Objective To discuss the operational technique and clinical effect of metallic stent placement in treating malignant gastroduodenal obstruction.Methods Metallic stent placement under fluoroscopic monitoring and endoscopic direct vision was performed in 47 patients with malignant gastroduodenal obstruction.A total of 54 metallic stents was used.Results The procedure was successfully completed in all 47 patients.During the follow-up period,all the patients could take liquid or ordinary diet and were markedly relived of vomiting.The living quality was much improved and no serious complications occurred.Conclusion Under fluoroscopic monitoring and endoscopic direct vision,stent placement is a safe,effective,technically-simple and time-saving procedure for the treatment of malignant gastroduodenal obstruction with less sufferings to the patient.Therefore,it is definitely worth popularizing this technique in clinical practice.

Objective To study the estradiolNGF regulatory cascade in retinal endothelial cells. Methods Retinachoroids vascular endothelial cell line RF/6A from rhesus was cultured in M199 medium contain 20% FBS.mRNA of ER,NGF and its receptors,TrkA and P75 NTR were detected with RTPCR.The cells were incubated with NGF,VEGF,antibodies against NGF or VEGF,and K252a(100nmol/L),the specific inhibitor of TrkA,separately or in different combination.MTT based cell counting assay was used to study the viability of the cells.The apoptosis was evaluated by FACS,mass migration by wound healing assay,and tubogenesis by AngioMatrix assay. Results We amplified the specific fragments of cDNA of ER,NGF and NGF receptor TrkA using RTPCR.10?nmol/L1??mol/L estradiol augments the proliferation and increases the viability of RF/6A in a dosage dependent manner.In the wound healing based migration assay,we found the similar alteration.This effects of estradiol was partially blocked by NGF neutralized antibody and K252a.Apoptosis rates were at the similar level among the groups.For the tubogenesis of RF/6A,we found no augmentation by NGF,and no blocked augmentation by estradiol.Conclusion NGF,first identified as the survival factor of nerve system,now also seemed to be an activator of retinal endothelial cell,is under the regulation of estrogen.The proliferation and migration,but not the tubogenesis of retinal endothelial cells are regulated by this regulatory cascade.

The hippocampus plays a crucial role in learning and memory, and its progressive deterioration with age is functionally linked to a variety of human neurodegenerative diseases. Yet a systematic profiling of the aging effects on various hippocampal cell types in primates is still missing. Here, we reported a variety of new aging-associated phenotypic changes of the primate hippocampus. These include, in particular, increased DNA damage and heterochromatin erosion with time, alongside loss of proteostasis and elevated inflammation. To understand their cellular and molecular causes, we established the first single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of primate hippocampal aging. Among the 12 identified cell types, neural transiently amplifying progenitor cell (TAPC) and microglia were most affected by aging. In-depth dissection of gene-expression dynamics revealed impaired TAPC division and compromised neuronal function along the neurogenesis trajectory; additionally elevated pro-inflammatory responses in the aged microglia and oligodendrocyte, as well as dysregulated coagulation pathways in the aged endothelial cells may contribute to a hostile microenvironment for neurogenesis. This rich resource for understanding primate hippocampal aging may provide potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic interventions against age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
