was higher in patients receiving standard dose treatment than receivingpalliativetreatment,with statistical significance [83.3 ％ (10/12) vs.33.3 ％ (3/9),P =0.032],without significant hematologic toxicity observed between the subgroups.Conclusions Comprehensive geriatric assessment can identify if elderly patients diffuse large B cell lymphoma can acquire a satisfactory curative effect from a standard dose treatment ofimmunochemotherapy.
