The establishment animal model of Graves’ disease contributes to the study of etiology, pathogenesis and therapeutic modalities. After decades of studies and making improvements, the method of building mice model of Graves’disease has achieved a great development. Although there were many reports of animal model building in Graves’disease, as a mature technology A-subunit of thyrotropin receptor( TSHR)-expressing adenovirus was used to establish Graves’disease mice model, which has been accepted widely because of its high efficacy.

OBJECTIVE: To probe into the overall situation about the study on compatible stability of drugs. METHODS: The compatible stability of drugs reported in a total of 113 articles in 2005 in 52 kinds of periodicals were retrieved from CHKD and summarized analytically. RESULTS: The drug categories involved were chiefly antibiotics (59%), Chinese traditional medicines or Chinese drug components (20%) and other drugs (21%). Quantitative analyses in 91 articles were chiefly conducted by ultraviolet spectrophotometry (79%) or HPLC (20%). CONCLUSION: Because the ultraviolet spectrophotometry was greatly used and some experimental designs were not well-knit enough, the reliability of experimental results of compatible stability of drugs might be seriously affected, which poses a great danger to the clinical compatible use of drugs.

Objective:To observe the 5-year outcomes and complications after cataract extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation in children with bilateral congenital cataract.Methods:An observational case series study was performed.A total of 72 children (144 eyes), aged 2 to 7 years, who received intraocular lens (IOL) implantation combined with posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexies and anterior vitrectomy after cataract extraction for bilateral congenital cataract in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2007 to January 2012 were enrolled.All the patients underwent refractive correction and amblyopia training two weeks after the second operative eye underwent surgery.The patients were divided into 2-3 years old group (64 eyes), 4-5 years old group (48 eyes) and 6-7 years old group (32 eyes) according to their age at surgery.The preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refraction, axial length, corneal curvature, binocular visual function and postoperative complications were observed during the 5-year follow-up period.The influence of age at surgery on postoperative BCVA in one eye at the final follow-up visit was analyzed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of The Affiliated First Hospital of Zhengzhou University (No.2020-KY-219), and written informed consent was obtained from guardians of the subjects before treatment.Results:The mean myopic shift was -2.10(-2.90, -1.90), -1.73(-2.50, -2.10) and-0.52(-2.00, -0.28)D in the 2-3 years old group, 4-5 years old group and 6-7 years old group, respectively, and the axial elongation in the three groups was (1.41±0.32), (0.96±0.51), and (0.52±0.26)mm, respectively, and the differences among the three groups were statistically significant ( H=19.85, P<0.01; F=13.24, P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in preoperative and postoperative corneal curvature among the three groups (all at P>0.05).The BCVA was significantly improved in all the eyes after operation, and a certain binocular visual function was obtained, and the visual function in the 2-3 years old group was better than that of 4-5 years old group and 6-7 years old group (all at P<0.05).The BCVA at the end of following-up was 0.3 or better in 116 eyes (80.56%), and was better than 0.8 in 28 eyes (19.44%).The regression analysis results showed that children younger at surgery had better visual outcome (postoperative BCVA=0.959-0.104 operative age of patient; R2=0.539, P<0.01). Conclusions:The recovery of visual function in children with binocular congenital cataract is related to the age at operation.The younger the age at operation is, the better the recovery of visual function will be.Timely, systematic and standardized refractive correction, amblyopia treatment and binocular visual function training after operation are helpful to the development and reconstruction of visual function.

Five non-anesthetized dogs were intravenously infused with 4% pyrithione at a constant rate of 2 ml per minute for 5 min.During the course of treatment,experimental animals had salivation, nausea, vomiting, urination and defecation. In according with the accumulation of infused drug,the symptoms got worse and worse progressively. Finally, convulsion and respiratory failure appeared and death occured due to heart arrest. One hour after infusion and just before death, the concentration of pyrithione in the blood was 341? 180?g/ml and 657?158?g/ml respectively.The average accumulative lethal dose of pyrithione by intravenous infusion was 0.77?0.07 g/kg for dogs.

