Objective To establish models of different susceptibility of heroin-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in rats and investigate the relation between novel environmental response and heroin-dependent susceptibility. Methods After an open-field test, 70 male Sprague-Dawley rats were classified into 2 groups according to the numerical value of heroin-induced CPP, each accounting for 30%. The correlation between open-field test and CPP was analyzed. Results CPP value was much higher than pre-test scores in the rats after exposure to heroin (P<0.01). Compared with the low-CPP group, the high-CPP group had much higher scores in open-field test (P<0.01). The deviation of resident time at natural preference side tested and pre-tested had positive correlation with open-field test (P<0.05). Conclusion Heroin-induced CPP model of different susceptibilities could be successfully established by chronic heroin exposure. The novel environmental response is a reliable predictor for its vulnerability to develop heroin dependence.

Objective To assess the value of MRI imaging in diagnosis of the medial collateral ligament(MCL) injury of the knee joint.Methods MR findings of 20 cases of clinically suspected MCL injury of the knee joint were retrospectively reviewed and compared with operative findings of the knee joint.Results In 20 cases of MCL injury,there were 2 cases of gradeⅠinjury,9 gradeⅡand 9 grade Ⅲ.Taking the results of operation as standard,the accuracy of diagnosis of grade Ⅱand Ⅲ injury of the MCL was 88.9% and 100% respectively.Conclusion MRI can accurately display the MCL injury of the knee joint,it is important for the preoperative treatment planning.

Objective To investigate changes of synaptic interface structural in the hippocampus Cal in high and low conditioned place preference(CPP) rats after chronic morphine treatment.Methods The male SD rats were randomly distributed to experiment group 130 cases(intraperitoneal injected morphine twice a day for ten days in an ascending dosage schedule) and control group 30 cases(injected saline of the same volume at same time).The rats in experiment group were re-classified into high preference group(HP),middle group and low preference group(LP) according to the numerical value of the CPP.The middle group was rejected.The rats in HP and LP were scarified at the time of 3h,3d and 14d after the last injection.The hippocampus Cal were removed and prepared for electron microscope specimen.The synaptie interface structure parameter were analyzed by image processing technique.Results ①No significant difference of pretest scores staying at the non-preference chambet existed among the three groups(F=0.78,P=0.47).However,the test scores of the CPP minus the time stayed at pretest natural preference in the high group was significantly higher than that of the low group(P=0.00).②At the 3h and 3d,the PSD of the high group((15.20±-3.65)nm) was significantly lower than low group((17.63±6.61)nm,P<0.01);the synaptic cleft of high group((5.77±2.08)nm) was significantly higher than low group ((4.92±1.65)nm,P<0.05).At the 14d,the PSD of the high group((16.22±4.93)nm) was significantly lower than low group((18.42±3.78)nm,P<0.01).Conclusion In hippocampal Cal area the synaptic cleft in the HP group was higher than that of LP group,the post-synaptic density in the HP group was lower than that of LP group.These changes may be the synaptic basic of the different susceptibility.

Objective To establish the rats model of different susceptibility of heroin addiction,and to explore the possible dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) and dopamine transptor (DAT) mechanism leading to the different susceptibility. Methods 130 male SD rats were carried out CPP training,and the rats were randomly assigned into heroin exposure group (n = 100) and saline control group (SC, n = 30). Heroin exposure group were re-classified into two groups according to the numerical value of the CPP-Pre (the testing score minus that of the pretest):high preference group(HP group) and low preference group(LP group) ,each accounting for 30% of the total rats.The D2R and DAT protein expression of high and low preference group and saline control group rats were detectedwith immunohistochemical method in PFC at 30 minutes and on the 1st,3rd,7th, 14th days after the last injection(149.33 ±2.51 vs 135.83 ±1.78 vs99.33 ±2.84,141.83 ±2.50 vs 131.67 ± 1.87 vs99.17 ±3.61,132.83 ±2.40 vs 122.00 ±2.67 vs 100.33 ±4.26,125.67 ±2.22 vs 113.17 ±2.81 vs 98.33 ±3.25,116.86 ± 1.94 vs 108.63 ± 2.31 vs 98.17 ± 3.82 , respectively, P＜0.05). The D2R protein expressions of HP rats were significantly lower than those of the LP and control group rats (P ＜ 0. 05), and those of LP rat were than lower than those ferent among three groups on addiction phase and 1st,3rd days after the last injection of heroin respectively, respectively (P ＜ 0. 05). The DAT protein expressions of HP and LP rats were significantly lower than those of controlgroup rats (P＜ 0. 05). At all testing time-points, the DAT protein expressions had no significant difference betweenHP and LP group(P＞0. 05). Conclusion D2R and DAT of the rats show appears down-regulation in the PFC after chronic heroin exposure. Different individuals have different D2R sensitivity or receptor levels ,and lower D2R related to the high susceptibility to heroin. Susceptibility to heroin addiction may not be directly related to the expression of DAT.

