Objective To investigate the changes in TNF? content of sciatic nerve induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) of sciatic nerve to determine the role of TNFa in the development of neuropathic pain. Methods Eight-four female health SD rats weighing 250-300g were anesthetized with sodium barbiturate. Unilateral sciatic nerve was exposed and ligated at the middle of thigh. Three ligatures (chromic catgut 4.0) were placed around the sciatic nerve and tied. The distance between the two ligatures was about 1 mm. Sham operation was performed on the contralateral thigh. The sciatic nerve was exposed and mobilized but not ligated. The thermal nociceptive threshold was determined by measuring the withdrawal latency of hindpaw placed on a 58℃ hot plate on days 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 14 after surgery. Animals were sacrificed on days 0.5, 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 after surgery. Sciatic nerves were removed from both thighs and frozen at - 80℃ for determination of TNF? content. Sciatic nerve from healthy animals was used as control. The percentage of maximal possible response (% MPR) , was determined for each group (CCI, sham operation, control) % MPR= (new withdrawal latency- average baseline latency)/( 15-average baseline latency) . The distribution of TNF? between supernatant and sediment was also determined. Results The average baseline nociceptive threshold (withdrawal latency) was (7.9?0.2)s. There was significant different in %MPR between the two hindpaws on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 after surgery. The TNF? content of sciatic nerve from healthy rats was (40.62? 0.24) pg/mg protein. The TNF? content of the ligated sciatic nerve was elevated abruptly in 12h after ligation, then abruptly declined to a plateau but was still significantly higher than that of sham-operated side on days 1 and 3. There was no significant difference in TNF? content of sciatic nerve between control group and sham-operation group. The relative content of TNF? content in the sediment of ligated sciatic nerve gradually increased and reached the peak on day 7 and then gradually decreased. Conclusion The TNF? content of peripheral nerves plays an important role in the development of neuropathic pain. Membrane-combined TNF? is involved in the process of nerve repairing.

Objective To investigate the corrective effect of modified Brisson technique to treat concealed penis in children.Methods From July 2014 to July 2016,selected 12 patients (3-10 years old,mean 7.2 years old) with concealed penis were surgically treated with the modified Brisson technique in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.Their clinical manifestations included the penis buried below the surface of prepubic skin which can be palpated and visualized through pushing the skin around the penis to the pubis and the short foreskin which was not attached to the penile corpus cavernosum.Patients with other conditions such as obesity and penial agenesis that caused buried penis were excluded from the study.The modified Brisson technique consisted of 4 steps.Ventral incision was used to gradually slit the narrow ring of the prepuce and to expose the glans followed by circumfe-rential inner foreskin incision made below the coronary sulcus of penis then the foreskin stripping released the corpus cavernosum.Finally the skin coverage was accomplished by posthioplasty.The operation time,blood loss,complications,postoperative treatments and followed-ups were retrospectively analyzed.Results For all the 12 patients,the operations were successful,lasting 40 to 60 minutes.The bleeding was about 5 to 10 mL and there was no operation-related complications like bleeding and infection of incision.Satisfactory cosmetic outcomes were obtained without retraction and the scars were similar to those of circumcision.All patients had penile lymphedema postoperatively which disappeared within 6 months after operation.Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 1 year,and there were no complications like skin necrosis and contracture or voiding difficulty.Conclusions The modified Brisson technique for concealed penis repair is technically easy and safe.In addition,it provides a good cosmetic appearance,functional outcomes and excellent postoperative satisfaction grades.

This study investigated the inhibitory effects of curcumin on proliferation of hematological malignant cells in vitro and the anti-tumor mechanism at histone acetylation/histone deacetylation levels. The effects of curcumin and histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) on the growth of Raji cells were tested by MTT assay. The expression of acetylated histone-3 (H(3)) in Raji, HL60 and K562 cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with curcumin or TSA was detected by immunohistochemistry and FACS. The results showed curcumin inhibited proliferation of Raji cells significantly in a time- and dose-dependent fashion, while exhibited low toxicity in PBMCs. Curcumin induced up-regulation of the expression of acetylated H(3) dose-dependently in all malignant cell lines tested. In conclusion, curcumin inhibited proliferation of Raji cells selectively, enhanced the level of acetylated (H(3)) in Raji, HL60, and K562 cells, which acted as a histone deacetylase inhibitor like TSA. Furthermore, up-regulation of H(3) acetylation may play an important role in regulating the proliferation of Raji cells.

Objective To establish a regenerative system in vitro and determine the endogenous hormones of Zanthoxylum dissitum. Methods Lamina of Z. dissitum was used as the explant. Callus adventitious bud differentiation was carried out by culturing on MS with different hormones. At the same time,in the course of callus induction,four endogenous hormone of GA3,IAA,ABA,and ZR were determined by ELISA. Results The optimum medium for adventitious bud regeneration of Z. dissitum was MS+6-BA 0.5 mg/L+NAA 0.1 mg/L,and the highest induction rate could reach to 61%. During the process of the differentiation of explants callus,the contents of ZR and IAA were correspondingly higher than other endogenous hormones,the content of ABA was always kept in low level during this process,the content of GA3 was kept in the trend of upgrading during the earlier differentiation period. Conclusion It could be considered that ZR and IAA should be the critical factors in the bud induction. According to the results,a proper adding of GA3in the culture medium could improve the differentiation rate of the adventitious bud. On the other side,ABA might be the negative regulation factor.
