BACKGROUND: Various factors contribute to the establishment of liver transplantation models in rhesus monkey, the rate of successful operation and long-term survival are very low. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the cause of early death following liver transplantation in rhesus monkey. METHODS: Liver transplantation models were fabricated with the classical and modified methods in rhesus monkeys. Operation of donor was performed quickly by a big crucial incision of abdomen. The improved double-cuff of the portal vein and inferior vena cava were finished, in addition to stay pipe of biliary tract in the process of repairing donor liver. Operation of the receptor was performed by classical orthotopic liver transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 25 pairs of rhesus monkeys were successfully for establishing liver transplantation models. Seven rhesus monkeys died within early stage of post-operation, including six out of nine monkeys died by using the classical approach and one out of sixteen monkeys died by using the improved approach. There were five of seven monkeys died of intra-abdominal hemorrhage, one died of primary graft nonfunction and one died of respiratory failure. Results indicated that, the major death cause after classical orthotopic liver transplantation in rhesus monkey is abdominal hemorrhage. The improved methods of liver transplantation apparently reduce the hemorrhage and raise early survival rate following liver transplantation.

Objective To gain experimental data about breeding Musca domestica larvae by pig manure and to evaluate the effects and cost-benefit of feeding hens with larvae instead of fish powder. Methods The concentration of fatty acids and trace elements in the larvae bred with man-made fodder or pig manure were measured. The quality of eggs produced by hens fed with the larva powder or fresh larvae was investigated. Results The contents of trace elements (Ca,Fe,Cu,Zn,Se) of the larvae bred with pig manure were higher than those with man-made fodder(P0.05). Conclusion Breeding Musca domestica larvae with pig manure could produce good larva protein and reduce the expenses. The quality of the egg produced by the hens fed with larvae is as good as the quality of common eggs.

Objective To study effects of Rupixiao granules on contraction of uterus of mice in vitro. Methods Mouse model with isolated uterine contraction was established. The mice pretreated with estradiol benzoate were sacrificed and then the uteri were taken out. The normal contractions were recorded by the biological function system. Effects of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 mg.mL-1 Rupixiao granules on spontaneous and oxytocin-induced (5 U.L-1) uterine contractions were recorded,inhibition of Rupixiao granules on mean constriction amplitude,constriction frequency and contraction activity of pitocin-pretreated uterus was observed and the inhibition rates were calculated. Results Compared with the baselines, the amplitude, frequency, activity of spontaneous uterine contraction were significantly down-regulated by Rupixiao solution at a range of 10-60 mg.mL-1 ,as well as it could inhibit oxytocin-induced spasmodic contraction of isolated uterus at 10-50 mg . mL-1 ( P<0. 01 ) . Conclusion The Rupixiao granules inhibits spontaneous contraction of isolated mouse uteri and oxytocin-induced spasm of uterine smooth muscle in vitro.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Looking for the early diagnosis of acute rejection indicators after liver transplantation can assess the risk after liver transplantation quickly and effectively, and T lymphocytes play the significant role in acute rejection. OBJECTIVE:To observe the relationship between acute rejection and variation of expression of T cel subset in blood after liver transplantation in rhesus monkey. METHODS: The sixteen liver transplant models in rhesus monkey which were constructed successfuly by the method of “double-cuff and one support tube” were divided into two groups randomly: experiment group (no treated by immunosuppressant in perioperative period) and control group (treated by immunosuppressant in perioperative period). Then the blood specimen and liver tissue respectively were colected at 6, 12, 24 and 72 hours after operation. The levels of alanine transferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bilirubin were detected with the fuly automatic biochemical analyser. The levels of CD4+/CD8+were tested by flow cytometry. The liver tissue in rhesus monkey after liver transplantation was detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The degree of acute rejection was evaluated by Banff Score System. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Acute rejection appeared in the experiment group at 12, 24, and 72 hours after liver transplantation. Levels of alanine transferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bilirubin were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group at 24 and 72 hours after transplantation (P < 0.05). The expression of CD4+/CD8+of the experiment group and control group began to rise at 6 hours after surgery, but the experiment group increased the most obvious. CD4+/CD8+ expression was significantly greater in the experimental group than in the control group at 24 and 72 hours after transplantation (P < 0.05). Morphological pathology was severer, and Banff score was higher in the experiment group than in the control group at 72 hours (P < 0.05). These data suggested that the variation of expression of CD4+/CD8+was earlier than the change of liver tissue pathology and the change of liver function in the early acute rejection after liver transplantation. The rise of level of CD4+/CD8+ after liver transplantation indicated the increase of celular immunity in body, which had an important role in the early diagnosis of acute rejection after liver transplantation.
