ObjectiveTo explore the effect of intermedin pretreatment on repair and regeneration process of renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury.Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham group,IR group,empty plasmid group and IMD group.One week after removing the right kidney,eukaryotic expression vector encoding rat IMD gene was transfected into the left kidney using an ultrasound-microbubble-mediated system,and transfection effect was detected by Western blotting and RT-PCR.After successful transfection,renal IR injury model was induced by clamping left renal arteries for 45 minutes followed by reperfusion.BUN and Scr were tested.Renal pathology was observed by PAS and HE staining.The proliferation of tubular epithelial cells was detected by SABC immunohistochemical method.Results (1)The expression of IMD protein and mRNA in IMD group was significantly up-regulated compared to empty plasmid group(P＜0.05),reaching the peak at day 7,and the difference was not significant with that at day 4.(2)Compared with sham group,BUN and Scr were obviously increased at day 1and 2 in IR group(P＜0.05).However,compared with IR group,BUN and Scr in IMD group decreased obviously(P＜0.05).Differences between IR group and empty plasmid group were not significant(P＞0.05).(3)Kidney tubules in IR group,IMD group and empty plasmid group were injuryed,but the injury in IMD group was less serious compared with that in IR group and empty plasmid group.The injury in three groups was the most severe at day 2 after reperfusion.(4)The number of PCNA positive cells evidently increased at day 7 in IR group and empty plasmid group,but the number of PCNA positive cell evidently increased at day 3 in IMD group.Compared with IR group 1 to 4 days after perfusion,PCNA positive cells in IMD group increased obviously (P＜0.05).Compared with IR group day 7,PCNA expression in IMD group 7 d was obviously decreased(P＜ 0.05).Conclusion IMD pretreatment can induce tubular epithelial cells proliferative and accelerate the repair and regeneration progress in IR injury kidneys.

Objective To study the pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, surgical treatment and preventive measures of esophagogastric-arterial fistula following resection for carcinoma of the esophagus and cardia. Methods The clinical data of 18 patients with esophagogastric-arterial fistula were retrospective analyzed. Results There were 14 patients of esophageal carcinoma and 4 patients of cardiac carcinoma.7 patients had supra-aortic esophagogastric anastomosis(2 near the apex of pleura) and 11 had anastomosis under the aortic arch. Fatal hemorrhage occurred postoperatively from 11 to 93 days. The interval between hemorrhage and death varied from being instant to 18 days.All patients died. Conclusion The surgical treatment provide an opportunity for those patients. Successful management is possible if early diagnosis is made and prompt surgical management is undertaken. Preventive measures of peptic ulcer and esophageal fistula can decrease occurrence of this complication.

Four anthropometric-measurements (weight, height, head ciroumference and chest circumference) of 38342 children aged from birth to 12 years in PLA were made. The results showed that the growth and development of military children conform to the general laws of physicl development of children. The mean weight, head ciroumference and chest ciroumference by age of children aged from birth to 7 years in PLA were higher than that in the nine cities.

Single factor analysis of intelligence test of children aged from birth to 12 years in PLA was made. Results showed that the dangerous factors in mental development included twins, low birth weight neonate, premature neonate, severe asphyxia, encephalitis and medium or severe cranium trauma. On the other hand, many factors (single child in family, comfortable family, better educated raiser and the mother's child-bearing age from 25 to 35 years) could promote mental development. It is indicated that children mental health care were closely related to birth control, perinatal health care and improving economical and culture quality of our country.
