Rat C6 glioma cells were cultured in vitro,and 10?L C6 cell suspension containing 10g/L agarose and 1?10 6 C6 cells was injected into the right caudate nucleus of rat brains to establish a rat brain tumor model by directional implantation method.General observation and MRI scan were conducted after implantation.Trans aorta paraformaldehyde perfusion for 5 group rats having received implantation was carried out at 10,15,20,25,days and before natural death.The tumor containing samples were prepared histologically by hematoxylin and eosin stains.MRI scan showed that intracerebral growth occurred in 50 implanted rats,with a distant metastasis of 4%.The results indicated that tumor globular intracerebral growth occurred and extracranial growth extension was scarce after implantation.The model was very stable and the implanted rat survival duration is easily determined. The experiment lays the foundation for chemotherapy,radiotherapy and gene therapy of the glioma.

To explore the molecular pathological mechanism of severe brain injury, the brain diffuse axon injury (DAI) model and Mamarou free drop model were produced in rats. Sagittal sections of the brain were processed by immunohistochemical ABC method using the mouse serum against NF68 subunit and HSP70. The medulla oblongata was observed under the microscope and electron microscope. Left parietal lobe of the free drop model was examined with HE and HSP70 immunohistochemistry. At 30 min post injury, the axons in medulla oblongata were seen to be crooked, swollen,and deranged. The myelin sheath became slightly separated, and the NFs in axoplasma were abnormal . At 2~24 h post injury,obvious axonal swelling, disconnection and formation of axonal retraction balls were seen. Obvious separation of myelin sheaths, local disconnection, vacuolization,peripheral aggregation of mitochondria and partial dissolution of axoplasma were seen. The NF68 positive axons increased gradually in staining intensity. HSP 70 positive cells of the two groups were detected at 3h after brain injury, reached the peak at 24h, and decreased at 72h. The HSP expression of the two groups were in accord. The research indicated that DAI could lead to a derangement in structure of NFs. Ischemia and anoxia may aggravate the brain injury.

Tenascin and CD34 expression in 35 cases of human glioma with different degrees of malignancy were studied by immunohistochemistry and hybridization in situ,and their correlation analysis was conducted based on their postoperative follow up results. The expression of tenascin and microvessel density (MVD) varied with the degree of tumor cell differentiation,the higher tumor grade was,the higher tenascin expression or mvd amount was.The expression of tenascin was closely associated with angiogenesis( P

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of boron neutron capture therapy(BNCT) in C6 glioma cell line.Methods C6 cells in exponential phase were divided into 6 groups: untreated control,(~(60)Co?)(4 Gy),~(60)Co? 8 Gy,nuclear reactor exposure without boronophenylalanine(BPA) 3 Gy,BNCT(4 Gy) and BNCT 8 Gy.Cellular morphological change was observed by an inverted microscope,light microscope,fluorescence microscope and electronic microscope.Flow cytometry was used to determine the percentage of apoptosis,necrosis and normal cells 48h after irradiation.Colony forming assay was used to calculate cell surviving fraction.Results Typical morphological changes of apoptosis were observed early after irradiation in BNCT group,with a significant increase in apoptotic rates was observed 48 h after irradiation with 63.2% and 88.3% for BNCT(4 Gy) and 8 Gy group,respectively(P

Objective To investigate the optimal time for double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB).Methods Data of 78 patients with OGIB who underwent DBE from January 2009 to November 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.They were classified into two groups:emergency DBE and non-emergency DBE.The demographic and clinical features and outcomes of DBE,the time of examination and complications were compared.Results The overall diagnostic yield of DBE was 48 lesions (61.54 ％).The overall diagnostic yield of emergency DBE group was 77.14％,which was significantly higher than that in non-emergency DBE group (48.83％) (P =0.019).The time of examination in emergency group was shorter than that of non-emergency group with significant difference (P =0.031).Conclusion Emergency DBE takes less time and yields a higher rate of detection.Patients withOGIB should receive DBE as soon as possible.

