Objective To study the cell apoptosis and the dynamic expression and significance of apoptosis-related genes in graft veins. Methods A rat experimental model of autogenous graft vein was established by transplanting the right external jugular vein to infrarenal abdominal aorta in 100 Wistar rats. TUNEL and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the apoptosis, the expression of apoptosis related genes bcl 2 and bax in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of graft veins. Results Within the 8 weeks after transplantation, the apoptotic VSMCs in the graft veins were much more than those in the control group with the apoptotic rate reaching the peak〔(28.5?16.6)%〕 on the 2nd week and dropping to (8.1?2.8)% during the 4th to 8th week. There was statistical difference compared to the control group 〔(0.5?0.2)%, P

Objective It is difficult to differentiate tumors in upper GI muscularis proporia, such as GI stromal tumors (GISTs) , leiomyomas and schwannomas. We performed EUS guided fine needle aspirations (FNA) and immunohistochemical evaluation of these tumors in upper GI muscularis proporia. Methods We selected 35 Patients with lesions in upper GI muscularis proporia by EGD and EUS. We assessed the shape , size, and position of the lesions and the status of metastasis. After excluding blood vessel between the lesions and the fine needle, EUS FNA were carried out and immunohistochemical staining for CD-117 (c-kit) , CD34 and smooth muscle actin ( SMA) was performed. Results All patients were performed EUS FNA and enough specimens were obtained in 31 patients. The other 4 failed, although we tried it for several times. Among the 31 patients, Cytology and immunohistochemisty demonstrated 21 GISTs and 10 leiomyomas. All the results were evaluated by surgery. The sensitivity is 88. 6% , and the speciality is 100%. No complication occurred. Conclusion EUS-guided FNA and immunohistochemical evaluation is an accurate method for diferential diagnosis of tumors in upper GI muscularis propria.

This paper discusses the problems of optimizing teaching of medical microbiol-ogy on the aspects of optimizing teaching matters and teaching means,of integrating teaching with learning,and training teachers,etc. to improve the teaching quality in microbiology through some innovational measures.

Objective To explore if the occupational exposure to low dose thorium could induce adaptive response in peripheral lymphocytes.Methods 40 individuals.who exposed to thorium and rare earth mixed dust(exposure group) or control in Baotou Steel Plant, were selected, and chromosome aberrations were analyzed.Then the peripheral blood samples were irradiated in vitro with 2 Gy60Co γ-rays,and unstable chromosome aberration or DNA stand breakage analysis using single cell gel electrophoresis was performed. Results The dicentrics before 2 Gy exposure in exposure group was higher than that in control(P>0.05). But the dicentries after 2 Gy exposure in exposure group was lower than that in control,but not significantly (P>0.05).The tricentrics in exposure group was significantly lower than that in control(U=3.1622, 0.0ol

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of 3D-enhanced T2 ? weighted angiography (ESWAN )in evaluating superficial siderosis of the central nervous system (SS-CNS)after traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (tSAH).Methods ESWAN and GRE T2 ? WI sequence were performed on 30 patients with tSAH,detection rate and the number of distribution areas of SS-CNS were compared between the two sequences.A McNemar’s test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to analyze the differences between T2 ? WI and ESWAN images sequences. Results In the tSAH group,29 of 30 patients (96.7%)showed SS-CNS on ESWAN images,the total number of SS-CNS regions was 134.Identified SS-CNS positive rate respectively was 95.8% (23/24)on ESWAN images and 66.7% (1 6/24)on T2 ? WI in 24 patients simultaneously perform ESWAN and T2 ? WI sequences.A McNemar ’s test showed that there was significant difference between the positive rates of two sequences in detecting the SS-CNS (χ2 =7.0,P <0.05).The number of SS-CNS regions on ESWAN images and T2 ? WI was 106 and 34 respectively.The Wilcoxon signed rank test showed that the number of SS-CNS regions difference between two sequences was significant (Z =-4.225,P <0.01).Conclusion Various degress of SS-CNS are detected in a majority of tSAH atients.ESWAN sequence is a reliable and efficient method for assessment of SS-CNS.

【Objective】 To study the annual financial expenditure in blood stations with different scales, and to establish the regression equation between blood collection units and total expenditure. 【Methods】 The annual total expenditure, the per capita cost of serving population, as well as the collection units of whole blood and apheresis platelet of 24 blood stations were collected. The financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood was calculated.The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS statistical software. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, the total annual financial expenditure of 24 blood stations showed an upward trend. The total expenditure among blood stations was different. The per capita cost of servicing population in the areas where the 24 blood stations were located had been increasing year by year. The 24 blood stations were divided into two grades according to the blood collection volume as 50 000 U, and the relationship equation between the blood collection volume and the annual total expenditure had been established. After testing, each equation was effective(P<0.05); There was no difference in the financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood among blood stations with different scales. 【Conclusion】 From 2017 to 2020, the blood stations with an annual collection volume more than 50 000 U demonstrated a higher financial expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population than those <50 000 U. The blood collection volume of blood stations is significantly correlated with the annual total expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population.
