Acute necro-hemorrhagic pancreatitis (ANHP) was induced in rats by intra-pancreatic duct injection with a mixed solution of bile salt and trypsin. After 6- to 30-hr of operation the increase of plasma lipidperoxidant (LPO) levels from 4.67 to 20.5 nmol/ml and the fall of plasma amylase levels from 6577 to 2629 U were observed in the rats with ANHP. The values of the plasma LPO at 10-,20-,and 30-hr in the rats with ANHP were significantly higher than those in the control (P

Endocannabinoid system has several kinds of receptors, all of which have correspondence ligands and pathways of synthesis and degradation, and they belong to G-protein coupled receptors family. Recently studies show that stimulation of cannabinoid receptors has inhibitory effects on gastrointestinal motility and secretion. In this article, we introduce the compositions of the cannabinoid family members, includingtheir receptors, ligands, and antagonists, and their effects on the gastrointestinal motility and secretion. Useful information can be provided for the further study on the effects of endocannabinoid system on gastrointestinal motility and secretion, providing theoretic evidences for clinical use of cannabinoid.

Although we have understood only limited knowledge about the pathophysiological mechanisms of acute pancreatitis (AP),it has at least been proven that the activation of pancreatic zymogens inside the pancreatic acinar cells,as well as the inflammatory reaction resulting from the inflammatory mediators,including the cytokines and oxygen free radicals,constitute the main reason for the early pathological processes of AP. The inflammatory mediators also facilitate the complications such as lung injury and multiple organ dysfunctions. The bacterial translocation,which aggravates the pathological changes and increases the mortality in AP,causes the pathophysiological vicious circle in the later period of the disease. There is no doubt that the levels of the clinical prevention,diagnosis and treatment for AP will be greatly improved along with the elucidation of its pathogenesis.

Postoperative ileus is commonly referred to the inhibition of gastrointestinal motility after ab-dominal surgery. Some causes are responsible for the ileus, including postoperative pain and electrolyte im-balances, and manipulations during surgery. Although gastrointestinal motility normalizes spontaneously in most patients, some develop severe to postoperative ileus, which is difficult to treat, with a delayed recovery from surgery, prolonged hospital stay, and increased treatment costs. So, it is essential to understand the mechanisms of postoperative ileus for effective prevention and treatment.

Cholangiocytes are the epithelial cells that line the intrahepatic biliary tree and also the target of cholangiopathies. Despite the heterogeneous etiology ,most of cholangiopathies share the common pathological process which is the imbalance between proliferation and apoptosis of cholangiocytes. The article is a review about the characteristics and mechanism of proliferation and apoptosis of cholangiocytes and their relationship to cholangiopathies.

Acute pancreatitis is one of the common clinical diseases in emergency.The severe acute pancreatitis-associated ascetic fluid is always found in clinic.Its roles related multiple organ dysfunction(MOD)in acute pancreatitis is being understood.In this article，the possible compositions of the ascites，the mechanism of its formation，and its effect on body are recited，in order to better understand the mechanism，the prevention and the treatment of the acute pancreatitis and its compications related MOD.

Cannabinoids have been used in clinic for many years.However,their effective mechanisms,especially the role of the endogenous cannabinoid system in the regulation of intestinal motility are still poorly understood.In this article,we introduced that the compositions of the Cannabinoid family members,including their receptors,analogues,and antagonists,and the effects of them on the gastrointestinal movement.We provide the useful update information for the further clinic and experiment study on the cannabinoid family and the endocannabinoid system.

AIM: To investigate the change of Cpn60 content,the alterations of pancreatic enzymes and lysosome,in order to better understand the mechanism of intrapancreatic enzyme activation in acute pancreatitis(AP). METHODS: The AP model was replicated by retrograde infusion of 4% sodium-deoxycholate in the choledocus of SD rats. The levels of amylase in plasma and TNF-? in pancreatic tissue were measured by biochemical technique at 5 h and 10 h after AP induction. The content of Cpn60 and pancreatic enzymes in different compartments of the acinar cells were tested by quantitative protein A-gold immunocytochemistry technique. The change of lysosome in the acinar cells was observed under the electronic microscope. RESULTS: After AP was induced,the levels of amylase in the plasma and TNF-? in the pancreatic tissue increased significantly. Lysosomes with different forms were found inside the acinar cells,and some of them located in the Golgi apparatus. Cpn60 content decreased,which was accompanied by an increase of lipase or chymotrypsinogen content in the pancreatic secretory pathway. CONCLUSION: In the pancreatic acinar cells of AP rats,Cpn60 content decreased,suggesting an insufficient chaperone capacity,and combining with the change of lysosome both in its amount and location,which may take part in the intrapancreatic enzyme activation and the development of AP.

To explore whether the imprinting status of IGF-2 in the malignant epithelial ovarian tumors is different from that in benign tumors, the target sequences (DNA and RNA) which contain a polymorphism site for ApaI restriction endonuclease digestion were amplified with PCR and RT-PCR methods. Then the PCR/RT-PCR products were digested by ApaI. The IGF-2 transcriptional pattern came out from the results of endonucleases digestion. Among the 36 cases of benign epithelial ovarian tumors, 20 were heterozygous for ApaI locus and all showed genomic imprinting. While in the malignant group, 22 were heterozygous for ApaI locus but six were found to lose imprinting. Significant differences existed between the two groups (P < 0.05). Loss of imprinting of IGF-2 may serve as a marker for differentiating the malignant ovarian cancers from the benign ones. In a new field of molecular genetics, our research provides an experimental basis for genetic diagnosis and treatment of the ovarian cancers.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of Rac1 and WAVE2 protein in glomerulus of high-
fat diet induced C57BL/6J model mice. Methods Thirty-two male C57BL/6J mice (3-week old) were randomly assigned into two groups(16 in each group). The control group was fed with basic diet (10%fat) for 4 weeks. The high-fat diet group was fed with high-fat diet (60%fat) for 4 weeks. The kidney morphological changes were examined by HE and PAS staining. The expressions of Rac1 and WAVE2 protein were examined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry analysis. Results HE and PAS results showed that there were glomeruli mesangial matrix hyperplasia and exudation in high-fat diet group compared with control group. The immunohistochemistry and Western blotting results showed that expressions of Rac 1 and WAVE2 in glomerulus were both increased in high-fat diet group compared with those of control group. Conclusion Rac1 and WAVE2 protein may be involved in glomerular injuries induced by high-fat diet.
