To analyze the influence of related factors on recurrent hemorrhage after operation of hypertensive intrac-erebral hemorrhage,and investigate the countermeasures against recurrent hemorrhage. 124 patients with surgical treated hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were analyzed retrospectively. Logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the function of various possible factors that might induce recurrent hemorrhage. The incidence of recur-rent postoperative hemorrhage was 16. 1% . Univariate logistic analysis disclosed that timing of operation,the hem-orrhage site and coagulation factor disorders,difficulties met during the operation and inadequate hemostasis,and postoperative blood pressure fluctuation were significantly related with recurrence of hemorrhage(P < 0. 05). Multi-variate logistic regression analysis showed that timing of operation,difficulties met during the operation and inade-quate hemostasis and postoperative blood pressure fluctuation were risk factors of recurrent hemorrhage(P < 0. 05). The optimal operative time,strict hemostasis in operation and appropriate postoperative blood pressure control are important measures in preventing recurrent hemorrhage.

AIM:To establish a new rat model of depression by the antagonistic relationship of antagonizing pairs of neurotransmitters in the brain.METHODS:Dopamine D1 receptor antagonist SCH23390 was injected into the hippocampus of the rats by microinjection at low, medium and high doses (1, 2 and 4 g/L) to establish a depression model.After modeling, the sucrose consumption, open-field and novelty suppressed feeding tests were used to evaluate the behaviors of the rats, and screen out the best modeling drug dose.The model of depressive rats was induced using the best modeling drug dose and the model rats were observed for 2 weeks.The stability of the model was evaluated by behavioral tests, and the contents of IL-1β and TNF-α in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were measured by ELISA to evaluate the safety of the model.The levels of the antagonizing pairs of neurotransmitters in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus were analyzed by the method of high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), so as to evaluate the pathological characteristics of neurotransmitter imbalance in the brain of the model rats.RESULTS:After modeling, the rat weight, sucrose preference rate, and horizontal motion and vertical motion scores of open-field test were significantly decreased in eACh dose model group, and feeding latent periods of novelty suppressed feeding test were significantly increased, indicating a typical depressive behavior.The rats with the medium dose (2 g/L) of SCH23390 had the most significant depressive behavior.At 2 weeks after modeling, compared with the normal control group, the weight, sucrose preference rate, and horizontal motion and vertical motion scores in medium dose group were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the feeding inhibition time was significantly increased (P<0.05).No significant difference in the content of IL-1β and TNF-α in the CSF of normal control group, blank control group and medium dose group was observed, indicating that the model did not cause obvious inflammatory injury, and the modeling method was safe.Compared with blank control group, the contents of 5-HT, NE and Glu in the left hippocampus of rats in medium dose group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the content of DA and ACh showed decreasing trends.The contents of 5-HT, NE and Glu in the right hippocampus of the rats were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the contents of DA and ACh showed decreasing trends.The content of Glu in cerebral cortex was significantly increased (P<0.05), the contents of 5-HT and NE showed increasing trends, and the contents of DA and ACh showed decreasing trends, indicating that the model was basically consistent with the pathological features of neurotransmitter imbalance in the brain of depression.CONCLUSION:This method can successfully replicate the rat model of depression, which has the characteristics of typical and persistent symptoms, fast modeling, and safe and easy operation.Using the dosage of 2 g/L is more suitable.

