To explore the feasibility of sevoflurane used in obstetric anesthesia and examine its effects on neonatal Apgar scores.A total of 60 cases of term primipara were assigned into epidural anesthesia assisted sevoflurane inhalation group (experimental group,n =30) and epidural anesthesia group (control group,n =30).In the experimental group after skin incision,the patients could not tolerate the anesthesia mask inhalation of sevoflurane.And the control group received no adjuvant drug.The maternal inhalation of sevoflurane to delivery of fetus after 1 min,5 min,10 min Apgar scores were analyzed.And the inhalation of sevoflurane to fetal childbirth duration were 4-10 min in two groups.The intergroup difference of newborn Apgar scores had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Epidural anesthesia assisted sevoflurane inhalation for cesarean section had no significant effect on neonatal Apgar scores.

BACKGROUND: Much research focuses on the link between β-amyloid peptide and neuron death, but there is little work about white matter alterations in the Alzheimer's disease.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anterior commissure pathological alteration in the APP/PS1 transgenic mice which model brain amyloidosis of Alzheimer's disease.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A grouping observational study based on the histology was performed in the Department of Neurology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology between September 2007 and September 2008.MATERIALS: Female transgenic APP/PS1 mice [Thy1 APP751 SL (Swedish mutation KM670/671NL, London mutation V7171 introduced in human sequence APP751) × human mutation gene PS1 M146L], control animals were amyloid-deposit free female PS1 mice. A total of 28 mice were divided into young group (2 months, 8 APP/PS1, 7 PS1) and old group (24 months, 6 APP/PS1, 7 PS1).METHODS: The slides of brain tissue were stained with Congo red and antibody against amyloid beta (4G8) to detect brain amyloidosis in Alzheimer's disease transgenic model. Myelin was stained with gold chloride and axon was stained with anti-neurofilament M antibody. The anterior commissure axonal density and myelination were quantitatively analyzed with the relative optical density value of staining with densitometry.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①The staining of intracellular and extracellular amyloid beta; ②the average area of anterior commissure in the coronal brain tissue sections; ④the relative optical density value of myelin and axon staining in the anterior commissure.RESULTS: A lot of Congo red positive amyloid beta plaques were observed in the cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, and anterior commissure of aged APP/PS1 mice, while intracellular amyloid beta was only present in the cortex of young APP/PS1 mice. A prominent increase in the surface area of the anterior commissure was observed in aged PS1 mice compared with young PS1 mice and aged APP/PS1 mice. The neurofilament staining remarkably decreased, both in aged APP/PS1 and aged PS1 mice; an increase trend of myelination in the anterior commissure was observed both the forementioned groups. Different phenotype analysis demonstrated that axonal density and myelination was comparative in the young APP/PS1 and young PS1 mice; axonal density of aged APP/PS1 mice decreased remarkably compared with aged PS1 control mice, while myelination of aged APP/PS1 mice had no significant difference with aged PS1 mice.CONCLUSION: There exists an axon loss in the anterior commissure in the aged APP/PS1 mice with a complete myelin sheath. The amyloid beta shows a direct toxicity on the axon.

[Objective]To investigate the effect of rabbit BMSCs with fibrin sealant on accelerating early tendon healing.[Methods]The BMSCs were isolated and amplified.The rabbits were divided into experimental(E) and control(C) groups.The injury model was a sharp complete transection through the midsubstance of the achilles tendon.The experimental group was implanted with composite of BMSCs and fibrin sealant,The control group was operated with only fibrin sealant.Specimens were harvested at 1,3,6,and 12 weeks for analysis,which included evaluation of gross morphology,cell tracing,histological assessment,immunohistochemistry studies,morphometric analysis,and mechanical testing.[Results]The gross morphology of the tendons showed the experimental group had lesser adhesion and better reactiveness than that in the control group.The fibrin had degraded at 3 weeks.Cell tracing showed that the labeled bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells remained viable and presented in the intratendinous region for at least 6 weeks,becoming more diffuse at later timepoints.At 3 weeks,collagen fibers appeared more organized and there were better morphometric nuclear parameters in the treatment group.At 6 and 12 weeks,there were no differences between the groups with regard to morphometric nuclear parameters.Biomechanical testing showed improved modulus in the treatment group as compared with the control group at 3 weeks,but not at subsequent timepoint.[Conclusion]Intratendinous cell therapy with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells following primary tendon repair can improve histological and biomechanical parameters in the early stage of tendon-healing.

Objective To establish a safe and effective method for obtaining fetus of rhesus monkey.Methods The pregnant process of rhesus monkey was monitored by B ultrasonography,and the pregnant rhesus monkeys in different stages of pregnant were randomly chosen.Mifepristone was subcutaneously injected to pregnant rhesus while misoprostol was put to their posterior fornix.The efficacy of this method was evaluated by the results of bishop score,the rate of pregnancy termination and the quality of total RNA extracted from brain samples of rhesus fetus.ResultsThe scores of bishop score and rates of fetus delivery of experiment group were both higher than that of control group(P
