Objective To study the percentages of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), mononuclear cells (MNC) and fibroblastic cells (FBC) in different post-traumatic intervals after skeletal muscle me-chanical injury in rats. Methods The rat model of skeletal muscle mechanical injury was established. The rats were divided into injured groups (6 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 10 d and 14 d after injury ) and con-trol group. The percentages of PMN, MNC and FBC in different post-traumatic intervals after skeletal muscle mechanical injury were assessed with HE staining and image analysis. Results At post-injury 6-12 h, the percentages of PMN and MNC infiltration appeared in injured sites and that of PMN reached peak. At 1 d, the percentage of MNC infiltration appeared and reached peak, while that of PMN de-creased. At 3-7 d, the percentage of FBC gradually increased, while that of PMN and MNC decreased. At 10-14 d, the percentage of FBC reached peak. Conclusion The percentages of PMN, MNC and FBC in injured zones showed time-dependent changes, which might be used as reference index for determination of age of skeletal muscle injury.

Osteoporosis is a progressive metabolic disease. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), deficiency of the liver, spleen and kidney and blood stasis can induce osteoporosis. The main etiology was kidney deficiency which harmed the liver and spleen and causeqi-blood deficiency and blood stasis. The insufficiency of natural endowment and postnatal malnutrition caused poor nutrition of tendons and vessels, which induced debility of bone. This article discussed the etiology and pathogenesis of TCM understanding on osteoporosis in details. Opportunities and challenges of TCM in osteoporosis treatment were explored. The homology of Chinese medicine and food as well as the long-term of osteoporosis showed that TCM had incomparable superiority in osteoporosis treatment. While, the scientific research methods and reasonable evaluation of TCM safety were important to display its advantages in osteoporosis treatment.

Objective To investigate the expressions of toll-like receptor 4 mRNA and nuclear factor-κB (TLR4-NF-κB) mRNA in lung tissue of rats with acute paraquat poisoning.Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups,namely normal saline group (NS group,n =6) and the PQ groups (n =24).The rats of PQ group were administered with 20 mg/kg PQ by intraperitoneal injection to establish the models of PQ induced lung injury.The saline was administered once instead in normal saline group.The rats of PQ group were sacrificed separately at 6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 hours after modeling,while at 6 hours the rats of normal saline group was sacrificed.The expressions of TLR4 mRNA,NF-κB mRNA,and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 in lung (serum) of rats were detected.Meanwhile,pathological changes of the lung tissue were examined under optical microscope.Results There were no histopathological changes such as alveolar edema,hemorrhage and inflammatory cell infiltration found in NS group other than in PQ group.At the 72 h,the expressions of TLR4 mRNA (9.61 ±0.21),NF-κB mRNA (5.62 ± 0.24),and the levels of TNF-α (153.08 ± 5.02) pg/ml,and interleukin-6 (230.08 ± 10.64) pg/mL in lung tissue of rats were significantly higher in PQ group than those in control group (P < 0.01).Conclusions In rats after PQ poisoning,the expressions of TLR4 mRNA,NF-κB mRNA,and the levels of TNF-αand IL-6 were higher than those in normal rats,and the TLR4-NF-κB pathway could play an important role in lung injury of rats with PQ poisoning.

Objective To research the relation between the time-dependent appearances of myofibroblasts during the repair of contused skeletal muscle in rat and wound age determination. Methods A total of 35 SD male rats were divided into the control and six injured groups according to wound age as fol-lows: 12 h, 1 d, 5 d, 7 d, 10 d and 14 d after injury. The appearances of myofibroblasts were detected by HE staining, immunohistochemistry and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Masson’s trichrome staining was utilized to examine collagen accumulation in the contused areas. Results Immunohistochemical stain-ing showed that α-SMA+ myofibroblasts were initially observed at 5 d post-injury. The average ratio of myofibroblasts was highest at 14 d post-injury, with all samples, ratios more than 50%. In the other five groups, the average of α-SMA positive ratios were less than 50%. The collagen stained areas in the contused zones, concomitant with myofibroblast appearance, were increasingly augmented along with ad-vances of posttraumatic interval. Conclusion The immunohistochemical detection of myofibroblasts can be applied to wound age determination. The myofibroblasts might be involved in collagen deposition during the repair of contused skeletal muscle in rat.

Objective To evaluate the effects of Cypher~(TM) Stent on endothelium regeneration and platelet activation after angioplasty. Methods Six mongrel dogs were implanted Cypher~(TM) stent and Bx sonic stent in the same artery.The target vessels were ablated after angiography and observed by scanning electron microscope at one month and three months after implantation of stents respectively.Result At one month,target vessels of Cypher~(TM) stent were covered with endothelium partly and platelet activation was observed.Target vessels of Bx sonic stent were entirely covered with endothelium and platelet activation wasn't observed.Three months later,target vessels of Cypher~(TM) stent and Bx sonic stent were entirely covered with endothelium and there was no platelet activation on the vessel surface for both groups.Conclusion Endothelium regeneration after implantation of Cypher~(TM) stent was much slower than that of implantation of bare metallic stent,and at three months,the endothelialization was finished.Intensive anti-platelet therapy should be considered after implantation of Cypher~(TM) stent.

Aim To investigate the effect of curcumin against high-fat-diet induced C57BL/6J mice bone changes and the correlation between the expression of cathepsin K and curcumin.Methods Curcumin treated C57BL/6J mice had been on high fat diet for 12 weeks.The HE, Alizarin red S staining and Safranin O/fast green staining of femur were employed to evaluate bone microstructure, bone metabolism and bone development.The expressions of cathepsin K were assessed by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining.Results Histopathological results showed that curcumin could improve the destruction of trabecular bone structure, cartilage development and bone calcification.Biomechanical results proved that curcumin could improve the bone strength of the type 2 diabetic mice induced by high fat.The results of immunohistochemistry and Western blot assay indicated that curcumin could significantly inhibit the expression of cathepsin K in bone tissues of mice.Conclusion Curcumin can increase bone strength, improve bone microstructure, and enhance the degree of bone calcification, which may be achieved by inhibiting the expression of cathepsin K.

ObjectiveTo investigate the radioactive level of gross alpha and beta in drinking water in one district in Shanghai and provide a scientific basis for measuring the level of radiation in case of drinking water pollution due to potential nuclear accidents. MethodsA total of154 samples collected across the district were monitored by using the standard examination method for drinking water - radiological parameters GB/T 5750.13-2006. ResultsAll the samples of the drinking water conformed to the standard for drinking water quality GB 5749-2006. The differences between different seasons were significant. The difference of gross alpha and beta radioactivity of drinking water was significant between the high water period and the dry water period. The former was higher than the latter. ConclusionIt is very important to monitor and study radioactivity of drinking water regularly for the prevention and control of health damage caused by radioactive water pollution.
