Objective To evaluate clinical and endoscopic characteristics of ischemic colitis (IC), and to explore the methods for the early diagnosis of IC. Methods Thirty six patients diagnosed as IC in Hua dong Hospital from June 1975 to December 2000 were reviewed. All patients underwent colonoscopy with biopsy within 5 days of symptoms, and repeated the exam in 2 weeks to 2 months. Results Of the 36 cases (12 men and 24 women, average age 60.5 years old, range 35 84), 31 were over 50 years of age. IC usually presented with sudden onset of left lower quadrant abdominal pain, diarrhea and hematochezia. Patients' ischemic lesions were most often on the left colon. It consisted transient or reversible colitis in 30 cases, stricture colitis in 5 cases and gangrene colitis in only 1 case. Morphologic changes varied with the duration and severity of the injury. Conclusion Colonoscopy with biopsy is the main method for the diagnosis of IC. It should be performed in the early stage of the onset of symptoms.

Objective To detect both the protein and gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP 2,MMP 9) and its tissue inhibitor (TIMP 2) in tissues of bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC), and to study the correlation with the grading and staging of the neoplasm and with the prognosis. Methods 41 human BTCC ,15 normal bladder tissue were studied by Western Blot and RT PCR analysis followed by computer assisted image analysis in order to detect the A values of their expression. Results In BTCC, the A value of MMP 2, MMP 9 were increased significantly as compared to normal bladder epithelium. There was no statistical significant difference of A value of TIMP 2 between normal bladder tissue and bladder cancer tissue. The ratio of MMP 2/TIMP 2 in bladder cancer showed statistical significantly difference as compared with normal bladder tissue. Conclusions This study demonstrated there was a high expression of MMP 2 and MMP 9 in BTCC,by which collagen Ⅳ inside basement membrane of bladder was damaged.However, the ratio of MMP 2/TIMP 2 has more prognostic value than the expression of MMP 2 and MMP 9 alone.

Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of two methods for rat overactive bladder(OAB)model construction in?duced by intraperitoneal injection and intravesical instillation cyclophosphamide. Methods A total of 30 female SD rats weighting 200?250 g were randomly categorized into three groups:intraperitoneal injection?induced OAB(Ip?OAB),intravesical instillation?induced group(Iv?OAB)and con?trol group. Ip?OAB rats was i.p. administrated cycbophosphe mide three times in dose of 75 mg/kg body weight,while Iv?OAB rats received intravesi?cal instillation three times in drug dose of 75 mg/kg body weight. Control group rats received no treatment. Maximum bladder capacity(MBC),maxi?mum voiding pressure(MVP),frequency of spontaneous contraction of each group were recorded. The incidence,the mortality and the pathology of the three groups were compared. Results MBC,MVP and frequency of spontaneous contraction between Ip?OAB group and Iv?OAB group had no statistically significant difference(P>0.05). Compared with the control group,MBC significantly increased(P<0.05),MVP significantly decreased (P<0.05),and frequency of spontaneous contraction significantly increased(P<0.05)in Ip?OAB and Iv?OAB rats. The modeling success rate and mortality were 100%and 80%in Ip?OAB group,and were 50%and 0%in Iv?OAB group,and pathological changes were found in the two groups. Conclusion The construction of experimental animal model of OAB in rat induced by intraperitoneal injection and intravesical instillation cyclo?phosphamide are both reliable methods. Ip?OAB rats exhibit high incidence and mortality rate,while Iv?OAB rats show low incidence and mortality rate.
