Forty-five male mice were used and divided into three groups: i.e. experimental gastric ulcer group, saline control group and normal control group. After experimental gastric ulcer was induced, the mice of three groups received intraperitoneal injection of colchicine and were sacrificed 3h later at 3, 6, 9 and 20 days, respectively. The antral mucosa was removed and processed by Sternberger's immunocytochemical PAP method to show G cells and counterstained with hematoxylin. In normal control group, the mitotic index of the antral mucosal epithelial and glandular cells was 5.93?1.23; the percentage of G cells was 2.76?0.45; the mitotic index I of G cells (the number of the mitotic G cells per 100 G cells) was 0.85?0.18; and the mitotic index II of G cells (the number of mitotic figures of the G cells per 100 antral epithelial, glandular and G cells) was 0.02?0.01. The mitotic index of the antral mucosal epithelial and glandular cells, the percentage and the mitotic index II of G cells on 6th, 9th and 20th days in experimental gastric ulcer group was raised and showed highly significant statistical difference from that of the control group, respectively. The mitotic index I of G cells was raised on 9th day in the experimental gastric ulcer group and significant difference between experimental gastric ulcer group and the control group was found. It also revealed a significant diference in the experimental gastric ulcer group as compared with saline control group on 20th day. The percentage of G cells on 6th day was most high, but the peak of mitotic number of G cells appeared on 9th day in the experimental gastric ulcer group. The distribution of G cells was found upward in the glands near the ulcer on 3rd and 6th day than in normal control. These findings suggest that the number, origin, distribution and shape of the G cells in the pyloric glands exhibited dynamic changes with the passage of time. The results suggested that the G cells might participate in the regulation of regeneration of antral mucosa during experimental gastric ulcer.

Objective To investigate nutrition status and dyspnea in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) between GOLD Ⅱ and GoLD Ⅲ, and test the evaluative validity of disease status by GOLD classification of COPD. Methods Thirty patients with clinically stable COPD were recruited, including 15 patients of GOLD Ⅱ of COPD and 15 patients of GOLD Ⅲ of COPD. Body mass index (BMI), triceps skin-fold thickness (TSF), serum albumin (Alb), and partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) were measured in each patient. Dyspnea was assessed by the Borg Scale (BS). Exercise stress test was taken by incremental exercise test. Results BMI was significantly lower in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ than that in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ[(19±5 ) kg/m2 vs (23±3) kg/m2,p < 0.05]. TSF was significantly reduced in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ than that in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ[ (8±3) mm vs(13±5) mm, P < 0.01]. Alia in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ was significantly decreased than that in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ [(32±7) g/L vs (36±6) g/L, P <0.05]. The difference of PaO2 between the patients of GOLD Ⅲ and the patients of GOLD Ⅱ was significant [(72±9) nun Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa ) vs (78±8) nun Hg, P < 0.01], and the significant difference of BS was found between the patients of GOLD Ⅲ and the patients of GOLD Ⅱ( 5.0±2.0) grades vs (3.0±1.0) grades, P <0.05 ]. In addition, 12 patients in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ took the exercise stress test and 8 patients were found anaerobic threshold (AT), 5 patients in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ took the exercise stress teat and no AT was found. Conclusions The parameters of BMI, TSF, Alb and PaO2 are significantly reduced in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ than those in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ. In the patients of GOLD Ⅲ, BS is higher than that in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ and AT is difficult to obtain, suggesting more severe in degree of impairment. GOLD classification of COPD reflects the disease stares and prognosis in the patients with COPD, as a valuable parameter in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the incidence, diagnosis and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP) in preterm infants born in the Guangdong Women and Children′s Hospital and transported from other hospital.Method:s Clinical data of 755 premature infants with ROP at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Guangdong Women and Children′s Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 239 cases born in the hospital and 516 cases transported from other hospitals.Their gestational age, birth weight, gender, severity of ROP lesion and clinical data were collected and compared.Result:s The birth weight in the group of transported from other hospital was lower than that in the group of born in the hospital[(1 290.64±392.87) g vs.(1 586.21±512.74) g], and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.001). The ROP diagnosis of gestational age in the group of transported from other hospital was higher than that in the group of born in the hospital[(35.53±2.81)weeks vs.(34.51±2.17)weeks], and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.001). On the proportion of severe condition [such as lesion area Ⅰ, aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity(AP-ROP) and plus combined lesions], in the group of transported from other hospital was higher than that in the group of born in the hospital, and the differences was statistically significant( P<0.001). In the comparison of the proportion of laser photocoagulation, vitreous injection, combination of the two operations and supplementary laser therapy, in the group of transported from other hospital were higher than those in the group of born in the hospital[60.1%(310/516 cases) vs.20.9%(50/239 cases); 10.9%(56/516 cases) vs.2.5%(6/239 cases); 8.1%(42/516 cases) vs.1.7%(4/239 cases); 4.5%(23/516 cases) vs.1.3%(3/239 cases)], and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.001). Conclusions:Premature infants with ROP transported from other hospitals have lower birth weight, severe ROP lesions and high surgical intervention rate.Improving ROP screening level in primary hospitals, timely diagnosis and efficient transportation can help to effectively prevent the deterioration of ROP in premature infants and improve their quality of life.
