BACKGROUND: The source of conspecific heart transplantation organ is very limited and deficiency becomes more and more obvious.OBJECTIVE: To observe the mechanical properties of ascending aorta at one-dimensional loading between healthy persons and swine of different months, so as to provide necessary biomechanical experimental basis for anastomosing blood vessel in heterogeneic heart transplantation from swine to human.DESIGN: Open design SETTING: Staff Room of Anatomy, Yunyang Medical College MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out at the Laboratory of Biomechanics, Yunyang Medical College from April 2002 to July 2003.Ascending aortas of human were obtained from the 6 adult male corpses without cardiovascular diseases, aged 18 to 30 years, who died for accident and donated by Yunyang Medical College. Totally 42 conspecific swine of 1 month old, with certification number of QN0202, were provided by Animal Experimental Center of Yunyang Medical College. They were raised with common foodstuff. The 42 swine were butchered respectively at 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 months, 6 swine once. After anatomical isolation and in situ measurement of respective in vivo length, ascending aorta from aorta valve ring base plane to initiation part of innominate artery was taken out (Artherosclerosis was not presented in all the samples) and divided into five equal segments, and the second and fourth segments were used for mechanical test of one-dimensional loading.METHODS: Six adult male corpses and ascending aorta of 42 swine of 1 to 7 months were performed mechanical test of one-dimensional loading.All the blood segments were pre-treated ten times with the same strain rate at room temperature 32 ℃(loading range from 0 to 0.5 N). Hysteresis disappeared after blood vessel was given periodic permanent loading and unloading, and repeated force-deformed data were obtained. Blood vessel was given loading and unloading once with the same loading range and strain rate. The recorded force-deformed data were used for computer analysis. Force and displacement were scaled with standard weight and percentage scale at the end of each time. Constant α and elastic modulus Dt/dλ were fitted from experimental data.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of the mechanical characteristic constant of ascending aorta at one-dimensional loading be tween human and swine of different months. ② Comparison of elastic mod ulus of ascending aorta at one -dimensional loading between human and swine of different months .RESULTS: ① Comparison of the mechanical characteristic constant of ascending aorta at one-dimensional loading between human and swine of different months: With the increase of month, although the material con stant of blood vessel of swine had a little increase, there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05). The mechanical material constant of ascending aorta at one-dimensional loading of human was basically familiar to that of swine of 1 to 7 months (P ＞ 0.05). ② Comparison of elastic modulus of ascend ing aorta at one -dimensional loading between human and swine of differ ent months: With the increase of months, elastic modulus of ascending aorta was significantly increased in swine of 7 months old in comparison with that in other months old (P ＜ 0.05); there was no significant difference of elastic modulus of corresponding blood vessel between human and swine of different months (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference in mechanical characteristic constant and elastic modulus of ascending aorta between human and swine of 1 to 7 months. Mechanical characteristics of corresponding blood vessel were similar in some segments at least. From the mechanical angle, anastomosis of corresponding ascending aorta in the process of heterogeneic heart transplantation from swine to human has certain feasibility.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of moxibustion plus anus-lifting exercise in preventing hemorrhoids relapse.Method Seventy eligible patients with mixed hemorrhoids whose symptoms had been released by conservative treatment were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 35 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by moxibustion plus anus-lifting exercise, while the control group only practiced anus-lifting exercise. The intervention was conducted successively for 4 weeks. Symptoms including hematochezia, bearing-down pain, prolapse, and size of hemorrhoid were scored in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th treatment weeks as well as the 4th week after the intervention, meanwhile, the relapse rates of the above symptoms were observed.Result In the 3rd treatment week, there were significant differences in comparing the scores of prolapse, bearing-down pain, and hemorrhoid size between the two groups (allP<0.05); in the 4th treatment week and the 4th week after the intervention, there were significant differences in comparing the scores of hematochezia, prolapse, bearing-down pain and hemorrhoid size between the two groups (allP<0.05); in the 4th week after the intervention, there were significant differences in comparing the relapse rates of hematochezia, bearing-down pain, prolapse and hemorrhoid size between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion plus anus-lifting exercise can produce a significant efficacy in preventing the hemorrhoids relapse.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and therapeutic strategies of patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV)genotype 6 in Guangxi area.Methods Serum samples were collected from 150 patients with serologic HCV RNA positive in Guangxi, China. Reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR)was employed to amplify HCV NS5B fragments and the DNA products were sequenced.The sequences obtained were compared with the sequences deposited in GenBank to construct a phylogenetic tree.Among the patients who accomplished 48-week treatment of interferon plus ribavirin and 24-week follow-up after stopping medication,10 cases were infected with genotype 6a and 28 cases with genotype 1 HCV.The virological responses were evaluated at week 4,week 12,week 24 of treatment and week 24 after the end of the treatment.Results Among all recruited 150 cases,21 (14.0%)cases were HCV genotype 6 including two subtypes 6a (n = 20 )and 6d (n = 1 ). Genotype 6 HCV mainly affected intravenous drug users, especially with age of ≤ 40 years old. Phylogenetic tree showed that there was very close evolutionary distance between HCV 6 strains of Guangxi and Hongkong,China strains (Y12083,DQ 480515)and Vietnam strain (EU246930).All of 10 HCV genotype 6a patients who completed 48 weeks of antiviral therapy achieved sustained virological response (SVR).The rate of SVR was higher than that of genotype 1 patients,but without statistically different significance (10/10 vs 75 .0%,P >0.05).Conclusion HCV genotype 6 in Guangxi area mainly affects young intravenous drug users with age of ≤ 40 years old,which has high homology with Hongkong,China and Vietnam standard strains.Patients with HCV 6 genotype infection treated with interferon plus ribavirin for 48 weeks usually achieve favorable SVR.

