Objective To study the ultra-structural features of interstitial cajal cells (ICC)in fetal enteron and then classify them.Methods Ultra-structural features of ICC in fetal enteron with spontaneous abortion or premature birth were detected under JEM-2000EX transmission electron microscope for the cause of fetal death, including two fetus specimens of a gestation 18 months and 28 months stained with lead nitrate and uranium acetate.Results ICC had a big oval karyon and a little of cytoplasm. ICC formed spindle or stellate cells with 2 to 5 long cell processes . From the esophagus to the terminal ileum ICC mostly had the same ultra-structural features, but with mitochondria and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex in the whole colon and the rectum , more than those of esophagus and small intestine. In the whole colon and rectum ICC had similar ultra-structural features. ICC also possessed an abundance of mitochondria and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. ICC also possessed Caveloae lipid droplet with more electron dense and heterochromatin. Two types of ICC were identified under JEM-2000EX transmission electron microscope. One type was present from the esophagus to the terminal ileum and the other type was observed in the colon and rectum. The first type ICC in circular muscle layer was bipolar cells which extended to tapering processes in opposite directions. These processes rarely branched, and their appearance was similar to smooth muscle cells.Most of them ran parallel to the circular muscles . The second type of ICC in the myenteric plexus and longitudinal muscle layer was mostly multipolar and rarely bipolar cells with long processes. They showed an irregular appearance characterized by numerous short spike-like branches. Processes of multipolar cells extended in every direction and connected with each other. ICC nerve cells and smooth muscle cells were connected with gap-like junction, which was the main connection mode .Conclusions The ultra-structural features of ICC in fetal enteron varied with the diffe-rent locus and different tissue sheets in the enteron. The mitochondria and a well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex of the whole colon and rectum are more and more developed than that of esophagus and small intestine. Ultra-structural features of ICC will develop further with the gestational age. The gap- like junction among ICC nerve cell and smooth muscle cell are highly important for ICC to educe function.

Objective To investigate the weight,length and scale of normal children′ stools and discuss clinical signification.Met-(hods) The fresh stools of 60 normal children (male 34,female 26)were measured,classify the stools according to Bristol′s scale.Results 1.The average weight of stools in 60 cases was (109.53?52.00) g,of male was (123.79?55.87) g,of female was (90.12?(39.66)) g,there was significant difference between them (t=0.013 P0.05);3.The stools was classified into 7 group according to Bristol′s scale.From 1 grade to 6 grade were 3.30%,(5.10%),5.10%,64.40%,15.30% and 6.80%,respectively,but there was no 7 grade stools.Conclusion The weight,length and scales of normal children′s stools can be used as a sign to evaluate the clonic movement of children,especially in diagnosis and treatment of constipation and stools dryness

Objective To study the screening value of color doppler flow imaging (CDFI) for gastroesophageal reflux(GER).Methods Through the window of left lobe liver, the abdominal esophageal length,the phenomenon of GER and the frequency of GER were detected by CDFI in 55 children with GER and 55 control group.Results Abdominal esophagus was identified by CDFI in every children. The abdominal esophageal length was shorter in refluxers than that in control group. A significant correlation was found between its length and the age of control group.To diagnose GER with CDFI ,its accuracy was 98.18%,and its specificity was 76.36%.Conclusions Visualization and measurements of the abdominal esophagus are readily achieved with CDFI in children.Abdominal esophageal length is shorter in refluxers than that in control group. CDFI is a rapid method of screening GER.

Objective To study whether gastric liquid emptying is delayed in children with gastroesophageal reflux and its clinical significance. Methods At different times after meal, the gastric antral diameters were measured by real - time ultrasonography in 55 children with gastroesophageal reflux and 55 controls. Results At 20 min,60 min after meal , there was a significant difference in gastric emptying rate between case groups and control groups, respectively(P

Objective To explore a simple and efficient method for isolating and culturing mouse primordial germ cells (mPGCs) in vitro in order to provide the sufficient mPGCs sources of mouse model .Methods The 12 .5 dpc mouse embryonic gen-ital ridge were isolated in vitro and cut into pieces ,then the organization to adherent culture was performed in a-MEM medium con-taining fetal calf serum and insulin-transferrin-selenium (ITS) and follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) and recombinant endothelial growth factor(rEGF) .The inverted microscope was used to observe the cellular morphology .Flow cytometry was used to identify the stage specific embryonic antigens of cultured cells .Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and immunofluo-rescence were used to identify the pluripotency gene Oct4 expressions of stem cells and specific genes in the meiosis phaseⅠ .Results The in vitro isolated and cultured mPGCs showed good cell morphology ,extremely strong proliferation capacity and the positive expression of SSEA-1 and negative expression of SSEA-4 ,Oct4 ,meanwhile the expressions of Stra8 ,Vasa ,Scp3 ,Zp3 were detected to be positive .Conclusion Using this culture method can culture the high purity of mPGCs with the excellent stem cell properties and extremely strong proliferative ability ,moreover which makes the cells entering the meiosis stage .

BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a peptide hormone, it has been proved a promotion role on the proliferation of precursor cells. OBJECTIVE: To explore the intravenous injection of IGF-1 on the proliferation, migration and differentiation of neural stem cells in rats after cerebral ischemia. METHODS: Eight adult male SD rats were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, with 40 rats in each group. The rats in two groups were used to prepare models of focal cerebral ischemia using modified suture method, the rats in the experimental group were treated with tail vein injection of IGF-1, according to 100 μg/kg computation, the injection was given for 6 continuous days; in the control group, rats were given equal volume of saline. The rats were decapitated at 7, 14, 21, 28 days following intervention, respectively, and rats in each group were given intraperitoneal injection of the BrdU at 1 day before death. Immunohistochemistry and double staining were applied to detect the expressions of BrdU-positive cells, PSA-NCAM-positive cells, BrdU + PSA-NCAM double-positive cells, and BrdU + MAP2 double-positive cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The number of BrdU-positive cells and PSA-NCAM positive cells reached the peak at 7 days after ischemia; BrdU + PSA-NCAM double-labeled-positive cells could be detected in ischemic bilateral subependymal zone and dentate gyrus, the number was the most at 7 days, then followed by a gradual decrease; the BrdU + MAP2 double-positive cells began to increase from 14 days, and then gradually increased along with the decrease of BrdU + PSA-NCAM double-positive expression, showing a reverse trend. Intravenous injection of IGF-1 can induce the proliferation, differentiation and migration of neural stem cells in rats following ischemic brain injury.

Allergic diseases such as allergic asthma, allergic der-matitis, allergic rhinitis, are polygenic diseases, involving the interaction between the environment, genes and immunity. In the past few decades, the incidence rate of allergic diseases in-creased predominantly and influenced the quality of people's lives seriously, so looking for new targets for the prevention and treat-ment of allergic diseases and drugs with less adverse reaction be-comes a hot topic for researchers. MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that mediate nega-tively posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression by targe-ting specific mRNA sequences to inhibit the translation of mR-NAs. They are widely involved in the biological processes of cell differentiation, immune response and tumor development. The study shows that miRNAs can control the occurrence and devel-opment of allergic diseases. Studying the regulatory role of miR-NAs in allergic diseases has important implications for exploring the immunopathological mechanisms and discovering new thera-peutic targets of drugs.