BACKGROUND:Liver cancer pathogenesis and intervention have attracted increasing attentions. Mesenchymal stem cel s become a popular tool for cel cancer research, because of their low immunogenicity and tumor tropism. At present, mesenchymal stem cel s have been applied to the study of liver cancer.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the advances of mesenchymal stem cel s used in liver cancer in basic and clinical research.
METHODS:An online retrieval of CNKI and Pubmed database was performed by the first author for the articles about mesenchymal stem cel s and effect of modified mesenchymal stem cel s on hepatoma carcinoma cel s published from January 2004 to January 2013. The key words were“mesenchymal stem cel , liver cancer, tumor”in Chinese and English. Repetitive research was excluded, and 47 studies met the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Stem cel s are seldom reported in liver cancer, and the limited present study show that mesenchymal stem cel s may have a certain influence on the hepatoma carcinoma cel proliferation, invasion and biological behavior. However, due to the differences of cel lines used by the various laboratories, experimental conditions, animal models, as wel as infusion means of stem cel s, experimental results are also inconsistent. Scholars have conducted a series of studies on the mechanism of the Wnt pathway and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand pathway. Tropism of mesenchymal stem cel s to tumor cel s, including liver cancer is widely recognized, so scholars imported therapeutic genes and drugs into mesenchymal stem cel s to interfere with the development of liver cancer, and have achieved some progress. This evidence provides new avenues for cel therapy for liver cancer. Less safety studies in vivo and clinical trials of mesenchymal stem cel s are available, therefore security risks deserve further research.

0.05～0.2?l of HRP (Sigma Ⅵ) were introduced into the periaqueduetal gray (PAG) of 45 rats at the superior collicular level, each brain was sectioned and processed with DAB, BDHC, O-D and TMB reactions. 29 were chosen for analysis and according to the locations of the injection center and the extent of reaction, were divided into 3 groups:1. The injection center was found in the lateral part of PAG; the reaction only involved a small area within PAG (11 rats), labeled cells were seen in PAG, tectum, reticular formation (RF) and dorsal raphe nucleus.2. The injection center was in the dorsolateral part of PAG; the reaction area extended out of PAG to the nearby RF and tectum (9 rats); labeled cells were seen in the structures mentioned in group 1 as well as in habenular nucleus (hn), parafascicular nucleus (PFN), hypothalamic nuclei (anterior, posterior, ventromedial, dorsomedial, lateral), thalamic nuclei (lateral, reticular, medial part of ventral nucleus), paraventricular gray (PVG), nucleus of the optic tract, nucleus of posterior commissure (NPC), parabigeminal nucleus (PBN), locus ceruleus, ventral nucleus of lateral geniculate body, entopeduncular nucleus.3. The injection center was in the lateral or ventrolateral part of PAG, the reaction area extended to the nearby RF, tegmentum and part of tectum (9 rats), labeled cells were seen in the structures mentioned in group 1 as well as in substantia nigra, H_1, H_2, zona inserta, HN, PFN, PVG, NPC, PBN, locus ceruleus, pretectral area and nuclei of hypothalamus. In this group 3 rats were processed with TMB reaction. Labeled cells were seen not only in the above-mentioned structures but also in the deep layers of anterior cingulate cortex (areas 23 and 24), nucleus raphe magnus, nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis, periventricular gray of 4th ventricle, dentate nucleus of cerebellum, lamina Ⅴ～Ⅶ of cervical spinal cord (the other segments were left out), preoptic and supraoptic nuclei, suprachiasmatic nucleus, anterior nucleus of mammillary body, medial nucleus of amygdaloid nucleus, spinal nucleus of nerve Ⅴ. The labelled cells were seen chiefly in the ipsilateral side. Neuronal connections also were analysed according to the disparity in labelled structures.

Objective To investigate the effects of flumazenil and naloxone on scopolamine-induced impairment of spatial working memory in rats.Methods Forty pathogen-free SD rats weighing 160-200 g were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=10 each):group I control(group C);group IIscopolamine(group S);group III flumazenil+scopolamine(group SF)and group IV naloxone+scopolamine(group SN).Scopolamine 0.8 mg/kg was administered IP once a day for 3 consecutive days in group II-IV.In group SF and SN flumazenil 0.5 mg/kg and naloxone 2 mg/kg were administered IP respectively once a day for 3 consecutive days in addition to scopolamine.Thirty minutes after last IP administration,cognitive function was assessed using Y-maze.The animals were killed after cognitive function assessment and bilateral hippocampi Were isolated for determination of mAChRM1 mRNA expression(by RT-PCR)and detection of ChAT positive neurons(by immuno-histochemistry).Results Cognitive dysfunction developed in group S as compared with control group and was ameliorated in group SF and SN.The number of ChAT positive neurong and mAChRM1 mRNA expression were significantly decreased in group S compared with control group and were significantly higher in group SF and SN than in group S.Conclusion Flumazenll and naloxone can ameliorate the scopolamine-induced impairment of spatial working memory by improving cholinergic neuron function.

