Objective To observe the expression of pancreatic K_(ATP) channels (Kir6.2/SUR1) in rats with chronic pancreatitis and explore the intervention of nateglinide on the changes.Methods Wistar rats were induced to suffer from chronic pancreatitis and then randomized into model group, nateglinide group and control group.Then OGTT of them were observed.RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Kir6.2 and SUR1 mRNA, and western blot to detect the expression of Kir6.2 and SUR1 proteins.Results Model rats displayed impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).The expression of Kir6.2 and SUR1 in model group decreased significantly(P<0.05), and nateglinide displayed up-reg-ulation to the expression in some degree.Conclusion The expression of pancreatic K_(ATP) channels in rats with chronic pancreatitis diminished, which might be the important mechanism of the development of pancreatogenic diabetes.Nateglinide can up-regulate the expression in some degree, which indicates that it may have latent effect of ameliorating the prognosis of patients with chronic pancreatitis.

The nature and functions of astrocytes (AS), the pathological changes and roles of AS after spinal cord injury, the experimental methods of inhibiting AS proliferation and glial scar formation, and so on, were reviewed. AS beneficially affects repairing injured spinal cord at different periods of differentiation. However, adult AS secreting the factors formed the chemical glial barrier which severely affects nerve regeneration and hinders axon extension. Because of the static, activated and proliferative AS tending to coexist after spinal cord injury, and complex factors of barrier formation, the current approach taken by a single method is difficult to effectively control the AS proliferation and glial scar formation.

Objective To study the effect of humic acid (HA) and soil on dissolution performance of depleted uranium (DU).Methods Using the static dissolve-adsorption experiment and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) to determine uranium concentration and 235U/238U isotope ratios of the samples at different time and study the dissolution of DU in water.Results The solubility of DU in water was reduced by 90% by adding HA.Soil could increase the solubility of DU in water by nearly 25%,adding an appropriate amount of HA could play a supporting role on the dissolution of DU,in this experiment adding 5% of HA was best.Conclusions Soil and HA could produce positive and negative impact on the solubility of DU in water,and the combined effect of the two relied on the complex absorption and complexation reactions of soil,HA and dissolved uranium ions.

Objective To evaluate in vivo tracking of swine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) la-beled with super paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) in intraportal transplantation by a clinical 1.5T MR.Methods MSCs were isolated from swine and cultured as well as expanded, which were then incuba-ted with SPIO (Feridex I. V.). Prussian blue staining was performed for showing intracelluar irons.To establish a swine model of acute liver necrosis, 0.5 g/kg of D-galactosamine was administrated to 10 pigs. MSCs(labeled cells in six, unlabeled cells in four)were injected into liver via portal veins. MR imaging was performed with a clinical 1.5T MR immediately before and at 6 h, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d after transplantation, respectively. Results Prussian blue staining of SPIO labeled MSCs could be effec-tively labeled and the labeling efficiency was almost 100%. Signal intensity loss in liver by SPIO labe-ling on FFE sequence persisted until 14 days after transplantation. Histological analysis by Prussian blue staining showed homing of labeled MSCs in liver after 14 days, primarily distributing in hepatic sinusoids and liver parenchyma. Conclusion MSCs can be labeled with SPIO in vitro successfully.MRI can monitor magnetically labeled MSCs transplanted into liver.

Objective To explore the optimal surgical treatment strategy of advanced gallbladder carcinoma (Nevin Ⅲ - Ⅴ ), with an aim to prolong patients' overall survival. Methods 17 patients with advanced gallbladder carcinoma were reviewed. Their preoperative diagnosis, surgical treatment, complications and survival time were studied. Results The diagnosis of advanced gallbladder carcinoma was done using different medical imaging techniques, but incorrect diagnosis still happened. There is a wide range of surgical treatment for advanced gallbladder carcinoma. Controversy still exists as whether lymph node resection should be done. In our patients, 35.3% of the 13a lymph nodes and 23. 5% of the 8 lymph nodes were positive for metastasis, which showed that lymph node resection should be carried out. Extended surgery was sometime required to ensure a R0 resection.The main complications of surgery were intraabdominal infection, bile leakage and paralytic ileus.Conclusion An aggressive surgical approach for advanced gallbladder carcinoma is required to ensure a R0 resection, which contributed to better overall survival.

Objective:To prepare for mAb of progesterone receptor. It would provide support for the immunohistochemistry behind. Methods:Target gene connected together with a carrier by seamless cloning method. The target protein that expression by inducing was collected. And with cell fusion method , the monoclonal antibodies were preparation. Then the mAb were detected by IHC. Results: The mAb ( clone 7C7 ) was detected and it found positive for the breast, uterine fibroid tissue, showed negative in colorectal cancer tissue, smooth muscle tissue, the goal of the claim were achieve. Conclusion: Finally, we found the method that prepare for mAb was far beyond our imagination. The result of IHC on different samples about mAb(7C7)obtained compliance with an-ticipation. Study on the difference between the PR-A and PR-B had significance.

Objective To evaluate the application value of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-fluorescence probe method in identifying genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV).Methods One hundred and sixty six serum samples from patients with chronic HCV infection were collected nationwide from March to June 2016.HCV Core-E1 gene region was amplified and sequenced by nested reverse transcription-PCR (RT nested-PCR)and genetic subtypes were analyzed by phylogenetic tree,meanwhile HCV genotypes were also determined by PCR-fluorescent probe method.Kappa test was used to compare the consistency of two methods.Results Among 166 samples detected by RT nested-PCR,the genotype of 66 samples (39.8%) was 1 b,34 (20.5%)was 2a,16 (9.6%)was 3a,27 was 3b (16.2%),23 (13.9%)was 6a.Two samples with 3b genotype detected by RT nested-PCR were identified as 1 b by PCR-fluorescent probe.The consistency rate of two methods was 98.7% (164 /166),there was no significant difference between two methods (χ2 =0.0492,P >0.05).Conclusion PCR-fluorescence probe method can accurately identify HCV genotypes and can be used in clinic.
