1.Establishment of gastric cancer model in nude mice
International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(7):472-474
The establishment of animal model is fundamental to the experimental studies. It involves the selection of animals and cell lines, the determination of the number of cells and the option of the ways of transplant. Only when each production step is operated by following the occurrence and the development mechanism of the gastric cancer, can we simulate the process of growth of the gastric cancer in human body.Due to their congenital immune deficiency, the nude mice serve a better choice for the establishment of gastric cancer animal model. Beyond that, the cell lines selection and transplant way option also play important roles.

Objective To investigate the value of interventional therapy in bile duct injury (BDI) due to laparoscopie cholecystectomy (LC). Methods Data of 24 BDI patients, who received interventional treatment after LC from June 1997 to May 2007, were retrospectively analyzed. Results According to Liu Yunyi criteria of BDI classification, there were 5 cases of type Ⅰ , 11 cases type Ⅱ , 2 type Ⅲ and 6 type Ⅳ. BDI was found during LC in 2 patients and the operation was switched to open cholecysteetomy, but bile duct infection was experienced 10 months and 2 years after the operation, respectively. BDI was diagnosed postoperatively in 22 patients, in which 13 eases occurred 3-12 days after LC, 7 cases 20-60 days after LC, and 2 cases 2 years after LC. Complete remission was achieved by interventional therapy in 5 patients, the other 19 patients received curative operation after control of cholangitis and jaundice. Among 13 patients who were diagnosed BDI 3-12 days after LC, 6 underwent emergency operation and failed. Of the 7 other patients who received interventional therapy, 3 were cured and the others underwent curative operation after cholangi-tis and jaundice were controlled. Conclusion Application of interventional therapy in BDI after LC can a-chieve successful bile duct support and drainage, and can obtain complete image of bile duct system, which is effective not only in control of cholangitis and jaundice for the safety of the following surgery, but also in cure of BDI.

BACKGROUND:Calcium phosphate has the similar mineral component of natural bones with good bioactivity, osteoconductivity and degradability. It has been widely used in bone defect repair and coatings of implants. OBJECTIVE:To review the major properties of different-phase calcium phosphate and to summarize the application of calcium phosphate in scaffolds for osteochondral tissue engineering. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed, CNKI and VIP database was performed for relevant articles published from January 2000 to February 2015 with the key words of “osteochondral; calcium phosphate (including hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, calcium polyphosphate); tissue engineering” in Chinese and English, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Since the calcium phosphate has a variety of phases and crystaline types, a variety of materials with different structure and size can be obtained using different techniques, such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, calcium polyphosphate, amorphous calcium phosphate. These materials have some differences in their biological and mechanical properties, and hydroxyapatite is the most widely used. Biocomposite scaffolds with calcium phosphates appeared to have promising potential in osteochondral tissue engineering.

Objective To evaluate the effect of total alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides L on the nervous behavior and the expression of neurotransmitters in rats. Methods 48 male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:blank group,total alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides L treatment with 4 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 ( low dose group) ,8 mg·kg-1 ·d-1( medium dose group) and 16 mg·kg-1 ·d-1( high dose group) groups. After successive intragastric administration for 30 days,the locomotor activity was applied to test the nervous behavior and emotional state of rats in each group. After behavioral tests were finished,the contents of trypto-phan (Trp),5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP),5-serotonin (5-HT),5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), norepinephrine (NE),epinephrine (E) and dopamine (DA) were detected by ELISA in serum and brain. Results In the experiment of locomotor activity,compared with blank group ((95.33±12.75) times),the numbers of horizontal movement of Sophora alopecuroides L in medium and high dose group ( ( 61. 64 ± 5.91),(64.62±5.79)times both P<0.05) were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01).Compared with the blank group ((4.33±0.66) times),the numbers of vertical motion of Sophora alopecuroides L in medium and high dose group ((3.05±0.09)times,(3.77±0.69)times) were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with blank group ((2.25±0.39) number),the granule number in high dose group ((3.38±0.40) number) were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01),and emotional stress degree increased. Meanwhile,compared with blank group,the content detection of 5-HT,5-HIAA in different dose groups of the total alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides L was improved obviously(P<0.01),but there was no significant effect on the content of Trp,5-HTP,NE,E,DA(P>0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the degree of au-tonomic activity in rats with the content of 5-HT,5-HIAA and DA in serum was negatively correlated (P<0.05, P<0.01) ,the degree of emotional stress and the content of 5-HT,5-HIAA in brain was negatively cor-related (P<0.05, P<0.01) . Conclusion The total alkaloids of Sophora alopecuroides L can reduce the ac-tivity of rats and increase the degree of emotional stress. And the mechanism may be correlated with the in-creasing level of 5-HT and 5-HIAA in serum and brain.

AIM: To investigate the effects of low-dose paclitaxel on the morphology of bladder after partial bladder outlet obstruction ( BOO) in rats.METHODS:Healthy female Sprague-Dawley rats ( n=30) were randomly di-vided into sham operation group, BOO group and low-dose paclitaxel group.The rats in BOO group and low-dose paclitaxel group received operation to establish an obstruction model, while the rats in sham group underwent sham operation.After operation, the rats in low-dose paclitaxel group received intraperitoneal injection of paclitaxel at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg twice a week for 4 weeks.At the same time, the animals in sham group and BOO group received the same volume of saline by in-traperitoneal injection.Four weeks after operation, each rat was sedated and the bladder was weighted.Histological chan-ges of the bladder were observed by HE staining.Collagen deposition in the bladder tissue was observed by Masson stai-ning, and the fibrosis area was measured.The ultrastructure of the detrusor was studied by transmission electron microsco-py.RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group, a significant increase in bladder weight (0.376 g ±0.052 g vs 0.112 g ±0.014 g, P<0.05), the muscle hypertrophy, and a decrease in the percentage of collagen area [collagen/(col-lagen+muscle), 29.66%±2.69%vs 38.94%±3.67%, P<0.05] was observed in BOO group.Under electron micro-scope, intracellular connection had more gap junction and desmosomes than intermediate junction.The cell gap widened with a large amount of collagen fiber.Compared with BOO group, low-dose paclitaxel group decreased bladder weight (0.215 g ±0.025 g vs 0.376 g ±0.052 g, P<0.05) and improved the muscle hypertrophy.The percentage of the colla-gen area was also decreased (19.94%±1.90% vs 29.66%±2.69%, P<0.05).The detrusor microstructure showed that the intermediate junction was characterized by a predominance among the intracellular connections, and the intercellu-lar space contained less collagen fibers in low-dose paclitaxel group.CONCLUSION:Low-dose paclitaxel may ameliorate the morphological damage of the bladder and recover bladder function in the rats with BOO by slowing down the process of bladder fibrosis.
