Objective To establish a stable implanted model of VX2 rabbit brain tumor, and to evaluate the pathological and imaging features and tumor angiogenesis. Methods Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were implanted with 100 ?l viable VX2 tumor cells (107/ml) through a hole 5 mm to the right of the sagittal suture and 5 mm posterior to the coronal suture bored by a dental drill. MRI was performed every ~2 days after 7 days of implantation to evaluate the growth of the tumor, and perfusion CT studies were performed in different days of tumor growth. After that the animals were sacrificed on days 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30 of tumor implantation. 2% Evans blue (2 ml/kg) was given intravenously in 16 of these animals ~1 hour prior to sacrifice to detect the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The specimens of the rabbit brains were examined pathologically and histologically. VEGF and MVD were evaluated in immunohistochemical examination. Results Of the 22 animals included into the study, the tumor grew in 20 animals, which could be seen clearly on MR imaging. Pathologic examination showed characteristics of squamous carcinoma. VEGF was expressed in all tumors with the mean rate of positive cells of (52.51?19.15)% (19.5%-92.9%). Mean MVD was (51.30?14.42)pice piece/microscope (25-81 pice piece/microscope). Using Pearson′s linear correlation analysis, positive correlation was found between tumor growth time and volume (r=0.791, P=0.000), between MVD and tumor growth time (r=0.875, P=0.000), and between MVD and tumor volume (r=0.901, P=0.000), respectively. Spearman′s rank correlation analysis showed positive correlation between VEGF grade and blue stain of the tumor (r_s=0.594, P=0.015). Conclusion A stable model of VX2 rabbit brain tumor has been established with the method of skull drilling. The method was simple and easy to use, with a high tumor growth rate and remarkable angiogenesis. The model is helpful for the pathological and radiological study of tumor angiogenesis.

Objective:To observe the effect of metformin on the expression of SIRT1 and UCP2 in rat liver of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and discuss the pathogenesis of T2DM with NAFLD, and the treatment with and possible mechanism of metformin.Methods:Thirty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group (group NC, n=12), a T2DM with NAFLD group (group MC, n=12), and a metformin group (group A, n=12). We established the model of T2DM with NAFLD rats by feeding high-fat and high-sugar diet and injecting STZ. After the success establishment of the model, the metformin group was given metformin 300 mg/(kg.d) for 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, we measured FBG, ALT, AST, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL, FFAs, FINs and HOMA-IR respectively in group NC, MC and A. We observed the change of liver tissue pathology by HE, determined the expression of SIRT1 and UCP2 in rat liver by immunohistochemical method and real-time quantitative method. Results:FBG, ALT, AST, TC, TG, LDL-C, VLDL, FFAs, FINs and HOMA-IR were higher in group MC than in group NC (P<0.05), while HDL-C was obviously lower in group MC than in group NC (P<0.05). After the metformin treatment, the serum parameters in the rats had improved in group NC compared with in group MC (P<0.05). On immunohistochemical staining and mRNA level, the expression of SIRT1 was obviously lower in group MC than in group NC (P<0.05), and the expression of UCP2 was obviously higher in group MC than in group NC (P<0.05). After the metformin treatment, the expression of SIRT1 was higher than in group MC (P<0.05), and the expression of UCP2 was lower than in group MC (P<0.05). There was negative correlation between the expression of SIRT1 and UCP2 (r=-0.61, P<0.01).
Conclusion:The expression of SIRT1 is low and the expression of UCP2 is high in rat liver of T2DM with NAFLD. Metformin can increase the expression of SIRT1 and reduce the expression of UCP2, with negative correlation between the expression of SIRT1 and UCP2.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a kind of acquired autoimmune disease with complex and diverse mechanism.However,at the moment,the pathogenesis is still not very clear.It is confirmed that the pathogenesis of ITP is mainly related to humoral immunity and cellular immunity.It is generally believed that genes and environmental factors are of great significance to the development and progress of ITP.In the genetic background of susceptible genes,the development of ITP is due to environmental factors induced by autoimmune response.More genes are found:protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor 22 (PTPN22) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms,micro RNA (Micro RNA),human leukocyte antigen-HLA -DRB1 gene polymorphism,DNA methylation,vanin-1 gene.This article reviews the genes involved in the pathogenesis of ITP.
