Aim To determine whether there existed melatonin receptor (MR) in adult hepatoma tissue and to observe its property of binding.Methods Immuno-histochemistry was used to detect MR and identify its subcellular distribution. Specific binding and kinetic analyses of melatonin receptor were measured by radioligand binding assay.Results The results of immunohistochemistry showed that MT1 and MT2 existed in membrane, cytosol and nucleus of the hepatoma cells, but the expression of them principally localized in the membrane and cytosol. The specific binding assay properties of MR were presented as follows: the maximum binding capacity (B_(max)) was (0.29±0.07) pmol·g~(-1) protein. Equilibrium dissociation constant (K_d) was (48.7±6.5) pmol·L~(-1). The trait of MR, saturation and reversibility, was detected by ~(125)I-Mel specific binding kinetic analyses.Conclusions MR exists in adult hepatoma cells, furthermore, the subtypes of MR (MT1 and MT2) coexist in the membrane and cytosol, respectively,whose characters of the specific binding sites were low binding capacity,high affinity,saturation and reversibility.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of transendoscopic Doppler ultrasonogra-phy in various gastrointestinal diseases. Methods Transendoscopic Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 59 patients with various gastrointestinal diseases. Results The Doppler signals were detected beneath the peptic ulcer base in 29 of 39 patients (74. 4% ) . For acute ulcer bleeding and non - bleeding, the Doppler - positive rates were 87. 5% and 65. 2% , respectively, and the measured depth of vessels were 0. 49 mm and 0. 65mm (P

Objective To investigate the effect of PHB on the proliferation and secretion function of adrenocortical cells and the efficiency of PHB as a cell carrier in transplantation of adrneocortical cells. Methods Adrenocortical cells from rat adrenal gland were separated and cultured in vitro. The effect of PHB on the proliferation and secrete function of adrenocortical cells were evaluated by MTT and RIA method. Adrenocortical cells were seeded into PHB. After cells were cultured in vitro for about 7 days, they were implanted into rats subject to bilateral adrenalectomy. The changes of blood corticosterone and aldosterone and local histological changes were observed. Results Adrenocortical cells could grow and passage on PHB. PHB had no effect on the proliferation and secretion function of adrenocortical cells. Adrenocortical cells from autograft, allograft and xenograft greatly suppressed the proliferation of spleen cells (P

Objective To investigate the possibility of transplantation of adrenocortical cells to treat insufficiency of adrenocortical function using poly-?-hybroxybutyric acid (PHB) as cell carrier.Methods Adrenocortical cells were seeded to PHB and then implanted into rats bearing bilateral adrenalectomy, while adenocortical cells implanted into the similar rats as a contrast. The changes of blood corticosterone and aldostenone and local histological changes in these rats were observed.Results The blood corticosterone and aldostenone were elevated after transplantation. The levels of blood corticosterone and aldostenone in PHB group were higher than that of control group. Histological study showed that adenocortical cells in PHB grew well.Conclusion The implanted adrenocortical cells within PHB can not only survive in rat body but also secrete corticostenone and aldostenrone which can satisfy the need of adrenalectomized rats. It is more effective to use PHB in adrenocortical cell transplantation than that cell implanted singly.

Objective To study the relationship between cerebral vascular disease (CVD) and meteorological factors. Methods From 1998 to 2002, 6186 patients with CVD in Qingdao urban were studied. There were 1179 cases of intracerebral hemorrhage (CH), 4821cases of cerebral infarction (CI) and 186 cases of subarachnoid hemorrage (SAH). The relationship between the onset of CVD and meteorological factors including temperature, air pressure, relative humidity, wind velocity was analyzed by circular distribution analysis, Pearson correlation and multiple stepwise regression. Results High incidence of CH was found in winter and the mean angle was in January ((P

Objective To retrospectively study the perioperative complications and postoperative function recovery of 93 patients treated with simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods A total of 93 patients (186 hips) undergone simultaneous bilateral THA from January 1999 to January 2009 in our hospital were involved in this study. There were 70 males and 23 females (at age range of 25-65 years, average 41. 8 years). The preoperative diagnosis included bilateral avascular necrosis of femoral head in 48 patients, rheumatoid arthritis in 11, developmental dysplasia of the hip in 26 and ankylosing spondylitis in 8. The intraoperative blood loss, Harris scores before operation and at final followup as well as perioperative complications were analyzed. Results All the patients were followed up for average 65 months (12-118 months), which showed femur fracture in one patient and infection six months after discharge in one patient. The Harris score was increased from (36.7 ±6.1) points preoperatively to (91.2±6.2) points at the final follow-up. Hip pain disappeared in 92 patients after operation and radiograph showed no loosening. Actebular loosening occurred in one patient 49 months after operation and was revised accordingly. Conclusion Under strict control of operation indications, suitable choice and implantation of the prosthesis and emphasis on perioperative management and postoperative rehabilitation, simultaneous bilateral THA is a safe and effective choice for bilateral hip diseases.

Zebrafish was selected as model animal, and glucocorticoid dexamethasone was used as a model compound to establish a rapid and high efficient osteopenia model. Zebrafish larvae at 4 days post fertilization (dpf) were exposed to a serial concentrations of dexamethasone solutions, and 0.5% DMSO was selected as the vehicle control group. All groups were incubated in 24-well plates (28.5 degrees C) until 9 dpf. In addition, effects of 10 micromol x L(-1) dexamethasone on preventing against osteopenia induced by etidronate disodium were also investigated. Zebrafish bones at 9 dpf were stained with alizarin red. Quantitative analysis of the stained area was performed by microscopic inspection and digital imaging methods to reflect the amount of bone mineralization. Results showed that dexamethasone group at 2.5, 10 and 25 micromol x L(-1) can decrease the staining area and the staining optical density values of zebrafish head bones when compared with the vehicle control group (0.5% DMSO), which suggested that dexamethasone can significantly reduce the zebrafish mineralized bone and the bone mineral density. Results also showed that 15 and 30 microg x mL(-1) etidronate disodium can increase the mineralized matrix of zebrafish head bone and prevent against osteopenia induced by dexamethasone. In conclusion, the study indicated that zebrafish can be an idea osteopenia model induced by dexamethasone.
