Objective To detect the effect of chitosan gel on rectal injury which was induced by acetic acid. Methods 36 rats were anesthetized, 4% acetic acid swab was placed into the rectum (3 cm in depth for 1 min) to establish rectum injury model. These rats were divided into model control group, positive control group and drug group with 12 rats each group randomly. Chitosan gel was given to the drug group through anus with the dose of 1 575 mg·kg-1 , and hemorrhoid cream (1 575 mg·kg-1 ) was administered in the positive control group for 6 successive days. At 30 min, 1, 4, 6 day( s) after administration, 3 rats of each group were sacrificed, and were dissected, rectal injury and rectal pathology morphology changing of each group at different time points of administration were compared through visual observation. Results At 30 min, 1, 4, and 6 day(s) after administrating chitosan gel, score of rectum mucosa injury in dury group was lower than those in model control and positive control group. Pathological changes ( including epithelial tissue necrosis, mesenchyme hyperemia, hemorrhage, edema, gland injury, infiltration of inflammatory cells) were significantly slighter in drug group than in model control group and positive control group. Those lesions were restored faster in drug group than in model control group and positive control group, and there was no obvious scar. Conclusion Chitosan gel can obviously alleviate the rectal injury caused by 4% acetic acid and has therapeutic effect.

Platelet play an important role in cerebral ischemial nerve injury. Aspirin (ASA) had been used to treat and prevent stroke in clinic. 30 rabbits were randomly divided into A, B and C groups. In group A ASA was given orally at a daily dosage of 15 mg/kg per rabbit for 5 days before cerebral ischemia; group B cerebral ischemia without giving ASA, and group C was normal rabbits as controls. The cerebral ischemial model was produced by occluding bilateral carotid arteries and bleeding from femoral artery. The results indicated that there was an obvious decrease of PAgT and TXA_2 and had no significance changes in free radicals increasing and Ca~(2+) rising from cerebral tissue in group A. The cerebral edema of group A was less severe than group B. It seemed that ASA had a protective effect on the nerve injury of cerebral ischemia. The derangement of ASA, platelet, free radicals and calcium ions interrelation and their significance on the nerve injury should be further studied.

Objective To study the CT and MRI features of primary middle ear carcinoma invading jugular foramen.Methods CT and MRI images of 7 patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed primary middle ear carcinoma invading jugular foramen were analyzed retrospectively,including high resolution CT (HRCT) scan in 6 cases,CT enhancement scan in 1 case and MR plain and enhancement scan in 7 cases.Results On HRCT,the soft tissue lesions mainly located in tympanum,tympanic sinus,the deep of external auditory canal and jugular foramen,and irregular “moth-eaten” bone destruction could be seen,including the destruction of jugular foramen in 7 cases,eustachian tube in 7 cases,facial nerve canal in 4 cases,carotid artery canal in 4 cases,external auditory canal wall in 3 cases,auditory ossicles in 2 cases,vestibular window and horizontal semicircular canal in 1 case.CT plain scan showed the density of soft tissue mass was uniform in 4 cases with CT value of 30-55 HU,and heterogeneous in 2 cases,in which small pieces high density lesions could be found.CT enhancement scan in 1 case revealed moderate and homogeneous enhancement.On MR plain scan,the soft tissue masses with hazy margins could be seen,and compared to the gray matter of brain,the lesions were isointense or slightly hypointense on T1 WI and isointense or slightly hyperintense on T2 WI.The signal was homogeneous in 5 cases and inhomogeneous in 2 cases with small pieces of hypointensity both on T1WI and T2WI.After enhancement,the lesions were enhanced moderately and homogeneously in 5 cases and inhomogeneously in 2 cases with small pieces of nonenhanced area.MRI also showed the erosion of carotid artery in 4 cases,sigmoid sinus in 1 case.Conclusion The primary middle ear carcinoma can invade the jugular foramen area extensively,which may lead to misdiagnosis.HRCT can precisely depict the bone destruction and the invasion of the important anatomic structures in the primary middle ear carcinoma,and the destruction of eustachian tube can help to reduce misdiagnosis.MRI can more clearly show the extent of tumor and the mass signal and enhancement pattern.

