Objective To explore the pathological changes of the livers from hepatic failure (HF)patients and its association with clinical disease stages.Methods Thirty-nine patients with liver failure caused by HBV infections were investigated,and none accompanied with hepatocellular carci- noma.The sections of tissue were taken from the liver after liver transplantation and stained with he- matoxylin eosin(H&E)or RT(reticular fiber)staining.The pathological features were analyzed and compared between the clinical and pathological diagnosis.Results 1.The range and the grade of the pathological changes were all well-proportioned in the whole liver but quite asymmetrical in the same spicemen.2.4 cases with clinical diagnosis of cirrhosis(active stage)were in accordance with the pathological diagnosis.Only 17 in 35cases can be pathologically diagnosed as chronic severe hepatitis (SH),while the other 18 cases were pathologically diagnosed as cirrhosis(active stage).Conclu- sion There were a great inconsistency between the clinical and pathological diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of Suanzaoren Decoction on hippocampus, cortex BDNF and TrKB gene expression in depression model rats. Methods Depression rat models were established by social-isolated raise and chronic stress stimulation. Suanzaoren decoction was administrated to the models. RT-PCR was adopted to detect the expression of mRNA BDNF and TrKB genes. Results The mRNA expression of BDNF and TrKB in cortex of Suanzaoren decoction high dose group、medium dose group and clomipramine group(0.213±0.094, 0.639±0.023, 1.032±0.015, 1.089±0.014, 1.580±0.012, 1.860±0.019)were all higher than the model group(0.032±0.008, 0.001±0.000), showing a significant difference among four groups (P<0.01), and the mRNA expression of BDNF and TrKB in hippocampus of Suanzaoren decoction high dose group, medium dose group and clomipramine group(0.213±0.094, 0.639±0.023, 1.032±0.015, 1.089±0.014, 1.580± 0.012, 1.860±0.019)were higher than the model group (0.021±0.015, 0.125±0.013), there was a significant difference between four groups(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the mRNA expression of low-dose group of Suanzaoren decoction in both cortex and hippocampus of BDNF and TrKB was not significantly different to the model group(P>0.05). Conclusion Suanzaoren decoction can increase the expression of BDNF and TrKB gene, promote neuronal proliferation, and resist depression.

Objective To investigate correlation between post-stroke depression (PSD) and multiple factors during onset of acute cerebral infarction. Methods Depression was measured with Hamilton Depression Rating Scales (HAMD) in 58 patients with acute cerebral infarction, and their neurological function were evaluated by neurological function defect (NFD) score. Their immunoglobulin G (IgG) index was calculated and level of nitric oxide (NO) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was measured. Lesion and nature of cerebral infarction in 58 patients with acute stroke were located by CT. All the data were statistically analyzed with student-t test and ? 2 test, as well as linear regression model. Results Seventeen of 58 patients of stroke appeared PSD with an occurrence rate of 29.3%. Occurrence rate of PSD was significantly higher in patients with cerebral infarction than in those with cerebral hemorrhage  2=4.86, P

Aim To discuss whether specific mitochon-drial ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener diazoxide ( DZ ) postconditioning activates RISK signaling path-way to protect isolated rat hearts against ischemica reperfusion injury ( IRI ) . Methods Langendorff de-vice was used to establish rat in vitro model of myocar-dial ischemia reperfusion. SD rats were randomly di-vided into normal group ( NOR ) , control group ( CON ) , diazoxide after treatment group ( DZ ) , and LY294002 antagonistic nitrogen Triazine group ( DZ +LY) , with 8 cases in each. The following was com-pared:①whether heart function of each group changed at the end of equilibration and reperfusion; ② at the end of myocardial perfusion and separation, protein was extracted, and protein kinase B ( PKB / Akt ) , P70S6 kinase (P70S6K), endothelial nitric oxide syn-thase ( eNOS) phosphorylation level of expression were analysed by Western blot. Results ① Indicators of changes in heart function: for DZ group at the end of reperfusion , HR , CF , LVDP , LVEDP , +d p/d tmax and -dp/dtmax were significantly better than those in CON group and DZ + LY group ( P <0.01 ) , but worse than those in NOR group ( P <0.01 ); there was no statistical difference in cardioac function at the end of equilibration. ② For DZ group at the end of reperfu-sion Akt, P70S6K, eNOS phosphorylation level of ex-pression were significantly higher than those in NOR group, CON group, and DZ + LY group (P<0.01). There was no difference in expression level of ERK1/2 phosphorylation ( P >0.05 ) . Conclusion Diazoxide postconditioning through the activation of RISK signa-ling pathway can protect isolated rat hearts against is-chemia reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate whether pregnant rats exposure to ketamine cause offspring changes in space cognitive abilities and exploration abilities.Methods 3-month Sprague-Dawley female rats ( n =24)were randomly divided into four groups:group N (control group),group K1 (small doses of ketamine group),group K2 ( clinical anesthesia dose of ketamine group),group K3 ( large doses of ketamine group).3-month Sprague-Dawley male rats ( n =4) and female rats were mated at the same cage by the proportion of 2∶ 1.Pregnant mice were treated at tenth day:group N were treated saline with equal-volume to ketamine vein injection; group K1,group K2,group K3 administered vein injection 3,8,20mg/kg of ketamine.Then the 20-day offspring rats'learning and memory were assessed used Open Field Test ( record the time of the offspring in the central case through the number of grid within 2 min ) and Hole Board Test ( Counting the times of offspring stretch into the hole in 5 min) at postnatal days 20.Results In the Open Field Test,the retention time in central check of group N,group K2 and group K3 were (2.45 ± 1.23)s,(6.42 ±2.50)s,(6.41 ±2.19)s.Compared with group N,the retention time in central check of group K2 and group K3 were significantly higher (F=13.42,P＜0.01 ),and group K1 were not significant different ( t =1.33,P＞0.01 ),and the locomotion of group K1,group K2,group K3 were significantly reduced( ( 15.33 ± 6.81 ),( 13.75 ± 5.93 ),( 16.92 ± 6.54 ),F =4.24,P ＜ 0.05 ).In the Hole Board Test,the times of offspring stretch into the hole were not significant different comparing with the control group(F=2.17,P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion The dose of ketamine that equivalented clinical anesthesia can affect offspring rats' space cognitive abilities; but the exploring cognitive ability were not significantly influenced.
