Background Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic model is an acceptable model and is often used to the study of diabetic retinopathy (DR).However,the model is often established using retinal digest preparation in vitro in albino rats,and therefore it is difficult to evaluate the change of retinal vessels by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in vivo.Recently,pigmented rats are being used as the DR model.But the study on the comparison between albino rat model and pigmented rat model is seldom.Objective This study was to observe and compare the manifestations of FFA and retinal digest preparation in early diabetic pigmented diabetic rat and albino diabetic rat,and to select the right model of DR using FFA.Methods Type 1 diabetic models were induced in 15 six-week-old health male BN rats and 15 six-week-old health male SD rats by the injection of STZ (55 mg/kg) via tail vein.The models were thought to be successful in the rats with the blood glucose level ≥ 16.7 mmol/L.The right eyes of the rats were extracted 6 weeks after injection of STZ.Lens were examined by slit lamp microscope.Retinal vascular changes were examined by fundus photography,FFA and periodic acid Schiff staining of retinal digest preparation.The manifestations of FFA and retinal digest preparation were contrasted between BN rats and SD rats.The number of eyes with lens opacification was compared by Chi-square test and the ratio of vascular endothelial cells and perithelial cells (E/P) was compared between BN rats and SD rats.The use and care of experimental animals complied the Statement of Ethic Committee of Tianjin Medicine University.Results Six weeks after injection of STZ,11 BN rats and 10SD rats were included in this study.The blood levels were (24.73±2.98) mmol/L and (22.36±3.65) mmol/L in BN rats and SD rats,respectively,without significant difference between the 2 types of rats (t =7.873,P＞0.05).Lens opacification occurred in 6 BN rats and in 5 SD rats (P=0.717).FFA showed the clear retinal vascular under the brown background.Evident vessel disorder and fluorescence leakage like background stage of DR were seen in 9 eyes.However,in the SD rats,retinal vessel abnormality could not exhibited owing to the interference of choroid fluorescent light from choroidal vessels and vortex vein.Retinal digest preparation exhibited that unevenness of vessel diameter,decrease of perithelial cells and increase of endothelial cells in both types of rats.The E/P values were 11.50±3.68in the BN rats and 12.86±3.94 in the SD rats,without significant difference between them (t=9.785,P＞0.05).Conclusions The abnormality of fundus vascular morphology can be better displayed in pigmented diabetic rats than albino rats by FFA in vivo.

In this study, ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometer-MS^E (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS^E) combined with UNIFI analysis platform was used to rapidly analyze and identify the metabolites of hederagenins 3-O-α-L-rhamnosyl-(1→2)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-α-L-arabopyranoside (Pulsatilla saponin D) and oleanolic acid 3-O-α-L-rhamnosyl-(1→2)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-α-L-arabopyranoside (Pulsatilla saponin B₇) and hederagenins 3-O-α-L-rhamnosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabopyranoside (Pulsatilla saponin BD) in plasma and colonic tissue of normal and ulcerative colitis (UC) rats. The database and analysis methods were established based on the precise molecular weight of compounds, retention time, neutral loss and reported data, and then the final data were obtained by comparing with the blank control group, combining with the deviation and the cracking rule of the compound. The results showed that the glucoses, hydroxylation and dehydroxylation, methylation and demethylation, dehydrogenation, decarboxylation and hydrolysis of saponin D, B₇ and BD occurred in the plasma and colon tissues of normal and UC model rats. This study will clarify the metabolic transformation of Pulsatilla saponins D, B₇ and BD in rats, determine the prototype components and their metabolites that enter the body, and whether colon injury will affect their metabolism in vivo, so as to explore the possible anti-colitis effective components in the prototype or metabolites of Pulsatilla saponins D, B₇ and BD. This experiment was approved by Animal Ethics Committee of Jiangxi Science and Technology Normal University (approval number: Y202227).

