Objective To transplant the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(UCMSCs) derived from human umbilical cord into cisterna magna of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) rat model,and to observe their survival,proliferation and differentiation in the rat brain.Methods UCMSCs were isolated from human umbilical cord of babies delivered after full-term normal cesarean section,and labeled by bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU).Pregnant rats were randomly divided into experimental group(n=6) and control group(n=1).HIE models were built by ligating both sides of the uterine arteries of full-pregnant rats(21 days) in experimental group rats for 15 minutes.The neonatal rats in experimental group were divided into stem cells group(n=24) and PBS group(n=19) at random.The labeled UCMSCs were injected into cisterna magna of the rats in stem cells group,while PBS was injected into the rats of PBS group.In 1,2,3 and 4 weeks after transplantation,the brain tissue section slides were immunohistochemically stained with antibodies against BrdU,Nestin,neuron specific enolase(NSE) and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP),and thionin.Control group with normal delivery was tested as concurrent control.Results At 1 week after transplantation,BrdU,Nestin,NSE and GFAP positive cells were found in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of the rats in stem cells group rats.The number of BrdU-positive and Nestin-positive cells increased(Pa0.05).The NSE-positive and GFAP-positive cells gradually increased from 1-4 weeks post transplantation and comparisons between groups had statistical significance(Pa

AIM: To test the expression of erythropoietin (Epo) and its receptor EpoR in normal and neovascularized murine corneas induced by alkali burns, and to investigate whether Epo/EpoR is involved in the process of corneal angiogenesis.METHODS: The expression of Epo/EpoR was tested in normal and neovascularized murine corneas induced by alkali burns through immunohistochemistry of corneal frozen sections. Epo cloning, expression, and purification were carried out. Then Epo protein (6μL, 1μg) and control (6μ L of vector control or saline) were injected into the corneal stroma respectively, and the corneas were checked at the 14th day after injection to see whether corneal neovascuarization occurred.RESULTS: Epo/EpoR was expressed in epithelial cells, endothelial cells and stromal cells in normal and neovascularized corneas induced by alkaline burns, and also expressed strongly in neovascularized cornea. They were expressed at the same time in stromal inflammatory cells and new vessels. Corneal neovascularization was induced by Epo intrastromal injection in 5 out of 6 eyes ,but no new vessels were observed in all controls (n = 6) at day 14 after vector control or saline intrastromal injection in normal corneas.CONCLUSION: This paper first reported the expression of Epo and its receptor in normal and neovascularized cornea. Injection of Epo into the corneal stroma may induce the corneal neovascularization. Epo/EpoR is associated with the formation of corneal neovascularization.

Objective To study changes of phosphorylated cyclic adenosine monophosphate(c-AMP) response element binding protein in hippocampus(CA1) of neonatal rats after cerebral hypoxic-ischemia(HI)and effects of gangliosides (GM1)on the p-CREB.Methods An animal model of neonatal hypoxic-ischemia brain damage was established. Changes of p-CREB in hippocampal CA1 was detected with immunohistochemical methods.Results The p-CREB levels in the CA1 of HI and GM1 groups increased transiently and then decreased quickly, but there was no significant difference between HI and GM1 group.Conclusion The p-CREB levels in the CA1 of HI group increase transiently and then decrease quickly after HI ;GM1 has little effect on p-CREB in the CA1 after HI.

Inhalational anesthetics have been the default agents for general anesthesia maintenance for several decades. However, with advances in total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and a growing body of evidence on the potential benefits of TIVA, anesthesiologists need to question this paradigm. Some of the benefits of propofol-based TIVA, such as its antiemetic properties and patients’ smooth emergence, are widely acknowledged. A growing body of evidence suggests that TIVA may potentially benefit the immune system and cancer outcomes. From an existential health perspective, there is evidence that inhalational agents have a materially higher global warming potential than propofol-based TIVA. Despite the compelling potential benefits of propofol-based TIVA, there are barriers to its widespread adoption. To examine the applicability of TIVA as a mainstay agent more rigorously, we discuss the safety and applicability of propofol-based TIVA in the context of complex major abdominal surgery, specifically, liver resection surgery. We also discuss the use of propofol-based TIVA in liver resection surgery with a broad, integrated approach, addressing general and specific clinical considerations, economic factors, and operating room turnover.
