Objective To study the relation between chronic stressful, the neural changes in prefrontal cortex and depression. Methods Adapt chronic unpredictable stress with separate model to make depression model rats. After 22 days all the rats were killed and use immunohistochemistry method and computer image analysis to detect BDNF. To analysis the date with SPSS11.5 software. Results After 21 days stress, body weight ( t =2.915, P < 0.05), ambulation ( t = 6. 245, P < 0. 01 ), rearing( t = 2.693, P < 0. 05 ) and grooming ( t = 2. 685, P<0.05) decreased and stopping time in center( t=2. 388, P<0. 05) ,defecation( t =3. 846, P<0. 01 ) increased in experimental group. BDNF expressed obviously in control group and the prefrontal cortex expressed highly than that of the experimental group. BDNF expressions of experimental group were lower than that in control group ( P< 0.01 ) especially in right prefrontal cortex. Conclusion There was no difference of BDNF distribution in prefrontal cortex between both groups ,but after 21 days stress ,the BDNF levels of experimental rats obviously descent,especially in right prefrontal cortex.

Objective To discuss the advance and experience of postoperative management in multivisceral transplantation(MVT).Methods Five patients with abdominal multiple organs malig- nances were subjected to multivisceral transplantation.The excised specimens included the liver,pan- creas,duodenum,stomach,spleen,mesentery and all of the involved lymph nodes.The transplanted organs were liver,pancreas,duodenum and parts of intestine.Patients were monitored and sustained stably in breath,hemodynamics and homoeostasis.The coagulation was also monitored and kept in balance.The intensive immunosuppressive protocol,including steroid,tacrolimus,mycophenolate mofetil and Zenapax,was used to prevent the acute rejection.The endocrine and exocrine of pancreas were tested,color Doppler examination was done every day,and Somatostatin was used to prevent pancreatitis.Drugs to bacteria,fungus and virus infection were prophylactically used.Results All patients waked up with 4-6 h after operation and began recovering with 3-7 days.Dynamic examina- tions revealed that the functions of grafted liver,pancreas and duodenum were satisfactory.No com- plications of acute rejection,pancreatitis,bleeding and thrombosis occurred.Conclusion Many ques- tions in postoperative management related to multivisceral transplantation are devoted to study.Nice experience of management to organ transplantation,detailed monitoring and prophylactically medica- tions are safeguards to steady recovering and further prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of the enteral nutrient(Pediasure) on making improvements in nutritional status of children with anorexia.Methods Thirty children were treated with pediasure for 2 months, twice a day, and height(Ht),weight(Wt),AG,TSF,SSF,ASF,RBC,Hb were measured before and after treatment and their appetites,alimentary canal reactions were recorded.Results Compared with the effects after 2 months, the average Ht,Wt,AG,SF all increased, and there was significant difference between pretreatment and after treatment(P0.05). All of the 30 children had no adverse reactions during treatment.Twenty-two children (73.33%) had better appetites and increased the amount of eating after treatment.Conclusion The study suggests that pediasure may be safely used in the treatment of children′s anorexia and effectively improve patients′ nutrition without adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the color and chemical composition of the wax slices, w-powder slices, r-powder slices, blood slices and bone slices of two-branch Velvet Antler, three-branch Velvet Antler and reborn Velvet Antler with different growth years, and analyze the relationship between the color characteristics and chemical composition (protein, polysaccharide, phospholipid). METHODS: The color parameters of five kinds of slices with different growth periods were detected by CIEL*a*b* color space. The content of protein was determined by Coomassie blue colorimetric method, the content of polysaccharide was determined by phenol sulfuric acid method, and the content of phospholipid was determined by molybdenum blue colorimetric method. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between color and components. RESULTS: There were significant differences in color and chemical composition between the five types of Velvet Antlers with different grow periods. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the Velvet Antler color parameter b* had a significant negative correlation with the three chemical components. CONCLUSION: The color determination method based on the principle of colorimetry can effectively distinguish Velvet Antlers in different growth stages. And the correlation analysis showed that the color digital index can reflect the difference in chemical composition of Velvet Antler in a certain degree.

