Objective To investigate the rule of the cerebral tissues aquaporin-4(AQP-4) expression in acute and chronic hepatic failure mice.To study the molecular biologic mechanism of the diffusion weighted imaging(DWI).Methods Sixty five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups randomly,including acute(n=25),chronic hepatic failure(n=25)and control group(n=15). Thioacetamide(TAA)intraperitoneal injection produces the acute and chronic hepatic failure models.All rats in groups were examined with MR DWI.We Observed the distribution of abnormal signal on DWI.The DWI single values of top and lateral cortex of parietal lobe,peripheral region of lateral ventricle in the highest hyperintensity section of brain were measured.Blood ammonia values were examined.The pathologic and immuno-histochemistry and RT-PCR examination for brain specimen were performed.All date were analyzed with statistical methods.Results The mean values of blood ammonia were significantly different (P0.05).Conclusions Increase of the blood ammonia was the main cause for the brain energy metabolic abnormality and AQP-4 mRNA and protein expression.The hyperammonemia was the key factor in the occurrence and development of the hepatic brain edema.The abnormal findings in DWI signal could reflect the range and degree of the brain edema and AQP-4 protein expression.

To study the mechanism of liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and the therapeutic effects of the extract mixture of Dangyao (Swertia pseudochinensis Hara) and Shuifeiji (Silybum marianum Gaertn) on NAFLD rats with liver injury.

Objective Using the technology of siRNA to inhibit gene expression of T cells'nonreceptor tyrosine protein kinase Lck in asthmatic mice,and to study the effect of siRNA inhibited Lck to the function of T cells in asthmatic mice.Methods The 21 - 23 bp RNA fragments of mouse T cell Lck were made by chemosynthesis.INTERFERinTMsiRNA Transfection Reagent was used as transfection reagent to transfect the siRNA into the spleen T cells of asthmatic mice for 48 hours.Then T cells were mixed with bone marrow dendritic cells (DC) of asthmatic mice for another 48 hours.Cell culture suspension was collected and the level of IL-4,IL-13,IL-2,INF-γ were detected with respondent ELISA kits; Western Blot was used to identify if the expression of Lck was blocked.Results The expression of Lck in T cells almost could not be detected in siRNA interference group.The levels of IL-4 and IL-13 in siRNA interference group( 10.19 ± 1.66,12.34 ±0.79) were lower than no-siRNA interference(28.06 ±2.88,27.87 ± 1.61 )and control group ( 22.07 ± 2.5 1,20.47 ± 2.37 ),and the difference was statistical significant ( P ＜0.01 ).Conclusions Special siRNA could block the expression of special gene,and Lck specific siRNA could block the activation and differentiation of T cells and reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in asthmatic mice.

Objective To investigate the onset of left ventricular remodeling (LVRM) after acute myocardium infarction (AMI) and its changes within 6 hours in dogs on echocardiography. Methods AMI was induced in 14 dogs by ligating the left anterior descending arteries. Eight myocardium infarcted models were successful and were sacrified for pathological study. The indices of LVRM: wall infarction thickness (WIT), the wall motion score index (WMSI), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were evaluated before and 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h and 6 h after operation. Results Compared with the pre-operation, WIT and LVEF were decreased (P<0.01), LVESV and WMSI were increased (P<0.01), and LVEDV was increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01) at every time point after operation. WIT had no significant difference at 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5h and 6h after operation (P＞0.05). LVEDV, LVESV were higher (P<0.05) and LVEF was lower (P<0.05 or P<0.01) at 4 h, 5 h, and 6 h than at 1 h, and 2 h after operation. WMSI was higher at 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, and 6 h than at 1h (P<0.05). Conclusions In our experiment, LVRM occurred at 1 h after AMI in dogs. Thus echocardiography may evaluate early LVRM.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of programmed death-1 (PD1) inhibitor combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of huge primary liver cancer.Methods:From June 2016 to December 2019, the clinical data of 31 patients with huge primary liver cancer enrolled in the Central Hospital of Lishui were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The tumor size ranged from 10.1 to 18.8 cm, with an average of (14.2±2.3) cm. The patients were divided into TACE group (TACE treatment, 18 cases) and combined group (one week after TACE, patients receiving a dose of 200 mg PD1 inhibitor administration every 21 days, 13 cases), according to whether patients receiving PD1 inhibitors. The patients were followed up. The disease control rate (DCR) were compared between the two groups using Mann-Whitney U test. The median overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results:The DCR in combined group (53.8%, 7/13) was higher than that in TACE group (22.2%, 4/18), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.13, P=0.04). The median PFS (5.0 months) in combined group was longer than that in TACE group (3.0 months), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.39, P=0.04). The median OS (15 months) in combined group was longer than that in control group (9 months), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.51, P=0.02). Conclusion:The combine PD1 inhibitors with TACE is an effective and safe therapy for huge primary liver cancer.

Objective To evaluate the Carryover between the chemistry and immunoassay in Beckman Coulter Laboratory Au-tomation System and decide to whether sharing samples for testing between chemistry and immunoassay systems or not. Methods According to a certain order,high concentration samples and low concentration samples of HCG with different sample volume (500 μl,2 000 μl)were tested on Beckman AU5421 automatic biochemical analyzer.The HCG of low concen-tration samples were then tested to evaluate the carryover between the chemistry and immunoassay and explored the correc-tive procedure to deal with the carryover by increasing special cleaning process of beckman AU5421 automatic biochemistry analyzer.Results Under different sample volume,the carryover in a single module and as a whole of the beckman AU5421 automatic biochemistry analyzer were 5.44,15.47,23.51 and 45.96 ppm respectively (t=14.553,P <0.001;t=5.527,P =0.005;t=3.985,P =0.016;t=20.457,P <0.001).By increasing special cleaning process the carryover of 0.22 ppm was detected in 500 μl sample volume of the beckman AU5421 automatic biochemistry analyzer as a whole.Conclusion The car-ryover between the chemistry and immunoassay in Beckman Coulter Laboratory Automation System could been sovled by in-creasing special cleaning process of beckman AU5421 automatic biochemistry analyzer.
