1.A preliminary study of leucine-enkephalin and its effect in the uterus
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(02):-
By means of radioimmunoassay, leucine-enkephalin (L-ENK) in the uteri of women and rats was studied and its responses to ovarian steroids were observed. The histological localization of L-ENK and the influence of naloxone (NAL) on estrogen regulation of the rat uterus in terms of cAMP and eGMP determination were also studied. Results of the study demonstrated that presence of L-ENK like substance in the uteri of women and rats, and the concentrations varied in the various phases of the sexual cycle. indicating a positive correlation with levels of estrogen in the body. L-ENK was found localized in the interstetial cells of the human endometrium, and in the rat uterus. Effect of extrogen on nucleotide was influenced by NAL. The findings suggested that L-ENK may play an important role on physiologic function of utetus.

Objective To observe the curative effect of 32 P-colloid on craniopharyngioma .Meth-ods Eighteen patients with craniopharyngioma ( from January 2001 to February 2006 ) were treated with in-jecting certain dose of 32 P-colloid, via the technique of three -dimensional orientation conducted by CT to indicate the location of the tumor , and draw out the cystic liquid by centesis .Results The cysts continual-ly shrank in 8 patients(about 44.4%) and vanished thoroughly in 7 patients(about 38.8%).The total ef-fective rate was 83.3% without surgical death or serious complication occurred .Conclusion The 32 P-colloid combining with the technique of three -dimensional orientation conducted by CT is a promising method to treat craniopharyngioma without obvious side -effects.

Objective To compare the size of ablation lesions created by normal saline enhanced radiofrequency ablation (NS-RFA) and dilute hydrochloric acid enhanced radiofrequency ablation (HCl-RFA), explore their affecting factors, and observe the morphological manifestations of the ablated lesions.Methods NS-RFA and HCl-RFA were performed on 30 excised porcine livers with 9 different combinations of durations (5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes), temperatures (83, 93, 103, and 113 ℃ ) and powers (20, 30,and 40W). For each ablated lesion, the longitudinal and transverse diameters were measured, and volumes calculated. Multifactor analysis of variance was used to analyze the affecting factors of the size of ablated lesions. Macroscopic and microscopic morphological characteristics of lesions were observed. Results ( 1 )NS-RFA lesion volumes under 9 combinations were ( 3.53 ± 0. 34 ), (6. 41 ± 0. 42 ), ( 10. 69 ± 0. 37 ),(11.40±0.51), (3.20±0.23), (6.59 ±0.50), (12.11 ±0.70), (11.12 ±0.52), (11.81 ±0. 64) cm3, respectively. HCl-RFA lesion volumes under 9 combinations were ( 11.97 ± 1. 00), (28.72 ±0.99), (59.45 ±1.33), (105.65 ±2.40), (13.64±0.60), (29.70±0.58), (59.22±1.32),( 57. 22 ± 3.99 ), ( 59. 74 ± 2. 18 )cm3, respectively. The size differences of ablation zones caused by different types of ablation ( F = 948.9 ) ( main factor), durations ( F = 269. 3 ) and temperatures ( F =214. 6) (covariates) were statistically significant (P < 0. 01 ), whereas which caused by power ( F = 0. 2 )(covariate) was not statistically significant (P > 0. 05 ). (2)At gross examination, all ablation lesions were elliptical in cross section and there were three zones in NS-RFA induced lesions and five zones in HCl-RFA induced lesions. At microscopic examination of NS-RFA induced lesions, a small amount of liver cell debris were found at the edge of zone Ⅰ , a few of deformed and ruptured liver cells in zone Ⅱ. The shape of the most of the liver cells in zone Ⅲ was normal. At microscopic examination of HCl-RFA induced lesions, a small amount of liver cell debris were found at the edge of zone Ⅰ , classical coagulation necrosis in zone Ⅱ and Ⅲ, widened hepatic sinusoids lossened junction of hepatocytes and some hepatocytes detached into sinusoids in zones Ⅳ. The liver cells in zone V were normalexcept a small amount of hepatoeytes with pyknosis, karyorrhexis and karyolysis. Condusion Compared with NS-RFA, HCl-RFA can produce lager ablation zones. The duration and temperature were the factors that affected the size of ablation zone. HCl-RFA lesions typically showed coagulation necrosis at microscopical examination.
