简介:目的探讨计算机X射线摄影(CR)在静脉肾盂造影应用中以满足图像诊断质量和X射线曝光参数(kVp、mAs)的优化组合,使X射线剂量控制在最低,降低被检者的有害X射线辐射量。方法对3组不同体型厚度(18cm、22cm、26cm)的被检者,对每组分别以常规摄影条件,增加kVp、降低mAs进行摄影。以kVp与mAs组合图像质量完全满足诊断要求,剂量最低的参数作为最优参考曝光参数。用体模替代3种被检者体型厚度,用同样摄影曝光参数,分别测量体表、体后及有关被检者器官组织的吸收X射线剂量。结果与常规摄影相比,被检者的X射线吸收剂量平均降低了31.97%,面积乘积剂量平均降低了34.57%,有效剂量降低了33.98%。结论在静脉肾盂造影中用CR成像技术与投照参数优化组合,对降低被检者的X射线吸收剂量是行之有效的,为其他投照部位用CR或数字X射线摄影(DR)数字成像参数优化组合研究提供了指导性的方法,有一定的临床应用价值。

简介:比较双链腺相关病毒(Double-strandedadeno-associatedvirus,dsAAV)及单链AAV(Single-strandedadeno-associatedvirus,ssAAV)介导Exendin-4分泌表达效率。应用基因工程方法构建dsAAV/pSSHG/Exendin-4,与重组ssAAV比较转染NIH3T3细胞效率及转染后细胞上清Exendin-4浓度,免疫组化检测Exendin-4表达。经限制性内切酶及测序证实载体构建成功,测定重组dsAAVpSSHG/Exendin-4滴度为2.5×1011pfu,较重组ssAA滴度高(2.5×109pfu);dsAAV/pSSHG/GFP转染NIH3T3细胞表达绿色荧光强;ELISA法检测感染重组dsAAV的NIH3T3细胞上清中Exendin-4的浓度为181.1±8.75pmol/ml,较重组ssAAV分泌浓度(133.81±8.09pmol/ml)升高(P<0.05);重组dsAAV及ssAAV转染NIH3T3细胞Exendin-4表达均为阳性。重组dsAAV可分泌表达Exendin-4并较ssAAV具有更高效转染能力,为研究Exendin-4功能及应用于临床打下基础。
简介:目的:筛选ATP结合盒E1(ABCE1)基因的相关调节miRNA,为诊治肺癌提供新思路。方法选取20例非小细胞肺癌患者,其中男性13例,女性7例;年龄45~73岁,平均年龄62.9岁。鳞癌11例,腺癌9例。应用生物信息学预测ABCE1基因上游的miRNA,通过实时定量聚合酶链反应(RT-Q-PCR)及免疫组织化学方法,对标本非小细胞癌组织和癌旁组织进行检测,并进行统计学分析,从中筛选出目的miRNA。结果生物信息软件预测7个最有可能调节ABCE1基因的miRNA,分别为miR-29a/b/c、miR-135a/b、miR-203及miR-141;其中miR-29a/b/c、miR-135a、miR-203的表达在癌组织内较癌旁组织都有不同程度的降低,以miR-135a、miR-29c差异最为明显,与之对应ABCE1在相同的肺癌组织内表达上调(P〈0.05);仅miR-135a与ABCE1在上述肺癌患者内表达呈现负性相关(r=-0.665,P=0.001)。结论在非小细胞肺癌内,很有可能是miR-135a负性调节ABCE1基因,两者结合可能成为诊治肺癌的新靶点。
