Objective To explore the protective effect and mechanism of exogenous hydrogen sulfide ( H2 S) on pressure ulcer rats with ischemia/reperfusion ( I/R) injury. Methods Forty SD rarts were randomly divided into 4 groups,namely normal control group,I/R model group,low-dose H2 S intervention group and high-dose H2 S interven-tion group. Each group had 10 animals. The low-and the high-dose H2 S intervention groups were injected intraperitone-ally 10 and 30μmol/kg of sodium hydrosulfide ( NaHS) for 1 week,respectively;however,the normal control group and I/R model group were treated with same volume 9 g/L saline. Then,the normal control group did not sustain any pres-sure,but other 3 groups were pressurized. After 3 circulations of ischemia/reperfusion,all rats were sacrificed,and path-ological changes in pressure ulcer rats were evaluated by HE staining. Serum H2 S contents were analyzed through meth-ylene spectrophotometric method. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),intercellu-lar adhesion molecule -1 (ICAM-1),and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) . The activities of malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) , glutathione-peroxidase ( GSH-Px) and catalase ( CAT) in the homogenate of muscle were examined. Apoptotic index ( AI) was calculated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling ( TUNEL) . The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax in muscle tissue were evaluated by Western blot. Results In comparison with the normal control group,serum TNF-α, IL-6,ICAM-1 and MPO levels,MDA activity in the homogenate of muscles,AI and Bax expression level were in-creased (all P<0. 01),while serum H2S levels,the activities of SOD,GSH-Px and CAT as well as Bcl-2 expression levels were reduced in the I/R model group (all P<0. 01). Upon intervention therapy of low-or high-dose H2S,path-ological scores,serum TNF-α,IL-6,ICAM-1 and MPO levels,MDA activity in the homogenate of muscle,AI and Bax expression levels were gradually reduced while serum H2 S levels,the activities of SOD,GSH-Px and CAT and Bcl-2 expression levels were gradually enhanced when compared to those of the I/R model group (all P<0. 05,0. 01). Con-clusions Exogenous H2 S has better protection against pressure ulcer rats with I/R injury. The mechanism may be as-sociated with inhibition of inflammatory reaction and enhancement of antioxidative ability as well as reduction of apopto-sis.

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, it is thought that transforming growth factorβ (TGFβ) is closely related with cicatrization. TGFβ that is a key active molecule can affect each phase of cicatrization. Theoretically, to inhibit the biological effect of TGF β can reduce cicatrization.OBJECTIVE: To explore the inhibitive effect of antisense TGF β1 deoxy-oligonucleotide on generation of cicatricle in intention of animal models with hyperplastic scars and observe the effective route of administration of using antisense TGF β1.DESIGN: Own control and animal study.SETTING: Department of Plastic Surgery, Anning Hospital of General Hospital, Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLAMATERIALS: The experiment was performed at the laboratory of anatomy,Lanzhou Medical College from September 2002 to July 2003. Totally 20flap-eared Japanese rabbits were selected.METHODS: Blood vessels could be seen in ventral surface of each rabbits' ear getting out of the way along long axis to establish two 1.0 cm×2.5 cm oblong full-thickness cutaneous deficiency raw surfaces that interval for 1.5 cm, to the surface of cartilage, totally 80, so asto establish ventral surface of rabbits' ear models with hyperplastic scars. After epithelizatio of raw surfaces of rabbits' ear (20 days, averagely), 5μL(1 g/L) antisense TGF β1 deoxy-oligonucleotide was closely injected into local endepidermis of each raw surface of left ear of each rabbit with microinjector, which was regarded as TGF β1 group. 5 μL saline was injected into each raw surface of right ears, which was regarded as saline control group. After injection for3, 7, 11, 20, 30 days, cicatricial tissues were cut, 4 rabbits in each time phase. Hematoxylin-esoin (HE) staining, Masson staining and TGFβ1 mRNA, type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen mRNA in situ hybridization histochemistry staining were applied.