Objective To investigate the relationship between sonic hedgehog(SHH)signaling pathway and chronic pancreatitis.Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into the model group,experimental control group and blank control group,and there were 10 rats in each group.Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid was infused into the pancreatic duct of the rats to induce pancreatitis in the model group.The pancreatic duct of the rats in the experimental control group were infused with 0.9％ sodium chloride solution.No treatment was performed on rats in the blank control group.The serum levels of bilirubin and amylase of the 3 groups were determined,and the histopathological alterations were studied.Expressions of patched-1(PTCH-1),smoothened (SMO)and SHH were detected by immunohistochemistry.All data were analyzed using the analysis of variance or Student's t test.Results The levels of total bilirubin(TBil)in the model group,experimental control group and blank control group from day 1 to day 35 were(3.17 ±0.21)μmol/L-(9.28 ±2.15)μmol/L,(3.44 ±0.54)μmol/L-(3.76 ± 0.15)μmol/L,(2.45 ± 0.32)μmol/L-(3.27 ± 1.43)μmol/L,respectively.The levels of amylase in the model group,experimental control group and blank control group were(1124 ± 143)U/L-(1522 ± 169)U/L,(1123 ± 104)U/L-(1007 ± 141)U/L,(1014 ± 115)U/L-(1013 ± 142)U/L,respectively.Compared with the experimental group and the blank control group,the serum levels of TBil and amylase in the model group were increased significantly from day 7 to day 35(F =14.81,16.27,18.13,11.49,17.91;11.54,10.24,12.64,21.11,15.38,P ＜ 0.05),and fibrotic proliferation of pancreatic tissues were found at day 35;the expressions of PTCH-1,SMO and SHH in the pancreatic tissue was increased significantly in the model group.Conclusion SHH signaling pathway is activated in the tissue of pancreatitis in rats,it might play an important role in the genesis of pancreatitis.

Methods Gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 and MGC803 were cultured,and then different concentrations of histone acetylase inhibitors curcumin and histone deacetylase inhibitor TSA were added,respectively.mRNA of c-myc expression wasdetected by RT-PCR. Results With increasing of the concentration of curcumin and redcuing of the TSA concentrations c-myc expression was inhibited (P

Objective To establish the blood glucose fluctuation diabetic rat model by subcutaneous injecting insulin. Method The male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned into two groups, normal group ( n =20) and model group ( n =40). Normal group rats were fed with normal diet, model group rats were fed with a high-sucrose-high-fat diet. After 6 weeks, a low dose of streptozotocin ( STZ ,30mg/kg) was injected to induce hyperglycemia in model group rats. And then the model group rats were ran-dom divided into two subgroups, diabetic group ( n = 20) and blood glucose fluctuation group ( n = 20). Blood glucose fluctuation group rats were induced by subcutaneous injecting insulin twice daily. All rats were executed after intervening for 3 months, metabolic cages were used to collect 24-hour urine one week before all rats were executed. Results The average blood glucose levels (MBG), the standard deviation of daily aver-age blood glucose (SDBG) and the largest amplitude of glycemic excursions (LAGE) were significant differ-ent (P<0. 05) among normal group, diabetic group and blood glucose fluctuation group. The 24 hours, pro-teinuria of diabetic group and blood glucose fluctuation group was higher than that in normal group[( 100. 38±7. 99)mg/24h vs (18. 13±1.41)mg/24h, (123. 71±11.23) mg/24h vs (18.13 ± 1.41 ) mg/24h, P <0.01] , and blood glucose fluctuation group was higher than diabetic group[(123. 71 ± 11.23 )mg/24h vs(100.38±7.99)mg/24h, P <0.05] . Conclusions The blood glucose fluctuation diabetic rats model was successfully induced by the method of subcutaneous insulin injection in diabetic rats twice daily.

With the advances in techniques of localization, numerous minimally invasive parathyroid surgery were developed including open minimal incision and endoscopic approaches. According to the research results and the experiences from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the indication and preoperative preparation were discussed in this paper. Some suggestions were given for minimally invasive parathyroid surgery in China.

BACKGROUND: The feasibility and the mechanism of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for the treatment of liver cirrhosis need to be discussed in-depth. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel transplantation through portal vein on the liver function and tissue pathological changes of the rats with liver cirrhosis. METHODS: Carbon tetrachloride was used to prepare rat model of liver cirrhosis. After the success of modeling, the rats in the cel transplantation group received portal vein injection of 1 mL 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine -labeled human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (5×106), the model group was injected with the same volume of PBS; the normal rats received 1 mL human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel transplantation via the portal vein were as the control group. At 4 weeks after transplantation, the rat tail vein blood and liver tissue were obtained for testing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 4 weeks after cel transplantation, compared with the model group, levels of serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and total bilirubin in the cel transplantation group were significantly decreased, while the albumin level was increased significantly (P < 0.01); the liver cel inflammatory necrosis, steatosis and liver fibrosis were improved significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining showed that human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel colonization could be seen in the rat liver tissues of the cel transplantation group and control group, but the number of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine-positive cells in cel transplantation group was significantly larger than that in the control group. Reverse transcription-PCR test result showed that the expressions of cytokeratin 18 and albumin mRNA could be observed in the rat liver tissue of the cel transplantation group, but no expression could be seen in the control group. It is visible that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can improve liver function and pathological damage of liver cirrhosis rats in a certain extent, which may relate with the intrahepatic homing colonization and hepatocyte-like cel differentiation of the transplanted cells in the liver cirrhosis rats.

Objective To develop the formulation of self-microemulsifying drug delivery system for hawthorn leaves flavonoids (HAW-SMEDDS). Methods The optimum formulations of oil phase, surfactant, and assistant surfactant for HAW-SMEDDS were screened by solubility test, compatibility test, and pseudo-ternary phase diagrams, with the time of formulating microemulsion, the consequence of visual examination, and particle size as indexes. The dissolution of HAW-SMEDDS was measured, taking the commercial tablet Yixintong Tablet as reference. Results The optimum self-microemulsifying drug delivery system was composed of Labrasol (35%), Transcutol P (10%). The particle diameter was (39.5?5.4) nm, the time of self-microemulsifying was less than 1 min. The percent of accumulated dissolution of hawthorn leaves flavonoids in SMEDDS in distilled water was up to 70% at 10 min, while that in the Yixintong Tablet was less than 50% at 60 min. Conclusion The formulation of HAW-SMEDDS preparation could meet the request of the design. It could provide the reference for the new dosage form.