Objective To observe the influence of long-term smoking on the expression of p53 and K-ras in rat lung tissues, and to study the relationship of smoking to the mutation of p53 and K-ras gene. Methods The model of Wistar rat smoking was built up. Seventy-two healthy male Wistar rats were divided into the experimental group and control group at random. The rats of the experimental group were compelled to smoke, and the rats of the control group were given the same condition as the experimental group was, without smoking. The rats of the experimental group were smoked for 6 months. At the end of each month, 6 rats were chosen from the two groups respectively, their lung tissues were sampled and immunohistochemistry was applied to observe the expression of p53 and K-ras in lung tissues. Finally, the mutation which might happen in the exon 5, 6, 7-8 of p53 and the exon 1 of K-ras was examined by PCR-SSCP. Results The p53 protein was expressed in cell nucleus and K-ras in cytoplasm. The positive ratio of protein expression was increased with the extension of smoking time. The mutation of p53 was increased as the smoking time extended. But the effect of smoking time was not that significant on the mutation of K-ras.Conclusion Smoking can strengthen the expression of p53 and K-ras protein and can also result in gene mutation. As the time of smoking extended, those phenomenons were tending to rise. That provided the theoretical evidence which can be used to judge the lesion of lung tissues caused by smoking and help the early diagnosis of smoking-related lung carcinomas. It is of great theoretical and application values.

Objective To investigate the effect of expressions of P53 and VEGF in smoking lung cancer and surrounding lung tissue,and to offer us with theorial evidence of early diagnosing smoking-related lung carcinoma clinically.Methods126 lung cancer patients were recruited,including 96 long-term smoking and 30 nonsmoking patients.All clinical data was integrity and the patients had clear smoking history.None of patients underwent chemotherapy,radiotherapy and other tumor treatment.The bronchial epithelium,cancer tissues,pericancer lung tissues,surrounding lung tissues were observed by light microscopy,and the expressions of P53 and VEGF of lung cancer tissues,pericancer lung tissues and surrounding lung tissues were detected by Immunohistochemical methed in smoking and non-smoking group.The experimental data was analyzed by SAS statistical software and the degree of difference between the groups was compared accordingly.ResultsThere were different levels of expansion of alveolar wall in lung tissues of smokers,and alveolar wall became capsular to expand.Respiratory bronchioles were cystic expansion and small bronchial wall becomed thickening,with severe bronchial epithelial membrane ranking nuts-chaos and peeling.Goblet cells and the cell surface of the cavity mucous secretions and suppositories were more than those of non-smokers.The P53 protein was expressed in cell nucleus and VEGF expressed in the cytoplasm and endothelial cells of neovascularization.Both their positive behavior was granular brown.Either for smoking or for non-smoking lung cancer,the expressions of P53 and VEGF were higher in tumor tissues than that of in the pericancer and surrounding lung tissue(P

Objective To explore the protective roles of Emodin in the intestinal mucosal lay of rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and its mechanism. Methods SD rats (n=30) were divided into 3 groups: sham operation group, SAP group and Emodin group (SAP rats treated with Emodin). The SAP rat models were established via retrograde injection of 3%sodium taurocholate to pancreatic duct. Rats in Emodin group were peritoneally injected with Emodin (2.5 mg/100 g) at both 1 hour and 3 hour after sodium taurocholate injection. Apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cell was detected by TUNEL analy?sis. The expression of glucose-regulated protein78 (GRP78) protein was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results Com?pared with sham operation group, apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells and the expression of GRP78 protein were increased significantly in SAP group(P<0.05). Emodin treatment reduced AP-induced mucosal intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis (P<0.05). But there is no significant difference of GRP78 expression between SAP group and Emodin group(P>0.05). Conclusion Emodin has a protective effect on intestinal layer in rats with SAP through inhibiting intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis. However, ER stress is not likely to be involved in this protective effect.

