Hedgehog(HH),a vital endodermal signal,plays a critical role in the embryonic development of the GI system.During mammalian embryonic development,deficiency of HH signaling leads to gastrointestinal malformations.Nevertheless,normal presence of HH family is also found in the adult gut,and HH signaling now may be important for homeostasis of the gut in such a case.However,many researches revealed that the HH signal's involved in gastrointestinal carcinogenesis and its role is altered in various tumors due to various mechanisms.This review focused on the progress of HH signal pathway in gastrointestinal tumors.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of trigonelline in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes during hypoxia /reoxygenation and its mechanism .Methods The neonatal rat cardiomyocytes was randomly divided into the normal control group , the hypoxia/reoxygenation group and the trigonelline group .Flow cytometry was used to determine the apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential .The levels of SOD and MDA were measured in different groups .Western blot method was used to measure the procaspase‐9 ,cleaved caspase‐9 ,procaspase‐3 and cleaved caspase‐3 protein level .Results Trigonelline could inhibit apoptosis (P<0 .05) ,enhanced activity of SOD (P<0 .05) ,reduce production of MDA (P<0 .05) ,stabilize the mitochondrial membrane potential (P<0 .05) and activate caspase‐9 and caspase‐3 in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes during hypoxia/reoxygenation .Conclusion Trigo‐nelline could protect myocardial cells from injury caused by hypoxia and reoxygenation ,and the mechanism may be associated with anti‐lipid peroxidation and stabilizing mitochondria membrane potential .

Objective: To analyze the application value of radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging in the localization and diagnosis for stable angina pectoris in clinical practice. Methods: A total of 70 patients who had been diagnosed with stable angina pectoris (SAP) were enrolled, and all patients underwent ATP-loaded ATP-99Tcm-MIBI (99Tcm-MIBI) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and coronary angiography (CAG) were used to compare the accuracy of MPI imaging in localization and diagnosis for SAP. Results:In the 70 cases of patients with two methods of examination: ①In MPI diagnosis, positive patients were 50 cases, and the positive predictive value of SAP, sensitivity, negative predictive value and specificity were, respectively, 92.0%, 90.2%, 75.0% and 78.9%. There were 45 patients were consistently diagnosed as SAP by the two methods and the total compliance rate was 90.0%. ②in 70 patients, 51 cases were diagnosed as SAP by CAG examination, the positive rate was 72.9%; ③in 50 MPI positive patients, 46 patients were consistent with the results of CAG diagnosis, and the positive rate was 92.0%. The difference between the two methods was statistically significant (x2= 5.72, P<0.05). Conclusion: 99Tcm-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging can be used as a gatekeeper in patients with stable angina pectoris, and has high application value in the location and diagnosis for stable angina pectoris. The diagnosis and treatment links of stable angina pectoris can save costs and provide a reliable evidencet for clinical practice.

Objective To study the serum lipid levels and prevalence of lipid abnormalities in Uygur,Hasake,Mongolians,Han adults(≥30years)of Boertala region of Xinjiang.Methods From Sep.to Nov.2004,3 300 subjects were gathered from baseline survey of hypertension epidemiology in Boertala region.All participants had a physical examination and serum lipid test.Results TC age corrected mean levels were 4.77,4.69,4.86,4.64,HDL-C(mmol/L)was 1.33,1.46,1.48,1.41,LDL-C(mmol/L)was 2.78,2.65,2.70,2.48 TG(mmol/L);median TG was 1.15,1.06,1.18,1.28,prevalence of lipid abnormalities was 57.4%,46.6%,50.3%,51.8%in Uygur,Hasake,Mongolian and Han adults.Conclusion The mean lipid level is not high,but prevalence of lipid abnormalities is high in the subjects

It is rare that large mixed tumors of salivary gland located in the nose and uvula. The patient who had mixed tumors of salivary gland at nose found exophytic growth tumor for half a year. The other patient who had mixed tumors of salivary gland at uvula felt swallowing foreign body sensation for one year, and dysphagia for one month. After surgical resection, the symptoms disappear.

The mechanism of Tongmai Oral Liquid (TOL) for chronic nephritis rat model with Qi-deficiency and blood-stasis syndrome was studied.The model was established by adding Qi-deficiency and blood-stasis syndrome to the chronic nephritis rats. The experimental rats were randomly allocated to 5 groups: Group A (treated with high dosage of TOL), Group B (treated with low dosage of TOL), Group C (treated with Jinshuibao), Group D (model control group) and Group E (normal control group). After 4 weeks of treatment, general health state, biochemical indexes including T lymphocyte subgroup and blood rheology, and pathological damage of kidney tissue were much improved in Group A than Group B and Group C. It is indicated that TOL can improve the renal function and delay the occurrence of glomerular arteriosclerosis in rats by reinforcing Qi, activating blood flow, regulating immune function, lessening the hypercoagulative state and reducing renal damage.

OBJECTIVE:To study pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine in healthy volunteers, and to investigate the relationship of drug exposure with blood sampling time after treatment. METHODS: The data of trial at the first 12 blood sampling time points after medication were collected from bioequivalence test in 24 healthy volunteers (trial preparation vs. reference preparation). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to study the blood concentrations of cyclosporine at different sampling time points and the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC). RESULTS: The concentrations at two points were adopted to estimate AUC. The correlation coefficient of different cyclosporines could reach 0.9 with estimation deviations less than 15%. The AUC of cyclosporine of trial preparation could be estimated by C8 and C12, and that of reference preparation by C2.5 and C12. CONCLUSION: The AUC estimated by concentrations at two points can meet clinical demand. There is great difference in estimate point among different preparations.

Objective To evaluate the effects of postconditioning with enalapril on myocardial injury induced by hind limb ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Thirty-six healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =12 each):group sham operation (group S),group I/R and group enalapril postconditioning (group EP).Limb ischemia was induced by occlusion of bilateral hind limbs for 3 h followed by 3 h reperfusion in groups I/R and EP.At 30 min before reperfusion,enalapril 0.04 mg/kg was injected via the internal jugular vein in group EP,while the equal volume of normal saline was injected in groups S and I/R.The rats were sacrificed at 3 h of repeffusion and myocardial specimens were obtained for microscopic examination of pathologic changes and for determination of cell apoptosis,Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression,superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in myocardial tissues.Apoptosis index was calculated.Results Compared with group S,apoptosis index and MDA content were significantly increased,Bax protein expression was up-regulated,Bcl-2 protein expression was down-regulated,and SOD activity was decreased in groups I/R and EP (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group I/R,apoptosis index and MDA content were significantly decreased,Bax protein expression was down-regulated,Bcl-2 protein expression was up-regulated,and SOD activity was increased in group EP (P ＜ 0.05).The pathologic changes were significantly attenuated in group EP as compared with group I/R.Conclusion Enalapril postconditioning can attenuate myocardial injury induced by hind limb I/R in rats,and the mechanism may be related to reduction of apoptosis in cardiomyocytes and lipid peroxidation.
