Objective To observe the effects of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (LFPEMFs) on microcirculation angiogenesis in the hindlimbs of diabetic rats with acute ischemia. Methods Models of acute hindlimb ischemia were established in 60 male Sprague-Dawley diabetic rats. The diabetes model was established using 60 mg/kg intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (STZ). Fasting blood glucose levels were greater than 300 mg/dL. The rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The rats in the experimental group were exposed to low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields for 2 hours each day, while the control group was not given any treatment. Laser-Doppler perfusion was used to measure blood flow in the ischemic hindlimb on days 0,7, 14 and 28 after the operation. The immunofluorescence of rat endothelial cell antigen-1 ( RECA-1) was used to evaluate the changes in angiogenesis. The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) were determined by both Western blotting and ELISA, and VEGFR2 and FGFR1 levels in the ischemic skeletal muscle were determined by Western blotting on days 7, 14 and 28 after the operation. Results The average perfusion ratio was significantly greater in the experimental group at days 14 and 28 compared with the control group. RECA-1 density in the tissues had increased significantly in the experimental group at the 14th and 28th day. The same was observed for FGF-2 and its receptor, but there was no significant difference for VEGF or its receptor in either group. Conclusions LFPMEFs can promote angiogenesis in acute hindlimb ischemia of diabetic rats by up-regulating FGF-2. This suggests that LFPMEFs may be useful for preventing and treating lower limb ischemia in diabetic humans.

Objective To evaluate the characteristics and clinical suitability of the ArcCHECK diode array for volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) verification.Methods The intrinsic sensitivity,short and long term reproducibility,dose and dose rate dependence,dose per pulsed dependence,field sizes dependence and directional response of the diodes were measured.The results of the diodes were compared with the measurement results of an ionization chamber and calculated results of treatment planning system.Gamma index was used to analyze the dose difference between the calculation and measurement for random selected 211 verified VMAT plans.Results The ArcCHECK performed well for all tests except directional dependence,which varies from a minimum of-3.9％ (seen only when the beam was incident on the diode at 180°) to a maximum of 7.7％ (approximately at 255°).Average gamma analysis passing rates with 3 mm/3％ for 113 nasopharyngeal cancer,48 cervical cancer and 50 rectal cancer patients VMAT plans were 93.5％,95.7％ and 97.5％,respectively,statistical significance has been found between either two of the groups (t=-12.69-4.88,all P＜ 0.01).Conclusions With proposed calibration method,the ArcCHECK diode array is very suitable for VMAT pretreatment verification,the complexity of VMAT plan is the main factor affecting the passing rate.

Objective To investigate the role of GABAB1 receptors in spinal dorsal horn neurons in the development of diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP). Methods Sixty pathogen free male SD rats aged 4 weeks weighing 150-170 g were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 30 each): control group and DNP group. Diabetes mellitus was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 50 mg/kg. Blood glucose levels and paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimuli were measured at 3, 5 and 7 weeks (T1, T2, T3 ) after IP STZ/NS ( n = 10 each). The animals were sacrificed after PWL measurement. The lumbar segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of GABAB1 receptors by immuno-histochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Results The blood glucose levels were significantly higher while the PWT was significantly lower at T1,T2 and T3 in group DNP than in control group. The expression of GABAB1 receptor mRNA and protein in spinal dorsal horn was significantly lower at T2 and T3 in DNP group than in control group. Conclusion The expression of GABAb1 receptors is down-regulated in spinal dorsal horn neurons in rats with DNP.

Objective To determine whether the CD133+ cancer stem cells lie in circumferential resection margin of rectal cancer,and to explore the relationship between CD133+ cancer stem cells and prognosis of rectal cancer.Methods The circumferential resection margin of rectal cancer was cut,one half of the tissue was stained HE for microscope observation.Both groups were labeled CD133 by immunohistochemistry.The tissues with positive circumferential resection margin were classified as experimental group,otherwise the control group.Another half was made into single cell suspension and used to detect CD133+ cancer stem cells by flow cytometry.The relapse of patients in the experimental group was following-up.Results Two cases were positive by immunohistochemistry in the experimental group (28 cases),showed that CD133+ cancer stem cells were in circumferential resection margin,but there was not marked difference compared with the control group (72 cases were all negative) (P =0.076).CD133+ cancer stem cells can be detected by flow cytometry,and the expression was higher in experimental group than that in the control group (5.19 ％ and 0.56 ％,Z =-7.739,P ＜ 0.01).In experimental group,the expression of CD133+ cancer stem cells in circumferential resection margin of relapse patients was significantly higher than that in patients without relapse,the difference was statistically significant [(6.57±1.72) ％ and (4.77±1.33) ％,t =3.038,P ＜ 0.05].Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the proportion of CD133+ cancer stem cells in the experimental group was positively correlated with relapse (rs =0.473,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion There are CD133 + cancer stem cells within circumferential resection margin of rectal cancer,and the expression of CD133+ cancer stem cells in experimental group is correlated with the postoperative recurrence.
