The microvasculature of the rabbit right ventricle was studied by the method of vascular corrosion cast and scanning electron microscopy. In the endocardium could be seen thin and sparse capillary network i. e. subendothelial capillary network formed by the branches of the arterioles passing through myocardium. In the myocardium, arteriole and its branches distributed in certain area. Sphincters could be seen in the beginning of the arterioles. Capillaries of the papillary muscle in right ventricle were parallel to muscle bundle and were thinner and sparser than those of the papillary muscle in left ventricle. Venous system in right ventricle wall was similar in architecture to that in left ventricle, postcapillary venule joined its corresponding venule in a "turnip root" like pattern. No A-V anastomosis could be seen, yet thebesian vessels and myocardial sinusoids directly opened into ventrical chamber could be found.

Anopheles minimus was infected with Plasmodium yoelii yoelii under adequate condition. The malaria parasite could develop normally and produce mature oocysts containing sporozoites. Large numbers of free active sporozoites were found in the haemocele but most of them failed to penetrate into the mosquito's salivary glands. Thus the sporogonic cycle of the parasite could not be completed.But in one mosquito, a few sporozoites were found in its salivary glands. It seems that there is an individual difference in the susceptibility of the mosquitoes and this throws some light on the possibility of selecting a susceptible strain of A. minimus to establish the A. minimus-P. yoelii system for malaria research.

Objective Immunoreactive intensity of dopamine transporter(DAT)was quantitatively analyzed in the different regions of postmortem human brain in order to provide evidence in selecting an appropriate reference region for neuroimaging in measurement of the altered DAT.Methods The brain tissue blocks taken from 8 male cadavers were paraffin-embedded and sectioned,and immunoautoradiography was used to display the difference of DAT immunoreactive intensity in the substantia nigra,putamen and caudate nucleus,cingulate cortex,frontal cortex,occipital cortex and cerebellar cortex.Results The highest DAT density was found mainly in the substantia nigra,caudate nucleus and putamen,while the lowest density was only seen in cerebellar cortex.Quantitative analysis revealed that the intensity of DAT immunoreactivity(DAT-IR)in cerebellar cortex was respectively 1/3.50,1/3.72,1/1.28 of that in frontal cortex,cingulate cortex and occipital cortex,and it was only 1/8.33,1/11.67,1/8.56 that of substantia nigra,caudate nucleus and putamen.Conclusions The cerebellar cortex has the lowest DAT as compared to other examined brain regions,and it can be used for a reference region in neuroimaging to detect altered DAT.

By analyzing the crisis of survival in 2 hospitals, the authors argue that reform of the hospital property right system may be a way out. However, in the process of the reform, hospitals may face some problems. One problem is how to ensure the steady transition and sustained development of a hospital if the whole of it is sold out to an enterprise run by the local people. Another problem is how to safeguard the status, salary and welfare of the staff. To ensure the success of the reform, the following measures need to be taken: ①strengthening leadership, seeking unity of thinking, and clarifying the guiding ideology; ②formulating rigorous and detailed plans so as to guarantee a steady transition; ③making proper arrangements for the placement of the staff after the change of the property right system so as to ensure the ideological stability of the staff.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Zusanli moxibustion intervention in abdominal distention with enteral nutrition after stomach cancer surgery.Methods One hundred patients who had undergone stomach cancer surgery and received postoperative enteral nutrition were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 50 cases each. The control group received medication and the treatment group, Zusanli moxibustion in addition. Post-treatment incidences and grading scores of abdominal distention were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence of abdominal distention was 6.0% in the treatment group and 24.0% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The grading score of abdominal distention was (0.33±0.58) in the treatment group and (0.92±1.00) in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Zusanli moxibustion can effectively prevent the occurrence of abdominal distention in patients with enteral nutrition after stomach cancer surgery.

This study was aimed to establish the ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) fingerprints of Psoralea corylifolia L. The separation was achieved on a Shim-pack XR-ODS Ⅲ column (50 mm í 2.0 mm, 1.6μm) by gradient elution with acetonitrile-0.2% glacial acetic acid solution as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 0.1 mL·min-1 and the measurement wavelength was 246 nm. The temperature of the column was 45oC. The results showed that the UHPLC fingerprint of P. corylifolia L. was established and 10 characteristic common peaks were found, among which 6 peaks were recognized by comparing with reference substances. It was concluded that the method was rapid, reliable and reproducible. The established fingerprint can provide references for the study of sub-stance basis and quality control of P. c orylifolia L.

Objective To study the effect of ethonal on the dopaminergic system by analyzing the altered expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine transporter (DAT) in the brain of ethanol-treated rats. Methods Sixty Wistar rats were selected and divided into control group and ethanol-treated group, 30 per group, the ethanol-treated rats were treated with 20% ethanol for 6 months. Immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and Western blotting were used to analyze the altered expression of TH and DAT in the DA energic system in different brain regions of the ethanol treated rats. Results 1. Immunohistochemistry showed the mean gray value of TH in substantia nigra(SN)-ventrotegmental area (VTA), caudae putamen (Cpu) and nucleus accumbens (NACC), DAT in Cpu and NACC of the ethanol were smaller than those in control (P<0.05). 2. Flow cytometry showed the expression of TH in middle brain of the ethanol-treated rats increased significantly compared with the control(P<0.05). 3. Western blotting showed the ratio of IA of TH/β-actin and DAT/β-actin in different brain regions of the ethanol-treated rats were larger than those in control(P<0.05).Conclusion Ethanol treatment increases the expression of TH and DAT in rat brain.
