Objective: To investigate the effects of nerve growth factor(NGF) on the differentiation of goat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into osteoblasts. Methods: The goat BMSCs were cultured in vitro and the marker proteins on the BMSCs surface were identified by flow cytometry. The third passage of BMSCs were randomly divided into blank control group, osteoblasts control group, NGF group and experimental group. The activities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (0C) were examined and the of von Kossa staining method was used to observe the osteogenic differentiation. Results: CD90 and CD105 were strong positive while the CD34 and CD45 were negatively expressed in BMSCs. The activities of ALP and OC was significantly higher in the experimental group than that in the other three groups(P<0.05). The staining of von Kossa was positive and the black calcium nodules were appeared in the the osteoblasts control group. The number and the area of the calcium nodules were greater in the experimental group. But there were no significant differences of each index between the NGF group and the blank control group. Conclusion: NGF can′t induce goats BMSCs to osteoblasts, but can clearly promote the differentiation of goats BMSCs.

Objective To investigate the value of MR diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)in assessment of the microstructural changes of the trigeminal nerve,and analyze it's correlation with the degree of vascular compression. Methods Thirty-four patients with trigeminal neuralgia from November 2015 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed in this study.And they were treated by microvascular decompression(MVD). There were 11 cases of gradeⅠ,16 cases of gradeⅡand 7 cases of gradeⅢaccording to the severity of the contact between nerves and vessels during the operation. All of them were scanned with three dimensional time-of-flight(3D-TOF)sequences, three dimensional fast imaging employing steady state acquisition(3D-FIESTA)sequences and DTI before undergoing surgical decompression. According to the preoperative MR scans,the trigeminal nerves were divided into the healthy side without neurovascular contact (25 cases) and the healthy side with a neurovascular contact (9 cases).The DTI parameters of the trigeminal nerve,including the anisotropic fraction(FA)and the ADC values were obtained.Comparison of the FA and ADC values of the trigeminal nerve between the different stages of the affected side was performed with single factor analysis of variance, and the paired samples t test was used to compare the difference of FA and ADC values of bilateral trigeminal nerve. The difference of FA and ADC values between the asymptomatic side with or without vascular contact was compared with independent sample t test. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between DTI parameters and the degree of compression. Results The FA values of patients with grades Ⅰ,ⅡandⅢwere 0.311±0.009, 0.308±0.007 and 0.299±0.009 respectively,and there was significant difference among different levels(F=5.269,P<0.05).The ADC values of the three grades were(2.298 ± 0.309)×10-3,(2.214 ± 0.175)×10-3and (2.259 ± 0.248)×10-3mm2/s respectively, showing no statistically significant difference(F=0.402,P>0.05). The FA values of bilateral trigeminal nerves in healthy side without neurovascular contact and in healthy side with neurovascular contact were statistically significant (t=-32.528,-25.178,P<0.05). There was significant difference in the ADC value of bilateral trigeminal nerves in the group without neurovascular contact(t=2.162,P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the ADC values of bilateral trigeminal nerves in the healthy side of the neurovascular contact group(P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the FA and ADC values between the two groups on the healthy side of the trigeminal nerve(P>0.05).The FA value was negatively correlated with the degree of vascular compression (r=-0.453,P<0.05),while the ADC value was not correlated with the degree of vascular compression(P>0.05). Conclusion DTI imaging can be used to evaluate the degree of trigeminal nerve injury. More obvious vascular compression leads to lower FA value.
