Objective To study the correlation between dopamine and glutamate receptor NMDA NR_1 and NMDA NR_(2A),and to share the understanding of the mechanism of dopamine in the synaptic complex of inner hair cells.Methods Forty guinea pigs were divided randomly into four groups and the whole intacochlear perfusions were performed.The perfused cochleas were taken out as preparations 2 hours after perfusing,the contralateral cochleas were also taken out as the normal control group in the group perfused with artifical perilymph solutions.All the preparations were divided into 5 groups:①normal control cochleas;②perfused with artificial perilymph solutions;③perfused with artifical perilymph solutions containing 10 mmol/L dopamine；④perfused with artificial perilymph so lutions containing 30 mmol/L dopamine；⑤perfused with artifical perilymph solutions containing 50 mmol/L dopa mine.The semi-quantitive RT-PCR was used to observe the difference in the amount of glutamate receptor NMDA NR_1、NMDA NR_(2A).Results Dopamine inhibited the compound action potential(CAP),the increase of CAP threshold was observed and correlated with the contentration of dopamine in the perfusion solution.Regarding the amount of glutamate receptor NMDA NR_1 mRNA,there was no significant difference between group ① and group ② (P＞0.05).But a significant difference was observed the other 3 groups when compared to group ①(P＜0.05).No significant difference was detected among the 5 groups in the amount of glutamate receptor NMDA NR_(2A) (P＞0.05).Conclusion Dopamine may inhibit the cochlear auditory afferent nerve.The significant correlation between dopamine and glutamate receptor NMDA NR_1 was observed,the amount of glutamate receptor NMDA NR_1 decreased along with the increasing of the contentration of dopamine in the perfusion solution.And there was no significant correlation between dopamine and glutamate receptor NMDA NR_(2A).

Though the mechanisms involved in the induction of pancreatic islet β cell dysfunction and apoptosis under diabetes conditions are still not clear, previous studies have shown that triggered or aggravated endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress play essential roles in impairment of β cell functions, especially the JNK pathway which can be activated by both of them.

Cell polarity is a common feature of many different types of cells,and it is essential to the normal differentiation and function of cells. Partitioning defective 6( PAR6)gene encodes PAR6 protein, which is crucial to asymmetric cell division and polarized growth. PAR6 protein as a member of the PAR6 polarity complex,affects the synthetic of centrosome and protein recruitment to the centrosome. The abnormal number of centrosomal and the loss of cell polarity may eventually lead to the occurrence of tumor.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of internal fixation with or without fusion in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures.Methods Clinical controlled trails related to the application of pedicle screw instrumentation with or without fusion for thoracolumbar fractures before March,2012were obtained by searching PubMed,Science Direct,Medline and CNKI.Quality evaluation was made on the included literature,from which data were extracted to integrate various rescarch results by using RevMan 5.1.The quantitative data were analyzed based on the effect scale of mean difference (MD) and bilateral 95％ confidence interval (CI).The numeration data were analyzed in the use of effect scale of odds ratio (OR) and bilateral 95％ CI.The merging of some data was manually completed.Results After retrieving,eight English and one Chinese papers of the clinical controlled trials,and two related Meta analysis were obtained.With exclusion of one repetitive research,eight papers were involved in the review.Meta analysis demonstrated that fusion and non-fusion fixation had no significant differences in aspects of correction of kyphotic angle,correction and correction loss of vertebral body height,neurological function improvement,complication rate,and length of hospital stay.While compared with the fusion fixation,non-fusion fixation showed a more serious correction loss of kyphotic angle,a fewer blood loss and a shorter operation time.Conclusions Non-fusion fixation shows the similar efficacy with fusion fixation in the treatment of some thoracolumbar burst fractures pertaining to releasing compression,restoring spinal stability and preventing complications,but it can also significantly decrease operation time and blood loss.Furthermore,non-fusion fixation may markedly improve patients' quality of life since it restores motion of the instrumented segment after removal of implant and decreases the risk of adjacent segmental degeneration.

