To study the effect of vascular proliferation and reconstruction in chronic hepatitis B (CHB), immunohistochemical staining and in situ hybridization were used. The expression of transforming growth factor (TGF-?1) and smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) in livers of CHB were observed. The results showed that TGF-?1 and ?-SMA were related with degeneration of hepatocytes, intrahepatic vascular fibrosis and hepatic sinusoidal capillarization. The expression degree and range of TGF-?1 and ?-SMA increased with the exacerbation of liver lesion. These results suggest that vascular proliferation and reconstruction may play important roles during the process of CHB.

Objective To study the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) and bFGF mRNA in pathological process of hepatic vascular proliferation, reconstruction and fibrosis in the patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB). Methods Immunohistochemical staining(bFGF)and hybridization in situ(bFGF mRNA)were performed in 120 cases of liver tissues of CHB. Results Strongly positive expression ratio of bFGF on hepatic vessels and hepatic sinusoidal walls were increased with the exacerbation of degeneration, necrosis of hepatocytes and hepatic vascular diseases( P

Objective To study the relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and proliferation of hepatic blood vessel and fibrosis in hepatitis B (HB) patients. Methods The total RNA of VEGF was extracted from human liver tissues, and VEGF mRNA probe was acquired by RT-PCR. It was then labeled on hepatic tissues of 160 patients with HB and 10 healthy individuals (control group). Immunohistochemistry of VEGF was performed at the same time. Results The results of hybridization in situ showed that VEGF mRNA was negative in the control group. While in the HB groups, VEGF mRNA was located in the hepatic sinusoids, Disse′s space and hepatocyte cytoplast around the dilated sinusoids. Immunohistochemistry showed that VEGF was expressed in three patterns: the cytoplasm, sinusoid membrane, and sinusoidal endothelium. The expression strength and distribution range of VEGF were closely related with the grading and staging of HB, hepatic vascular inflammation, destruction, obstruction, proliferation and fibrosis. There was remarkable difference between different liver pathological changes (P

Objective To study the relationship between vascular obstruction,inflammation and the pseudolobuli formation in liver tissues with chronic hepatitis B.Methods The liver biopsies from 1256 patients with chronic hepatitis B was observated by HE,histochemical,immunohistochemical and the electricity mirror techniqe.Results (1)The intrahepatic vascular inflammation and obstruction was a histopathological characteristics of liver cirrhosis of chronic hepatitis B;(2)The lesions of vascular inflammation caused the vascular obstruction and induced the proliferations of venous and fiber;(3)The blood vessel of hyperplasia revolved round the liver cell into the irregular cell circular(tiny node).The tiny node settled the composition base in the interest of pseudolobuli formation;(4)The blood vessel of hyperplasia once more inflammation,blocking,fiber deposit constituted the fiber brings,pseudolobuli formation.Conclusion The vascular obstruction,inflammation has a closely relationship with the pseudolobuli formation in liver tissues with chronic hepatitis.

ABSTRACT:In this study ,we aimed to analyze the transcription level of mitochondria gene Cytb in metacercariae ,larva‐30d ,larva‐60d ,adult ,and egg of Pagumogonimus skrjabini .The mRNA of metacercariae ,larva‐30d ,larva‐60d ,adult and egg of P .skrjabini were extracted with genomic extraction kit ,and transcripted reversely into cDNA .With 18SrDNA of Par‐agonimus westermani as an internal standard primer ,Cytb genes were amplified by real‐time PCR for establishing standard curves to evaluate the copy number of genes .Those quantitative analyses were reliable because the R value of standard curves was 0 .994 (>0 .98) ,and the melting curve showed a single peak .There were increasing trend of transcription of Cytb gene at metacercariae stage ,larva‐30d stage ,and larva‐60d stage .There were less transcription of Cytb gene at adult stage and no transcription at egg stage .There were differences about the transcriptional level of mitochondria Cytb gene at different stages of Pagumogonimus skrjabini ,and peaked at larva‐60d stage ,suggesting that Cytb gene may play a role in the development and migrating of larva .

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of the markers of pulmonary vascular endothelial cells (PVECs) after acute lung injury (ALI) induced by bone marrow extract (BME) injection in rabbits. METHODS: Thirty-one rabbits were randomized into control (CG, n=10) and experimental groups (EG, n=21). The rabbits in EG were injected with homogeneous bone marrow extract (0.35 ml/kg, 2 ml/h) at a slow and continuous rate through the jugular vein to establish the model of ALI. At 6 h after the injection, the number of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) in the blood, contents of granule membrane protein-140 (GMP-140), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the plasma and the content of GMP-140 in the pulmonary tissue were determined at various time intervals. Then the animals were killed and routine pathological examination and electron microscopy were performed to observe the changes in the pulmonary tissue. RESULTS: The levels of plasma GMP-140, ACE, ET-1 and CECs were significantly increased in the early stage (0.5 h) and remained higher for 6 h. The marked increase of plasma GMP-140 (3.25 times) in the early stage was negatively correlated to PaO(2), but positively to other parameters. IHC-staining showed that the GMP-140 on the surface of PVECs became weak. CONCLUSIONS: BME injection at slow and continuous rate can establish an acceptable model of ALI. Determination of plasma GMP-140 might be an important measure for the early surveillance and the evaluation of prognosis of ALI in clinical management of serious traffic accidents.

Objective To study the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of the bacterial strains isolated from lower respiratory tract in children,to provide evidence for better clinical management.Methods The medical data of children (0-5 years of age) with lower respiratory tract infection were retrospectively reviewed.The children were treated during the period from September 2014 to September 2016.Results Of the 4815 sputum samples collected from the lower respiratory tract of children,1582 (32.86%) had a positive bacterial culture.A total of 1614 strains of pathogens were identified.The most common bacterial pathogen was Haemophilus influenzae (9.66%),followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae (7.12%) and Moraxella catarrhalis (5.15%).The bacterial detection rate varied greatly with season and the age of children (P<0.01).H.influenzae,M.catarrhalis and S.pneumoniae isolates showed lower resistance rate to cefotaxime,all <20.0%.Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates showed lower resistance rate to cefotetan,imipenem and piperacillin tazobactam,all < 10%.Less than 20% of the S.aureus strains were resistant to oxacillin.Conclusions H.influenzae is the most frequently isolated pathogen from lower respiratory tract in children aged 0 to 5 years in Neijiang Sichuan Province,followed by S.pneumoniae and M.catarrhalis.The detection rate of bacterial pathogens varies with season and the age of children.Antimicrobial agents should be selected rationally based on the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing to reduce the occurrence of antibiotic resistance in clinical pathogens.
