Background Rare studies on the effect of statin on early stage of atherosclerosis have been repor- ted.Oxidative stress induced endothelial dysfunction may be the initiative factor for the development of atheroscle- rotic plague.Objective To investigate the mechanisms by which simvastatin,prevents atheroselerosis independ- ently of its lipid-lowering effect in Apolipoprotein E deficient mice.Methods Twenty-four 6 week old male apoE- deficient mice were randomly to receive placebo or simvastatin 5 mg/(kg?d)by gavage for 4 weeks.Total choles- terol(TC),super oxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)and serum nitric oxide(NO)were measured by biochemical analysis.Endothelium was observed by HE dyeing.The expression of caveolin-1 in aortic wall was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results There was no significant difference in serum TC between control and simvastatin treatment groups.Simvastatin caused less damaged endothelium(33.33% vs control's:75%,P

An extracellar fibrinolytic strain was isolated from fermented shrimp paste. In addition to general physiological and biochemical properties, the strain was identified by 16S rDNA sequence and systematic analysis. The results showed that 16S rDNA sequence of the strain had high similarity with AY601723 and AB195282, suggesting that the strain is a subspecies of Bacillus sp. It was named as Bacillus sp. nov. SK006 by CCTCC. The medium composition and fermentation conditions for fibrinolytic enzyme production were also optimized in the research.

Objective To investigate the effect of pseudolaric acid B(PLAB) on growth of human gastric carcinoma cells in vitro.Methods The expression of PPAR? was detected by RT-PCR;the effect of PLAB on cell growth was tested by MTT;Hoechst33342/PI and DNA gel electrolysis were employed to examine apoptosis;cell cycle was checked by flow cytometry.Results When treated with 0.1～10 ?mmol/L PLAB for 72,the proliferation of MGC803 cells was significantly inhibited.The proportion of MGC803 cells at G2 phase was significantly increased when treated with 10 ?mmol/L PLAB after 48 h,and showed an apparent G2 phase arrest.After treatement with PLAB for 72,typical apoptotic changes were observed.The expression of PPAR? was at a low level in MGC803 cells and up-regulated when treated with 10 ?mmol/L PLAB for 48 h(P

Objective:To explore the clinical effect and safety of modified microvascular decompression (MVD) on the recurrent trigeminal neuralgia.Methods:50 patients with recurrent trigeminal neuralgia from 2010 to 2015 in the Center of Cranial Nerve of Shanghai Jiaotong University (including Shanghai Tongren Hospital and Xinhua Hospital) were retrospectively analyzed,patients before 2012 were given regular MVD (MVD group,n=22),patients after 2012 were given improved MVD (modified MVD group,n=28).MVD group was given trigeminal nenre root decompression by traditional MVD,the method was described as follows:the skin,myofascial was cutted in turn along the first incision,the scar tissue on the edge of bone window was separated,and the bone window was appropriately expanded until the dura mater was fully exposed.Then dura mater was cutted open to sharply dissect the arachnoid,Meckel cavity was probed up to neurological brain regions (REZ),the trigeminal nerve segment was closely examined to separate the responsible blood vessels of oppressive nerve and the Teflon pad of cotton imbedding at the first operation.Modified MVD group was given detection of intracranial trigeminal nerve and its surrounding structures,dissection of brainstem extended segment of trigeminal neuralgia,and the compression of superior cerebellar artery to brainstem extended segment of trigeminal neuralgia was fended off.The postoperative remission rate,recurrence and complications between two groups were compared.Results:The postoperative remission rate in modified MVD group was 100.0％,which was significantly higher than that of the MVD group (P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance in the incidence of postoperative complications between two groups (P＞0.05).The recurrence rate at 1 year after surgery in modified MVD group was 0％,which was significantly lower than that of the MVD group (22.7％,P＜0.05).Conclusions:Decompression of trigeminal nenrerootcombined with brainstem extended segment of trigeminal neuralgia in MVD for recurrent trigeminal neuralgia could effectively relieve the pain,reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence,and wouldn't increase the postoperative complications.