Objective To investigate the effects of baicalin on serum progesterone and related hormones in female normal and cerebral ischemia rats; To explore whether baicalin plays a role in cerebral protection of neurological functions by regulating progesterone levels.Methods With vaginal smear method, the adult estrus female SD rats were selected and divided into normal group, baicalin normal group, and molding groups. The left side of the middle cerebral artery of rats in the molding groups was blocked to establish the permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO). After modeling, the rats were randomly divided into model group, baicalin treatment group, progesterone treatment group and progesterone inhibitor group. The baicalin normal group and baicalin treatment group were given intraperitoneal injection of baicalin solution; the normal group and model group were given normal saline of the same quantity; progesterone treatment group was given intramuscular injection of progesterone; progesterone inhibitor group was given intraperitoneal injection of baicalin solution and intragastric administration of mifepristone solution.The neurological function deficit scores were evaluated and rat forelimb holding power was detected by Grip Strength Meter respectively at different time points. Serum was taken from the rats and the progesterone and related hormones levels in the serum of every group were measured by ELISA. Results Compared with normal group, neurological functions of rats in molding groups were damaged, and neural functional behavior scores of different time points were the most strongly increased (P<0.001), and rat forelimb holding power was the most strongly reduced (P<0.001). 5 days after treating, baicalin showed the trend of improvement of neurological functions (P>0.05) and more significant improvement of the forelimb holding power (P<0.01); 10 days after modeling, baicalin treatment group significantly increased neural functional behavior scorce (P<0.001) and the most significantly improved the forelimb holding power (P<0.001). Compared with baicalin treatment group, the progesterone inhibitor group had a significant inhibitory effect on neural functional recovery (P<0.05) 10 days after modeling, and the group also had a significant inhibitory effect on the recovery of holding power (P<0.05) 5 days and 10 days after treating. At the same time, compared with the model group, progesterone level in baicalin treatment group increased significantly (P<0.05), and FSH and LH decreased (P>0.05).Conclusion After applying mifepristone to block progesterone, baicalin neurologic protection is significantly inhibited. The results demonstrated that baicalin may play a role in cerebral protection via up-regulating serum progesterone level.

Objective To evaluate the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Fifteen male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 250-300 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =5 each) using a random number table: sham operation group (group S), hepatic I/R group (group I/R) , and group DHA.Hepatic I/R was induced by clamping the hepatic pedicle supplying the left and middle lobes of the liver for 60 min, followed by 24 h reperfusion in anesthetized rats.DHA 4 mg/kg was injected intravenously at 30 min before ischemia and 10 min of reperfusion in group DHA.The equal volume of solvent was given instead in S and I/R groups.Blood samples were taken from the inferior vena cava at 24 h of reperfusion for determination of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities, and resolvin D1 concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed, and the livers were removed for determination of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity (by spectrophotometry), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mRNA expression (by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction).The livers were cut into sections which were stained with haematoxylin and eosin, and examined under light microscope.Results Compared to group S, the serum ALT and AST activities, serum resolvin D1 concentrations, and MPO activity, and IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA expression in liver tissues were significantly increased in I/R and DHA groups (P＜0.05).Compared to group Ⅰ/R, the serum resolvin 1D1 concentrations, and MPO activity and TNF-α mRNA expression in liver tissues were significantly decreased (P＜0.05) , and no significant difference was found in the serum ALT and AST activities in group DHA (P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in pathological changes of the liver between group DHA and group I/R.Conclusion DHA can attenuate inflammatory responses during hepatic I/R, but it is not sufficient to mitigate liver injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the productive effects of baicalin on the male rats with ischemic brain injury and its effects on serum progesterone level in rats; To explore the possible mechanism of baicalin in brain protection. Methods Adult SD male rats were used to create a permanent left middle cerebral artery occlusion model. The rats were evenly divided into model group, baicalin group, inhibitor group, and sham-operation group (without inserted into the intraluminal thread) according to the neurological function scores. At different time points after modeling, the neurological function scores and the grip strength of double foreleg were measured, and the reduction rate of grip strength was calculated. Serum progesterone and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with the sham-operation group, the neurological function of rats in the model group was impaired, the grip strength of double foreleg was significantly reduced. 7 days after treatment, compared with the model group, the neurological function score of baicalin group was lowered, grip strength of double foreleg was recovered, reduction rate of grip strength was reduced (P<0.05); compared with the baicalin group, protective effects of baicalin on neurological function was lowered in inhibitor group (P<0.05). 7 days after treatment, compared with the model group, the serum progesterone level in baicalin group was significantly higher (P<0.01), and ACTH level showed an increasing trend; compared with the baicalin group, serum progesterone and ACTH levels in the inhibitor group decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion The protective effects of baicalin on the male rats with ischemic brain injury may be related to the regulation of progesterone.

