Objective To investigate the role of basic fibroblast growth factor（bFGF）on the vascularization of bone matrix gelatin（BMG） embedded vascular bundles in femoral anteriomedialis in the rabbits.Methods A longitudinal incision was done at the hyper-knee joint of femoral anteriomedialis in the Japan big ears white rabbit.Thirty six rabbits were divided into group A（n =12,arteria saphena and vena saphena were liberated and embeded to the groove of BMG soaked by 2 μg/ml bFGF0,group B（n =12,arteria saphena and vena saphena were liberated and embeded to the groove of BMG untreated）,and group C（n =12,the BMG untreated were directly implanted）.The rabbits were sacrificed at 4 weeks,8 weeks and 12 weeks after the surgery respectively by perfusing ink.After the implants were dislodged,transparent specimens were made and Masson stained for histological observations and quantitative analysis.Results After 12 weeks of operation,the neovascularization arranged in an ordered manner in group A,gradually trended to be orderly in group B,and were cluttered mainly on the edge of the implants in group C.The osteogenic and neovascularization areas of group A were the largest on each time point.Conclusion bFGF could promote the vascularization of BMG embedded vascular bundle.There was a positive correlation between osteogenesis and vascularization.

BACKGROUND:Genotype of Kunming mice was similar to human population,thus an establishment of embryonic stem cell line is beneficial for research of transgenic animal.However,the best time to collect embryo has been less reported yet.OBJECTIVE:To find the best time to collect embryos from Kunming mice.METHODS:The embryos were collected from mother mice of 2.5,3.5,and 4.5 pregnant days.Microscope was used to evaluate the growth condition of embryos,embryo attaching rate(A/C),inner cell mass(ICM)growing rate(I/C),embryonic stem cells (ESCs)clone growing rate(P1/C)and ESCs subclone growing rate(P2/C).The cells were then stained with alkaline phosphatase.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Most of the 2.5-pregnant-day embryos were 16-cell-phase embryos.The 3.5-pregnant-day embryos were morulas while the 4.5-pregnant-day embryos were blastulas.There were no significant differences in A/C,I/C,P1/C,P2/C between 2.5 and 3.5 pregnant days(P ＞ 0.05).The 4.5-pregnant-day indicators mentioned above were significantly greater than those two groups;therefore,4.5-pregnant-day embryos were the best source to culture,clone,isolate and passage ESCs.

BACKGROUND: Anterior and dorsal root nerve tracts should be separated to small tracts in high selective dorsal rhizotomy, because detailed tract separation will benefit electrostimulation, thereby helping correctly cutting the lower-threshold Ia nerve fibers that cause convulsion, and meanwhile sensory nerve fibers in dorsal nerve root can be reserved as many as possible.OBJECTIVE: To meet the needs of limited and high selective spinal dorsal rhizotomy, anterior and dorsal root of spinal nerve were microanatomized to be certain of the separation standard and the number of small nerve tracts, so as to provide reliable basis and novel operative standard for clinical operation.DESIGN: Single sample experiment with adult corpses as subjects.SETTING: Orthopedic Department of the First Affiliated Hospital and Department of Anatomy, Jinzhou Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: This study was carried out at the Anatomical Laboratory of Jinzhou Medical College in December 1999. Fifteen adult corpses, 11 males and 4 males, were donated, and the donators signed informed consent when alive.tained from the 15 adult spinal cords (30 sides) and subjected to morphoanterior and dorsal roots of L5 spinal cord were obtained from a fresh corpse for immunohistochemical staining. The starting part, middle part and the exterior of intervertebral foremen was cut into slices, and the total number of nerve fibers, the number of Ia nerve fibers responsible for convulsion, and their percentage in the total fibers were counted. Meanwhile the distribution and the number of Ia nerve fibers in the three parts were compared.ber of nerve fibers per 100 μm2, the percentage of Ia nerve fibers in the total nerve fibers at the starting part, middle part and exterior of intervertebral foremen of spinal nerve dorsal root.root filaments. Microsurgical observation proved that dorsal root could be divided into 10-18 small tracts and anterior root 6-11 tracts; the diameter number of nerve fibers in the three parts of spinal nerve dorsal root was (3 243±143) fibers per 100 μm2, including (1 702±85) Ia nerve fibers that constituted about 52.5% of the total nerve fibers. Ia nerve fibers were found to be evenly distributed in dorsal root and no gathering could be observed.CONCLUSION: The tracts in anterior and dorsal roots of spinal cord should be separated as minutely as possible during improved dorsal rhizotomy, which is beneficial for cutting off Ia nerve fibers correctly. Generally,the anterior root consists of 6-11 small tracts and dorsal roots of 10-18small tracts, and nerve tracts should not be cut off over 1/2 of total dorsal nerve fibers.

