Objective:To prepare and evaluate the effectiveness of chitosan-carboxymethylcellulose membrane in preventing postoperative intestinal adhesion.Methods: Chitosan-carboxymethylcellulose membrane was prepared with 11 ratio of chitosan and carboxymethylcellulose.Glutaraldehyde and ammonium aluminium sulfate were used for cross-linkage,glycerin for enhancing plasticity;and then the product was dried.The membrane was observed with scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and its tensile strength and breaking elongation were measured.Forty-eight SD rats with ileum injury were randomly divided into A,B and C groups(n=16).During operation,the injury in group A was treated with chitosan-carboxymethylcellulose membrane,in group B with chitosan membrane,and in group C without treatment(control group).The adhesion was observed on the 14~(th) postoperative day.Results: The tensile strength of chitosan-carboxymethylcellulose membrane was 20 MPa and the breaking elongation was 65%.SEM showed that the morphology of the membrane had crossed fibroid structures and irregular pores. The severity of adhesion in group A and B was significantly lower than that in group C(P

Objective:To investigate the effect of carboxymethylchitosan on autocrine growth factor and morphology of fibroblasts cultured in vitro,so as to discuss the possible mechanism by which carboxymethylchitosan alleviates overhealing and prevents adhesion in wound healing.Methods: Fibroblasts were cultured in vitro.Fibroblasts of passage 4-6 were treated with different concentrations of carboxymethylchitosan(0.01,0.1,1.0 and 10 mg/ml) for 4 days or with 0.1 mg/ml carboxymethylchitosan for 1,2,3, 4,5,and 6 days.The levels of autocrine transforming growth factor-?_(1 )(TGF-?_(1)) and epidermal growth factor(EGF) of fibroblasts were determined by ELISA and radioimmunoassay.The fibroblastic morphology was detected by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and microscope after fibroblasts were treated with different strategies.Results: Carboxymethylchitosan(≥0.1 mg/ml)inhibited autocrine TGF-?_(1) of fibroblast in a time-and concentration dependent manner(P0.05).Carboxymethylchitosan ((≥0.1 mg/ml))also inhibited the proliferation of fibroblasts and caused their ultrastructural changes.Conclusion: Carboxymethylchitosan (≥0.1 mg/ml)can inhibit fibroblasts proliferation and reduce tissue adhesion, possibly through altering fibroblast ultrastructure and selectively inhibiting secretion of TGF-?_(1).

Objective To establish a patient-like human ovary carcinoma/spontaneous metastasis model using orthotopic transplantation of histologically intact tumor tissue. Methods An highly metastatic ovarian tumor line (8910PM: human serum carcinoma of the ovary) previously grown substaneously was transplanted into the ovicapaule using microsurgery technique. Histologically intact human ovary tumor pieces gained from implantation site were passaged between ovicapsules for four generations. Results All mice developed ovary tumors and the metastatic rates were about 50 %. The tumors only metastasized to liver. The earliest appearance of metastasis was 14 days and the average survival period was 20.7 ±4.89 days. The microscopic appearance of the metastases was similar to the tumor observed in the substaneous xenografts and orthotopically transplanted.Chromosomes analysis exhibited the feature of human carcinoma and retained genetic stability during the processes of passage. Conclusion Orthotopic implantation provides a suitable micro-environment in which ovarian cancer can express its intrinsic clinically-relevant properties. This approach is relevant to the spontaneous development of ovarian cancer and is thought to be a useful model for studies of metastatic mechanism and therapy for ovary cancer.

Objective To assess left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM) with the aid of pulsed Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) to measure the four sides of mitral annular. Methods Thirty subjects with HCM and Twenty five age and sex matched controls were performed 2D and Doppler echocardiography . Two groups were studied with pulsed tissue Doppler imaging of the 4 sides of the mitral annulus (septal, lateral, inferior, anterior) in 4 and 2 chamber views. The velocities of systolic wave(Sa)、early diastolic filling wave (Ea)、late filling wave (Aa) and isovolumetric relaxation time were measured by DTI. Results Compared with normal control group, HCM group shows: (1) conventional data: LV wall thickness and mass indices were significantly greater. There were no significant difference in mitral flow Velocity. (2) DTI: There were more lower velocities of systolic and early diastolic filling wave. But isovolumetric relaxation time、mitra flow velocity / mitral annual early diastolic velocity ratio(E/Ea) increased. The velocities of systolic and early diastolic of septal site were the lowest among the 4 sides of the mitral annular and were the most closely with the average velocities of systolic and early diastolic of mitral annual. In addition, DTI may detect the pseudonormalization of mitral inflow. Conclusions DTI is more sensitive than conventional echocardiogram data and may be clinically used in exactly detecting left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients with HCM

Objective To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of velocity vector imaging(VVI)to assess strain and strain rate of right ventrieule(RV)during varying myocardial functional states.Methods VVI of the longitudinal RV were recorded in 7 closed-chest anesthetized mongrel dogs from the apical 4-chamber view during 3 different inotropic states.Peak dp/dt from the RV contraction during the right cardiac catheterization,which was used as the gold standard of RV contractility,was obtained simultaneously in each inotropic state.Peak systolic velocities(V), peak systolic strain rates(SR),peak systolic strains(S)at the basal, middle and apical segments of RV free wall and septal from the longitudinal axis were quantitatively measured by using VVI software system respectively.Results The peak systolic strain and strain rate of the longitudinal RV free wall and septal were increased with the infusion of dobutamine and decreased with the infusion of metoprolol.A significant correlation was found between peak RV dp/dt and RV mean strain and mean strain rate(r=0.79, 0.75;P <0.01).Among all RV segments, the peak systolic S,SR of RV basal free wall had the most significant correlation to peak dp/dt (r=0.83,0.78;P<0.01).Conclusions Strain rate imaging drived from VVI could quantitatively and sensitively detect the longitudinal RV contractile function.Peak systolic S and SR determined at the longitudinal RV basal free wall were the strong noninvasive indices of RV contractility.

Objective To investigate strain and strain rate of right ventricular(RV)based on twodimensional image by velocity vector imaging in normal subjects.Methods Thirty-two healthy adults were rolled in this study.Echocardiographic images in 4 chamber view were analyzed by conventional manual tracing for volumes and ejection fractions,which were also measured by velocity vector imaging.Myocardial velocity,strain rate,and strain were determined at the basal,mid,and apical segments of the RV free wall and ventricular septum by velocity vector imaging.Results RV ejection fractions obtained with manual tracing correlated strongly with the same indexes obtained by velocity vector imaging method in all subjects(r=0.91,P＜0.01).The strain and strain rate value of middle segment and basal segment in RV free wall were higher than those of apical segment.There were same trend in ventricular septal.The strain and strain rate of middle segment and basal segment in RV free wall were higher than those of homologous segments in ventricular septal,but the indexes of apical segment in free wail and septal had no difference.The strain and strain rate in RV were not correlated with age.Conclusions Velocity vector imaging could accurately and quantitatively assess the strain and strain rate of RV.

Autophagy plays an important role in the regulation of activation and inflammation of microglia after ischemic stroke. The interaction between autophagy of microglia and the inflammation mediated by microglia after ischemic stroke was complex and a large num-ber of molecules were involved. The receptors of microglia activation and related substances may be possible mechanism in the regulation of microglia autophagy. Autophagy inhibitors and microglia receptor targeting therapy may provide new strategies for the clinical treatment of ischemic stroke. This paper summarized the progress of microglia autophagy after ischemic stroke.
