The changes of calcium and magnesium content in brain tissue (BCa;BMg) and in the mitochondria (MCa,MMg) and calmodulin content in the cortex and hippocampus (CCaM,HCaM) were determined in the rats with 4-vessel-ligation cerebral ischemia.And then the therapeutic effects of nimodipine were observed during ischemic and.reperfusion stages of the brain.It was found that BMg and BMg were decreased and CCaM HCaM increased during both the ischemic and reperfusion stages and BCa and MCo were increased during the reperfusion stage.The fact that calcium content was only increased during the reperfusion stage indicates that the influx of calcium plays an important role to precipitate injury during the reperfusion stage.Adminstration of nimodipine could prevent the increase of calcium and calmodulin and the decrease of magnesium after cerebral ischemia.

Objective To discuss the application value of DHS and cannulated screws in treatment of the intertrochanteric fractures . Methods 23 cases of intertrochanteric fractures were treated with DHS and cannulated screws and 20 cases were followed up for an average period of 12 months. Results All the fractures healed . The recovery of function was excellent in 90%cases. Conclusions Using DHS and cannulated screws to treat the intertrochantenic fractures easily leads to anatomical reduction and rigid fixation, and gives large definitive rotational stability.

Objective To discuss the feasibility of application of anterior approach video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in thoracic and upper lumbar spine. Methods In the study there were: 5 patients with tuberculosis of thoracic or lumbar spine (T 6 ～ L 2) undergoing thoracoscopic cleaning of focus,with or without bone grafting; 3 patients with vertebral burst fracture ( T 10 ～ T 12 ) and 1 patient with old burst fracture (L 1) accompanied with cauda equina syndrome undergoing thoracoscopic decompression,bone grafting and plate screw internal fixation; 1 patient with intervertebral disc protrusion (T 3 ～ 4 ) accompanied with spinal compression receiving thoracoscopic decompression and spondylodesis. Results The incisions in all the patients healed by first intention.CT or MRI examinations revealed that: the foci had been cleaned thoroughly and the spinal cords had been decompressed completely; the reduction was satisfactory,except for 1 patient with slight angulation deformity; the internal fixation was stable,with proper position. Conclusions VATS focus cleaning is suitable for patients with diseases in thoracic or upper lumbar spine,regardless of whether there is compression of spinal cord or cauda equine or not,and,if necessary,spinal decompression,anterior bone grafting,or internal fixation may be conducted simultaneously.

Objective To explore the effect of tiotropium bromide combined with ambroxol hydrochloride oral liquid on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at remission.Methods According to the digital table, 38 patients with COPD at remission were randomly divided into treatment group and control group .The control group was given with conventional treatment ,and anti-infection and symptomatic treatment when acute attacking ,while the treatment group was treated with inhaled tiotropium bromide and ambroxol Hydrochloride oral liquid base on the con -trol group.Both groups were treated and observed for 6 months.Times of expectoration and acute attack of COPD were observed,and scores of COPD Assessment Test ( CAT) were noted everyday during therapy .Results Compared with the control group ,the total times and means of expectoration in treatment group were much less ,with very significant statistical difference(t=5.19,P<0.05);the cases,times and means of acute attack of COPD were obviously less than those in control group,with very significant statistical difference (t=2.92,P<0.05);the total scores and means of CAT in treatment group were much lower,with significant statistical difference(t=2.65,P<0.05).Conclusion With long-term treatment ,inhaled tiotropium bromide combined with ambroxol hydrochloride oral liquid can effectively decrease the times of expectoration and acute attack in patients with COPD at remission,and improve their qualities of life.

Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is a kind of endogenous scaffold protein. Previous research showed that ANXA1 could increase markedly with multiple increase of drug resistance in K562/imatinib cell lines in vitro. Here the stable transfection cell strains K562-pEGFP-N1 which was the native control and K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 which can stably express ANXA1 were established using the Lipofectamine 2000 in order to find whether ANXA1 involved in the drug resistance. Cell growth inhibition experiment via MTT and cell proliferation experiment via MTS showed that K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain was more sensitive to imatinib than the K562-pEGFP-N1 cell strain, and however the ability of proliferation of K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain did not change compared with the negative control. Western blotting results showed that the expression of proteins in Annexin family did not change; drug resistance proteins, Bcr-Abl/p-Bcr-Abl (Tyr245), Src family kinase for example, did not change; proteins related with cell proliferation and cell cycle, such as ERK1/2MAPK, p-38MAPK, CDK1 and Wee 1, did not change either in the K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain compared with the negative control. The co-immunoprecipitation result showed that the interaction between ANXA1 and beta-actin in the K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain increased markedly. The deduction was that ANXA1 may make the K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain more sensitive to imatinib due to the increased uptake of imatinib via the increase of ANXA1 and the interaction between ANXA1 and beta-actin in the K562-pEGFP-N1-ANXA1 cell strain in vitro.

Objective To explore the possible mechanism by which protein kinase C (PKC) involves in the neuronal apoptosis induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion Methods After the model of ischemia/reperfusion was established in male Wistar rats, PKC activity, FOS protein expression and neuronal apoptosis in their brains were observed The effect of PKC inhibitor, Dengzhanghua, on above indexes were studied at the same time Results Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion resulted in transloactional activation of PKC, accompanied with the increase of FOS expression and neuronal apoptosis Dengzhanghua prevented against the above changes Conclusion Activated PKC is involved in ischemia/reperfusion induced neuronal apoptosis by regulating FOS expression

Objective To observe the effects of flunarizine on the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) of Wistar rats at different time points. Methods An ICH rat model was established by collagenase. The concentrations of intracellular free Ca 2+ at different time points after ICH were determined by the fluorescence detector with an indicator, Fura 2/AM. The effects of flunarizine on the concentrations at different time points were also observed. Results The concentration of intracellular free Ca 2+ began to increase at 0.5 h, increased significantly at 6 h, and peaked at 24 h (about 4 folds as high as that before hemorrhage), but began to decrease at 72 h after acute intracerebral hemorrhage. Flunarizine decreased the concentration of intracellular free Ca 2+ significantly ( P

Objective To observe the ultrastructural changes of the infarcted region after transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into the infarcted rats. Methods Model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) in Wistar rats was established. The isolated and cultured MSCs in vitro were injected into the infarcted region. The ultrastructural changes of the infracted region were observed at 4 w after transplantation by electron microscopy. Results Some immature cells surrounding the neurons were found to survive in the infracted region. Massive free ribosomes were observed in the neural cytoplasm in the infarcted region in the rats receiving MSCs transplantation, but neurons with nuclear pyknosis and neurophagia were observed in the infarcted region of rats in the control group. Conclusion MSCs transplantation might improve neuron repair in cerebral ischemic injury in rats.
