ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of XiaochengqiMixture (XM) on promoting healing of colonic stoma. MethodsForty Wistar rats were divided into two groups randomly after colonectomy: experimental group (n=20) and control group (n=20). In early postoperatively stage rats were given gastric administration of XM in the experimental group and pure water in the control group. On day 3, 7, and 14 after establishment of animal models, laparotomy was performed in two groups of rats, respectively. Anastomotic stoma and surrounding tissues were harvested to detect the context of hydroxyproline and collagen fiber proportion by Masson dying. ResultsOn day 3 after establishment of animal models, hyperplastic collagen with small fiber was observed while no fasciculus was found. Hydroxyproline context and collagen fiber proportion of rats were higher in experimental group than those in control group (Plt;0.05). On day 7 after operation, many fasciculuses were found in two groups of rats, hydroxyproline context and collagen fiber proportion of rats were higher in experimental group than those in control group (Plt;0.01). On day 14 after operation, fasciculuses became bigger and more regular in arrangement, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionXM is capable of promoting healing of colonic stoma and might prevent the occurrence of anastomotic fistula.
Cytogenetic study of 18 colorectal carcinomas confirmed the extensive heterogeneity and the complexity of the karyotypic picture in this tumor.Karyotypic analysis showed that chromosomes 7 and 3 were of the highest chromosomal gaining frequencies(72%,66%) and chromosomal losses were shown in chromosome 17(50%),chromosome5(44%) and chromosome 18(33%).The structual rearrangements frequently involved were 17p(78%),5q(61%),6q,7q,8p,12q,2p,etc.A great number of marker chromosomes and polyploid chromosomes had bad prognosis relatively.According to these results,we conclude that chromosomes 17,5,and 18 may play an important role in the evolution of colorectal cancer.
Objective To study the expression and significance of CCR chemokine receptor-7 (CCR7) protein and vascular endothelial growth factor-D (VEGF-D) protein in the progression of breast cancer, including normal breast tissue, slight and moderate atypical hyperplasia, severe atypical hyperplasia and intraductal carcinoma in situ, as well as invasive ductal carcinoma. Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of CCR7 and VEGF-D protein in the nomal breast tissue (n=20), slight and moderate ductal atypical hyperplasia tissue (n=20), severe atypical hyperplasia and intraductal carcinoma in situ tissue, as well as invasive ductal breast carcinoma tissue (n=73). In addition, the D2-40 staining was also used to determine lymphatic microvessel density (LMVD). Meanwhile, the relationship between the expression of the two kinds of protein and clinicopathological factors/LMVD was analyzed by statistical analysis in breast cancer, and the correlation between expression of CCR7 protein and expression of VEGF-D protein was analyzed too. Results ①The positive rates of CCR7 protein (χ 2 =23.905，P<0.050) and VEGF-D protein (χ 2 =22.349，P<0.050) were gradually increased in the normal breast tissue group 〔CCR7 protein: 0 (0/20), VEGF-D protein: 5.0% (1/20)〕, slight and moderate atypical hyperplasia group 〔CCR7 protein: 5.0% (1/20), VEGF-D protein: 20.0% (4/20)〕, severe atypical hyperplasia and intraductal carcinoma in situ group 〔CCR7 protein: 30.0% (6/20), VEGF-D protein: 40.0% (8/20)〕, and invasive ductal carcinoma group 〔CCR7 protein: 47.9% (35/73), VEGF-D protein: 57.5% (42/73)〕. ②The LMVD value gradually increased in normal breast tissue group (2.00±1.02), slight and moderate atypical hyperplasia group (6.70± 3.48), severe atypical hyperplasia and intraductal carcinoma in situ group (9.01±2.13), as well as invasive ductal carcinoma group (16.32±4.07), there was significant difference between any 2 groups (P<0.050). ③The expressions of CCR7 protein and VEGF-D protein were correlated with clinical staging, histological grading, lymph node metastasis, and expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) protein in patients with breast cancer (P<0.050), the higher positive rates of CCR7 and VEGF-D protein occurred in patients with higher histological grading, later clinical staging of Ⅲ+Ⅳ (compared with staging of Ⅰ+Ⅱ), lymph node metastasis (compared with no lymph node metastasis), and positive expression of HER-2 protein (compared with negative expression of HER-2 protein). The result indicated that LMVD value was related with expression of VEGF-D protein (r=0.623, P<0.010) in patients with breast cancer, but there was no correlation with expression of CCR7 protein (r=-0.303, P>0.050). Furthermore, there was weak positive correlation between expression of CCR7 protein and expression of VEGF-D protein in breast cancer (r=0.112, P<0.050). Conclusion The results strongly suggest that the expression levels of the VEGF-D protein and CCR7 protein indicate the potential of translation some extent, and they play an important role in the progression of breast cancer.
