Objective To evaluate the clinical application of Hawkeye VG SPECT/CT imaging on diagnosing and locating lower gastrointestinal bleeding using in vivo labeling 99Tcm-RBC.Methods Fiftysix patients (42 males,14 females,age ranging from 10 to 76 years) who had definite lower gastrointestinal bleeding were studied retrospectively.All patients had intravenous injection with 370 MBq 99Tcm-RBC and then underwent planar,SPECT,and CT imaging respectively in the abdomen before exploratory laparotomy.Images from SPECT and CT were fused thereafter to locate the active bleeder,if any.x2 test was performed to show the differences of diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy between planar and SPECT/CT imaging.Results In 56 patients with lower gastrointestinal bleeding,50 patients showed abnormally concentrated radionuclide activity with planar images and 52 patients showed the similar imaging pattern with SPECT/CT.Among these patients,concordant bleeding with operation findings was found in 31 patients with planar images and 48 patients with SPECT/CT images.The sensitivity and accuracy were 89.3％ (50/56) and 73.8％ (31/42) in planar images,and 92.9％ (52/56) and 92.3％ (48/52) in SPECT/CT images (x2 =0.11,P＞0.05 ;x2 =4.63,P＜0.05).Conclusion Hawkeye VG SPECT/CT imaging shows an effective,simple and accurate method and could be used for diagnosing and locating lower gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objective To investigate the clinical and laboratory characteristics of anticentromere antibody (ACA)and anti-SSA antibody expressions in patients with Primary Sj(o)gren's Syndrome (PSS). Methods Twelve PSS patients with ACA positive but SSA negative(ACA PSS)and 19 PSS patients with SSA positive but ACA negative(SSA PSS)were enrolled into the study and classified into two groups. We compared the age,laboratory data,occurrence of Raynaud's phenomenon(RP),and histological changes in minor labial salivary glands biopsies of the patients from two group. Results The mean age of the ACA PSS group(68.4 ± 7.9)years was significantly higher than that of the SSA PSS(54. 6 ± 16. 2)years group(P ＜ 0. 05). Serum IgG level of ACA PSS group(17. 89 ±4. 08)g/L was close to the normal range,which was significantly lower than that of SSA PSS(27.90 ±6. 72)(P ＜0. 01). Leukocytopenia was less frequently observed in ACA PSS than in SSA PSS(P ＜ 0. 05),the difference between two groups was statistically significant. We also found more frequent RP in the ACA PSS group than SSA PSS group(P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions Our data confirm that ACA positive PSS differs from SSA positive PSS at several clinical respects and laboratorial examinations.

Objective To investigate the relevance between protein expression and methylation of MG-MT and hMSH2 in glioma patimts.Methods Immunohistochemical and methylation specific PCR were adopted respectively to test on 275 cases of glioma patients for the protein expression and methylation situation of MGMT and hMSH2.Results The negative protein expression rate of MGMT and hMSH 2 in the tissue of brain golima were 47.2% and 62.5% respectively;the occurrence of methylation in gene promoter region were accordingly 41.8% and 22.4%.Statistical analysis revealed that MGMT promoter methylation in peripheral blood gene groups was related with the protein negative expression of tumor tissue (P<0.05),while there was no relationship between the protein expression of hMSH2 and its gene promoter methylation(P>0.05).Conclusion The meth-ylation of MGMT is a common molecular situation in the generation of brain glioma ,which may be connected with that of tumor.However,hMSH2 promoter methylation might not the main reason for inactivation of hMSH 2 pro-tein,there may be other important factors affecting its expression .

Objective To study the theraputic effect of cyclophosphamide,glucocorticoid combined with sildenafil on pulmonary hypertension in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE?PAH) patients,and to analyze the prognosis adverse factors. Methods Forty?six cases patients with SLE?PAH from Tangshan Gongren Hospital from January 2009 to January 2015 were selected as research subjects. All patients were treated with prednisone, cyclophosphamide and sildenafil,and the course of treatment was 24 weeks. The treatment effect was observed, the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity score(SLEDAI),6 minutes walk distance and heart function before and after the treatment were compared.

