Mutagenesis of several male contraceptives in sperm bead anomalies was investigated. Results show that glycosides of tripterygium wilfordii hook (GTW) and its monomer T13, microwave induce sperm head anomalies. However, gossypol and monomer T4 and GTW do not induce sperm head anomalies. Adult male mice and rats were given orally GTW, monomer T4, T13 and gossypol. These chemical agents were delivered in 1% methylcellulose. Result indicated that frequency of abnormal sperm heads in GTW, T13 groups were significantly increased, while frequency of abnormal sperm heads in T4 and gossypol-treated animals were similar to that of normal controls. When male mice were exposed to microwaves of 0.5 kW for 1-2 min, for five weeks abnormal shape of spermatozoa could be found.

Microthrombosis may be involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac microangiopathy due to diabetes. Recent studies have shown that fibrinogen-like protein 2 (fgl2) plays a pivotal role in microthrombosis in viral hepatitis, acute vascular xenograft rejection and cytokine-induced fetal loss syndrome. The current study was designed to examine the expression of fgl2 in microvascular endothelial cells and investigate the effects of microthrombi due to fgl2 on cardiac function and structure in rats with type 2 diabetes. Following induction of type 2 diabetes, 24 rats were observed dynamically. Fgl2 expression and related cardiac microthrombosis were examined. Local or circulating TNF-α was measured. Coronary flow (CF) per min was calculated as an index of cardiac microcirculation. Cardiac function and morphology were evaluated. It was found that Fgl2 was highly expressed in cardiac microvascular endothelial cells of rats with type 2 diabetes, which was promoted by local or circulating TNF-α. The Fgl2 expression was associated with cardiac hyaline microthrombosis. In parallel with the fgl2 expression, CF per min, cardiac diastolic or systolic function and cardiac morphology were aggravated to some extent. It was concluded that in rats with type 2 diabetes, microthrombosis due to fgl2 contributes to the impairment of cardiac diastolic or systolic function and morphological changes.

BACKGROUND: It is easy to established human solid tumor nude mouse model, but for leukemia which is difficult. We inhibited immune system further by radioactive ray or CTX, to decrease cost and increase the stability.OBJECTIVE: To establish a human acute myeloblastic leukemia M2 Kasumi-1 models containing AML/ETO positive genes in BALB/c nude mouse. METHODS: Nude mice were randomly divided into three groups: CTX group was injected CTX 2 mg/day in abdominal cavity for two days, and injected 8×10~5/mouse Kasumi-1 cells in caudal vein next day; irradiation group was exposed to total body irradiation, and injected 8×10~5/mouse Kasumi-1 cells in caudal vein that day; untreated group was inoculated with 8×10~5/mouse Kasumi-1 cells by caudal vein injection. Three additional mice were considered as the normal control group. The blood smearing and bone morrow slides were detected, immunity type of BMC was detected using flow cytometry, loading of leukemic cellular tumor was detected using RT-PCR, and positive ratio of AML/ETO fusion gene was detected using FISH method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After inoculated into untreated nude mice by caudal vein injection for 14 days, the ratio of leukemia cell in blood smearing was 3.5%, and over 40% in bone marrow slides, which was equal to the results of FISH and FCM. The increasing of tumor loading was time-dependent. For irradiation group and CTX treated group, the tumor loading was higher that untreated group, and the cells also survived more than 60 days. AML/ETO band was observed by RT-PCR in all experimental groups, for normal mice it was negative. The results indicated that the systemic disseminated leukemia model was established successfully by caudal vein injection 8×10~5/mouse Kasumi-1 cells in the three experimental groups.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of segmental living related liver transplantation for very small infant with biliary atresia. Methods The recipient was a 145-day-old male with congenital biliary atresia. The infant was 66 cm in height and weighed 3.08 kg. The donor was his 36-year-old mother. Her segment Ⅱ of the liver was excised and orthotopically transplanted into the infant's body as the graft. The portal vein of the graft was end-to-end anastomosed to the portal vein of the recipient, the hepatic artery of the graft was end-to-end anastomosed to the proper hepatic artery of the recipient with lateral superficial vein of left great saphenous vein from donor as a bridge, and the hepatic vein was end-to-end anastomosed to the hepatic vein of the recipient whose hepatic vein was conformed from right, middle and left hepatic vein. Biliary tract was reconstructed via Roux-en-Y operation. Results Segment Ⅱ (160 g) of liver from donor was resected, and there was no blood infusion. The donor retained her liver function within 5 days and was discharged on the eighth day. The operating time of graft implantation was 451 min. The blood loss was 250 ml. Non-liver stage was 71 min. The cold ischemic time was 132 min. Cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and prednisone were used for postoperative immunosuppression. The bilirubin level of the infant was decreased to the normal level one week after operation, and the liver function became normal in 9 days. Jejuno-leakage on the 7th day after the transplantation was recovered by mend and drainage and discharged on the 35th day. The donor and recipient were in satisfactory condition to present. Conclusion The segmental living related liver transplantation is advisable for very small infant with biliary atresia. Perfect operative technique and postoperative intensive care are the keys to ensure the success of the procedure.
