BACKGROUND: Studies have proved that rotating magnetic field(RMF) can significantly increase bone mineral density(BMD) in rats, and such high BMD maintains for a long time which is independent of the actions of hormone.OBJECTIVE: To investigative the effect of RMF on bone calcium content and the correlation between bone-specific alkaline phosphatase(BAP) and deoxypyridinoline crosslinks (DPD) in rats.DESIGN: A randomized controlled study in rats.SETTING: A college of life sciences of a university.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in Shenzhen Key Lab of Microbiological Genetic Engineering from March 2004 to October 2004, using 90 healthy adult SD rats including 60 females weighing(259 ± 70) g and 30 males weighing (351 ± 104)g. The rats were randomly divided into 9 groups including 6 ovariotomy groups, namely female sham-operation group, normal calcium control group, low calcium control group, low calcium experimental group, normal calcium experimental group, and low calcium group with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) treatment, besides a male control group,male low calcium experimental group, and male normal calcium experimental group, with 10 rats in each group.INTERVENTIONS: The female rats in each group, except for those in the sham-operation group, received ovariotomy. The rats in the ovariotomy control group had only ovariotomy. After metabolic exhaustion of the remnant estrogen on the 15th day, the rats in the ovariotomy experimental group were treated with RMF for 2 hours once a day for 15 days. The male rats, except for those in the control group, all bad RMF in identical manner. The rats were given food with normal calcium(containing 0.26% calcium), lower calcium (containing 0.1% calcium) and traditional Chinese medicine(powder of Fructus Psoraleae, Radix Astragali, epimedium herb, and herba cistanchis) .After RME treatment, the rats were fed for another 15 days before the femur was collected to measure the bone calcium content. Serum samples were also obtained for measuring the content of BAP and urine samples collected to measure the content of DPD.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The bone calcium content of each group and serum BAP and urine DPD.RESULTS: Of the 90 rats used, 4 died during the experiment and 86 entered the result analysis. The bone calcium content was increased after RMF treatment, and the content in rats in the low calcium group with ovariotomy and TCM treatment and lower calcium control group with ovariotomy was(0.226± 0. 015) and(0. 206 ± 0. 015) g/g, respectively( t =4.63, P ＜ 0. 05). The bone calcium content in the male normal calcium experimental group and male control group was(0. 206 ±0. 031) and(0. 199 ±0. 014) g/g respectively ( t = 4.21, P ＜ 0.05 ) . After treatment with RMF, serum BAP content was increased and was(20. 52 ± 1.78) and(15.68 ±3.68) U/L in normal calcium experimental and control groups with ovariotomy, respectively( t=4.76, P ＜0.05), and(17.69±3.78) and (8.53±2.54) U/Lin the male low calcium experimental and male control groups, respectively( t= 4. 59, P ＜ 0.05). Urine DPD after RMF treatment was (86.97 ± 37.19)and(401.57 ±79. 34) nmol/L in the low calcium experimental group with TCM treatment and ovariotomy and the low calcium control group with ovariotomy, respectively( t =7.45, P ＜ 0.01), and(97.87 ±31.97) and (168.71 ±53.19) nmol/L in the male normal calcium experimental and male control groups respectively( t = 8.31, P ＜ 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: RMF can effectively increase bone calcium content in a short time( 15 days), and the effect was positively correlated with increased blood BAP and decreased urine DPD.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza on serum levels of cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS: Thirty-six SAP patients were randomly divided into Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group and non-Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group with eighteen patients in each group. Fourteen age-matched healthy volunteers were assigned to control group. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha were tested within 24 hours of admission and 7 days after admission. RESULTS: Compared with those of the healthy volunteers, serum levels of the three cytokines of the SAP patients were significantly elevated (P<0.05). Serum levels of the three cytokines were significantly decreased in both Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group and non-Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group after 7-day treatment (P<0.05). The declining of the serum levels of the three cytokines in Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group was more obvious than that in non-Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group. CONCLUSION: Salvia miltiorrhiza can treat SAP patients by reducing the serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha.

Objective\ The adrenal gland is a linkage between nervous system and endocrine system.Its cortex results from mesoderm,and medulla derives from neuroectoderm.Searching its double characteristic of nervous and endocrine tissue is our aim. Methods\ Histochemical and immunohistochemical staining techniques were used,and immunostained sections were observed under a light microscopy. Results\ NPY positive neuron and nerve fiber,CGRP positive nerve fiber existed in adrenal cortex.NADPH d positive neuron and nerve fiber, c fos positive neuron and nerve fiber,CGRP positive nerve fiber,SP positive nerve fiber were detected in adrenal medulla.NADPH d positive cell,NPY positive cell,CGRP positive cell,SP positive cell were found among the adrenal chromaffin cells.The zona glomerulosa,zone fasciculata and zona reticularis were stained strongly by NADPH d in cortex. Conclusion\ The adrenal gland was innervated by NO ergic,NPY ergic,CGRP ergic,SP ergic, c fos ergic nerves.The adrenal parenchyma,especially chromaffin cells can produce NO,NPY,CGRP,SP which regulate adrenal endocrine by itself.The nervous control of adrenal function and neuroendocrine function of adrenal gland is more complex than hitherto believed.\;

