Objective To explore the clinical meanings of serum CA19-9 levd in hepatocirrhosis patients. Methods 61 hepatitis B and hepatocirrhosis patients were as treatment group, and 35 normal were as control group. The content of serum CA19-9 was measured by dectrochemistry lighting and the liver function was determined too. According to Child-Pugh liver function integral method,the treatment group was divided into 27 cases of A grade,20 cases of B grade and 14 cases of C grade. Results The serum CA19-9 level in hepatocirrhosis patients was higher than that of normal group significantly(P< 0. 005 ). The serum CA19-9 level decreaed obviously through the treat- ment,thereinto A and B grade fell evidendy in the Child-Pugh liver function integral method( P < 0. 005). C grade was not significantly different(P<0.05 ). The serum CA19-9 levd was positivdy associated with TBiL, ALT and AST of liver function integral method. Conclusion The serum CA19-9 levd of hepatocirrhosis patients is improved in different degrees. And it can be a prognostic target and used to estimate the degree of damage of liver function of hepatocirrhosis patients.

Objective: To study the bioactivity of human cementum extract . Methods: Cementum was harvested from freshly extracted heatlhy teeth and cementum extract was prepared by guanidine. Human gingival fibroblast and MC3T3 E1 osteoblast were cultured. The cells were incubated in DMEM with cementum extract concentration 0, 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 ?g/ml for an hour respectively, the cell attachment rate was measured by cell counting. The attachment rate of the cells in different incubation time(30 min,60 min, 90 min, 120 min) in DMEM containing 10 ?g/ml cementum extract was also assayed.Results: The extract increased the cell attachment rate in a concentration and time dependent effect. The extract at the concentration of 10 ?g/ml and with exposuse time of 90 min gave the most effective increase of cell attachment. Conclusion: Human cementum extract prepared by guanidine contains some bioactive proteins that promote the attachment of gingival fibroblasts and osteoblasts.

Objective To study the synthesizing site,transporting mode,and storing position of essential oil in Pogostemon cablin stems and leaves.Methods Ultrathin slicing and histochemical methods were used.Results In parenchyma cells in the stem of P.cablin,dark osmiophilic material was observed in plastids and mitochondria,otherwise,some small gray vesicles were also found in cytoplasm.Some dark osmiophilic droplets were found to adhere to outer membrane of small gray vesicles,and many small gray vesicles with osmiophilic droplets gathered in outer membrane of large vacuole.In leaves,it was different case.Because palisade tissue cells were arranged closely,which had smaller volume and rich chloroplasts,so there was not large vacuole in palisade tissue cells.Plastids,mitochondria,and small vacuole were distributed in high density,but the first two organelles contained more dark osmilphilic substance than latter.Conclusion The plastid is the main synthesis site of essential oil,and the essential oil was mainly transferred by small gray vesicles into large vacuole to store in the stem.In leaves,chloroplast not only has photosynthesis,but also is the main synthesis site of essential oil,and essential oil is permeated into small vacuole to store.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of serotonin (5-HT) and secretin(SEC) on afferent discharge of vagus in rats. Methods Spontaneous afferent discharge of subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve was recorded in urethane anesthetized rats. The effects of 5-HT, 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and 5-HT+SEC on the discharge of subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve were investigated by intravenous injection of different dosage of 5-HT(3, 10, 30 ?g/kg), Granisetron (1 mg/kg) and 5-HT+SEC. Results Intravenous 5-HT caused obvious exciting effect on spontaneous afferent discharge of subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve. The 5-HT3 receptor antagonist significantly inhibited the effects of 5-HT. 5-HT+SEC could augment the effect of 5-HT on spontaneous discharge. Conclusion The exciting effect of 5-HT on afferent discharge of subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve is possibly mediated by 5-HT3 receptor related to vagus nerve afference. Secretin can augment the exciting effect of 5-HT on spontaneous discharge of vagus afferent nerve.