Objective:To describe a feasible surgical technique for patients with renal cell carcinoma associated with a supradiaphragmatic tumor thrombus that avoids cardiopulmonary bypass procedure. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 2 cases with right kidney tumor and tumor thrombus above the dia-phragm treated in April and August,2015.The two patients were both female,aged 73 and 67 years. The tumor sizes of right kidneys were 7.0 cm ×6.3 cm ×5.7 cm and 8.7 cm ×7.0 cm ×5.2 cm,and the tumor thrombuses were 1.3 cm and 1.8 cm above the diaphragm.The second patient had synchro-nous metastasis in right adrenal gland ,and the tumor thrombus arose from the adrenal vein but not the renal vein.Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)was used to assess real-time mobility of the thrombus.A modified chevron incision was used,the right kidney was mobilized laterally and pos-teriorly,and the renal artery was identified,ligated,and divided.The infradiaphragmatic inferior vena cava (IVC)was exposed and isolated by mobilizing the liver off the diaphragm or to the left (piggyback liver mobilization,case 2).The central diaphragm tendon was dissected or incised in the midline until the supradiaphragmatic intrapericardial IVC was identified and gently pulled beneath the diaphragm and into the abdomen.The tumor thrombus was then “milked”downward out of the intrapericardial IVC un-der the guidance of TEE.The distal and proximal IVC to the tumor thrombus,porta hepatis,and left re-nal vein were clamped.Tumor thrombus was removed from the IVC.The IVC was sutured and vascular clamps were placed below the major hepatic veins.Pringle’s maneuver was then released and hepatic blood drainage was permitted during closure of the remaining IVC.Related literature was reviewed.Re-sults:Complete resection was successful through the transabdominal approach without CBP in both pa-tients.Estimated blood loss was 1 500 mL and 2 000 mL,and 1 200 mL and 800 mL of blood were trans-fused.The postoperative courses were uneventful.Both patients subsequently underwent tyrosine-kinase inhibitor therapy.Both patients were alive without tumor recurrence or new metastasis during the follow-up of 6 months and 9 months.Conclusion:In selected cases,renal cell carcinoma extending into the IVC above the diaphragm can be resected without sternotomy,CBP or DHCA.

Objective The purpose of this study was to analyze the relation of blood glucose variability and 28-day mortality in patients with different degree sepsis. Methods From September 1, 2010 to September 30, 2012, all adult patients diagnosed with sepsis and treated at least 3 days in Emergency ICU (EICU) of the first affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University were enrolled in the study. Then the blood glucose levels and the other requisite clinical data were obtained from historical electronic medical records of patients excluding the patients reached exclusive criteria. The maximum and mean of blood glucose, and the glucose variability (the standard deviation,SD of blood glucose) in each patient were calculated. The patients were assigned according to severity of sepsis, then the relationship between SD of blood glucose and 28-day mortality was statistically assessed. Results There was an important correlation between SD of blood glucose and 28-day mortality (OR=4.237, =0.021) . The glucose variability increased with the serious of sepsis ( = 0.016) . Conclusion Glucose variability is an independent predictor of 28-day mortality in septic patients. In addition, the severity of sepsis has a positive correlation with blood glucose variability.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism for the different CPI susceptibili-ties. Methods Using a conditioned place preference (CPP) model, rats were selected into high and low preference groups. Using in situ hybridization, we examined the mRNA expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter (5-HTT) and 5 -hydroxytryptamine 1 A receptor (5-HT1 AR) in 3 cruci-al regions in addiction, namely the ventral tegmental area (VTA) , the nucleus accumbens (NAc) ,and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) , during the dependence and withdrawal. Results During dependence state, the expression of 5-HTT mRNA in each of the regions in the high preference group was significantly lower than that of the low preference group, while higher expression of 5-HT1AR mRNA in each of the regions in the high preference group than that of the low preference group was found (P<0.05). During withdrawal state, the expression of 5-HTT mRNA in each of the regions in high preference group was significantly higher than that of the low preference group, while lower expres-sion of 5-HTIAR mRNA in each of the regions in the high preference group than that of the low prefe-rence group was found (P<0.05). Conclusion 5-HTT and 5-HT1 AR may play a role in diffe-rences in susceptibility to morphine.
