ObjectiveTo study possible mechanism through investigating the pathological and ultrastructural characters of secondary injury to perihematoma in intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) rats.MethodsSprague Dawley male rats were subjected to ICH models. They were randomly divided into test group and control group. The rats in the test group were divided into 7 subgroups at 1h,3h,12h,24h,48h,72h and 7d after ICH; while those in control group were divided into 3 subgroups at 3h,24h,72h after saline injection. Each subgroup contained 5 rats. 2 rats from each group were stained by 2% triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC) to observe the pathological change.3 rats were picked up from each group to do optical microscope and electric microscope investigation on perihematoma tissue and ipsilateral cortex.ResultsHematoma tissue was demonstrated as black brown by TTC staining, no white infarcted area was detected around hematoma. In addition, there was a transitional zone between hematoma and normal tissue under microscopy; the involved tissue looked loose with varied edematous cells. Astrocytes appeared swollen and neural cells looked degenerated and necrosis. Meanwhile, capillary hyperplasia around hematoma with foot plate swollen were detected, no remarkable neural cells change was observed. 24 h after blood injection, astrocytes started to swell, part of them became degenerated and necrosis. Neural cells appeared mild degenerated and blood brain barrier were destroyed. 72 h after ICH, astrocytes showed highly swollen with neural cells degenerated.ConclusionSecondary injury to perihematoma has been identified and the pathological and ultrastructural changes have been observed.

Objective To compare the infectivity between laboratory adapted human inununodefi- ciency virus(HIV-1) and primary HIV-1 isolates for different mucosal epithelial cell lines. Methods Mu-cosal epithelial cells Caco-2, T-84, HeLa and lymphocyte MT-4 were infected with laboratory adapted HIV-1 SF33 and 2 primary HIV-1 isolates (02010561, 02010141). Culture supernatant and cells were collected respectively on 3-4 days interval after virus inoculation. The former was tested for HIV-1 antigen P24 level and viral load, and the latter was tested for total viral DNA and integrated viral DNA. Results All 3 virus strains could infect MT-4 cells and integrate into their genome. Only HIV-1 SF33 could infect Caco-2 cells but could not integrate into their genomic DNA. Both HIV-1 SF33 and 02010561 infected HeLa cells but only integration of HIV-1 SF33 was detected. All the 3 HIV-1 strains infected T-84 cells but only the integra-tion of HIV-1 SF33 and 02010141 was observed. Conclusion Although laboratory adapted and primary HIV-1 strains are able to infect human mucosal epithelial cell lines, transient or productive infection estab-lished in different mucosal epithelial cells is dependent on the character of cells and virus strains.

Objective To investigate MR imaging features of femoral marrow in treated ?-thalassemia major.Methods MR imaging of the proximal femoral marrow was performed in 35 cases of ?-thalassemia major and 45 age-and sex-matched normal children as control.Coronal images of femoral marrow with the techniques of spin echo and fast field echo(FFE)were obtained.On T_1-weighted imaging the red and yellow femoral marrow were judged and marrow distribution was classified into five groups.The hemosiderosis of marrow was judged on the basis of signal intensity of marrow on FFE imaging.The marrow distribution classification and the hemosiderosis on MR imaging were correlated with clinical features.Results On FFE,marrow hemosiderosis occurred in 15 patients with a marked hypo-intensity signal and was related to the age(P=0.032).On T_1-weighted imaging,the femoral marrow in 35 patients was classified as groupⅢand IV,while the marrow distribution was groupⅠorⅡin all normal children,there was statistically significant difference(P

Feedback for teaching refers to the mutual transmission and interaction of various information between teaching and learning in teaching process,and is an inevitable result and objective existence of teaching in which teachers and students participate.Effective feedback for teaching is characterized by timely,comprehensive and authentic.Teachers can continuously modify teaching per formance through the feedback of students;the feedback of teaching by students is reflected in examination performance,which really reflects the idea that teaching benefits teachers as well as students.Clinical comprehensive course of eight-year program students is an important bridge between basic medicine and clinical medicine,and the foundation of teaching clinical medicine.Feedback for teaching was applied in students of academic year 2011 from the Department of Surgery of Clinical College in Pekjing Union Medical College,and teaching approach was adjusted in time,contributing to good teaching effectiveness.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of different surgery methods on early hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH)in basal ganglia region in elderly patients and on prognostic factors analysis.Methods 89 elderly patients with early HICH were randomly divided into four groups according to surgery methods and whether their ICP was monitored.Group A(n=21)was given minimally invasive hematoma drainage,group B(n=23)was given small bone window for removal of hematoma,group C(n=21)and group D(n=24)was given ICP monitoring and corresponding management of ICP on the basis of group A and group B,respectively.The changes of intracranial pressure before and after operation,prognosis and post-operative complications were compared.Results The intracranial pressure was significantly decreased at 3rd day,7th day after operation in group C and D as compared with those in group A and B at the same time points(F=11.76,P<0.05),and the score of GCS was also higher in group C and D at 7th day after operation than in group A,B at the same time points(F=4.72,P<0.05).At 14th and 28th day after operation,the score of GCS was higher in group C than in group A and B(F=19.24,P<0.05),and higher in group C than in group D at 28th day after operation(F=22.26,P<0.05).The dosage of mannitol was significantly lower in group C and group D than in group A and group B(F=18.87,P<0.05).The incidence rate of post-operative complications was 14.3% in group C vs.28.6% in group A(P<0.05)and 20.8% in group D vs.47.8% in group B(χ2=7.04,P<0.05).The proportion of a good recovery and a light disability was significantly higher in group C and D(76.2% and 75.0%)than in group A and B(42.9% and 39.1%)respectively(χ2=14.99,all P<0.05).Conclusions Minimally invasive hematoma drainage shows the advantages of small trauma and a few complications for the treatment of elderly patients with early HICH,and its combination with ICP can early change intracranial pressure and further improves the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of tumor necorisis factor related apoptosis induled ligand receptor(TRAILR) in human craniopharyngioma.Methods The expression of TRAILR was determined by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization in 24 samples of craniopharyngioma and 16 samples of normal brain tissue.Results With low decoy receptor(DcR) expression in partial craniopharyngioma cells and low death receptor(DR) expression in partial normal brain cells,DR was expressed highly in all craniopharyngioma samples while DcR in most normal brain tissue. High DR expression and low DcR expression in craniopharyngioma tissue differed from low DR expression and high DcR expression in normal brain tissue(P
