Purpose To investigate the association of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) appearances and ischemia time as well as ischemia degree through both unenhanced and contrast-enhanced MSCT scans, then to investigate the value of MSCT in diagnosing acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) by comparing the MSCT findings with pathologic examinations after establishing canine's AMI model. Materials and Methods 18 healthy hybrid canines were successfully punctured into the right femoral artery through seldinger's technique and injected absolute ethanol into the distal branches of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for embolization via a 5F Cobra catheter. All experimental canines were underwent both unenhanced MSCT and enhanced CT scans no matter before nor after embolization. Every 3 canines were put to death randly each hour and ischemia bowel biopsies were examined. Results The AMI's models were suceessfully established in all 18 canines. The MSCT appearances were not same in different periods. Mesenteric stranding, bowel-wall thickening and luminal dilatation occurred in early periods and ascites, intramural gas and portal venous gas occurred lately. The contrast-enhanced degrees of abnormal bowel walls after embolization were declined than that of preoperation. The canines of three-hour to six-hour ischemia groups developed microscopic and gross changes of bowel ischemia. Conclusion MSCT can make the diagnosis of AMI accurately and the appearances of CT were gradually more variety along with the ischemia time longer. The contrast-enhanced degrees of abnormal bowel walls were negative correlation with ischemia time as well as ischemia degree.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sevoflurane on proteome in the cortices of neonatal rats.Methods Thirty neonatal rats at postnatal day 7 (6 rats each litter,5 litters in total) were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n =15 each):control group (C group) and sevoflurane group (S group).The rats were exposed to air and 1.8 % sevoflurane for 4 h in C and S groups,respectively.One rat from each litter was chosen in each group at the end of anesthesia and the puncture needle was inserted into the left ventricle via the chest wall.Arterial blood samples were then collected for blood gas analysis and for determination of blood glucose.One rat from each litter was sacrificed in each group at 3 and 72 h after the end of anesthesia,and their cortices were then dissected.Two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) was used to identify patterns of protein expression in cortices cross-labeled with different CyDyes.The differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by using matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS).Results Acid-base imbalance,anoxia or lycopenia were not found at 3 h after the end of anesthesia in both groups.The analysis showed there were 6 differentially expressed proteins at 3 h after the end of anesthesia in S group compared with C group.Among the 6 proteins,the expression of 4 proteins (class 2 c beta-tubulin,neuron-specific class Ⅲ beta-tubulin,CRMP-1 and CRMP-4) which belonged to cytoskeleton/neuronal growth proteins was down-regulated,the expression of 1 protein (ATP synthase beta subunit) which belonged to hydrolyses and transferases was down-regulated,and the expression of 1 protein (guanine nucleotide binding protein beta1) which belonged to signal transduction proteins was up-regulated (P < 0.05).No significant changes in protein expression were identified at 72 h after 1.8% sevoflurane anesthesia (P > 0.05).Conclusion 1.8% sevoflurane-induced 4 h anesthesia can induce short-time changes in the expression of proteins which are related to neuronal migration,differentiation,energy metabolism and signal transduction in cortices of neonatal rats,which may contribute to its neurodegenerative effects in brains of rats during the development period.

BACKGROUND:At present, a great quantity of research has shown the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s for vascular restenosis. However, studies concerning their combined application to restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with diabetes mel itus are presently lacking.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of combined application of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and benefiting-Qi nourishing-Yin and dissolving-congestion prescription on restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in dogs with diabetes mel itus.
METHODS:A dog model of vascular restenosis with diabetes mel itus was established by bal oon injury of femoral artery and intravenous injection of al oxan. After successful model induction, 22 dog models were randomly divided into three groups:model group (n=6), treatment with Chinese medicine (n=8), and combined treatment with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and Chinese medicine (n=8). Serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay preoperatively and at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks postoperation. Samples of vessels were taken to conduct pathomorphological observation and quantitative analysis of proliferation degree. Tissues, including heart, liver, kidney and pancreatic gland, were col ected to evaluate the safety of stem cel transplantation using hematoxylin-eosin staining at 8 weeks postoperation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels began to increase at 1 week postoperation in the Chinese medicine group and combined treatment group, at 4 weeks postoperation in the model group compared with preoperation (P<0.05). At al time points, serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels were highest in the combined treatment group, but lowest in the model group (P<0.05). Quantitative analysis of vascular proliferation demonstrated that at 8 weeks postoperation, new intimal area, new intimal/medial areas and stenosis rate were highest in the model group, but lowest in the combined treatment group at 8 weeks postoperation (P<0.05). Safety assessment of stem cel transplantation showed morphological structures of the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas were normal, no necrosis. In a word, the effects of the combined application of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and benefiting-Qi nourishing-Yin and dissolving-congestion prescription were much pronounced in preventing restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in dogs with diabetes mel itus rather than single therapy of Chinese medicine. It is a safe and effective treatment to prevent vascular restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in dogs with diabetes mel itus.
