Objective To investigate the changes and the significance of the number of nerve cells and the expression of the postsynaptic density tyrosine kinase(Fyn) in the hippocampus of the rat whose spatial learning and memory function was enhanced by chronic multiple stress. Methods Thirty-nine adult rats were randomly divided into three groups: multiple stressed,single stressed and control group.Rats in the multiple stressed group were irregularly and alternatively exposed to the situation of vertical revolve,sleep expropriate,restraint(6h/d),and night illumination for 6 weeks,to preparate chronic multiple stressed model.Rats in the single stressed group were exposed to restraint only for 6 weeks,6h/d.After that,the performance of spatial learning and memory of all rats was measured using Morris water maze.Nerve cells in different subfields of the hippocampus were observed using Cresyl violet method and counted regardless of size or shape.The expression of Fyn protein and the level of Fyn mRNA in the hippocampus of rats were detected by immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR technique respectively. Results Compared with control group,the performance of spatial learning and memory of rats was increased in multiple stressed group and decreased in single stressed group((P

Objective To study the effect of ahylysantinfarctase (AF) on the growth of fetus lens epithelial cells (LECs) in vitro. Methods Fetal lens anterior capsule membranes from the eyeballs of dead fetus delivered by induced labor underwent primary cell culture with the modified method. The second or third generations of fetal LECs were used in this experiment. They were exposed to AF of six kinds of concentrations (2?10~ -4 , 4?10~ -4 , 8?10~ -4 , 16?10~ -4 , 32?10~ -4 , 64?10~ -4 u/mL). Their morphologic changes were observed with the inverted microscope and the value of absorption (A) in each well was tested by MTT assay to examine the effect of AF on the growth of the fetal LECs collected. Results In the experimental groups, especially AF groups of higher concentration, LECs exhibited inordinate shape, less kytoplasm, more cellular endoparticles, wider intercellular space and random disposition, and even adherence failure. After the cells grew in AF of different concentrations for 48h, A value in each group decreased with the increase of AF concentration, and differed significantly between all the experimental groups (P

Objective To investigate the change of serum cardiac troponin I(cTnI)following coronary artery bypass grafting.Methods 55 OPCABs and 55 cCABGs were performed.Serum cTnI were measured before operation(T1)and immediately after operation(T2)and 1d(T3),2d(T4),3d(T5),4d(T6),5d(T7),6d(T8),7d(T9),10d(T10),14d(T11).Results The serum cTnI level increased differently after OPCAB and cCABG and then returned to normal level gradually.The peak value of serum cTnI level in OPCAB was lower than that in cCABG.There were 9 cases on myocardial infarction,of which OPCAB 4 cases,cCABG 5 case,with serum cTnI level increasing;and there weren't death.Conclusion The serum cTnI in OPCAB and cCABG both increased and then decreased to normal level gradually.Measuring serum cTnI could diagnose myocardial injury and indicate prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of P53 up-regulate modulator of apoptosis(PUMA) on the apoptosis of pancreatic carcinoma BxPC-3 cells and the possible mechanism.Methods: BxPC-3 cells were infected with recombinant adenovirus containing PUMA gene(Ad-PUMA) at 100 MOI for 0-96 h.Apoptosis of BxPC-3 cells was examined by FCM.Expressions of PUMA,Bcl-2,Bax,Cytochrome C and Caspase-3 proteins in BxPC-3 cells were detected by Western blotting.Bax expression in the cytoplasm and mitochondrion and Bax oligomer expression expression in BxPC-3 cells were determined by Western blotting.Results: Apoptosis rates of BxPC-3 cells were significantly increased with the time of Ad-PUMA infection,and peaked after 48 h.Ad-PUMA infection increased the expressions of PUMA,Cytochrome C and Caspase-3 proteins in BxPC-3 cells,and decreased the expression of Bcl-2 protein.Apoptosis rate of BxPC-3 cells after Ad-PUMA infection was correlated with PUMA expression.Ad-PUMA did not affect the expression of total Bax protein in BxPC-3 cells,but Bax expression in cytoplasm was dramatically decreased after infection,and Bax expression in mitochondrion was markedly increased.Furthermore,Ad-PUMA infection induced Bax oligomerization in BxPC-3 cells.Conclusion: PUMA can promote apoptosis of pancreatic carcinoma cells through mitochondrion pathway.

Objective To evaluate the value of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in differentiatied diagnosis for stromal tumour and lipoma in duodenal tract.MethodsThe EUS images of 44 cases of stromal tumour(30 cases) and lipoma( 14 cases) which were confirmed by pathological results were analyzed retrospectively.The location,size,layer of origin,margin,internal echo pattern and homogeniety of the lesion were recorded and compared.Results Compared with lipoma,stromal tumour showed a significant difference in the layer of origin,margin,internal echo and homogeniety ( P ＜ 0.05 ),but there was no statistical difference in the lesion location and size( P ＞0.05).ConclusionsEUS is greatly helpful to the differential diagnosis of stromal tumour and lipoma in duodenal tract.

Coronary heart disease is a kind of heart disease that is caused by atherosclerosis. The lipid deposition in the vessel wall results in occlusion of coronary artery and stenosis, which could induce myocardial ischemia and oxygen deficiency. Intervention therapies like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary stent improve myocardial perfusion using catheter angioplasty to reduce stenosis and occlusion of coronary artery lumen. Accordingly, intervention therapies are widely applied in clinic to treat ischemic cardiovascular disease, arterial intima hyperplasia and other heart diseases, which could save the patients' life rapidly and effectively. However, these interventions also damage the original endothelium, promote acute and subacute thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia, and thus induce in-stent restenosis (ISR) eventually. Studies indicated that the rapid reendothelialization of damaged section determined postoperative effects. In this review, reendothelialization of implants after intervention therapy is discussed, including the resource of cells contributed on injured artery, the influences of implanted stents on hemodynamic, and the effects of damaged degree on reendothelialization.

