0.05)in cell volume between the experimental group and control group after exposured in hypertonic NaCl saline for 15 minutes. Compared with the control level,after 60 minutes and 1 day all astrocytes shrunk significantly, (P0.05). Conclusion:Astrocytes can restore their cell volume following exposition in hypertonic saline.

0.05). The cell volume of astrocytes was not significantly changed after exposition to hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution for 15 minutes. After 60 minutes all astrocytes shrunk significantly until 1 day later. 7 days later,their volumes restored to the value in control group. Conclusion: The hippocampal neuroncs have not the autoregulative ability of the cellular volume. but astrocytes have after exposition to hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution for 15 min: the volume of both cells 7 days later can restore to the previous value.

To investigate the mechanism of lead biosorption and biotransformation in lead-resistant bacteria in microcosmic scale, synchrotron radiation micro X-ray fluorescence (μ-SRXRF ) and X-ray absorption near edge structure ( XANES) was used to determine the element distribution characteristics and speciation of lead ( Pb) in lead-resistant bacteria strain isolated from farmland soil samples taken from a lead-zinc mine in Lanping county, Yunnan province in China. The isolated species was identified to be Arthrobacter sp. The concentration of Pb biosorpted in lead-resistant bacteria was directly determined byμ-SRXRF, and the results showed that the highest concentration was 5925μg/g and the bioaccumulate factor was 14 . 8 . Speciation of Pb in lead-resistant bacteria B2, LB ( Lysogeny Broth) medium and soil were also presented after using Pb LⅢXANES. Compared with Pb LⅢ XANES peak shape and peak position between standard samples, it was demonstrated that the Pb in lead-resistant bacteria was mainly formed by amorphous forms like PbS (58. 0%), (C17H35COO)2Pb (22. 2%), Pb5(PO4)3Cl (19. 8%) rather than organic Pb speciation which was exist in LB medium. Therefore, the isolated lead-resistant bacteria could biotransform Pb to sulfuric compounds. The biotransformation regular could be of great interest for other investigators as reference in study of bioavailability impact factor of heavy metals.

Intracerebral vessels from 10 hemispheres of children were perfused with ABS and observed under the 6212-Ⅲ surgical microscope and TSM-Ⅰ scanning electron microscope.1. The arterial network of the pia mater shows irregular anastomoses. Many terminal branches in the meshwork do not form anastomosis but perforate into the brain tissue at right angle. Most of the points where the arteries perforate are longit udinally arranged along the gyri.2. The venous network of the pia mater usually lies deeper than the arteries and becomes superficial to the latter after joining together to form larger vessels.3. The cortical arteries have an average diameter of 44.3?m. They are densely distributed like hairs of a brush.4. The tributaries of the cortical veins join to form larger veins assuming the shape of an inverted fir tree.5. The medullary arteries are different in length and in diameter. The diameter averages 158.2?m. The arteries perforating through the top of the gyrus are straight but those from the sulcus bend to a certain degree after they pass through the cortex. Branches from the middle segments come out vertically and form "T"-shape branches. The deep segments send out branches like the roots of a tree and form widespread anastomoses with the central arteries. Wavy, tortuous medullary arteries can be also found. The casts of these arteries were observed under the SEM.The medullary veins and central arteries have been studied and described microanatomically.

Objective To observe and analyze the four changes of plasma D- dimer and coagulation in pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy, and to explore the value of the test. Methods The subjects of this study were 120 pregnant women who underwent routine physical examination in our hospital, according to different stages of pregnancy (early pregnancy, middle pregnancy, late pregnancy, and before delivery) Four D- dimer and four blood coagulation tests were performed in pregnant women, and the results were observed and compared. Results During the pregnancy, D- dimer has increase trend (P<0.05); early in pregnancy, pregnancy and late pregnancy, PT has shortened(P<0.05); pregnancy, APTT has shortened (P<0.05), at the end of pregnancy and parturient period, showing a significant shortening (P<0.05); phenomenon in early pregnancy to mid pregnancy stage, FIB increased significantly (P<0.05), and at the end of pregnancy to perinatal period, with a sharp increase (P<0.05). Conclusion It is of great significance to perform dynamic monitoring of of plasma D- dimer and coagulation four indices in pregnant women during pregnancy.

Chinese medicine (CM) develops with the survival, reproduction, growth, and progressing of the Chinese nation. Scientific technologies not only promote continual progressing of human societies, but also provide new ideas and methods for the development of CM. In recent years, great changes have taken place in CM complying with developing modern scientific technologies, mainly manifested in the depth of CM theories at molecular levels, the combination of syndrome differentiation and disease identification, continuous innovation and development of clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques, diversified dosages of Chinese materia medica, the academic tendency of education patterns, occupational refinement, diversified medical practice modes, and so on.

Objective To compare the features of cerebral palsy with pachygyria or periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). Methods 15 children with pachygyria and 35 children with PVL were included. Their diagnosed age, clinical subtype, complications, Gross Motor Func-tion Classification System (GMFCS) were compared. Results The diagnosed age was significantly younger (P<0.001), the GMFCS was lower (P<0.05), the incidence rate of epilepsy was higher (P<0.05), and the intelligence was significantly lower (P<0.001) in the pachygyria group than in the PVL group. Conclusion Cerebral palsy children with pachygyria develope worse than that with PVL, as well as their prog-nosis.

Objective To improve understanding of molybdenum target mammographic findings of hydatid cyst of the breast.Methods The data of mammographic findings of 7 cases with hydatid cysts confirmed by operation and pathology were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The related literatures were reviewed.Results Among 7 cases of hydatial cysts, multiple cyst in one, singular cyst in 6, one of them was rupture caused by trauma. Mammography showed a circluar or elliptical dense shadow, the density was homogeneous with well defined margen, measured 4～8 cm in maximum diameter, 3 cases appeared typical shell-like calcification.Conclusion In combination with clinical and endemical data, molybdenum target mammography can be used in diagnosing hydatid cyst of the breast.
