The dynamic changes of the contents of polyamines and excitatory amino acid in the hippocampus during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion were observed in rats.It was found that the content of putrescine was increased and the release of excitatory amino acid elevated during reperfusion,and the increase of putrescine could be stopped when the antagonist of NM-DA receptor of excitatory amino acid,that is,MK-801,was administered.These facts suggest that the metabolic disturbance of polyamines in closely related to the release of excitatory amino acid and modulated by NMDA receptors.The combination of polyamines with excitatory amino acid may play an important role in the ischemic damage of the brain.

Objective To inquire into the forward clinical results of ventricular pacing, dual-chamber sensing, atrial-triggered, and ventricular-inhibited (VDD) Pacemaker in an unipolar lead.Methods 16 patients with the pacemaker were studied from 1993 to 2002, including 12 male patients and 4 female patients at 49 to 75 years old (average age 64 4 7 8 years old). They were in normal sinus rhythmia with complete or high degree atrial-ventricular block. Lead electrode was inserted through subclavian venous access, and the pacemaker was implanted in the same side as the electrode.Results All patients were followed up from 1 to 112 months (average 68 8 6 3 months) after pacemaker implantation. Their heart functions were improved, symptoms disappeared, life quality remarkably improved. Atrial sensing of VDD was good. One patient was died from coronary heart disease with heart failure by following up for 42 months, but the rest were healthy. Conclusions VDD pacemaker implantation was simple, easy to perform if its indication was appropriate. It could alleviate patients symptom and its therapy was effective. We should think highly of using VDD pacemaker, especially at poor region.

In recent years, along with the in-depth research of Y-STRs, a lot of new loci are found and applied in forensic medicines. To solve some questions, the International Society of Forensic Genetics have published two guidance and recommendations successively concerning the Y-STRs in 2001 and 2005, which clarify contents regarding the term, the nomenclature principle of loci and alleles and the population genetics et al of Y-STRs. This report mainly describes the nomenclature principle of loci and alleles of Y-STRs.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the disease activity and the serum levels of anti-nuclear autoantibodies against various nuclear components in the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Two hundred and twenty five SLE patients enrolled from 2000 to 2002 were evaluated retrospectively. All patients fulfilled the ACR 1997 diagnostic criteria for SLE. The patients were divided into three groups according to the disease activity: mild group (Group A), moderate group (Group B)and severe group (Group C), as assessed with SLEDAI score. These cases were also divided into 2 groups according to the serum levels of anti-dsDNA antibody. 52 out of 225 patients were followed up further. Results ①There was no correlation between the serum level of anti-dsDNA antibody and SLEDAI score, and between the serum level of ANA and SLEDAI score in 225 patients. ②The serum level of anti-dsDNA antibody in group C was higher than that in group A or group B (P 0.05). Conclusions A positive correlation between the anti-dsDNA antibody and the disease activity was found in the severe group of SLE, but not found in the mild or moderate group. Although the renal damage was more commonly seen in those with higher level of anti-dsDNA antibody, but there is no correlation between the level of anti-dsDNA antibody and the degree of renal lesion.

Patients with ischemic stroke is often accompanied by inflammtory response. Studies have suggested that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has induced the occurrence,development and of ischemic stroke and secondary brain injury. This article reviews the toil-like receptor 4 signal transduction pathway and its roles in ischemic stroke in order to provide certain basis for the development of TLR4-targeted medication.

Objective To study the excitability gastrointestinal hormone MTL and inhibitory gastrointestinal hormone SEC expression in the intestinal congestion and the effects of Salvia miltior-rhiza pretreatment at different time limits in 45min of rat hepatic ischemia-reperfusion to explore its possible mechanism and significance. Methods 80 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal control group(CO group), sham-operated group(SO group), injury group(IR group), salvia miltior-rhiza pretreatment group(SM group). Non-invasive artery clamp was used to clip then slacken the he-patic pedicle to produce animal model of ischemia-reperfusion. The clamp time was 45 min. The rats in Salvia miltiorrhiza pretreatment group were injected 40 ml/kg saline with 6 g/kg Salvia Miltiorrhiza from caudal vein 30 min before clamping hepatic pedicle. While in the sham-operated group, the porta hepatis was dissected after laparotomy and hepatic pedicle not clamped. The upper jejunums at differ-ent reperfusion time phases (0 h, 3 h, 12 h, 24 h, 72 h) were made into specimens respectively, and then MTL and SEC immunohistochemical measurement were conducted. Results At 0 min of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion digestive tract congestion, the MTL expression of upper jejunum went down,SEC expression of upper jejunum went up. With the reperfusion time extending, the MTL expression also descended to minimum at 24 h, but SEC expression increased to reach the peak at 24 h. The ex-pression of these 2 hormones gradually returned to normal at 72h. The MTL expression of Salvia milt-iorrhiza pretreatment group was higher, SEC expression of SM group were lower than the IR group in each time phase of reperfusion. Conclusion The intestinal congestive injury caused by liver ischemia can down-regulate the excitability of gastrointestinal hormone MTL and up-regulate the gastrointesti-nal inhibitory gastrointestinal hormone SEC expression at reperfusion to inhibit gastrointestinal motili-ty. Salvia miltiorrhiza preconditioning can partly weaken the descending of jejunal MTL and increasing of the jejunal SEC expression, which may contribute to the early recovery of gastrointestinal motility.
