To construct a steady canine abdominal aortic aneurysm model to study endovascular graft exclusion, fifteen hybrid canines(averaged 13 5kg) accepted bovine jugular vein segments replacement at infra kidney abdominal aortic to construct aneurysms, while lumbar arteries were reserved. All the fifteen aneurysms had satisfactory figures as clinical patterns. The aneurysm parameters were proximal neck diameter(6 0?0 8)mm, distal neck diameter(5 7?0 6)mm, aneurysm sac diameter(22 7?13 3)mm, length(36 1?17 9)mm. It is concluded that the designation of this model is suitable for endovascular graft exclusion,and can be applicated in many procedures.

Objective To evaluate if the enteral nutrition have effect on the immune function and in- flammatory reaction after operating about gastric carcinoma.Methods 58 postoperative patients suffering from stomach cancer and colon cancer were randomly divided into the EN group and the TPN group.On the first postoperative day,nutrition fibre were given via nasal intestinal tube,increasing the capacity and drop- ping speed day by day until patients can eat liquid diet.While patients in the TPN group didn't eat anything until enterokinesia completely recovered.Observing on preoperative day 1 and on postoperative day 3 and day 8 respectively to check IgA,IgG,IgM,C3,C4,CRP,LYM,LYM%,TP,ALB,PA.Results The results showed that on the postoperative day 8,the target ascension extent was higher than that in the PN group.The statistical significance was very obvious(P

AIM: To establish an animal model for studying the development and metastasis of melanoma. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice were used as host to receive melanoma cell transplantation. Three kinds of melanoma cell lines, B16F0, B16F1 and B16F10, cultured to prepare the cell suspensions, were transplanted into the mouse anterior chamber (AC) of the eye. The time of eyeball diabross, time of survival and metastasis of lymph node and lung were observed. RESULTS: The time of eyeball diabross in F10 group was earlier than that in other groups. The time of eyeball diabross was no difference between F0 and F1 groups. Metastasis was developed 18 days after transplantation in F1 and F10 groups, where the tumor cells was found in ipsilateral cervical lymph nodes. The melanoma cells metastasized to lung in all three groups 28 days after transplantation. The survival time in F0 group was longer than F1 and F10 groups. There was no difference in survival times between F1 and F10 group. CONCLUSION: The differences of three kinds of melanoma cell lines in tumor development and metastasis provided the evidence that was useful for choosing suitable animal model further to study the eye melanima.

Objective To investigate the action mechanism of Qingjin Huatan Decoction on regulating COPD rats with mucus hypersecretion in airway. Methods Fifty 6-8 week old Wistar male rats were randomly divided into healthy group, model group, Qingjin Huatan Decoction group, clarithromycin group, 10 rats in each group. Except for healthy group, all the other groups were used the combination method of injecting LPS and smudging to establish COPD models. The last three groups were fed with normal saline, Qingjin Huatan Decoction, clarithromycin respectively for 30 days. On the 31st day of the experiment, the rats were put to death to take lung tissue. 6 rats from each group were chosen randomly, and the protein expressions of NE, EGFR and MUC5AC mRNA in lung tissue were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results The expressions of NE, MUC5AC mRNA in lung tissue of COPD rats were higher than the healthy group. Compared with model group, the expressions of NE mRNA and MUC5AC mRNA in Qingjin Huatan Decoction group and clarithromycin group were markedly lower, while the expressions of NE, MUC5AC mRNA in Qingjin Huatan Decoction group were significantly lower than those in clarithromycin group. The expression of EGFR mRNA in Qingjin Huatan Decoction group was lower than that in model group. Conclusion Qingjin Huatan Decoction can inhibit mucus hypersecretion in airway through NE/EGFR/MUC5AC signal transduction pathway.

Objective To observe changes of motilin(MTL) levels in gastric body, duodenum and plasma in rat model of acute incisional pain.Methods A total of 156 healthy male adult SD rats,weighing 180-220 g,were randomized into two groups:control group (group C,n=78) and incisional pain group (group P,n=78),Rats in P group received incision on the right plantaris. Values of paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) and paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL) at dif?ferent time points of 24 hours before operation (T0) and 1 hour (T1),6 hours (T2),24 hours(T3),48 hours (T4) and 72 hours (T5) after operation were measured in six rats chosen randomly from each group. Twelve rats were chosen from each group at T 0-5, and sacrificed. The MTL levels in plasma, the mucosal tissues of gastric body and duodenum were detected by ELISA. Re?sults Compared with group C, PWMT and PWTL were significantly decreased at T1-4 in group P. The MTL levels were sig?nificantly decreased in plasma and gastric body (P<0.05).The MTL level was significantly increased at T1-4 in duodenum (P<0.05),and no significant changes were found at T0 and T5 in P group(P>0.05). The plasma MTL levels were positively correlated with PWMT and PWTL (r=0.952,r=0.879,respectively,P<0.01) in P group. The MTL levels in gastric body were positively correlated with PWMT and PWTL(r=0.970,r=0.931,respectively,P<0.01) in P group. The MTL levels were neg?atively correlated with PWMT and PWTL(r=-0.991,r=-0.975,respectively,P<0.01) in duodenum in P group. Conclu?sion The MTL levels in plasma and gastric body are decreased in rat model of acute incisional pain, and increased in duo?denum.

Objective To explore the significance and important measure of integrative treatment of multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury in emergency center. Methods One hundred and forty-eight multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury in emergency center from November 2002 to February 2006 were analysed retrospectively. Result In total 148 cases, 72 were cured and 26 dead, 7 were in status of plant man, 17 experienced severe deformity, and 26 did mild deformity. Conclusion Multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury usually experience a serious situation and rapid development. Therefore emergency doctors are required for organizing salvage of such patients, at the same time treatment and diagnosis are implemented. Firstly the most important key to successful salvage is appropriate disposal of fatal injury and early elimination of shock. Proper surgical choice, especially at the first time, inspection and protection of visceral functions, and attention to nutritional support are other vital methods to gain more successful salvage. ICU is also emphasized for its essentiality.
