Objective:To study the effect of Liuwei Dihuang decoction (LW) on secretion of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of senescence accelerated mouse (SAM). Methods:The level of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of SAM with aging and the effect of LW on the secretion of testosterone were observed using cultured testis leydig cells in vitro.Results:The level of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of SAMP8 with aging was significantly decreased and showed a significant difference compared with age-matched SAMR1. Chronic administration of LW (2.5 and 5.0 g/kg) for 5 months significantly ameliorated the secretion of testosterone in SAMP8 compared with control group. Conclusions:The secretory function of testis leydig cells was reduced in SAMP8 with aging. LW ameliorated the secretion of testosterone in the testis leydig cells,indicating that LW could antagonize or delay the deterioration of the testis leydig cells in SAMP8.

Objective To identify the exact origin and insertion of plantar aponeurosis and the anatomic relationship of calcaneal spur to plantar aponeurosis. Methods Fourteen specimen of feet were dissected and radiographed. Three fetus feet were observed histologically. Sonographic evaluation was carried out on 20 normal adults and 52 patients with plantar fasciitis. Results (1) Anatomic observation found that plantar aponeurosis was located under the medial process of caleaneus but not attached to it, and proximally attached to the plantar aspect of calcaneal tuborosity. The insertion (origin) of plantar aponeurosis was not a point but a face. Posteriorly the plantar aponeurosis and fascia of Archlles heel were fused or transmigrated together,entirely covered and attached very coherently to the plantar and posterior aspect of calcaneal tuborosity. (2) Histological observation of heel of fetuses found plantar aponeurosis and fascia of Arehlles heel were eosinophil band-like structure. Both continued at the plantar and posterior aspect of calcaneus and attached closely to bone at this area. There were no significant demarcation between them. (3) Sonographic evaluation:normal plantar aponeurosis showed a thin band-like echo, its orgin attached to entire plantar aspect of calcaneal tuberosity and continued with fascia coming posteriorly from Archlles heel. No distinct boundary existed between these two fascias. When plantar fasciitis occurred, the orgin of plantar aponeurosis thickened significantly,this phenomenon could be detected in wholly plantar aspect of calcaneal tuberrosity. The heel spur didn't located within plantar aponeurosis. Conclusions Plantar aponeurosis orginates from entire plantar aspect of cancaneal tuberosity. Heel spur oeeures in the orgin of the intrinsic musculature, such as flexor digitorum brevis,and doesn't locate within plantar aponeurosis.

Objective To explore the correlation of peritumoral brain edema( PTBE)size,histologi-cal grades and the expression rate of Ki-67 in gliomas. Methods The data and specimens about 74 cases of gliomas in People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region during 2010-2013 were collected. All cases were confirmed by surgery and pathology. According to preoperative MRI,PTBE was graded. Immunohisto-chemical discriminate the expression of Ki-67. HE coloration distinguish the histological grades. Results In this study,90. 54%(67/74)patients occured PTBE,the incidence of PTBE inⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳlevel of groups were 100%(3/3),78. 95%(15/19),83. 33%(15/18),100%(34/34). Ki-67 expression was positive in 75. 68%(56/74)patients,and the rates were 0,36. 84%(7/19),94. 44%(17/18),94. 12%(32/34) in Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ level of groups. The expression rate of Ki-67 was 57. 14%(4/7),60. 00%(6/10),and 80. 70%(46/57)in normal group,Ⅰ-level groups of PTBE,Ⅱ-level groups of PTBE. The result of Kruskal-Wallis H showed that the PTBE from different grades was statistically significant(H=11. 304,P=0. 010). The expression rate of Ki-67 in different grade gliomas was statistically significant(H=38. 530,P﹤0. 05), The difference of expression Ki-67 in gliomas of different PTBE was statistically significant( H=6. 478,P=0. 039). The result of Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the PTBE level increased with the histo-logical grade up in gliomas(r=0. 385,P=0. 001). The expression rate of Ki-67 increased with the histologi-cal grade up in gliomas(r=0. 692,P﹤0. 05),and the expression rate of Ki-67 increased with the degree of PTBE up in glomas( r =0. 256,P =0. 028 ). Conclusion Accorrding to the PTBE size,the histological grades and proliferation ability of glioma can be judged pre-operation. Ki-67 can be used as the indicator of pro-liferation activity of tumor,and also be used as the important basis of histological grades.
