The experiment is based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory "Spleen and stomach can be injured or caused functional deficiency by fatigue, starvation or overeating".Wistar rats were used in the experiment and divided into two groups according to their weight. Fatigue, starvation or overeating models were produced by various methods. The results obtained by SEM showed that the gastric and intestinal mucosa were normal in the control group and erosion of mucosa appeared in the experimental group. The erosion was more severe in the heavy weight rats than that of the light weight rats.

Here we reviewed the applications of laser scanning confocal microscope in biomedical field. The reformation and improvement based on this technique were also summarized. After analyzing the defects, we highlighted its potential applications in the future.

Objective To study the character and clinical significance of electrolyte in the children suffered from different degree pneumonia on different periods. Methods The levels of sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine and phosphorus in the serum of children suffered from mild pneumonia group, severe pneumonia group and control group were tested respectively. The levels of sodium, calcium, magnesium in the serum of children suffered from pneumonia during their acute period and convalescence were tested respectively. The levels of potassium in the serum of children suffered from pneumonia caused by various pathogens were detected too. Those results were analysed. Results The levels of sodium, calcium, magnesium in the serum of children in mild pneumonia group were obviously higher than those in severe pneumonia group(P

Aim To establish a new,multi-parameter,real time and qualitative cell migration evaluation method.Methods Lung cancer cell line A549 was cultured on the glass bottom dish.After treated with different dosages of berberine or Rg3 for 24 hours,several scratching lines at the same dimension were made and observed by Living Cell Working Station.8 observation areas were selected randomly and imaged continuously for 24 hours.Transferred Area(TA),Transferred Distance(TD),Single Cell Transferred Speed(SCTS)and the Cell Division Number among defined area(CDN)were analyzed after getting sequence images.Results The focus stage and the incubation system were sufficient to keep cell proliferation and made it possible for long term observation.Berberine at 25 μmol·L~(-1) and 12.5 μmol·L~(-1) could inhibit the migration of A549(P<0.01).The analysis results of TA,TD,SCTS and CDN were basically coincident.Rg3 at 0.1 mmol·L~(-1) could inhibit SCTS and promote CDN in 6,12 and 24 h(P<0.01),while decrease both TA and TD in 24 hs.Conclusion The method is sensitive,rapid and simple to be applied in the research of tumor metastasis,wound healing and inflammatory response with real time,in-situ and multi-parameters.

Objective To investigate the clinical utility of keyhole craniotomy for Cholesteatmas in the cerebello-pontine angle region presenting as Trigeminal neuralgia by using keyhole craniotomy. Methods Clinical data of 35 pa-tients with Cholesteatmas in the cerebellopontine angle region presenting as Trigeminal neuralgia was analyzed retrospec-tively. All patients received suboccipital retrosigmoid keyhole craniotomy. Thirty cases who received conventional craniot-omy group were served as control group. A comparative analysis was conducted to assess the difference between these two groups in microsurgical methods, effects and complications. Results All patients were confirmed with MR diagnosis. In keyhole group, all patients had no pain symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia after surgical operation. The symptoms disap-peared immediately in 33 cases and gradually disappeared in 2 cases within one month following keyhole craniotomy. The tumors were totally removed in 25 cases and almost completely in 10 cases. The surgical duration was shorten in key-hole group than in conventional group (126±48 vs. 216±66 min;t=2.536, P<0.05). The amount of bleeding was smaller in keyhole group than in conventional group (91.3±52.2 vs. 186.3±65.4 mL;t=2.163, P<0.05). Postoperative neurologi-cal function was assessed in House-Brackmann. In keyhole group, there were 32 cases in class Ⅰ and 3 in grade Ⅱ. Two patients had hearing loss which was improved gradually in three months. In conventional group, there were 25 cases in class Ⅰ and 5 in grade Ⅱ (χ2=4.158, P<0.05). Postoperative hearing evaluation (AAO-HNS) revealed that there were 33 cases in grade A , and 2 in grade B in the keyhole group, whereas there were 27 cases in grade A and 3 in grade B in the conventional group(χ2=5.167, P<0.05). There were no relapse of tumors and death during 3 month to 5 years follow-up. Conclusions The suboccipital retrosigmoid keyhole craniotomy is a valid choice for Cholesteatmas in the cerebellopontine angle region presenting as Trigeminal neuralgia.

Objective To evaluate the application value with Energy Spectrum CT multi -parameter quanti-tative value in differentiating pulmonary occupying lesions (>0.5cm in diameter).Methods Those were retrospec-tively analyzed on 58 cases in pulmonary occupying lesions performed spectrum dual -phase enhanced CT scan and confirmed by pathology,including malignant group 48 cases;10 cases of benign group.Iodine content(IC)was meas-ured in arterial phase(AP)and venous phase (VP)in iodine based on the image and the level of the aorta,and nor-malized iodine concentrations were calculated in the two phases lesions compared with aorta,and the difference between the two normalized iodine concentrations ICD (ICD =NICvp -NICap).To measure the CT value of lesions on 50keV and 100keV energy image,and calculate the energy attenuation curve slope,namely |Hu (100 kev -50kev)/Hu50 |.The differences of NIC,curve slope,and ICD were compared between benign and malignant pulmonary occupying lesions using independent sample t test method.Results In two phase scan,NIC,curve slope of the venous phase and ICD in malignant group were significantly higher than the benign group,(NIC,curve slope of the venous phase and ICD of the malignant group:NICap:0.180 ±0.051,NICvp:0.463 ±0.086,1.696 ±0.475,ICD:0.284 ± 0.071;NIC,curve slope of the venous phase and ICD of the benign group:NICap:0.123 ±0.062,NICvp:0.290 ± 0.119,1.169 ±0.582,ICD:0.166 ±0.073,),but there was no significant difference between the patients with benign and malignant lesions in curve slope of the arterial phase.Conclusion Energy spectrum CT dual -phase enhanced scan can differentiate the nature of benign and malignant pulmonary occupying lesions,and has certain clinical application value.

OBJECTIVETo establish a new, real time, dynamic and direct optical detection method for mast cell degranulation caused by anaphylactoid reaction.

METHODA CD63-GFP plasmid was constructed and introduced steadily into rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells. The movements of CD63-GFP, which was located on both the granule membranes and the plasma membranes of RBL cells stimulated by Compound 48/80, were studied by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and total internal reflection fluorescence microscope (TIRFM) both inside and on the surface of living RBL-2H3 cells.

RESULTBefore antigen stimulation, most granules with CD63-GFP hardly moved in RBL cells. However, after antigen stimulation, the granules moved dramatically. They reached the plasma membranes in a few minutes and fused with them instantaneously. The velocity of the granule movement toward the plasma membranes on antigen stimulation was calculated to be 0.05 micron x s(-1).

CONCLUSIONAnalysis of the movement of each granule provided a new insight into the elementary process of degranulation. The method is rapid, sensitive and reliable, which could be used as a new detection method for anaphylactoid reaction in vitro.
