Objective To study the relationship of expression of central cortex glucocorticoid receptor (GR) at protein level with GR expression in the liver at protein level and with changes of serum cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) following severe closed traumatic brain injury (TBI) in mice. Methods Severe TBI was established in awake mice by using a BIM-Ⅲ biomechanical machine. At 0.5, 2, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after TBI, the total cytosolic GR in the cortex and liver were detected with Western blotting. Levels of serum ACTH and cortisol were measured by ELISA technique and radio-immunological assay (RIA) respectively. Results The expression of GR both in the cortex and liver were obviously down-regulated at protein levels at 2-72 hours after TBI and increased slowly eight hours after injury. The GR in the liver showed no recovery at 72 hours after injury and that in the cortex was decreased continually at 24 hours after injury. Serum ACTH and cortisol levels were increased markedly compared with control group, when there were two different peaks in the observation curve.Conclusion There is glucocorticoid resistance both in the central and peripheral tissues after severe closed TBI in the awake mice, which changes in a time-dependent manner.

To study time and dose related changes after gamma knife radiosurgery (GKR) in rat brain, right caudate nucleuses of rats were irradiated by OUR XGD gamma units. The maximum dosages of 20,50,75 and 160Gy were given using a 4 mm collimator. HE, Nissl, Luxol fast blue staining and immunohistochemistry were utilized to observe histological changes.Histological changes in the right caudate nucleuses such as microvessel injury, which appeared as telangiectasia, vasodilatation, vessel wall thickening and edema, and astrocyte changes, which appeared as hypertrophy and proliferation, were observed at various time points after GKR. These findings demonstrate time dependent and dosage dependent changes are found in normal cerebral tissue after GKR. These results provide an explanation of the process taking place during the latent period before delayed radiation necrosis develops.

Objective To construct short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) eukaryotic express vectors targeting of insulin like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) gene, and to explore the changes of adhesion, invasion and FAK protein expression of MHCC-97 H hepatocellular carcinoma cells with RNA interference. Methods The shRNA oligonucleotide fragments were designed and synthesized based on the sequence of IGF1R mRNA. Double strands were formed after annealing and inserted into pGCsi-U6-Neo-GFP vector. The recombinant was transformed into Stable 3, then plasmids were extracted and identified by restriction enzyme and sequencing analysis. The most effective vectors were selected by RT-PCR and Western blotting after transfecting 293T cells. The best one was used to transform MHCC-97H cells which were selected with G418 to obtain positive colons. The changes of adhesion, invasion and FAK protein expression in MHCC-97H cells were studied. Results The restriction enzyme analysis and sequencing analysis demonstrated that shRNA had been inserted into vectors, and their sequences were the same as the design. It was indicated by RT-PCR and Western blotting that the silencing efficacy of IGF1R was 88%. The ability of adhesion and invasion significantly decreased after IGF1R silencing in MHCC-97H cells, and so was the expression of FAK protein. Conclusion IGF1R pGCsi-U6-Neo-GFP shRNA can significantly decrease the abilities of adhesion and invasion in MHCC-97H cells, and inhibit the expression of FAK protein.

Objective To investigate the accuracy of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in diagnosing acute severe panereatitis.Methods Thirty three patients with acute severe pancreatitis were enrolled in the study and all of them underwent CEUS and spiral computed tomography(CT) scan.CT was taken as gold standard in acute severe pancreatitis diagnosis.CEUS were done within 72 hours after CT scan.Results Compared with CT, the sensitivity, specificity,accuracy, positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of CEUS for detecting the necrosis of pancreas were 90%, 95%, 94%, 90% and 95%respectively.The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value,and negative predictive value of CEUS in diagnosing severe acute pancreatitis were 85%, 92%, 88%, 94% and 80% respectively, while 37% ,86% ,58%, 78%, 50% for conventional ultrasound respectively.Conclusions CEUS is accurate in detection of pancreatic necrosis and diagnosis of acute severe pancreatitis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of holmium laser lithotripsy for ureteral stones. Methods A total of 238 patients with ureteral stones (upper segment, 60 patients; middle segment, 93; lower segment, 85) received the holmium laser lithotripsy under a semi-rigid ureteropyeloscope. Results Stones were successfully fragmented on one session in 97.1% of patients (231/238). The success rate was 91.7% in patients with stones in the upper ureteral segment (55/60) and 98.9% in patients with stones in the!mid-lower ureteral segment (176/178). Five patients with bilateral ureteral stones associated with acute renal failure and anuria returned to normal rapidly. No complications such as perforation or severe trauma were encountered during the operation. The postoperative hospital stay of the 231 patients was 1~2 days (mean, 1.3 days). Follow-up for 0.5~12 months (mean, 4.1 months) revealed a stone-free rate of 98.7% (228/231). No stricture of the ureter was found. Conclusions Holmium: YAG laser lithotripsy is effective, mini-invasive and safe. It is indicated as the first choice in the treatment of ureteral stones, especially stones located in the mid-lower ureteral segment.

Objective To observe the effect of cures of keloids by operation and closely following X-ray therapy. Methods X-ray therapy was taken in no more than 24 hours after the keloids removing operations on 63 subjects, partly irradiating incision with 100~140kv X-ray,which was continued in the next three days,once for each day,till the total amount reached DT 1600~2000cGY. Results All postoperative incision healed in one-stage,all cases were followed up for 6~12 months, the new hyperplastic scar didn' t appeare on the incision of 57 subjects, while this happened on those of the other six with some improvement after operation than before operation. Rate of healing reached 90. 5% .Conclusion Cure of keloid by operation and closely following X-ray therapy can reach low recurrence and aesthetic effection,and it is worth popularizing in the clinic.
