Objective To search for the mechanism of NO and TNOS/iNOS in cerebral vascular stenosis,the changes of these serum factors in different kinds of cerebral vascular stenosis were studied. Methods Biochemistry assays were adopted,to analyze serum NO and TNOS/iNOS in different vascular stenosis group. Results Serum NO contents of ' Mix' (P=0.000) or ' MCA' (P=0.001) significantly increased. INOS activity of ' In' (P=0.004) and ' MCA' (P=0.002) markedly increased. And TNOS activity of ' In' group significantly weakened (P=0.032),but the TNOS activity of ' Mix' (P=0.011) and ' MCA' (P=0.018) group markedly intensified. Conclusion NO and TNOS/ iNOS partly participate in the occurrence mechanism of cerebral vascular stenosis. And the study provided theory basis for studying multiple factors of cerebral vascular stenosis.

Objective To investigate the role of hyperoxaluria and unilateral complete ureteral obstruction in the development of renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. Methods Forty male Wistar rats were divided into four groups randomly,with ten rats in each.The groups were named A(control),B(hyperoxaluric),C(obstructive) and D(hyperoxaluric+obstructive).The rats were sacrificed 2 weeks after operation;left nephrectomy was then performed.The tissue sections obtained from kidneys were examined under light microscopy for the presence and the degree of crystal deposition in the tubular lumen.Apoptotic changes in renal tubular cells were examined using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(TdT)-mediated dUTP in situ nick and labeling (TUNEL) method. Results Oxalate crystal deposition was evident in the renal tubular lumen in groups B and D,while there was no evidence in groups A and C.With respect to apoptotic changes,the mean values of the apoptotic cell count were 1.1?1.1 in A and 31.3?8.0 in B.The values for C and D were 145.0?33.4 and 275.8?51,respectively.There was statistically significant difference between all goups ( P

Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factor of metabolic syndrome(MS)in rural elderly population. Methods With randomized cluster sampling,investigations including questionnaires,physical examination,fasting plasma glucose,blood lipids were performed in rural population aged over 60 years in Changzhou city in 2004-2005. Results A total of 4976 elderly people were enrolled in the study.The prevalence of MS was 24.1%,and 10.3%in men,34.3%in women by international diabetes federation(IDF)2005 definition.86.2%individuals had one or more of the metabolic disorders.Logistic regression analysis showed that sex,smoking,sweetmeat,family history of essential hypertension(EH)and tea drinking were influencing factors of MS. Conclusions The prevalence of MS is high in rural elderly population,especially in females.

Objective To investigate the relationship between standard CD44(CD44s)expression and tumor stage and prognosis in colorectal cancer.Methods CD44s expression was detected by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissues and normal mucosa specimens from 74 cases of primary colorectal cancer.Results Of 74 cases,the expression of CD44s in colorectal cancer tissue and normal mucosa specimens was documented in 42% and 16%,respectively.The expression of CD44s in primary tumors significantly increased in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ than in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ(39% vs.6%,x~2=8.46,P＜0.01).A statistically significant correlation was observed between the overall survival and CD44s expression(x~2=17.82,P＜0.01).Furthermore,a poor prognosis of CD44s-positive tumors was observed in patients with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ colorectal cancer(x~2=16.23,P＜0.01),but not in patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ colorectal cancer(x~2=1.34,P＞0.05).Multivariate analysis indicated that TNM stage and CD44s expression were independent predictors of overall survival in colorectal cancer.Conclusion CD44s overexpression is involved in the progress of colorectal cancer and predicting the prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the impacts of comprehensive diabetes intervention to provide evidence for effective diabetic control in rural communities.Methods Diabetic patients from four communities at Wujin District of Changzhou City were selected.One hundred and seventy-three patients from two communities received comprehensive intervention,including medication therapy,diabetes education,and diet.exercise,and behavior instruction(intervention group);142 patients from the other two communities got medication therapy only (control group).All the participants were interviewed with structured questionnaire and phyrsical examination.The second epidemic investigation was conducted at 4 years to evaluate the effects of the intervention.Results At the end of the intervention,the awareness rates of normal fasting plasma glucose,major diabetes risk factors,healthy diet,and therapeutic strategies in the intervention group were 90.8%.74.6%,89.6%,and 59.5%,respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05).For the intervention group,the rates of diet behavior or physical exercise change were 68.8% and 58.4%.respectively.which were much higher than those of the control group(all P<0.05).The average levels of systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,fasting plasma glucose,and total cholesterol were (130.6±10.4)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa),(78.4±7.5)mm Hg,(6.2±3.1)mmol/L,and (4.5±0.9)mmol/L,respectively,in the intervention group,which were lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Comprehensive intervention shows significant effects on rural community patients with diabetes.