Objective To investigate CT findings in gastric stromal tumors(GST).Methods Both plain and enhanced spiral CT findings in 46 cases with gastric stromal tumor were retrospectively analyzed.In all patients,diagnosis was confirmed with immunohistochemical markers.CT features were retrospectively studied and summarized.Statistical analysis of the shape,growth pattern,necrosis and enhancement patterns was performed with X2 test in 43 cases with single gastric stromal tumor.Results Of the 46 GST patients,43 patients had single GST and multiple GST was detected in 3 cases.In the 43 cases with single GST,tumors were found in the gastric body in 24 cases,gastric fundus in 16 cases,and in the gastric antrum in 3 cases.GST mostly grow along the vertical plane of gastric wall,with a large size but local attachment.The tumor size was less than 5era in diameter in 14 cases.Of them,ten cases had a regular shape,10 cases showed homogeneous enhancement,and 4 cases exhibited central necrosis,7 tumors showed intra-luminal growth and 5 tumors showed extra-luminal growth,while the other 2 cases involved both intra and extra lumina.Twenty-nine cases had tumors larger than 5cm in diameter.Of them,24 cases had irregular shape,27 cases showed inhomogeneous enhancement,24 cases had central necrosis,5 tumors showed intra-luminal growth and 9 tumors showed extra-luminal growth,while 15 cases involved both intra and extra lumina.The tumor size of GST closely was related to the shape,growth pattern,necrosis and the inhomogeneous enhancement patterns of the GST(P<0.05).The enhancement of the tumor was more intense in venous phase and delayed phase.Five cases showed septal enhancement,4 tumors exhibited marked enhancement in arterial phase with up to 60 HU.Conclusions CT can precisely display the location,shape and size of gastric stromal tumors.It is very helpful to provide useful information for early diagnosis and evaluation.

Objective To assess the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS)in evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of uterine leiomyoma treated by radiofrequency ablation(RFA)and to discuss the value of its application.Methods Forty-four patients which were diagnosed as uterine leiomyomas by ultrasonic guidance needle puncture biopsy preoperation were examined by CEUS before and one week after RFA treatment respectively,and the patho-results were got again after the surgery.Routine ultrasonography was performed in 1,3,6,12 months after the treatment to compare the volume change of uterine leiomyomas with the change of the clinical symptoms.Results After the treatment,CEUS showed that the contrast agent didn't appear in thirty-five patients'uterine leiomyomas and the nonperfusion regions matched the size of the uterine leiomyomas completely.The contrast agent enhanced on the edge of the uterine leiomyomas in nine,the patho-results confirmed that the nonperfusion regions of the contrast agent were necrosis tissues and the marginal local enhancement regions were incomplete necrosis.Three month after RFA treatment,the uterine leiomyomas began to shrink,which showed obviously in 6 months after the treatment.There were significant differences in the parameters before and after the treatment(P＜0.05).Clinical symptoms improved obviously in thirty-five patients(90%)after the treatment.Conclusions RFA is an effective minimally invasive surgery of the uterine leiomyoma.CEUS can identify the treatment range and the remaining tissues.It has significant value in guiding the supplementary treatment.

