Objective To evaluate the changes in water, electrolyte and acid-base balance after seawater immersion in cases of open abdominal trauma associated with intestinal rupture, and to obtain a theoretical basis for the early treatment of open abdominal injury with intestinal rupture in naval combat. Methods A canine model of open abdominal trauma with intestinal rupture was established in 26 healthy adult dogs, and they were divided randomly into three groups. All animals were subjected to abdominal wall incision and intestinal rupture. Seawater immersion group(n=10) was immersed into artificial seawater after trauma; normal saline solution group(n=6) was immersed into normal saline solution after trauma; control group (n=10) had no immersion. The 3 groups were observed for changes in water, electrolyte and acid-base balance, and the results were analysed and compared. Results Signficant disturbance of water, electrolyte and acid-base imbalance were observed in the seawater immersion groups, but no significant changes of these parameters were seen in the control group and normal saline group. Conclusion Seawater immersion is the main factor leading to the disturbance of body metabolism after open abdominal trauma with intestinal rupture.

BACKGROUND: The onset of vascular dementia (VD) is closely related to brain ischemic-hypoxia. Previous research has proved that behavioral disturbance can be obviously attenuated by xingnao qizhi capsule in VD rats; however, it remains unclear whether the improvement of VD is due to the protection on ischemic cells.OBJECTIVE: Pheochromocytoma PC12 cells were cultured in vitro and exposed to Na2S2O4 to induce hypoxia injury. Then serum pharmacological technique was used to investigate the protection of xingnao qizhi drug serum on hypoxia-injured PC12 cells.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: School of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Hebei Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: This study was conduced at the Experimental Animal Laboratory and Cell Culture Laboratory, School of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Hebei Medical College, between June and December 2003.Forty SD rats were randomized into 5 groups, namely serum control group (n=12) and xingnao qizhi serum 25.42, 12.71, 6.35 and 3.18 g/kg groups (n=7). PC12 cell line was purchased form the Cell Center of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.serum 25.42, 12.71, 6.35 and 3.18 g/kg groups were exposed through gastric lavage to xingnao qizhi of corresponding dosages (composed of wolfberwhile normal saline was given by gastric lavage to rats in control group in dosage of 10 mL/kg, twice a day at an interval of 12 hours for 3 consecutive days. One hour after the last administration, femoral blood samples were collected when rats were deeply anaesthetized and serum was sepainto 6 groups. Cells in control group were cultured with control serum while in experimental model groups cells were exposed to Na2S2O4 to induce hypoxia injury 1 hour later. Cells in Xingnao Qizhi 25.42, 12.71,6.35 and 3.18 g/kg groups were cultured in 5% drug serum with corresponding dosage of xingnao qizhi drug for 1 hour before being exposed to changes of PC12 cells in the six groups were observed under reversal microscope after exposure to Na2S2O4 for 16 hours; the inhibition rate of lactate dehydrogenase production and PC12 cell injury (MTT method) was calculated for assessing cell activity.nase production and PC12 cell injury.of xingnao qizhi displayed better refraction, with fewer cell fragments that tion: It was 81.6%, 69.6%, 54.4% and 27.8% in xingnao qizhi 25.42,PC12 cell injury: It was 82.9%, 75.6%, 65.9% and 53.7% in Xingnao Qizhi 25.42, 12.71, 6.35 and 3.18 g/kg groups, respectively.CONCLUSION: xingnao qizhi drug serum can markedly attenuate hypoxia injury of PC12 cells in dose-dependant manner, which is presented by strengthened cell activity and decreased lactate dehydrogenase activity.

AIM: To observe pathomorphological changes in cerebral cortex and hippocampus in the mouse with synthetic vascular dementia. METHODS: The synthetic vascular dementia model was produced in the mouse. Animals were killed 7 d, 15 d, and 30 d after the operation, brain tissues were removed and embedded in paraffin. Section of 8?m thickness were stained with hematoxylin-eosin(HE) and Nissl methods, and observed with light microscope. RESULTS: The cerebral cortex in the mouse became thinner on the seventh day, karyopyknosis in partial nervous cells was formed, the number of local neurons was reduced, sieve structure was observed, and glial cells proliferated, with the similar results 15 d and 30 d after operation. Model mouses hippocampal cells in CA 1 area were reduced and almost disappeared 30 d after operation. At the same time, glial cells were abundantly proliferated, tubercles were formed. Cells in CA 2, CA 3 area were also reduced and hippocampal sclerosis occurred. CONCLUSION: Delayed necrosis of hippocampal pyramidal cells may be the pathological basis of ischemia cerebral vascular dementia.

