Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture plus early-stage rehabilitation training on the neurological function and levels of serum ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Method Sixty-eight patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 34 cases each. The control group was intervened by conventional medications, while the treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus early-stage rehabilitation training in addition to the medications given to the control group. The two groups were both treated once a day, 10 d as a treatment course. Three treatment courses later, the changes of serum IMA and NSE levels were observed; the Modified Edinburgh-Scandinavian Stroke Scale (MESSS), Barthel Index (BI) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scores were compared before and after the treatment.Result The MESSS, BI and FMA scores were significantly changed in both groups after the intervention (P<0.01). After the intervention, the MESSS, BI and FMA scores in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.05). The serum IMA and NSE levels were significantly changed in both groups after the intervention (P<0.01). After the treatment, the serum IMA and NSE levels in the treatment group were markedly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture medication combined plus early-stage rehabilitation training can promote the recovery of neurological function of acute cerebral infarction patients, which is related to the down-regulation of serum NSE and IMA levels.

Objective To investigate the image characteristics of Synovial Sarcoma, and improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods The clinical materials and image findings of synovial sarcomas proved by pathology and were retrospectively analyzed in 13 cases.Results ①Most synovial sarcomas located in close proximity to joints, especially large joints of lower limbs . ②The mass diameter was usually more than 5cm ,and most masses presented moderate density, and some with calcification inside it on X-ray films. ③Most masses density was not homogeneous and lower than that of the muscle on CT, the demarcation was clear or not. ④On T2WI /STIR of MRI, most tumours presented slightly hyperintense "cobble" nodules , with hypointense septa among the nodules. After contrast, the nodules were unenhanced or enhanced slightly,the septa were markedly enhanced. Conclusion Some image features of synovial sarcoma ,especially on MRI, are helpful for the diagnosis of it.

Objective:To elucidate the role of ERK1/2 MAPKs signal transduction in the protective effects of ischemic preconditioning during liver transplantation. Methods: Twenty-four rats were equally randomized into 4 groups: sham control (group A); liver transplantation (group B); ischemic preconditioning+liver transplantation (group C), and MEK inhibitor intervention+ischemic preconditioning+liver transplantation (group D). Serum AST and ALT were detected after operation and cellular ultrastructures were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Liver tissue ERK1/2 MAPKs phosphorylation activities were evaluated through determining ERK-1 protein phosphorylation by Western blotting. Results: Serum ALT and AST activity in group B and group D was significantly higher than those in group A, and remained normal in group C. Liver tissue ERK1/2 MAPKs phosphorylation activity increased significantly in group C, and the activation effect was inhibited in group B and D. Cellular ultrastructure was obviously damaged in group B and group D, and the damage was prevented in group C.Conclusion: Ischemic preconditioning has a protective effect on transplanted liver cells in which ERK1/2 MAPKs pathway plays a pivotal role.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mRNA and protein expression of MICA in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and the Hep-2 cells. METHOD: Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western-blot were used to detect the expression of MICA mRNA and protein levels in the Hep-2 cells and laryngeal cancer tissues. RESULT: The MICA mRNA showed higher expression in Hep-2 cells by RT-PCR. Compared with the control, the mRNA expression of MICA was significantly enhanced in laryngeal cancer tissues (t = 11.878, P < 0.01). The intensity of MICA expression is not related to the clinical stage of cancer. MICA protein demonstrated higher level expression by Western blot. The intensity of MICA protein expression was decreased with increased clinical stage in laryngeal cancer tissues. CONCLUSION The MICA mRNA showed stronger expression in Hep-2 cells and laryngeal cancer tissues. The intensity of its expression is not related to clinical stage of cancer. The MICA protein expression was strong in Hep-2 cells. The intensity of MICA protein expression was decreased with increased clinical stage in laryngeal cancer tissues. MICA may play an important role in laryngeal carcinoma process.

BACKGROUND:Hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)treatment promotes the proliferation and differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells in neonatal rats following hypoxic/ischemic brain damage(HIBD).The Wnt signaling pathway is associated with neurogenesis.However,there are few data recording the role of HBO in the differentiation of neural stem cells in vitro.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of HBO on differentiation and Wnt3 expression of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs).METHODS:BMSCs were isoiated and cultured.The rat BMSCs of passages 3-5 were cultured in DMEM/F12(1:1)medium with basic fibroblast growth factor,epidermal growth factor and B27 for 24 hours.The induced BMSCs were randomly divided into two groups:control group(no treatment)and HBO group(HBO,0.10 MPa,60 minutes stabilizing pressure with at least 90% oxygen).The neuron specific encloase(NSE),glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)and 04 marked oligodendrocyte immunocytochemistry were detected by immunofluorescent staining,and Wnt3 protein expression was detected by Western-blot.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:BMSCs cultured in classic medium of neural stem cells could significantly induce the expression of nestin.The expression of NSE and 04 of HBO group was greater than control group(P＜0.01),but GFAP expression displayed no significant difference between the groups(P＞0.05).Western blot showed HBO could enhance the Writ3 expression (P＜0.05).Results show that HBO can induce BMSCs to differentiate into neural cells and oligodendrocyte,which is correlated with the activation of the Wnt3 protein.
