Objective To study the correlation of mitochondrial DNA mutation of spermatozoa and change of mitochondria-ultrastructure with male infertility. Methods The techniques of PCR and DNA sequence analysis were used to detect MTCYB and MTATP-6 fragments of 76 samples of semen with poor motility from infertile male.Of these samples five were identified with mitochondrial DNA deletion and transmission electron microscopic observations were made. Results Under the electron microscopic observations the 5 samples were all seen with abnormal volume of mitochondria in most spermatozoa tails either small or big, disorderly located and asymmetrically distributed;the axonemal structures of sperm wrapped in layers of mitochondria. These samples of sperm were noticeably different in form from those from fertile male. Conclusion Sperm mitochondria-ultrastructure change were observed in samples of sperm mitochondrial DNA mutation.Sperm mitochondrial mutation and its mitochondria-ultrastructure affect the energy supply of sperms during the process of fertilization which may result in male infertility.;

Purpose Cortex is one of the frequently involved sites of multiple sclerosis (MS),and the cortex and corpus callosum lesions of MS are gradually concerned.The study aims to observe the changes of cerebral cortex and corpus callosum of MS in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model by using 7.0T MRI diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).Materials and Methods Twenty female C57BL/6 mice of 6-8 week old were enrolled in the study,10 of which were induced by MOG35-55 to make EAE models and the rest 10 of which were taken as control group.On the 20 days after model establishment,the head T2WI and DTI were performed on both control and EAE mice.DTI quantitative indicators such as fractional anisotropy (FA),mean diffusivity (MD),axial dispersion coefficient λ//,and radial dispersion coefficient λ ⊥ in region of interest including bilateral prefrontal cortex,bilateral cingulate cortex and corpus callosum were compared between the two groups.Results No obvious lesions were observed on the T2WI in both control and EAE groups.In the experimental group,the FA mapping suggested the integrity of the left side of the corpus callosum was destroyed.The FA,MD,λ// λ ⊥ of bilateral prefrontal cortex and corpus callosum showed significant difference between experimental group and control group (P＜0.05);the increase of λ ⊥ in bilateral cingulate was significantly different from that in the control group.Meanwhile,HE staining in the experimental group showed that inflammatory cells gathered around the cortical and subcortical vessels.The LFB staining in experimental group showed a bit paler than that in the control group,and the corpus callosum showed patchy demyelination.Conclusion The technique of 7.0T MRI DTI sequence can detect cortex and corpus callosum lesions which cannot be found by conventional MRI,so that it provides radiological evidence for the study of MS with cortex and corpus callosum lesions.

Objective To evaluate dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) with Patlak model for depicting the perfusion and permeability characteristics of lesions and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) regions in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Methods Twenty-three patients with clinical confirmed RRMS were retrospectively analyzed, who had underwent conventional MRI and DCE-MRI using a 3.0 T MR scanner . The clinical characteristics and imaging data were collected. Post-processing was performed using the Patlak model. Volume transfer constant (Ktrans), fractional plasma volume (Vp) and perfusion parameters including cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) were represented as median and interquartile range(IQR). The four parameters of non-enhanced(NE) lesions, NAWM regions located close to NE lesions(NAWM close) and NAWM regions located far from NE lesions (NAWM far) were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test. Artificial color mappings were also proceeded. Results MR imaging biomarkers Ktrans was 0.132(0.064, 0.233) min-1 for NE lesions, 0.111 (0.060, 0.233) min-1 for NAWM close and 0.077(0.044, 0.185) min-1 for NAWM far, respectively. CBV was 10.660(5.555, 22.193) ml · 100 g-1 for NE lesions, 9.359(4.883, 16.290) ml · 100 g-1 for NAWM close, 6.814 (4.699, 13.623) ml·100 g-1 for NAWM far, respectively. Ktrans and CBV of NE lesions was significantly higher than that of NAWM far(χ2=7.582,P<0.05;χ2=6.394,P<0.05, respectively). Ktrans and CBV of NAWM close showed no significant differences compared with NE lesions and NAWM far. Vp and CBF had no significant differences between NE lesions, NAWM close and NAWM far regions(P>0.05). Conclusion DCE-MRI with Patlak model can measure perfusion and permeability characteristics and hemodynamic abnormalities of NE lesions and NAWM regions in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between serum HGF levels and clinical severity of essential hypertension (EH). Methods: The serum HGF concentrations of 44 patients with EH were measur ed by ELISA. Results: The serum HGF levels in patients with EH w ere higher than that in control. Furthermore, the serum HGF levels of EH patient s with coronary atherosclerosis (CAS) were significantly higher than those of EH patients without CAS ［(920.8±250.0） pg/ml vs （747.9±132.1） pg/ml, P <0.01］ or control ［（643.8±98.2） pg/ml, P<0.01)］.The changes of HGF l evel were correlated with the clinical courses (r=0.63, P<0.01) and stag es (r=0.69, P<0.01) of hypertension. Conclusion: HGF may be considered as a new index for the severity of hypertension and an useful bio chemical parameter for estimating the development of atherosclerosis.

AIM: To investigate the mechanism underlying insulin-stimulated increase in glucose uptake during low-flow myocardial ischemia. METHODS: The expression of myocardial GLUT1 polypeptide was determined by semiquantitative immunoblotting. The expression of GLUT1 mRNA was determined by semiquantitative Northern blotting. RESULTS: After infusing insulin during low- flow myocardial ischemia for 8 h，the expression of both GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT1 polypeptide was significantly higher in experimental myocardium than that in normal myocardium. The glucose uptake was upregulated at the same time in the exprimental myocardium. CONCLUSION: Insulin enhances the expression of GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT1 polypeptide in ischemic myocardial regions. GLUT1 expression may be an important mechanism by which myocardial cells enhance glucose uptake and metabolism during low-flow myocardial ischemia.
