1.Diagnosis of Abdominal Vascular Lesions by Color Doppler flow Imaging (Report of 4 Typical Cases)
Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 1992;0(00):-
Four cases of abdominal vascular lesions were diagnosed with color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI). These cases include aneurysm of portal vein, splenic aneurysm intrahepatic pseudoaneurysm and carvenous trasformation of portal vein, Above cases were misdiagnosed by B-mode ultrasonogram, but well detected by CDFI. Therefore, we consider that CDFI combined with B-mode ultrasonography, is a noninvasive and accurate method for the diagnosis of abdominal vascular lesion and its differential diagnosis with abnormal, but non-vascular, duct or chamber structure.

Methods The water samples were collected from the sites 0.5 meters below the water surface of input and output water area, the water area near the east and west bank of the Eling Lake, the center of the lake, and also from the sites 0.5 meters above the bottom of the lake .The water sampling was carried out in August 2005, October 2005 and May 2006. Country standard method was used to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of water samples. The sampling, determination and evaluation in the investigation were according to related standard regulations. Results The water temperature was 5.6 ℃, pH value was 8.49, the total amount of Ca2+ and Mg2+, suspended matter, chlorides, sulfate, DO, COD, BOD5, Cu2+ and Zn2+ were 95.4 mg/L, 87.0 mg/L, 45.0 mg/L, 80.0 mg/L, 7.1mg/L, 11.0 mg/L, 2.0 mg/L, 0.002 mg/L and 0.009 mg/L respectively. Conclusion All of the physical and chemical characteristics of the water samples meet the water quality criterion of the class ruled by GB 3838-2002, and the water can be used as source water.

Objective To determine the effect of Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 ( Nrf2 ) on acute hephrotoxicity induced by CCl4 in male rat.Methods 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and CCl4 group, 10 rats in each group, another 10 male Wistar rats were transgenic rats microinjection through the carrier, obtained the Nrf2-tk gene integration and specific transgenic rats, as the CCl4 +Nrf2 integration group.The groups was given 1%polysorbate 80 for 4 days,Then the CCl4 and CCl4 +Nrf2 integration group were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of CCl47.5 mg· kg-1 and were killed 24 h after CCl4 injection.The serum chemical parameters including asparate aminotransferase ( AST) ,alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) were measured.Also malonaldehyde ( MDA) ,glutathione ( GSH) ,oxidized glutathione ( GSSG) levels in the liver as well as glutathione ( GSH)/oxidized glutathione ( GSSG ) ratios were detected. Histopathologic changes in the liver were examined. Results F1generation TK transgenic rats in liver and testis and other tissues and organs were not detected the transcription of Nrf2-tk, indicating that Nrf2-tk expression in tissues is specific good.Nrf2 significantly reduced serum AST, ALT and LDH levels in a dose-dependent manner.The results of MDA levels and GSH/GSSG ratios in liver and kidney showed that Nrf2 reduced CCl4-induced hepatic lipid peroxidation,and ameliorated glutathione depletion.The histopathologic results showed that Nrf2 restrained liver and kidney damage induced by CCl4 .Conclusion Nrf2 can effectively protect male rat from acute hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity induced by CCl4 .

A simple and rapid method was established for the determination of the content of L-malic acid in fermentation liquor. This procedure includes six steps: (1) Use a microi- njector to inject the fermentation liquor quantitively on the filter paper, then use the chromatography solution (n-butanol: formic acid: water=8:1.5:1) for paper chromatography. (2) Atomize the display reagent (10ml 0.02?10~(-2) bromocresol green: 0.2ml 10?10~(-2) sodium hydroxide) on the chromatography paper. (3) Scissor off L-malic acid spots from the paper and put in into 5 ml distilled water for three hours. (4) In 1ml eluent, add 6 ml 96?10~(-2) sulphuric acid and 0.1ml 1.0?10~(-2) ?-naphthol.(5) Heat the reaction system in 100℃ water for sixty minutes. (6) After cooling determine the optical density at the wavelength 476 am in the colorimeter.

Objective To investigate the frequency of ocular complication and the quality of patient's life after radiation therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC ) . Methods 254 NPC patients who initially received radiation were followed and analysed. Visual acuity, automational visual field, slit-lamp microscopic findings, pattern visual evoked potential ( P-VEP ) and fundal findings were determined before, during and after radiation therapy. The severity of retinal impairment was assessed according to the international criteria on late tissue effects. Results The radiation dose was more than 70 Gy in 241 (94.9%)NPC patients, giving a radiation retinopathy incidence of 8. 7 % (22) patients after a mean of 46. 8 ? 14. 4 months. After being diagnosed as radiation retinopathy, 16 patients received combined-modality therapy of the modern medicine and Chinese traditional medicine. The disease condition was controlled in 56% (9) patients but progressed into optic neuropathy in 7 patients, 3 of whom developed radiation encephalopathy in 14 to 20 months after onset of retinopathy. The morbidity of radiation retinopathy was not associated with the patient' s age, but was related to the radiation dose. The retinopathy rate was as high as 13.6% in the 75-79 Gy group, which is significantly higher than 5.6% in the 70-74 Gy group ( P

AIM: To investigate the effects of Yiqi Huoxue prescription and Bushen Shengsui prescription on the expression of Notch-1 and Jagged1 protein in ischemic penumbra after local cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in intraluminal thread occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAO) rats. METHODS: The local cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model was established by intraluminal thread occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. The animals were randomly divided into pseudo surgery group (sham group), model (MCAO) group, Yiqi Huoxue prescription (MCAO+Yiqi Huoxue) and Bushen Shengsui prescription (MCAO+Bushen Shengsui) groups. Using the techniques of immuno-histochemical staining, the expression of Notch-1 and Jagged1 was observed at 1, 2 and 3 weeks in ischemic penumbra of the cortex of frontal and parietal lobe. RESULTS: A value and positive unit of Notch-1 and Jagged1 protein expression in model group were higher than those in sham in ischemic penumbra of the cortex of frontal or parietal lobe after local cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in MCAO rats (P<0.05 or P<0.01). A value and/or positive unit of the expression in Yiqi Huoxue prescription and Bushen Shengsui prescription groups were lower than those in model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Yiqi Huoxue prescription and Bushen Shengsui prescription affect the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells, depress Notch signal transduction after local cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in MCAO rats by inhibiting the expression of Notch-1and Jagged1 protein.

Objective The renin-angiotensin system ( RAS) is involved in myocardial anoxic injury .This study aimed to in-vestigate the expressions of AT 1-R, AT2-R, and angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE ) in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) under hypoxia. Methods Rat MSCs were isolated, cultured, and identified with CD29 and CD11b/c antibodies.The is-chemic injury model was established by exposing the MSCs to hypoxia and serum deprivation ( Hypoxia/SD) for 24 hours, while the control cells were cultured in L-DMEM with 10%FBS.The vitality and apoptosis of the cells were detected by trypan blue staining , CCK8 assay, and Annexin V-FITC staining.The mRNA and protein expressions of AT 1-R, AT2-R, and ACE were determined by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot , respectively. Results The positive rate of CD29 was >97%and that of CD11b/c was <1% in the MSCs.Compared with the control group, Hypoxia/SD significantly increased the rate of cell apoptosis ([6.73 ±0.78]%vs [19.93 ±4.92]%, P<0.01), decreased the rate of cell viability ([78.49 ±4.94]%vs [37.33 ±2.91]%, P<0.01), and up-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of AT 1-R, AT2-R, and ACE. Conclusion Hypoxia/SD activates the RAS in MSCs and improves the protective function of the cells against myocardial anoxic injury .
