BACKGROUND:None of the current treatment strategies has been focused on relieving or reversing the disk degeneration process after degenerative disc diseases. In recent years, more and more scientists try to treat degenerative disc diseases using stem cel therapy. OBJECTIVE:To explore the research status and prospects of stem cel therapy for degenerative disc diseases. METHODS: A computer-based online search of PubMed database between January 2004 and December 2014was performed to search related articles with the key words of “stem cel, intervertebral disk” in English. Literatures related to stem cel therapy for degenerative disc diseases were selected; in the same field, the articles published lately in authoritative journals were preferred. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 342 articles were primarily selected, and 43 articles were involved in result analysis according to inclusion criteria. Stem cel therapy is a newly treatment for degenerative disc diseases. Cels appropriate for stem cel therapy include embryonic stem cels, induced pluripotent stem cels, mesenchymal stem cels, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels and chondrocytes or nucleus pulposus cels. Although cel leakage, intervertebral disc infection and tumorigenesis are the main chalenges, stem cel therapy for degenerative disc diseases is promising in the future.

BACKGROUND:At present, the clinical treatment of lumbar disc degeneration mainly includes conservative treatment, traditional surgery and minimal y invasive surgery. The therapeutic purpose is to relieve symptoms, but the long-term effect is not very satisfactory. Therapeutic methods focusing on biological functional recovery have been concerned gradual y, but the clinical application is far in sight. OBJECTIVE:To review the advances in the treatment of lumbar disc degeneration regarding tissue-engineered repair and biomechanics. METHODS:PubMed database was searched by the first author for relevant articles published before December 2014 using the keywords of“intervertebral disc degeneration, clinical treatment, biological treatment, tissue engineering, biomechanics, repair, progress”in English. A total of 100 articles were searched initial y and final y, 40 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Although the therapeutic schemes are varied, the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration is a great chal enge for clinicians and basic researchers. Currently there is no perfect clinical treatment, and indications corresponding to various therapies should be paid attention as wel as long-term fol ow-up evaluation. For various reasons, the biological treatment for intervertebral disc degenerative disease is becoming more and more popular, providing a promising prospect for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration. So far, large amounts of data have been obtained from animal experiments, but there are stil many problems to be solved. Other chal enges also involve the al aspects of general tissue engineering methods, such as cel s, cytokines and scaffolds. In these studies, the nucleus pulposus tissue engineering based on the combination of heparin-functionalized chitosan hydrogel, cytokines and stem cel s exhibits a promising prospect.

Objective To explore the effect of Bushen decoction on Na+-K+ATPase 、Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase and succinate dehydrogenase(SDH) in rats with heart failure. Methods 60 heart failure rats were established by ligating left anterial descending coronary artery. Theywere randomly divided into model group, sham operation group, trimetazidine group, Bushen low-dose group, Bushen middle-dose groupand Bushen high-dose group with 10 rats in each group. They were gavaged 2 weeks after modeling for 8 weeks, hemodynamic changes includingleft ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVEDP), and the maximum rate left ventricular pressurerised or decreased (±LVdp/dtmax) were recorded as well as the level of Na+-K+ATP ase、Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase and SDH through the spectrophotometer.Results Compared with the sham operation group, the LVSP and + LVdp/dtmax of rats in model group decreased (P<0.05), LVEDPand -LVdp/dtmax increased (P<0.05). After Bushen intervention, contractility and diastolic function of myocardial of rats in middle and highdose group were better than model group (P<0.01), especially in high dose group.
Na+-K+ATP ase、Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase and SDH activity werehigher in Bushen groups than the model group, but lower than the sham operation group. With the increase of the doses, Na+-K+ATP ase、Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase and SDH activity gradually increased. Conclusion Bushen decoction can improve the cardiac function of rats with heartfailure that may be associated with Na+-K+ATPase, Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase and SDH activity.

Objective Implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD)can effectively treat lifethreatening ventricular arrhythmias.The most common side effect is inappropriate discharge.This study analyzes the incidence and causes of inappropriate discharges of ICD in our hospital.Methods Forty.threepatients implanted with ICD in our hospital from November 2001 to October 2007 were involved in our study.Patients were followed-up regularly.All episodes recorded and stored in the ICD were analyzed.Results Seven of the 43 patients underwent ninety-six inappropriate discharges.Inappropriate discharges in six patients were caused by supraventricular tachyarrhythmias(SVT).In one patient the discharge was caused by noise.Most inappropriate discharges occurred in the first year after implantation.The history of atrial fibrillation before implantation is an independent predictor of inappropriate discharges.Conclusions The incidence of inappropriate discharge is 16.3%in our study and the most common cause is SVT.Most inappropriate discharges occur in the first year after implantation.Patients with atrial fibrillation history have a higher risk of inappropriate discharges.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of gene therapy on the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell line CNE-2 by using the combination of TRAIL gene with hTERT promoter. METHODS Total RNA was ex-tracted from PBL (peripheral blood lymphocytes)whose proliferation had been stimulated. TRAIL gene with interleukin 2 signal peptide gene was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into the vector pGL3-181hTE down-stream to the RT promoter to form an eukaryotic vector. The vector was transfected into CNE-2 cells and HL-7702 cells through lipofection. Flow cytometry (FCM), agarose gel electrophoresis and cell morphology were used to examine the cell apoptosis. RESULTS In tranfected nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2, FCM analysis showed that apoptotic peak appeared before G1 phase. A ladder-like pattern of DNA fragmentation appeared upon agarose gel electrophoresis. Many cells exhibited apoptotic changes such as cell shrinkage , nulear condensation , and nuclear fragmenta-tion under transmission electron microscope (TEM). CONCLUSION The recombinant eukaryotic ex-pression vector for TRAIL gene driven by hTERT pro-moter was successfully constructed and shown to induced apoptosis in CNE-2 cells. The results suggest that TRAIL may be a promising target for gene therapy of NPC.

In order to explore the MRI volume of the amygdala and hippocampus in patients with major depression, quantitative MRI of the amygdala and hippocampus were studied in 22 patients with major depression and compared with 13 age-matched controls. The results showed that both groups exhibited similar significant hippocampal asymmetry (left smaller than right). The volume of the bilateral hippocampus was significantly smaller in the major depression group than that in control group. The patients had significant asymmetry of the amygdalar volumes (right smaller than left). No correlation was found between hippocampal volume abnormalities and ill duration. It was concluded that the hippocampus and amygdala within limbic-cortical networks may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of major depression.
