The morphological and functional changes of the lungs of rats in blast injury were analyzed and related with a microcomputer-assisted morpho-metry.The results were as follows:1.Significant correlation or partial correlation existed between stereological and functional indices,2.Changes of endothelium and epithelium rather than the interstitium contributed to the increase of harmonic and arithmetic mean thickness of the air-blood barrier.3.The regression equations included the following:a.PaO2=3.56 + 1.62DL (O2),r=0.678,P=0.032b.PaO2=2.99+3.49DL(O2)-0.0005SA+0.0035SC-38.2VC-0.257Tap -0.028Dt (O2)ry=0.999,P=0.008c.PaCO2=7.69+0.0001SA-4.35Tat+19.7Tht-46.2Thp-4.4Taen-5.87Tacp ry=0.9999,P=0.014d.pH=3.058 + 0.0005SA-1.79Tat + 12.2Tht-50.8Thp-2.52Taent+0.69DL(O2)ry=0.9999,P=0.01The significance and application of stereology in the establishment of the quantitative relationship between morphological and functional indices were discussed.It is possible to correlate morpheme trie parameters with the functional changes of an organ.

The separation,purification and activity determination of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) with nucleic acid molecular hybridization was described and the changes of bFGF in lung injury treated with prostacy-clin were observed.It was found that bioactive bFGF and bFGF-mRNA could only be found in the injured lung tissues but not in the normal lungs.Administration of prostacyclin could slightly elevate the activity of bFGF and signficantly increase the level of bFGF-mRNA.The findings of this study suggest that there is an increase of bFGF level after lung injury,prostacyclin can influence the expression of bFGF,and bFGF plays an important role in the repair of the injured lung tissues.

The instantaneous changes of the body cavities under the impact of blast waves were studied in three dogs. The changes were recorded with the high-speed photography of three different speeds (563, 1526, and 6526 frames/second). It was demonstrated that there was an 11.7% reduction on average of the body cavities due to compression after 0.777 kg/cm2 of overpressure was received.In correlation with the authors' previous research work and with the relevant literature, it is believed that the 11.7% reduction is likely related to the severe pulmonary injury which is resulted from the abrupt disturbance of hemodynamics after blast wave impact.

In order to compare the effects of several experimental renal calcium oxalate stones formation models in rats and to find a simple and convenient model with significant effect of calcium oxalate crystals deposition in the kidney, several rat models of renal calcium oxalate stones formation were induced by some crystal-inducing drugs (CID) including ethylene glycol (EG), ammonium chloride (AC), vitamin D(3)[1alpha(OH)VitD(3), alfacalcidol], calcium gluconate, ammonium oxalate, gentamicin sulfate, L-hydroxyproline. The rats were fed with drugs given singly or unitedly. At the end of experiment, 24-h urines were collected and the serum creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), the extents of calcium oxalate crystal deposition in the renal tissue, urinary calcium and oxalate excretion were measured. The serum Cr levels in the stone-forming groups were significantly higher than those in the control group except for the group EG+L-hydroxyproline, group calcium gluconate and group oxalate. Blood BUN concentration was significantly higher in rats fed with CID than that in control group except for group EG+L-hydroxyproline and group ammonium oxalate plus calcium gluconate. In the group of rats administered with EG plus Vitamin D(3), the deposition of calcium oxalate crystal in the renal tissue and urinary calcium excretion were significantly greater than other model groups. The effect of the model induced by EG plus AC was similar to that in the group induced by EG plus Vitamin D(3). EG plus Vitamin D(3) or EG plus AC could stably and significantly induced the rat model of renal calcium oxalate stones formation.

Objective: To study effects of Naomaitong on injury of cerebro-microvessel basement membrane in different periods and gene expression of gelatinase system after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) in rats.Methods: Focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model was established by MCAO method of the intraluminal filament technique.Rats were divided into sham-operated group,model group,Naomaitong group and Nimodipine group at random,the later three groups with ischemia 3h and I/R 6h,12h,24h,3d,6d.Ransmission electron microscope and hybridization in situ method were used to observe the structure of micrangium and gene expression of gelatinase and its inhibitor.Results: Under electron microscope,the pathodamage in medico-group seemed lighter.According to the gene expression of gelatinase system,Naomaitong could step down the mRNA expression of MMP-2(I/R 6h-6d)and MMP-9(I/R 12h,I/R 3d).And increase the mRNA expression of TIMP-1(I/R 6h-3d).Conclusion: The protection of Naomaitong on cerebro-microvessel basement membrane after cerebral I/R in rats are related to the gene expression regulation of gelatinase system.

Background:Dexamethasone can protect mice against the acute inflammatory liver injury by inhibiting innate immune cell function. However,the roles of T cell in this protective effect remain unknown. Aims:To investigate the regulatory effect of dexamethasone on T cell immune response in acute inflammatory liver injury. Methods:Six male C57BL/ 6J mice were randomly divided into 2 groups. One hour before induction of acute inflammatory liver injury by lipopolysaccharide, dexamethasone 5 mg/ kg and PBS were given intraperitoneally in experimental group and model group,respectively. All the mice were sacrificed 12 hours after model construction. The clinical score and liver function parameters were assessed;splenic mononuclear cells were isolated for measurements of T cell activation,as well as cytokine expression,secretion, and transcriptional factor expression for different T-cell subsets. Results:Clinical score and serum levels of transaminase were significantly lower in experimental group when compared with the model group. Meanwhile,percentage of CD44 +CD62L - T cells(i. e. activated or memory T cells)from spleen was significantly decreased in experimental group. Among splenic T cell population,expression and secretion of IFN-γ,a Th1-type cytokine,was decreased;expression and secretion of IL-4,a Th2-type cytokine,percentage of regulatory T cells(Treg cells),and ratios of Th2 / Th1 and Treg/ Th1 were increased;transcriptional factor specific for Th1 cells was down-regulated,and those for Th2 and Treg cells were up-regulated. Conclusions:Dexamethasone inhibits T cell activation and directs the reciprocal T cell lineage differentiation (repressing Th1 cell differentiation,promoting Th2 and Treg cell differentiation),which may contribute to the protection against acute inflammatory liver injury.
