Objective Our aim was to observe the effects of prenatal nicotine exposure on development of cerebral cortex and hippocampus in the offsprings of pregnant mice and expressions of NCAM proteins. Methods We established prenatally nicotine exposed(PNE) animal models.We investigated the offspring's structural changes of cerebral cortex and hippocampus with HE staining.Using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting we observed the changes of expressions of NCAM proteins in the neonatal mice. Results Cerebral cortex and hippocampus as well as hippocampal cell layers of the PNE offsprings were thinner than that of the control group.The expressions of PSA-NCAM in cerebral cortex and hippocampus of the PNE offsprings were higher than the control group while the expressions of NCAM-180,140 and 120 weaker.Conclusion Prenatally nicotine exposure can prevent normal morphogenesis of cerebral cortex and hippocampus of mice and can change the expressions of NCAM proteins in cerebral cortex and hippocampus of neonatal mice.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) on the obstruction of proximal deferent duct. Methods One hundred and twenty-three patients with scrotal diseases (aged 23-67 years old) were examined by CDU with 5-10 MHz transducer. Among the cases, infertility was in 88, vasoligation in 8, and epididymal nodes in 27. The sonographic appearances of the obstruction of the deferent duct were analysed, compared with that of normal deferent duct. Results Of the 123 cases, the obstruction of the deferent duct was in 72, included absence of deferent duct in 6, epididymal malformation in 9, epididymitis in 37, epididymal neoplasms in 5, and dilatation of testic rete and testic efferent duct in 3. Twenty-two patients underwent surgery, confirmed the sonographic appearances of the obstruction of proximal deferent duct. Conclusions Obstruction of proximal deferent duct could be assessed by high-frequency CDU. It is helpful for distinguishing the causes of the obstruction of proximal deferent duct and choosing their therapy scheme.

Objective To investigate the effects of local application of NGF combined with Insulin on wound healing with Ⅱ degree deep scald and the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in diabetic rats. Methods 60 male Wistar rats were used in the study by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Deep partial thickness scalding was engendered on the back of the rats after one month. Then these rats were random divided into group B (scalding of the rats with diabetes, n = 15), C (insulin control, n = 15), D ( NGF control, n = 15) and E ( NGF and insulin supplementation, n = 15). And group A ( nomal control,n = 15) was created by normal rats of partial thickness scalding. The wound area, wound healing rate, and grey of HIF-1α and VEGF immunohistochemistry staining were determined on the 3rd, 7th, 15th, and 21st day post scalding days (PSDs). Results Compared to those in groups A, B, C and D, the wound healing rate in group E increased significantly since the 7th PSD [(25.33 ± 2. 32 ) %, P < 0.05]. The wound healing rate in group C and D increased significantly compared with group B [( 16. 68 ± 1.95 ) %, ( 18.29±1. 70)%, P <0.05]. Compared to group A, the group D increased significantly since the 15th PSD [(54. 84 ±3.60)%, P <0. 05]. The expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in group E began to increase slower than other groups after the 7th day ( P <0. 05 ). Conclusion Local application of NGF combined with Insulin could be beneficial to the regeneration of capillary vessel in the burn wounds of the rats with diabetes,as well as to accelerate wound healing by redress anoxia and decrease the expression of HIF-1α and VEGF.