Objective To detect and analyse the mutations in rhodopsin gene of members in a family affected by autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (ADRP). Methods Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we amplified exon 1-5 of rhodopsin gene in patients with ADRP,and analyzed it with direct sequence measuement. Results The Gly-182-Asp mutation in the rhodopsin gene was detected in most of affected members of this ADRP family, but no mutation was detected in two affected members and the control ones. Conclusion We cannot regard the Gly-182-Asp mutation in the rhodopsin gene as the pathagenic factor of the ADRP family. It is likely there is a new gene next to the rhodopsin gene.

Objective Using chemically extracted acellular methods to treat extracranial section of the canine whole facial nerve, to evaluated its effects on nerve structure and the removal extent of Schwann cells and myel in. Methods Twenty whole facial nerves were exposed from 10 canines [weighing (18 ± 3) kg]. The extracranial trunk of canine facial nerve and its branches (temporal branch, zygomatic branch, buccal branch, marginal mandibular branch, and cervical branch) were dissected under l ight microscope. Twenty facial nerves were divided into the experimental group (n=12) and control group (n=8) randomly. In experimental group, the nerve was extracted with the 3%TritonX-100 and 4% sodium deoxycholate. In control group, the nerve was not extracted. HE staining and immunofluorescence histological stainings for Hoechst33258, P75, Zero, and Laminin were performed. Results After histological staining, it was found that myel in and Schwann cells were removed from the facial nerve while the basal lamina tube remained intact. The whole canine facial nerves (one nerve trunk and multiple nerve branches) had the similar result. Conclusion The canine whole facial nerve has natural structure (one nerve trunk and multiple nerve branches) by extracted with chemically extracted acellular methods, so it is an available graft for repairing the defect of the whole facial nerve.
ObjectiveTo explore a simple and rapid pathological slices method to observe the porous structure and the composition distribution of composite materials. MethodsTaking polyurethane/small intestinal submucosa (PU/SIS) composite as an example, PU/SIS was OCT-embedded and sliced into sections by frozen section technology, after which general observation of the section integrity was carried out. After dyed with water-soluble eosin in alcoholic solution, the staining effect and the porous structure of the composite were observed under light field microscope. Sections were sealed with five different sealing methods. Group A: sealing piece using glycerogelatin method; group B: anhydrous alcohol dehydration→transparency using TO transparent reagent→sealing piece using neutral quick drying glue; group C: color separation using deionized water→air-drying→sealing piece using neutral quick drying glue; group D: air-drying→transparency using TO transparent reagent→sealing piece using neutral quick drying glue; group E: air-drying→sealing piece using neutral quick drying glue. Then, the morphology and the components distribution of the composite were observed under light field microscope, and the simple and feasible method was selected as optimum method. ResultsFrom general observation, the frozen section of the PU/SIS composite, which was 6 μm in thickness, was complete and continuous. Although the outline of the material and the porous structure in the sections could be observed clearly under light field microscope, the two components still could not be identified by using eosin staining method. After sealing piece, the material components in groups A, B, and C still could not be identified or be dissolved and deformed; the morphology of the material in groups D and E were preserved and the two components in the composite were clearly visible. ConclusionThe morphology and the components distribution of PU/SIS frozen sections can be characterized after soluble eosin staining and neutral quick drying glue sealing.
目的:比較三種檢測幽門螺旋桿菌（Hp）的染色方法。方法:收集我科胃鏡活檢診斷為“慢性胃炎”和“胃潰瘍”的蠟塊42例,重新切片,分別做 HE常規染色,改良Giemsa 染色,免疫組化染色。在光鏡下觀察Hp的顯示情況,其陽性率進行χ2檢驗。結果:三種染色方法的陽性率分別為HE染色:857%(36/42),改良Giemsa 染色:905%(38/42), 免疫組化: 929%(39/42)。χ2檢驗,免疫組化分別與其他兩種染色方法比較,陽性率差異無顯著性(Pgt;005)。但免疫組化Hp菌體與周圍組織對比度最強,最易識別。結論:三種染色方法的陽性率無顯著性差異，但采用免疫組化方法Hp菌體最易識別