Objective To investigate the change of CD_4~+CD_(25)~(high)CD_(127)~(low)> regulatory T cells (Trcg cells) sub-group level in peripheral blood of non-Hodgkin lymphama (NHL) patients, and to explore its clinical significance. Methods Treg cells levels in peripheral blood of lymphoma patients and normal were detected by flow cytometry, followed by statistical analysis. Results In the 65 cases of NHL patients, Treg cells in peripheral blood were (6.72±1.38) %, higher than that in the normal control group (5.65±0.68) % (P <0.05). Percentage of Treg cells are significantly different between clinical stages and normal: [P <0.05, normal control group (5.65±0.88) %, Ⅰ -Ⅱ period (6.08±1.18) %, Ⅲ-Ⅳ period (6.95±0.85) %]. The percentage of Treg cells are also different among pathological types of patients and normal [P <0.05, normal control group (5.65± 0.68) %. The percentage of Treg diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (5.83±0.95) % and other subtypes of lymphoma (7.83±1.76) %]were observed. It is not sure that Treg cells percentage among patients with different levels of lactate dehydrogenase and normal are significantly different. [P >0.05, normal control group (5.65±0.68) %, patients with normal LDH group (6.97±1.20) %, patients with lactate dehydrogenase (6.54±1.02) %]. Conclusion Treg cells induced by tumor and could inhibit the immune cells, Treg cells percentage in peripheral blood of tumor patients is higher than that the normal control group, and increased with the clinical staging, so the percentage of Treg cells may serve as a clinical indicator to evaluate tumor load.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy on choledocholithiasis.Methods Totally 134 elderly patients with choledocholithiasis were treated in our hospital from Jan 2013 to Dec 2014, who were randomly divided into observation group and control group (n=67 for each), treated with laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy, and traditional surgery, respectively.The operation time, bleeding volume, exhaust time, in-hospital stay, complications and residual stones rate were compared between the two groups.Results The operation time was higher in observation group than in control group [(124.6±21.2) min vs.(94.7± 17.9) min, t=8.821, P＜0.001].The bleeding volume were less in observation group than in control group[(43.8±10.4) ml vs.(113.5±37.6) ml, t=14.624, P＜0.001].The exhaust time and in hospital time were decreased in observation group than in control group[(27.6 ±5.5) h vs.(43.4±8.1) h, (7.4±2.4) d vs.(10.3±2.8) d, t=13.209 and 6.437, P＜0.001 for both].The incidences of postoperative pain and other complications were lower in observation group than in control group [6.0％ vs.28.4％, 16.4％ vs.43.3％, x2=11.810and 11.547, P=0.001 for all].Conclusions The laparoscopy combined with choledochoscopy has advantages to minimize the surgical injury, reduce the bleeding volume and promote the postoperative recovery in treating choledocholithiasis in elderly patients.

Objective To test the hypothesis that advanced glycosylation end products(AGEs) increase cellular inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques. Methods Fifty rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. Hypercholesterolemic (0.5% cholesterol in diet) rabbits received repeated intravenous injection of either AGEs modified rabbit serum albumin (AGEs-RSA ) (group A) or unmodified RSA (group B) for 10 weeks. Rabbits treated with either hypercholesterolemic diet (group C)or with a normal diet(group D) or with a normal diet, and intravenous injection of AGEs-RSA (group E) were served as controls. Aortas were harvested at the 10th week, and lipid deposition was quantitated by oil red 0 staining. Macrophage (RAM-11 positive cells) and T lymphocyte (CD43 positive cells) infiltration, smooth muscle cell(?-actin positive cells) migration and proliferation were determined by using immunohistochemical staining and image-analysis techniques. Results Atherosclerotic plaques could be found in animals fed with hypercholesterolemic diet.Lipid deposition in plaque was significantly higher in group A (71.86%?8.3%) than those in group B (53.76%?3.72%)and group C (56.67%?9.2%). Infiltrations of macrophage[ (23.1?8.5)/0.01 mm2]and T lymphocyte[ (15.1 ? 3.8)/0.01 mm2]as well as migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cell [ (19.2?5.7)/0,01 mm2] in atherosclerotic lesions were significantly increased in animals treated with hypercholesterolemic diet and received injection of AGEs-RSA (group A) when compared with group B [macrophage (14.4? 5.9)70.01 mm2; T lymphocyte (9.1?2.6)/0.01 mm2; smooth muscle cell (12.9?3.8)/0.01 mm2]and group C[macrophage (15.4?4.4)/0.01 mm2; T lymphocyte (10.5?2.2)/0.01 mm2, smooth muscle cell (13.8?3.9)/0.01 mm2]. Neither plaque nor a cellular inflammation was found in animals fed with normal diet (group D)and in those received repeated injections of AGEs-RSA (group E). Conclusion AGEs increase cellular inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques and may accelerate formation of atherosclerosis in AGEs associated diseases.

ObjectiveTo explore the changes in gene expression in tissues of patients with gastric carcinoma by cDNA microarray.MethodsA 44,000 gene cDNA microarray (Affymetfix) was used to examine gene expression in the tissues of patients with gastric carcinoma.The Sirt1 genes were identified and subjected to realtime PCR analysis.Results The expression of Sirt1 in tissues of gastric carcinoma [(0.318 ±0.032) ～ (0.169 ±0.013 ) time] was extremely lower than in tissues of para- gastric carcinoma ( 1 time).The results of Real-time PCR were consistent with those of genechip analysis.ConclusionsThe expression of Sirt1 was obviously different between tissues of gastric carcinoma and para - gastric carcinoma.Sirt1 may be associated with carcinogenesis of HCC.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture treatment on nitrergic neurotransmitter in bladder neck and detrusor of rats with unstable bladder. METHODS: Rat models of unstable bladder were established by operation to induce urethral obstruction. Electroacupuncture treatment was given by acupuncturing Huiyang and Zhonglushu points for a week. Then the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)- and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-positive cells in bladder neck and detrusor of the rats were observed. RESULTS: The nitrergic neurotransmitter in bladder neck and detrusor were obviously decreased in rats with unstable bladder. The electroacupuncture treatment could significantly increase the contains of NOS in bladder tissue. CONCLUSION: To promote the synthesis and secretion of nitrergic neurotransmitter in bladder tissue may be one of the mechanisms of acupuncture in adjusting bladder function.
