ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the impact of transplantation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells(hAMSCs)on the histopathological change in paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats. Methods Forty-six female SD rats were randomly divided into the sham surgery group and the hAMSCs transplant group. Pulmonary fibrosis model was induced by 2％ of paraquat intragastric administration(100 mg/kg/rat). hAMSCs were injected through caudal vein(2 × 106 cells/mL/rat). The histopathological changes were observed through microscopy after HE and the immunohistochemical staining. Results General conditions in rats received hAMSCs transplantation were better than those of the model rats. More large area and white fibrosis nidus were observed in bilateral lung of model rats,with less dispersal spot or nidus. The construction of lung tissue was disordered in the model rats. The thickness of alveolar wall was found increased. There were large area interstitial hyperplasia and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrations. The construction of lung tissue was apparently improved. A majority of alveolar wall was monolayer cell. There were only less and small area with interstitial hyperplasia. Inflammatory cell infiltration was significantly decreased. The anti-human nucleus specific antibody positive hAMSCs were observed planted and survived in lung interstitial tissue. And few hAMSCs were observed planted in alveolar wall. Conclusion The transplanted hAMSCs can be planted and survived in lung tissue ,and may play a therapeutic role in araquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationships among free triiodothyronine( FT3 ), free thyroxine (FT4 ), and thyroid-stimulating hormone( TSH) in both plasma and breast milk of patients with thyroid diseases. Methods A total of 102 female subjects with hyperthyroidism(GD), normal thyroid function(NC), and Hashimoto′s hypothyroidism(HT or hypothyroidism)were enrolled. Their plasma and breast milk were collected for measurement of FT3 and FT4 , and TSH. Meanwhile, 11 infants of patients with hyperthyroidism and another 11 infants of patients with hypothyroidism were selected, blood FT3 , FT4 , and TSH content were determined during lactating period and 2 months after lactation. Results (1) FT3 and FT4 contents in breast milk among 3 groups were different[(1. 48 ± 0. 81), (7. 79 ± 3. 56), and (0. 77 ± 0. 42)pg/ ml; (2. 94 ± 1. 43), (14. 78 ± 7. 40), and (1. 51 ± 0. 40)pg/ ml, P0. 05). (2) FT3 ratio of breast milk to plasma of the hyperthyroidism group was different to other 2 groups(0. 42 ± 0. 04 vs 0. 35 ± 0. 03, 0. 36 ± 0. 03, P0. 05). (3)Blood FT3 , FT4 , and TSH contents from infants of patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism were different, both during lactating period and 2 months after lactation[(5. 06 ± 1. 76)vs (6. 51 ± 2. 23)pg/ ml, (17. 39 ± 2. 78)vs (19. 87 ± 3. 26)pg/ ml, (1. 34 ± 1. 33)vs (0. 74 ± 0. 78)mIU/ L; (1. 43 ± 0. 74)vs (1. 83 ± 0. 91)pg/ ml, (4. 28 ± 1. 55)vs (5. 00 ± 1. 75)pg/ ml, (6. 48 ± 2. 70) vs (5. 49 ± 2. 39) mIU/ L; all P<0. 05]. (4) FT3 and FT4 contents were positively correlated in plasma and breast milk(all P<0. 05), while TSH contents were positively correlated only in hypothyroidism group(P<0. 05). Conclusion FT3 , FT4 , and TSH in blood and breast milk are correlated.
ABSTRACT
Pharmacology is the bridge of preclinical and clinical medicine,as well as medical science and pharmaceutical sciences.Guiding students to grasp some memory method will make for inspiring student's thinking and increasing their interest in pharmacology teaching.And it will also help to improve the effect of pharmacology teaching.