Biomphalaria straminea,the intermediary host of Schistosoma mansoni,was found by survey in local areas of Shen-zhen City in 1981,which was the first finding of the snail in inland China. By 2013,the snail had spread in large range of Shen-zhen City and overspread to the surrounding regions,Dongguan City and Huizhou City. Due to the facts that Shenzhen City has many international communications and is a key area of labor export,with high population mobility,while the reports of S. manso-ni infection in the returnees of our country from Africa have been increasing recently,it must be paid a high attention to whether the epidemic or transmission of schistosomiasis mansoni may happen under the present circumstance. This paper initially discusses the finding,distribution,spreading and overspreading and transmission risk of B. straminea in inland China and puts forward some related control suggestions.

Objective To identify the species classification of an ornamental Planorbidae from a flower market in Shanghai and analyze its potential distribution in China. Methods In August 2013,six freshwater snail specimens were collected from the Wanshang flower market. The species was identified by morphology and molecular biology. An ecological niche model was constructed based on the native geographic presence occurrence data,and projected onto the whole of China to predict the poten?tial distribution. Results Their shell external morphology suggested that the specimens belonged to Planorbella trivolvis(Say 1817)of Planorbidae,which is native in North America. The sequence data of a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxi?dase subunit I(COI)confirmed its identification. A total of 2 294 georeferenced occurrence points in North America were car?ried out from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility databases and 614 records with coordinates were used to produce a North American native niche model by a maximum entropy method(Maxent). The projection on China results suggested high probabilities of occurrence mostly in Henan Province and its borderland with nearby provinces. Conclusions P. trivolvis is sim?ilarly with Biomphalaria species from shell morphology. It is the first records of the species in China,and the field dispersal is not clear.

Objective To investigate the relationship between abnormal bone mineral density (BMD) and subclinical thyroid dysfunction. Methods Thyroid function, biochemical indicators of bone metabolism and BMD were reviewed retrospectively in the subjects who received health checkups from July 1, 2009 to January 31, 2017 in the Health Check-up Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. People who had thyroid dysfunction, recognized risk factors for osteoporosis, and medication history were excluded. A cross-sectional analysis of thyroid status and biochemical indicators of bone metabolism was performed by the standard methods. BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results A total of 6884 subjects (3726 women and 3158 men) were enrolled in the study, with an average age of (50.74 ± 10.41) years. They were divided into three groups:subclinical hyperthyroid, subclinical hypothyroid, and euthyroidism. The alkaline phosphatase in subclinical hyperthyroid group was higher than that in the euthyroidism group[ (67.95±20.64)U/L vs. (63.88±18.99)U/L]. Calcium and phosphorus in blood were higher in both subclinical hyperthyroid and subclinical hypothyroid groups. The rate of abnormal BMD in male euthyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroid and subclinical hypothyroid groups were 36.10％(1049/2906), 29.27％(12/41) and 27.01％(57/211), respectively. The rate of abnormal BMD showed no difference between subclinical hyperthyroid group and euthyroidism group (P>0.05). The rate of abnormal BMD was lower in subclinical hypothyroid group than in euthyroidism group (χ2=7.0901, P<0.01), especially in the males aged 40-49 years (χ2=10.4618, P<0.01). The rate of abnormal BMD in female euthyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroid and subclinical hypothyroid groups was 38.81％(1286/3314), 45.83％ (33/72) and 40.88％ (139/340), respectively. The rate of abnormal BMD showed no difference among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion There is no significant difference in the rate of abnormal BMD between subclinical thyroid dysfunction group and euthyroidism group, possibly because abnormal serum biochemical indicators preceded the presence of low BMD. More sensitive methods used to determine the status of bone metabolism await to be developed.

Objective To explore the value of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in differential diagnosis of ectopic pancreas and stromal tumor in stomach.Methods The clinical data and endoscopic ultrasound findings of 40 patients with ectopic pancrea and 141 patients with stromal tumor were retrospectively analyzed,including the location,size,growth pattern,layer of origin,internal echo pattern and so on.All patients were diagnosed pathologically.Results Ectopic pancreas were predominantly located in the antrum (92.5％) and stromal tumor were mainly located in the gastric body (45.4％),the antrum (23.4％) and the fundus (22.0％),there was a significant difference in lesion' s location between two diseases (P ＜0.001).There was no statistical difference in the ratio of longest/shortest diameter of the lesion size(P =0.057).But there was statistical difference in lesion size between ectopic pancrease and stromal tumor [(19.98 ± 12.80)mm vs (11.25 ± 3.61)mm].Mural growth pattern was most common in ectopic pancrease (82.5％) and mural growth pattern (37.6％),extraluminal growth pattern (24.8％) and intraluminal growth pattern (22.7％) in stromal tumor (P ＜0.001).The third layer (75.0％) was predominant in ectopic pancrease while the fourth (54.6％) and the second layers (34.0％) in stromal tumor (P ＜0.001).With regard to internal echo pattern,hypoechoic (32.5％),intermediate (27.5％) and heterogeneous (27.5％) was predominant in ectopic pancrease and homogeneous hypoechoic lesion (72.3％) in the stromal tumor (P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions There were statistical differences between ectopic pancrease and stromal tumor in the location,size,layer of origin,growth pattern and internal echo pattern under EUS.EUS plays an important role in identification of ectopic pancrease and stromal tumor.