Objective To evaluate Janus kinase (JAKs) and Suppressors of cytokine signaling(SOCSs) expression in myocardium after endurance training. Methods 30 male Sprague-Dawley rats undertook 10 weeks grade treadmill training program and were sacrificed at 0 and 24 h respectively after the last exercise. JAK1,JAK2,JAK3 and SOCS1 ,SOCS2,SOCS6 expression in the myocardium were determined by im munohistochemistry method. Results The percentage of JAK1 positive cell significantly increased immediately after last running and recovered to the sedentary level 24 hrs after exercise;The percentage of JAK2 positive cell significantly increased immediately after last running and continuously at a higher level 24 hrs after exercise (P<0.01;P<0.05); JAK.3 showed no significant change either immediately or 24 hrs after exercise (P>0.05). The percentage of SOCS1 and SOCS2 positive cell also significantly increased both immediately and 24 hrs after exercise (P<0.01 ;P<0.05). However, the percentage of SOCS6 positive cell showed no significant change either immediately or 24 hrs after exercise(P>0.05). Conclusion Endurance training could induce different responses of JAK1,JAK2 and JAK3. The increased expressions of JAK1 and JAK2 might indicate the changes of JAK/STAT signal pathway in regulating myocardial function. The increased expressions of SOCS1 and SOCS2 after endurance training might indicate the increased exertion in regulating JAK/STAT signal pathway in cardiac muscle.

Pim kinases contribute to tumor formation and development of lymphoma, which shows enhanced DNA replication, DNA recombination and repair. Endothelial cells^(ECs) express all the three members of Pim kinase gene family. We hypothesized that DNA repair gene would regulate Pim expression in ECs. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were isolated and maintained in M199 culture medium. The cellular distribution of Pim-3 in ECs was determined by immunofluorescent staining. The siRNA fragments were synthesized and transfected by using Lipofectamine LTX. The total cellular RNA was extracted from the cells by using Trizol reagent. cDNAs were quantified by semi-quantity PCR. The effects of LY294002 and wortmannin on RNA stability in ECs were also examined. Our data showed that LY294002 and wortmannin, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and PI3K-like kinase inhibitors, increased Pim mRNA expression in ECs without altering the mRNA stability. RNA interference (RNAi) targeting DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) and ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) increased mRNA expression of Pim-3 and Pim-1, respectively. Silencing of Akt decreased Pim-1 instead of Pm-2 and Pim-3 gene expression in ECs. But etoposide, a nucleoside analogue, which could activate DNA-PKcs and ATM, increased Pim expression in ECs. Our study indicates that the expression of Pim kinases is physiologically related to DNA-PKcs and ATM in ECs.

The aim of this study was to detect the relationship between age and biomechanical properties in porcine common bile duct (CBD). The CBDs of 50 Hubei white pigs aged 3-12 months were obtained. The experiment of pressure-diameter was conducted on the biomechanical experiment stand for soft tissues, and then the elastic modulus and compliance were calculated. The materials were transversely extracted, refrigerated, and sliced up before HE staining. The diameter and wall thickness of the CBD were measured by a computer image analysis system. The results showed that there was statistically significant difference in regard to the compliance of the porcine CBDs of different months (F = 59.69, P = 0.00). The compliance of the porcine CBD increased gradually with monthly age. However, after the pigs being aged 10 months, the compliance decreased gradually with monthly age. The compliance of the CBD of pigs aged 7-10 months was not significantly different (P > 0.05), but the compliance of the CBDs of pigs' aged 3-6 months and 11-12 months was significantly lower than that of pigs aged 7-10 months (P < 0.01). The changes in elastic modulus of porcine CBD with age were opposed to the changes in compliance. The results of the present study suggests that the in biomechanical properties of pigs' CBDs change with their ages, and the CBDs of pigs aged 7-10 months have good compliance. Thus, for the pig-to-human liver xenotransplantation, the livers of pigs aged 7-10 months, being chosen as donators, may be more conducive to matching.

This study aims at the mechanism of foveola formation in bovine trabecular bone under fatigue process and its relation with biomechanical pathogenesis of senile osteoporosis. The scanning electron microscope equipped with fatigue stage was used to observe fatigue micro injury accumulation of cancellous bone. The massive foveola formation in the laminal bone of vertical trabeculae was found in the tensile fatigue test. There existed the collagen avulsion in the foveola. The massive foveola formation was also observed in the lamina bone of the horizontal trabeculae in the compressive fatigue test. The bone collagen fibers were protracted, debound with hydroxyapatite crystal, and then avulsed under tensile and bending stresses. Finally the retraction of the avulsed collagen fibers brought on the massive formation of foveolae in lamina bone. The mechanical capacity of bone also declined greatly. We infer that the direct mineralization of avulsed collagen and foveola in lamina bone would be one of the main processes of self repair in vivo, which brings on the increase in fragility and stiffness of trabeculae of senile osteoporotic bone along with the agelong accumulation of collagen fatigue injury and foveola formation in the lamina bone.