Objective To investigate the criteria of hemodynamic parameters for diagnosis of intracranial segment vertebral artery stenosis with transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS ). Methods A total of 622 outpatients or inpatients with suspected posterior circulation ischemia were enrolled retrospectively,from which 216 patients were selected with TCCS,color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI)screen,and digital subtraction angiography (DSA)examination,including 33 patients (15. 3%) had normal intracranial vertebral arteries,the stenosis rates<50% were 45 cases (20. 8%),50%-69%were 44 cases (20. 4%),and 70%-99% were 94 cases (43. 5%). The mean velocity (MV)of intracranial segment,the ratios SPRP (PSV1/PSV2 ),SPRE (EDV1/EDV2 )of the systolic and end diastolic flow velocity between the intracranial segment and the intervertebral space segment were calculated respectively by detecting the intracranial segment of vertebral artery,the intervertebral space segment peak systolic velocity (PSV1 ,PSV2 )and end diastolic velocity (EDV2 ,EDV1 ). The DSA findings were used as the criteria,the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC ) curve was calculated and the optimal cut-off points were obtained. Results The optimal cut-off points of TCCS diagnosis of intracranial vertebral artery stenosis were as follows:the parameter standards of stenosis rate <50% were 110 cm/s≤PSV1≤145 cm/s and 65 cm/s≤MV≤85 cm/s,the parameter standards of stenosis rate 50%-69%were 145 cm/s≤PSV1≤190 cm/s and 85 cm/s≤MV≤115 cm/s,and the parameter standards of stenosis rate 70%-99% were PSV1≥190 cm/s and MV≥115 cm/s. Conclusion TCCS may effectively evaluate the hemodynamic changes of intracranial vertebral artery stenosis and provide reference for the ultrasound evaluation criteria of intracranial vertebral artery stenosis.

Objective To investigate color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI)and transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS)for detection and evaluation of severe stenosis of intracranial vertebral artery (IVA) before and after stenting,as well as the hemodynamic changes of restenosis and their clinical value. Methods A total of 102 patients with severe stenosis of IVA confirmed by CDFI plus TCCS and DSA from November 2011 to November 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Extra- and intracranial segments peak systolic velocity (PSV),end-diastolic velocity (EDV),IVA pulsatility index (PI),extracranial resistance index (RI),tube diameter,spectrum morphology,and hemodynamic parameters before stenting and 1 week, 3,6 and 12 months after stenting were compared. According to the results of TCCS,they were further divided into either a restnosis group (n=16 )or a non-restnosis group (n=86 ). Results (1 )The results of TCCS detection showed:PSV,EDV,and PI of the stenotic segments were improved significantly at 1 week after stenting,they were 109 ± 40 cm/s vs. 258 ± 63 cm/s,47 ± 18 cm/s vs. 132 ± 45 cm/s,0. 91 ± 0. 15 vs. 0.75 ± 0. 18,respectively. There were significant differences (all P<0. 01). PSV and EDV of the restenosis group were increased gradually from 3 to 12 months after procedure. There were significant differences between 12 months after procedure and one week after procedure (all P<0. 01). There were no significant differences in PSV,EDV,and PI of the non-restenosis group between the 12-month observation period after procedure and one week after procedure (P>0. 05). (2)The results of CDFI showed:PSV and EDV of the ipsilateral extracranial segment were improved significantly after procedure compare with those before procedure, they were 64 ± 15 cm/s vs. 51 ± 15 cm/s and 24 ± 6 cm/s vs. 19 ± 7 cm/s (all P<0. 05). The RI value and vertebral artery diameter of the extracranial segment were improved gradually,and they reached the peak at 12 months after procedure (0. 61 ± 0. 07 vs. 0. 63 ± 0. 12,P=0. 038;3. 6 ± 0. 4 mm vs. 3. 4 ± 0.5 mm,P=0. 009). Conclusion CDFI in combination with TCCS can objectively evaluate the extra-and intracranial hemodynamic changes before and after IVA stenting,and provide reference information for the effectiveness of stenting and the imaging evaluation of restenosis.

Food allergies, as a type of adverse immune-mediated reactions to ingested food proteins, have become a serious public health issue that harms children and adults health, with increasing incidence year by year. However, without effective therapy for food allergies, doctors-have mostly advised to avoid allergens and provided symptomatic treatment. According to the findings of many studies, allergic diseases are correlated with intestinal barrier function injury, as evidenced by the significant increase in the intestinal permeability among patients with food allergies. In this paper, recent studies on correlations between food allergies and intestinal barrier functions, intestinal barrier function injury mechanisms of allergic foods and food allergy intervention strategies based on intestinal barrier functions were summarized to provide reference for laboratory researches and clinical treatment of food allergic diseases.
