In the present study, 10 healthy adult dogs were used,8 for the experimental group and 2 for the normal group. We observed the histochemical and ultrastrac- tural changes of the enzymes in the pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex under the condition of acute ischemia. The result demonstrated that the activity of LDH, AcP and AchE was increased, while the activity of SDH, MAO, ATP ase was decreased. The ultrastructural chnges showed that in the acute ischemia gromp, there were enlargement perinucleus spaces of neurone, brisement, disappearance and vasicularization of the mitochondrial crista. This indicated that acute ischemia had an obvious effect on the histochcmistry of enzymes and the ultra- structure of the neurone in the cerebral cortex.

Objective To investigate the survival profile of the intradermally injected mouse autologous skin fibroblasts and the changes of the collagen fibers by using green fluorescent protein labeling and two-photon fluorescence microscopy. Methods The cultured cells were transfected by EGFP lentivirus, and then the cells were injected into the corresponding mouse skin. Biopsy was taken from the animals after 1 and 2 months. The specimens made serial frozen sections, the survival profile of the injected cells and the changes of the collagen fibers were observed by two-photon fluorescence microscopy. The collagenic area and dermal thickness were measured with image analysis software, and statistical analysis was also carried out. Results Two-photon fluorescence microscopy showed clear images of the injected cells and collagen fibers. Both the area of collagen fibers and the dermal thickness were significantly increased in injected cells after 2 months (P<0.05), however, there were no difference between injected cells and control after 1 mouth (P>0.05). Conclusions Autologous cultured fibroblasts could survive in a long time after transplantating into the skin, and collagen could be newly produced, the depth of dermis increases, which provides a possibility to treat mini-defects of the tissue.

Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma homocysteine with the genotype distribution of MTHFR and MTRR among Chinese Han women in Xiangtan. Methods MTHFR C677T, A1298C and MTRR A66G geno?typing was analyzed to detect the distribution of gene polymorphisms among 1 701 women from Xiangtan city then the data were compared with the rest of the Han women in Zibo, Zhengzhou, Yantai, Zhenjiang, Songzi, Huizhou, Qionghai. Plasma Hcy levels from 110 patients were measured and analyzed the correlation with gene polymorphisms. Results The frequency of MTHFR C677T genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 12.6%which is higher than Huizhou (10.9%) and Qionghai (6.1%) but lower than Zibo (43.6%), Zhengzhou (36.8%), Yantai (32.2%), Zhenjiang (21.8%) with statistically significant dif?ference (P<0.05). There is no significant different in MTHFR C677T between Xiangtan and Songzi. The frequency of MTH?FR A1298C genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 4.8%which is lower than Qionghai(7.1%)but higher than Zibo (1.4%),Zhengzhou(2.4%), Yantai(1.8%), Zhenjiang(3.5%)and Songzi(2.6%)with statistically significant difference. The frenquency of MTRR A66G genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 6.8%which is higher than Zibo (4.8%) but lower than Qionghai (9.3%) with statistically signifcant difference. Plasma Hcy concentration correlate with MTHFR C677T, Hcy concentration in TT population is higher than that in CT and CC population(μmol/L:8.52±2.01 vs 5.94±1.47 vs 5.71± 0.18);Plasma Hcy concentration also correlate with MTHFR A1298C and Hcy concentration in CC population is higher than AA and AC population(μmol/L:9.83 ± 2.26 vs 6.35 ± 2.13 vs 5.55 ± 1.75);Plasma Hcy concentration does not correlate with MTRR A66G. Conclusion The gene polymorphism of MTHFR C677T, A1298C and MTRR A66G among the Han women in Xiangtan was statistically different from other selected regions of China. Mutation in MTHFR C 677T and A1298C were associated with elevated plasma levels of Hcy.
