BACKGROUND:In recent years, the effectiveness of stem cel transplantation in the treatment of spinal cord injury has been validated in animal models, and mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for treatment of spinal cord injury has been studied most widely. Currently, there are a number of relevant clinical studies that have shown a good prospect. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for spinal cord injury in human with a system review. METHODS:PubMed database, EMBASE database, Cochrane Library, ISI Web of knowledge, CBM database, VIP database, CNKI database and Wanfang database were searched from their start year up to July 2015 for relevant randomized clinical trials on the treatment of spinal cord injury with mesenchymal stem cel transplantation. The key words were“spinal cord injury, paraplegia, cel transplantation, transplantation, mesenchymal stem cel , bone marrow transplantation, stem cel , randomized control ed trial”in English and Chinese, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 260 articles were retrieved, including 6 randomized clinical trials (252 cases). In the aspects of ASIA touch sensation score, overal Frankel score and daily life activity training score, the patients undergoing mesenchymal stem cel transplantation were significantly superior to those in the control group (P<0.05). In addition, ASIA motor function score and residual urine volume were also improved in the patients undergoing mesenchymal stem cel transplantation, but there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, low fever was more common in the patients undergoing mesechymal stem cel transplantation (P<0.05). Another side effect was lower limb numbness, but there was no difference from the control group (P>0.05). These findings suggest that mesenchymal stem cel transplantation has limited efficacy in the treatment of spinal cord injury and cannot induce severe complications, but there is a need for high-quality randomized control ed trials to prove the efficiency and safety of mesenchymal stem cel transplantation for the treatment of spinal cord injury.

Cervical spondylosis belongs to the category of "arthralgia syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine.From the number and distribution range of disease,the incidence of cervical spondylosis is yearly increasing and shows a trend of younger age.Cervical spondylosis has become one of the common diseases that seriously affect people's health.This article reviews the relevant literature of TCM nursing interventions in the rehabilitation of cervical spondylosis and explores the influence of TCM nursing interventions on patients with cervical spondylosis including tuina,cupping,moxibustion,scrapping,TCM fumigation,auricular therapy and so on,in order to provide a reference for the future practice and research of TCM nursing interventions for patients with cervical spondylosis.

AIM: To investigate the effect of miR-195-5p on ox-LDL-induced vascular endothelial cell injury and its mechanism. METHODS: The expression of miR-195-5p in HUVECs cells induced by ox-LDL was detected by RT-PCR. Cell proliferation, the expression of oxidative stress associated factors (MDA and LDH) and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8, ELISA and flow cytometry, respectively. The potential targets of miR-195-5p were determined by dual luciferase reporter assay. The expression of target protein in ox-LDL-induced HUVECs cells and the relationship between miR-195-5p and FBXW7 expression were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: The expression of miR-195-5p in ox-LDL-induced HUVECs cells was significantly higher than that in normal HUVECs cells. Subsequently, miR-195-5p silencing in ox-LDL-induced HUVECs cells effectively promoted the proliferation of HUVECs cells, whereas suppressed the expression of oxidative stress associated factors (MDA and LDH) and apoptosis level. Luciferase reporter assay and Western blot results showed that miR-195-5p could directly target FBXW7 protein gene and negatively regulate its expression. Finally, miR-195-5p modulated the proliferation, oxidative stress and apoptosis of HUVECs cells induced by ox-LDL by regulating the expression of FBXW7. CONCLUSION: miR-195-5p is highly expressed in HUVECs cells induced by ox-LDL. In addition, miR-195-5p can aggravate ox-LDL-induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress and apoptosis of HUVECs cells by inhibiting the expression of FBXW7.
