Objective To evaluate the nutrition status and the prognosis of acute stroke patients with hy-pothyroidism during hospitalization. Methods The clinical data of 28 acute stroke patients with hypothyroidism (study group) and 28 stroke patients with normal thyroid function (control group) were retrospectively analyzed.Results After (10±4) days of hospitalization, hemoglobin and serum albumin levels in study group significantlydecreased ( P < 0. 05 ). The requirement of calories and protein, incidence of pulmonary infections, alimentarytract hemorrhage and diarrhea, and hospital stays were significantly higher in study group than in control group (P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion The nutrition status is poor in acute stroke patients with hypothyroidism, who were more easier to be suffered from clinical complications and worse prognosis.

The expression of cytoren C in cytoplasm at corresponding times in IR group were 0. 040±0. 006 (repeffusion 3 h), 0. 076±0. 009 (reperfusion 6 h), 0. 108±0. 005 (reperfusion 12 h), 0. 089±0. 008 (reperfusion 24 h), respectively. The expression of caspase-9 at corresponding times in IR group were 0. 042±0. 003 ( reperfusion 3 h), 0. 086±0. 007 ( reperfusion 6 h ), 0. 142±0. 006 ( reperfusion 12 h), 0. 112±0. 009 ( reperfusion 24 h), respectively.

They were significantly lower than that in IR group, but more than that in normal group(P＜0. 05). The expression of GRP78 at corresponding times in the treatment group were 0. 158±0.012 (repeffusion 3 h), 0. 175±0. 005 (reperfusion 6 h), 0. 125±0. 013 (reperfusion 12 h), 0. 079±0. 004 (reperfusion 24 h), respectively.

They were significantly lower than that in IR group, but higher than that in normal group(P＜0. 05). Conclusions Fetal rat cerebral neuron apoptosis following intrauterine distress is associated with the action of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrium. Up-regulation of GRP78 induced by 2DG counteracts primary cellular damage caused by endoplasmic reticulum stress. 2DG plays a protective role for fetal rat cerebral neuron following intrauterine distress.

Background The retinal degeneration 11 (rd11) mouse is a newly discovered naturally occurring recessive animal model with lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (Lpcatl) mutation.Previous studies showed that the photoreceptor cells are characterized by typical rod-cone degeneration pattern in rd1 1 mice,while cone degeneration pattern in rd11 mice is unclcar.Objective Using immunofluorescence staining techniques with retinal wholemount,we aim to clarify the degeneration patterns of cone-function related M-opsin or S-opsin in different ages of rd1 1 mice.Methods A total of thirty rd1 1 and C57BL/6J mice at postnatal (P) day 14,28,42 (five in each age group) were sacrificed and retinal wholemounts were prepared.Immunohistochemistry was performed to identify the expression of M-opsin or S-opsin in retinal wholemounts,which were photographed with a fluorescent microscope.Cone opsins were compared between rd1 1 retinas and age-matched normal C57BL/6J retinas by manually counting the opsin positive cone cells in different quadrants of the retinas.Results The number of M-opsin or S-opsin positive fluorescent dots in each quadrant was similar at all ages of normal C57BL/6J retina.M-opsin positive fluorescent dots in dorsal/temporal,ventral/temporal,dorsal/nasal and ventral/nasal quadrants of rdl 1 retina at P28 were (414±32),(300± 8),(324 ± 22) and (250± 20)/0.037 mm2,which were lower than the age-matched normal C57BL/6J mice (t =4.114,15.225,7.505,17.990,all at P＜0.05).At the same time the S-opsin positive fluorescent dots in P28 rd11 were (8 ±4),(175 ± 16),(74 ± 13) and (315 ±20)/0.037 mm2,with significant decrease in comparison with those in the age-matched normal C57BL/6J mice (t =8.555,17.076,21.637,13.498,all at P＜0.05).With the development of retinal degeneration in rd11 mice,the M-opsin degeneration spread from central to ventral,nasal and then to temporal and dorsal peripheral retina;and the S-opsin loss started from dorsal/temporal to ventral/nasal retina.Conclusions Most of the M-opsin and S-opsins,especially the S-opsins in rd11 mice,degenerate in 6 weeks.Retinal wholemount and cone opsin immunofluorescent staining provide a useful tool to show the cone degeneration pattern and to evaluate the therapeutic efficiency in ongoing gene therapy study.

Objective To verify the application of anterior segment perfusion culture and trabecular meshwork (TM) organ culture for glaucoma study. Methods TM tissue was cultured by perfused anterior segment and TM organ culture, light microscopy was used to observe the TM cells and intercellular spaces.Results IOP of the porcine anterior segments perfused under constant flow at 0.1 mL/h could bekept in normal range(10～12 mmHg). The IOP was elevated with the increasing of perfusion rate, while the morphology and structure of the tissue were well preserved. TM cultured by TM organ culture could also reserve the tissues well, but the intercelluar spaces collapsed. Conclusion Anterior segment perfusion model could be a short-term high-pressure model and may simulate the normal physical state. Adequate perfusion was necessary for normal TM.

Objective To evaluate the incidence of asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS) in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) who was admitted for revascularization.Methods 229 PAOD patients were evaluated by carotid ultrasound preoperatively and divided into severe ACS group (ACS ≥ 70％) and non severe ACS group (ACS ＜ 70％).The clinical characteristics and associated risk factors of the two groups were analyzed.Results The incidence of severe ACS was 19.7％,age,blood pressure,total cholesterol and fibrinogen levels in severe ACS group were significantly higher than those in non-severe ACS group (P ＜ 0.05),the more severe the symptoms of PAOD are,the higher is the incidence of severe ACS.Age,hypertension and hypercholesterolemia were all predictors of severe ACS.Conclusions The severity of PAOD is positively correlated with the incidence of severe ACS.Age,hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are independent risk factors for severe ACS.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided double-tract percutaneous cholecystostomy combined with choledochoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy for the elderly patients with acute calculous cholecystitis.Methods The clinical data of 35 elderly patients with cholecystolithiasis who were admitted to the General Hospital of Chengdu Military Command from January 2012 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.All the 35 patients received ultrasound-guided double-tract percutaneous drainage,and then received choledochoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy.The long-term oral use of anti-inflammatory and cholagogue medications after operation reduced recurrence of cholecystolithiasis.All the patients were followed up by telephone interview and outpatient examination till June 30,2014.Results All the 35 patients undergoing successfully the ultrasound-guided double-tract percutaneous cholecystostomy.Of the 35 patients,1 patient with the puncture bleeding was cured successfully by symptomatic treatment,1 patient was treated by cholecystectomy due to the unformed sinus tract under costal margin,and other 34 patients underwent successfully cholecystolithotomy.The follow-up was carried out for 4 to 24 months and 1 patient was diagnosed as with recurrence of cholecystolithiasic.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided double-tract percutaneous cholecystostomy combined with choledochoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy for elderly patients with acute calculous cholecystitis is safe and feasible,with an advantage of promotional value.
