A stereologic study of lamellar bodies within pulmonary alveolar type II cells in dogs with experimental acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis(group P)and in dogs inje- cted muscularly with choloroquine before inducing pancreatitis (group PI)was carried out.Our findings showed that volumerical density (Vv), surface density (Sv)and numerical density(Nv)of lamellar bodies were decreased by 29.06%,30.28% and 40.75% in the group P as compared with those in the control group (group N), respectively, and their Sv and Nv were decreased by 23.8% and 30.26% in comparison with those in the group PI.The results suggest that the lung injury resulting from acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis was characterized by alveolar surfactant System damage.Dramatical decrease in the number of the lamellar bodies affected the surface tension of alveoli in a certain degree, leading to atelectasis.There was a relationship between lung injury and the effect of PLA2(phospholipidase A2).Choloroquine might play a role in maintaining the number of lamellar bodies.

The trial of two-way referral enrolled 26 patients with hypertension, including 20 cases of refractory hypertension, 3 new cases and 3 cases of secondary hypertension, the average length of follow-up was 22 d (10-35 d). The family physicians in Huaihaizhong Road Community Health Service Center communicated with specialists in the medical center (Ruijin hospital), appointments were made and medical information and other materials were sent in advance. When investigations and adjustment of medication were made, and the blood pressure was under control, patients were referred back to the community. This two-way referral system promoted the information exchanges between two side, doctors got prior knowledge about patients' condition and would spend more time with the patients; and patients' feeling of satisfaction and compliance of the treatment were increased. From our experiences, we suggest that the therapeutic regime made by the medical center should be feasible to the community, and more convenience should be given to the referred patients, so that the effectiveness and efficiency of the two-way referral can be further improved.

In this study an acute rejecting model of heterotopic rat heart-lung transplantation was established by using simplified technique of end to side anastomosis of donor ascending aorta with recipient abdominal aorta.The measurements of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)in serum of rats by Sandwich-ELISA method were taken on the 3rd,5th,7th days respectively after operation.The results of this study with histological examination showed that TNF-α serum levels were increased during acute rejection episodes.and it might be a useful indicator for diagnosis of allograft rejection.

To evaluate the fatigue behavior of nitinol stents, we used the finite element method to simulate the manufacture processes of nitinol stents, including expanding, annealing, crimping, and releasing procedure in applications of the clinical treatments. Meanwhile, we also studied the effect of the crown area dimension of stent on strain distribution. We then applied a fatigue diagram to investigate the fatigue characteristics of nitinol stents. The results showed that the maximum strain of all three stent structures, which had different crown area dimensions under vessel loads, located at the transition area between the crown and the strut, but comparable deformation appeared at the inner side of the crown area center. The cause, of these results was that the difference of the area moment of inertia determined by the crown dimension induced the difference of strain distribution in stent structure. Moreover, it can be drawn from the fatigue diagrams that the fatigue performance got the best result when the crown area dimension equaled to the intermediate value. The above results proved that the fatigue property of nitinol stent had a close relationship with the dimension of stent crown area, but there was no positive correlation.

Objectives: To investigate the characteristics and their functional significance of TMJ disc and its attachment. Methods: Each of the 23 TMJs from 12 cadavers were divided into quadrants sagitall y, and total 92 histological slices were obtained and stained with HE.The morpho logical characteristics of the samples was observed microscopically. Results: ①Both temporal posterior and anterior mandibualr attachment s were loose while mandibular posterior and anterior temporal attachments were d ense in which the fibers run anterior posteriorly. ②Fibers in the intermediate zone ran predominantly in anterior posterior direction while those in both ant erior and posterior bands were mixed with transverse fibers. ③At the posterior portion of disc there were 33 out of 92 slices from 6/12 cadavers (11/23 TMJs) s howed the structure of "the fourth band" which was featured by dense fibers alik e those of inner disc. There were 36 out of 92 slices from 6/12 cadavers (10/23 TMJs) showed the structure of "turned fibers" which was featured by a sudden tu rning of fibers from the thick posterior band back and downward, providing an angle like sign. Conclusions: There is great difference o f fiber direction in various parts of disc and its attachments, reflecting the functional demands.

Objective Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (AM-MSCs) transplantation and to investigate the effect of propofol treatment, recovery of brain injury in rats. Methods 80 SD rats, male and female, weight 300-350 g. Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells cultured in vitro and recovery (CM-Dil) before transplantation standby. The fluid percussion brain injury device, give 2.5-3.0 ATM hydraulic impact, severe fluid percussion brain injury model was made. After injury 6h give corresponding treatment which were randomly divided into 4 groups: injury group (medium injection group), AM-MSCs transplantation group and propofol group, AM-MSCs + propofol group. The number of positive cells in each group was observed under the fluorescence microscope using CM-Dil markers. 4 weeks after transplantation, 6 rats were randomly executed, and RT-PCR and Blot Western were used to detect the changes of GAP-43, AQP4 gene expression and protein synthesis in brain tissues. After transplantation, 24 h, 3 days and 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks for animal neurological deficit score, in 4 weeks after transplantation of Morris water maze (Morris Water Maze, MWM) test. They were killed after four weeks by immunohistochemistry, HE staining. Results Number of CM-DIL positive cell was the most in AM-MSCs + propofol group, which was in propofol group and AM-MSCs transplantation group were lower than that in the AM-MSCs + propofol group, which in injury group was the least, and the differences among the groups had statistically significant (P<0.05). 4 weeks after transplantation, AQP4 and its mRNA expression of brain damage surrounding tissue in injury group were higher than those in AM-MSCs transplantation group and propofol group; which in AM-MSCs transplantation group and propofol group was higher than those in AM-MSCs + propofol group (P< 0.05); GAP-43 protein and mRNA expression in injury group were lower than those in AM-MSCs transplantation group and propofol group, which in AM-MSCs transplantation group and propofol group were lower than those in AM-MSCs + propofol group (P<0.05). 1 weeks after transplantation, rat nerve dysfunction score in AM-MSCs + propofol group was lower than that in propofol group and AM-MSCs transplantation group; which in propofol group and AM-MSCs transplantation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The times of crossing platform in AM-MSCs + propofol group was higher than that in propofol group and AM-MSCs transplantation group, significantly higher than that in the injury group (P<0.01). The pathological section was observed 4 weeks after injury, there was no axonal passage in the injury group. In propofol group and AM-MSCs transplantation group, a few axonal like structures were observed, more axonal like structures were observed in AM-MSCs + propofol group. Conclusion Propofol combined with human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells transplantation can significantly improve the neurological function of rats with brain injury.
