Since 1960s,total parental nutrition(TPN) has had a great development,while complications after long term of TPN has also been recognized.This article reviews intestinal permeability changes after TPN,its possible mechanism and some recent research progresses.

Objective To study the mechanism of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and discuss its clinical significance in the treatment of mid-late stage liver cancer. Methods The patients with mid-late stage liver cancer were treated with HIFU. The changes of photography, pathology and immunology after operation were evaluated. Results It was shown that the results of the photographic, pathologic and immunologic examinations changed during the treatment of the patients with HIFU. Conclusion HIFU is effective and safe for the treatment of mid-late stage liver cancer.

Objective [WT5”BZ] To evaluate the effects of glycyl glutamine (Gly Gln) on the small intestinal graft. [WT5”HZ]Methods [WT5”BZ] Ten outbrid pigs undergoing small bowel autotransplantation were randomly divided into 2 groups. In STPN group, the animals received standard TPN devoid of Gly Gln,and in GTPN group,the animals received isonitrogenous (0 3?g?kg -1 ?d -1 )and isocaloric (nonprotein calory:137 9?kJ?kg -1 ?d -1 ) TPN with 2% Gly Gln.Animals were fed for 28 days. [WT5”HZ]Results [WT5”BZ] At the end of TPN,the mucosal contents of Gln (1 14?0 20)??mol/g tissue wet weight, protein (101?22)?mg/g and the villous contents of DNA (3 84?0 39) and RNA (3 31?0 14),the graft villous height (308?52) ?m, surface area (0 154?0 019) mm 2 and mucosal thickness(665?72) ?m were significantly higher in the GTPN group than that in STPN group ( P

Objective To observe expression changes of the telomeric repeat binding factor 2 (TRF2) in mouse cortical neurons during aging and its biological significance.Methods TRF2 expression in cortical neurons of young (2 months) and old (20 months) C57BL/6J mice were tested by Western blot and real time PCR.pcDNA-TRF2 was transfected in embryonal cortical neurons.Neurons viability was determined by MTT after exposure to camptothecin for 16 h.Results TRF2 expression decreased significantly in cortical neurons in old mice than that in young mice.After exposure to camptothecin for 16 h,(75.4±2.6) ％ of pcDNA TRF2 transfected neurons were viable and the transfection rate was higher in pcDNA-TRF2 transfected neurons than in control transfected neurons [(32.6 ± 9.3) ％] (t =22.85,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions TRF2 expression decreases significantly in aging mouse,downregulation of TRF2 may participate in neurons aging,and TRF2 overexpression may be a potential therapeutic target against neurodegeneration.

Objective:To investigate the expressive characters and their significance by detecting the expressions of HBsAg,Fas and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) in both hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and their surrounding non-cancerous tissues.The correlation between HBV infection and HCC,and the possible mechanism of hepatocellular carcinogenesis were discussed.Methods:HBsAg,Fas and PCNA were detected by immunohistochemistry from 52 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma as well as 42 corresponding non-cancerous tissues.Clinical data suchas serum AFP levels was also analysed.Results:Both HBsAg and Fas were strongly expressed in non-cancerous tissues,with positive rate of each achieving 78.6%.However their expression rates in cancer tissues were 21.2% and 30.8% respectively,significantly lower and less intensive than that of their corresponding non-cancerous ones(P

Objective To explore the DNA-protein crosslink(DPC) induced by formaldehyde(FA) and the repair.Methods Three-month-old Wistar male rats were used as the experimental animals and exposed to gaseous FA at the doses of 0,0.5,1.0,3.0 mg/m3 respectively through continuous inhalation for 72 h.The cellular suspension of the lungs and kidneys was exposed to FA at the doses of 0,25,50,100,150 and 200 ?mol/L respectively for 1 h.The KCl-SDS assay was used to detect the coefficient of DPC in the lung and renal cells.The repair at 0,6,12,18 and 24 h exposure points was determined in the exposure test of 3.0 mg/m3 for 72 h in vivo and 75 ?mol/L for 1 h in vitro.Results Higher gaseous FA(≥1.0 mg/m3) could significantly cause DPC(P

Objective To describe the prevalence and distribution of anxiety disorders among people aged 18～65 yrs in Liaoning Province. Methods 15 518 subjects in 7 200 families aged 18～65 yrs were randomly selected from 3 cities and 3 counties by multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling.They were assessed for DSMⅢ-R diagnoses by face to face interview with Composite International Diagnostic Interview(CIDI-1.0). Results There were 13 359 subjects had finished the survey,and the response rate was 86.09%.The 2-week,12-month and lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders were 2.22%,4.60% and 7.21% regulated by Liaoning provincial population in 2000,and1.91%,3.97%and6.32% regulated by countrywide population in 2000.The major disorders were specific phobia and agoraphobia,and their lifetime prevalence were 3.80% and 3.04%,respectively.The people with higher prevalence were females,aged 25~55,with lower educational and economic level. Conclusion Anxiety disorders become a serious public health problem in Liaoning province.Prevention measures should be taken among people with high risk.

Objective To investigate the effect of high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU) on the immunity of patients with advanced primary liver cancer(PLC).Methods Forty cases of PLC admitted to our institution from Mar.2003 to Dec.2003 were included in this study.Patients were divided into 2 groups and received either HIFU or radio-frequency ablation(RFA) treatment randomly.CD3,CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8,NK,IL-2,TNF were chosen to assess the immune status before and after treatment.The results were compared statistically.(Results The) survival rate after HIFU was 80.0%,61.1%,42.9%,33.3% at 3 months,6 months,9 months and 1 year respectively,which was similar to that after RFA treatment.The changes of immunity parameters of CD3,CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8,NK,IL-2 and TNF were not significant after HIFU treatment.In addition,the differences of those parameters between HIFU group and RFA group were insignificant.Conclusion There are no detrimental effects on immunity in the early period after HIFU treatment.