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Bazhen decoction on bone marrow depression induced by cyclophosphamide (CY) in mice. An experimental model of mouse bone marrow injury was established through cyclophosphamide induced and the following phenomena were observed. The techniques of culture of hematopoietic progenitor cell and hematopoietic growth factor assay were used. Bazhen decoction could obviously promote the proliferation of bone marrow cells of anaemic mice. The culture media of spleen cell, macrophage, lung and skeletal muscle treated with Bazhen decoction had much stronger stimulating effects on hematopoietic cells. The bone marrow cells of the anaemic mice could yield TNF through Bazhen decoction treatment. It was suggested that Bazhen decoction is clinically a hopeful drug used to cure bone marrow depression and attenuate the side effects of CY.

Objective To investigate insulin sensitivity and beta cell function in female systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with different glucose tolerances. Methods Insulin sensitivity and beta cell function were compared between SLE patients and non-SLE subjects in the states of normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)and diabetes mellitus (DM) respectively.Furthermore, risk factors for insulin sensitivity and beta cell function in SLE patients were analysed by linear regression. Results In NGT state, insulin sensitivity and beta cell function of newly diagnosed SLE patients without glucocorticoids treatment were not significantly different from those of normal control group ( P ＜0. 05). Compared with newly diagnosed SLE patients without glucocorticoids treatment and normal control group, HOMA insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) , In (HOMA-β), In (early phase insulin secretion index, EISI ) and In ( late phase insulin secretion index, LISI ) of SLE patients with glucocorticoids treatment were significantly higher( 1.91 ± 1.04 vs 0. 81 ±0. 75,0. 94 ±0. 27;5.05 ±0. 65 vs 4. 01 ±0. 63,4. 23 ±0.47;3. 14±0.81 vs 2.42 ±0.39,2.50±0.65;2.30 ±0.55 vs 1.62 ±0.57,1.56 ±0.43;P ＜0.05),while In ( Matsuda index, MI ) was significantly lower ( 4. 53 ± 0. 54 vs 5. 27 ± 0. 68,5. 18 ± 0. 38; P ＜0. 05). In IGT and DM state, HOMA-IR (2. 84 ± 1. 87 vs 1.82 ± 1.22, 3. 18 ±2. 29 vs 2. 94 ±2. 26) and In (HOMA-β) (5. 18 ±0. 93 vs 4. 06 ±0. 58, 3. 99 ± 1.04 vs 3.43 ±0. 83) were significantly higher in SLE patients with glucocorticoids treatment than those of non-SLE subjects ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) respectively. BMI and In (daily glucocorticords doses) were independent risk factors for insulin sensitivity, and age, the SLE disease activity index(SLEDAI) and In(daily glucocorticords doses) were related factors beta cell function.Conclusion In NGT, IGT and DM state,SLE female patients with glucocorticoids treatment have reduced insulin sensitivity and increased beta cell function, these changes are related to the use of glucocorticoids.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on ureteral injury repair via renal artery transplantation. METHODS: The left ureteral obstruction model was set up in 49 Balb/c mice by micro vascular clamp. The microscopic vascular clamp was taken out to lift the left ureteral obstruction after 10 days. The mice were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=25) and a control group (n=24). Balb/c mice BMSCs transfected by luciferase (Luc) were transplanted immediately through the renal artery after removing the microscopic vascular clamp from the experimental group; while mice in the control group was closed the incision after the microscopic vascular clamp was removed immediately and without BMSCs transplant. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to scan the experimental mice. By measuring the left renal pelvis volume of the experimental mice at different time points and comparing the left ureter recanalization rate after removing left ureteral obstruction of the experimental group and the control group, we evaluated the repair effect of BMSCs on ureteral injury. RESULTS: The volume of the left renal pelvis in experimental mice became bigger obviously after the left ureter was obstructed (P<0.01). The left renal pelvis volume of the experimental group and the control group had no statistical significance 10 days after the left ureteral obstruction was set up (P=0.693). In the experimental group, the left ureter recanalization rate was higher than that in the control group, after removing the left ureteral obstruction (P=0.012). CONCLUSION Transplantation through the renal artery can promote the restoration of ureteral injury in mice.

