Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of brain-type hemodialysis disequilibrium syndrome(DDS) in dogs with acute renal failure. Methods Seventy-two hours after bilateral ureteral ligation,12 uremic dogs were hemodialyzed for 2 hours,yeilding decreases in plasma urea from (66. 76?13.70) mmol/L to (17. 85?5. 84)mmol/L( P

ObjectiveTo study the change of cholinergic neurons of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats after transplantation of the neural stem cells(NSCs) in hippocampus.MethodsAfter the vascular dementia model was reproduced,the rats were randomly divided into transplantation,dementia and pseudo-operative groups.8 weeks after operation,immunofluorescence was used to observe the survivors and migration of neural stem cells.Immunochemistry staining was used to observe the number of ChAT positive neurons in hippocampus.ResultsThe number of the ChAT positive neurons in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus were more significantly increased in transplantation group than that in dementia group. ConclusionChAT positive neurons can be found in hippocampus area of vascular dementia rats after transplanting NSCs into the hippocampus, which seem to be cholinergic neurons.

Objective To study the expression and relationship between adrenomedullin (ADM )and integrinαvβ3 in different pathological grades ,clinical stages and histologic subtypes of human osteosarcoma .Methods The expression positiverate ,intensity , the average optical density (ALD) of ADM and integrinαvβ3 in 30 osteosarcomacases was detected with immunohistochemical SABC technique and image analysis system .Each pathological section observed by two pathologists respectively in the case of unknown clinical and pathological information .At least five representative high field of vision counting 100 cells observed at random ,in this way the degree of tumor grade ,stage and cell staining were determined by two pathologist who unknown clinical and pathological data .Results The positive rate and intensity of ADM and integrinαvβ3 were significantly increased with the increase of osteosarco-ma stage(P<0 .05) and the difference was significant in each stage(P<0 .05) .The expression of ADM was positive correlated with the expression of integrinαvβ3 .Conclusion The expression of ADM and integrinαvβ3 in different clinicopathological grades osteosar-coma are positive associated with malignant degree of tumor ,which suggest that both of them play an important role in malignant biological behaviors of human osteosarcoma .

Objective:To test the effects of propofol on intracellular calcium free concentration ([Ca~(2+)]i) and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP_3) biological synthesis induced by norepinephrine (NE) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in aortic smooth muscle cells (ASMC)of rats for the mechanism of relaxtion of propofol on vascular smooth muscle.Method: Using the flurospectrophotometry and Fura-2/AM loading method,the changes of [Ca~(2+)]i levels in primary culture ASMC were measured,and using the specific, IP_3 assay system and isotope radioactive protein binding experiment IP_3 production levels in aortic smooth muscle were measured. Result:The baselines of [Ca~(2+)]i was decreased when primary culture ASMC was pretreated with propofol in 72 hours. Propofol inhibited [Ca~(2+)]i increase induced by NE and 5-HT in dose-dependent way. With extracellular calcium free or calcium channel blocker(Verapamil),inhibition of propofol on NE and 5-HT increasing [Ca~(2+)]i levels were decreased,but could not be cancelled. Propofol depressed IP_3 biological synthesis induced by NE and 5-HT in dose-dependent way. Conclusion:Relaxation of propofol on aortic smooth muscle is closely related to inhibiting IP_3- induced calcium release to decrease intracellular calcium concentration.

Objective To establish the model of P2 peptide-induced experimental autoimmune neuritis(EAN)in rats and explore the roles of Th_1/Th_2 type eytokines in EAN.Methods Lewis rats were grouped into EAN rats and control rats.The EAN rats were immunized by injection into both hind footpads of inoculums containing 100 ?g or 200 ?g of P2_(57-81)peptide and FCA while the control rats were immunized with FCA only.Clinical scores were compared at the maximum of disease.Supernatant productions of IFN- ?, IL-4 and IL-10 secreted by lymphocytes and obtained on day 14 after the immunization were examined. Histopathological assessment of sciatic nerves was made.Results Peak clinical scores of P2_(57-81)200 ?g (3.6?0.3)group were significantly higher than P2_(57-81)100 ?g group(2.2?0.6,P

0.05),but there were statistically difference within E15,E19,P2,P10(Pa
