Objective By using immunohistochemical staining of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and fluorescence of ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine mediators, to observe the distribution of sympathetic nerve terminals in human cervical capsule tissues, and to compare the two methods for further improvement. Methods Surgically removed joint capsule tissues from C 3~7 vertebrae of 17 cases were treated by paraffin imbedding with NPY immunohistochemical staining and frozen-section with fluorescence staining of ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine mediators. Slides were preconditioned by 1% KMnO4 and sections 15~20 ?m in thickness were made. The staining was conducted at 100 ℃ for 5 min firstly, and then at 80 ℃ for 2 min. We utilized adrenal glands of rats as positive control. The samples were observed under fluorescence microscope at 380~420 nm excitation wavelengths from a high-voltage mercury light source. Results NPY immunostaining findings indicated bulky positive materials in some arteriolar walls and nerve tracts of the joint capsules; biomonoamine mediators gave off fluorescence in green-yellow color under the induction of ethylaldehyde acid, which presented mostly as reticular or radial finely-broken fibers in vascular walls, basal laminae of the synovial membrane and dense connective tissues. The positive rates of NPY immunohistochemical staining were 70.6% (12/17) at C 3~4 intervertebral segment, 42.9% (6/14) at C 4~5 , 57.1% (8/14) at C 5~6 , and 50.0% (5/10) at C 6~7 , respectively, the total positive rate being 56.4% (31/55). When using the ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine fluorescence, the positive rates were 70.6% (12/17) at C 3~4 intervertebral segment, 93.8% (15/16) at C 4~5 , 66.7% (10/15) at C 5~6 , and 80.0% (8/10) at C 6~7 , respectively, the total positive rate being 77.6% (45/58). The positive rate was remarkably higher in ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine fluorescence than in NPY immunohistochemical staining, with statistically significant difference (?2=5.774,P=0016), especially at C 4~5 intervertebral segment (P=0.004). Conclusions Both the two methods can demonstrate the distribution of sympathetic nerve terminals, suggesting the presence of the terminals in human cervical capsule tissues. Modified ethylaldehyde acid-induced biomonoamine fluorescence offers a greater specificity.

Objective To evaluate the safety and comfort of postoperative patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after interventional therapy in the early stage and late stage, so as to determine the time to get out of bed after operation. Methods We searched PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library (2016 second), Web of Science, CBM, Wanfang Data and CNKI database, collect test/ambulation time of hepatocellular carcinoma after interventional therapy were searched from inception to September 10, 2016. Meta analysis was performed by 2 reviewers independently by screening literature, extracting data and evaluating the risk of bias in the study. RevMan 5.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 9 studies were included in the study, and 1164 patients were included. The Meta analysis results showed that:compared with 24 hours in bed after operation, 12 hours early ambulation method to reduce postoperative pain, postoperative [odds radio (OR)=0.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.03-0.15, P <0.05] and dysuria (OR =0.18, 95% CI 0.10-0.33, P < 0.05), abdominal distension (OR =0.14, 95% CI 0.07-0.29, P<0.05), insomnia (OR=0.15, 95% CI 0.05-0.43, P<0.05). But in the local punctura, such as congestion (OR=0.99, 95%CI 0.45-2.18, P=0.98), hematoma (OR=0.90, 95% CI 0.38-2.13, P=0.80), the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions The available evidence indicates that the early postoperative 12 hours after interventional therapy can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications. To be included in the quantity and quality of the research, the conclusion still need to carry out more high-quality research to be verified.

Magnetic nano gene vector is one of the non-viral gene vectors, modified by functional group to bind cationic transfect reagents. Coupling magnetofection with the universal lipofection we developed a novel somatic cell transfection method as the so-called liposomal magnetofection (LMF). This approach is potential to provide somatic cell cloning with stable genetic cell lines to cultivate transgenic animals. In order to construct such liposomal magnetic gene vectors complexes system, we used nano magnetic gene vector to combine with liposomal cationic transfect reagents by molecular self-assembly. This vectors system successfully carried exogenous gene and then transfected animal somatic cells. Here, we conducted atomic force microscopy (AFM), zeta potential-diameter analysis and other characterization experiments to investegate the size distribution and morphology of magnetic nanoparticles, the way of the vectors to load and concentrate DNA molecules. Our data reveal that, the LMF of Pig Kidney cells exhibited higher transfection efficiency comparing with the transfection mediated by the commercial lipofectamine2000. Moreover, LMF method overcomes the constraint of transient expression mediated by lipofection. Meanwhile, MTT assay showed low cytotoxicity of LMF. Hence, LMF is a feasible, low cytotoxic and effective method of cell transfection.
