Objective To investigate the characteristics of stem cells marked with bromode oxyuridine (Brdu) and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) in lung tissue, as well as its effects on pulmonary development and injury-repair. Methods A model of hyperoxia in neonatal rats was established by exposed to 95% O2 for 7 days. Before executing rats, Brdu was injected peritoneally, then Brdu and TERT positive cells were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results (1)The positive staining cells of Brdu with large nuclear located in septa and submucose of series bronchia, scattering in epithelium of bronchia, and the number of positive cells were less. The positive staining cells of TERT located in the septa and alveolar walls of peripulmonary tissue and the number of which was less than that of Brdu. (2)The positive cells of SPC located in septa and alveolar walls. Staining with Brdu and TERT, small number of positive cells was observed. (3) In hyperoxia and normal oxygen group, integral of expression of Brdu, TRET and SPC had no differences. But integral of expression of Brdu in whatever hyperoxia (1. 61?0. 83) or normal oxygen group (1. 43?0. 85) were higher than TRET and SPC (P

Objective To study the effect of dexamethasone on KGF expression in lungs of neonatal rats after hyperoxic exposure. Methods A randomized controlled study was designed in 48 Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats of 3 days old and divided into hyperoxia group, hyperoxia + dexamethasone and control groups for 7days. Histologic examination of the lung tissues were studied and radical alveoli count (RAC) were determined after HE staining. KGF expression was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results (1)The lungs of the rats in the hyperoxia group showed thinner walls of alveoli, simple alveolar structure, fewer and larger alveoli, expanded and shrinked alveoli. While those rats in the dexamethasone group showed more severe changes and some destroyed septa and walls of alveoli which lead to structure turbulence of the pulmonary tissue. The RAC in the hyperoxia and dexamethasone group was siginificanly lower than that in the control group (9.50?1.05, 10.03?3.26 vs 13.00?1.79, P

Objective To analyze the effect of circulatory failure on ventilation therapy of respiratory failure after resuscitation in neonates with severe asphyxia. Methods Three hundred and eighty-two neonates with mechanical ventilation following severe asphyxia were retrospectively analyzed. Two groups were divided according to the efficacy of mechanical ventilation: effective and noneffective. Results The non-effective rate was 24.1% at 1 hour after ventilation (19.4% in full term babies,34.5% in preterm babies). The degree of asphyxia in noneffective group was significantly more severe than the effective group. The incidence of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborns(PPHN),exsanguine shock,cardiogenic shock,DIC and cardiac failure was 84.3%、51.0%、80 4%、49.0% and 54.9% respectively in term babies,while the incidence of exsanguine shock,cardiogenic shock,DIC and cardiac failure was 65.9%、68.3%、75.0% and 58.5% respectively in preterms babies. All of them were significantly higher than the effective group. After treatment of the circulation problems,the blood gas turned to normal in 94.1% term babies and 92.7% of preterms. No difference was shown in the recovery rate in both groups. Conclusion The circulatory failure is a main cause of non-effective mechanical ventilation in asphyxia neonates. To correct the pathophysiologic changes of the circulation in time can effectively improve the prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of the axillary conservative surgery by sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) using preoperative lymphoscintigraph technique with 99mTc-SC and methylene blue in early-stage breast cancer patients. Methods The sentinel lymph node (SLN) of 187 patients were located with preoperative lymphoscintigraph technique with 99mTc-SC and labeled with methylene blue during the operations. The metastasis of SLN was detected using frozen section technique. There were 51 patients whose SLN were positive having been carried with modified radical mastectomy of breast cancer and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), 136 patients' SLN were negative,58 patients of those were carried with mammectomy or partial mastcctomy and ALND (group A),while 78 patients were carried out with mammectomy or partial mastectomy only (group B). The sentinel lymph nodes were detected with HE stain after surgery. All the patients were treated with chemotherapy,and the patients with partial mastcctomy must be treated with radiotherapy. There were 2 patients with micrometastasis in group B being treated with mammectomy or partial mastcctomy only,and carried out with ALND again. Results The number of cases with upper limb numbness, edema, dysfunction in group A were 36,8 and 45 cases, in group B were 2,0,0 case respectively. Group A compared with group B was increased significantly (P< 0.05). The number of local recurrence within 1, 3 and 5 years were 0,0,2 cases;lymphatic metastasis were 1,5,8 cases; the distant metastasis were 2,8,12 cases; the disease-free survival were 60,57,49 cases. In group B, the number of local recurrence within 1, 3 and 5 years were 0,0,6 cases, lymphatic metastasis were 3,8,12cases,the distant metastasis were 4,8,16 cases,the disease-free survival were 76,70,61 cases. There were not significant differences between the two groups(P> 0.05). Conclusion It is simple and accurate to carry out SLNB using preoperative lymphoscintigraph technique with 99mTc-SC combined with methylene blue,and the effect is reliable.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of rhein lysinate (RHL)on the blood vessel damage induced by oxidative stress in the mice,and to explore its mechanism.Methods The mouse models of oxidative damage were established by intraperitoneal injection of paraquat.30 C57 mice were randomly divided into control, paraquat model,and RHL prevention groups.The mice in RHL prevention group were given RHL by gavage for one week before performing model.The mice in other two groups were given equal volume of distilled water.For making model,paraquat was intraperitoneally injected in the mice in paraquat model and RHL prevention groups once a week for two weeks.The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the content of serum malonaldehyde (MDA) of the mice were detected 2 weeks after modeling. The pathological profile of blood vessel was observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE)staining and the level of reactive oxygen species was observed by DCFH-DA staining.The expressions of genes related to blood vessel damage were detected by Western blotting method.Results Compared with control group,the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were decreased and the content of MDA was increased in paraquat model group (P < 0.05 ). Compared with paraquat model group,the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased and the content of MDA was decreased in RHL prevention group (P <0.05).The pathological examination indicated the structure of blood vessel of the mice was damaged and the level of reactive oxygen species of blood vessel was increased (P <0.05)in paraquat model group.The pathological changes were significantly improved and the level of reactive oxygen species of blood vessel of the mice was decreased (P < 0.05 )in RHL prevention group. The Western blotting analysis showed that compared with control group,the expression levels of nitric oxide endothelial synthase (eNOS)and caspase-3 of the mice in paraquat model group were decreased (P < 0.05),however the expression level of cleaved fragment of caspase-3 was increased (P < 0.05).Compared with paraquat model group,the expression levels of eNOS and caspase-3 of the mice in RHL prevention group were increased (P < 0.05 )and the expression level of cleaved fragment of caspase-3 was decreased (P <0.05).Conclusion Paraquat could induce vascular cell damage in vivo through increasing the levels of reactive oxygen species, and RHL could antagonize the effects of paraquat by scavenging reactive oxygen species, and up-regulating the eNOS expression and reducing the expression of the cleaved fragment of caspase-3.
