Objective:To discuss the role of Fas/FasL-mediated colonic epithelial apoptosis in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis(UC).Methods:Expression of Fas,FasL and M30(a new epithelium apoptosis marker) antigen on colonic mucosa of 35 patients with UC and 15 control populations were detected by IHC.Each marker was analyzed by image analysis system.Co-expression of Fas and M30 was observed through serial sections and double staining IHC.Results:The expression of Fas,FasL as well as M30 in UC increased considerably compared with controls (P

Delayed cerebral vasospasm is the leading cause of death in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. A good in vivo animal model of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage helps to understand the occurrence, development of this cerebral vasospasm, and the complicated and various pathophysiological mechanisms. It will provide important information for clinical interventions

Objective To summarize the application and advancement of liver transplantation for hepatic metastasis from neuroendocrine tumor. Methods Domestic and overseas publications on the study of liver transplantation for hepatic metastasis from neuroendocrine tumor in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results Liver transplantation can offer good relief of symptoms, long disease-free intervals, and potential cure in individual patients with hepatic metastatic tumor. Important selection criteria are well-differentiated tumors and a low proliferation rate (Ki67

Periodontal ligament stem cells(PDLSCs) are not only the crucial type of cells in maintaining dynamic homeostasis and wound repair of periodontal tissues but also the basis for novel therapeutic strategy for periodontal regeneration.Although possessing the excellent proliferation and differentiation ability,PDLSCs behave differently under various conditions representative of several influential factors.Understanding of these influential factors will help us to exploit more about PDLSCs,and more importantly,lead a new modality in treating periodontal diseases based on stem cells.Here we review multiple important factors affecting function of PDLSCs and propose its use in future regenerative therapy of periodontal defects.

Based on a retrospective review of researches on military stress home and abroad,this paper elaborates on the following4important issues:the promptness of selected literature,the advance of stress theories,the objectivity of the methods and the practicability of the results. [

Objective To investigate the regulating effect of Jianpixiaoshi Decoction(JPXSD)on gastrointestinal motility in rats of functional dys-pepsia(FD)with spleen deficiency syndrome. Methods Forty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal control group, model group,model traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)group and model western medicine group. Except for the normal control group,FD model of spleen-deficiency type was established by swimming to exhaustion on alternate days and alternating feeding of cabbage and lard for 25 days. Corre-sponding drugs were then administrated to those four groups:distilled water,JPXSD and Mosapride distilled water solution once a day by gavage for 7 days. Symptoms and body weights of these rats were observed and recorded during the experiment. After the last of drug administration,all groups were fasted for 24 hours. Nutritious semisolid paste marked with ink was given orally to the rats,GER and IPR of 1 hour were detected under anesthe-sia by sodium thiopental and blood were collected at the same time. The concentration of serum SP and SS were measured by ELISA according to the instructions. Results JPXSD improved the symptoms of model rats. Model TCM group showed significantly increased body weight,higher GER, lower IPR,higher serum SP level and lower SS level when compared to model group(P<0.05). Conclusion JPXSD could improve the symptoms of rat with spleen-deficiency,raise its body weight,accelerate the decreased gastric emptying and bring back the hyperactive small intestinal move-ment to normal. The regulating role of JPXSD may be realized through the increase of serum SP level and decrease of SS level.

One hundred and sixteen cases of vertebral artery type of cervical spondylopathy were treated by electroacupuncture on Fengchi (GB 20) and Jiaji (Ex-B 2, C2-5), cupping plus manipulation of pulling the rotated neck. The result showed 89 cases were cured, 21 cases were improved and 6 cases failed with the total effective rate of 94.8%.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a multi-factor disease,with complex etiology.It is associated with vascular abnormalities and changing vascular wall composition.AS mainly involve large and medium sized arteries,which may cause multiple organ lesions including heart and brain tissue ischemia and necrosis,myocardial infarction,stroke and other serious diseases.Its pathogenesis has not been finally clarified.This article gives review on pathological changes,etiology and mechanism of AS,as well as its imaging performance.
