Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease(ADPKD),a common inherited disease,is characterized by massive enlargement of fluid-filled renal cysts.Progressively enlarging cysts compromise normal renal parenchyma,reduce renal function and lead to renal failure.Up to now,the treatment options for ADPKD have been limited to renal replacement therapy by dialysis or by transplantation for patients with end-stage renal failure.Inhibition of cyst fluid secretion,suppression of cyst epithelial cell growth and prevention of renal failure are new approaches to treat PKD.

Objective To probe into the treatment effect of Sibelium to hypertensive cerebral vascular lesion and its mechanism.Methods After preparing the model of renovascular hypertensive rats (RHR), we observed the changes of the arterial blood pressure, the cerebral blood velocity, and the pathology of cerebral vascular with treatment of Sibelium. Results The arterial blood pressure of the rats taking medicine 2 to 4 weeks later was lower obviously than RHR of no taking medicine at the same stage, The pathological changes of basal cerebral arteries in the rats were milder than RHR of no taking medicine after treating 4 to 6 weeks. These effects may keep 2 to 4 weeks.Conclusion At early stage of hypertension,Sibelium can reduce the arterial blood pressure of RHR, and stop the progress of cerebral vascular lesion.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of combined splenorenal shunt and portaazygous devascularization on bleeding esophageal varices.Methods We summarized 120 cases suffering from esophageal variceal bleeding treated by splenorenal shunt plus portaazygods devascularization,from April,1978 to April,1997.Results The operative mortality was 4.2%,no short-term postoperative bleeding,and long-term postoperative bleeding rate was 9.5%,postoperative hepatic encephalopathy rate was 4.8%.Five,ten and fifteen years survival rate were 83.6%,64.5% and 54.5% respectively. The portal hemodynamics was observed by means of Doppler flowmeter,DSA,and intraoperative portal pressure measurement in some of the patients.Conclusion The result showed that combined shunt and portaazygous devacularization not only preserve the advantage of devacularization but also decrease the portal pressure and blood volume,alleviating portal hyperhemodynamics while preserve hepatopetal blood flow to some extent.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of the estrogen receptor beta isoforms and survivin in thyroid tumors. Methods The pathological data of 125 patients with thyroid tumors were, collected from june 2003 to june 2007 in our institution, including thyroid carcinoma (86 cases), thyroid follicular adenoma (39 cases) and normal thyroid tissue (10cases). SP immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expressions of ERβ and survivin in the thyroid tumors. Results ERβ not only was detected in the thyroid epithelial cell plasma and nuclear, but also in the stroma. The positive rate of ERβ in cases with thyroid carcinoma, adenoma and normal thyroid tissue were 83.72 %, 51.28 % and 20.00 % respectively. There was significant difference between carcinoma and the adenoma or normal thyroid tissue (P<0.05). The positive rate of survivin in cases with carcinoma, adenoma and normal thyroid tissue were 59.30 %, 17.95 % and 0 respectively. There was significant difference between carcinoma and the adenoma or normal thyroid tissue (P<0.05). The expressions of ERβ and survivin correlated with TNM staging and lymph node metastasis of thyroid carcinoma (P<0.05). Conclusion ERβ may play a role in accelerating proliferation in the occurrence of the thyroid carcinoma. The expressions of ERβ and survivin are related to invasion and metastasis of thyroid carcinoma.

