Objective:To study the change of immunological response and cell proliferation in breast tissues augmented by polyacrylamide hydrogel injection(PHI).Methods:The expression of CD68,CD25 and PCNA in 20 breast tissues with indurations,12 without indurations after breast augmentation by PHI,and 10 normal breast tissues was examined by immunohistochemistry P-V6000; analysis was also done by H-E staining.Results:Hyperplasia of fibrous tissue and infiltration of inflammatory cells and macrophages were found in the breast and adjacent tissues 3-8 years after PHI.Positive cells of CD68,CD25 and PCNA hardly existed in the normal tissues,but the breast tissues around the polyacrylamide hydrogel had many positive cells of CD68 and PCNA,especially in cases with indurations;there were significant differences between the 3 groups(P

Objective To explore the morphological characteristics of Barrett's esophagus under confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE).Methods A total of 112 patients with suspected Barrett's esophagus (BE) under endoscopy were enrolled in this study.The lower esophageal columnar mucosa was examined with CLE to real-time forecast the histological type and extent of intestinal metaplasia of BE,followed by mucosal biopsies and histopathological examination in inspected area.The relationship between the features under common endoscopy or CLE and histopathological diagnosis was analyzed.Results A total of 94 patients were diagnosed as BE.Island type is the most common type under common endoscopy (54.3％),and the incidence of short-segment BE was higher than that of longsegment BE (86.2 ％ vs 13.8 ％).Specialized intestinal metaplasia,cardiac and fundic epithelium can be distinguished under CLE,and the accuracy was 94.7％,89.4％ and 91.5％ respectively.The histopathological examination in targeted biopsy specimens indicated that the proportion of intestinal metaplasia was higher in long-segment BE (9/13) than that of short-segment BE (33.3 ％,x2 =4.684,P=0.039),and the proportion of intestinal metaplasia was higher in circumferential(11/17) and tongue-like BE (65.4％) than that of island type (15.7％,x2 =15.217 and 19.399 respectively,P＜0.01).There were no significant difference in the extent of intestinal metaplasia among island type,circumferential type and tongue-like type in short-segment and long-segment BE.Conclusions The histological type of BE can be accurately distinguished with CLE.The most common type of BE is island type.The incidence of intestinal metaplasia is higher in circumferential and tongue-like type.The incidence of intestinal metaplasia is higher in long-segment BE than that of short-segment BE.

Neuronal α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are the most widespread subtypes in central nervous system, α4β2 nAChRs mainly exist in procerebrum, parietal lobe cortex, temporal lobe cortex, hippocampus, basal ganglion and cerebellum. Researches on gene knock-out mice have demonstrated that α4β2 receptors participate in the development, aging, neuron survival, pain, and learning and memory, and are also involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid release and dopaminergic function. Studies have disclosed that α4β2 nAChRs relate to the development of variety of neurological diseases, including pain, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum and bile from victims attacked by infantile hepatitis syndrome(IHS).Methods The constituents from 42 IHS subjects and 16 controls,including total bilirubin(TB),direct bilirubin(DB),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),glutamyltranspeptidase(?-GT),total bile acid(TBA),interleukin 6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF-? )both in bile and serum,were assayed by fully-auto chemistry analyzer and ELISA,respectively.The subjects of IHS were divided into cholestasis group and hepatitis group.Results Of IHS group,the values of serumal TB,DB,ALT,?-GT,TBA,IL-6 and TNF-? were higher than those of control(P_a
