Objective To investigate the effect of persistent hypoglycemia on the cerebral oxidative stress and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity of newborn rats and to explore the potential mechanism of hypoglycemia-induced brain injury of newborn.MethodsSeven-day-old rats were injected insulin subcutaneously to induce persistent hypoglycemia.Cerebral cortex,hippocampus and thalamus were collected after 36 hours' observation and stored in -80 ℃.Glutathione (GSH)and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) were detected by commercial kit and GSSG/GSH was calculated.MMP-2 activity was detected by gelatin zymography. The data were analyzed by t test,one or two-wayanalysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis.Six rats were set as the normal glucose group. ResultsThirty-six hours after induction of hypoglycemia, the cerebral GSSG and GSSG/GSH of hypoglycemic pups elevated about 1.5 times higher than those of control group [GSSG:(15.89 ± 5.46) vs (6.15 ± 3.42) mg/g protein,t =3.704,P =0.004; GSSG/GSH:(5.58± 1.79) ％ vs (2.79±1.76) ％,t =2.712,P=0.022].The GSSG and GSSG/GSH in thalamus of hypoglycemia were significantly higher than those of control [GSSG:(15.93 ± 5.75) mg/g protein vs (5.03±5.14)mg/g protein,P＜0.05; GSSG/GSH:(6.50±3.25) ％ vs (2.41±3.12) ％,P＜0.05],whereas there were no significant differences in the cortex ard hippocampus.The total MMP-2 activity of hypoglycemic animals (2.22±0.59) was significantly higher than that of control (1.21± 0.17)(t=4.064,P=0.002),and significant differences were found between the two groups in cortex (2.14 ± 0.5 vs 1.17± 0.27),hippocampus (2.31± 0.72 vs 1.22 ± 0.37) and thalamus (2.22±0.68 vs 1.24±0.18) with all P＜0.01].The activity of MMP-2 was positively related to GSSG (r=0.575,P=0.0002) and GSSG/GSH (r=0.484,P=0.0003).ConclusionsOxidative stress might play an important role in the persistent hypoglycemia induced brain injury of 7-day-old rat pups and thalamus might be most vulnerable to hypoglycemia.Hypoglycemia might also elevate MMP-2 activity which is positively related to GSSG level and GSSG/GSH of the brain.

Objective To investigate the role of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase-2 (DDAH-2)/asymmetric dimethylarginine(ADMA)in pathophiology of preeclampsia by detecting expression of DDAH-2 in placenta and serum plasma ADMA.Methods From Jan.2004 to Jan.2005,30 preeclampsia patients(PE group)were chosen in the Third Affiliated Hospital.Guangzhou Medical College matched with 10 normal third trimester women as control(control group).The placental DDAH-2 mRNA expression was detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(FQ-PCR)and the plasma concentration of ADMA WSB determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).Results(1)The level of ADMA in PE group was significantly higher that than of control group[(18.0±7.2)mg/L vs.(10.3±1.7)mg/L,P<0.01].The expression level of ADMA in preeclampsia occurring before 34 gestatinal weeks WaS significantly higher than that of preeclampsia occurring after 34 gestational weeks[(22.0±7.0)ms/L vs.(12.7±2.8)mg/L,P<0.01].(2)The Placental DDAH-2 mRNA expression in preeclampsia patients was remarkably lower than that of control group[1×10(5.23±0.45)copy/μlvs.1×10(5.65±0.08)copy/μl,P<0.01].The Placental DDAH-2 mRNA in preeclampsia occurring before 34 gestatinal weeks was significantly lower than that of preeclampsia occurring after 34 gestational weeks [1×10(5.02±0.46)copy/μl vs.1×10(5.61±0.19)copy/μl,P<0.01].Conclusion Our results suggested that low expression of DDAH-2 in placenta and increased serum ADMA level might confer the susceptibility to preeclampsia.

Combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma (HCC-CC) is a rare primary hepatic neoplasm (PHN) with features of both hepatocellular and biliary differentiation. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are the major causes of HCC-CC. Surgical treatment is the main therapeutic method for HCC-CC. For patients with unresectable lesions, curative or palliative locoregional therapy is applied, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and supportive treatment. Because of the rare occurrence and ambiguous clinical features of HCC-CC, it is most often misdiagnosed with the other two types of primary liver cancer. Thus, the realization of the current progress of combined hepatocellular and cholangiocarcinoma is particularly important for us. This article aims to summarize the epidemiology and clinical futures, the treatment and prognosis, the progress of genetics and molecular analysis of HCC-CC.

BACKGROUND:Coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with transclavicular-transcoracoid driling is an effective surgical technique to treat acromioclavicular dislocation. A good driling in the clavicle leads to a perfect bony tunnel and a good surgery. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of different driling positions of the clavicle on the location of bony tunnels in coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction. METHODS:Sixty three-dimensional digital models of the clavicle and coracoid process were constructed by Mimics13.0. Virtual transclavicular-transcoracoid bony tunnels were established according to different surgical planes with different driling positions in the clavicle. Parameters of these bony tunnels were measured, and the safety was evaluated. Option 1: The driling was made 30 mm distal to the clavicle, located in the center of the front and rear edges of the clavicle surface. Option 2: The driling was made 40 mm distal to the clavicle, located in the center of the front and rear edges of the clavicle surface. Option 3: The driling was made at the straight line of tapered nodule tip and the midpoint of the base of the coracoid process, located at the rear edge of the clavicle upper surface. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Bony tunnels in option 1 were extremely on the inside of the coracoid. Bony tunnels in options 1 and 2 were not in the center of clavicle. Bony tunnels in option 3 were in the center of both clavicle and coracoid. The method of locating the driling position with a certain distance to the distal clavicle leads to different results in man’s and woman’s models. To ensure that the bony tunnel can pass through the center of clavicle and coracoid, it is suggested to dril at the straight line of tapered nodule tip and the midpoint of the base of the coracoid process and nearby the rear edge of the clavicle upper surface.