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Results of HE staining, Masson staining and in situ hybridization histochemistry staining.RESUTLS: A total of 20 animals were included in the result analysis. ①HE staining showed that inflammatory cell infiltration and significant infiltrative zone of leukocytes occurred in hyperplastic scars of right ears in each group. There was inflammatory cell infiltration, but no infiltrative zone of leukocytes in hyperplastic scars of left ears after intervention with antisense TGF β1. ②Masson staining suggested that collagen fibers with deep blue-stain occurred in hyperplastic scars of right ears from the 3rd week after injury, till the 7th week there still was blue-stain collagen fibers,which was bulky (width of about 8-10 μm) and arranged in a great mess.The blue-stain collagenous fibers also appeared in hyperplastic scars of left ears at the 3rd week after injury by the intervention of antisense TGF β1,but till the 6th and 7th weeks the blue-stain became light and thin (width of about 3-5 μm), arranged in order. ③In situ hybridization revealed that expressive rates of TGF β1 mRNA, type Ⅰ collagen mRNA, type Ⅲ collagen mRNA positive cells decreased obviously.CONCLUSION: Antisense TGF β1 can inhibit the proliferation of hyperplastic scars of rabbits' ears and lighten markedly the fibrosis of cicatricial tissue. The local injection with naked DNA is feasible in the treatment of cicatricle.

Objective To analyze MRI findings of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Methods The MR findings in 18 patients who were diagnosed as CSP by surgery from March 2010 to November 2011 were retrospectively analyzed,and comparison was made between the MRI findings and surgical results.Results All Gestational sacs (18) were clearly detected by MRI.Among the 18 cases,gestational sac presented as cystic mass with smooth margin located within the scar of uterine wall at the lower anterior uterus in 16 cases.In 2 of the 16 cases,gestational sac was found within the myometrium,whereas in the remaining 14 cases,gestational sac was found partially within the myometrium with extension into the uterine cavity.The anteior wall of isthmus uteri became thinner.In the remaining 2 of the 18 cases,gestational sac presented as irregular,multilobolated mass,growing deep inot the myometrium as well as into the uterinecavity. On T2WI,the mass showed heterogeneous signal intensity. A small amount of hemorrhage within the mass and uterine cavity could be seen on T1 WI. An enhancing solid component with a heterogeneous mass could be seen. All gestational sacs in 18 cases were located at or adjacent to the previous cesarean scar.In the area of cesarean scar,the signal of the uterine wall was disconnected,with focal indentation or thinning and the previous cesarean scar exhibited hypointensity on both T1WI and T2WI.Conclusion CSP has its unique findings on MRI,these specific features can provide useful information in the management of CSP.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this investigation was to observe the effects of the Acetaminophen on auditory in mice. METHOD: Regardless of male and female mice, healthy seven-year-old C57 mice were randomly divided into Acetaminophen low-dose group (150 mg/kg), Acetaminophen medium-dose group (300 mg/kg), Acetaminophen high-dose group(600 mg/kg) and control group. Then mice were tested for ABR to observe the changes of ABR's threshold in the zero, second, fourth and ninth day separately. The change of cochlea hair cells morphology was studied by immunofluorescent labeling. And HPLC detects the concentration of Acetaminophen in endolymph of mice cochlea. RESULT: After 30 minutes following administration, the Acetaminophen in endolymph of mice cochlear can be assayed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Acetaminophen increased the hearing thresholds compared to the control group. Hearing thresholds increased significantly in the Acetaminophen at 9 d,compared to the control group (P < 0.05). After administered medium-dose and high-dose of Acetaminophen, on the 9th day with the time of giving medicine to all the groups strengthens, the ABR thresholds heightens. And the average threshold is (44.75 +/- 16.00) dB, (50.00 +/- 11.00) dB respectively. Hair cells damages could be observed in experimental group after operations. CONCLUSION Acetaminophen can pass through blood-labyrinth barrier to the inner ear. These data demonstrate that taking certain acetaminophen can induce hearing impairment in mice.
