Objective To investigate the relationship between muscarinic receptor subtypes and detrusor hyperreflexia. Methods Spinal cord was transected in male Wistar rats at L 1～2 level, changes of urodynamics were monitored 3 weeks later by cystometric studies.Spontaneous contraction frequency and strength of detrusor strip mustarded by carbachol (muscarinic receptor agonist), atropine (nonselective M antagonist), methoctramin (M 2 receptor selected antagonist) and 4 DAMP (M 3 receptor selected antagonist) were measured. Results Bladders after SCI showed littler capacity, lower compliance and hyperreflexia. Detrusor of all groups contracted at a definite tension. The contraction frequency in the hyperreflexia group (4.797?0.257 times/min) was higher than in the control's(3.227?0.173 times/min).There were no obvious changes while detrusor strips were mustarded by different muscarinic receptor antagonists.Carbachol could increase detrusor contraction frequency( 6.316 ?0.409 times/min) and the effect could be blocked by atropine(5.304?0.095 times/min) and 4 DAMP(5.046?0.089 times/min). Conclusions Detrusor is a rythmatic tissue at a difinite tension.Excitability rise of detrusor is the main cause of hyperrefexia. M 3 receptor can enhance the excitability of detrusor causing direct contraction.The function of M 2 receptor is still unclear.

AIM: To observe the morphologic characters and the expression of vimentin on human lens epithelial cells (hLECs)cultured on laminin and fibronectin.METHODS: The primarily and secondarily hLECs were cultured on plates treated with laminin or fibronectin. The feature of hLECS was observed and recorded using an inverse microscope with digital camera and statistical analysis was applied. MTT assay was used to show the growth curve of subcultured cells (the 3rd passage). Immunofluorescent staining was used to demonstrate the morphologic change in vimentin expression in the 3rd passaged hLECs.RESULTS: The hLECs in laminin or fibronectin group grew out significant earlier than the untreated group. The cells could be subcultured fluendly in those two treated groups,while only a few survival cells were found in the untreated group. But the hLECs could undergo apoptosis in laminin group at the terminal phase of their life cycle, while lentoid bodies emerged in fibronectin treated group. There were more viable cells in the fibronectin group from the 4th to the 7th day by MTT reaction. Immunofluorescent staining showed a clear morphological difference between the two groups.CONCLUSION: Laminin provide a suitable growth microenvironment for the hLECs while fibronectin promotes the cells proliferation and differentiation.

Objective To observe and evaluate the application of case-based learning in occupational health teaching of clinical medicine students.Methods Seven-year undergraduates majored in clinical medicine were selected as study subjects,divided into two groups,and received case-based learning(55 persons,story case for theory course,field case for experiment course)and traditional teaching(56 persons,theoretical instruction for theory course,instructional video for experiment course),respectively.T test and x2 test were used to analyze and compare students' after-school evaluation results and the questionnaire survey results of both groups respectively.Results The total score of the after-school evaluation[(11.84 ± 2.86) vs.(9.80 ± 3.39),t=-3.419],basic cognitive ability score[(4.80 ± 1.08) vs.(4.05 ± 1.43),t=-3.097] and analyzing ability score[(7.04 ±2.21) vs.(5.75 ± 2.59),t=-2.813] of students in the case-based learning group were significantly higher than those of the students in the traditional teaching group(P＜0.05).Questionnaire survey showed that the number and proportion of case teaching group of students held a positive attitude towards the teaching methods used in improving students' ability to analyze problems(x2=4.757),increasing study interest (x2=4.371),promoting knowledge mastery (x2=4.276) is higher than traditional teaching group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Case-based learning can inspire students' learning initiative,improve their creative ability to use knowledge,analyze and solve practical problems,so as to promote the course scores.

AIM: To investigate the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on protein and mRNA expression of macrophage inflammatory protein-1? (MIP-1?) in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs). METHODS: HUVECs were cultured with AGEs at different concentrations for 24 h and at a concentration of 400 mg/L for different time.The levels of mRNA and protein expression of MIP-1? in cultured HUVEC were detected by in situ hybridization and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: In situ hybridization showed that after exposure of HUVECs to AGEs at different concentrations (100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 400 mg/L) for 24 h, the average integrated optical density values (18.76?3.17, 26.58?1.61, 34.23?2.25) of MIP-1? mRNA expression in HUVECs were higher than that in control group (13.83?1.24, P

ABSTRACT:Objective To explore cardiac function and myocardial collagen type I in diet-induced insulin-resistant rats and the effect of telmisartan on cardiac diastolic function in diet-induced insulin-resistant rats. Methods We randomized 27 Wistar rats into control group (n = 9 ),high-fat group (n = 9 ),and telmisartan treatment group (n = 9 ).At the end of the study,left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP)and left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP)of the rats and ± dp/dt were detected by carotid artery intubation.Masson cardiac staining was used to observe cardiac fibrosis,and collagen volume fraction (CVF)was measured.ELISA method was used to detect the concentration of plasma PICP and ICTP.Results Compared with the control group,in high-fat group LVEDP was significantly higher and -dP/dtmax decreased significantly (P < 0.01 );the plasma PICP level and the ratio of PICP/ICTP were significantly increased (P <0.01),cardiac collagen volume
fraction was significantly higher (P <0.01).After 22 weeks’telmisartan intervention,compared with the high-fat group,LVEDP and LVSP were significantly decreased (P < 0.01 ),but -dP/dtmax significantly increased (P <0.05).The level of the plasma PICP and PICP/ICTP were significantly decreased (P < 0.05 );left ventricular myocardial tissue collagen volume fraction content was decreased (P <0.01).The correlation analysis showed that cardiac collagen volume fraction in insulin-resistant group was positively correlated with insulin resistance index but negatively correlated with -dp/dtmax (P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Insulin resistance promoted the synthesis of myocardial type I collagen,leading to increased myocardial collagen deposition and decreased cardiac diastolic function.Telmisartan may improve diastolic function partly by improving insulin resistance and reducing the deposition of myocardial collagen type I.

Objective To study the microsurgical and anatomic structures of brachial plexus roots and vertebral canal to find the best approaches for reimplantation of avulsed brachial plexus ventral roots into the spinal cord.Methods On nineteen cervicothoracic spine specimens,the brachial plexus nerves were exposed along to intervertebral foramen,and the spinal cord and brachial plexus roots were exposed by excising the vertebral arch and sectioning the spinal dura mater.The anatomy of brachial plexus roots and vertebrae,and the relative positions of spinal cord segments to vertebral discs were measured and observed.Results The relative positions of spinal cord segments to vertebral discs are:C5-7 spinal cord segments face C3,4,C4,5 and C5,6 vertebral discs;and C8 and T1 spinal cord segments face C6 and C7 vertebrae.Based on the anatomic finding,four approaches were found out: the lateroventral approach,the lateral approach by enlarging intervertebral foramen,the laterodorsal approach and the lateral and dorsal combined approach.Conclusions The brachial plexus ventral roots can be best reimplanted into the spinal cord by the lateroventral approach and the lateral approach.Although the laterodorsal approach and the lateral and dorsal combined approach are not the best,they are less difficuh and dangerous.