OBJECTIVE: Exploring the intra-axonal overloading of calcium ion (Ca(2+)) in brain diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and the therapeutic effect of calcium antagonist(Nimotop) on DAI. METHODS: Fourteen SD rats were divided into injury group, treatment group and control group. The DAI model of rats was produced by using a head-instant-axial-rotation device. Tissues from the medulla oblongata of rats were taken 2-24 h post-injury and processed for electron microscopic observation by a cytochemical technique for calcium ion. RESULTS: In the injured rats there was evidence of local disruption of myelin sheath,lucent spaces between myelin sheath lamellae, separation of axolemma from the inner layer of myelin sheath, peripheral accumulation of organellae, intra-axonal formation of vacuoles and reduction of mitochondria. A large number of fine calcium deposits were seen on the affected myelin sheath. The severity of the myelin sheath lesion was related positively to the number of calcium deposits on it. In the later post-injury period the coarse calcium particles appeared within the damaged axon. Neuronal somas and microvascular endotheliums showed a lot of vacuoles and some fine calcium deposits. Many microvilli formed on the luminal aspect of endothelium. In the treatment group myelin sheath tended to be injured locally, and axoplasmic mitochondria were nearly normal in number, structure, and distribution. Few calcium deposits were found in axons. Vacuolization was obviously reduced in neuronal soma and endothelium. CONCLUSIONS: In DAI there exists an intra-axonal overloading of calcium ion, which is a key factor to the occurrence and development of DAI. Early use of Nimotop can alleviate DAI.

Objective To optimize the clinical managements of primary fetal hydrothorax(PFHT) fetus by comparing the perinatal survival rate of different prenatal treatments.Methods Totally 13 fetuses diagnosed with PFHT from July 2009 to December 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University were collected and received prenatal expectant treatment, thoracocentesis (TC), and thoraco-amniotic shunting (TAS), respectively. The perinatal survival rate was compared among the three treatments. Results Among 13 fetuses of PFHT,pleural effusion was absorbed or remained stable in 2(2/13)cases,and progressed in 11(11/13) cases. Six cases received expectant treatment (2 cases had termination of pregnancy due to progressing effusion, 2 cases had term delivery, and 2 cases had intrauterine death); the perinatal survival rate was 2/6. Six cases received TC (2 cases had term delivery, 2 cases had preterm delivery,and 2 cases had termination of pregnancy due to progressing effusion),the perinatal survival rate was 4/6.One case received TC+TAS(term delivery),the perinatal survival rate was 1/1.The overall perinatal survival rate of prenatal intrauterine intervention was 5/7. Conclusions The clinical process of PFHT is changeable, and the pleural effusion will progress with gestational age. Intrauterine interventions could improve the perinatal survival rate.

OBJECTIVETo establish rat C6 brain-tumor models and find a simple reliable index to judge tumor volume.

METHODSC6 cell suspension (10 microl) containing 10 g/L agarose and 1 x 10(6) cells was injected into the right caudate nucleus of the rat brain by a stereotaxic method. After implantation, rats were observed and given MRI scans. Rats were perfused with paraformaldehyde trans-aorta at the 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th day and before natural death. All brains, lungs, spinal cords and tumors were sectioned and inspected. Tumor-containing samples were prepared histologically by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stains.

RESULTSFifty implanted rats had 100% yield of intracerebral growth, with distant metastasis of 0% to 4%.

CONCLUSIONA rat C6 brain-tumor model was successfully established. Rat survival time is correlated with tumor volume and may be useful as an index of tumor size.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated factors in Changsha county of Hunan province. Methods Using a stratified, multistage sampling, 1950 residents (older than 20 years old) from 3 towns of Changsha county were randomly selected to be interviewed and tested for the kidney damage indicators and the associated factors with CKD. Results Eligible data of 1727 subjects were enrolled in the study. After the adjustment of age and gender compenent, the prevalence of albuminuria was 8.5%, hematuria 5.1%, and reduced eGFR 1.5%. Approximately 14.6% subjects had at least one indicator of kidney damage, and the awareness rate was 16.5%. Age, hypercholesteremia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension and diabetes were independently correlated with albuminuria. Female, age, hypertriglyceridemia and hyperuricemia were independently correlated with reduced renal function. Female was independently correlated with hematuria. Conclusions The prevalence of chronic kidney disease is 14.6% and the awareness rate is 16.5% in suburban adult population of the central south area of China. The spectrum and correlated factors of CKD in this county undergoing fast economic development are close to those of Guangzhou and developed countries.
