Conclusion The incidence rate of HIZ in lumbar disc is higher.Posterior and inferior AF of discs and lower motive segments have more risk of HIZs.It could develop in single motive segment or multi-segments at one time.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanisms of teratogenesis caused by passive smoking, temporospatial changes in surface carbohydrates of the embryonic neural epithelium and the mesenchyme around it were explored. Methods The pregnant golden hamsters were randomly divided into the treated group and the control groups. In the chamber made by ourself for passive smoking experiment, the animals of the treated group were exposed to smoke from embryonic day 4 to 7, 3 times per day for 4 consecutive days. At twelve o'clock and eighteen o'clock of embryonic day 8, eight o'clock of embryonic day 9 and eight o'clock of embryonic day 10 respectively, the pregnant golden hamsters of both treated group and control group were sacrificed, the uteri were removed and embedded routinely with paraffin, sectioned transversely in series. The sections of each group were stained with immunohistochemical ABC method and concannavalin agglutinin (ConA) and ulex europaeus agglutinin (UEA) were used as molecule probes to conduct the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the fibronectin and the related surface carbohydrates of the embryonic neural epithelium and the mesenchyme around it. Results During embryonic day 8 to10 of golden hamsters fibronectin reduced(F=30.168,P

Objective To explore the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in embryonic neuroepithelial cells in Golden hamster exposured to the teratogenic dose of alcohol. Methods The experimental pregnant golden hamsters were given ethanol through intraperitoneally injected, 5.8 g/kg body weight. The Bcl-2 and Bax expressions in neuroepithelial cells of experimental and control animals were detected with immunohistochemical and image analysis at 4,8,16,24,48 and 72 h time points after treatment. Results Bcl-2 and Bax proteins distributed in nuclear membranes and cytoplasm of the neuroepithelial cells as well as mesenchymal cells. In control groups, the expressions of these two kind proteins increased as the time passed at beginning, 16 hours after, came to the summit and then descended gradually. Compared with the control, the expressions of Bcl-2 in experimental groups were down-regulated, expressions of Bax were up-regulated except at 8 h time point. Conclusion Alcohol can induce down-regulation of the expression of Bcl-2 protein and up-regulation of the expression of bax protein, which may play a an important role in regulation of apoptosis in alcohol-induced neural tube malformation.

AIM: To determine the effect of exogenous phosphocreatine (PCr) at different concentrations on transient outward potassium (Ito) current in rat ischemic ventricular mid-myocardial (M) cells and to explore the antiarrhythmia mechanism in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. METHODS: M cells were isolated enzymatically from left ventricular mid-myocardium of rats. Peak Ito current was recorded by patch-clamp technique in the whole-cell configuration when M cells were superfused with normal Tyrode solution,simple ischemic solution,and simulated ischemic solution containing PCr at concentrations of 5,10,20 and 30 mmol/L for 10 min. RESULTS: Peak Ito current density of M cells superfused with simple simulated ischemic solution was significantly reduced by (76.1±6.3)% (P<0.05) compared with M cells superfused with Tyrode solution. Ischemic solution containing 5,10,20 and 30 mmol/L PCr reduced peak Ito current density by (57.1±9.6)% (P<0.05),(40.3±10.3)% (P<0.05),(34.3±9.6)% (P<0.05) and (32.1±10.6)% (P<0.05),respectively. There was statistical difference among ischemic solution without PCr and containing PCr at concentrations of 5 and 10 mmol/L groups (P<0.05). No statistical difference among groups of 10,20 and 30 mmol/L PCr was observed (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: PCr reverses the inhibition of Ito current under ischemic condition in M cells,which may be the mechanism responsible for arrhythmia prevention in ischemic heart disease. PCr at concentrations of 0～10 mmol/L exerts significant dose-effect relationship.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that dibutyl phthalate has certain toxicity to the reproductive system of male animals.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of dibutyl phthalate on secretion of rat ovarian granulose cells. METHODS:Ovarian granulosa cells from 25-day-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured in vitro and exposed to different concentrations of dibutyl phthalate (0, 5, 20, 80μmol/L) for 24 hours. Estradiol and progesterone in ovarian granulosa cells were measured by the method of radio-immunity. Expression of the cytochrome P450aromatase and P450 side chain cleavage enzyme mRNA in granulosa cells were examined by real-time PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of estradiol and progesterone in granulosa cells decreased after exposure to dibutyl phthalate. With the increase of the dibutyl phthalate concentration, the expression of
P450arom and P450scc mRNA decreased gradual y. Dibutyl phthalate could induce reproductive dysfunction and toxicity to female rats.