BACKGROUND:The non-specific immune suppression method is generaly used for treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, but poor prognosis, such as infection and high recurrence rate, exists.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on systemic lupus erythematosus in mice.
METHODS:Sixteen mice with systemic lupus erythematosus were equivalently randomized into control and experimental groups, or then subjected to passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation or the equal volume of normal saline via the tail vein, respectively. Mouse urine samples were colected to detect urine protein levels by Bradford method. Blood samples from the tip of the mouse tail were extracted to detect serum anti-ds-DNS antibody concentration by radioimmunoassay. Mouse kidney tissues were taken and observed pathohistologicaly through hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry staining under microscope. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD4+CD25+T cels in the inner canthus blood, fresh spleen and thymus.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Within 10 weeks after cel transplantation, the urine protein levels in the two groups were gradualy increased, and the rising velocity was higher in the control group than in the experimental group. From the 4th to 10th week, the urine protein levels in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). In the control group, lymphocyte infiltration was visible in the kidney tissues with a few of plasmocytes, and pathological findings showed the mice presented with interstitial nephritis; in the experimental group, the mice had no pathological changes in the kidney. In the two groups, immune complexes were found in the mesangial area, which showed a patch-like distribution in the control group and a punctate distribution in the experimental group; the relative proportion of the occupied area in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group. The expression level of CD4+CD25+T cels in the blood and thymus were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05), and the expression level of CD4+CD25+T cels in the spleen was slightly higher in the experimental group than the control group with no significant difference (P > 0.05). The serum anti-ds-DNA antibody concentration in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Taken together, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can improve the pathological damage in systemic lupus erythematosus mice, and has a certain therapeutic effect on systemic lupus erythematosus.

