The experiment was designed to simulate active training with animal model. A dynamic and static trai-ning program for adult rats was carried out 30-60'/day, lasted from 25 to 232 days. The rats were killedperiodical1y in batches and the sections were prepared for exploring histological changes in knee and ankle areas on L/M. Degenerative cbanges in quadriceps and gastrocanemius muscles appeated by degrees aftet a period of in-tensive training. The nuclei proliferated in chains or clusters arranged in the center and the edge of thefibers. The number of nuclei for each chain or cluster could be as much as 20 or 30. Meanwhile, therewere also ischemic changes in small vessels. All these were the characteristic changes induced by mictotraumain muscles under repeated active and strenous training. In calcaneal and patellar ateas, there were changes of cartilaginous degeneration, necrosis and prolifera-tion (cartilaginous exostoses and osteophytes) too. The typical changes of enthesiopatby---degeneration, necrosis and proliferation (osteophyte) could beobserved in calcaneal tendon and its insertion area and in superior insertion atea of lower patella. The occur-rence of enthesiopathy in this experiment migbt be related to tke stress of traction force within muscle andcartilage during running in upward treadmill.

Objective To investigate the effects of high-fat diet induced insulin resistance on fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) and its receptors expression in ApoE~(-/-) mice. Method Male ApoE~(-/-) mice were randomly divided into normal-chow group(NF,n=20)and high-fat fed group(HF,n=20) and fed for 16 weeks. The insulin sensitivity and glucose-lipid metabolism in awake mice were evaluated by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique combined with 3-[~3H]-glucose as a tracer. The Mrna expressions of FGF-21,β-klotho, and FGFR1-4 were measured by quantitative real-time PCR. FGF-21 protein levels were determined by Western blot. Results Fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin and free fatty acids, triglycerides, free fatty acids, and cholesterols were significantly elevated in HF group compared with NF group(all P<0.01). During the steady-state of clamp, plasma insulin was significantly higher in HF group than that in NF group(P<0.01), and glucose infusion rate was also significantly decreased(P<0.01). At the end of insulin clamp, glucose disappearance rate was significantly lower in HF group than that in NF groups(P<0.01). Hepatic glucose production in NF group was suppressed by 70% ,while in HF group it was suppressed by 51%. The FGF-21 Mrna expressions of hepatic and adipose tissues in HF group were significantly increased compared with NF group(both P<0.01), and β-klotho Mrna expressions increased(P<0. 05). In hepatic and adipose tissues, FGFRI, Mrna expressions were higher in HF group than those in NF group(both P<0.01) ,and FGFR3 Mrna increased(P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively). In hepatic tissue,FGFR4 Mrna levels were significantly up-regulated in HF group(P<0. 05). Plasma FGF-21 levels were elevated in HF group compared with NF group(P<0.01) ,and FGF-21 protein expressions of hepatic and adipose tissues were also increased(both P<0.05). Conclusion FGF-21, β-klotho, FGFR1, and FGFR3 were significantly up-regulated in ApoE~(-/-) mice fed by high-fat diet, and they might be the targets in regulating glucose-lipid metabolism by FGF-21.

Objective To evaluate the assessment of tumor's size with ultrasound in research of prognosis of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Clinical data of 148 patients with HCC who underwent liver transplantation were analyzed retrospectively. Results One-, 2-,3-,and 5-year overall actuarial survival were 73.3% ,45.6% ,35.4% ,and 32.1%,respectively. One-,2-,3-,and 5-year overall recurrence-free survival were 70.7 %, 44.3 %, 38. 5%, and 34. 5%, respectively. The overall tumor recurrence rate was 43.2%. Univariate analysis indicates that (the Kaplan-Meier method with the Log-Rank test) the total tumor burden (TTB) (χ2=15.098,P=0.001) was found to be significantly affecting the actuarial survival. While TTB (χ2=29. 038, P<0.001) was for recurrence-free survival. In multivariate analysis (with the multivariate Cox proportional hazards model), TTB (R2=1.610, P =0. 008) was found to be an independent predictor of actuarial survival. On the other hand, TTB (R2 =2. 206, P<0.001) was identified as the prognostic factor independently related to recurrence-free survival. Conclusions TTB is an independent prognostic factor for patients with liver transplantation for HCC. Assessment of tumor size with ultrasound is beneficial to the evaluation of indication for liver transplantation when patients with HCC were concerned.

To synthesize salbutamol immunogen and develop an enzyme immunoassay (ELISA), a new salbutamol immunogen was synthesized using 4-aminobenzoic acid as a linker to connect hapten with carrier protein. An enzyme immunoassay based on the antibody prepared was developed and applied to detect salbutamol residue spiked in swine liver. An unusual coating antigen, clenbuterol-ovalbumin (OVA) conjugate instead of salbutamol-OVA conjugate, was used in the immunoassay and the results were discussed based on the structures of related compounds. The antibodies showed high sensitivity in the heterologous assay when using clenbuterol-OVA as a coating antigen, with an IC50 value of 8.97 ng mL(-1) toward salbutamol. The antibodies prepared showed high cross-reactivity with clenbuterol (107%) and were promising for the simultaneous determination of salbutamol and clenbuterol residues in food and food products. Recovery rates from the salbutamol-spiked swine liver samples were in the range of 70%-99%, while the intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation were <13.3% and <14.3%, respectively. In summary, the antibodies of salbutamol have been successfully prepared. Sensitive and stable analysis for the detection of salbutamol residues in swine liver was obtained based on the competitive ELISA methods developed in this study.
