Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2004;0(08):-
AIM: To establish the technique of precision-cut fibrotic liver slice (PCLS) and grope the optimal cultural conditions for researching the liver xenobiotic metabolism in vitro and the drug interaction. METHODS: Complex factors (higher fat diet, alcohol and CCl 4) were used to make the animal model of liver fibrosis. Fibrotic liver slices were prepared and cultivation system was established. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity and 3[4,5-Dimethythiazole-2-yl]-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction were chosen as indexes to assess the viability of the slice in different thickness, medium pH and cultural time. RESULTS: Rats were in earlier hepatic fibrosis after administration for 3 weeks. When the thickness of slices was 300 ?m and medium pH was 7.0, the LDH leakage, GST activity and MTT reduction could maintain on a steady level in 6 h. CONCLUSION: A 300 ?m of thickness, 7.0 of medium pH and 6 h of cultural time are the optimal slicing and culturing conditions for fibrotic liver slice.
3.Application of Clock Drawing Test in Differentiating Mild Cognitive Impairment from Alzheimer's Disease
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2014;(9):859-861
Objective To investigate the potential of the Clock Drawing Test (CTD) in differentiating the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods Cognitive impaired patients admitted to the outpatient and inpatient of neurological department of our hospital from October 2011 to October 2013 were reviewed. There were 65 cases with MCI and 63 cases with AD. The scores of CDT were compared between them, and the sensitivity and specificity were evaluated with Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve. Results The MCI group and AD group matched in age, gender and education. The scores of Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination and CDT were significantly defferent between the two groups. The sensitivity of 3-point CDT was 54.0% and the specificity was 80.9% in differentiating MCI and AD. Conclusion CDT is helpful to differentiate MCI from AD only in a set of assessment.

OBJECTIVE To explore the function and mechanism of the apoptosis in cochlear of mimetic aging guinea pigs treated with NGF. METHODSThe twenty-four four-month-old guinea pigs which auricle reflex were sensitive were divided randomly into three groups: A group were injected to abdominal cavity with physiological saline (2 ml/kg) ; B group were injected to abdominal cavity with 5 % D-galactose (300 mg/kg) ; C group were given 5 % D-galactose (300 mg/kg-) and NGF (1000 U/kg) respectively to abdominal cavity. Three groups had been treated two times a day for four consecutive weeks. All the guinea pigs were tested with auditory brainstem response (ABR) before the experiment and twenty-four hours after the last injection. All the guinea pigs were killed by decapitation. The cochlears were removed and fixed in different fixatives. The specimens were treated by a series of special process and the Corti organs were tested with terminal deoxynucleotidy1 transmission-mediated dUTP nick-end-labelling (TUNEL) and transmission electron microscopy respectively. RESULTS The ABR threshold of C group was apparently lower than that of B group (P
6.External ultrasonic liposuction:a report of 204 cases
Chinese Journal of Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology 2001;0(04):-
Objective To summarize the experiences of ultrasonic liposuction in 204 cases, and to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this technique. Methods The ultrasonic system (SILBERGEE E.U.A. TM ) and the liposuction equipment (HEROULES TM , American) were applied with the tumescent technique in 204 cases. Results Satisfactory rate was 90.69 %. After operation the highest sucked fat quantity was 6 800 ml, and the fewest quantity 250 ml, with an average of 1 907.6 ml for each case. Average volume of sucked fat in each position was 1 005.5 ml, which exceeded that by the traditional method. Advantages of this technique were larger fat quantity, obvious effect, less bleeding and pain, and safety. Disadvantages and complications were rough and uneven surface, accumulation of the liquid, bilateral asymmetry, slow wound healing, subcutaneous ecchymosis and hardening nodule, and even decreased blood pressure. The corresponding processing technique was recommended after liposuction. Conclusion This method is a simple and convenient, safe and reliable technique. It is suggested that multiple times and less portions of liposuction may be of benefit to patients.

Objective To explore the relationship between the associated expression of mucin MUC1、MUC2、Matrix Metalloproteinase(MMP-3)and clinicopathological parameters in colorectal adenoma and colorectal carcinoma.Methods The expression of MUC1、MUC2 and MMP-3 were detected in 20 colorectal adenomas and 60 colorectal carcinomas by immunohistochemical method.Results The positive expression rates of MUC1 、MUC2 and MMP-3 in 20 colorectal adenomas and 60 colorectal carcinomas were 10% 、46.7%(P=0.013);100%、58.3%(P=0.000);10%、41.7%(P=0.031)respectively.The expression of mucin MUC1 was negative correlated to the degree of differentiation(P=0.006),but positively correlated to the depth of invasion(P=0.004),lymph node metastasis(P=0.010),Dukes staging(P=0.033)and negafively correlated with proghosis.Mucin MUC2 expression was unrelated to differentiation(P=0.143),but negative correlated to the depth of invasion(P=0.016),lymph node metastasis(P=0.002).Dukes staging(P=0.005)and posifively correlated with survival period.The positive expression of MMP-3 was positively correlated to lymph node metastasis(P=0.002),but negatively correlated to prognosis.Associated detection of MUC1 、MUC2 and MMP-3 showed that MUC1 was negatively correlated to MUC2,MUC2+MUC1-gave the best prognosis,while MUC1+MUC2-gave the worst prognosis.Conclusions The up-regulation of MUC1、MMP-3 expression or down-regulation of MUC2 expression may be involved in carcinogenesis,progression,invasion and metastasis.And it is very important to predict the prognosis in colorectal carcinomas.

Objective To analyze the MRI findings of spinal intramedullary tuberculomas and the related literature was reviewed. Methods A retrospective study of 5 patients with intramedullary tuberculoma proved by clinical and radiological evidences was undertaken.Both T1-and T2-weighted images were obtained along with the postcontrast T1 WI.The locations,signal intensities,patterns of enhancement and morphology of the tuberculomas were observed.Results A tuberculoma in one patient was found in cervical spinal cord with slight hypointensity and nodular enhancement on T1 WI and hypointensity on T2 WI.Those in three patients were found in inferior thoracic spinal cord with typical “target sign”on T2 WI and rim-enhancement on postcontrast T1 WI,and the tuberculomas were ovoid along the long axis of spinal cord on sagittal images.A miliary tuberculoma in thoracic spinal cord in one of these three patients was found which could not be showed on plain MRI.The tuberculomas in last patient was located in conus terminalis with hypointensity and rim enhancement on T1 WI and hypointensity on T2 WI.Conclusion The MRI findings of spinal intramedullary tuberculoma are variable,and their characteristic manifestations include hypointensity or “target sign”on T2 WI,rim enhancement on postcontrast T1 WI along the long axis of spinal cord.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture and Chinese medication in improving the quality of life in post-menopausal women.MethodThe menopause Rating Scale (MRS) was adopted to evaluate the quality of life in post-menopausal women. Thirty post-menopausal women of MRS≥20 were randomized into an acupuncture group and a Chinese medication group to respectively receive 4-week treatment. They were scored again by using MRS at the end of intervention and during the follow-up study to compare with the pre-treatment scores.ResultThe decrease of MRS score was more significant in the acupuncture group than that in the Chinese medication group, and the intra-group comparisons between pre-treatment and post-treatment scores showed significant differences (P<0.001), and the intra-group comparisons also showed differences between pre-treatment and follow-up results (P<0.05).ConclusionThe effect of acupuncture in improving the quality of life in post-menopausal women is more significant than that of Chinese medication.