Objective Our purpose is to explore the occurrence and distribution of glutamate and metabotropic glutamate receptor in earthworm, P. aspergillum and to analyze their function significance. Methods By employing immunocytochemistry tchnique, the positive cells of glutamate and metabotropic glutamate receptor, mGluR1, mGluR2/3, mGluR4 in earthworm, P. aspergillum were investigated under a light microscope. Results It was found that glutamate positive cells existed in cerebroganglion, subpharyngeal ganglion, ventral ganglion, neurons between muscle cells,intestinal epithelium and epidermis, that thin and dense glutamate positive fibers distributed in pharyngeal nerve cycle, subpharyngeal ganglion, ventral neurochain, that mGluR1 or mGluR4 positive neurons were detected in cerebroganglion and mGluR2/3 positive neurons weren't observed in earthworm. Conclusion During glutamate positive neurons, some possess remarkable processes and matured appearance from which glutamate positive fibers in pharyngeal nerve cycle, subpharyngeal ganglion, ventral neurochain derive, another have few branches, unmatured appearance in which glutamate doesn't serve as neurotransmitter acting to mGluR1 or mGluR4 of neurons in earthworm cerebroganglion.

Objective To explore the relationship between the ST-T continuous changes of ECG and the chronic coronary insufficiency.Methods 158 cases of ST-T continuous changes of ECG were treated with selective plate exercise tests and the coronary arteriography.Results 54 cases of plate exercise tests were positive(34.2%),104 cases were negative(65.8%).36 cases were diagnosed as the stenosis of coronary through the coronary arteriography(22.7%).But among 54 positive cases of plate exercise tests,33 cases had the stenosis of coronary,accounting for 91.6% in the cases of stenosis of coronary.Conclusion The quiescent ECG ST-T continuous changes aren't specfic changes of chronic myocardial ischemia.Most of them are caused by other reasons.

Objective To establish two PCR assays to rapidly and simultaneously detect U.parvum and U.urealyticum.Methods Two PCR assays were established through designing two sets of specific primer targeting urease gene B of U.parvum and U.urealyticum,respectively.The standard strains of U.parvum and U.urealyticum and the clinical samples were detected by these PCR assays and PCR products of the standard strains and two clinical specimens were directly sequenced and carried out specific and sensitive assays.Forty-eight clinical specimens were tested for culture and the PCR assays and tow methods were compared.Results The standard strains of U.parvum,U.urealyticum and the clinical specimens were successfully and differentially detected by the PCR assays and the sequencing results were found to have a complete similarity to the GenBank sequences.The 14 strains of other bacterial genera including 5 strains that produced urease were not amplified by these PCR assays.Each assay had a detection limit of 10 copies/?l of plasmid DNA.The positive rate in 48 clinical specimens by PCR(54.2%)was higher than that by culture(39.6%)(P

Objective To investigate the protective effect of Ca 2+ channal blocker(Verapamil)on the testis following testicular torsion in rats.Methods Forty healthy male Sprague-Danley rats were randomly divided equally into five groups:group A(sham operation),group B1(the left testis underwent 720? positive torsion,2 h later detorsion was performed),group B2(the process as group B1 except at 30 min before detorsion,intraperitoneal injection of physiological saline was performed),group B3(the process as group B1 except at 30 min before detorsion,intraperitoneal injection of 2 mg/kg Verapami was performed),group B4(the left testis underwent 720? positive torsion,and 2 h later the left testis was excised).Five days after operation,the bilateral testes(the right testis in group B4)were extracted and nitric oxide(NO),nitric oxide synthase activity(NOS),total antioxygen capacity(T-AOC)were measured.Results After detorsion,NO and NOS activity increased greatly,T-AOC decreased significantly in bilateral testes,but more obvious in the torsive testis;Verapamil could inhibit the changes.Conclusion The excessive production of NO and the decreased T-AOC may be the main causes of the contralateral testicular injury after unilateral testicular torsion.Verapamil can reduce the testicular injury in bilateral testes after testicular torsion/detorsion in rats.The resection of the torsive testis has protective effect on the contralateral one.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of serum gastric function detection in early gastric cancer screening.Methods Forty-two cases of gastric cancer,75 cases of benign gastric diseases and 44 individuals undergoing normal physical examination in our hospital from December 2015 to December 2015 were selected as the research subjects,performed the gastroscopic examiantion,simultaneously conducted the microscopic biopsy,and extracted blood for conducting the related indexes detection of gastric function,including pepsinogen Ⅰ (PG Ⅰ),pepsinogen Ⅱ (PG Ⅱ),PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ,gastrin 17 (G17) and helicobactor pylori(HP).Serum gastric function situation in the research subjects of 4 groups was studied.Results PG Ⅰ and PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ expressions from low to high were gastric cancer group,atrophic gastritis group,gastric ulcer group,superficial gastritis group and normal group respectively,the pairwise comparison had statistical difference (P<0.05);G17 in the normal group was lower that that in gastric ulcer group,atrophic gastritis group and gastric cancer group G17 in the gastric ulcer group was lower than that in the gastric cancer group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The HP positive rate in the normal group was lower than that in the superficial gastritis group,the superficial gastritis group was lower than the gastric ulcer group,the gastric ulcer group was lower than the atrophic gastritis group,and the atrophic gastritis group was lower the gastric cancer group,the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05).Conclusion Serum gastric function detection can better distinguish gastric benign lesions from malignant lesions,and can serve as an important indicator of early screening,which is easy to accept with low cost,for the patients with positive results,the gastroscopic examination should be conducted in order to improve the early diagnostic rate.
