Objective To develop a model of inflammatory bowel disease in rats induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid(TNBS).Methods Fifty Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:model,mock model and normal group.2% TNBS,50% ethanol and physiological saline were administered per-rectum to each of the three groups,respectively.Feces,psychosis and appetite were observed,body weight and food eaten were recorded daily.Rats were killed after 3,6 and 14 d,and the colons were isolated and histological findings were examined.Results On the first day,rats in the model group had loose and bloody stools,and the symptoms lasted for about 8 days.Body weight and food eaten were markedly decreased for 7-10 days.Obvious pathological changes in the colon were observed on third day and heavier on sixth day,characterized by mucosal necrosis and transmutable inflammation.In the mock model group,the rats had loose stools on first day,and recovered on second day.Light pathological changes were found on third day.In the normal group,no pathological changes were found in colon.Conclusion Rats treated with TNBS showed obvious characters of inflammatory bowel disease,which could be used as a model in study on etiopathogenesis and evaluation effects of medicines.

[Objective]To investigate the feasibility of the placement of pedicle screws in the thoracolumbar vertebrae under X-ray fluoroscopy step by step.[Method]Eight human cadaveric thoracolumbar spines(T9~L5) were selected and classified into group A and group B randomly,each having 4 specimens.Pedicle screws in group A were placed under X-ray fluoroscopy step by step.CT scanned the specimens of group A and measured the half pedicle length,full pedicle length and the pedicle screw passage length.The "e" angle and "f" angle of pedicle were measured on CT images.When the guide wire was pricked to the half of pedicle length,the wire tip was located at the middle line of the pedicle projection in the standard posterior-anterior image.When the wire was pricked to the full pedicle length in lumbar vertebrae,its tip was located at 3/4 line of the pedicle projection in the standard posterior-anterior image.When the wire was pricked to the full pedicle length in thoracic vertebrae,its tip was located at between 1/2 line and 3/4 line of the pedicle projection.When the wire was pricked into vertebrae,the depth of the wire and the "e" angle were noted in standard lateral image.Pedicle screws were placed by the track of the guide wire.Pedicle screws in group B were placed by traditional technique.The accuracy and feasibility of the method under X-ray fluoroscopy step by step were evaluated by observation of the position of the pedicle screws in group A and group B.[Result] Four of 72(5.56%) pedicle screws were found to have perforated the pedicle wall in group A,and 19 of 72(26.38%) pedicle screws perforated the pedicle wall in group B.The result of group A was superior to that of group B(P

Objective To explore the effects of different concentrations of fluoride, aluminum alone and in combination exposure on mice parietal bone cell subclone 14 (MC3T3-E subclone 14), and to elucidate the pathogenesis of endemic fluorosis. Methods The proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells exposed to 10-9 -10-3 mol/L NaF alone, 50 ?mol/L NaF and 5 ?mol/L AlCl3 alone and in combination ,was measured by CCK-8, and the change of cell cycle was measured by flow cytometry after treatment with various concentrations of fluoride and aluminum. Results Fluoride alone did not promote osteoblast MC3T3-E1cells proliferation, higher concentration fluoride inhibited MC3T3-E1 cells proliferation. Fluoride and aluminum combined exposure (50 ?mol/L NaF +5 ?mol/L AlCl3) stimulated proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells (P

Objective To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia in elderly population.Methods In 2004,862 elderly population in medical examination were studied.Serum cholesterol,triglyceride,high-density lipoproteins(HDL) and low-density lipoproteins(LDL) were measured.Results Cholesterol,triglycerides,HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in women were significantly higher than men(P

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of functional reconstructive technique of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) for organ confined prostate cancer. Methods From October 2000 to September 2004,54 patients with organ confined prostate cancer (TNM stage of T 1b-T 2) underwent LRP.After completion of the first group of 15 consecutive cases (group A) by Monstouris techniques, the functional reconstructive surgical technique, which is basically composed of anatomical radical prostatectomy,was introduced to LRP in the second group of 39 consecutive cases (group B).These techniques mainly consisted of preservation of urethral and bladder outlet sphincter muscles,reconstruction of bladder neck,and fine anastomosis between urethra and bladder neck with fixation of anterior wall of anastomotic stoma and retropubic vascular complex.The operative time, bleeding volume,complications,continence recovery time and PSA level were comparatively analyzed between the 2 groups. Results All the operations were successful in 54 patients.In group A and group B,the mean operative time was 390 min(range,270-660 min)vs 240 min(range,180-360 min);the mean bleeding volume was 430 ml(range,200-1100 ml) vs 160 ml(100-400 ml);the complication rate was 40% (6/15) vs 13% (5/39) and the continence recovery time was on average 6 months vs 3 months,respectively. There were statistically significant differences in these parameters between the 2 groups (P

Objective To investigate the effects of eardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)on plasma nitric oxide (NO)and asymmetric dimethyl arginine(ADMA)concentrations in patients with congenital heart disease complicated with pulmonary hypertension undergoing open heart surgery.Methods Eighteen ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 11-40 yr weighing 26-59 kg undergoing open heart surgery under CPB were divided into 3 groups according to pulmonary arterial systolic pressure(PASP)(n=6 each):group Ⅰ PASP<30 mm Hg;group Ⅱ PASP 30-50 mm Hg and group Ⅲ PASP>50 mm Hg.Arterial blood samples were taken before induction of anesthesia (To,baseline),at the start and termination of CPB(T1,2)and 3,6,24 h after CPB(T3-5)for determination of plasma NO and ADMA concentrations.Results The three groups were comparable with respect to M/F sex ratio,age,body weight and CPB time.The plasma ADMA concentrations were significantly increased while NO concentrations were significantly decreased at termination of CPB(T2)and 3 and 6 h after CPB(T3,4)as compared with the baseline at T0 in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ.The plasma ADMA concentration were significantly higher and No concentrations were significantly lower at all time points in groupⅡand Ⅲthan in group Ⅰ.Conclusion CPB can increase plasma ADMA concentration and decrease plasma NO concentration in patients with congenital heart disease complicated with pulmonary hypertension undergoing open heart surgery.
