Objective To establish models of different susceptibility of heroin-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in rats and investigate the relation between novel environmental response and heroin-dependent susceptibility. Methods After an open-field test, 70 male Sprague-Dawley rats were classified into 2 groups according to the numerical value of heroin-induced CPP, each accounting for 30%. The correlation between open-field test and CPP was analyzed. Results CPP value was much higher than pre-test scores in the rats after exposure to heroin (P<0.01). Compared with the low-CPP group, the high-CPP group had much higher scores in open-field test (P<0.01). The deviation of resident time at natural preference side tested and pre-tested had positive correlation with open-field test (P<0.05). Conclusion Heroin-induced CPP model of different susceptibilities could be successfully established by chronic heroin exposure. The novel environmental response is a reliable predictor for its vulnerability to develop heroin dependence.

Objective To evaluate the treatment outcome of endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection (EMR) and alleviate or prevent the complication of EMR. Methods We explore a strategy of endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection to treat early esophageal cancer and severe dysplasia . Endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection was performed with transparent-cap technique, resdiual lesions were treated by Argon Plasma Cocagulation( APC). All patients have been followed up by endoscopic examinations at one month, 4 months, and 12 months after therapy. Results Seventy one cases (88 lesions) were treated by endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection with transparent-cap method. Average doses of saline-epinephrine 18 ml is injected submucosally to each lesion. The resected specimens were on average(21.8 ?1.0)mm ? (18.2?1. 0)mm in size. Five cases have bleeding after mucosectomy, bleeding were managed and controlled by compression , local injection of saline-epinephrin, and APC. Perforation never occurred. Four cases have stenosis after mucosal resection, in three of them the resected area was more than 3/4 esophageal circumference, then it was dilated with water ballon dilater at one month, two months and three months after mucosal resection, all cases were cured. Conclusions Endoscopic esophageal mucosal resection is a safe, simple, minimally invasive and effective procedure with few complication in treating early esophageal cancer and precan-cerous lesion.

Objective To explore the utility of videofluoroscopy in observing swallowing dysfunction after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Videoflouroscopic studies of swallowing (VFSSs) were performed on 40 patients with severe TBI as well as 40 healthy matched controls.Information about penetration and aspiration was collected,and oral delay time (ODT),oral transit time (OTT),pharyngeal delay time (PDT),pharyngeal transit time (PTT) and the maximum vertical and anterior movement of hyoid bone were measured. Results Seventeen of the healthy controls (42.5%) displayed mild penetration,though none had severe penetration or aspiration.Among the severe TBI patients,5 ( 12.5% ) displayed mild penetration,12 (30.0%) showed severe penetration and 17 (42.5%) subjects had aspiration.The 3ml liquid swallowing parameters of the severe TBI group were ODT ( 0.86 ± 0.37) s,OTT (0.73 ± 0.28 ) s,PDT ( 0.50 ± 0.35 ) s and PTT(0.61 ± 0.11 ) s.The maximum vertical hyoid bone movement in this group averaged (0.98 ± 0.38) cm,and maximum anterior movement was (0.37 ±0.37) cm.The healthy controls and severe TBI patients showed significant differences in terms of all six measures.Conclusion Dysphagia was found to be frequent among severe TBI patients,commonly occurring in the oral and pharyngeal phases.Videoflouroscopy may be helpful for identifying the main features of dysphagia and formulating better rehabilitation strategies.

Objective To study the types of autoantibodies in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.Methods There were 60 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis from January 1995 to December 2004 in People's Hospital. We analyzed those patients' autoantibodies results and clinical data.Results There were 75% patients with anti-mitochondrial antibody(45/60),and antinuclear antibodies were detected in 60%(36/60)PBC patients,with the following hierarchy of specificities:23%(14/60)speckled,20%(12/60)multiple nuclear dots,16%(10/60)nuclear membranous,6%(6/60)anti-centromere,1.6%(1/60)homogeneous,20%(12/60)anti-SSA,10%(6/60)anti-SSB and 1.6%(1/60)anti-RNP. Several patients showed multiple specificities. Comparing PBC patients with or without AMA,no statistically significant difference was found on ages,biochemical and immunological parameters.Conclusion AMA-negative PBC patients share the same clinical features with AMA-passive PBC. Except for AMA,other antibodies may present in PBC patients. Multiple nuclear dots and nuclear member antinuclear antibodies may be helpful for diagnosing PBC patients without AMA.
