The common, particular structure and the arrangement pattern of the retinula in the compound eye of the housefly Musca domestica have been investigated, and the structures of the retinula cells here been compared with an electron microscope under dark, bright and high intensity light adaptation condition.In general, the retinula of the compound eye is composed of eight retinula cells, but some retinula is composed of six, seven, or nine, ten retinula cells.The arrangement pattern of the retinula in the right, left compound eye and dorsal, ventral regions of the compound eye are the mirror image inversion. But the arrangement pattern of some retinula in the dorsal or ventral region is also the mirror image inversion.The greater part of pigment granules in the retinula cells No.1～6 move towards the rhabdomere, the pigment granules in the retinula cells No.7～8 do not move, but the pigment granules in the some retinula cells No.7～8 move towards the rhabdomere under high intensity light adaptation condition.

1. The central retinular cells R_7 in the compound eye of male housefly can be divided into two types which are called here R_(7a) and R_(7b) respectively. R_(7a) approximate many features of R_(1-6) cells, which have a larger, cell body, rhabdomere and axon, terminate in the first optic neuropil (lamina). R_(7b) approximate many features of R_8 cell and project directly to the second optic neuropil (medulla). 2. The central retinular cell R_(7a) in the compound eye of male housefly distribute mainly the dorsal region of the eye, there are a few of R_(7a) in the ventral region of the eye, which only distribute in the first and second row ommatidia under equatorial line, but not found in the compound eye of female housefly.

Objective To investigate the effects of inhibiting ubiquitin-proteasome pathway(UPP) on DNA synthesis and cell cycle in gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. Methods The SGC-7901 cells were treated with MG-132, a specific inhibitor of UPP. The effect of MG-132 on cells DNA synthesis was assayed by 3 H-thymidine( 3H-TdR)incorporation. Cell cycle was analysed by flow cytometry(FCM). Results After treated with MG-132, DNA synthesis of SGC-7901 cells was significantly inhibited, the ratio of G 0/G 1 phase cells increased, and the ratio of G 2/M phase and S phase cells decreased. Conclusions MG-132 can significantly inhibit DNA synthesis of gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 and induce G 1 blocking. The data indicated that inhibiting UPP may be a new strategy to treat gastric cancer.

Objective To study the expression of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine(TARC)in the kidney of MRL/lpr mice and to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of lupus nephritis.Methods The 24-hour urine protein of 4 MRL/lpr mice of 16 weeks of age and 4 age-and sex-matched BALB/c mice was measured.The expressions of TARC mRNA and protein in the kidneys of MRL/lpr mice and BALB/c mice were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot,respectively.Results The 24-hour urine protein and the expression level of TARC mRNA were significantly higher in MRL/lpr mice than in BALB/c mice(P＜0.05).The expression of TARC protein was detectable only in MRL/lpr mice.Conclusion The expression of TARC increases in the kidney of mice with systemic lupus erythematosus,suggesting that TARC may be involved in lupus nephritis in mice.

[Objective]To investigate the treatment of nonunion after Pilon fracture with fibula approach fixation of tibia and ankle joint fixation and its clinical efficacy.[Method]Six cases of nonunion after Pilon fracture were collected from 1999 to 2004,which included 4 males and 2 females,with the average age of 34.7 years(21~53 years).All fractures were found invasion to the tibia-fibula joint and ankle malformation.Fibula and tibia were opened from posterolateral approach and reconstruction plate was placed laterally on the fibula,with screws crossing the fibula into the tibia directly.Autogenous bone graft was used in fracture position and area between tibia and fibula to gain tibia-fibula fusion.[Result]All cases were followed up from 8 months to 4 years with the average of 22 months.Bone fusion were gained in 5 cases with the average time of 3.5 months.Plate broken was found in 1 case for too early weight bearing.[Conclusion]Fibula approach fixation of tibia and ankle joint fixation has advantages of promoting fracture healing,preventing complications,and correction joint malformation.It is a convenient and reliable method for clinical surgeons.

Objective To investigate angiographic manifestations and interventional treatment of renal arteriovenous fistulas. Methods Renal arterial angiographies were performed in 20 patients from multiple hospitals.These patients suffered from repeatedly intermittent hematuria,but ultrasound,KUB,IVU,CT and endoscopy could not contribute to the diagnosis.The angiographic manifestations and treating procedure were analyzed. Results All the 20 cases were diagnosed as renal arteriovenous fistula by means of angiography.According to the image manifestations,these cases were classified into three types:(1)deformed branches and shunt in 11 cases;(2)high discharge shunt without deformed banches in 4;(3)concealed shunt showed by superselective segmental artery angiography but negative by renal artery angiography in 5.All fistulas of the 20 cases were successfully embolized with different materials including gelfoam,sodium morrhuate,ethanol,PVA,TH-glue,coils,etc. Conclusions Superselective renal angiography and embolization are the most important and effective tools for diagnosis and treatment of renal arteriovenous fistula.

Objective To obtain the normal image and sectional anatomical data of the oculomotor nerve and its related arteries with MRI and plastination. Methods The optimal angles and the length of intracisternal segment of the oculomotor nerve were measured on multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images. Meanwhile, the relationship between the nerve and the basilar artery(BA), posterior cerebral artery(PCA), superior cerebellar artery(SCA) and posterior communicating artery(PCoA) were observed from the plastination slices, the original images, MPR and maximum intensity projections (MIP) images. Results MRI revealed the similar result corresponding to the plastination section in displaying the oculomotor nerve and its related arteries. The length of the intracisternal segment of the nerve was (14 4?2 15) mm and it formed an angle of (69.68?7.15)?with the posterior plane of the brain stem. The angle between the oculomotor nerve and the median sagittal plane was (24 44?4 64)?on the left and (24.44?5.06)?on the right. Shift of the BA was more likely found in aged individuals. Most of the PCA and SCA were close to the nerve,and a few of them compressed it, as for the PCoA, only the embryonic type was close to or compressed the nerve. Conclusion MRI is an accurate imaging technique for determination of the syntopy of the oculomotor nerve to its related arteries.
