Objectives:To investigate the effect of early enteral feeding on intestinal mucous energy systhesis in burned rats. Mothods:Wistar rats with 30% total body surface area Ⅲ degree burns were randomly divided into 3 groups:early feeding(EF) group,delayed feeding(DF) group,control group.The ATP,ADP,AMP of intestinal mucosa were detected by HPLC and energy charge were calculated according to formula. Results:The contents of ATP,ADP and energy charge in both experimental groups were all fluctuated at much lower level than those in control group,and the above indices exhibited significant decrease in DF group as compared with EF group at all time points except post burned 6 h.On the contrary,the contents of AMP increased more significantly in DF group than in EF group. Conclusions:Early feeding could increase the energy storage and alleviate the catabolism of energy rich phosphates of intestinal mucosa.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a common cancer in hepatobiliary system .Because CCA is in sensitive to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy ,the current treatment is mainly depending on the surgical operation when diagnosed early .Tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis inducing ligand ( TRAIL) plays a key role in the process of controlling cell proliferation by binding with its receptor and therefore mediated cell apoptosis . Although the characteristic of selectively killing tumor cells by TRAIL makes it become the new direction of clini -cal treatment of cancer ,the condition that CCA cells are resistant to TRAIL mediated apoptosis restricts its scope of application.Nowadays many studies demonstrate that multiple signaling pathways can regulate the sensitive of CCA cells to TRAIL mediated apoptosis .In this review,we summarize the expression and effects of TRAIL and its receptor in CCA , and conclude the mechanism of multiple pathways restoring the sensitivity of CCA cells to TRAIL mediated apoptosis .

Objective To study the changes of the thyroid hormones leval of human fetus and newborans Methods More than 71 cases of medically indicated cordocentesis have been done in 16 36 gestational weeks in our hospital during last three years. Among them, 71 fetus who were free of diseases and their maternal thyroid function were normal were included into the study group. The blood samples were sent to analysis of thyroxine (T 4), triiodothyroxine (T 3), free thyroxine (FT 4), free triiodothyroxine (FT 3) and thyrotropin (TSH). 140 umbilical cord blood samples taken at the time of term delivery were sent to analysis of FT 4,FT 3 and TSH as a control. Normal range of different gestational weeks was calculated. Statistical analysis was done for the changes of all these thyroid hormones before 28 weeks and after Results All the thyroid hormones can be detected in 16 weeks of pregnancy,FT 4 already reaches the top level of adults (5.8?2.6) pmol/L and will continually increase with the increase of gestational age. There was a parallel increment of all the fetal thyroid hormone concentrations with the gestational age. The concentrations of T 4,T 3 and FT 4 have a rapidly increase after 28 weeks and have a statistically significant difference from (2.8 ?1.8) nmol/L, (37.2?27.2) nmol/L and (10.6?3.1) pmol/L,respectively to (5.8?2.6) nmol/L, (55.9?33.3) nmol/L,( 13.0?4.5) pmol/L, respectively. TSH level of fetus was increased gradually along the gestation, reaching the up level of the adults at the 20 weeks and peaking at the birth time. While the T 3 and FT 3 keep in a lower level in gestation Conclusions Fetal thyroid hormones increase with the gestational age.The diagnosis of congenital fetal thyroid hormone malfunction in the second half of the pregnancy should be monitored mainly by the T 4, FT 4 and TSH levels in different gestational age. For this consideration, to set up a reliable data for normal human fetus thyroid hormone concentrations is a very important and essential step to provide a practical guide for doctors to do intra uterine diagnosis and treatment of associated high risk groups. The peaking level of TSH at the birth time will surely company the changing of other thyroid hormones, so it might not be the best time to screening the congenital thyroid malfunction at the 72 hours after birth.
