Objective:To define the localization of aquaporin-4(AQP4)and its mRNA expression in the pancreas.So as to pro- vide morphological basis for the secretory function and regulation mechanisms in the pancreas.Methods:Immunohistochemical (IHC)and in situ hybridization(ISH)staining techniques were used to evaluate the expression of AQP4 and mRNA expression in pancreas.Results:IHC showed that AQP4 and its mRNA were expressed in the membrane of pancreas islet cells;however light-coloured was expressed in the acinus cell.Conclusion:AQP4 might contribute to the precise regulation of water and ion balance in pancreas islet cells,which may be fluctuated during the process of synthesis and secretion of endocrine,but AQP4 might have little contribution to the secretion of pancreatin.

Objective To assess the advantages and disadvantages of urine drainage by double-J ureteral stent or by percutaneous indwelling stent for pyeloplasty. Methods A total of 62 patients who had undergone pyeloplasty (6 patients had undergone operation on both sides) were reviewed.These patients had 68 sides of drainage during operation.The therapeutic effects,relevant complications and recoveries of 31 sides with internal stent and 37 with external stent for pyeloplasty were analyzed retrospectively. Results The rate of total postoperative complications such as hematuria,urinary tract infection,anastomotic leakage of urine or stenosis and urinary salt deposit in the internal drainage group (7/31,22.6%) was remarkably lower than that of the external drainage group (17/37,45.9%), P

Objective To evaluate the effect of simple closure operation followed by anti-Helicobacter pylori(Hp)therapy for perforated peptic ulcer. Methods 168 cases of perforated peptic ulcer treated by simple closure operation with or without postoperative medication therapy were followed-up and analyzed. Results 1 year after operation, the recurrence rate of peptic ulcer was 3.8% in the group of standard anti-Hp therapy(S group), and that of gastric and duodenal ulcer in S group was 8.3% and 3.6%,respectively; while it was 62.9%, 66.7% and 58.8% in the group of non-standard Hp therapy (N-S group), and 88.9%, 100% and 80.0% in the group without Hp therapy (NT group).The diffcrence of reccurrence rate of peptic ulcer between S group with N-S group?NT group was significant(P

Objective: To study the effect of Carisolv in caries removal on dentin bonding surface.Methods:24 extracted third molars with moderate carious were randomly divided into four groups. Each cavity was split into two parts, one part was prepared by Carisolv and the other by high-speed bur. Then samples were processed as follows: samples in group A were not treated, those in group B were treated with 320 ml/L phosphoric acid, SEM was used to observe the morphology of dentin surface of the samples in group A and B. Samples in group C were restored with Dyract AP and those in group D with resin for the observation of the microstructure of dentin-filling bonding interfaces.Results:In group A, rough surface without obvious smear layer was exhibited and dentinal tubules were clearly open after Carisolv preparation; after bur preparation, dentin surfaces were covered with a thick smear layer and no opening of tubules was visible. In group B, after treatment with 320 ml/L phosphoric acid, the smear layer was removed and dentinal tubules were exposed after either Carisolv or bur preparation, but tube stoppers were visible in the samples prepared by bur. In group C, resin tags were observed only in the samples after Carisolv preparation. In group D,dentin surfaces and lengths of the resin tags did not show remarkable difference after Carisolv or bur preparation, but more lateral branch connection between resin tags appeared in the samples prepared by Carisolv than by bur.Conclusion:The dentin prepared by Carisolv favors bonding between dentin and resin/compomer and has the advantage of restoring with compomer.

Objective:To study the spinal cord injury, spinal cord transection and persistent placeholder damage on the influence of secondary neural cell apoptosis in rats.Methods: Select 60 healthy male Wistar rats, numbered after using the random number table method is divided into A (18,spinal cord contusion),B (18,spinal cord transection),C (18,continuous placeholder),D (6,control),E (6,the control group only) groups of five,were observed at the 1,4,7 D after 5 group of rats nerve cell apoptosis index, spinal cord tissue Bcl-2,the expression of Bax,caspase 3 protein.Results:A,B,C three groups of rats after building 1 d are gray and white matter positive markers, and the gray matter and white matter of three groups of rats nerve cell apoptosis index differences statistically significant ( P<0.05);4 d,7 d after building gray matter and white matter of three groups of rats tend to place increased ap-optotic cells in the spinal cord index ( P<0.05);in building 1,4,7 d group C after rat spinal cord grey matter and white matter of apoptotic cell index was significantly higher than that of group A and group B, group B were significantly higher in group A and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).1,4,7 d after building A,B,C,D,E five group rats the Bcl-2,Bax,caspase-3 protein expression differences were statistically significant (P<0.05),1,4,7 d after building A,B,C the Bcl-2 of three groups of rats, Bax,caspase-3 protein expression was significantly higher than that of group D and group E ( P<0.05).Conclusion: Secondary rats after spinal cord injury of nerve cells apoptosis,apoptosis time,severity,and damage type and severity.