Objective The risk of current pancreaticojejunostomy is carefully considered from the perspective of the morphology of remnant pancreas,and we aimed to discuss the clinical outcomes of selecting different pancreaticojejunostomy techniques based on pancreatic morphology.Methods This was a prospective cohort study.The histopathology of remnant pancreatic tissues was categorized into four types based on preoperative radiological images and intraoperative palpation:Type Ⅰ:pancreas with hard texture in palpation,pancreatic atrophy,dilated pancreatic duct larger than 5 mm and remnant pancreatic surface ＜3 cm;Type Ⅱ:pancreas with hard texture in palpation,pancreatic atrophy and mild dilatation of pancreatic duct with the diameter of 3-5 mm and remnant pancreatic surface ＜3 cm;Type Ⅲ:pancreas with slightly hard texture,no atrophy,and normal or slightly dilated pancreatic duct with the diameter of 3-5 mm and remnant pancreatic surface ≥3 cm;Type Ⅳ:pancreas with soft texture,normal morphology and pancreatic duct.Results From January 2008 to August 2017,116 consecutive patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in our center.Among them,10 patients with type Ⅰ underwent classic pancreatic ductal mucosa to mucosa anastomosis.19 patients with type Ⅱ underwent classic end to end invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy.45 patients with type Ⅲ underwent classic end to end invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy with overlapping U sutures;42 patients with type Ⅵ underwent total invaginated pancreaticojejunostomy.The post-operative pancreatic fistula occurred in 6 patients (5.2％) with one patient died.Postoperative bleeding occurred in 10 patients (8.6％),and gastroparesis occurred in 22 patients (19.0％).Overall complication rate was 33.6％.Conclusions Classification of pancreatic morphology based on preoperative radiological images and intraoperative palpation and the selection of corresponding pancreaticojejunostomy technique is theoretically rational and has the advantage of potentially reducing the risk of remnant pancreatic tissue.

Objective To investigate the effect of open surgical drainage approach for the treatment of walled-off pancreatic necrosis ( WOPN) in severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Clinical data of 154 WOPN patients admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2005 to October 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Traditional open debridement necrosectomy was performed in 83 patients from January 2005 to October 2012 ( debridement group) , and small abdominal incision with low-position open surgical drainage was performed in 71 patients from October 2012 to October 2016 ( drainage group ) . The clinical outcomes of two groups were analyzed and compared. Results 43 cases (51. 8％) in debridement group had postoperative intraperitoneal reinfection, while there were only 13 cases with postoperative intraperitoneal reinfection (18. 3％) in drainage group;18 cases (21. 7％) in debridement group had surgery-related digestive tract fistula, while there were only 4 cases with surgery-related digestive tract fistula (5. 6％) in drainage group; the differences were statistically significant (χ2 = 18. 55, P=0. 001; χ2 = 11. 35, P=0. 002). 15 patients (18. 1％) in debridement group and only 2 patients (2. 8％) in drainage group died. The mortality in drainage group were obviously lower than that in debridement group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 9. 07, P<0. 05 ). 62 cases ( 74. 7％) in debridement group and 55 cases (77. 5％) in drainage group were cured directly, respectively. No significant difference was found between two groups. However, 3 cases (3. 6％) in debridement group and 12 cases (16. 9％) in drainage group were cured by the way of small intestinal fistula in the late stage of intubation, and the latter was higher than the former with statistically significant(χ2 =5. 989,P=0. 014). Conclusions Compared with open debridement necrosectomy, the abdominal infection rate, digestive tract fistula rate and mortality of open surgical drainage were all significantly reduced , which may be a better treatment for WOPN.
