ABSTRACT
Abstract@#Gut flora undergoes a dynamic colonization and development process at different stages of human life. Sex specific gut flora development begins during puberty, which is influenced by sex hormone levels. The potential relationship between sex hormone levels, which suggests that there may be a two way interaction between intestinal flora and sex hormones. In addition, evidence is emerging for bidirectional effects of the microbiome in human health. Therefore, the review presents the dimorphism of intestinal flora, the characteristics of intestinal flora during puberty and the latest research progress, explores the close relationship between intestinal flora and precocious puberty and reproductive system diseases, and further explains the influence mechanism and treatment measures of considering gender factors in intestinal microflora, precocious puberty and reproductive system related diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the method of three-dimensional reconstruction of fetal bilateral renal artery and its application value of three-dimensional visualization model.Methods One case of 31 weeks fresh fetal bilateral kidney specimens was infused with epoxy resin-titanium dioxide and then casted.Obtained the original two-dimensional CT image data sets through CT thin layer scanning of the casting mold.Reconstructed the three-dimensional model of fetal bilateral renal artery with the Mimics 17.0 software, and the model was compared with the casting mold specimen.Results The casting mold specimen of fetal bilateral renal artery clearly showed the shallow blood vessels, but it was difficult to observe the deep renal arteries.On the contrary,the three-dimensional model of fetal bilateral renal artery could help to observe and measure the deep renal arteries accurately,but it failed to show the shallow blood vessels clearly.Conclusion Based on the advantage of the three-dimensional model fetal bilateral renal artery and casting mold specimens,the direction and distribution of fetal bilateral renal arteries could be displayed with stereoscopic multi-level through the combination of virtual and reality,which may provide a reliable morphological data for anatomy teaching and fetal basic medical research information.
ABSTRACT
2,3,5,4'-tetra-hydroxystilbene-2-O-glucoside (THSG), the water-soluble active components extracted from dried tuber root of Polygonum multiflorum (Polygonaceae), can promote the release of nitric oxide (NO) from vascular endothelial cells and has strong antioxidation. The postconditioning's protection of THSG on cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury and the mechanism were investigated. After reperfusion for 3 h following occlusion of rat left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) for 30 min, SαT recovery speed, arrhythmia and cardiac infarct size were observed.The ischemic size and infarct size was identified by using Evans blue and TTC staining methods respectively. The results showed that the infarct size in THSG 7. 5 mg/kg postconditioning group was significantly decreased from 43.6 %±9.1 % in mode group to 16.5 %±6.5 % (P＜0.01).SαT recovery was quicker and the incidence of arrhythmia (55.6 % vs 100 %, P＜0.05) was significantly lower than in control group. The infarct size in THSG+glybenclamide group was greater than in THSG group, but equivalent to that in control group (46.8 %±9.8 % vs 43.6 %±9. 1 %, P ＞0. 05), SαT recovery speed slower and the incidence of arrhythmia also lower (33. 3 % vs 100 %, P＜0. 01), suggesting that glybenclamide could abolish the effects of THSG postconditioning reducing the cardiac infart size. It was concluded that THSG administration before reperfusion could effectively alleviate the cardiac reperfusion injury and possessed the postconditioning effects of reducing cardiac infarct size, which might be related with the KATP channel opening.