Objective To observe the effects of electro-acupuncture on the expression and inhibition of DNA binding protein 2 (Id2) and myelin basic protein (MBP),and to explore the mechanism of remyelinization after compressive spinal cord injury (CSCI) in rats.Methods Fifty-four SD rats were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group,and each was further subdivided into 3 time point subgroups:3,7 and 14 days.There were 9 rats in each subgroup.The CSCI models were made with a self-designed method.The acupuncture points Jiaji (EX-B2),bilateral Zusanli (ST36) and Taixi (KI3) were selected for treatment.Electro-acupuncture (continuous wave,2 Hz,1.5 V)was applied to the bilateral Zusanli (ST36) and Taixi (KI3) points.The control group received the injury but no treatment.The changes in the ultrastucture of the nerve fibers＇ white matter were de-termined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The alterations in the expression of MBP and Id2 were observed by double labeled immunofluorescence and Western blotting on the 3rd,7th and 14th day after the injury.Results TEM showed that the myelin sheaths in the control group had degenerated,swollen,and even broken down after CSCI.Changes to the myelin sheaths in the treatment group were milder than those in the control group.The immunofluorescence results showed the amount of Id2-immunoreactive oligodendrocytes in the control group to be (20 ±2) on the 3rd day after CSCI,becoming (16 ± 1) on the 14th day.The differences among the 3 control subgroups were not statistically significant.The amount of Id2-immunoreactive oligodendrocytes in the treatment group was (13 ± 1) on the 3rd day,reaching a minimum the 14th day.The differences among the 3 treatment groups were statistically significant.The differences compared with the control group at the same time points were also statistically significant.Western blotting showed that the expression of Id2 in the contrast and treatment groups was (1.12 ±0.12) and (0.67 ±0.01) respectively on the 3rd day after CSCI,and both decreased with time.The expression of Id2 in both groups reached their minima ((0.86 ±0.02) and (0.25 ±0.01) respectively) on the 14th day.The difference between the treatment groups and the contrast group was statistically significant at each time point.The expression of MBP in the contrast and treatment groups at day 3 was (0.44 ± 0.02) and (0.67 ± 0.04) respectively,and these increased with time.The expression of MBP in both groups peaked at the 14th day (at (0.95 ± 0.04) and (1.74 ± 0.09) respectively).These differences were again statistically significant.Conclusion Electro-acupuncture can regulate the expression of Id2 and MBP after CSCI.The down-regulation of Id2 which controls MBP negatively and the up-regulation of MBP may contribute to remyelination in the injured spinal cord.

Objective To examine the changes of Aβ expression and its related metabolic enzymes in the brains of AD and T2DM mice, so as to explore the possible mechanism of type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with AD.Methods Five-month-old APP/PS1 double transgenic mice, ob/ob mice and the wild-type control mice were employed in this study.Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, Elisa and Western blot were used to detect SP, Aβ and its related metabolic enzymes.Results A certain number of SPs were observed in the cerebral cortex and hip-pocampus of APP/PS1 mice;SPs were occasionally observed in the cortex of ob/ob mice, while no SP appeared in wild-type mice.Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels were significantly increased in APP/PS1 and ob/ob mice brains as compared with controls (P<0.05), thought both Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels in AD mice were significantly higher than those of ob/ob mice (P<0.05).APP expression level was highest in APP/PS1 mice among 3 groups, and its expressed higher in ob/ob mice than that of control mice (P<0.05).BACE1 expression was notably increased in APP/PS1 and ob/ob mice as compared with control(P<0.05), however, it expressed higher in APP/PS1 mice than ob/ob mice (P<0.05).The expression of Aβ degradation enzyme IDE was reduced in APP/PS1 and ob/ob mice(P<0.05), while lowest in ob/ob mice.Conclusions Overexpression of Aβ may be one of main reasons for T2DM combined AD.

Objective To evaluate the clinical classification and timing of surgery in the treatment of gallstone acute pancreatitis(GAP). Method The clinical data of 109 patients with GAP admitted to the Department of General Surgery of our hospital were retrospectively analysed. Result and Conclusion Based on the analysis of the treatment methods and its outcome, GAP should be divided into four types according to ampullary obstruction and severity of acute pancreatitis. (1)Non-obstructive mild type GAP was treated mainly in conservative way.(2)Obstructive mild type GAP could be treated conservatively for 36 hours after onset. If the obstruction did not resolve, surgery should be done. (3)Obstructive severe type GAP was treated mainly in conservative way, and the timing of surgery depends on whether necrosis complicated with infection. (4)Obstructive severe type GAP: EST should be done first. If EST is not convenient to be done, an early surgery should be done after short period of supportive therapy. Special attention should be paid to, if suppurative cholecystitis or cholangitis presented, an emergency surgery should be done. Finally, for all the GAP treated by conservative treatment, an elective surgery should be performed to resolve the biliary disease.