Objective To evaluate the advantages of MR LAVA multi-phase dynamic contrast enhancement in abdominal MRI.Methods 42 cases which clinically suspected liver lesions and 15 normal volunteers underwent MRI examination,including routine T_1WI and T_2WI scan,T_1W 2D and 3D FSPGR,LAV A multi-phase contrast enhancement.The detecting rates of 2D,3D and LAVA images were analysed and the signal noise ratio(SNR)of the liver and spleen was observed.Results 68 lesions were detected by LAVA sequence,the detecting rate was 100%,the accurate rate of diagnosis was 95.6%(65/68),while the detecting rates of the lesions were 91.2%(62/68)and 89.7%(61/68)with 3D T1W FSPGR and 2D T1W FSPGR,respectively,the accurate rates in diagnosing the lesions were 76.5%(52/68)and 70.6%(48/68)with 3D and 2D sequences,respectively.The SNR of liver,spleen of 15 normal volunteers were:29.68±2.31 in liver,36.21 ±3.67 in spleen at LAVA plain scan,46.21 ±5.32 in liver,58.75±4.68 in spleen at 2D T_1W FSPGR,19.79±2.23 in liver,23.63±2.14 in spleen at 3D T_1W FSPGR,41.75±5.13 in liver,57.96±6.13 in spleen at LAVA contrast enhancement,56.33±5.63 in liver,63.21±5.32 in spleen at 2D contrast enhancement,29.05±4.68 in liver,46.37±5.17 in spleen at 3D contrast enhancement sequence.Conclusion LAVA multi-phase dynamic contrast enhancement is more predominant than T1W 2D and 3D and 3D FSPGR in displaying the lesions and blood vessels of liver.

Objective To discuss the effect of psychological intervention on prevention of posloperation infection in patients with breast cancer .Methods 336 patients with breast cancer after operation were divided into the control group and the intervention group with 168 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing while the intervention group Was given psychological intervention based upon routine nursing.The incidence of postopemtion infection was observed in the two groups.Results Incidenc of infection took place in 27 patients(8.04%)among 336 cases.The incidence rate infection in the control group was 12.50%,which was evidently higher than that of the intervention group(3.57%),x2=9.06,P＜0.01.The infection location and time in the intervention group was better than that of the control group.Conclusion Psychological intervention could reduce the incidence rate of posteperation infection in patients with breast cancer.

To analyze the CT features of solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas (SPTP), and correlation with the pathological findings of the disease so as to improve the diagnostic abilities, the CT images and the clinical manifestations, we retrospectively analyzed the pathological materials of 23 cases with surgery and pathology proved SPTP. In the 23 patients, 21 cases were female (91.3%) and 2 were male (8.7%). The most common symptom was abdominal discomfort with dull pain in 12 patients (52.2%). Others included the pancreatic mass that was detected incidentally during physical examination in 9 patients (39.1%), nausea/vomiting in 2 patients (8.7%). And 1 case of female patients had 2 lesions. In the 24 tumors, 6 cases were located at the head (25.0%), 3 were at neck (12.5%), 8 cases were at body (33.3%), and 7 cases were at tail of pancreas respectively (29.2%). The long-axis diameter ranged from 2.1 cm to 20.1 cm (mean 6.4 cm). 9 tumors were mostly solid component (37.5%), 10 tumors were contained similar proportion of solid and cystic part (41.7%), and mainly cystic components in 5 tumors (20.8%). In 9 of the 23 patients, calcification was found in the tumor (39.1%). In 2 of the 23 patients, bleeding was seen in the mass (8.7%). The dilation of intrahepatic bile duct was found in 1 patient (8.7%). Liver metastasis was showed in one patient (8.7%). On post-contrast CT scan, solid parts demonstrated mild enhancement at the arterial phase. At the portal phase, solid parts were enhanced continuously in all cases, and the enhancement degrees were lower than normal pancreatic tissue. The cystic parts of all lesions showed no enhancement. Pseudo papillary structure, hemorrhage, necrosis, or cystic degeneration were found in all patients by histological study. In a word, SPTP has comparatively characteristic CT imaging features consistent with histological features, when combined with clinical manifestations, could be correctly diagnosed and differentially diagnosed.
