Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of atrovastatin on the expression of the NF-κB in renal tissues of diabetic rats.Methods A total of 60 male SD rats was randomly taken out 40 rats to make diabetic model by injection of 65mg streptozotoein (STZ) into enterocoelia,the rest of 20 rats were normal control group.After the model made,atrovastatin (2 mg/kg/d) was given to the treated group,and the normal control group and diabetic rats without treatment group were given equivalent water.After 12 weeks,the rats were killed.Total RNA of the renal tissues was isolated from one kidney for each rat,and the renal tissues from the another kidney was prepared for immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis.The NF-κB mRNA expressions among three groups were determined by RT-PCR.The distribution of NF-κB in the renal tissues was observed,and compared its difference among three groups.ResultsPCR showed that NF-κB mRNA was increased in the renal tissues of diabetic rats compared to control rats ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Drug-treated rats showed significantly decreased levels of NF-κB mRNA in the renal tissues compared to the untreated diabetic group( P ＜0.05).The results were also observed in protein lelel of NF-κB expression.IHC showed that there existed positive cells in the glomerular and renal tubulointerstitum.Conclusions Atrovastatin can down-regulate the expression of NF-κB and suppress the increased level of NF-κB protein in the renal tissue of diabetic rats,and slow the progress of retinopathy.

Purpose: To probe into the tissue damnification in progress of using modern madical instruments, the degest organs variation of low-voltage alternating current stimulation on thenar was observed. Method:the animals of experiment group were stimulated with 80V- 140V alternating current on time every days. At day of sixteenth these animals were killed,and liver and intestine histology were analyzed. Result: 1.the damnifications were distinctly in hepatocytes、hepatic sinusoid and portal area .2.the gland cells of small intestin and the cells ofsmooth muscle altered distinctly in morphology. Conclusion:Low-voltage alternating current could change the configuration of degest organs.

Objective To evaluate MRI measurement of basal ganglia volumes in patients with Tourette's syndrome.Methods Ten patients with Tourette's syndrome(TS)and 10 healthy volunteers were studied.Volumes of bilateral candate,putamen and pallidum were measured,and the results were analyzed using paired t test.The basal ganglia volume was normalized according to individual brain volume.The basal ganglia volumes of TS patients were compared with normal control group using independent-sample t tesL Results In 10 healthy volunteers,volumes of the left caudate,putamen,pallidum were significantly larger compared with those of the right side(P＜0.05).However,there were no significant differenees between bilateral basal ganglia volumes(P＞0.05)in TS patients.After normalized processing,the volumes oftlle left candate(7.06±0.48)cm3,putamen(8.81 ± 1.01)cm3,pallidum(2.64 ± 0.38)cm3were smaller than those of control group[caudate(11.05±1.86)cm3,putamen(9.97 ±1.11 ) cm3, paUidum (3.04 ± 0.37 ) cm3 ] (t= - 6.577, - 2.457, - 2.376, P＜0.05 ).The volume of the right caudate (7.32 ± 0.26) em3 in "IS patients was significantly smaller compared with the control group (9.81±1.83) cm3 (t = -4.258, P ＜0.01 ).However, the volumes of the right putamen and pallidum had no significant difference between two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion The basal ganglia volumes were significantly decreased in patients with TS.MRI volumetric measurement was an important tool for evaluating pathologic changes of TS.

Betatrophin is a new kind of secretory glycoprotein,which belongs to the angiopoietin like protein family.It ex-pressed in liver and adipose tissue,and their expression level are affected by age,gender and thyroid hormone. The active mechanism of Betatrophin mechanism is still unclear. It plays an important role in the islet beta cell proliferation and in the lipid metabolism. In this paper,we mainly focus on the structure of betatrophin and the related research on blood glucose and lipid,metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic fatty liver in recent years.

