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.

Background Maternal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) during pregnancy is closely related to adverse growth and development conditions such as preterm birth and low birth weight, but the relevant mechanisms are still unclear. UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) can regulate the excretion of BPA conjugating with glucuronic acid through urine, which is one of the important pathways for BPA elimination. Objective To explore the changes in the expression of UGTs in placenta and fetal liver of rats before birth induced by maternal exposure to BPA during pregnancy. Methods Thirty SPF-grade healthy SD pregnant rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group, 0.05, 0.5, 5, and 50 mg·kg−1 BPA groups. The pregnant rats were exposed to BPA dissolved in corn oil via oral gavage daily from gestational day (GD) 5 to GD 19. After anesthesia, the pregnant rats were sacrificed on GD 20 and the placentas were collected. Body length, tail length, and weight of the fetal rats were measured. Fetal liver tissues were then separated, and organ weights were measured. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot (WB) were used to determine the mRNA and protein levels of UGT1A1, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, and UGT2B1 in the placenta and fetal liver tissues in each group. Results There were no differences in body length and tail length of the pups after maternal exposure to BPA during pregnancy. The fetal body weight and placenta weight in the 5 and 50 mg·kg−1 BPA groups and the liver weight in the 5 mg·kg−1 BPA group reduced compared with the control group (P<0.05). The results of UGTs expressions in placenta showed that compared with the control group, the UGT1A1 mRNA levels in placenta of the BPA groups (exposure dose≥0.5 mg·kg−1) and the UGT1A1 protein level in placenta of the 50 mg·kg−1 BPA group increased (P<0.05); the UGT1A6 mRNA and protein levels in placenta of each BPA group did not change (P>0.05); the UGT1A9 mRNA level in placenta of the 50 mg·kg−1 BPA group and the UGT1A9 protein levels in placenta of the BPA groups (exposure dose≥0.5 mg·kg−1) reduced (P<0.05); while the levels of UGT2B1 mRNA in placenta of the BPA groups (exposure dose≥0.5 mg·kg−1) reduced (P<0.05). The results of UGTs expressions in fetal liver showed that compared with the control group, the UGT1A1, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, and UGT2B1 mRNA levels of each BPA group increased (P<0.05); no obvious alternation was observed in UGT1A6 protein levels in each BPA group (P>0.05); the relative protein levels of UGT1A9 in fetal liver in the 50 mg·kg−1 BPA group increased (P<0.05); conversely, the relative protein levels of UGT2B1 in fetal liver in the BPA groups (exposure dose≥0.5 mg·kg−1) reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion Maternal exposure to BPA during pregnancy can elevate the UGT1A1 gene and protein expressions, inhibit the UGT1A9 gene and protein expressions and UGT2B1 gene expressions in placenta. Besides, maternal exposure to BPA during pregnancy can raise the gene expressions of UGT1A1, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, and UGT2B1 in fetal liver, as well as the protein expression of UGT1A9, but inhibit the protein expression of UGT2B1. These changes may contribute to fetal developmental abnormalities after maternal exposure to BPA during pregnancy.

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.
