AIMTo investigate the effect of morp hine on purine nucleotides catabolism and its possible mechanisms. METHO DSRats were administered with morphine by intraperitoneal injection with increasing dose to develop ad diction model. The determination of uric acid concentration in plasma and the ac tivities of xanthine oxidase (XO) in the plasma and the small intestine were per formed. RT-PCR was used to examine the expressing level of key enzyme of purine nucleotides catabolism,XO mRNA. ?-actin was used as control gene in RT-PCR s tudy. RESULTSThe concentration of uric acid in plasma was sign ificantly increased in morphine-pretreated rats compared with control(P

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of MR spectroscopy in intracranial neoplasm. Methods 52 cases with brain neoplasm or recurrent neoplasm or non-tumor lesion confirmed by pathology were undergone proton MRS before stereotactic biopsy, or operation. Results Of 52 cases, 38 were neoplasm and 14 were nonneoplastic lesion, 34 of 38 brain tumor, 11 of 14 nonneoplastic lesion were diagnosed correctly. The characteristics on MRS of glioma were remarkable Cho increase and NAA decrease, Lac in the tumors and the central necrotic area was elevated. Metastasis: Cho increased,NAA disappeared or obviously decreased and Lac increased, but the peritumoral region was normal. Lymphoma: Cho increased, NAA decreased moderately, Lip presented, but the peritumoral region was normal. Demyelination lesion: slight or median decreased NAA and normal Cr, Lac increased slightly. All metabolism decreased or disappeared in radiation necrosis, Cho was relative high compared with NAA. Brain abscess: Lac increased in the centre of abscess and perilesion was normal.Conclusion MRS has significant value in detecting and differentiating brain lesions.

Objective To investigate the pathologic foundation,clinical characteristics and CT features of microscopic polyangiitis(MPA)with lung involvement.Methods Clinical data of 6 patients of MPA with lung involvement in 2003-2006 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The types of lung imaging manifestations as the followings:(1)Mutiple flaky shadow in both lung in 3 cases.(2)Ground-glass shadow in 1 case.(3)Disseminated interstitial lung involvement in 2 cases.The main respiratory symptom was haemoptysis except cough and expectoration.Renal damaging often occurred besides the lung.Six cases with positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)and 5 cases with positive P-ANCA/MPO-ANCA were found in laboratory examination.Conclusions The CT manifestations of MPA with lung involvement have no characteristic features.Clinical characteristics and laboratory examination can help to understand and diagnose MPA with lung involvement early.

Objective:To explore the effect of oxycontin combined with gabapentin on the clinical cure and immunity for patients with neuropathic cancer pain.Methods:80 patients with neuropathic cancer pain were enrolled in our hospital from June to 2016 July,of which patients divided into two groups randomly,Group A(n=40) accepted oxycontin treatment,and Group B (n=40) adopted gabapentin based on the patients in Group A.The VAS score and curative effect of the patients were compared between two groups;The quality of life of all patients were evaluated post-treatment,and the change of immunity indexes were compared and analyzed.Results:The VAS score of all patients was decreased significantly compared with pre-treatment (P＜0.05),and the score of Group B was lower than those patients in Group A (P＜0.05);The total remission rate of Group B was significantly higher than those of Group A (P＜0.05);after treatment,the score of appetite,emotion,sleep,daily activities,social communications of all patients decreased significantly compared with pre-treatment (P＜0.05),and the change of Group B was decrease significantly higher than those patients in Group A (P＜0.05);the immune index of two groups was significantly increased (P＜0.05),and the level of the indexes including IgG,IgA,IgM,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and circulating immune complex (CIC) increased compared with pre-treatment remarkably (P＜0.05),and which change in Group B was significantly higher than Group A (P＜0.05).Conclusions:Oxycontin combined with gabapentin for patients with neuropathic cancer pain deserved popularization in clinical,and which not only possessed well clinical effect,but also increased the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the value of colonoscopy with narrow band imaging (NBI) in predicting the histology of colorectal polypoid lesions. Methods A total of 173 colorectal polypoid lesions from 125 patients were included in the study. The lesions were diagnosed as neoplastic (adenoma or cancer)or non-neoplastic based on pit patterns and/or capillary patterns (CP), which was compared with the results of pathology, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of each method were evaluated. Results In differentiation between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CP (94. 83% , 91. 23% and 93.64% , respectively), and those of CP combined with pit patterns (95. 69% ,96.49% and 95. 59% , respectively) were significantly higher than those of conventional colonoscopy (80. 17% , 84.21% and 81.50% , respectively, P<0.05). In differentiation between adenoma and cancer,the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CP were 86.90% , 100.00% and 87.93% , respectively.Conclusion NBI is superior to conventional colonoscopy in differentiation between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions, as well as in differentiation between adenoma and carcinoma.

ObjectiveTo study the morphological and functional changes of thyroid in lactating rats and their offspring in iodine deficiency and iodine excess animal models.MethodsOne hundred and twenty Wistar rats(30 males and 90 females) were selected.Based on their body weight,the 90 females were stratified and randomly divided into five groups( 18 in each group):low iodine group 1 and group 2(fed with low iodine feed and deionized water containing iodine of 0,5 μg/L) ; high iodine group 1,group 2 and control group(feed with normal diet and deionized water containing iodine of 3000,10 000,50 μg/L).After fed for 3 month,all female rats were mated with males in a ratio of 3 ∶ 1.After birth for 10 days,8 female rats and their offspring in each group were sacrificed.Changes of thyroid were observed by naked eyes.The thyroid weight was measured and pathological changes of thyroids were observed under light microscope.Results①Absolute and relative weight of lactating rats thyroid in low iodine group 1 and group 2 [ (92.02 ± 24.40 ),(77.11 ± 23.32 )mg,(0.509 ± 0.072),(0.384 ± 0.089) mg/kg] were much higher than that of control group[ (17.41 ± 9.25)mg,(0.102 ± 0.016)mg/kg,all P＜ 0.05].Absolute and relative weight of lactating rats thyroid in high iodine group 1 and group 2[(8.22 ± 0.41 ),(9.42 ±0.43)mg,(0.047 ± 0.006),(0.035 ± 0.005)mg/kg] were lower than that of control group(all P ＜ 0.05).Absolute and relative weight of lactating rats and their offspring thyroid was decreased with increase of iodide intake in the diet.②Thyroid enlargement of lactating rats in low iodine group 1 and group 2 was evident,but that of high iodine group 1 and group 2 was not.③Epithelial cell hyperplasia and smaller follicular cavity were observed in low iodine group 1 and group 2 under light microscope.Epithelial cell deformation and mostly flat were observed in high iodine group 1 and group 2.ConclusionsThyroid morphology is changed with iodide intake in the lactating rats and their offspring,and the changes are consistent between female rats and their newborns.

Aim To establish a model of the vascular endothelial cell (VEC) injury in SDrats.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into the control and the modelgroups. The model rats were injected with adrenaline diluted to 2. 5 times 0. 05 mg?100 g-1 (tid) for 5 d continously. From the 4th d, they were irritated for 5 min in the0℃ cold-water in the middle between adrenaline injections.The control rats weregiven 0. 9% NS as above. At 6th d, blood samples were taken from carotid arteries ofthe rats and the CEC counts, t - PA、PAI activities, 6-keto-PGF1? concentrations andthe platelet aggregation rate(max) were detected respectively. Results In the modelgroup, as compared with those in the control group, t - PA activity and 6-keto-PGF1?concentration decreased significantly(P
