BACKGROUND:Apoptosis,which result in various reasons,plays an important role in intervertebral disc degeneration. One of important reasons for apoptosis is oxidative stress. OBJECTIVE:To investigate effects and mechanism of hydrogen-peroxide(H2O2) on nucleus pulposus cell injury induced by oxidative stress at intracellular signal transduction level in rats. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A single sample observation was performed at the institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedics of Shandong Province from March to October in 2008. MATERIALS:The specific p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38 MAPK) inhibitor SB203580,the specific JNK inhibitor SP600125 were purchased from Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology;Two 24-hour-old SD rats of SPF degree were purchased from Qingdao Institute for Drug Control. METHODS:The primary cultured nucleus pulposus cells were divided into four groups:the H2O2 group,stimulated by H2O2 with concentrations of 0,50,100,200,400,and 800 ?mol/L;Control group;SB203580+H2O2 group:cells were preincubated with SB203580,and then were treated by stimulated by H2O2;SP600125+H2O2 group,cells were preincubated with SP600125,followed by stimulated by H2O2. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The expression and cellular localization of P-p38MAPK and P-JNK was detected by immunohistochemistry,and the expression of total and phosphorylated SAPK/JNK,p38MAPK were measured by Western blotting. RESULTS:H2O2 could activate the activity of P38 and JNK. The expression of P38MAPK was significantly inhibited with the pretreatment of SB203580;however,the SP600125 could inhibit the expression of JNK. Immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that P-p38MAPK and P-JNK were expressed and distributed mainly in cytoplasmic and nuclear exception of the control group. CONCLUSIONS:Apoptosis of rat nucleus pulposus cells are induced by oxidative stress via p38MAPK and JNK signal pathway.

Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of small intestine leiomyosarcoma. Methods:Ten patients with small intestine leiomyosarcoma in Changhai Hospital from 1993 to 2001 were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Radical resection was performed in 6 cases with the shortest survival time being over 1 year and the longest being 8.5 years (still in good health). One case received extirpation operation with the survival time being over 4 years.Partial resection was performed in 3 cases,and the 3 patients died 1,2,3 years after operation respectively.Conclusion:The small intestine leiomyosarcoma is rare and its diagnosis is difficult due to the lack of clinical feature. Final diagnosis should be based on pathology.The disease is not very sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy,which makes surgical treatment the choice.

Background and purpose:Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in the children and young adults. Until now, there is no prognostic indicator with high speciifcity and high sensitivity. This study investigated the relationship between miR-92a level in palsma and clinical pathological characteristics, as well as the prognosis in osteosarcoma.Methods:The plasma from 30 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination and from 45 cases of osteosarcoma before and after operation were collected. The miR-92a level was detected by real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) method. According to the relative expression≥5 of miR-92a, the osteosarcoma patients were divided into 2 groups: miR-92a high expression group and low expression group.Results:The miR-92a level in palsma from osteosarcoma is signiifcantly higer than that from healthy volunteers. Before surgery, the miR-92a level was markedly higher than after surgery. There was no correlation between the miR-92a level and the gender, age, tumor location, tumor size and histological type. However, signiifcant correlation was found with Enneking grade, tumor cell necrosis rate and lung metastasis. Compared with the low-expression group, high miR-92a expression was associated with a signiifcantly shorter overall survival using Kaplan-Meier analysis (P=0.035). Conclusion:The results suggest a signiifcant relationship between miR-92a and survival ratio. miR-92a expression level may be a useful prognostic indicator in osteosarcoma.

Chronic infection of hepatitis B virus(HBV)presents one of the serious public health challenges worldwide.Current treatment of chronic hepatitis B(CHB)is limited,and is composed of interferon and nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NRTI).Interferon is poorly tolerated and is only responsive in a small fraction of CHB patients and NRTIs often face the problem of emergence of drug resistance during long-term treatment.The current treatment of CHB earl be improved in several ways including genotyping mutations associated with drug resistance before treatment to guide the choice of NRTIs and suitable combinations among NRTIs and interferon.It is important to continue research in the identification of novel therapeutic targets in the life cycle of HBV or in the host immune system to stimulate the development of new antiviral agents and immunotherapies.Several antivirai agents targeting HBV entry,cecDNA,capsid formation,viral morphogenesis and virion secretion,as well as two therapeutic vaccines are currently being evaluated in preclinical studies or in clinical trials to assess their anti-HBV efficacy.

BACKGROUND:In rabbit femur fracture model experiment, there are a few studies on whether quadriceps tendon wil affect the stability of the fixed device. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects of quadriceps tendon to the stability of external fixator in rabbit models of femur fracture. METHODS:The 48 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. External fixator was used to make fracture model. In the experiment group, quadriceps tendon was cut. In the control group, quadriceps tendon was retained. 2 weeks later, X-ray examination was utilized to observe the number of failed external fixator in both groups from modeling to success. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) X-ray examination:2 weeks after model establishment, external fixation frame screw was free from femur in one rabbit of the experiment group, and seven rabbits in the control group. Of them, one screw was broken. Threaded portion retained in the femur. (2) External fixation failure rate:failed external fixator was found in one rabbit in the experiment group, resulting in a failure rate of 4%, and 12 rabbits in the control group, resulting in a failure rate of 50%(P<0.05). These findings suggested that cutting off the rabbit quadriceps tendon can effectively ensure the stability of the external fixator, and indirectly improve success rate of the experiment.
