Objective To establish a novel canine model of severe acute cholangitis(ACST).Methods Ten dogs were randomly divided into two groups:model group and control group.ACST models were established by placing T-tube in common bile duct and ligating the distal bile duct,then injecting E.coli trough T-tube and closing the T-tube.The changes of peripheral WBC,total bilirubin,ALT,AKP,IL-1?,TNF-? and endotoxin were observed pre-operatively and at 24 h,48 h,72 h,and 7 d post-operatively.The pathological changes of bile duct were observed when the dogs were sacrificed.Results There were no significant differences in all indices between two groups pre-operatively.Serum IL-1?,TNF-?,endotoxin and total bilirubin,ALT,AKP level in model group increased gradually and were higher than control group(P

AIM: To investigate the CdTe quantum dots coated with MPA and explore its biocompatibility with living cells. METHODS: CdTe quantum dots coated with MPA were prepared in aqueous phase and MPA CdTe QDs were Characterized with TEM, fluorospectrophotometer and ultraviolet spectrophotometer. QDs were Modified with with avidin, purified and prepared as flurescent probe. LSCM was used to observe the expression of MHC Ⅱ antigen on PMφ cells, which was labeled by QDs. Cell culture and MTT assays were used to determine the biocompatibility of MPA coated CdTe quantum dots with the B-16 cells as target cells. RESULTS: The particle diameter of CdTe quantum dots prepared in aqueous phase was well distributed. They had good photological performance and greater stability after coated with MPA. MHC Ⅱ antigen on PMφ was labeled with the QDs-Avidin fluorescent probe showed great fluorescence intensity, which was easy to be detected by fluorescence microscope and LSCM. MPA CdTe QDs showed cytotoxicity when its density was very high, but they showed little cytotoxicity during the normal use of influence label density limit. CONCLUSION: MPA CdTe QDs can be used as new fluorescent lable as they are of even size, not easy to bleach or quench, have good photological performance and stability and good biocompatibility.