Objective To explore the clinical, electrophysiological and molecular genetics features of Kennedy disease (KD) which might contribute to early diagnosis and avoid misdiagnosis of KD. Methods The clinical and electrophysiological data of 13 patients with KD, admitted to our hospital from December 2013 to March 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. The (CAG) repeats in the exon 1 of androgen receptor (AR) gene were conducted by capillary electrophoresis. Results All patients appeared chronic course. Progressive weakness of limbs and muscular atrophy, including lingual muscle and bulbar muscle, were the specific clinical characteristics. Ten patients presented with barymastia and 11 patients with hormonal imbalance. Electromyography (EMG) showed decline of sensory nerve action potential amplitude in most patients. A widespread neuronal damage, such as increased duration of motor unit action potential, fibrillation potential, fascicular potential and positive sharp wave, could be detected. AR gene mutations were detected in all 13 patients. The number of (CAG) repeats expansion in exon 1 of AR gene ranged from 40 to 54. Conclusions The impairment of lower motor neuron, bulbar palsy and hormonal imbalance are the main clinical features in patients with KD. EMG shows chronic widespread neuronal damage. AR gene mutation detection plays a vital role in the final diagnosis of KD.

Objective:To explore the expression and clinical significance of miR-143 in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) .Methods:Tumor samples and adjacent tissues from 52 patients with PTC were obtained from Jan. 1st, 2018 to Mar. 31st, 2018 in Thyroid Surgery Department of the Affiliated Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital of Qingdao University. Quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to measure the expression of miR-143 in those subjects. In addition, the relationship between the expression levels of miR-143 and the clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed.Results:RT-qPCR indicated that the expression of miR-143 was down-regulated in PTC, which was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues ( t=-21.39, 95% CI: 18.20-15.07, P<0.001) . Low expression of miR-143 was related to the number of lymph node metastasis ≥3 in central compartment ( t=10.13, P=0.012) and lateral neck lymph node metastasis ( t=-4.67, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Downregulation of miR-143 in PTC is linked to the metastasis of PTC and may be a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Objective:To explore the clinical data and gene mutation of a family of adult-onset autosomal dominant leukodystrophy (ADLD).Methods:The clinical data and neuroimaging features of a family of ADLD (4 generation, 5 patients), admitted to our hospital in January 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. Whole exome sequencing was performed in DNA from peripheral blood of the proband and some family members. Fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to verify the pathogenic genes of the proband and family members.Results:The clinical manifestations included abnormal autonomic dysfunction (transient hypoglycemia and dilated pupil), chronic spastic paraplegia, and movement disorder in the proband and other patients in the family; their neuroimaging features included extensive involvement of the white matter, cerebellar peduncles, corpus callosum, and spinal cord. A duplication of 1-11 coding exons in the LMNB1 gene was identified in the proband. Fluorescent quantitative PCR verified that duplication of 1, 5 and 11 coding exons in the LMNB1 gene was identified in the proband and 2 sisters. Conclusion:The duplication of 1-11 coding exons in the LMNB1 gene can cause ADLD, and the clinical manifestations, neuroimaging and genetic characteristics should be comprehensively analyzed in the diagnosis of ADLD .

Objective:To summarize the clinical and imaging features of 10 patients with genetically diagnosed neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) to avoid clinical misdiagnosis and mismanagement of NIID.Methods:Ten patients with NIID, admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to March 2022, were chosen in our study. All patients were confirmed as having NIID by NOTCH2NLC gene assay. Their clinical data, gene detection results and skin pathological results were collected and anlyzed. Results:These patients aged from 57 to 84 years, including 8 females. The episodic symptoms as main symptoms were noted in 6 patients, including 3 patients with encephalopathy, 1 patient with TGA, 1 patient with stroke-like episode, and 1 patient with migraine-like symptoms. Chronic progressive symptoms as main symptoms were noted in 4 patients, including 3 patients with dementia and 1 patient with Parkinson's disease. There were characteristic linear hyper-intensities in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the corticomedullary junction predominantly in the frontal lobes. White matter lesions appeared in T2 Flair might have been noted years before lesions appeared in DWI, with wider ranges. All had GGC repeated expansion in NOTCH2NLC gene in non-coding area, with mutation number>60. Skin biopsy was performed in 6 patients, showing the formation of intranuclear inclusion bodies in different cells; and ubiquitin and P62 were found positive in immunohistochemical staining. Conclusions:NIID patients have large clinical heterogeneity; most patients have episodic symptoms as main manifestations, often accompanied by chronic progressive symptoms; stroke attack and migraine are rare clinical phenotypes of NIID. The high signal at the cortical medullary junction in DWI is a characteristic imaging change.
