0.05)between left AF(238,36.62%)and right AF(220,33.85%).More HIZs(446,68.62%)were located in inferior AF than that of middle or superior AF.The motion segments from L3、4 to L5S1 were the region that the HIZ occurred frequently and it could present in single segment or multi-segment.In anterior AF,HIZs often occurred at L2、3 and/or L3、4 discs.Whereas,they usually developed at L4、5 and/or L5S1 in posterior AF. Conclusion The incidence rate of HIZ in lumbar disc is higher.Posterior and inferior AF of discs and lower motive segments have more risk of HIZs.It could develop in single motive segment or multi-segments at one time.

Objective To compare MSCT with routing X-ray, CT and appraise their applications to fractures in forensic identification. Methods366 cases which had got routing X-ray or CT examination were examined by thin slice scanning with MSCT and all of the data were processed with MPR, see-through and SSD method. Accurate diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis & underdiagnosis rate were calculated and analyzed by Chi-square test. ResultsThe accurate diagnosis rates of MSCT in nasal fracture, rib fracture, limb or joint fracture, orbital fracture and cranial fracture were higher than that of X-ray or routing CT (P0.05). The total accurate diagnosis rates of X-ray, routing CT and MSCT were 59.17%, 70.27% and 99.45%, respectively. There were significant differences (P

Objective To investigate the possible mechanisms of teratogenesis caused by passive smoking, temporospatial changes in surface carbohydrates of the embryonic neural epithelium and the mesenchyme around it were explored. Methods The pregnant golden hamsters were randomly divided into the treated group and the control groups. In the chamber made by ourself for passive smoking experiment, the animals of the treated group were exposed to smoke from embryonic day 4 to 7, 3 times per day for 4 consecutive days. At twelve o'clock and eighteen o'clock of embryonic day 8, eight o'clock of embryonic day 9 and eight o'clock of embryonic day 10 respectively, the pregnant golden hamsters of both treated group and control group were sacrificed, the uteri were removed and embedded routinely with paraffin, sectioned transversely in series. The sections of each group were stained with immunohistochemical ABC method and concannavalin agglutinin (ConA) and ulex europaeus agglutinin (UEA) were used as molecule probes to conduct the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the fibronectin and the related surface carbohydrates of the embryonic neural epithelium and the mesenchyme around it. Results During embryonic day 8 to10 of golden hamsters fibronectin reduced(F=30.168,P

Objective To explore the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in embryonic neuroepithelial cells in Golden hamster exposured to the teratogenic dose of alcohol. Methods The experimental pregnant golden hamsters were given ethanol through intraperitoneally injected, 5.8 g/kg body weight. The Bcl-2 and Bax expressions in neuroepithelial cells of experimental and control animals were detected with immunohistochemical and image analysis at 4,8,16,24,48 and 72 h time points after treatment. Results Bcl-2 and Bax proteins distributed in nuclear membranes and cytoplasm of the neuroepithelial cells as well as mesenchymal cells. In control groups, the expressions of these two kind proteins increased as the time passed at beginning, 16 hours after, came to the summit and then descended gradually. Compared with the control, the expressions of Bcl-2 in experimental groups were down-regulated, expressions of Bax were up-regulated except at 8 h time point. Conclusion Alcohol can induce down-regulation of the expression of Bcl-2 protein and up-regulation of the expression of bax protein, which may play a an important role in regulation of apoptosis in alcohol-induced neural tube malformation.

Objective: To investigate the influence of esculentoside A（EsA） on production of IL-1 and TNF by rabbit synovial cells induced by LPS. Methods: levels of IL-1 and TNF in the supernatant of rabbit synovial cell were determined by examining proliferation of thymic cells and by bioassay L929 cells as target cells, respectively. Results: EsA in 5-40 μg/ml could significantly inhibit the production of IL-1 and TNF from rabbit synovial cells induced by LPS. Conclusion: EsA can inhibit the production of IL-1 and TNF from synovial cells. It suggests that EsA may play a role in improving the rheumatoid arthritis.

AIM: To determine the effect of exogenous phosphocreatine (PCr) at different concentrations on transient outward potassium (Ito) current in rat ischemic ventricular mid-myocardial (M) cells and to explore the antiarrhythmia mechanism in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. METHODS: M cells were isolated enzymatically from left ventricular mid-myocardium of rats. Peak Ito current was recorded by patch-clamp technique in the whole-cell configuration when M cells were superfused with normal Tyrode solution,simple ischemic solution,and simulated ischemic solution containing PCr at concentrations of 5,10,20 and 30 mmol/L for 10 min. RESULTS: Peak Ito current density of M cells superfused with simple simulated ischemic solution was significantly reduced by (76.1±6.3)% (P<0.05) compared with M cells superfused with Tyrode solution. Ischemic solution containing 5,10,20 and 30 mmol/L PCr reduced peak Ito current density by (57.1±9.6)% (P<0.05),(40.3±10.3)% (P<0.05),(34.3±9.6)% (P<0.05) and (32.1±10.6)% (P<0.05),respectively. There was statistical difference among ischemic solution without PCr and containing PCr at concentrations of 5 and 10 mmol/L groups (P<0.05). No statistical difference among groups of 10,20 and 30 mmol/L PCr was observed (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: PCr reverses the inhibition of Ito current under ischemic condition in M cells,which may be the mechanism responsible for arrhythmia prevention in ischemic heart disease. PCr at concentrations of 0～10 mmol/L exerts significant dose-effect relationship.

Objective To study the characteristic of salvianolic acid(SA) binding to bovine serum albumin(BSA) and the structure-performance relationship.Methods The interactions between BSA and four natural SA(SAⅠ,rosmaric acid;SAⅡ,lithosperic acid;SAⅢ,salvianolic acid A;and SAⅣ,salvianolic acid B) were investigated by fluorescence and ultraviolet spectroscopy.Results The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by SA via forming SA-BSA complexes and non-radiation energy transfer.The parameters of SA-BSA binding process,such as the static apparent association constant KA,the number of binding site n,the efficiency of energy transfer E,the spatial distance r were obtained,and the thermodynamic constants ?G,?H,and ?S were calculated.Conclusion The results indicate that SAⅢ bounds to BSA mainly through a hydrophobic force and the other three SA-BSA interactions are mainly driven by hydrogen bond and Van der Waals' force.Y,a comprehensive binding parameter constructing from the equation Y=lg (KA?E?n/r),could be used to reflect the interaction extent of SA-BSA system.The Y value changes with the number of free phenolic hydroxyl and molecule volume and decreases in the order of SAⅢ→SAⅣ→SAⅡ→SAⅠ.The results from correlation analysis indicate that it could be possible to estimate SA-BSA binding extent from hydrophobic parameter clogP and topo-polar surface area per unit of molecular weight tPSA/Mr of SA molecule.