Objective To study the protective effect of intraaortic protamine injection on lung in infants undergwent opening heart operation by cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Methods Sixty infants (age ≤ 1 year,weight ≤ 10 kg)who accepted opening heart operation by cardiopulmonary bypass surgery were randomly assigned into 2 groups ( n = 30 in each group) reciving intra-aortic and intra-venous protamine injection respectively. P-peak, P-plate, CL, Oxygenation Index, the number of WBC and neutrophil segregated in lungs were compared between two groups before injecting protamine and 10 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours after injecting protamine. The time of mechanical ventilation were compared as well. Results P-peak, P-plate, the number of WBC and neutrophil segregated in lungs of intra-aortic injection group significantly decreased than intra-venous injection group at 1 hour, 3 hours after injecting protamine (t =2.743, 3.512; 3.218, 3.469; 3.716, 5.243; 3.853,4. 783 respectively, Ps ＜ 0. 05 ), while the CL and Oxygenation Index increased significantly ( t = 3. 976,4. 267; 4. 557,4. 265 respectively, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The duration of mechanical ventilation follow operation in intraaortic injection group ( [8. 03 ± 5. 14] h ) was shorter compared with intra-venous injection group ( [10. 56 ±6.95]h) (t =2.599,P＜0.05). Conclusion By intra-aortic protamine injection the lung injury decreased significantly. It shows good protective effect on lung in infants underwent opening heart operation by cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.

Objective To evaluate a protocol of early treatment for dogs suffering from open abdominal injury and seawater immersion. Methods A canine model of open abdominal injury was made with 30 adult health dogs. After 2 hours seawater immersion, the dogs were divided into two groups: treatment group( n =18) and control group(untreated group, n =18). The changes of survival rate, body liquid metabolism and hemodynamics were observed respectively. Results The survival rate significantly increased from 0 in control group to 94 4% in treatment group. The disorder of hemodynamics and body liquid metabolism was improved significantly, P

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of sirolimus 0.1% ointment in the treatment of facial angiofibromas in children with tuberous sclerosis complex. Methods Sirolimus 0.1% ointment was prepared. Twenty children with tuberous sclerosis complex who had facial angiofibromas were enrolled in this study. Facial angiofibromas were topically treated with the self?prepared sirolimus 0.1% ointment twice a day for 12 weeks. The facial angiofibroma severity index(FASI)was calculated, the degree of satisfaction with the treatment was evaluated, and adverse reactions were analyzed at weeks 4 and 12. Plasma sirolimus concentrations as well as blood biochemical and immunological parameters were measured, blood coagulation activity was evaluated, and routine blood tests as well as urine tests were performed at baseline and week 12. Results The FASI of patients significantly decreased at weeks 4(4.400 ± 1.284)and 12(2.975 ± 1.543)compared with that at baseline(5.750 ± 1.175, both P<0.000 1), and was significantly lower at week 12 than at week 4(P < 0.000 1). The efficacy index was 49.87% ± 22.08% at week 12, significantly higher than that at week 4(24.43%± 10.18%, t=7.338, P<0.01). The color, size and number of lesions significantly decreased in all the patients, and facial angiofibromas completely disappeared in 2 patients at week 12. At week 4, 10 parents were satisfied with the improvement of erythema, 3 parents with that of lesion volume, and 3 parents with that of lesion area. The degree of parent satisfaction increased at week 12 in all the cases. The blood concentration of sirolimus was lower than 1.0μg/L both before and after the treatment. No severe systemic or local adverse reactions were noted in these patients. Conclusion Sirolimus 0.1%ointment is markedly effective and safe for the treatment of facial angiofibromas in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex.

Nissl stain and immunocytochemical methods were used to observe the structure of the subnuclei of interpeduncular nucleus in human neonatal brain and their localization of substance P-, leu enkephalin-, and serotonin (5-HT)-like immunoreactive elements. It was detected that the human neonatal interpeduncular nucleus could be divided into five subnuclei, including: the dorsal, dorsolateral, lateral, central, and intermediate subnuclei. The immunocytochemical results showed that the substance P-containing cell bodies and fibers or terminals were distributed chiefly in the dorsolateral, lateral subnuclei and the ventral part of the intermediate subnucleus; the enkephalin-containing cell bodies and fibers or terminals were concentrated in the central subnucleus; and meanwhile the serotonin-containing cell bodies and fibers or terminals were found mainly in the dorsal subnucleus.

Using immunohistochemical technique, the distribution and development of substance P (SP)-, L-enkephalin (L-Enk)- and serotonin (5-HT)-like immunoreactivity in Gudden's dorsal tegmental nucleus (GDTN) of human foetus (fetal age 11.5 to 35 weeks)and neonate (two days) were demonstrated. Gudden's dorsal tegmental nucleus in the human might be divided into pars centralis and pars peripheralis; and the time of initial appearance for SP-, L-Enk- and 5-HT-like immunoreactivity in GDTN was different. SP-like immunoreactive fibers and terminals appeared first and were distributed mainly in the pars centralis and their density was very high. L-Enk-like imunoreactive cells, fibers and terminals were distributed in the pars peripheralis. 5-HT-like immunoreactive cells, fibers and terminals were distributed in the medial part of the GDTN; As the foetus developed further, SP-, L-Enk- and 5-HT-like immunoreactivity in the GDTN showed their own special ontogenetic changes respectively
