Objective:To explore the effects of angiotens in Ⅳ on the hippocampus neuronal apoptosis and the cognitive function of diabetic rats.Methods:38 SD male rats were divided into normal group,diabetic model group and angiotensin Ⅳ treatment group randomly.Streptozotocin-diabetic rat model was established and learning and memory behaviors were investigated using a spatial version of the Morris water maze test.The expression of Bcl-xl of all rats was examined with immunohistochemical method.Meanwhile,the hippocampal neuronal apoptosis were measured by TUNEL.Results:Learning and memory grade in the angiotensin Ⅳ treatment group were better than diabetic model group(P

In this report we have provided a preliminary assessment of the application of gastrocnemius in microsurgery after having observed the gastrocnemius and the blood vessels and nerves of 50 adult cadavers (100 cases of lower limbs).1. The gastrocnemius has relatively wide and thick belly both in the medial and in the lateral head , the strength of which is rather strong.Each head of the gastrocnemius has a single vessel and nerve.The outside diameter of the blood vessel is above 2 mm and the vessel pedicle 3-4 cm in length.The removal of either of the heads is of little effect on the functions of lower limbs.2. The medial head of the gastrocnemius has a wider and thicker belly, a bigger diameter and longer pedicle of the blood vessel than the lateral head.Theblood for the skin in the area of the medial head is mainly supplied by the musclocutaneous artery, while that in the area of lateral head by the direct cutaneous artery.

Objective To investigate the chemical constituents from the roots of Polygala japonica. Methods The compounds were isolated by silica gel, ODS, and macroporous resin column chromatography and their structures were determined by means of spectral analysis. Results Eight compounds were isolated and characterized as ?-D-(3-O-sinapoyl)-fructofuranosyl-?-D-(6-O-sinapoyl)-glucopyranoside (Ⅰ), arillatose A (Ⅱ), sibiricose A_5 (Ⅲ), sibiricose A_6 (Ⅳ), neolancerin (Ⅴ), polygalaxanthone Ⅲ (Ⅵ), sibiricaxanthone A (Ⅶ) and polygalatol (Ⅷ). Conclusion These compounds are extracted from this plant for the first time. Compound Ⅴ is obtained from natural products for the first time.

Premixed insulin is currently the most popular insulin starter in China.According to the different ratios of basal and prandial components,premixed insulin analogues could be classified into low-and midmixtures.The former is now mainly used as insulin starter in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus after the failure of monotherapy or combination with oral antidiabetic drugs,while the later is usually used as simplified intensive insulin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled on insulin once-or twice-daily.

The auther dissected 168 adult and infant cadavers and the form and innervation of anal sphincter muscle complex (ASMC) were observed. It was found that there were individual variations in development of ASMC. The well-developed puborectalis accounted for 72.4%, the poorly developed 22.4% and no puborectalis 5.2%. Usually, the ratio of the thickness of the internal (IS) and external sphincter (ES) was 1: 1.5. Occasionally, IS was thinner than ES. Their ratio was 1 : 3 or 1: 5. On the other hand, IS might be 2~3 times thicker than ES. N. puborectalis existed in most cases. It mostly originated from the pelvic splanchnic nerve. The most frequent existence of the anal nerve (45.8%) was in those of single thunks originating from the perineal nerve. The clinical significance of ASMC in the ano rectal surgery is also discussed.

Objective To discuss and study the ethics related issues of xenocorneal transplantation.Methods The ethics related issues of xenocorneal transplantation were discussed through analysis of the cornea characteristics and present situation of corneal transplantation.Results The ethical problems faced by corneal transplantation mainly consisted of technical barriers social problems:immune rejection after corneal transplantation; species chosen whether or not to meet the ethical requirements,whether to violate the ethics; animal rights issues; whether can cause characteristics change of xenocorneal transplantation person; whether xenocorneal transplantation will lead to the spread of deadly diseases,and endanger public safety.Conclusions Xenocorneal transplantation can help patients regain their sight,its success requires not only the innovation breakthrough of science and technology,but also the attention of people on ethical issues of xenocorneal transplantation.

Background and purpose:Members of the NF-kappaB family of transcription factors could activate bcl-2 anti-apoptotic genes at the transcriptional level and then regulate cell apoptosis.The p53 tumor suppressor gene has a clear role!in both the regulation of cell cycle and expression of apoptosis-related bcl-2 family.There were few reports about the expression of NF-?Bp65,bcl-2,bcl-xL and their relationships with p53 and cell apoptosis in pancreatic cancer.The present study was designed to analyze the expression of the antiapoptotic molecules nuclear factor kappaB(NF-?Bp65),bcl-2 and bcl-xL in pancreatic ductal carcinoma(PC) and their correlations to the apoptosis index and p53 expression.Methods:Immunohistochemical analyses of P53 protein was performed on 25 cases of pancreatic ductal carcinoma and 9 cases of normal pancreas;Western blot was used to evaluate NF-?Bp65 protein and RT-PCR for bcl-2 mRNA and bcl-xL mRNA of 25 cases of pancreatic ductal carcinoma and 9 NP cases.The apoptosis was determined by TUNEL.Results:The positive rate of P53 protein was 56%(14/25)in PC tissues,significantly higher than that in NP tissues(P

Objective To investigate the clinical and imaging features of cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy(CARASIL).Methods Clinical data of a Chinese Mongolian patient with CARASIL were analyzed retrospectively and pedigree investigation was carried out in the family.Results The proband's parents were cousin and her brother was a patient with CARASIL too.The patients had onset at 25 and 23 years old,respectively.Clinical manifestations included cerebral stroke,progressive motor and mental deterioration,seizures,alopecia,and ocular fundus arteriosclerosis.No common risk factors of cerebral stroke were found in the family.Brain MRI showed bilateral diffuse cerebral white matter lesion with multiple infarcts and O'Sullivan sign.Cervical vertebral MRI showed multiple protrusion of intervertebral disc and significant retrogression.Conclusions CARASIL is clinically characterized by young-age-onset cerebral stroke,cerebral arteriosclerosis,alopecia,cervical and lumbar spondylopathy.MRI shows multiple cerebral infarcts,leukoencephalopathy and retrogression of intervertebral disc.
