ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of melatonin (MT) on hepatic tissue of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Methods AIH model rats were divided randomly as model group, MT group and pig hepacyte growth factor (pHGF) group, to observe the pathological changes of hepatic tissue of the three groups. Results Hepatic tissue inflammation and accrementition graded of elastic fibers, reticular fibre, collagenous fibrils of MT group [(0.97±0.16),(1.09±0.17),(1.31±0.17)] were much lighter than model group [(1.55±0.18),(2.00±0.14),(3.00±0.14)](all P<0.01). The expression of VEGF was weaker in MT group than in pHGF group. There was no distinct difference between MT group and pHGF group. Conclusion MT can obviously improve the pathological changes of hepatic tissue of rats with AIH.
ABSTRACT
Objective To introduce a newly-developed special laryngoscopic lens.Methods The structures of the new-style laryngoscopic lens and the old one were compared so as to highlight the advantages of the new-style one.Results For the special patients(e.g.patients with min-chin,high-larynx,fatness,short-neck,fore-tooth standing out,and corpulent lingua),special laryngoscopic lens could stir up epiglottis much more,expose glottis,and achieve incubationeasily.Besides,it could also be applied to normal patients.Conclusion The special laryngoscopic lens is practical,easily-operated and reliable.