The most common forms of treatment for amblyopia are occlusion therapy and pharmacologic penalization. But these methods can not recover all the visual deficits of amblyopes and there are some disadvantages of the treatment which need to be considered, including adverse effects, compliance and social stigma. Recently, some novel approaches are investigated for improving the effectiveness and compliance of treatment for amblyopia.

By using electron microscopy, the paranodal region and axo-glial junction were examined in optic nerves of rats aged 14 days. The paranodal region was characterized in longitudinal sections by the sequential termination of the myelin lamellae, beginning proximally with the innermost and ending, at the Ranvier node, with the outermost lamella. The termination of each lamella was accom- panied by a separation of the major dense line of the compact myelin and the consequent formation of a "loop" of glial cytoplasm. Each paranodal loop inde- nted the axonal surface as it became junctionally apposed to the axolemma. The periaxonal extracellular space, 10-20nm in width in the internodal region and reduced at the paranodal junction to approximately 3nm, forming an axo-glial junction, which was thought to be held together by dense structure. The parano- dal junction seems to serve strong adhesion between the apposed axonal and glial membranes. Conduction of the nerve impulses in myelinated axons was saltatory. Axons and sheath cells probably maintain vital communication with one another, presumably at the paranodal junctional complex. This communication was viewed as vital to the stability and maintenance of myelin. We found some clear vesi- cles in axoplasm near the Ranvier node and speculated that there were endocyto- sis and exocytosis in paranodal region. This was a direct morphological evidence supporting metabolic coupling between axons and sheeth cells.

Purpose To evaluate renal function recovery state with color Doppler ultrasound before and after ultrasonic pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy under percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Materials and Methods 79 patients with 81 kidneys with upper urinary tract stones underwent ultrasonic pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy under percutaneous nephrolithotomy, renal parenchymal thickness, renal collecting system separation degree and renal arterial resistance index (RI) were measured with color Doppler ultrasound before and after the operation, subjects were divided into renal dysfunction group (both preoperative and postoperative GFR <20 ml/min, the difference <20 ml/min), renal function significantly improved group (postoperative GFR greater than preoperative, the difference>20 ml/min), renal function significantly impaired group (postoperative GFR less than preoperative GFR, the difference>20 ml/min) and no significant improvement group (both preoperative and postoperative GFR were >20 ml/min, the difference <20 ml/min) according to the preoperative and postoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR) difference. Renal parenchymal thickness, renal collecting system separation degree and renal artery RI of each group were compared, and their correlation with GFR was analyzed. Results Statistically significant differences (F=129.750, 110.953, 45.411, 18.530, 18.904, 12.565, 27.291, 24.263; P<0.05) were detected in all the four groups between preoperative and postoperative renal parenchymal thickness, renal collecting system separation degree, interlobar renal artery (IRA) and main renal artery (MRA) RI. There was a significant positive correlation (r=0.916, P<0.05) between renal parenchymal thickness and pre-and post-lithotripsy GFR, and a significant negative correlation (r=-0.886,-0.903,-0.923;P<0.05) between renal collecting system separation degree, IRA and MRA RI with pre-and post-lithotripsy GFR. The sensitivity and specificity were 93.4%and 97.3%, respectively when taking renal parenchymal thickness<0.32 cm, renal collecting system separation degree >4.27 cm, IRA RI and MRA RI>0.8 as diagnostic standard for kidney dysfunction; and the sensitivity and specificity were 87.4% and 85.7%respectively when taking IRA RI<0.72 as diagnostic standard for renal function improvement. Conclusion Renal parenchymal thickness <0.32 cm, renal collecting system separation degree >4.27 cm, IRA and MRA RI >0.8, and IRA RI <0.72 can be regarded as clinical reference standard for renal function prognosis of kidney dysfunction and hypo-functional before conducting ultrasonic pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy under percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