BACKGROUND: For patients with myocardial infarction occupied most of the heart, the effect of coronary artery bridge is not obvious. Currently, myocardial and vascular regeneration by stem cells has become a focus of ischemic cardiovascular disease. Myocardial survival directly correlates with improvement of blood perfusion following stem cell transplantation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of ~(18)F-FDG and ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI single photon emission computed tomography imaging in assessing myocardial glucose metabolism and perfusion with old myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and CD34~+ stem cell transplanting. METHODS: Bone marrow was extracted from the anterior superior iliac spine 1 day before surgery. Mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. CD34~+ cells were isolated and purified by immunomagnetic bead system. Coronary artery pathological changes were examined under general anesthesia. The end-to-side anastomosis of graft vessel and coronary artery was performed. 1×10~(11)/L CD34~+ cell suspension was extracted, and injected into the surrounding and center of the infarct (blood flow/metabolism matching depletion) at 6 points, with 0.2 mL in each point. According to preoperative perfusion/metabolism imaging, myocardium segments were divided into two groups: match group: blood perfusion and metabolism images were sparse or normal, i.e. infarction or normal myocardium; mismatch group: blood perfusion image displayed depletion, but metabolism images were normal or radially distributed, i.e. surviving myocardium. ~(18)F-FDG and ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI dual-isotopic imaging were performed before and 4 months after CABG. Circumferential count profiles from ~(18)F-FDG and ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI short axis slices were generated to assess myocardial blood perfusion and glucose metabolism. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The 31 patients were divided into 279 segments, and 145 segments were in myocardial perfusion-metabolism mismatch (MM). ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI and ~(18)F-FDG uptake fraction was significantly increased 4 months before operation (P < 0.01); match group without transplanting had 81 segments, and the ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI and ~(18)F-FDG uptake fraction remained unchanged after operation (P > 0.05). Match group undergoing transplanting had 54 segments, and their ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI and ~(18)F-FDG uptake fraction increased remarkably 4 months after operation (P < 0.01). CABG can improve the function of survival myocardial segments, but it is helpless to infraction myocardium. The autologous CD34~+ stem cell transplantation can improve myocardial blood perfusion and glucose metabolism of the distributions of infract myocardium.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Xuebijing injection pretreatment on systemic inflammatory response induced by severe heat-stroke, and to investigate the mechanism of alleviation of intestinal injury in rats. Methods Thirty-six healthy adult male Wistar rats with grade SPF were randomly assigned into three groups with randomized number method, namely sham group, severe heat-stroke model group, and Xuebijing pretreatment group (XBJ group), with 12 rats in each group. The animals were placed in a pre-warm chamber [temperature (40±2)℃, humidity (65±5)%] in order to induce typical heat-stroke. The duration of heat-stress was 60 minutes, while the animals in sham group were exposed to ambient temperature of 25℃. Arterial blood samples were collected at the beginning and the end of heat-stress, the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in peripheral blood were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The intestinal tissues were harvested after heat-stress, and the pathological changes in intestine tissues were observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and under optical microscope. The pathological injury scores were calculated. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in intestinal tissue. Apoptosis was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. Western Blot was used to measure the tight junction protein occludin expression.Results The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and LPS in blood of the rats after heat-stress in model group were significantly higher than those of sham group [TNF-α (μg/L): 443.00±110.10 vs. 98.36±44.61, IL-1β (μg/L): 436.37±163.64 vs. 64.24±16.15, IL-6 (μg/L): 342.70±92.42 vs. 54.40±13.22, LPS (μg/L): 0.68±0.22 vs. 0.09±0.02, allP< 0.01], but the levels of these parameters in XBJ group were significantly lower than those of model group [TNF-α (μg/L):340.45±68.57 vs. 443.00±110.10, IL-1β (μg/L): 191.33±82.78 vs. 436.37±163.64, IL-6 (μg/L): 192.21±37.89 vs. 342.70±92.42, LPS (μg/L): 0.43±0.17 vs. 0.68±0.22, allP< 0.01]. Infiltration of inflammatory cells, necrosis and hemorrhage in intestinal mucosa were found in the intestine of heat-stroke animals in model group. The pathological lesions in XBJ group were milder than those of model group, with a decreased pathological injury score compared with model group (2.10±1.15 vs. 3.20±0.67,P< 0.01). The expression of iNOS and apoptosis of cells in intestinal tissue in model group were increased compared with that of sham group, but they were significantly less marked in XBJ group compared with model group [iNOS (adjustedA value): 0.32±0.15 vs. 0.74±0.17, apoptotic index: 0.23±0.08 vs. 0.56±0.07, bothP< 0.01]. The order of expression for occludin protein from high to low was sham group, XBJ group and model group (A value was 0.96±0.25, 0.62±0.20, 0.33±0.11, respectively). Furthermore, there was significant difference in the expression of occludin protein between model group and both XBJ group and sham group (bothP<0.01).Conclusions Xuebijing injection alleviates inflammation and endotoxemia produced by severe heat-stroke in rats. The mechanism may be related to amelioration of oxidative injury, apoptosis, and dysfunction of tight junction protein occludin expression.

To ensure the safety of the commercially available chenpi, a convenient and fast analytical method was developed for the determination of 133 pesticide residues in chenpi using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). In this study, different extraction solvents, redissolution solvents and adsorbents were tested according to the recovery and purification effect to obtain a modified QuEChERS method. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile. During the clean-up step, octadecyl-modified silica (C18) and graphitized carbon black (GCB) were selected, and aminopropyl (NH2) was used instead of primary secondary amine (PSA) because of its weaker ion exchange capacity which had little effect on the recovery of ditalimfos. Samples were quantified by matrix-matched calibration with internal stan-dards. All pesticides showed good linearity in the respective range, both with values of r2 >0.99. The average recoveries of the pesticides spiked samples ranged from 70.0％ to 112.2％ with the RSDs of 0.2％–14.4％. The modified QuEChERS method was validated and applied to twenty real samples. Five pesticides were found in eight batches, but no pesticide exceeded the maximum residue limits (MRL, MRL reference to European commission).
