Objective To investigate the expression changes of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) and aquaporin-9 (AQP9) in rats after traumatic brain injury, and explore the roles of AQP1 and AQP9 in the development of brain edema.Methods In an impact-acceleration head injury model of rat, brain water content was measured by wet-dry weight method at 1 h, 6 h, 24 h, 48 h and 168 h after brain trauma. The expressions of AQP1 and AQP9 in brains were investigated by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results Brain water content increased in the injuried brain tissues after 1 h post-injury, reached peak at 24 h and returned at 168 h. Both expressions of AQP1 and AQP9 were induced in reactive astrocytes adjacent to injury sit at 6 h and 24 h after brain trauma. Staining of AQP1 in the endothelial cells was not present in normal rat brains but appeared strong after brain trauma.Conclusion A remarkable induction expression of AQP1 or AQP9 after brain trauma may participate in the development of brain edema.

Objective To evaluate the subject's absorbed dose,equivalent dose and effective dose.Methods The CBCT unit was Implagraphy and three scan projections were selected such as mandible,maxilla and temporamandibular joint (TMJ).Thermoluminescent dosimeter tubes were used to record the absorbed dose at special positions in the head and neck region of an adult skull and tissue-equivalent phantom.16 interested organs included pituitary,lens,parotid glands,submandibular glands,sublingual glands、diploe,spongy bone of the chin and cervical vertebra,skins of cheeks and nuchal region,thyroid and esophagus.The absorbed dose was measured in these organs,and then the effective dose(E1990,E2007)were calculated according to different ICRP tissue weighting factors.Results The absorbed dose of mandible,maxilla and TMJ scan varied from (0.99 ±0.09) to (12.85 ±0.09)mGy,(0.93 ±0.01) to (13.07 ±0.02) mGy and (0.68 ±0.01) to (10.18 ± 0.04)mGy.There was significant difference among the three scan projections (F =19.61-30992.27,p ＜ 0.05).The equivalent doses of lens and skin were (1.11± 0.07)-(5.76 ± 0.06) mSv and (6.96 ± 0.06)-(10.64 ± 0.07) mSv.There was significant difference among the three scan projections(F =4473.02,9385.50,P ＜0.05).The effective dose(E1990,E2oo7) was [(191.35±1.53),(325.17 ±2.58) μSv] for mandible scan,[(106.62 ±2.17),(226.28 ±2.81)μSv] for maxilla scan,[(104.21 ± 1.02),(142.36 ± 1.90) μSv]for TMJ scan,respectively.Conclusions The valid measurement should be taken to reduce the subject' s dose such as a careful history and clinical examination before the performance of CBCT,the latest risk/benefit assessment,precise scan position,the shielding of thyroid as well as brain and the smaller volume size as well.

Objective To determine the level of defensins(HNP_(1-3))and interleukin-8(IL-8)in colon tissue of patients with ulcerative colitis(UC)and to explore the relationship between HNP_(1-3)and IL-8 and the severity of disease.Methods The level of HNP_(1-3)and IL-8 in colon mucosa of UC patients was detected by immunohistochemistry method.Results The levels of HNP_(1-3)and IL-8 in colon mucosa of UC patients were much higher than that of normal controls.The expression of HNP_(1-3)and IL 8 of UC patients was higher in involved mueosa than in corresponding normal mucosa.The expression of HNP_(1-3) and IL-8 was related to the extent of lesion and the degree of disease.The expression of HNP_(1-3)was significantly correlated with that of IL-8(r_s＝0.957,P＜0.01).Conclusions The induction of HNP_(1-3) and IL-8 was involved in process of inflammation and development of UC.Regulating mechanisms of HNP_(1-3)expression might be related with the induction of IL-8.

