A biological study was made to estimate the influence of excess dietary zinc, in vivo, on iron and copper status and their antagonism. Chicks were randomly divided into four groups (n= 22 each) according to body weight and were fed on experimental diet with different amounts of zinc, iron and copper for 28 days. The results were as follows; 1. Excess dietary zinc (400ppm) caused retardation of growth rate in experimental chicks, hypochromic anemia, elevation of blood and tissues (liver, kidney) zinc levels and lowering iron, copper and ceruloplasmin content,and eryth-rocyte Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase activity; 2. Copper alone supplemented up to 40ppm to the excess zinc diet was able to improve the growth rate, body copper status and Cu-Za-superoxide dismutase activity, but no effect on anemia and body iron status; 3. Iron and copper were supplemented up to 400ppm and 40ppm respectively to excess zinc diet at same time, all the parameters were similar to the chicks fed basal diet. These data suggested that supplement of iron and copper at proper proportion to excess zinc diet can prevent the adverse effects of excess zinc on chicks.

Objectives: Inquirying the ability of the earlier diagnosis and studying the surgical management of intra and extra middle skull base tumors. Methods: A retrospective study has been made on 43 cases of malignant skull base tumor extended into cavernouse sinus. CT and MRI evaluation were made for all patients. Different approaches have been utilized to remove tumors. Results: In early period there was no obviously clinical sign. 5 year survival rate was 35.1%. Seven cases of no removing totally tumors in cavernous sinus had been alive for 7 months. Conclusions: The symptoms of skull base carcinoma is less, which often leads to false diagnosis and management. Total resection via different approaches may improve clinical results.

Objective To investigate the influences of Xuebijing injection on organs' ultra-microstructure in septic shock rats. Methods Fifteen male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats of clean grade were selected. According to the method of random digits table, all of them were divided into three groups: sham operation group, model group and Xuebijing treated group, 5 rats being in each group. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was adopted to reproduce abdominal cavity infection leading to sepsis model formation. While the rats in sham operation group just underwent abdominal median incision, abdominal exploration and closure of abdominal wall after flipping retrocecal region. In the Xuebijing treated group, within 1 hour after the operation, Xuebijing injection (4 mL/kg) was transfused through the catheter inserted in the femoral vein, and then normal saline (2 mL·kg-1·h-1) was continuously transfused until the rat being sacrificed. In the sham operation group and model group, equal volume of normal saline was given after operation. The blood pressure of all the rats was monitored continuously by a pressure device connected with a catheter inserted in the right carotid artery. The rats were observed for 12 hours, afterwards they were sacrificed, the samples of heart, lung, kidney and liver were taken, and their ultrastructural changes were observed under an electron microscope. Results The blood pressure of sham operation group was decreased a little with time extension, but within normal limits. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) of model group and Xuebijing treated group developed into a state of sepsis shock at 9 hours and 10 hours after operation respectively, and MAP were lower than 70 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). The MAP levels of model and Xuebijing groups at 11 hours after operation were lower significantly than those of sham operation group (mmHg:58.7±7.0, 58.7±8.3 vs. 91.0±8.2, both P<0.01), and they were persistently decreased at 12 hours after operation;the MAP in Xuebijing group was a little higher than that of model group at the same period (mmHg:55.4±4.0 vs. 48.8±12.9, P>0.05). The results of the observation with electron microscope:the structures of heart, lung, liver and kidney in sham operation group were basically normal;all the organs of model group appeared different degrees of structural damage. Compared with model group, the injury of heart and lung in Xuebijing treated group was milder, especially, the changes of cellular mitochondria were obvious;however, there was no significant difference in injury of kidney and liver between the model and Xuebijing treated groups. Conclusion Xuebijing injection can play a certain role in stabilizing the circulatory system in rats with septic shock, and can possibly ameliorate the heart and lung damage caused by infection and shock.

Objective To investigate the changes in regional cerebral blood flow and its relationship with atrophy of the entorhinal cortex in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods Twenty eight patients including ten cases with aMCI,nine case with mild AD and nine cases with moderate to severe AD were enrolled.The cognitive function was evaluated by revised version of Hasegawa's Dementia Scale (HDS-R) and Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive part (ADAS-cog).Regional cerebral blood flow was evaluated by 99mTc-ECD SPECT and easy Z score imaging system (eZIS).Z scores of voxel-based specific regional analysis system for Alzheimer's disease (VSRAD) were used to assess the degree of atrophy of the entorhinal cortex.Results The Z-score in eZIS was lower in mild to severe AD group than in aMCI group [(1.57±0.46),(1.50±0.54) vs.(1.00±0.50),F=4.58,P=0.022],which showed that the regional cerebral blood flow of cingulate was lower in AD group than in aMCI group.The Z-score in eZIS in bilateral frontal lobes and left hippocampus were higher in moderate to severe AD group than those in aMCI group than in aMCI and mild AD group respectively [(1.43± 0.79) vs.(0.67±0.50),(0.88±0.64); (1.43±0.79) vs.(0.67±0.50),(0.75±0.46); (1.86± 0.50) vs.(1.33±0.50),(1.75±0.46),F=2.90,3.81 and 3.06,respectively,P=0.077,0.039 and 0.068],which showed that the regional cerebral blood flow of bilateral frontal lobes and left hippocampus were lower in moderate to severe AD group than in aMCI group.The score of HDS-R had a negative correlation (r =-0.568,-0.481,P=0.004,0.017) and the score of ADAS-cog had a positive correlation (r=0.462,0.459; P =0.030,0.032) with regional cerebral blood flow in hippocampus.Conclusions The regional cerebral blood flow of cingulate gyrus is decreased in early stage of AD,and involves in frontal lobe and hippocampus along with the deterioration of diseases.The changes of cognitive function are correlated with cerebral blood flow in hippocampus.The Z-score in eZIS can effectively evaluate the changes of regional cerebral blood flow in aMCI and AD patients.

In order to establish more simple and effective rat orthotopic lung transplantation models, 20 rats were divided into donor and recipient groups. Rat lung transplantation models were established by using improved cuff technique. All the 10 operations were accomplished successfully. The mean operative time of recipients was 45 +/- 4 min. The survival time was over 30 days after lung transplantation. The checks of X-ray were almost normal. There was no significant difference in the blood gas analysis before and after clipping the right hilum (P > .05). This method is more simple, applicable and requires less time.