Objective To evaluate the 80 mm volume shuttle cerebral CT perfusion(CTP) and 4D-CT angiography (CTA) in patients with stenosis or occlusion in Willis circle.Methods Conventional cerebral plain CT, 80 mm CTP and dynamic 4D-CTA were performed in 55 patients with unilateral MCA/ ICA stenosis or occlusion.The parameter maps of cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT) and time to peak (TTP) were analyzed.Meanwhile dynamic 4D-CTA images were also obtained.The significance of the differences of CBF, CBV, MTT and TTP between the affected side and the contralateral side was assessed using K Independent Samples analysis.Results In 40 patients with unilateral stenosis or occlusion of MCA/ICA, CTP was found abnormal in 36 patients.MTT and TTP of affected side [(7.18 ±1.34), (19.65 ±1.81) s] were significantly prolonged compared to contralateral side [(5.22±1.14) s, (17.62±1.65) s, X~2 =30.833,25.817, P<0.017].Centrum ovale or parietal lobe ischemic lesions were observed in 16 patients on CTP.In 15 patients with bilateral stenosis or occlusion of MCA/ICA, CTP was observed abnormal in 10 patients.CBF, CBV, MTT and TTP of affected side [(42.85 ±6.09) ml·100 g~(-1)·min~(-1), (2.63 ±0.42) ml·100 g~(-1), (11.27 ±1.43) s, (21.07 ±1.44) s)] were significantly different from those of contralateral side [(71.20 ±6.30) ml·100 g~(-1)·min~(-1), (2.29 ±0.15) ml·100 g~(-1), (3.38 ±0.61) s, (17.64 ±1.70) s (X~2 =17.314, 5.913,17.334,13.834,P<0.017)].On 4D-CTA covering 80 mm (0.625 mm×l28), unilateral stenosis of MCA were observed in 22 patients (13 right MCA and 9 left MCA), unilateral occlusion were observed in 5 patients (1 right MCA and 4 left MCA) and bilateral MCA stenosis/occlusion were observed in 9 patients.4D-CTA covering Willis cycle can display stenosis/occlsion of MCA as same as conventional CTA and DSA.Conclusion 80 mm volume shuttle CTP and 4D-CTA provide valuable information about the hemodynamic changes and the abnormalities of intracranial artery in patients with MCA/ICA stenosis or occlusion.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effects of olecranon plate and tension band in the treatment of olecranon fracture.

METHODSSixty-three patients with olecranon fracture were treated with olecranon plate and tension band. Thirty-five patients (21 male and 14 female, aged from 15 to 62 years, with an average of 48.9 years) were involved in tension band group and 28 patients (20 male and 8 female, aged from 25 to 67 years, with an average of 50.6 years)were involved in plate group. According to the Delee, JC classification in 1984, there were type 1A in 5 cases, type 1B in 8 cases, type 2 in 17 cases, type 3 in 7 cases and type 4 in 1 case in tension band group; there were type 1A in 3 cases, type 1B in 5 cases, type 2 in 6 cases, type 3 in 11 cases and type 4 in 3 cases in plate group.

RESULTSSixty-three cases were all followed up from 6 to 15 months. According to the criterion of PANG Gui-gen, the results were excellent in 20 cases, good in 7 cases, fair in 1 case and no bad in plate group; the results were excellent in 23 cases, good in 10 cases, fair in 21 case and no bad in tension band group. The therapeutic effect of two groups has no significantly statistic difference.

CONCLUSIONBoth olecranon plate and tension band are the effective treatments for olecranon fracture. The selection of two methods should depend on to the state of fracture.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the usefulness of new microspincolumn method for the measurement of a1pha-fetoprotein variant AFP-L3 in differentiation of benign and malignant liver disease and the warming for liver cancer.

METHODSAFP-L3 was isolated by using microspincolumn coupled with lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA), AFP and AFP-L3 were determined with chemiluminescent immunoassay, the proportion of AFP-L3 levels AFP-L3(%) were calculated, and the relationship between the elevated AFP-L3(%) levels and benign and malignant liver disease was analyzed.

RESULTSThe levels of AFP-L3(%) in serum of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma was significantly higher than those in the patients with other liver diseases (P < 0.001). Taking AFP-L3(%) >or= 10% as the diagnostic criteria, the sensitivity for diagnosis of liver cancer was 90.9%.

CONCLUSIONDetection of AFP-L3 seemed to be of clinical value in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma; it may be especially important for identifying patients with hepatocellular carcinoma whose a1pha-fetoprotein level is low.
