Purpose To investigate the association of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) appearances and ischemia time as well as ischemia degree through both unenhanced and contrast-enhanced MSCT scans, then to investigate the value of MSCT in diagnosing acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) by comparing the MSCT findings with pathologic examinations after establishing canine's AMI model. Materials and Methods 18 healthy hybrid canines were successfully punctured into the right femoral artery through seldinger's technique and injected absolute ethanol into the distal branches of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for embolization via a 5F Cobra catheter. All experimental canines were underwent both unenhanced MSCT and enhanced CT scans no matter before nor after embolization. Every 3 canines were put to death randly each hour and ischemia bowel biopsies were examined. Results The AMI's models were suceessfully established in all 18 canines. The MSCT appearances were not same in different periods. Mesenteric stranding, bowel-wall thickening and luminal dilatation occurred in early periods and ascites, intramural gas and portal venous gas occurred lately. The contrast-enhanced degrees of abnormal bowel walls after embolization were declined than that of preoperation. The canines of three-hour to six-hour ischemia groups developed microscopic and gross changes of bowel ischemia. Conclusion MSCT can make the diagnosis of AMI accurately and the appearances of CT were gradually more variety along with the ischemia time longer. The contrast-enhanced degrees of abnormal bowel walls were negative correlation with ischemia time as well as ischemia degree.

Objective To establish a regenerative system in vitro and determine the endogenous hormones of Zanthoxylum dissitum. Methods Lamina of Z. dissitum was used as the explant. Callus adventitious bud differentiation was carried out by culturing on MS with different hormones. At the same time,in the course of callus induction,four endogenous hormone of GA3,IAA,ABA,and ZR were determined by ELISA. Results The optimum medium for adventitious bud regeneration of Z. dissitum was MS+6-BA 0.5 mg/L+NAA 0.1 mg/L,and the highest induction rate could reach to 61%. During the process of the differentiation of explants callus,the contents of ZR and IAA were correspondingly higher than other endogenous hormones,the content of ABA was always kept in low level during this process,the content of GA3 was kept in the trend of upgrading during the earlier differentiation period. Conclusion It could be considered that ZR and IAA should be the critical factors in the bud induction. According to the results,a proper adding of GA3in the culture medium could improve the differentiation rate of the adventitious bud. On the other side,ABA might be the negative regulation factor.

This paper summarizes the intervention of chronic kidney disease at home and abroad from the intervention places, objects, contents, methods, executants and evaluation. Some intervention problems have been found in this paper: intervention places do not extend to the basic medical institutions; we draw less attention to those patients with special health needs; the theoretical basis of intervention strategies is inadequate; the content and evaluation of intervention are not comprehensive. The intervention research of chronic kidney disease in China is still a long way to go.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of tunicamycin (a glycosylation inhibitor) combined with cisplatin on the proliferation and apoptosis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and explore the molecular mechanism.

METHODSNasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells cultured in vitro were treated with different concentrations of tunicamycin with or without cisplatin. The inhibition of cell proliferation was examined using MTT assay and colony formation assay, and the cell apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry with propidium iodide staining. The expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, and GRP78 in cells treated with 3 µmol/L tunicamycin with or without 6.00 µmol/L cisplatin were measured with Western blotting.

RESULTSTreatment with tunicamycin or cisplatin obviously inhibited the proliferation of CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells. Treatment with 3 µmol/L tunicamycin for 24, 36 and 48 h resulted in a viability of 72.13%, 51.97%, and 37.56% in CNE-1 cells and 85.61%, 56.95%, and 43.66% in CNE-2 cells, respectively, and the combined treatment with 6 µmol/L cisplatin lowered the cell viability to 67.97%, 47.76%, and 34.68% in CNE-1 cells and 56.89%, 37.05%, and 29.30% in CNE-2 cells, respectively. Tunicamycin at 0.3 µmol/L combined with 0.6 µmol/L cisplatin showed an obviously enhanced inhibitory effect on colony formation of CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells. Tunicamycin treatment (3 µmol/L) of CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells for 48 h induced an apoptosis rate of only 8.89% and 8.67%, but when combined with 6 µmol/L cisplatin, the cell apoptosis rate increased to 37.02% and 32.25%, significantly higher than that in cells with cisplatin treatment alone (7.25% and 6.36%, respectively). Compared with tunicamycin and cisplatin alone, the combined treatment significantly increased Bax expression and decreased Bcl-2 expression in the cells; tunicamycin up-regulated the expression of GRP-78 and enhanced the activity of caspase-3.

CONCLUSIONTunicamycin can inhibit the proliferation of CNE-1 and CNE-2 cells and enhance cisplatin-induced cell death, the mechanism of which may involve excessive endoplasmic reticulum stress response and increased activity of caspase-3.