Objective To explore the effect of the simvastatin administration on the expression of connective tissue growth factor （CTGF） in fihrotic lungs of rats. Methods The cats were treated with single intratracheal instillation of bleomycin （BLM） or instillation of the same volume of normal saline （NS） as a control. The administration of simvastatin（20 mg/kg）began once a day immediately or 7 days later after intratracheal BLM instillation respectively with the same volume of NS was given as a vehicle control. The rats were killed on day 7,14 and 28 respectively. Pathological alteration of lung tissue was observed hy HE staining and Masson staining. Hydroxyproline（HYP）content in lung tissue was used to determine the severity of pulmonary fibrosis. The expression of CTGF in lung tissue was exanfined by immunohistochem- istry staining and photodeusitometry. Results Histopathological changes of pulmonary fibrosis emerged gradually after the instillation of BLM. The expression level of CTGF was increased in lungs of rats after intratracheal instillation of BLM, compared with the control. The administration of simvastatin immediately or 7 days after intratracheal instillation of BLM, attenuated the histopathological changes of bleomycin- induced puhnonary fibrosis and prevented the increased expression of CTGF in lung tissue on day 28. Conclusion The adntinistration of simvastatin, immediately or 7 days after intratracheal BLM instillation, prevented the up-regulation of CTGF in fibrotic lungs of rats, which ntight be one of the mechanisms of the anti-fihrosis of simvastatin in lungs.

[Objective]To explore the roles of TIDC(tumor infiltrating dendritic cell)and TIL-T(tumor infiltrating T lymphocyte)in tumor immunity of EBV-associated gastric carcinoma(EBVaGC)and their clinical significance.[Methods]TIDC and TIL-T in EBVaGC(n=49)and EBVnGC(EBV-negative gastric carcinoma)(n=20)were detected by immunohistochemistry method and then their subtypes and their relationships with clinical and pathological factors were analyzed.[Results]Mild infiltration was detected in 29 of 49(59.2%)EBVaGCs and 18 of 20(90%)EBVnGCs,while marked infiltration of TIDC was detected in 20 of 49(40.8%)EBVaGCs and 2 of 20(10%)EBVnGCs.And the difference between the two groups was significant (P=0.013).The number of TIL-T in EBVaGC was hisher than that in EBVnGC(P=0.017),and most of them were CTLs.The number of TIL-T was positively correlated with that of TIDC(r=0.386,n=49,P=0.006).The degree of TIL-T infiltration in EBVaGC had negative relationship with the lymph node metastasis(P＜0.001),while TIDC had no relationship with the clinical features.[Conclusion]TIDC and TIL-T may play important roles in the tumor immunity of EBVaGC;TIDC may contribute to the TIL-T recruitment in EBVaGC.

Objective To investigate and analyze the postoperative progression of ossification of the patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) on cervical spine. Methods From Jaunary 2001 to December 2007, 95 postoperative patients with cervical OPLL were followed and analyzed retrospectively. There are 72 males, 23 females, with the average age of 56.3 years (range, 40-73years). The follow-up time was from 1 to 6 years, average 3.1 years. Among them 36 patients were performed with anterior cervical corpectomy, fusion with titanium mesh and fixed with cervical plates, others treated with posterior cervical laminectomy and fixation. 2 of the 95 cases were performed anterior and posterior combined operation. Clinical data, X-rays, CT and MR images and progression of ossification, were measured and analyzed in details .The relationships between the progression of ossification and relative factors, as gender, age, C3 ossified involved, T-OPLL, OPLL-type, time of follow-up, surgical approach, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores and improvement rate of JOA scores, were analyzed. Results Progression of ossification in 39 cases among the 95 followed postoperative OPLL patients, 28 men and 11 women, average age 55.9 years, range 41-71 years. The age of progressed patients included 12 cases of ≤49 years, 12of 50-59 years, 12 of 60-69 years and 3 of ≥70 years. 35 patients were operated by posterior approach and only 4 treated with anterior operation. According to the standard of the progression of ossification that 2 mm in the length or/and thickness, there are 4 cases progressed only in length, 2 only in thickness, other 33 patients both the length and thickness. Progression of length is from 2mm to 20mm (average 7.74±4.71). But thickness is progressed from 2 mm to 6 mm (average 2.67±1.51). From 1 to 3 years follow-up time it appeard as a downtrend about the progression of ossification. But it may appear an uptrend from the 4th year. JOA score and improvement rate of the JOA score were almost improved to the high-point in three years. And according to the statistic data there are obvious relationship between progression of ossification with age, surgical approach and C3 ossified involved. Conclusion There is a high rate of postoperative ossification progression in cervical OPLL patients. Cervical OPLL patients with C3 ossification involved, performed with posterior laminectomy and those young at surgery may have higher rate of progression of the ossification. The JOA score and improvement rate of the JOA score were little influenced by the progression of the OPLL during the short and intermediate-term follow-up.
