Objective It is difficult to differentiate tumors in upper GI muscularis proporia, such as GI stromal tumors (GISTs) , leiomyomas and schwannomas. We performed EUS guided fine needle aspirations (FNA) and immunohistochemical evaluation of these tumors in upper GI muscularis proporia. Methods We selected 35 Patients with lesions in upper GI muscularis proporia by EGD and EUS. We assessed the shape , size, and position of the lesions and the status of metastasis. After excluding blood vessel between the lesions and the fine needle, EUS FNA were carried out and immunohistochemical staining for CD-117 (c-kit) , CD34 and smooth muscle actin ( SMA) was performed. Results All patients were performed EUS FNA and enough specimens were obtained in 31 patients. The other 4 failed, although we tried it for several times. Among the 31 patients, Cytology and immunohistochemisty demonstrated 21 GISTs and 10 leiomyomas. All the results were evaluated by surgery. The sensitivity is 88. 6% , and the speciality is 100%. No complication occurred. Conclusion EUS-guided FNA and immunohistochemical evaluation is an accurate method for diferential diagnosis of tumors in upper GI muscularis propria.

BACKGROUND:cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) is a key protein of memory, which is closely related to long-term memory. It wil provide a new way for the treatment of hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD) to study the effects of dental pulp stem cel s transplantation on the long-term behavior and CREB protein via the lateral ventricle in neonatal HIBD rats. OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes in long-term behavior and CREB protein expression in neonatal HIBD rats after human dental pulp stem cel transplantation, thereby providing scientific evidence for clinical treatment of neonatal HIBD. METHODS:Thirty-six healthy 7-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal, HIBD and cel transplantation group. The hypoxic ischemic brain damage models were established in the brain damage and cel transplantation groups. Twenty-four hours after HIBD, human dental pulp stem cel s were injected into the left lateral cerebral ventricle of rats in the cel transplantation group, total y 3×106 living cel s. Equal volume of normal saline was injected into the left lateral cerebral ventricle of rats in the normal control and HIBD groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average time to seek water, the average escape latency and escape distance of the human dental pulp stem cel s group were significantly shorter than those of hypoxic ischemic brain injury group (P<0.01), but longer than those in the normal group (P<0.01). Nissl staining showed that the cel s in the hippocampal CA1 region in human dental pulp stem cel s group were more regular, the number of cel s was significantly higher than that of hypoxic ischemic brain injury group, but stil significantly less than that in the normal group (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical staining results showed that the number of CREB positive cel s in human dental pulp stem cel s group was significantly higher than those in HIBD group, but stil significantly less than those in the normal group (P<0.01). It is suggested that human dental pulp stem cel s transplantation could promote the expression of CREB protein in the hippocampal CA1 region, to improve the long-term learning and memory ability of hypoxic ischemic neonatal rats, and thus repair HIBD.
