Objective To discuss the application of surface anatomy scanning in the department of cerebral surgery. Methods 24 cases were examined by surface anatomy scanning.These included 5 normal cases,10 gliomas,4 metastasis tumors,3 meningiomas,1 cavernous hemangioma and 1 cerebral infarction.Results 5 normal cases with surface anatomy scanning showed excellent visualization of the sulci and gyri on the surface of the brain.In 19 cases with cortical or subcortical lesions,14 cases showed the relationship between the lesion and the brain surface structures well.5 cases could not displayed because of server edema around the lesion.Conclusion The brain surface anatomy scanning is useful for the localization of cortical and subcortical pathology,for the diagnosis of the disease of sulci and gyri,can partly replace the navigation.

Thirty-six healthy women were divided into 3 groups according to their calcium intake at week 18 of gestation. The levels of their blood calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin were assayed during pregnancy and postpartum, and bone mineral density ( BMD) was measured postpartum. The levels of PHI and calcitonin were increasing with advancing pregnancy and reached the highest at the end of pregnancy. The women with higher calcium intake during pregnancy period had higher BMD than that of the women with ordinary diet during pregnancy period.

Objective To construct lentiviral expression vector of rat IP3R1 gene,and identify its silencing effect by using PC12 cell lines. Methods Oligo DNA sequences of 4 pairs of miRNA,named as miRNA1,miRNA2,miRNA3 and miRNA4,were designed according to IP3R1 gene sequence (GenBank:NM_001007235). The single strand of oligo DNA was annealed to form double strand DNA,and then connected with the empty plasmid pcDNA TM 6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR. By using gateway technology,the expression vector pcDNA TM 6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR-IP3R1 was linked into lentiviral destination vector pLenti6/V5-DEST to form the lentiviral expression vector pLenti6/V5-DEST-IP3R1,then it was transformed into infectious lentiviral particles and to infect PC12 cell lines. Silencing effect of gene IP3R1 was detected by Real-time PCR and Western blot. Results The sequence of expression vector pcDNA TM 6.2-GW/EmGFP-miR-IP3R1 was proved correct using sequencing method. After the transfection of letivirus vector pLenti6/V5-DEST-IP3R1 into PC12 cell lines,the IP3R1 mRNA and protein level were down-regulated 48h later,of which miRNA2 and miRNA3 sequence showed the best silencing effect,and the expression of IP3R1 in the blank control and negative control showed no significant changes. Conclusions Lentiviral expression vector pLenti6/V5-DEST-IP3R1 was constructed successfully. pLenti6/V5-DEST-IP3R1 may render the IP3R1 expression in PC12 cell lines down-regulated,and it provides a foundation for studying the function of calcium release channel IP3R1.

Objective To explore changes of expression of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the hippocam-pus of Aβ1-42-induced Alzheimer’s disease (AD) rat model. Methods Twenty-four SD rats were divided into control group, PBS group (PBS was injected into CA1 area of hippocampus) and AD model group (Aβ1-42 was injected into CA1 area of hip-pocampus). The escape latency was evaluated by Morris water maze in three groups. Nissl staining was used to detect the le-sions of hippocampal CA1 neurons. Levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in hippo-campus were measured by Western blot analysis. Real-time PCR was employed to examine the expressions of pro-inflamma-tory cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and the mRNA expressions of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-4, IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β). Re-sults Rats subjected to Aβ1-42 injection in bilateral hippocampus led to a ability reduction of learning and memory, a loss of neurons in hippocampus and an increase in the expression of APP, and a decrease in PP2A expression in the hippocampus. In AD hippocampus, The mRNA expressions of the pro-inflammatory mediator, IL-1β, TNF-αand IFN-γ, were significant-ly up-regulated, but the expressions of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-β, were markedly down-reg-ulated in AD group compared with those of control and PBS groups. Conclusion The pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory imbalance induced neuro-inflammation in AD rats, which was involved in pathogenesis of AD.

