AIM: To study the expression of type Ⅰtransforming growth factor ?(T?R-Ⅰ)in renal cortex in streptozotocin-induced type Ⅱ diabetic mellitus and the regulation of valsartan. METHODS: The rat models of type Ⅱ diabetic rats were made. At the end of the 20th weeks,the kidneys were taken out to measure the expression of T?R-ⅠmRNA by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The expression of T?R-ⅠmRNA in diabetic rats without any therapy ( 0.72? 0.14) was higher than that in control ( 0.26? 0.12) (P

0. 05), respectively. Conclusion: Repeated +Gz stress may disorder the ratio of ET and NO. This imbalance may be one of the causes which lead to pathology changes in masseter musscles.

Aim To study the effect of silymarin on proliferation and apoptosis of human osteosarcoma saos-2 cells and to explore its possible mechanisms .Meth-ods Control group and different concentration groups of silymarin were set , and Saos-2 cells were treated with silymarin .Celluar morphologic changes were ob-served by inverted phase contrast microscope .Prolifer-ation of cells was tested CCK-8 assay .Apoptosis rate of cells was analyzed by flow cytometry . ERK1/2、p-ERK1/2 and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression were measured by Western blot .Results Silymarin inhibi-ted the proliferation of Saos-2 cells in a time-dependent and concentration-dependent manner . Silymarin in-duced the apoptosis of Saos-2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner . Silymarin decreased p-ERK1/2 protein expression and increased cleaved caspase-3 protein expression in a concentration-dependent man-ner, while ERK1/2 protein expression had no obvious change.Conculsions Silymarin can inhibit the prolif-eration of human osteosarcoma saos-2 cells and induce apoptosis of them , and the mechanism may be related to inhibition of ERK signaling pathway and upregulated caspase-3 protein expression .

Objective To probe into the effect of the enteral nutrition added with lactobacillus on gastric bacteria of rats with severe brain injury. Methods Severe brain injury was made in rats that were then fed with enteral nutrition (3-9 entire nutrients), lactobacillus (3-9 entire nutrients + lactobacillus) and synbiotics (3-9 entire nutrients + lactobacillus + fiber) respectively. Gastric body and gastric antrum mucosa were collected at day 1, 3 and 7 after injury to detect the change of the gastric bacteria. Results DCCE analysis showed less bacteria in sham operation group. On the first day after severe brain injury, the flora bands were increased remarkably but the number of bacteria was decreased in three groups. The similarity of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis ( DGGE) map patterns was 65% , 64% and 53% respectively in the enteral nutrition group, lactobacillus group and synbiotics group, with no significant difference in regard of the diversity index. On the third day after severe brain injury, the flora bands showed a tendency of decrease, with the similarity of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) map patterns for 72% , 58% and 62% respectively. The richness and diversity of total bacteria in the lactobacillus group was remarkably lower than that in the enteral nutrition group and synbiotics group (P＜0.01). On the seventh day after SHI, the flora bands were decreased in three groups, with the minimum number of the bacteria. The similarity of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis ( DGGE) map patterns was 61% , 51% and 58% respectively, with higher richness and diversity of total bacteria in the synbiotics group compared with the other groups. Conclusion Lactobacillus can help improve gastric bacteria disturbance of rats with severe brain injury. In the meantime, addition of the lactobacillus is better than addition of the synbiotics.

Dyslipoproteinemia is correlated with the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis and cardiocerebral vascular diseases. The metabolism of serum lipoprotein, however, is a complicated and ordered metabolic process. On one hand, every organ, tissue and even cell of the body participates in and affects the state of serum lipoprotein dynamic balance (SLDB) in different degrees. On the other hand, SLDB is a direct factor for maintaining the normality of whole vascular system, especially the vascular endothelium system. The serum lipoprotein dynamic imbalance, as an inducement or even etiological factor, can bring about various clinical diseases. Therefore, integrated analysis is needed to appropriately assess the state of SLDB. It is suggested that serum lipoprotein dynamic imbalance syndrome should be the key risk factor for those related diseases. Serum lipoprotein electrophoretogram can ideally express the state of SLDB and be taken as a new index for cognizing the serum lipid metabolism and the function of speen-qi to distribute Jing (Essonse) in the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. Practice has showed that concrete integration and bilateral development should be one of the main tasks in current researches of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Objective To explore the biological characteristics of mucinous adenocarcinoma deriving from chronic anal fistula and its diagnosis and treatment. Method A retrospective study was made to analyze clinical and pathological features of 4 cases of chronic anal fistula from which mucinous adenocarcinoma developed in our hospital from 1986 to 1997. Results There were three males and one female averaging 50 years old. All patients had chronic history of perianus abscess or anal fistula. This rare mucinous adenocarcinoma originated from the anal fistula and the associated anal glands. The canceration of anal fistula was due to chronic inflammation and scarring. The definitive diagnosis of the carcinoma depends on biopsy of the fistula and the related tumor. Metastasis to groin lymph nodes was found in two patients. Three cases underwent Miles operation with chemotherapy; two of the three patients also had resection of groin lymph nodes. Three patients survived more than five years. One patient treated only with chemotherapy died three months later. [WT5”HZ] Conclusion [WT5”BZ] Mucinous adenocarcinoma following chronic anal fistula is less malignant and has better prognosis compared to primary rectal and anal mucinous adenocarcinoma.

Objective To improve the quality of life of the female patient after radical cystectomy. Methods Modified radical cystectomy and detenia cecocolon neobladder were performed in 4 female patients with bladder cancer.Three patients underwent radical cystectomy with preservation of the anterior wall of vagina.One patient underwent radical cystectomy with resection of the anterior wall of vagina. Results The patients were followed-up for 6 to 30 months.All 4 women achieved acceptable daytime continence,and 3 out of 4 achieved nocturnal continence.The vesical capacity ranged from 305 to 438 ml and intravesical pressure at maximum capacity ranged from 18 to 45 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa);only 1 had nocturnal incontinence.The urinary dynamic examination showed the maximum urinary flow rate varied from 15.1 to 22.6 ml/s and residual urine volume ranged from 0 to 30 ml.The cystography showed there was no ureteral stenosis or reflux in the 4 patients.Their renal function and metabolism of electrolytes were normal. Conclusions Detenia cecocolon neobladder after modified radical cystectomy in selected women can obtain satisfactory continence and voiding results.
