Objective To explore the approaches to improve the detection of early gastric and precancerous lesions for basic level hospi-tals. Methods The 72 patients with abnormal gastric mucosa observed by gastroscope arranged with pathology after acetic acid-indigo car-mine dyeing were considered as the dyeing group, and 68 patients with abnormal gastric mucosa observed by gastroscope directly arranged with pathology were considered as the control group. The dyeing conditions of gastric mucosa were observed and compared to pathology detec-tion. The detection rate of early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in the two groups were compared. Results After acetic acid-indigo carmine dyeing, there were 16. 7% of demonstrated discoloration, 63. 9% of poor dyeing, and 14. 3% of even dyeing. The detection rate of early gastric cancer and high grade intraepithelial neoplasia in patients with mucosa discoloration (91. 7%) was obviously higher than that in patients with poor dyeing (8. 6%) or even dyeing (0. 0%). The detection rate of low grade intraepithelial neoplasia or intestinal metaplasia in patients with poor dyeing (82. 6%) was obviously higher than that in patients with mucosa discoloration (8. 3%) or even dyeing (14. 3%). The detection rate of early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in dyeing group (13. 9%,63. 9%) was obviously higher than that in control group (2. 9%,29. 4%). Conclusion The acid-indigo carmine dyeing could increase the diagnosis of early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions in basic level hospital. It is adaptable to extend approach in basic level hospital for its low cost and simple operation.

Objective: To explore the effects of different doses of Zn on the expression of metallo- thionein(MT) isoforms in hippocampus, olfactory bulb, diencephalon and cortex in stress rats. Method: The animal model of psychological stress was developed by restraint for 4w. Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 8 groups: control group, Zn-deficient group, pair-fed group, Zn -supplemented group and their corresponding stress groups. The expressions of MTs and their mRNAs were detected by Western blot and RT-PCR respectively. Results: In Zn-deficient group, plasma zinc content was decreased, while in Zn -supplemented group slightly increased. Compared with Zn-deficient group, the stress Zn -deficient group had higher expressions of MTs and MT-1 mRNA, MT-3 mRNA in hippocampus, olfactory bulb, diencephalon and cortex. Expressions of MTs in Zn-supplemented group were increased, and much more in corresponding stress group. In addition, the levels of plasma cortisol, IL-6 and IL-1 were increased clearly in Zn-deficient group and stress groups. Moreover, MTs’ productions were different in four brain domains,the highest in hippocampus and the lowest in diencephalon. Conclusion: Zn may affect the expressions of MTs and MT-1 mRNA, MT-3 mRNA in different regions of brain in stress rats. The higher production of MTs in hippocampus may be related to its role in body’s adaptation to stress. Cortisol, IL-6 and IL-1 may be involved in the modulation of expression of MTs.
