OBJECTIVETo observe the expressions of Calbindin(CB) and Parvalbumin (PV), the two calcium-binding protein, in auditory pathway in mice of wild type C57BL/6J and kit⁺/kitW⁻ ²Bao, a kit gene mutant.
METHODSSix mutated kit gene kit⁺/kitW⁻ ²Bao mice and 6 wild type C57BL/6J (B6) mice were anaesthetized i. p. with chloral hydrate. After the mice were fixed by heart perfusion, the brains were removed and coronal sections were cut with a freezing microtome.
RESULTSWe found that wild type mice had significant expressions of PV on ventral cochlear nucleus, anterior part (AVCN), ventral cochlear nucleus, posterior part (PVCN), inferior colliculus (IC) and auditory cortex (AC). CB was expressed in wild type mice on PVCN and nucleus of the trapezoid body (Tz). The mutant of kit gene induced the less expression of PV on PVCN, IC and AC (P < 0.01), but increased the expression of Tz (P < 0.01). CB could not be observed on PVCN in mutant mice, and the expression of AC was increased( P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONCB and PV has differential expression level in auditory pathway. Since mutated kit gene can affect expression of PV on PVCN, IC, Tz and AC, as well as CB on PVCN and AC, it suggests that the mutation of kit gene can affect the advanced function of central nervous system in auditory pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of total nutrient admixture (TNA) on the recovery of patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy.Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College between March 2013 and March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Among 50 patients receiving radical gastrectomy,26 patients receiving TNA were allocated to the experimental group and 24 patients receiving conventional fluid infusion were allocated to the control group.Patients in the experimental group received the nutritional support therapy using TNA at preoperative day 5 and at postoperative days 1-5,and patients in the control group received the postoperative intravenous rehydration including water,glucose,electrolyte,vitamins and micro elements.The nutritional indexes [albumin (Alb),prealbumin,transferrin and hemoglobin (Hb)],time to anal exsufflation,incidence of complications (wound infection,anastomotic leakage,blooding and intestinal obstruction) and duration of hospital stay were observed before nutritional support therapy and at postoperative day 8.The count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.The chi-square value of correction for continuity was used when 1 ≤ minimum theoretical frequency ≤ 5.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as (x) ±s and analyzed using the t test or repeated measures ANOVA.The ordinal data were analyzed by the analysis of variance.Results The Alb,prealbumin,transferrin and Hb in the experimental group were (38.6 ± 2.0) g/L,(281 ± 33) mg/L,(2.5 ± 0.9) g/L and (111 ± 20) g/L before nutritional support therapy and (38.2 ± 1.9) g/L,(277 ± 16) mg/L,(2.3 ± 1.1) g/L and (112 ± 37) g/L at postoperative day 8,respectivley.The Alb,prealbumin,transferrin and Hb in the control group were (38.3 ±2.4) g/L,(287 ± 34) mg/L,(2.4 ± 1.1) g/L and (107 ± 21) g/L before nutritional support therapy and (30.3 ±2.3) g/L,(190 ± 41) mg/L,(1.6 ± 0.3) g/L and (93 ± 22) g/L at postoperative day 8,respectivley.There were significant differences in the nutritional indexes at postoperative day 8 between the 2 groups (F =174.042,95.637,9.529,4.919,P < 0.05).The time to anal exsufflation in the experimental group were (52 ± 11) hours,which was significantly different from (70 ± 12) hours in the control group (t =-5.176,P < 0.05).The incidence of complications was 15.4% (4/26) in the experimental group,which was significantly different from 58.3% (14/24) in the control group (x2=6.460,P <0.05).Patients with complications in the 2 groups were cured by anti-infective or symptomatic treatment.The duration of hospital stay was (9 ± 3) days in the experimental group and (12 ± 4) days in the control group,with a significant difference between the 2 groups (t =-2.912,P < 0.05).Conclusion TNA can improve the nutritional status of patients after radical gastrectomy in a short time.It could help patients to get through the perioperative period smoothly,and enhance the postoperative recovery.

Aerenchyrna formation has been described in depth in a number of species at a histological level. But large gaps remain in our understanding of its regulation as a developmental process. It is attempted to analyse essential mineral elements like K, Mg, Cu, Zn, Ca and P in the cell wall of aerenchyma cells in petioles ofS. trifolia at five different developmental stages by CSEM-EDX technique. At early stage, K and Cl concentrations in cell wall were high up to 36% and 4.3% of dry weight, respectively. It supported the hypotheses that aerenchyma spaces are filled with liquid at early developmental stages of aerenchyma in S. trifolia petiole. Mg concentration was high at stage 2, up to 0.86% of dry weight. Zinc and Cu were detected only at rapid expansion stages, during which the concentrations were up to 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively. Calcium was detected in the cell wall only at mature stages, the concentration was high up to 1.3% of dry weight at stages 4 and 5. These results confirmed that the element concentration of aerenehyma cell wall undergoes dynamic changes during different developmental stages, and a low Ca with high Zn and Cu concentration are needed for cell expansion. Copper and Zn deposition in the cell wall showed a significant positive linear correlation, suggesting that these two elements share same or similar uptake and transport mechanism in plants.

Objective To investigate the effects of total anthraquinone in rheum on aquaporin 2 and aquaporin 4 expression in rat kidney and explore its diuresis mechanism.Methods Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into control group,low dose group,medium dose group and high dose group.Total anthraquinone in rheum was administered to rats at different doses.Urinary volume of 24 h,Na+ concentration and osmolality were detected.Rats were sacrificed 5 days later.Blood samples were taken from the abdominal aorta to detect blood biochemical indicators. Kidneys of rats were removed to detect AQP2, AQP4 expression through immunohistochemistry,Western blot,and RT-PCR. Results Compared with control group,there were significantly increased 24 h urine output of rats in medium and high dose group[(16.21±1.96),(18.16±1.8) ml vs(13.85±1.25)ml,P<0.05].24 h urine output in low-dose group did not change significantly.AQP2 protein and mRNA expression were significantly decreased in rats'kidneys of medium and high dose group (P<0.01),The AQP4 protein and mRNA expression was significantly down-regulated in high dose group (P<0.01).In medium does group,the AQP4 protein expression was down-regulated (P<0.01),without significant decrease in the mRNA expression.Protein and mRNA expression of AQP2 and AQP4 did not significantly change in low dose group.Conclusion Total anthraquinone in rheum can reduce the expression level of AQP2 and AQP4 in rat kidney,which is probably one mechanism of diuresis caused by rheum.

In this paper, the content of moisture, ethanol-soluble extractives, total saponins and polysaccharide of different tuber samples of Hemsleya zhejiangensis, from different localities, years and seasons, were detected based upon Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010 version. The samples of roots, stems and leaves in summer were detected as well. The results are mainly as follows. (1)With tuber quality increasing, the content of total saponins increased and then decreased. The individual quality of tubers getting 594.06 g, the content of total saponins reached the peak. (2) The content of active ingredients in different localities was significantly different, and the population of Wuyanling had the maximum content of total saponins and polysaccharide. (3) The content of active ingredients revealed stability between the years 2012 and 2013, but the content of polysaccharide was significantly different. The content in 2012 was higher than that of 2013. (4) The content of active ingredients reached the peak in autumn, which was the best harvest season. (5) Among different component content detection of nutritional organs, tubers had the maximum content of ethanol-soluble extractives, total saponins and polysaccharide. Leaves also contained higher content of ethanol-soluble extractives and total saponins than roots and stems. All of these provide theoretical basis for plant, harvest and production of H. zhejiangensis, which is an endemic, rare, and endangered medicinal plants.
