An experimental approach on self-excited oscillation in a thin-walled collapsi- ble tube is developed by using a high transmittance and low Young＇s modulus silicone rubber tube. The elastic tube is manufactured by the method of centrifugal casting in our laboratory. An optical method for recording the evolution of the cross-sectional areas at a certain position along the longitudinal direction of the tube is developed based on the technology of refractive index matching. With the transparent tube, the tube law is measured under the static no-flow condition. The cross section at the middle position of the tube transfers from a quasi-circular configuration to an ellipse, and then to a dumbell-shape as the chamber pressure is increased. During the self-excited oscillation, two periodic self-excited oscillating states and one transitional oscillating state are identified. They all belong to the LU mode. These different oscillating states are related to the initial cross-sectional shape of the tube caused by the difference of the downstream transmural pressure.展开更多

Cultured C57/SJL mouse mesangial cells were used in the study. The expression of GLUT1 mRNA was detected by RT- PCR. The expression of GLUT1 protein was detected by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. The uptake of glucose and its kinetics were determined by 2- deoxy- [3H]- D- glucose uptake. Results. Both GLUT1 mRNA and protein were found in mouse glomerular mesangial cells. 2- deoxy- D- glucose uptake and kinetics assay showed that this glucose transporter had high affinity for glucose and the glucose uptake specificity was further confirmed by phloretin. Conclusion. Functional GLUT1 did present in mouse mesangial cells cultured in vitro and it might be the predominant transporter mediated the uptake of glucose into mesangial cells.展开更多

Methods: The digoxigenin (Dig) labeled somatostatin (SS) RNA probes were synthesized with in vitro transcription system and the in situ hybridization was conducted on the cryostat sections of rat stomach , duodenum and pancreas. Results: Positive reaction sites were purple-blue in color and located in the cytoplasm with a light background and a strong contrast. Both the morphosis and distribution of the SS mRNA posrtive cells corresponded well with those of the previously reported SS immunoreactive cells. Conclusion: The Dig -labeled cRNA probe in situ hybridization method is simple, sensitive and reliable for the study of gut regulatory peptide gene expression.展开更多
