This study was aimed to observe the influence on angiogenesis factor and expression of its receptor protein on estrogen-induced uterine fibroids rat models with Y i-Qi Xiao-Zheng (YQXZ) method, in order to explore the mechanism of this method in the inhibition of angiogenesis in the treatment of uterine fibroids. Castration and estro-gen-induced method were used in the establishment of guinea pig uterine fibroids rat model. And then, different doses of Chinese medicine of YQXZ method were given. The immunohistochemical method was used in the detection of microvessel density (MVD) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein expression of the uterine tissues. The RT-PCR method was used to detect the expression of VEGFR1 mRNA and VEGFR2 mRNA. Then, statistical analysis was given on indexes mentioned above. The results showed that compared with the normal control group, ex-pression of MVD, VEGF and VEGFR of uterine muscle tissues in the model group was significantly higher (P <0.01). Compared with the model group, Chinese medicine group of different doses showed different reducing. Among them, the high-dose group was the most obvious one. It showed that the high-dose Chinese medicine of YQXZ group was able to significantly inhibit the expression of MVD, VEGF and theirs receptors. It was concluded that YQXZ method can antagonize proliferation of the leiomyoma cell by inhibiting angiogenesis. Therefore, it may be one of the mechanisms of this method in the treatment of uterine fibroids.

The ultrastructural changes of atrial myocardial cells during hemorrhagic shock and after autotransfusion with the shedded blood were observed in rats,which were divided into control,hemorrhagic shock and auspeto-transfusion groups.It was found that there was a marked increase of atrial specific granules in the atrial myocardial cells during hemorrhagic shock.Striking ultrastructural changes of atrial myocardial cells were noted after transfusion of the shedded blood.Reduction in the number of atrial specific granules,in addition to mitochondrial swelling,reduction of the cristae,focal emptying of mitochondria,myelin-like figure in mitochondrial matrix,expansion of sar-coplasmic reticulum,dilatation of Golgi complexes and perinuclear space,and dissociation of myocardial disk,were remarkable.The findings suggest that atrial myocardila cells participate in the patho-physiological changes of hemorrhagic shock and autotransfusion.

Objective To evaluate the role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in the protective effect of isoflurane preconditioning and sevoflurane preconditioning against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury in rat hippocampal slices. Methods Male adult SD rats weighing 270-290 g were anesthetized with ether and decapitated. The hippocampi were removed and sagittally sliced (400 μm thick) and placed in artificial cerebral spinal fluid aerated with 95% O2-5% CO2 . Ninety-six hippocampal slices were randomly divided into 8 groups (n = 12 each): control group (group C), OGD group, isoflurane preconditioning group (group Iso),sevoflurane preconditioning group (group Sevo) , SP600125 + isoflurane preconditioning group (group SP + Iso),SP600125 +sevoflurane preconditioning group (group SP + Sevo), DMSO + isoflurane preconditioning group (group DMSO + Iso) and DMSO + sevoflurane preconditioning group (group DMSO + Sevo). Electrophysiological technique was used to record the amplitude of population spike ( PS) in the stratum pyramidale of CA1 region and the degree of recovery of PS was calculated. The cell viability was determined by propidium iodide staining. Results Compared with group C, the degree of recovery of PS and cell viability were significantly decreased in the other groups ( P < 0.01) . Compared with group OGD, the degree of recovery of PS and cell viability were significantly increased in groups Iso, Sevo, SP+Iso, SP+Sevo, DMSO+ Iso and DMSO + Sevo (P< 0.01). Compared with group Iso, the degree of recovery of PS and cell viability were significantly increased in group SP+Iso ( P < 0.01) , while no significant change was found in group DMSO + Iso ( P > 0.05) . Compared with group Sevo, the degree of recovery of PS and cell viability were significantly increased in group SP + Sevo ( P < 0.01) , while no significant change was found in group DMSO + Sevo ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Isoflurane preconditioning and sevoflurane preconditioning can attenuate the OGD injury to rat hippocampal slices through inhibiting JNK signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the correlation of spinal canal stricture and intramedullary increased signal intensity (ISI) in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Methods 92 patients with OPLL were divided into 3 groups, those with the sagittal diameter remained ≥66.7% were as group A, 33.3%~66.7% as group B, and <33.3% as group C. The incidence of intramedullary ISI was recorded, and their neurological condition was assessed with the Japanese Orthopedics Association Assessment (JOA). Results ISI were found in 6 cases in the group A (20.7%), 17 cases in the group B (47.2%) and 19 cases in the group C (70.4%) (P<0.05). The score of JOA was (7.1±2.1) in the group A, (6.0±1.8) in the group B and (5.6±2.0) in the group C (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of intramedullary ISI increased with the severity of spinal canal stricture, and with more severe nerve damage in OPLL patients.

Objective:To evaluate the short-type single balloon enteroscope (SBE) to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis.Methods:Data of 10 patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis who received short-type SBE assisting ERCP (14 times of ERCP, the short-type SBE group) from May 2019 to September 2019 and 55 patients who received conventional SBE assisting ERCP (87 times of ERCP, the conventional SBE group) from March 2016 to April 2019 were collected in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. Success rates and mean time of reaching the blind loop, diagnosis and treatment success rates, procedure time and complication incidence in the two groups were compared.Results:The mean time to reach the blind loop was significantly shorter in short-type SBE group than that in the conventional SBE group (17.1 min VS 23.4 min, P = 0.04). There were no significant differences in success rates of reaching the blind loop[100.0%(14/14) VS 95.4%(83/87)], the success rates of diagnosis and treatment[both 100.0% (14/14) VS 100.0% (83/83)], the mean procedure time (62.6 min VS 64.3 min) or complication incidence [21.4%(3/14) VS 16.1% (14/83) ] between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:ERCP assisted by either type of SBE is safe and effective in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis. However, short-type SBE is faster to reach the blind loop because of its unique design and easier manipulation.
