Objective To assess the feasibility of intestitial MR lymphangiography (MRL) with subcutaneous injection of a commercially available,non-ionic,extracellular paramagnetic contrast agent,to visualize lymphatic vessels in patients with primary lymphedema.Methods Forty lower extremities in 31 patients with clinically advanced stages of primary lymphedema were examined with magnetic resonance lymphangiography.A 1 ml mixed liquor of gadobenate dimeglumine and mepivacainhydrochloride were injected subcutaneously into the dorsal aspect of both feet For MRL,a 3D fast spoiled gradient-recalled echo T1-weighted images with a fat saturation technique (T1 high resolution isotropic volume excitation,THRIVE) were performed after subcutaneous application of the contrast material To outline lymphatic vessels,source images were used to reconstruct images of MIP.The SNR and CNR of enhanced lymphatic vessels and veins were measured and calculated respectively.The significance of the differences of the data comparisons was assessed using an unpaired student t teat.Results Of the 40 lower extremities,the beaded appearance of dilated lymphatic vessels was detected in 36 lower legs (90.0%) and 17 upper legs (42.5%).The numbers of the dilated lymphatic vessels displayed in all segments of lower extremities added up to 365 and its mean diameter was (3.4 ± 0.1) mm on MRL MIP image.The average SNR and CNR were 257 ±130,207 ± 113 in the dilated lymphatic vessels and 218 ± 129,152 ± 113 in the vein respectively,which was statistically significant (SNR t = -2.649,CNR t = -3.404,P <0.01).Contrast enhancement was observed in 30/40 inguinal lymph node groups (75.0%).In 26 lower extremities (65.0%) collateral vessels with dermal back-flow areas between lymphatic vessels were seen.Conclusions As a novel tool to image the pathologically modified lymphatic vessels in patients with clinically advanced stage of primary lymphedema,magnetic resonance lymphangiography is a safe,useful technique.

Objective To assess the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at different frequencies on behavioral and psychological symptoms and cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease.Methods Seventy-two patients were randomly divided into a high frequency group,a low frequency group and a control group (n =24 for each),and given 10 Hz,1 Hz or sham rTMS over the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at an intensity was 80％ of each patient's movement threshold.The stimulation was for 30 min a day,five days a week.During the 4 weeks of treatment,risperidone was used at a fixed dose of 1 mg per day for all patients.Before and after the treatment,all 3 groups were assessed using the behavioral pathology in Alzheimer's disease rating scale (BEHAVE-AD) and the mini-mental state examination (MMSE).Results Two weeks after the treatment,the average BEHAVE-AD score of the high frequency group had decreased significantly from (16.75±6.26) to (13.84± 6.10),significantly lower than the low frequency and the control groups' averages.Two weeks later,the average BEHAVE-AD scores of the 3 groups were significantly lower than before the treatment,but the decrease of the high frequency group was of significantly greater compared to the other 2 groups.Four weeks after the treatment the average MMSE score of the high frequency group was significantly better than before the treatment (P＜0.01),and better than the low frequency and the control group's averages.The effectiveness rates of the high frequency group,the low frequency group and the control group were 88％,58％ and 54％ respectively,all significantly different.Conclusion High frequency (10 Hz) rTMS combined with risperidone can improve the behavioral and psychological symptoms and cognitive function of AD patients,while low frequency (1Hz) rTMS does not have obvious effects.

Tissue blotting, based on Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), is a technique for detection of plant viruses. This technique is not only high sensitivity and specificity, but also simpler and more rapid for detection. Samples that are blotted on membrane can be kept over three months. The results can directly display the section of virus infected. It is especially suitable for detection of plant viruses on a large scale.

Objective To investigate the effects of total nutrient admixture (TNA) on the recovery of patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy.Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College between March 2013 and March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Among 50 patients receiving radical gastrectomy,26 patients receiving TNA were allocated to the experimental group and 24 patients receiving conventional fluid infusion were allocated to the control group.Patients in the experimental group received the nutritional support therapy using TNA at preoperative day 5 and at postoperative days 1-5,and patients in the control group received the postoperative intravenous rehydration including water,glucose,electrolyte,vitamins and micro elements.The nutritional indexes [albumin (Alb),prealbumin,transferrin and hemoglobin (Hb)],time to anal exsufflation,incidence of complications (wound infection,anastomotic leakage,blooding and intestinal obstruction) and duration of hospital stay were observed before nutritional support therapy and at postoperative day 8.The count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.The chi-square value of correction for continuity was used when 1 ≤ minimum theoretical frequency ≤ 5.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as (x) ±s and analyzed using the t test or repeated measures ANOVA.The ordinal data were analyzed by the analysis of variance.Results The Alb,prealbumin,transferrin and Hb in the experimental group were (38.6 ± 2.0) g/L,(281 ± 33) mg/L,(2.5 ± 0.9) g/L and (111 ± 20) g/L before nutritional support therapy and (38.2 ± 1.9) g/L,(277 ± 16) mg/L,(2.3 ± 1.1) g/L and (112 ± 37) g/L at postoperative day 8,respectivley.The Alb,prealbumin,transferrin and Hb in the control group were (38.3 ±2.4) g/L,(287 ± 34) mg/L,(2.4 ± 1.1) g/L and (107 ± 21) g/L before nutritional support therapy and (30.3 ±2.3) g/L,(190 ± 41) mg/L,(1.6 ± 0.3) g/L and (93 ± 22) g/L at postoperative day 8,respectivley.There were significant differences in the nutritional indexes at postoperative day 8 between the 2 groups (F =174.042,95.637,9.529,4.919,P ＜ 0.05).The time to anal exsufflation in the experimental group were (52 ± 11) hours,which was significantly different from (70 ± 12) hours in the control group (t =-5.176,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of complications was 15.4％ (4/26) in the experimental group,which was significantly different from 58.3％ (14/24) in the control group (x2=6.460,P ＜0.05).Patients with complications in the 2 groups were cured by anti-infective or symptomatic treatment.The duration of hospital stay was (9 ± 3) days in the experimental group and (12 ± 4) days in the control group,with a significant difference between the 2 groups (t =-2.912,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion TNA can improve the nutritional status of patients after radical gastrectomy in a short time.It could help patients to get through the perioperative period smoothly,and enhance the postoperative recovery.

ObjectiveTo study the effects on growth characteristics of cells mutated by outer space. Methods5 tumor cell lines and 1 bio-pharmaceutical cell line were carried in the recoverable satellite No.18 and returned after 18 days flying in outer space.The cell living systems were utilized in passive carrying. Some survival cells were monocoloned, and the experimental methods such as cell morphological observation,MTT assay and FACS were used for analysis of cell growth characteristics. ResultsThe survival cell rates of tumor cell lines and bio-pharmaceutical cells were markedly different. Compared with the control group, mutated cells appeared to have multiple cell morphological changes and the cell number of G1 phase was increased markedly (P<0.05). Growth rate in mutated cells were varied without specific discipline. ConclusionEffects of outer space on growth characteristics were complicated and multiplex in mutated cells,which were not all heredity in further passage. The differences of the monoclonal cell lines provide the potential to obtain optimizing cell lines by screen.
