The Value of SMI in the Evaluation of interventional therapy of liver cancer / 中华肝脏病杂志

Objective@#To evaluate the value of super microvascular imaging(SMI) for evaluating the effect of interventional therapy of liver cancer.@*Methods@#A total of 30 patients with 40 leisions were enrolled in this study, from the tumor intervention department in the third affiliated hospital of suzhou university.This patients were underwent TACE, after the treatment 1 month, CDFI, SMI, and CT were study respectively. Using the continuity correction McNemar matching chi-square test, with P < 0.05 for the standard , CDFI and SMI shows the difference in monitoring the microvascular imaging in and around the tumors leisions.@*Results@#A total of 30 patients, 12 cases were primary liver cancer (7 cases combined with liver cirrhosis), 18cases were metastatic liver cancer; 30 cases including 25 single and 5 multiple. Significant difference were found between CT and SMI in detecting blood flows inside the lesion (χ² = 8.642 9, P < 0.05), and were also found between CT and CDFI in detecting blood flows inside the lesion (χ² = 16.961 5, P < 0.05). The AUROC, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV of CDFI were 0.647, 29.4%、100%、29.4%、100%、20.0%, while in SMI were 0.809, 61.8%、100%、61.7%、100%、31.5%, respectively.@*Conclusions@#SMI SMI can detect the microvascular inside the lesions. This new method was superior to CDFI, achieving the same effect as CT.

Establishment of animal model of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and dual-energy CT imaging / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To establish the animal model of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension(CTEPH) and to compare the accuracy of dual-energy CT (DECT) pulmonary angiography and histopathology for detecting CTEPH. Methods Eighteen canines were included in the study. All canines underwent paracentesis, embolization, CT scanning, pressure measurement and tranexamic acid feeding. The procedures were repeated every two weeks, until systolic/diastolic pressure in canines was≥30/15 mmHg or mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥ 20 mmHg.And then canines were sacrificed for histopathology examination. For CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA)in DE mode and DECT lung perfused blood volume (Lung PBV) images, the presence or absence of PE or perfusion defects were recorded on a per-canineand aper-lobe basis. With histopathological results as reference standard, the sensitivity, specificity of CTPA and lung PBV to detect PE were computed for two readers. The pairedχ2 test (McNemar test) was used to analyze the difference in diagnostic accuracy between CTPA and Lung PBV. Inter-reader agreement was also calculated with kappa test. Results CTEPH was demonstrated in 13 canines. On a per-canine basis, both readers found uneven and peripheral perfusion defects with DECT in 11 canines (84.6%, 11/13); while 5 canines (38.5%, 5/13) had cutoff or sudden stenosis of pulmonary arteries with CTPA;on a per-lobe basis, both readers had sensitivities of 14.3%(5/35), 83.3%(30/36), specificities of 100.0%(30/30), 100.0%(29/29), accuracies of 53.8%(35/65), 90.8%(59/65)for CTPA and DECT, respectively. DECT had a higher sensitivity(χ2=-4.690,P<0.01)and accuracy(χ2=8.284,P<0.01) in detecting CTEPH. Excellent and moderate inter-reader agreements were observed with CTPA and DECT (Kappa=0.938, 0.572, both P<0.001). Conclusions It is feasible to make a CTEPH animal model with autologous thrombus. DECT shows a higher accuracy than CTPA to detect CTEPH in this canine model study.

Practice and Analysis of Drug Consultation in Children's Hospital / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE: To facilitate a rational use of drugs in children to comply with the development of the clinical pharmacy. METHODS: The drug consultation in children's drug use was carried out by means of face to face talk or telephone inquiry between the guardians of children and the pharmacists, and the analysis was performed with exemplification. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: The practice of drug consultation has improved the guardians' consciousness of rational drug use, corrected some errors in drug use, improved pharmacists' professional level, and facilitated the development of the pharmacy in hospital.

The relative bioavailability of glipizide in human body / 医学研究生学报

Objectives:To study the pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of glipizide in healthy male volunteers. Methods:The glipizide concentrations in plasma were determined by HPLC UV. The column: Lichrospher C18 (5 ?m,150 mm?4.6 mm),the mobile phase: methanl∶0.01 mol/L sodium acetale buffer (pH 4.8) (59 ∶41); the flow rate:1 ml/min, the detection wavelength: 225 nm. The test and reference formulations of glipizide were given to 20 healthy male volunteers. Results: The calibration curve was linear within the range of (25～1 000)?g/L, r =0.999 4. The minimum detection limit was 25 ?g/L. The mean recovery was 89.84%, CV of inter day and intra day were no more than 5%.After a single oral dose of 10 mg glipizide test or reference tablet, the main pharmacokinetic parameters AUC 0-15, AUC 0-∞, T max ,C max and t 1/2 were (3 502.78?635.82) , (3 214.23?590.46)?g/( L?h),(3 868.22?699.93), (3 593.94?638.60)?g/(L?h),(3.85?1.44), (3.76?1.13)h, (550.80?110.19), (531.15?148.42)?g/L,(3.57?1.11)h and (3.80?1.06)h ,respectively. The relative bioavailability F 0-15 ,F 0-∞ were (110.6?19.8)% and (108.8?17.9)%. Conclusions: No significant difference exists among the pharmacokinetic parameters for the experimental tablets and the reference. The two formulations were bioequivalent.
