Objective To explore the effect of HgCl2 exposure on energy metabolism of renal mitochondria in rats and the preventive effect of N-acetylcysteine(NAC).Methods Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group,HgCl2 group and NAC+HgCl2 group by body weight,8 in each.Control group and HgCl2 group were treated with physiological saline through intraperitoneal injection,NAC+HgCl2 group rats were intraperitoneally pretreated with NAC(0.4 mmol/kg),two hours after treatment,HgCl2 group and NAC+HgCl2 group were injected subcutaneously with HgCl2(1.84 ?mol/kg),but control group was injected with physiological saline,the volume of was 5 ml/kg,once a day for 14 consecutive days.Twenty-four hours after the last injection,all rats were sacrificed and the cortices of rat kidneys were collected.The mitochondria were prepared by using the differential centrifugation.The levels of malondialdehyde(MDA),the activities of phospholipase A2(PLA2) and succinate dehydrogenase(SDH),the mitochondrial membrane potential were measured.Results Compared with control group,the level of MDA and the activity of PLA2 significantly increased in HgCl2 group(P
6.RISK FACTORS OF IMPAIRED CARDIAC DIASTOLIC FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH ABNORMALITIES OF GLUCOSE METABOLISM
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 2001;0(07):-
To investigate the clinical risk factors of cardiac diastolic dysfunction in type 2 DM, Doppler echocardiographic examinations were performed on 63 male patients.With a routine 2 dimensional echocardiograph, mitral and pulmonary venous flow velocity were recorded. The patients were classified into DM, IGT and NGT based on well standardized criteria of WHO. All analyses were performed by the SPSS/PC or Windows Release 9.0 Statistical Package. The risk factors of impairment of diastolic function were analyzed by regression. Results showed that the levels of blood glucose and insulin were independent risk factors for diabetic cardiac diastolic dysfunction.

Objective To discuss the feasibility,indications,surgical techniques,and outcome con- cerning the application of less invasive stabilization system (LISS) for complex proximal femoral fractures.Methods We treated 12 complex proximal femoral fractures using femoral LISS reversely from June 2005 to May 2006. They were five complex intertrochanteric fractures and seven subtrochanteric ones.By AO classification,two were type 31-A2.2,two type 31-A2.3,one type 31-A3.3,one type 32-A3.1,three type 32-B1.1,one type 32-B2.1, and two type 32-B3.I.The patients were treated with closed or indirect reduction and fixation with percutaneous LISS plate reversely.Results There were no major postoperative complications in this study.The mean operation time was 65 minutes (range,50 to 90 minutes),the mean intra-operative blood loss was 142 milliliters (range,50 to 400 milliliters),and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 9.3 days (range,6 to 15 days).All patients had a clinical follow-up;the mean follow-up time was 7.2 months (range,3 to 14 months).Ten cases healed clinically three months postoperatively,one periprosthetic fracture healed four months and one pathological fracture healed six months after operation.At the final radiographic follow-up,no collapse,varus deformity,cutting-out,hardware failure,or avascular necrosis was found.Conclusions Femoral LISS used reversely can provide secure fixation for proximal femoral fractures biomechanically and anatomically.It is also easy and safe.It is particularly suitable for old patients with intertrochanteric fractures complicated with disorders of internal organs and severe osteoporosis or patients with complex proximal femoral fractures.It is important to be skillful in indirect reduction and positioning of guide wire into hole A,and to avoid immediate weight-bearing postoperatively.

Chinese Journal of Bases and Clinics in General Surgery 2001;8(3):159-161,163
Objective To study the effects of glucose and lipid metabolism on gallstone formation. Methods Twenty five patients with gallstones and 25 normal volunteer controls were studied from January to April in 1998. The patients were well matched the control with sex and age (1∶1). In the study, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist-to-Hip circumference ratio (W/H) were measured. Blood glucose, glucosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), insulin, C peptide and all parameters of lipids were detected at fasting state. The glucose,insulin, C peptide were detected again at 2-hour after taking 75g glucose orally. Results The result showed there was no difference on BMI and W/H between the patients and controls. HbA1C、mean fasting and 2-hour glucose concentration were not in significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05, P>0.2, P>0.1 respectively). There were 10 patients with abnormal glucose metabolism (7 with NIDDM, 3 with IGT), but only 4 controls were abnoumal (one with NIDDM, three with IGT). The difference was significant (P<0.05). Furthermore, the mean fasting and 2-hour insulin concentration of gallstone group was higher than that of the control (P<0.02, P<0.05). And the gallstone group had a higher fasting C peptide concentration than control (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference on the parameters of plasma lipid between the tow groups. Conclusion The study suggests that diabetes mellious and hyperinsulinemia acted as an important role on gallstone formation.

Objective To analyze differentially expressed genes between hilar and distal cholangiocarcinoma and to clarify the molecular mechanism of tumorigenesis. Methods Gene-expression profiles of 3 samples of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and 4 samples of distal cholangiocarcinoma were analyzed using oligo microarray containing 21 329 genes. The differentially expressed genes between the two groups were analyzed using the Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) in order to get the specifically differentially expressed genes. The gene expression presence was verified by real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Results A total of 725 genes of cholangiocarcinoma was regulated significantly compared to normal bile duct. Of them, 244 genes were upregulated and 399 genes were downregualted in both groups; on the other hand, 82 gene expressions between hilar and distal cholangiocarcinoma had significant differences (ratio ≥ 2.0 or ≤ 0.5). The SAM analysis showed that 40 genes, including AREG, EPHA2, SPP1, PACE4, and so on, were identified as differentially regulated between the two groups (q=0). Conclusions These data are helpful for a better understanding of the tumorigenesis of cholangiocarcinoma and contribute to the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The gene expressions between hilar and distal cholangiocarcinoma are significantly different, which suggests that the two tumors have different molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis.