Aim To investigate the influences on the aortal structure of rats with long-term high fat forages diet.Methods 14 SD rats were divided into two groups:the control group and the test group. The test rats were fed with high fat forages.12 weeks later, the aortas of the rats were observed with a light microscope, transmission electron microscope(TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).Results In the test group, the aortic tunica intima thickening, endotheliocyte injury and monocyte adhesion were found with a light microscope; the elastic lamina being broken and the smooth muscle cells proliferated. Under TEM, the endothelial cell membrane of the aorta in the test rats was destroyed and appeared to be worm-eclipsed shape.Mitochondria exhibited swelling,vacuole degeneration and its cristae was dissolved, broken or some disappeared.Rough endoplasmic reticula (RER) expanded. The endothelial cell spaces were enlarged and the cell junctions deformed. Monocytes adhering to the endothelial cell stretched out pseudopodia and intruded into the endothelial crevice and the subendothelial layer. Some basement membranes completely sloughed following with endothelial cell. ERE and ribosomes increased in smooth muscle cells. SEM observation showed that the endothelial cells became swelling and the surface of endothelial cell was worm-eclipsed or crater shape. There were deeper crevices between endothelial cells.Conclusions Long-term high fat forages diet can induce injury of the endothelium and elastic lamina, adhesion of the monocytes and its intrusion into endothelial layer and subendothelial layer, proliferation of the subendothelial layer and smooth muscle in the aorta of rats.

Objective To research the expression of the estrogen receptor alpha ( Erα) and estrogen receptor beta ( Erβ) in uvea tissues of the female rats, and to provide molecular biology data for further studies of the relation estrogen to uvea diseases. Methods Twenty-two adolescent SD female rats were selected. All rats were killed by dislocation of cervical vertebra, the eyeballs were in paraffin imbedding and made to a series of sections, using immunohistochemical method;Erα and Erβ distribution were investigated in uvea tissue of rats;and quantitied by Tanaka scores analytical method. The uteri of rats was used as positive control and PBS as negative control. The level of estradiol in serum of the rats were examined by radioimmunoassay. Results The expression level of Erβ was moderate or highter in stroma cell, anterior pigment epithelium as well as pasterior pigment epithelium of the iris, unpigmented epithelium, pigmented ciliary epithelium and vascular endocemet of the choroid layers. But Erα was not obviously expressed in uvea tissues. The expression rate of Erβ was higher than Erα in these tissues(P＜0.05). Immnoreactivity positive substance was granule, which was distributed in the cytoplasm or in the nucleus. The level of estradiol in serum of the rats was (22.13±3.54)ng/L.Conclusion The expression of either Erα or Erβ in uvea tissues of rats is mainly in Erβ. The results indicate that uvea tissue is regulated directly by estrogen throught Erβ.

AIM: To study the effect of hypertensive arteriosclerosis on cerebral blood flow autoregulation (CBFA), and to introduce a new method to measure the lower limit. METHODS: The blood velocities and blood pressure was recorded simultaneously and the curves of CBFA were analyzed and classified into classical and non-classical pattern. The lower limit were determined by clinical closing pressure (CCP) and the curve CBFA. RESULTS: When the blood pressure was decreasing, the classical and non-classical pattern of the cerebral blood flow autoregulation were 25% and 75% respectively in normal SD rats, while they were 40.55% and 54.45% respectively in renovascular hypertensive rats (RHR). However, when the blood pressure was elevating, the classical and non-classical pattern were 76.47% and 23.53% respectively in SD rats, while they were all classical in RHR. Furthermore, in SD and RHR ras, the lower limits measured by CCP were well in accordance with that measured by CBFA. CONCLUSION: Hypertensive arteriosclerosis could influence the limits and the patterns of cerebral blood flow autoregulation. The lower limit of CBFA can be measured and analyzed by CCP.

Objective 　To establish a new practical method to assess the cerebral blood flow autoregulation. Methods　We assessed the flow velociey of middle cerebral artery with transcranial Doppler and recorded invasively the blood presure simultaneonsly. Then on the basis of critical closing pressure (CCP), the lower limit of cerebral blood flow autoregulation and the blood flow resistance of arterioles were calculated.The data compared with the results generated by routine method. Results　The lower limit of autoregulation working out by CCP was 70.88±24.05 mmHg, which was similar to the result measured by routine method. The lower limit of autoregulation and the arteriole resistance in RHR were significantly higher than those of normal controls, and highly relate to arterial blood pressure significantly, especially pulse pressure. Conclusions　The physiology and pathology of cerebral blood flow can be evaluated conveniently and accurately by assessment of the lower limit of autoregulation and arterioles resistance with CCP.
