Rats receiving unilateral nigral injection of 6 OHDA resulted in distinct reduction of DA (-88% ) , DOPAC(-80%) and HVA(-60%) in striatum of lesioned side, and the contents of 5HT and 5HIAA remained almost constant in comparison with that of contralateral striatum, suggesting selective lesion of nigrostriatal dopaminer-gic pathway induced by 6OHDA. Following 6OHDA lesion the rats exhibited circling behaviour after APO challenge. 1-Stephaniae ( 1-STP ) significantly antagonizied the action of APO in circling model in dose-dependent manner. Our results indicate that 1-STP possesses the ability to block DA receptor of central nervous system.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 5-aza-2′deoxycytidine(5-aza-dC),a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)inhibitor, on the methylation status of the RECK gene and the invasion of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cell lines.Methods:Methylation-specific PCR,Western blot analysis and quantitative real-time PCR were used to investigate the methylation status of RECK gene and the expression of RECK mRNA and protein in SACC cell lines.The invasive ability of SACC cells was examined by transwell assay. Results:Promoter methylation was only found in ACC-Mcell line and not in ACC-2 cell line.Treatment of ACC-Mcells with 5-aza-dC partially reversed the hypermethylation status of the RECK gene and significantly enhanced the expression level of mRNA and pro-tein of RECK,suppressed ACC-Mcell invasive ability.Conclusion:5-aza-dC can inhibit ACC-Mcell invasion by reversal of hyperm-ethylation status of RECK gene.

OBJECTIVETo explore the therapeutic effect of radiofrequency ablation for tongue venous malformation( VM).
METHODSFrom July 2013 to July 2014, 30 cases with tongue VM (local or diffuse) were retrospectively analyzed. 23 cases underwent radiofrequency ablation treatment. The radiofrequency electrode tip(0. 5 mm in diameter) was inserted into the lesion 1 mm below the bottom with 25 W in power and 15-30 s of pulse. The treatment was repeated when the electrode tip was removed back every 1 mm. Multi-point treatment was performed.
RESULTS15 cases with unilateral VM were completely healed after one-stage radiofrequency ablation. 8 cases with bilateral VM received two-stage radiofrequency ablation with a 3-6 months of interval. Among the 8 cases, completely healing was achieved in 5 cases, partial VM residue happened in 3 cases due to its diffuse lesion and reservation of tongue function. 23 cases were followed up for 3 month to 1.5 years. Good cosmetic and functional results was achieved in 20 cases with no relapse. Partial VM residue was left in 3 cases.
CONCLUSIONSRadiofrequency ablation can effectively treat tongue VM with minimal morbidity and good cosmetic appearance. It also avoids the disadvantages of surgery.

Objective:This study is to improves the understanding of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the tracheobronchial tree by observing the multi-slice cornputed tomography (MSCT) features. Methods:The MSCT features of 19 cases with primary tra-cheobronchial ACC confirmed by histopathology were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Among the 19 cases, lesions were located in the trachea in seven cases, in the segmental and above segmental bronchi in 10 cases, in the peripheral lung in two cases. Intra-and ex-traluminal growth were observed in 15 cases (79%), whereas broad-based intraluminal lesions were exhibited in two cases (11%). Among the seven cases of tracheal ACC, the CT scans for five cases showed a notable tendency toward submucosal extension. Two cas-es manifested as a diffuse or circumferential wall thickening of the trachea, and the other three cases presented homogeneous mass fill-ing of the trachea with wall thickening. The 10 cases with bronchial ACC were manifested as intra-and extraluminal growth. Eight cas-es presented homogeneous polypoid growth toward the adjacent lumen, and seven cases presented extraluminal parts that were larger than the intraluminal parts. Among 13 contrast-enhanced examinations, three cases were without enhancement, five cases were slightly enhanced, four cases were moderately enhanced, and one case was highly enhanced. Conclusion:MSCT performances of ACC of the tracheo-bronchial tree possessed certain characteristics, such as broad-based mass, intra- and extraluminal growth, and diffuse wall thickening. CT can diagnose tumor malignancy, but the definitive diagnosis for ACC should depend on pathology.
