Objective Pathologically, sometimes it is rather difficult to make differential diagnosis among hepatocellular, cholangiocellular and mixed type of hepatic tumors. The aim of this study was to analyze the immunohistochemical features of mixed type of hepatocarcinoma and to propose some useful diagnostic criteria. Methods Fifteen cases of the hepatic tumor were examined by routine histological and immunohistochemical methods with S P technique. Results The mixed type of hepatic tumor accounted for 3.39% of all cases of primary hepatocarcinoma in the same period. Histologically, all the mixed type of hepatic tumors revealed some characteristics of hepatocellular and cholangiocellular carcinomas, one of them was collision tumor. Immunohistochemically, 10 cases of the tumor were positive for ? fetal protein(AFP) in the hepatocellular carcinoma area, while all 15 tumors were negative for AFP in all cholangiocellular carcinoma areas. Cytokeratin(CK8) was positive in the hepatocellular carcinoma areas of all mixed tumor, whereas positive in cholangiocellular carcinoma areas of 13 cases; CK19 was positive in cholangiocellular carcinoma areas of all the tumors, while positive in hepatocellular carcinoma areas of 13 cases. Bcl 2 gene product was positive in 66.7% of this tumor, in which it was mainly expressed in cholangiocellular tumor area and in hepatocellular areas of five cases. AB/PAS stain for mucin was positive in cholangiocellular tumor regions of all the tumors. Conclusions Diagnosis of mixed hepatocarcinoma should be made mainly based on combined analysis of the data from pathological features, immunohistochemical phenotypes and histochemical stain for mucinous material.

Objective To observe the influences of 1,25-(OH)2D3 and salvia miltiorrhiza on hematopoiesis reconstruction and T cell subsets after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in rats.Methods Donor rats were divided randomly into four groups,namely,Group A: aGVHD group;Group B: 1,25-(OH)2D3 group;Group C: salvia miltiorrhiza group;and Group D: two-drug combination group.We observed the survival time,peripheral blood cells,clinical manifestations of aGVHD and the changes of rat T cell subsets.Results Compared with those in aGVHD group,in every drug intervention group,the time for illness attack of aGVHD was delayed,aGVHD scoring was reduced and the average survival time was obviously prolonged(P

Objective To investigate the effect of 1,25-(OH)2D3 and salvia miltiorrhiza on T cell subsets and cytokines in rats after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.Methods Female Wistar rats were used as recipients and male SD rats were used as donors.All Wistar rats were divided into aGVHD group and intervention groups at random,and the intervention groups were further divided into 1,25-(OH)2D3 group,salvia miltiorrhiza group and combination group.The changes of T cell subsets (CD4+ and CD8+) and cytokine (IL-2,IFN-?,IL-4 and IL-10) in every group were detected and measured.Results When the presentation of aGVHD was relatively conspicuous,CD4+ and CD8+ were increased,and the increase of CD4+ was predominant.Compared with the difference prior to transplantation,the difference was statistically significant (P

Object To assess the genetic diversity among ten natural populations in Ophiopogon japonicus (L f ) Ker Gawl and O. bodinieri Levl (Liliaceae) in Sichuan Province Methods Forty random decamer primers were screened for Random Amplified Polymophic DNA (RAPD) fragments Results Based on cluster analysis of 515 DNA bands amplified by 11 primers, a DNA molecular dendrogram was established, and the relationship of the populations and seeds between O japonicus and O bodinieri was set up Conclusion 1 Distinct genetic differences and extensive genetic diversity are presented among the samples The genetic differences are related to morphological differences, but not to geographic regions; 2 Quite genetic differences are presented between O japonicus and O bodinieri, it suggests that they have farther relationships

Objective To explore the effects of forepaw sensorimotor deprivation in early life on hippocampus-dependent spatial reference learning and memory in rats. Methods Newborn SD rats were randomly assigned to experiment group (deprivation of forepaw sensorimotor function, n=53) and control group(n=55). Rats of postnatal day 13 (PN13) in experiment group were seleeted, and models of forepaw sensorimotor deprivation were established by microsurgical technique. Open field tests and Morris water maze tests were performed during the time periods of PN25(PN21-31), PN35 (PN31-39), PN45(PN41-50) and PN60(PN56-64) to evaluate the locomotor activity and spatial reference learning and memory, respectively. Results In open field tests, there was no significant difference in parameters of locomotor activity and exploratory behavior between the two groups (P>0.05). In Morris water maze tests, eontrol group performed significantly better than experiment group during training sessions and probe tests on PN25 and PN35 (P<0.05). While on PN45, although there was no significant difference between the two groups during training sessions, control group performed significantly better than experiment group during probe tests (P<0.05). Conclusion The deprivation of forepaw sensorimotor in early life has no signifieant effect on the locomotor activity and exploratory behavior of rats, but can impair the spatial reference learning and memory.

Objective To observe transient receptor potential melastatin 7-like (TRPMTL) expression changes post myocardial infarction (MI) in mouse cardiac fibroblast (CF).Methods TRPM7 expression and Ca2+ influx in CF from MI and control mice were quantified by mRNA RT-PCR and whole cell patch clamp technique.Results (1) TRPM7 expression was significantly upregulated post MI and Ca2+ influx of CF were significantly increased post MI [ (7.4 ± 0.7 ) pA/pF vs.( 16.2 ± 1.7) pA/pF, P < 0.01 ] and Ca2+ influx of CF increased 3-fold under lower pH condition; (2) These effects could be blocked by knock-out TRPM7 gene with SiRNA.conclusion TRPM7L upregulation post MI and under lower pH condition are responsible for increased Ca2+ influx in CF.

Objective To solve the problem that the rat retina paraffin sections are easily exfoliated from the slides and each layer are easily separation and fracture,we need to find a way to improve the retina paraffin section method and evaluate the tissue fixation. Methods We used 4 fixation liquids including 10%paraformaldehyde,4%paraformaldehyde, 4% paraformaldehyde and 95% alcohol and glacial acetic acid mixed liquid (FAA fixatiue solution ) combined with paraformaldehyde to fix the retinal tissue, and observed the fixation efficacy under microscope after HE staining. Results The effects of 10%paraformaldehyde and 4%paraformaldehyde fixed samples showed moderate separation and fracture of retina,but the HE staining retinal slices pre-treated by the FAA fixafive solution had bright and uniform color,although occasionally some parts of the retina were exfoliated from the slide, but it was not easy to take off,and had complete structure without separation and rupture. Conclusion The retina paraffin section fixed by FAA ixafive solution with 4% paraformaldehyde is superior to pure paraformaldehyde, and the paraformaldehyde concentration has no obviously influence on HE staining results.