Objective To observe the prognostic effects of the patients with intracranial saccular aneurysm (Hunt-Hess grade Ⅳ- Ⅴ)first treated conservatively for 12 hours and then with surgical treatment and endovascular treatment. Methods The clinical data of 32 patients with intracranial saccular aneurysm (grade Ⅳ,n = 24 and gradeⅤ,n = 8)Hunt-Hess grade Ⅳ-Ⅴadmitted from January 2012 to January 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Sixteen of them were treated conservatively for 12 hours in hospital,and then they were treated with surgery or embolization (postpone surgery group)and 16 underwent emergency surgery or embolization (immediate surgery group). The neurological prognosis of the patients was evaluated at 1,3 and 6 months before and after treatment. Results There was no significant difference in Glasgow outcome scores between the postpone surgery group and immediate surgery group at 1 month after treatment (3. 7 ± 1. 4,3. 8 ± 1. 2;t = 1. 372,P > 0. 05);there was no significant difference in Rankin prognostic scores at 3 months after treatment (3. 7 ± 1. 7,3. 6 ± 1. 5;t = 1. 361,P > 0. 05);But there was significant difference in prognostic scores at 6 months after treatment between the two groups (3. 5 ± 1. 5, 4. 2 ± 1. 8;t = 2. 234,P < 0. 05). Conclusion Patients with high grade cystic aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage can be treated with conservative treatment. After 12 hours,endovascular embolization or surgical treatment may be performed. The prognosis at 6 months is better than emergent direct surgery or embolization.

Objective To explore the status of C57BL/6J mouse brown fat adipogenic differentiation function with aging.Methods C57BL/6J female and male mice at the ages of 0-week (newborn),4-week,8-week,12-week old were selected from the same brood,brown adipose tissue was obstained from their interscapular region,and the brown adipose was identified by using immunohistochemical markers.Then the total RNA was extracted from the brown adipose and quality identification was determined at the same time.The expression levels of the related genes (PPARα,C/EBPα,PGC-1α,PPARγ,FOXC2,BMP7) induced by brown adipose adipogenic differentiation were detected by quantitative real-time PCR in 0-week,4-week,8-week,12-week mice.Results Uncoupling protein -1 (UCP1) immunohistochemical data indicated that positive deep-colour substance was brown adipose tissue.Quantitative Real-time PCR also indicated that the expression volume of adipogenesis gene gradually reduced with aging,and there were significant differences at the different time points [PPARα (F =11.96,P ＜ 0.000 1),C/EBPα (F =9.39,P ＜0.000 1),PGC-1α(F =17.21,P ＜0.000 1),PPARγ(F =13.11,P ＜0.000 1),FOXC2(F =12.23,P ＜0.000 1),BMP7(F =16.44,P ＜0.000 1)].Conclusions The adipogenic differentiation ability and activity of mouse brown adipose gradually reduce with aging.But the regulatory factors for its function needs to be further investigated.

Objective To observe the survival of human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) after injection into the vitreous of rabbits,and the animal safety under those procedures.Methods Twenty-seven pigmented rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups (intravitreal injection 1 week group,2 weeks group and 4 weeks group),each with 9 rabbits.For each animal the right eye was the experimental eye receiving hUC-MSCs injection,while the left eye was the control eye receiving cuhure medium.The rabbit eyes were examined by slit-lamp microscope,indirect ophthalmoscopy,fundus photography,fundus fluorescence angiography(FFA)and Tono-pen tonometer before and after injection.hUC-MSCs were labeled by CM-Dil in vitro,and their survival status was measured by eonfocal fluorescence microscopy,light microscope and transmission electron microscope at 4 weeks after injection.Results Four weeks after injection,a large number of the hUC-MSCs were still alive in the vitreous cavity.The overall condition of those rabbits was good.The anterior segment and retina of experimental eyes were normal,without hyperfluorescence,hypofluorescenee and leakage in the retina at 1,2 and 4 weeks after injection.There was no significant difference on lOP before and after injection at different time points (P>0.05),and no obvious changes at cornea,anterior chamber angle,lens,retinal structure by.light microscope and transmission electron microscope examination.Conclusion hUC-MSCs can survive in the rabbit vitreous for four weeks;intravitreal injection of hUC-MSCs was safe and feasible.
