Objective To determine if aquaporin1 ( AQP1) and aquaporin5 ( AQP5) are expressed in the alveolar-capillary membrane in rats, and to investigate the changes of AQP1 and AQP5 expression in the rat with acute lung injury.Methods The distribution of AQP1 and AQP5 in alveolar capillary membrane was investigated by immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy with affinity-purified antibodies to human AQP1 and AQP5.The possibility that alveolar capillary membrane AQP1 and AQP5 undergo altered regulation was studied by a rat model established using intra-tracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Results Immunolabelling showed that AQP1 was stained primarily in the microvascular endothelium of normal lungs, while AQP5 was expressed in type I pneumocytes. Immunohistochemical analysis showed a significant decrease in the expression of AQP1 and AQP5 in injured lungs at 4 -48 h after LPS instillation.AQP1 protein was resumed partly at 24 h after LPS instillation and steroid administration, whereas AQP5 was unchanged.Conclusions The decreased expressions of AQP1 and AQP5 in injured lungs suggest that both of them may play a role in abnormal fluid transportation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application of rapid immunohistochemical staining technique in intraoperative frozen section diagnosis of thyroid neoplasm.Methods MaxVision one-step rapid immunohistochemical staining technique was used to detect the expression of CK19,HBME-1,and Gal-3 in frozen section of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)andthyroid benign lesions.MaxVision conventional immunohistochemistry of frozen remaining tissue was served as control.ResultsMaxVision one-step rapid immunohistochemical staining technique could be completed in 20 minutes.The positive localizations of three markers detected by rapid immunohistochemistry were similar to conventional immunohistochemistry, in general.The expression of CK19 was located in cytoplasm and cellular membrane.Gal-3 and HBME-1 were mainly detected in follicular luminal border and/or surface of papilla. The staining intensity in rapid immunohistochemistry was stronger than that in conventional immunohistochemistry. The positive rates of CK19,HBME-1,and Gal-3 by rapid immunohistochemistry in frozen sections were: 0 (0/28),10.7 ％ (3/28),0 (0/28),respectively,for benign lesions (nodular goiter,Hashimoto thyroiditis,thyroid adenoma); and 94.9 ％(37/39),92.3 ％ (36/39),92.3 ％ (36/39),respectively,for PTC.The expression of three markers between thyroid benign lesions and PTC had a significant difference (x2 =59.326,55.861,44.605,all P ＜ 0.001).In benign lesions,the rate of same case with two and more positive markers was 0,while in PTC it was 100 ％ and significantly different (x2 =67.000,P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionMaxVision one-step rapid immunohistochemical staining technique could be applied in intraoperative frozen section diagnosis.Detecting CK19,HBME-1,and Gal-3 expression in intraoperative frozen section has an auxiliary value for diagnosis of PTC.

Interleukin family plays an important role in cleating the infection of Toxoplasma gondii in the body of host such as destroying the infected cells,constructing immunity system and regulating immunity balance,and so on.Here we reviewed the role of several important interleukin family members so as to provide scientific basis for the treatment of Toxoplasma gondii infection.

Objective To evaluate retrospectively the difference and complementary of contrastenhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (CEMR) in early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma (SHCC)(≤2.0 cm) in patients with liver cirrhosis.Methods Forty-five patients with space-occupying lesions in cirrhotic livers were included, who were referred to CEUS and CEMR before operations. Numbers as well as diagnosis results were recorded respectively,and all cases were confirmed by pathological examination. Results Seventy-five lesions were found after CEUS and CEMR,with 69 and 58 respectively. Forty-one lesions were diagnosed pathologically as SHCC by surgery or needle biopsy. Overlapping exited in enhanced mode between CEUS and CEMR.Most SHCC displayed as mode Ⅰ "fast-in and fast-out" and mode Ⅱ "fast-in and slow-out" in both examination,which can be considered as a reliable criterion. The diagnostic accuracy of CEUS and CEMR was 77. 3% (58/75) and 62. 7% (44/75) respectively (0. 50＜ P ＜0. 75). Differences of the diagnostic accuracy of SHCC with atypical enhanced mode between CEMR and CEUS were statistically significant.Conclusions There is no significant difference of diagnostic accuracy of SHCC between CEMR and CEUS.Both of these two examing procedure have its own advantages for atypical lesions, which accounts for its diagnostic difference of small SHCC and benign lesions.

A 23-year-old man in remission from acute myeloblastic leukemia after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation developed peripheral neuropathy presenting as sciatic and peroneal nerve deficits. Electrophysiological tests localized the lesions to the left sciatic and common peroneal nerve. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed nerve thickening and enhancement, while a positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan demonstrated increased fluorodeoxyglucose uptake tracking along the nerve, suggesting peripheral nerve infiltration. This report demonstrates an unusual presentation of acute leukemia relapse presenting as focal neuropathy

A fragment sized 400bp of White spot syndrome virus（WS SV，formerly de signated NOSV），recovered from recombinant plasmid pAFD, was labeled with Digox igenin as a probe to detect dynamic distribution of WSSV within 120h and 72h in crawfishes（Cambarus proclarkii） inoculated WSSV by oral taking and injecti on r espectively. Stomach epithelium, intestine epithelium, heart, gill, haemolymph, muscle, hepatopancreas, hypoderm, connective tissue and ovary of infected crawfi shes were examined for WSSV. In both groups, WSSV was first detected in heamoly mph at 12h p.i. and then disappeared. Again it was detected at 96h p.i. only in oral infection group and maintained till 120h p.i., but it didn't appear at 72h p.i. in injection group. WSSV in heart, muscle was detected at 36h p.i. in oral infection group and 24h p.i. in injection group respectively, and then increased generally. In addition, WSSV in intestine epithelium, connective tissue, ovary of oral infection group and intestine epithelium, hypoderm, ovary of injection g roup could also be detected. In dead crawfishes after 120h and 72h p.i. in two groups, WSSV could be detected in all the examined tissues and it demonstrated t hat systemic infection occurred in the animales. The tissue containing more amo unts of WSSV was hypoderm in oral infection group, while intestine epithelium, g ill, hypoderm, ovary in injection infection group. It deduced that WSSV first a ppears in haemolymph and then goes into heart, muscle and other tissues and prol iferates in them. Once again, WSSV is released into heamolymph resulting in syst emic infection till crawfishes' death.

The cardiovascular circulation feedback control treatment instrument (CFCTI) is an automatic feedback control treatment system, which has the function of monitoring, alarming, trouble self-diagnosis and testing on the line in the closed loop. The instrument is designed based on the successful clinical experiences and the data are inputted into the computer in real-time through a pressure sensor and A/D card. User interface window is set up for the doctor's choosing different medicine. The orders are outputted to control the dose of medicine through the transfusion system. The response to medicine is updated continually. CFCTI can avoid the man-made errors and the long interval of sampling. Its reliability and accuracy in rescuing the critical patients are much higher than the traditional methods.
