Forty-two male rats were fed with normal vitamin E( VE)requirement diet, i.e. 0.2mg?100gbw?-1d-1 for one week and then thirty-five rats were induced a 3rd degree burn of 20% BSA, another 7 uninjured rats served as normal contrsol. The burned rats were divided into 5 subgroups receiving VE at the dosage of 0.2, 1, 2, 5,10mg. 100gbw-1?d-1 respectively for 14 days. The re-ults showed that the serum and liver VE contents were lower and the serum LPO higher significantly in the burned rats as compared with the normal control,it wao also found that thymus was atrophic, the thymic cortex become thinner thymocytes constricted, and the splenic corpuscles decreased, the sperm and spermatocytes were markedly decreased with testis atrophy. Whet burned rats were fed VE, as the dosage increased to 2mg?100gbw-1?d-1, the serum and liver VE levels significantly raised and the serum LPO returned to control level. The histological changes of thymus, spleen and testes were nearly similar to the normal control rats.

BACKGROUND:In previous studies, the dehydrothermal cross-linking method was modified by the authors to improve the degradation property of colagen scaffolds. The cross-linking time was increased from 24 to 48 hours, and the cross-linking temperature increased from 105 to 115℃. OBJECTIVE:To verify the anti-degradation ability of colagen scaffolds prepared using the modified dehydrothermal cross-linking method and to obtain the optimal efficacy of the scaffolds on damaged tissue repair and regeneration. METHODS: Highly-purified type I colagen scaffolds with native triple helix structure were prepared and subjected to three different dehydrothermal cross-linking conditions: 105℃ for 24 hours, 105℃ for 48 hours and 115℃ for 24 hours. Material samples, 1 cm×1 cm, were implanted subcutaneously into the rat dorsum. The specimens were harvested at 3 days, 14 days and 42 postoperative days folowed by fixation and histological analysis using hematoxylin-eosin staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No untoward foreign body and immunological reactions were observed in any groups. In the group of 105℃ for 48 hours, the scaffold retention and degree of pore openness were better than the other two groups at 14 days after scaffold implantation (P < 0.05). These findings indirectly suggest that the anti-degradation ability of colagen scaffolds can be strengthened under certain dehydrothermal cross-linking conditions: the cross-linking time is increased from 24 to 48 hours.

Objective To study the distribution characteristics of deposited eggs and pathological changes in the viscera of animal infected with Schistosoma japonicum at different time. Methods New Zealand white rabbits were infected artificially with quantitative S. japonicum miracidia,then the distribution characteristics and the hatchability of schistosome eggs as well as the pathological changes of the corresponding viscera of the rabbits 42 and 60 d post?infection were observed and compared. Re?sults On the 42nd day post?infection,among all the viscera observed,the percentage of eggs deposited,the number of eggs per gram and the hatchability were the highest in the liver,while on the 60th day post?infection,the tissues and organs with the highest values of the above 3 indexes were the liver,rectum and upper section of the small intestine,respectively. From 42 day to 60 day post?infection,the liver of infected rabbits became swelling,hardening and lost elasticity,the color changed from black to dark grey,and egg nodules gradually appeared in the different sections of the small intestine,and also the mucosal hy?peremia,edema and egg nodules were seen in the colon,cecum and rectum. The lesion levels tended to be correlated with the deposition of eggs. Conclusion The amount and the density as well as the hatching rate of deposited eggs of S. japonicum in the viscera of infected rabbits at different time are different,and the lesion level in the host is correlated with the deposition of eggs.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of sodium glycididazole(CMNa)on the radio-sensitization of esophageal cancer(EC)by 18F-fluoromisonidazole(FMISO)PET/CT.Methods A total of 60 patients with EC from December 2016 to December 2017 were enrolled prospectively and were divided into control group(n = 30;21 males,9 females;age:(56.6±10.0)years)and experimental group(n=30;20 males,10 females;age:(59.3±9.0)years)using completely randomized grouping design.Patients in the control group received radiotherapy alone,and those in the experimental group were treated with conventional radiotherapy and CMNa.All patients underwent 18F-FMISO PET/CT imaging 1 week before and after radiotherapy.The imaging results were visually and semi-quantitatively analyzed.The maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax),tumor/muscle ratio(T/M),and hypoxia volume(HV)were calculated.Paired t test,two-sample t test and/x2 test were used to analyze the data.Results T/M and HV in the control group before and after radiotherapy were 3.92±0.57 vs 1.66±0.35,(1.84±0.31)vs(1.04±0.15)mm3,respectively;T/M and HV in the experimental group before and after radiotherapy were 4.01±0.68 vs 1.27±0.11,(2.01±0.22)vs(0.90±0.09)mm3,respectively.The primary tumor T/M,HV after radiotherapy in 2 groups were significantly lower than those before radiotherapy(t values:12.15-24.43,all P<0.05)and the amplitudes of T/M and HV in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(?T/M:2.77±0.60vs 2.25±0.49,?HV:(1.12±0.18)vs(0.81±0.26)mm3;t values:3.00 and 1.80,both P<0.05).Meanwhile,the local control rate of EC after 3 months in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group(80.0%(24/30)vs 53.3%(16/30);x2=4.80,P<0.05).Conclusion CMNa has the radiosensitizing effect on EC and the 18F-FMISO PET/CT can evaluate the radiosensitization effect.
