Objective To explore the difference of male and female rats in establishing diabetic model by feeding lardy diet and intraperitoneally injecting a low dose streptozotocin(STZ).Methods Totally 184 male and female Wistar rats(each 92 rats) were induced to diabetes mellitus by feeding lardy diet and intraperitoneally injecting 25 mg/kg STZ for 5 weeks.For the 114 left living rats(70 females and 44 males),they were randomized into female high rosiglitazone group(n=23),male high rosiglitazone group(n=15),female low rosiglitazone group(n=23),male low rosiglitazone group(n=15),female model group(n=24),and male model group(n=14).Rosiglitazone at 2 or 0.5 mg/kg were intragastrically administered to corresponding rats once a day for 4 weeks.Another 8 health female and 8 health male rats receiving same volume solvent served as normal control.The body weight,taken food amount,fasting blood glucose,plasma insulin content and the morphology of the spleen were measured and examined to validate the animal models.Results Blood glucose,total plasma lipids and cholesterol of model rats were markedly increased after STZ injection.And there were some other symptoms of model rats,such as polyuria,polydipsia and polyphagia,which indicated that diabetes had been induced in the models.The male model rats had higher mortality,body weight,triglyceride level and lower plasma insulin than in female(P

Objective To investigate some points in evaluating the effects of insulin sensitizer on obesityassociated non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus Zucker fa/fa rat model. Methods Total 20 male Zucker fa/fa rats were divided into model group and rosiglitazone groups. Another 10 male Zucker fa/? rats served as normal control. Rosiglitazone at 6 mg/kg was given intragastrically once per day for 4 weeks,and the rats of the other 2 groups were fed with same solvent at same volume. Results Rosiglitazone reduced the levels of fasting insulin,triglyceride ( TG) and free fatty acid ( FFA) of Zucker fa/fa rats ( P

Objective:Combined laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in the diagnosis and therapy of the female infertity is and advanced means in the gynecologcial field.We analysed the causes and the treatments of the 71 infertile patients.Pelvic adhesions,endometrosis and salpingtis were the main causes of infertity in our 71 cases.Of 71 cases,29 cases were primary infertity,in whichc endometriosis,PCOS and anatomic uterine defect were the main causes,and 42 cases were secondary infertity,in which 35 cases (83%) had previous intrauterine operations.All the patients were treated for the causes.We concluded that combined laparoscopy and hysteroscopy can diagnose the causes of infertity and can observe the tubal patency by hysteroscopic tubal cathertetization and hydrotubation,which will direct the treatments and estimate the results of the therapy.Methods:Infertity;Combined Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy.

Triage is one of the important taches for the wounded whom is cured effectively under the condition to limited medical resource in public health emergency events.It is a decision based on doctrine rather than expediency.By the view of ethics,the article considered three doctrines: fairness,benthamism and scientific decision-making,which assures that the outcome of wartime triage at the sea is speedy and exact.

Objective To observe the effects of Jianpi Xiaopi extract on gastric secretion of experimental SD rats with spleen deficiency. Methods Animal model of spleen deficiency was established by using Rhubarb decoction. The gastric secretion was determined by titration method, and the gastrin in plasma was measured by radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with those in spleen deficiency group, the levels of the total acidity and the output of total acid were higher in the middle dose group treated with Jianpi Xiaopi extract ( P

Purpose To evaluate the correlation among diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), tumor Cellularity and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) for the high and low grade astrocytoma. Materials and Methods DWI was applied with 33 patients with astrocytoma confirmed by pathology, and ADC value was measured. Tumor Cellularity was measured using Scion Image 4.0.3.2. The expression of HIF-1α was tested using immunohistochemisty. Results Mean ADC value was higher in the low grade astrocytoma than that in the high grade astrocytoma (t=7.300, P<0.001). The tumor Cellularity was higher in the high grade astrocytoma than that in the low grade astrocytoma (t=-3.845, P<0.01). HIF-1αexpression could be demonstrated in the low grade [(20.08±10.01)%] and high grade [(47.91±19.03)%] astrocytoma. The negative correlation was demonstrated between ADC value and HIF-1αand tumor Cellularity (r=-0.756,-0.617;P<0.001). The positive correlation was demonstrated between HIF-1αand tumor Cellularity (r=0.622, P<0.001). Conclusion ADC value can be used to discriminate the low and high grade astrocytoma, and the role of HIF-1αshould be further to study with enlarged sample.

Objective To summarize the experience of unilateral endonasal transsphenoidal pituitary adeno-ma resection under neuroendoscopy. Methods 48 patients with pituitary adenoma were treated by unilateral en-donasal transsphenoid under neuroendoscopy. During the dissection of the adenoma, attention should be paid to pro-tect pituitary stalk and gland. Results The postoperative MRI detection revealed that the tumor was totally removed in 40(83.3%) cases,subtotally in 6(12.5%) ,and partially in 2(4.2%). All patients were followed up for 10 -36 months. Among the 38 patients with increased hormone level ,24 recovered to normal hormone level postoperatively; 14 were improved evidently;pituitary insufficiency was not found in 38 cases;7 patients have temporary diabetes in-sipidus but the symptom was released in three weeks. Conclusion The surgical treatment of pituitary adenoma by neuroendoscopic unilateral endonasal transsphenoid has its advantage in achieving both complete resection of tumor and sound protection of pituitary stalk and gland. Neuroendoscopic operation offers greater help in improving the pa-tients' quality of survival.

The J-curve phenomenon in the antihypertensive treatment of cardiovascular disease has had more theoretical and experimental evidence and has been recognized by most researchers.However,there are a few related studies and reports about whether antihypertensive treatment has the J-curve phenomenon in ischemic stroke.It has not yet reached a consensus.This article reviews this phenomenon and expecting it to contribute to the blood pressure mangement of ischemic stroke.

Aim To screen alteration in protein level in brain tissue between middle cererbral artery occlusion(MCAO) and the total saponins of Rubus Parviflolius L(TSRP) treated rats and to learn the mechanism of nerve-protecting effects of TSRP after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.Methods The MCAO 2 h reperfusion of 24 h model was established in rats,2-DE was applied to preparein step 1 for the separation of protein,and imaging analysis of gels was done with Image-Master 2D software.Different protein spots expressing between cerebral ischemic reperfusion(CIR) model and TSRP group were cut from the gels for the MS analysis,Different protein spots expressing between cerebral ischemic tissue administered with or without TSRP were also cut from the gels for the MS analysis.MALDI-TOF-MS and database search: protein spots from step 2 were subject to in-gel digestion and MALDI-TOF-MS analysis,which resulted in the peptide mass fingerprint spectra(PMF).PMF were search against swiss-prot database using search program of Ms-Fit.Results By comparative proteome analysis,29 expression-altered spots were excised for MS and informatics analysis,comparing to the CIR model,18 proteins up-regulated in the TSRP group,11 proteins down-regulated,7 spots of them were identified and characterized.Conclusion The protective effect of TSRP on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion is the result of the participation of a number of proteins.