Methods Chest PA & LAT X-ray and CT film image of 40 pulmonary tuberculosis patients with complete information were collected and analyzed. Results (1)Most of intrapulmonary lesions located in superior lobe apicoposterior segment and lower lobe dorsal segment,next ones located in superior lobe anterior segment and lower lobe basal segment. (2)The show rate of the lesions on chest CT films was significantly higher than that of X-ray films. (3)The show rates of focal calcification, inner-mediastinum lymph node enlargement and inner-mediastinum lymph node calcification in chest CT films were significantly higher than that of X-ray films. Conclusion Image of chest CT can provide valuable evidence for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the disruption of blood-brain barrier (BBB) after brain trauma in rats using IgG immunohistochemical staining.MethodsAn impact-acceleration head injury model was established with rats. Histological changes of rats' brains were observed by HE staining and light and electron microscopes at 1 h, 6 h, 24 h and 7 d after injury, and BBB permeability was analyzed semi-quantitatively by IgG immunohistochemical staining at the same time points.ResultsThe spot bleeding and brain edema was present in the damage region after brain trauma and endothelial cell damage and astrocyte swelling could be found under electron microscope. The extravasations of IgG was detected in the injured hemisphere of rats at 1 h, and achieved the peak at 6 h, remained a high level up to 24 h, and decreased at 7th d.ConclusionThe disruption of BBB function occurs after brain trauma in rats, and detection of IgG extravasations tested by immunohistochemical staining is a simple and sensitive way to investigate BBB permeability.

Aim To investigate the effect of the inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A(HMG-CoA)reductase enzyme,simvastatin on E-Selectin ex-pression and adhesive function assay induced by CD40L.Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC)was cultured from ECV304 cell strain.Then E-Selectin expression and adhesion of lymphocytes to endothelial cells induced by CD40L and interfered with different concentrations of simvastatin or simvastatin(5 ?mol?L-1)+mevalonic acid were determined by RT-PCR and FCM analysis.Results Preincubation of HUVECs with simvastatin(0~10 ?mol?L-1)decreased the expression of E-Selectin induced by CD40L in a concentration-dependent manner.Mevalonic acid(400 ?mol?L-1)inhibited the restrain of simvastatin on E-Selectin expression.Moreover,preincubation with simvastatin,decreased significantly adhesion of lymphocytes to endothelial cells induced by CD40L.Conclusions Simvastatin inhibits activation of endothelial cells induced by the CD40L/CD40 pathway through HMG-CoA dependent effect.

Objective To explore the feasibility of applying small private online course (SPOC) in the course of Microcomputer Principle and Interface Technology to solve its problems in complicated knowledge points,abstract contents and difficulty in understanding.Methods The characteristics of the undergraduate students in the military medical university and SPOC mode were analyzed,and then the design and implementation of a SPOC-based Microcomputer Principle and Interface Technology course were explored in the military medical university.Results By applying the SPOC into the teaching of Microcomputer Principle and Interface Technology course,the student could find out the forgotten or leaked knowledge and reiterate them to reinforce the memory of those knowledge points,which promoted their self-regulation of learning.Besides,teaching the students with real cases not only increased the learner's enthusiasm but also strengthened the military medical background.The offline group discussion facilitated the students in understanding and application of knowledge.Conclusion Applying SPOC mode into PMIT teaching no doubt improves the effect and quality of teaching and learning.

