Objective To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) in rats after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).Methods Seventy-two adult,male,Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control (CON) group,a hyperbaric air (HBA) group,a normobaric oxygen (NBO) group and a hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) group.All were subjected to MCAO.Rats in the CON group did not receive any treatment; those in the other groups were treated with HBA,NBO or HBO daily beginning 2 hours after the operation.Western blotting was applied to detect the expression of nestin,MAP2 and GFAP at 2,3,7 and 14 days after the MCAO.Results The expression of nestin in the HBO group was significantly higher than in the other groups on the 3rd,7th and 14th days.It peaked at day 3 but remained high until day 14.Similarly,expression of MAP2 was significantly higher than in the other groups at least until day 14.GFAP expression was significantly lower than in the other groups.Conclusion HBO can increase neural stem cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation,and inhibit the proliferation of astrocytes.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and influencing factors leading to sudden cardiac death (SCD) of incarcerated prisoners. Methods Seventy-five SCD cases of prisoners between 2000 and 2013 in Henan province were collected, and environment, psychological and physical factors were retro-spectively analyzed. Combined with histopathological results, specific factors of SCD were also studied. Results In the 75 cases, 21 cases (28%) had definite chronic past medical histories, and 75 cases (100%) had cardiovascular disease confirmed by autopsy. Conclusion Due to presence of the potential cardiac diseases, special incarcerated environment, psychological stress, and body-restraint might be the precipitat-ing factors in SCD of those prisoners.

IFIT family genes are a kind of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs), and play important roles in antiviral sector and immunity regulation. To study the regulatory effect of IFIT family genes during influenza A virus (IAV) infection, we used RNA-sequencing analysis (RNA-Seq) technique and found that when 293T cells were infected by A/WSN/33 (WSN), the concentration of IFIT family genes were increased. Further study reveals that overexpression of IFIT2 or IFIT3 could inhibit IAV replication and transcription, and cause the dose-dependent inhibition of polymerase activity of vRNP. In addition, IFIT2 and IFIT3 encoding protein could colocalize with NS1 in 293T cells infected by WSN, indicating that they might interact with each other. The results suggest that IFIT family genes can inhibit the replication and transcription of IAV, which contributes to our understanding of the regulatory effect of host factors during influenza virus infection.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the possibility of closing bony palatal cleft and lengthening hard palate.

METHODSTen 6-month mongrel dogs were divided into three groups: the control(n = 2), sham control (n = 2) and the experimental group(n = 6). An 8 mm x 25 mm posterior hard palatal cleft was made surgically by bilateral and anterior osteotomies of the palate in six experimental dogs. After a 5-day latency period, a distraction device made of NiTi-shape memory alloy was placed in position for continuous extension of the hard palate. Each distractor was kept in place for 8 weeks after the cleft was closed.

RESULTSThe posterior cleft was closed in 2-3 weeks period of the distraction, while the anterior cleft was narrowed to 1-2 mm in width. The hard palate was lengthened backward obviously. The new bone was observed in the area after the distraction.

CONCLUSIONThe above-mentioned technique may be an effective technique for bony repair of the cleft palate.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen intervention at different time on the neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation in dentate gyrus subgranular zone (SGZ) of adult rats after acute focal cerebral ischemia.Methods Totally 48 Sprague-Dawley male adult rats were randomly divided into a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group, a hyperbaric oxygen group, a hyperbaric air group and a normobaric oxygen group, each of 12.A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was induced to all rats using the modified Zea-Longa's method of intraluminal filament occlusion, Except the MCAO group, the other 3 groups received corresponding hyperbaric oxygen, hyperbaric air and normobaric oxygen intervention once a day two hours after the suture insertion.The rats were sacrificed for double-label immunofluorescent analysis at 2 days, 3 days, 7 days and 14 days after brain ischemia.BrdU +/nestin + labeled the proliferated neural stem cells, and BrdU +/DCX + labeled its differentiated derivates, early neurons, in SGZ of ischemic hippocampus dentate gyrus.Also, the cell number was calculated under the fluorescence microscope.Results Two days after brain ischemia, the numbers of BrdU/nestin and BrdU/DCX cells in SGZ in the hyperbaric oxygen group were (2340.45 ± 1109.59) and (5520.66 ± 1103.09) respectively, which had increased significantly, compared with the hyperbaric air group and normobaric oxygen group (P ＜ 0.05).Three and 7 days after brain ischemia, the numbers of BrdU/nestin and BrdU/DCX cells in SGZ in the hyperbaric oxygen group had shown significant increase compared with the other 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Fourteen days after brain ischemia, the numbers of BrdU/DCX cells in SGZ in the hyperbaric oxygen group had significantly increased compared with the hyperbaric air group, normobaric oxygen group and the MCAO group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen promotes the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells in ischemic SGZ.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of intra-articular injection of ozone in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats and to assess its effects on serum receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels. Methods Forty weight age malched Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group (normal group), the CIA model group (CIA group), ozone (O 3 group), and methotrexate (MTX group). In addition to the normal control group, Freund's complete adjuvant and bovine type Ⅱ collagen were injected to establish the rat model of CIA. After the model was sucessfully developed, double ankle injection concentration ozone group of 40 μg/ml of O3 each 1 ml, 1 times a week, a total of injection for 3 weeks for the experimenal group. MTX group of 0.9 mg/kg was injected 1 times a week for 3 weeks for the MTX group. Degree of foot swelling was measured, and radiographic assessment of arthritis index (AI) score was performed. One week after treatment, angular vein blood was collected for the rats after the intervention, flow multi-factor detection technology was used to test each rat. T test or Wilcoxon rank test was used to compare the difference between groups. Results ① After 3 week administration with O3, dcgree of foot swelling, and AI of the O3 group was reduced significanly than the CIA group during the same period (foot swelling degree: O3 group: (4.21±0.14) ml, CIA group (9.12±0.17) ml, T=64.08, P=0.00; AI O3 group: [(2.97± 0.18) ml, CIA group: 5.76 ±0.13, T=37.24, P=0.00], and X-ray showed joint damage was alleviated. ② The serum level of RANKL in the CIA group was significantly higher than of the normal group [CIA model group 1890.70(797.03, 10571.94)], normal group [74.46(29.21, 95.37), T=43, P=0.005] during the same period; The serum level of RANKL in the O3 group was significantly lower than the CIA group [O3 group 28.09 (14.11, 207.30), CIA group 1890.70 (797.03, 10571.94), T=39, P<0.05]; RANKL level of the Ozone group when compared with MTX group, was not statistically significantly difference (T=52, P>0.05).③Serum RANKL/OPG of the CIA group was significantly higher than that of the normal group during this period, the difference was statistically significant [CIA group 250.68(42.33, 2959.78), normal group 4.32(3.16,5.30), T=36, P<0.01);The serum level of RANKL/OPG in the O3 group was significantly lower than the CIA group [O3 treatment group 5.10 (3.38, 6.64), CIA group 250.68 (42,33, 2959.78), T=36, P<0.01]; There was no statistically significant difference of the serum RANKL/OPG between the O3 group and the MTX group (T=62.5, P>0.05). Conclusion Intra-articular injection of concentration of 40 μg/ml of O3 can reduce RA rat joint swelling degree, which may relate to the mechanism that O3 can lower levels of serum RANKL and RANKL/OPG ratio, reduce osteoclast formation and activation.
