Objective To investigate the expressions and significance of p21 protein and K-ras protein in congenital biliary dilatation(CBD),and their relationship.Methods Surgical specimens of CBD were obtained during operation on 36 children from Jan.2000 to Sep.2007.Nine normal bile ducts specimens from miscarried fetus and children's corpse.The specimens were fixed in 40 g?L-1 formalin and embeded by paraffin,slice-fixed.SP immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of p21 protein and K-ras protein.Results The positive rate of K-ras protein was 13.8% in CBD,which was significantly higher than that in normal bile duct tissues.The positive rate of p21 protein was 55.6% in CBD,and 100% in normal bile duct tissues.p21 protein positive expression rate in CBD was significantly lower than that in normal bile duct tissues(P

Objective To increase the preoperative diagnosis rate,reform the operation and improve the prognosis in children with ganglio -nauroma.Methods Clinical data of 20 children with ganglioneuroma hospitalized in Tongji hospital of Huazhong university of science and technology from Nov.1986 to May.2006 were reviewed(male 9,female 11).The biological,clinical and pathological characteristics of patients were analyzed.Results Among these 20 patients,15 cases were discovered to have no clinical symtom.The B ultrasound showed low-echo in all 16 cases.Under CT scan,20 cases showed low to moderate density shadows,and the distinct enhancement in these tumors was noted with enhanced CT scan.Fourteen cases undergoing MRI all showed low signals in T1W1 and inhomogeneous high signals in T2W1.All patients underwent surgical operations,completely removed in 14 cases,partly in 4 cases, and biopsy was performed only in 2 cases.Fifteen cases were followed up from 7 months to 6 years,tumor recurrence happened only in 1 case.Conclusions Ganglioneuroma is mostly found in chest-abdominal sympathetic chain,it grows up slowly and seems to be innocent.The imaging data of B ultrasound,CT and MRI can give helpful information in the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma.We shall pay attention to the choice of incision and avoidance of injuring the important blood vessels during the operation.Children who have neuroblastoma cells should receive prophylactic chemoprophylaxis treatment and the result of long-time follow up is satisfactory.

Objective To explore the early diagnosis and treatment of congenital mesenteric hiatual hernia.Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 4 patients with congenital mesenteric hiatual hernia in Tongji hospital from Nov.2005 to Mar.2007,and combining lite-rature,the diagnosis and treatment of mesenteric hiatal hernia was summed up.Results Four patients were diagnosed in operation.One case was thought as adhesive intestinal obstruction before operation;two patients were on emergency operation and 2 patients were on time-elective operation;one patient preoperative CT scan may suggest mesenteric hiatal hernia;one case had partial resection of small intestinal,the others were replaced the intestine and fixed the defect.One patient occurred early septic shock;all of them had get well.Conclusions It′s hard to diagnose the congenital mesenteric hiatual hernia before operation.Abdomen CT examination and multislice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) help to diagnose.Early diagnosis and timely operation are the therapeutic key of congenital mesenteric hiatual heria.For the patients with recurrent abdominal pain,who was not confirmed with a variety of inspection,laparoscopic exploration can provide diagnosis,and can take the initiative to control the development of disease.

Objective To study the significance of the sample S/Co ratio when using a domestic reagent for anti-hepatitis C virus(HCV)antibody detection and to explore the procedure and standard of anti-HCV antibody diagnosis by using this domestic reagent.Methods Anti-HCV antibody was detected in 295 000 blood donors by a domestic anti-HCV reagent with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method and the reactive samples were tested again by ortho anti-HCV antibody reagent.The samples which anti-HCV antibodies were determined as positive by ortho anti-HCV rea- gent were examined by recombinant immunoblot assay(RIBA)reagent and 106 samples of them were also tested for HCV RNA.Results Six hundred and eighty-one samples were reactive in 295 000 samples screened by the domestic ELISA reagent,the reactive ratio was 0.23 %.Among the reactive samples screened by the domestic ELISA reagent,367 samples were determined as positive by ortho anti-HCV reagent while 66.2% of them showed a S/Co ratio≥3.8.The consistency rate between positive results determined by the domestic reagent and RIBA reagent respectively was 53.8%.For the samples showing S/Co ratio≥3.8 by ortho anti-HCV reagent,94.2% had a S/Co ratio≥8.0 when using the domestic ELISA reagent,while the percentage of samples showing S/Co ratio

An immunopotentiating compound has been isolated from the metabolites of Bacillus mycoides under the bioassay-guided isolation and identification for its immunopotentiating effect and chemical structure. The isolation and purification of the compound were consisted of macroporous adsorptive resins, silicagel chromatographic column and Sephadex G-200 chromatographic column. The immunopotentiating effect was assayed in every step isolation. At last, the only substance having the strongest immunopotentiating effect had been isolated and purified. Through the procedure consisiting of Ultra-Violet spectroscopy (UV), IR (Infrared Radiation), Time of Flight Mass Spectrum (TOF-MS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Element analysis, the possible structure of compound M had been identified as cyclic (Pro-Gly) dipeptide (C7H10O2N2) (Diketopiperazine). To be determined the immunopotentiating effect, the mice were treated by intraperitoneal injection of cyclic (Pro-Gly) dipeptide in the treatment group and physiologic saline in the control group. At the 14th day after the injection, the SOD activity and the phagocytosis activities reached the peak value and were significantly higher than those in control group. At the 21st day, the bactericidal activity reached peak value and was significantly higher than that in the control group. From the above results, we concluded that the main active component enhancing the immunity of mice was cyclic (Pro-Gly) dipeptide in the metabolism of Bacillus mycoides.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of catecholamine hormone on the blood and brain of heroin addicts.

METHODSRats were divided into three groups and treated with the glucose (control group), the heroin (im) (heroin group), and the combination of the intramuscular injection of reserpine and heroin (reserpine group). Changes in the levels of the dopamine (DA), cAMP, and cGMP were detected by the radioimmunoassay (RIA) method in the blood and brain tissue.

RESULTSNo significant withdrawal symptoms were observed in the reserpine group. Compared with the control and heroin groups, the blood cAMP levels were increased by 35.36% and 15.53% in the reserpine group, respectively; the cAMP levels in the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA), prefrontal cortex (PFC), and hippocampus (Hipp) were increased by 24.08% & 8.53%, 15.66% & 8.13%, and 21.95% & 8.40%, respectively. While compared to the control and heroin groups, the DA levels of the PFC, Hipp, striatum, and nucleus accumbens (NAc) were significantly reduced in the reserpine group, decreasing by 74.09% & 82.86%, 81.06% & 82.23%, 91.62% & 86.55% and 84.35% & 90.63%, respectively. The concentrations of cGMP of the brain tissues in the reserpine group were lower than those in the control group. In addition, the neural electrophysiological testing showed that the electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), and muscle spindle discharge diagram of rats in both the reserpine and heroin groups were apparently changed.

CONCLUSIONCatecholamine hormone plays an important role in heroin addiction.