Objective To investigate the effects of interlukin-10 (IL-10) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced liver injury in rats.Methods One hundred male Wistar rats,aged 10-14 weeks,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =20 each):control group (C group),LPS group,IL-10 group,HO-1 inducer cobalt protoporphyrin-Ⅸ group (Co group) and HO-1 inhibitor zinc protoporphyrin-Ⅸ group (Zn group).The animals in LPS,IL-10,Co and Zn groups received intraperitoneal LPS 20 mg/kg.IL-10,Co and Zn groups received recombinant human IL-10 1 μg at 3 h before LPS injection.Co and Zn groups received cobalt protoporphyrin-Ⅸ and zinc protoporphyrin-Ⅸ 25 mg/kg at 2 h before administration of recombinant human IL-10.Ten rats in each group were chosen at 24 h after LPS injection and blood samples were collected from the heart for determination of the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interlukin-1β (IL-1 β).The animals were then sacrificed and lungs removed for determination of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities,malonodialdehyde (MDA) content and expression of HO-1 mRNA in lung tissues.The left 10 rats in each group were chosen and the survival rates within 72 h after LPS administration were recorded.Results Compared with C group,the levels of serum ALT,AST,TNF-αand IL-1 β and MDA content in lung tissues were significantly increased,and GSH-Px and SOD activities in lung tissues and survival rates were decreased in LPS,IL-10,Co and Zn groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with LPS group,the levels of serum ALT,AST,TNF-α,IL-1β and MDA content in lung tissues were significantly decreased,GSH-Px and SOD activities in lung tissues and survival rates were increased,and the expression of HO-1 mRNA was up-regulated (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with IL-10 group,the levels of serum ALT,AST,TNF-α and IL-1β and MDA content in lung tissues were significantly increased,and GSH-Px and SOD activities in lung tissues and survival rates were decreased in group Zn (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change in the parameters mentioned above was found in Co group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion IL-10 can attenuate LPS-induced liver injury in rats by inducing the expression of HO-1.

Objective To present some revision surgery for correcting short and bulky outward appearance of reconstructed finger pulp in toe-to-hand transfer. Methods Since Sep. 1998 to Dec. 2006,in a series of 33 patients, 39 fingers had been reconstructed with 2nd toe. In order to change the shape of bulbous distal toe segment into a normal tapering fingertip, revisional operations had been designed, i.e. (1)Excision of bulky skin and excessive soft tissue from one or both sides of the finger pulp. (2)Transfer and inlaid the excised lateral soft tissue flap to the central constricting part of the finger pulp. (3)Full thickness skin graft to palmar central narrow part of toe pulp. 4. Rotational transfer of local lateral "L" shape flap. Results All the patients healed by first intention with no skin necrosis occurred. The bulbous rectangular shaped toe pulp were corrected and outward appearance were much improved in most cases. Though the outward appearance in one simple skin graft case was not satisfactory in correcting flexion deformity of distal segment and increased its circumference. Conclusion In toe-to-hand transfer, the distal segment of reconstructed finger often shown to have an bulbous toe pulp appearance, which may bring psychological burden to the patient and their relatives. Simple revisional surgery recommended here may yield favorable improvement.

BACKGROUND: Peritonitis is the common detective complications at the end-stage of renal failure patients during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment, which easily repeatedly occurred if not handled properly. Although the plumbing designs of peritoneal dialysis have done a lot of effort and improved in recent years, it still hard to avoid. OBJECTIVE: To explore the relative factors and treatments of infectious peritonitis complicated with CAPD. METHODS: Totally 115 cases received CAPD were selected, including 55 males and 60 females, aged (56.2?.7) years. 68 cases of which were suffered infectious peritonitis, aged (58.5?.3) years. All received a (30.3?.5)-month CAPD treatment. The relative factors such as the nutrition situation, whether complicated with diabetes mellitus or not, culture background, domestic environment, whether operating by special person and so on were investigated, and the relationship between those factors and infectious peritonitis were analyzed. The pathogen method was used to check pathogenic bacteria, and those patients were treated with irrigation of abdominal cavity and antibiotics in two ways, that is, systemic and intra-abdominalcavity. Hemodialysis instead of CAPD was used in those infectious peritonitis patients.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Those patients with good nutrition situation, higher culture background, better domestic environment, and operating by special person had low chances to infect peritonitis. And those patients with diabetes mellitus had high chances to infect peritonitis. Treatments of abdominal cavity and anti-infection in two ways-systemic and intra-abdominal cavities were effective to those infectious peritonitis patients. Gram-positive bacteria were the most common pathogen, which were susceptive to vancomycin and cefazolin. If the pathogen was gram-negative bacteria, etimicin sulfate, amikacin, and imipenem cilastatin could be selected. Infectious peritonitis complicated with CAPD affected by many factors. CAPD patients should be provided better nutrition and domestic situation. Also patients should operate in aseptic ways. Doctors should choose proper patients who can operate CAPD right.