Abstract Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic disorder syndrome caused by purine metabolism dysregulation, and its prevalence increases year by year. The development and progression of HUA are accompanied by significant alterations in the composition of intestinal microbiota, making probiotics a potential and safe method to reduce serum uric acid. Probiotics ameliorate HUA through three pathways: competing with intestinal epithelial cells for purine absorption to decrease uric acid synthesis, inhibiting xanthine oxidase activity through modulation of inflammatory cytokines to reduce the conversion of purine to uric acid, as well as restoring and maintaining an orderly state of the gut microbiota to facilitate normal uric acid excretion. This article reviews the role of probiotics in ameliorating HUA, so as to provide the reference for the application of probiotics in the prevention and intervention of HUA.

Purpose:The image information and technique of positron emitter nuclei generated by high energy X-ray photonuclear reactions with body tissues from MM50 is studied.It is explored to verify for dose delivery and location monitoring in tumor target after high energy photon radiation therapy with the image information.Materials and Methods:The technique is based on the photonuclear reactio-as in body tissues elemental composition ~(12)C,~(16)O and ~(14)N with high energy X-Ray,energies well above 20 MeV,resulting primarily in ~(11)C and ~(15)O but also ~(13)N.The induced positron activity distributions were scanned off-line in a PET/CT after irradiation.The activity distributions and position may be used to verify for dose delivery and location in tumor target.These radiations are similar to RT in three fields with some different dose delivery from TPS.The phantom began to be scanned off-line in a PET/CT a couple of minutes after irradiation.The scanning time is respectively 20 minutes and(2～5)mniutes for ~(12)C and ~(16)O.The levels of the beam energy are 10MV,25MV,50 MV.The extent of dose is 1.0 Gy～10.0 Gy.Since measured PET images change with time post irradiation,as a result of the different decay tim-es of the radionuclides,the signals from activated ~(12)C,~(16)O within the irradiated volume could be separated from each other.Most informationis obrained from the carbon and oxygen radionuclide's which the most abundant elements are in soft tissue.A brain phantom Rlade oneself was irradiated with high energy X-ray beams from IBA MM50.The 3D radiation treatment planning system,Nucletron-TPP 3.2,was used to calculate the delivered dose distributions.The phantom was directly simulated in the Nucletron-TPP after CT scan.PET/CT is fro-m GE Discovery LS Ⅱ.Resuits:It was confirmed that no activity was detected at 10 Mv X-ray energy,which was far below the energy threshold for photonuclear reactions.Totally 25 MV X-ray beams can produce photonuclear reactions and get to activity distributions images in PET/CT.It need to greater dose in order to good images information.For 50 MV X-ray beams,2 Gy-3 Gy dose,a normal RT dose,can get to activity distributions images.Conclusions:It was concluded that the PET-CT image acquired from the activity of the ~(15)O and ~(11)C positron emitter nuclei might provide the area and dose distribution information of 50 MV X-ray irradiation in a phantom.It can verify the in vivo dose delivery and location in tumor target after high energy X-ray RT.

AIM: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of angiotensin-(1-7) on cardiac hypertrophy in pressure-overloaded rats. METHODS: Ar at model of pressure-overloaded heart was induced by constriction of abdominal aorta. Seventy-five male Sprague Dawley rats were randomized to sham-operated group, model control group and angiotensin-(1-7) treatment group. They were treated with intravenous infusion of angiotensin-(1-7) (25 microgram/kg per hour) or saline by minipump. RESULTS: Abdominal aortic banding resulted in a significant increases in LVW/BW, myocardial angiotensinⅡlevels, and p-ERK1/2 expression. Angiotensin-(1-7) had no effect on aortic banding-induced increases in myocardial angiotensinⅡlevels, but it significantly attenuated aortic banding-induced increases in LVW/BW and p-ERK1/2 expression. CONCLUSION: Angiotensin-(1-7) attenuates the development of cardiac hypertrophy in pressure-overloaded rats. It may be associated with the inhibition of p-ERK1/2 expression in cardiac tissue.
