The study was proceeded on the mRNA expression of the GULT1 and GLUT4 gene in the alloxan diabetic rats by the technique of dot-blot hybridization analysis. The results showed that the levels of the GLUT4 mRNA expression were reduced in diabetic rats while increased in insulin treated diabetic rats. This suggests that the reduced GLUT4 mRNA expression which could affect the quantity of its posttranslational products may be one of the causes of the insulin resistance.

Based on experience on medical service drilling for many years,this paper analyses the hardship and complexity of medical service support in high & cold mountainous region.It also puts forward some suggestions in such aspects as integral design,focal points insurance,necessaries reinforcement,preach for popularization and mutual cure training.

Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of medical images constructs the 3D models of organs using 2D medical image serials, which provide intuitionistic visual information for medical workers. However, most people concern about the CT images reconstruction, only few people focus on the reconstruction of Ultrasound images. In this thesis, it introduces Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) and The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) firstly. Then it presents the process of Ultrasound image serials using ITK and VTK. At last, it presents the outcome of the experiment. The results show that the reconstruction of Ultrasound images can also get good effect by using ITK and VTK.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the data about endemic fluorosis, and investigate its prevalence and the effects of prevention and cure, so as to suggest more effective measures for the prevention and cure in the future. DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and VIP Chinese database was undertaken to identify articles about the distribution, monitoring and effects of prevention and cure of endemic fluorosis published in Chinese from January 1995 to March 2006 by using the keywords of "endemic fluorosis, monitor". STUDY SELECTION: Literatures about endemic fluorosis, including mainly brief introduction, practice in prevention and cure, summary of meeting, etc., the repetitive studies were excluded, and only one of them published the latest was involved. DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 25 relevant literatures were collected, and 18 of them were involved, the others were excluded. DATA SYNTHESIS: The monitoring results showed that until the end of the 2004, 44.51％ of the villages, in the drinking water type disease areas with endemic fluorosis, had executed the low-fluorine treatment of water, and 194 villages had been controlled basically; In the coal pollution type disease areas, 24 villages had been controlled basically,25.42％ of the families had reformed the stoves to prevent the coal pollution. The fluorine in water and air had been obviously declined after the improvement, some place had reached the standard of government.The morbidity rate of dental fluorosis in children of 8 to 12 years old was lower than before; The improving condition was good in most disease areas, and part of them had reached the control line; Meanwhile,the problems also existed that the measures of prevention could not befulfilled completely for the short of money, and the role of decreasing fluorine could not be acted completely because of the ill-management after the changed project.CONCLUSION: After the continuous efforts for tens of years, great progress has been obtained in the prevention and cure of endemic fluorosis,and the prevalence rates of dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis have reduced obviously, but many problems also exist at the same time. Therefore,the prevention and cure should be reinforced to restrain its prevalence more effectively.

The article introduced the recent progress of tissue-engineered trachea.The problems encountered in the field and the study direction in the future are also mentioned.

The defense mechinism of heat shock protein(HSP)acting as moleculars chaperons requires heat shock transcription factors as the primary mediators of the heat shock response.Increased expression of HSP may protect the heart.Overexpression of HSP can inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis,protect the integrity of the microtubules and the actin cytoskeleton in cardiac myocytes and endothelial cells exposed to ischemia,participate in the folding and activation of protein kinases and transcription factors such as HIF-1? and HSF1,bind to endothelial nitric oxide synthase(Enos) and stimulate its activity,and downregulate cytokine production.Hence,it is of benefit to efficiently elevate HSP expression in myocardium using pharmacological and/or gene therapy procedures without any adverse effect.
