Objective:To adopt the brain lesion model of mouse induced by overload aluminum to study the relationship between monoamine oxidase B disorder and neurodegeneration induced by overload aluminum(Al).Method:Aluminum overload models were established by injection of 3?l AlCl3 into lateral ventricle of miceeach day for 5d.The AlCl3 solutions injected in different modelswere with different concentrations and they were 0.125%,0.25%,0.5%.On d10,d20,and d30 after the final administration of AlCl3 solution,the learning and memory function of mice,pathomorphology of hippocampi,and MAO-B activity were determined.Results:Aluminum overload elevated MAO-B activity,caused karyopyknosis and loss of neurons in CA1 area of hippocampi,in dose-and time-dependent manners.Conclusion:The results indicate that neurodegeneration induced by Al toxicity may be related to the monoamine oxidase B homeostasis interfered by Al overload.

Raman bands of oleanolic acid were measured with laser Raman spectroscopy, and compared with that obtained fron IR spectroscopy. It was found that the corresponding characteristic bands of oleanolic acid can be identified in both speetroscopy.

Objective To investigate clinical characters of functional dyspepsia (FD) and organic dyspepsia (OD) and evaluate the Chinese management guideline of dyspepsia. Methods Three hundreds patients with epigastric dyspepsia symptoms received a series of examinations including a detailed investigation of symptoms, liver functions, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and B ultrasound, and then they were divided into OD and FD groups in accordance with Rome Ⅱ criteria. Results 153 (51.0%) and 147 cases (49.0%) were ascribed to FD and OD respectively. FD occurred more often at the age of less than 40 ( P =0.006). The scores of such symptoms as bloating( P

The success of yielding induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from human somatic cells demonstrates the important role of reprogramming in the formation of stem/progenitor cells and initiates the exploration of the origin of leukemia stem cells. In our previous work, we have found two types of leukemia, bona fide leukemia and non-bona fide leukemia. Different leukemias originate from different leukemia stem/progenitor cells which are critical to the genesis and evolution of leukemia. Bona fide leukemia and non-bona fide leukemia originate from leukemia stem cells and progenitor cells, respectively. Recent research suggests that different types of leukemia are influenced by the reprogramming state of their origin cells.

Purpose To study the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype and differential diagnosis of spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma in adults (SRMS).Methods The clinical,pathologic and immunohistochemical features were evaluated in 9 cases of SRMS in adults.Results Nine cases of SRMS in adults were retrieved from the pathological archive of this hospital. 7 cases were male and 2 were female. Patients age ranged from 20 to 80 years (median,45 years). The head and neck region,including the right mandible, pharyngeal portion, nasopharynx, and left maxillary,was the most commonly affected area, accounting for 44% of the cases, followed by forearm, waist, thigh, leg and testis(1 case each). Tumor size varied from 2 to 14 cm (median 5.9 cm).Histologically, all the tumors were mainly composed of cellular bands and fascicles of atypical spindlE-shaped tumor cells with a variable number of spindled or polygonal rhabdomyoblasts.In addition, focal areas reminiscent of interstitial sclerosing were presented in 2 cases, and pseudovascular structures were noted in 2 cases, loosely myxoid stroma were detected in 1 case and small solid areas with mild pleomorphic tumor cells were present, but lacking bizarre pleomorphic rhabdomyoblasts. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for vimentin, desmin, CD99 and MyoD1; Myogenin and MSA were positive in most of the cases (6/9 and 7/9 each); The remaining antibodies(S-100, CD34,CK and HMB-45) were all negative. Follow-up information was available in all the cases, ranged from 6 months to 4 years, revealed paravenous metastases of the peritoneal cavity in one patient with testis tumor and liver metastases in one patient with leg tumour. 4 patients developed local recurrences and 2 patients died of the disease.Conclusions SRMS is a rare neoplasm in adults,and most commonly occurs in male with preferential involvement in the head and neck region. It appears a more aggressive clinical course in adults. Morphologically, SRMS in adults should be differentiated from other spindle cell tumors.

[Summary] The mechanisms of gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD) include abnormal antireflux function and esophageal mucosa attacked by regurgitation .Gastroesophageal flap valve ( GEFV) located in the gastroesophageal junction is one mechanism of the antireflux barrier .An increased GEFV grade is associated with an increased incidence of erosive esophagitis and Barrett ’ s epithelium.With abnormal esophageal acid exposure and prevalence of a mechanically defective sphincter , patients usually have severe symptoms and lower efficiency of medication .Therefore , GEFV is valued in the diagnosis and treatment of GERD .This review summarized the relationship between GEFV and GERD .

Objective To investigate the efficacy of ultrasound guided injection of embryonic inactivation in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy.Methods Eighty cases of ectopic pregnancy were selected in the Second Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical College from June 2011 to June 2014, in accordance with the order of admission, they were divided into two group of each 40 cases.The control group carries on the conservative treatment, intramuscular injection of methotrexate (MTX) , while the observation group in transvaginal ultrasonography guided implantation of MTX.The curative effect of two groups was Compared.Results The observation group effective rate of the treatment was 92.5％ (37/40), significantly higher than that of control group(62.5％ (25/40) ,x2=10.32 ,P＜0.01).The patients of two groups with no due mass rupture and transit operation.The observation group mass less than or equal to 2 cm disappear time required was (15.4±2.6) d,significantly shorter in the control group((27.1±3)d,t=18.64,P＜0.01).Serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin decreased to normal time required was (13.7±6.1)d, significantly lower than that of the control group((18.4±7.2) d,t=3.15 ,P＜0.01).The adverse reaction rate in the observation group was 10％ (4/40), significantly lower than that of the control group (32.5％ (13/40), P =0.028).Conclusion Ultrasound guided injection of embryonic inactivation treatment for ectopic pregnancy have curative effect, can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and reduce adverse reaction.

Liver volume can reflect the change of parenchyma volume and functional reserve of liver.Liver volumetry is commonly achieved by imaging methods such as ultrasound,CT and MRI,while CT volumetry is most commonly used in clinical practice.This article discussed the decision making among different liver volumetry methods and associated applications in hepatectomy.

Objective: To assess the autonomic nervous impairm ent in chronic renal failure and its related factors. Methods: F orty adults were randomly selected including in-patients in the nephrology ward and healthy subjects for routine medical examination. The subjects were classifi ed into 4 groups: normal subjects(NS)，normal renal function，nitremia， uremic patients. The time domain measurements of heart rate variability(HRV) and ambula tory blood pressure were analyzed simultaneously . Results: (1) There were significant differences as compared with normal subjects in the time domain measurements of HRV in uremic group. It decreased significantly when the patient was defined as end stage chronic renal failure. There were no significan t differences between NS，normal renal function group and nitremic group. (2) Ti me domain measurements of HRV was significantly lower(P<0.05) in uremia with renal hypertension than in uremia with normal blood pressure. Conclusio n: (1) Patients with chronic renal failure(HRV) have their cardiac auton omic nervous system impaired conspicuously in the course of uremia. (2) There is a positive correlation between cardiac autonomic nervous system impairment in p atients with CRF and renal function levels. Uremia itself is an independent fact or for the impairment of cardiac autonomic nervous system. (3) Renal hypertensio n with uremia may intensify the impairment of cardiac autonomic nervous system of the patients.