Objective To explore the role of Th17-and Treg-derived catecholamines during collagen-induced ar?thritis (CIA) progression. Methods Eighteen male DBA/1 mice were randomly divided into control group, CIA model groupⅠ(day 35) and CIA model groupⅡ(day 55). The CIA models were induced by typeⅡcollagen (CⅡ) injection from tails. mRNA expression of Th17 specific transcription factor include ROR-γt, cytokines, IL-17 IL-22, Treg specific transcription factor, Foxp3, cytokines, TGF-βand tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in lymph nodes were examined by real-time PCR. Co-local?ization of ROR-γt or Foxp3, with TH, vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT-2) or monoamine oxidase (MAO) in lymph nodes were observed by immunofluorescence staining. Results In lymph nodes of mice in CIAⅠgroup and CIAⅡgroup, mRNA expression of ROR-γt, IL-17, TH and IL-22 were upregulated, while mRNA expression of Foxp3 and TGF-βex?pression was downregulated compared to those expression in control group. The upregulated expression of IL-17 was signifi?cantly reduced in CIAⅡgroup compared with that in CIAⅠgroup. In the lymph nodes of both intact and CIA mice, co-lo?calization of ROR-γt or Foxp3 with TH, VMAT-2 or MAO was seen in some cells. The numbers of cells that are double-pos?itive of ROR-γt/TH,ROR-γt/VMAT-2 and ROR-γt/MAO IL-17 were increased in CIA groups compared to those in con?trol group. And they are significantly reduced in CIAⅡgroup compared with those in CIAⅠgroup. Conclusion The abili?ty to synthesize catecholamines in Th17 cells was increased in lymph node in mice from CIA groups compared to that in con?trol group. The increased catecholamines production from Th17 cells in lymph nodes may be involved in the anti-inflammato?ry progression in CIA.

Objective To investigate the application of hypocaloric parenteral nutrition in postoperarive elderly patients with gastric cancer. Methods 59 elderly patients aged 60- 79 years with gastric cancer after operation were randomly assigned to receive 84 kJ · kg -1.d -1 hypocaloric parenteral nutrition (29 cases) and 126 kJ · kg-1 · d -1 standard-calorie parenteral nutrition (30cases),totally 6 d from postoperative 2 d. Complications, serum proteins, immune function,inflammation,blood glucose, liver function and recovery time of gastrointestinal function were observed during nutritional support. Results The postoperative complication rate were 37.9％(11/29) in hypocalorie group and 43.3 ％ (13/30) in standard calorie group ( P＞0.05),mainly pulmonary infection.There were no ditferences in levels of serum albumin,total protein and prealbumin between two groups at postoperative 3 d and 6 d (P＞0.05).Peripheral blood lymphocytes and T lymphocyte subsets CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8- ratio were decreased after sugery,but CD8 1 values increased in two groups (P＞0.05).C reactive protein was increased significantly at postoperative 3 d compared with preoperation,and decreased at 6d than 3 d (P＞0.05).Blood glucose was decreased gradually at 3 and 6 d (P＞0.05).Postoperative liver function paraneters were elevated,no difference was found at 3 d (P＞0.05),and continued to rise at 6 d in standard calorie group than in hypocalorie group (P＜0.05). There was no difference in times of aerofluxus and cacation after operation between hypocalorie and standard calorie groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions Hypocaloric parenteral nutrition is a safe and effective method for nutrition support in postoperative elderly patients with gastric cancer.

A 66-year-old man was admitted for a 7-day history of painful blisters and erosions in the upper lip.Real-time PCR with herpes simplex virus (HSV) type-specific primers showed that the blister fluid and crusts were positive for HSV-1,but negative for HSV-2.Observation of the blister wall with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed 3 types of nucleocapsid in the karyoplast of epithelia cells,including the electron-translucent core,granular core and electron-dense core.Numerous matured viral particles with envelope were found in the cytoplasm,which were identified as HSV.The diagnosis was made as herpes simplex in the upper lip based on the above findings.PCR based molecular typing combined with observation of HSV particles via TEM may be an effective approach to the definite diagnosis of primary herpes simplex.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and etiological factors of cervical cancer in young Uygur women in Xinjiang.Methods" We reviewed 350 cases of young Uygur females diagnosed with cervical cancer in our hospital during 1998-2007.The patients were divided into two groups according to their admission time (1998～2002 group and 2003～2007 group).Results: The incidence of cervical carcinoma among yong Uygur women was 12.9% in the 1998-2002 group and 10.3% in the 2003-2007 group.The first symptom was vaginal contactive bleeding.In both groups, most patients were peasants, but the percentages of highbrow was higher in the 2003-2007 group.Patients in the 2003～2007 group were of older age at first marriage and had lower rate of abortion.There was no significant difference in histological type between the two groups.However, patients in the 2003-2007 group presented with much earlier stage of cervical cancer and 56.9% of them were of stage Ⅱ disease, compared with 18.1% in the 1998-2002 group (P<0.05).Squamous cell carcinoma was the dominant histological type.Conclusion: The incidence of cervical carcinoma in young Uygur women tends to decrease due to screening and advocation of late marriage, less reproduction in remote rural areas of Xinjiang.
