Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2006;27(8):863-866
Objective: To establish a white noise-induced stress ulcer model in rats and to assess the changes of gastric parietal cell configuration and acid secretion under noise stress. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: NS 4 h,8 h and control groups. The rat NS model was induced by white noise. The pH values of gastric juice were measured by the pH/mV pH meter and the gastric ulcer index (UI) was evaluated. The stomach tissue was processed for immunofluorescence detection and the β subunit of H+, K+-ATPase was immunostained. The gastric parietal cell configuration was observed with conventional microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscope. Results: (1)The pH value of NS 4 h group (2.22±0.05) was significantly lower than that of control group (2.59±0.21, P<0.05), but higher than that of NS 8 h group (1.31±0.06, P<0.01). (2) The UI of NS 4 h group (10.5±1.29) was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), but significantly lower than that of NS 8 h group (34.36 ± 2.22, P < 0.01). (3) The reticular pattern parietal cells in NS 4 h group (55.5±3.42)/100 was significantly higher than that in control group (42.5±3.70/100, P<0.01), but lower than that in NS 8 h groups (62.0±3.46/100, P<0.05). (4) The pH was negatively related with both UI (r=-0.85, P<0.05) and the number of reticular parietal cells (r=-0.89, P<0.05). Conclusion: A white noise-induced stress ulcer model has been successfully established in rats. NS rats develop gastric mucosal lesions with increased acid secretion, which is closely related with the oxyntic function of parietal cells.

Objective:The paper aims to evaluate the impacts of the urban residents’ basic medical insurance on the medical treatment and preventive care services utilization through quantitative evaluation. Methods:The China Health and Nutrition Surveys ( CHNS) Data collected from 2006 to 2011 were used to compare the difference between medical treatment and preventive care services utilization adopting the difference-in-difference method and the Probit model. The control group urban residents did not participate in the basic medical insurance while their treatment group participated. Results:The medical treatment and preventive care services utilization were more for the treat-ment group than they were for the control one. The age, education level, annual per capita income and hypertension influenced the medical services utilization, and the annual per capita income was a protective factor. The age and ed-ucation level also influenced the preventive care services utilization. Conclusion: The urban resident basic medical insurance plays an important role in the medical treatment and preventive care services utilization. Meanwhile, this factor continuously enhanced the coverage and the per capita income protection for medical services.

Objective To study the correlation between normal level of thyroid hormone and gensini coronary scor-ing system. Methods Coronary heart disease patient who were treated with Cardio-angiography (CAG) (n=231) were divid-ed into 4 groups based on gensini coronary score. All the patients were examined with indexes include total triiodothyronine (TT3), total thyronine(TT4), free thyronine(FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). And correla-tion between thyroid hormone level and gensini coronary scoring system was studied by Spearman correlation analysis and Multiple regression analysis. Results No significant difference was found in the levels of TT3, TT4, FT4, Cholesterol(CHO) and Triglyceride(TG) between the all 4 groups (P>0.05). FT3 and HDL-C decreased with the increase of extent of coronary artery lesions(P<0.01), and AGE and LDL-C raised with the coronary artery lesions extent (P<0.05). Gensini coronary scoring system was linearly negatively correlated with FT3, HDL-C and positively correlated with age and LDL-C. Age, FT3,HDL-C,LDL-C was independently correlated to Gensini score. Conclusion The lower level of FT3 is an indepen-dent risk factor for CHD.

Objective To understand the gene characteristics of envelope region of human T lymphotropic virus type Ⅰ(HTLV Ⅰ)from Shantou region of China. Methods The gene of proviral envelope region of HTLV Ⅰ Shantou strain (named HTLV Ⅰ WHP)was amplified by PCR,using 4 designed primers,and then was sequenced,meanwhile it was compared with that of various HTLV Ⅰ representative strains from all around the world,and subsequently it was analyzed to construct its phylogenetic tree.Results The nucleotide sequence of complete envelope region of HTLV Ⅰ WHP provirus we have obtained was 1466 bp.There no deletion and insertion in the deducted amino acid sequence.The results of phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the HTLV Ⅰ WHP strain was most closed to some of the strains from Japan and Caribbean,and like the latter,belonged to the subtypea of cosmopolitan group.Conclusion The HTLV Ⅰ strains either from the coastal region of Southeast China or from Japan,Caribbean and so on have the common origin of evolution.

Objective To evaluate the role of intercellular gap junction in lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rabbits. Methods Twenty-four healthy rabbits of both sexes weighing 1.5-2.2 kg were used in this study. The animals were anesthetized with iv 3% pentobarbital 30 mg/kg,tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated. Femoral artery was cannulated for MAP monitoring, blood-letting.Right external jugular vein was cannulated for fluid infusion. Hemorrhagic shock was induced according to the method described by Wiggers. MAP was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg for 60 min. The animals were then randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 12 each):traditional treatment group (group A) and octanol group (group B). Both groups received rapid iv infusion of lactated Ringer's solution (LR solution) 1.5 ml·kg-1 ·min-1 for 30 min (T3 ).In group B 99.5% octanol (a specific gap junction inhibitor) 5 mmol/kg was injected intraperitoneally (IP) in addition to iv LR solution infusion. Thirty minutes later the animals were resuscitated with infusion of the blood withdrawn and LR solution (the volume was equal to the volume of blood loss). Then LR solution was infused iv at 2.5 ml· kg-1 · h-1 for 150 min ( T4 ). Left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) and HR were recorded before blood letting (T1), immediately after successful establishment of the model (T2), and at T3 and T4. The mortality during resuscitation was calculated. The animals were killed at T4. Blood samples were taken from femoral artery for determination of the serum protein concentration. The lungs were removed. The left lower lobe was lavnged. The protein concentration in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was measured. Lung permeability index (LPI) was calculated (LPI = protein concentration in BALF protein concentration in serum). Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities and W/D lung weight ratio were determined and microscopic examination was performed. Results HR was significantly lower at T3 and T4 and LVSP higher at T4 in group B than in group A. The pulmonary permeability index, W/D lung weight ratio and mortality were significantly lower and the activities of Ns+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+ -ATPase were significantly higher in group B than in group A. The lung tissue danage was significantly ameliorated in group B. Conclusion Intercellular gap junction is involved in the development of lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rabbits.