Objective To explore whether hyperbaric oxyGen could improve microenvironment of transplanted stem cell in myocardial infarction rats or not. Methods Sixty-six SD rats were randomly divided into four Groups:sham operated,myocardial infarction( MI),Stem Cell Transplanted( SC),hiGh oxyGen pressure ( HBO)+SC Groups respectively. MI rat model was established,and then HBO treatment was carried out every day from the first day to 30th day. Human umbilical cord Wharton jelly mesenchyme cell was transplanted on the 7th day after MI. The serum level of superoxide dismutase( SOD ) and nitric oxide( NO ) were assayed respectively by xanthine oxidase method and nitric acid reduction colorimetric technique on the lst,7th,l4th and 30th day after MI. Human Whartonˊs jelly stem cells was marked with electronic display unit for tracinG in vivo. Stem cell proliferation and survival rate were identified by immunofluorescence method. Results ( l ) Compared with MI and SC Group respectively,the level of SOD increased siGnificantly in HBO +SC Group( P<0. 05).(2)Compared with MI Group,the level of NO increased siGnificantly in HBO+SC Group all time( P<0. 05),and compared with SC Group,the level of NO also increased siGnificantly at the l4th and 30th day( P<0. 05).(3)Compared with SC Group,the stem cell proliferation and survival rate all increased siGnificantly in HBO+SC Group at the l4th and 30th day(55. 00% vs 80. 58%,34. 28% vs 79. l2%,P<0. 05). Conclusion Stem cell transplanted assisted with hyperbaric oxyGenation could siGnificantly increase the level of NO and SOD,so as to improve the stress state after MI and promot the proliferation and survival rate of stem cell.

BACKGROUND:As an important industrial solvent,benzene can cause DNA damage,chromosome aberrence,formation of DNA adducts and gene mutation. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of benzene on DNA and the mechanism,as well as the changes of antioxidase system it caused. DESIGN:Randomized case control study. SETTING:The Department of Clinical Laboratory of First Affiliated Hospital and Public Health College of Harbin Medical University. PARTICIPANTS:The experiment was completed in the Animal Centre in Public Health College,Harbin Medical University.Twenty-four healthy male mice of Kunming species weighed between 18 g to 22 g were chosen.The mice were provided by Experimental Animal Centre of Second Affiliated Hospital,Harbin Medical University. INTERVENTIONS:The mice were divided into control group,low dose benzene group and high dose benzene group.Inhaling benzene smoke method was used 4 hours per day to cause benzene poisoning to mice except those of the control group.The mice were executed two months later to separate marrow cells and peripheral lymphocytes and remove liver,spleen and brain to make homogenate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) was used to assay the DNA damages of marrow cells and peripheral lymphocytes.Meanwhile,the contents of superoxide dismulase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in liver,spleen and brain tissues were also detected. RESULTS:The comet percentage of marrow cells and peripheral lymphocytes in two benzene poisoning groups were(83.56± 10.28),(92.54± 15.93)% ,and(41.27± 6.03)% ,(65.79± 11.62)% respectively which were much higher than those in control group[(4.13± 0.52)% ,(2.21± 0.31)% ](P< 0.01) and represented dose-response relationship.The SOD activity of liver homogenate and GSH-Px activity of high dose and low dose groups were (11 573.31± 1 938.72),(12 574.68± 1 938.72) nkat/g and (309.40± 82.85),(375.41± 55.18) nkat/g respectively which were much lower than those in control group [(16 668.67± 3 137.96),(588.62± 110.52) nkat/g] (P< 0.05).However, there was no significant difference between different dose groups. The GSH-Px activity in spleen homogenate in two experimental groups was(421.75± 124.02) and(523.10± 45.18) nkat/g respectively which was much lower than that of control group [(618.42± 57.01) nkat/g](P< 0.05) and there was significant difference between two groups (P< 0.05).In the brain homogenate of both benzene groups,the GSH-Px activity was(87.35± 19.84) and(95.02± 14.00) nkat/g respectively which was much lower than that of control group[(118.36± 7.67) nkat/g] (P< 0.05) and without difference between two groups.The MDA content in brain homogenate of high dose group was(3.99± 1.15) μ mol/mg which was much higher than that of control group [(2.58± 0.53) μ mol/g] (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION:Chronic benzene poisoning can cause DNA impairment of marrow cells and peripheral lymphocytes and reduce the activity of antioxidase.
