Objective To research the Alzheimer disease(AD) patients' hippocampal structure and cognitive function with the susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) and morphological measurement,and explore the changing regularity and correlation.Methods Sixty patients (divided equally into mild,moderate and major group as the condition of the severity of the AD) and 20 healthy control groups were scanned with SWI and T1MR,then the differences between AD and healthy controls were analyzed.Results The hippocampal volumes of AD patients were smaller than that of control group.The biggest variability occured in the major group(the left was Dunnett-t =-7.03,P < 0.01 ;the right was Dunnett-t =-7.52,P < 0.01),the moderate group was next(the left was Dunnett-t =-6.71,P < 0.01 ; the right was Dunnett-t =-6.62,P < 0.01) ;and the least variability occurred in the mild group.They did not achieve statistical significance (the left was Dunnett-t =-0.86,P> 0.05 ;the right was Dunnett-t =-0.68,P > 0.05).The hippocampus vein' s length,diameter had reduced significantly in the mild group(Dunnett-t were-5.62,-7.02,P< 0.001),but the number of the branches was slightly increased,which was close to the statistical significance.(Dunnett-t =1.86,P > 0.05).With the progress of the AD,all of the hippocampus vein's length,diameter,and branches were reduced significantly(the Dunnett-t of the moderate were-10.10,-11.40,-2.83,P<0.05;the Dunnett-tofthe major were-11.69,-14.68,-5.74,P< 0.001).AD patients blood vessel diameter,length and cognitive have correlation(r =-0.034 ~-0.517,P <0.05,P < 0.01).Conclusion The hippocampus vein and cognitive function function change in AD patients happened in the mild stages of disease.An important supplement to the MRI conventional sequences.

Objective To study sodium cantharidinate induced apoptosis of human esophageal carcinoma Eca109 in vitro. Methods The change of human esophageal carcinoma Eca109 treated with sodium cantharidinate were analyzed by MTT and FCM assay. Results Human esophageal carcinoma Eca109 were treated with sodium cantharidinate for 24 h,the cell proliferation was obviously inhibited(P

Objective To study the diagnosis and trea tm ent of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b. Methods On e case of MEN2b was reported.The clinical features,the diagnosis and treatment o f MEN2b were reviewed and presented. Results The diagno sis was established on B-ultrasonography and CT scanning,and the patient was cu red by operation. Conclusions MEN2b has been rare.Endoc rine check up,imaging procedures,family investigation and DNA analysis are very important to early diagnosis.Surgical removal of the tumors is effective.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of HSV-TK/GCV system on human prostate cancer. Methods: MTTassay, flow cytometry( FCM), optical and electron microscopy were used to determine the sensitivity of GCV on prostate cancer cell( PC-3m) after being tranfected with HSV-TK gene. Results: It was found that GCV had significant cytotoxic activity on HSV-TK gene-transduced prostate cancer cells, but little effect on the non-transduced cells. Conclusions: The experiment indicates that HSV-TK/GCV system has significant antitumor activities on the TK gene-transduced prostate cancer cells in vitro.

Objective To detect the levels of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-l (sICAM-1) in the sera of patients with systemic lupus erythe-matosus (SLE) and their clinical significance was analysed. Methods Serum level of sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 of 30 controls and 60 SLE patients were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

AIM: To explore the molecular mechanism of Radix Ophioponis against vascular endothelial cell (VEC) apoptosis induced by LPS. METHODS: The apoptosis of human umbilical vascular endothelial cells(HUVEC) was induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS). The influence of Radix Ophiopogonis on the expression of bcl-2 and intracellular Ca 2+ was detected by flow cytometry and laser confocal microscope. RESULTS: The serum containing Radix Ophiopogonis suppressed the increase in bcl-2 expression and overloading of Ca 2+ induced by LPS in HUVEC.CONCLUSION: The mechanism of Radix Ophiopogonis against HUVEC apotosis may be related with its regulatory effect on bcl-2 expression and remission of Ca 2+ overloading.

Objective Recently, the role of TREK-1 in anti-depression and neuroprotection was demonstrated definitely.In this paper,a systematic review about the functional structure of TREK-1 as well as the underlying mechanisms which involved in depression resistance and nerve protection was made for purpose of providing new ideas for the treatment of clinical diseases.Methods The electronic search of Medline/PubMed,CNKI,CBM and Wanfang Data were performed to collect the introduction of TREK-1 and the studies of depression and nerve protection in which TREK-1 participated from inception of each database to October 2015 ,besides the relevant references of the included studies were also retrieved.Results 30 studies were included in this paper.14 studies were about the interpretation of TREK-1's structure, distribution and the regulatory factors, and the number of researches regarding the involvement of TREK-1 in anti-depression and neuroprotection was 13 and 7 respectively.Based on these studies,it was easily to conclude that inhibition or blocking of TREK-1 channels can produce obvious antidepressant effect, however, activation of TREK-1 channels will induce the dilation of local cerebral vascular and silence hyperactive neurons.Conclusion Some achievements about the antidepressant and neuroprotective effect of TREK-1 channels in vivo have been made gratifyingly,thus future research should focus on exploring the best TREK-lactivation ratio in different brain regions to gain the best balance between anti-depression and neuroprotection.
