Object To study the effects of chronic prenatal exposure to cocaine on hepar in the newborn rabbit at birth. Methods The pregnant Japan long ear white rabbits were divided randomly into cocaine group( N =12) and normal control( N =12). Pregnant rabbits were treated with cocaine hydrochloride 5 mg/kg or normal saline 1 ml/kg intravenously, one time daily from day 15 of pregnancy until day 30 respectively. Serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST), albumin(ALB), total bilirubin(T BIL), hepatic glutathione(GSH) were examined. Results (1)The levels of serum AST, T-BIL were significantly higher in the cocaine group than that in the control group( P

Objective To investigate the value of ultrasound guided autobiopsy technology in interventional diagnosis of pulmo-nary peripheral disease .Methods 117 cases of pulmonary peripheral disease proved by X-ray or CT ,confirmed by ultrasound ,but could not be identified the nature by the examination above ,were biopsied under the guidance of ultrasound .Results All the 117 ca-ses were biopsed successfully .115 cases of them had definite pathological results ,the pathological positivity rate was 98 .3% ,in which contained 20 cases of chronic inflammation ,14 cases of tuberculosis ,30 cases of squamous cell carcinoma ,45 cases of adeno-carcinoma ,6 cases small cell undifferentiated carcinoma .No complication ,such as pneumatothorax ,hemoptysis ,bleeding occurred during the operation .Conclusion The ultrasound guided autobiopsy technology in interventional diagnosis of pulmonary peripheral disease is a safe and effective technique ,the tissues obtained from ultrasound guided autobiopsy were adequate to pathological slide which can provide the basis of the clinical diagnosis .

Objective To investigate the effects of ultrasound combined with microbubbles on intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in carboplatin ( CBP )-treated A549 cell and its possible mechanisms of inhibiting A549 cell line activity . Methods According to whether SonoVue was used or not ,and the different dose of CBP ,the groups A-F were arranged as the ultrasound(US) group(group A) ,the ultrasound combined with microbubbles ( USMB) group( group B) ,the low dose CBP ( 100 μg/ml) + US group( group C) ,the low dose CBP+USMB group( group D) ,the high dose CBP ( 200 μg/ml)+ US group ( group E) and the high dose CBP+USMB group( group F) .A549 cells were bathed and washed by a calcium-free buffer , loaded with Ca2+ indicator fluo-4 AM . Real-time images were acquired using laser confocal microscopy .The fluorescence intensity of intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+ ]i) in individual living cell was observed and the calcium overload was analyzed . Results After ultrasound irradiation ,the normalized fluorescence intensity of [Ca2+ ]i increased rapidly ,then returned to a new homeostasis (selected cells in groups A ,B ,E ,F) or experienced a second calcium oscillation ( some cells in group C and D) . All the selected cells in group B and some cells in group C and D exhibited superimposed oscillations . The calcium overloading time in group D was longer than those of any other groups . Four cells in group A experienced delayed calcium oscillations . Compared with group A ,the selected cells in other groups exhibited a larger amplitude of calcium oscillation( all P < 0 .05) and the selected cells in group B and D exhibited calcium oscillation for a longer period of time( all P <0 .05) . Conclusions In the calcium-free buffer ,US ,USMB , CBP+ US ,CBP + USMB are direct stimuli of calcium overload in A 549 cells . SonoVue ,CBP ,CBP +SonoVue are all synergistic stimuli of calcium overload in A 549 cells irradiated by ultrasound .US ,USMB and CBP may synergistically induce calcium release from intracellular store sites in A 549 cells . Calcium overload is a possible mechanism of ultrasound combined with microbubbles in assisting CBP chemotherapy .
