Objective To evaluation of the result of transplantation of BDNF gene transfected olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) to repair spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods The rat with SCI were divided into non-OECs, OECs and transfected OECs groups. The evidences of anatomical regeneration across the transection site were demonstrated by both neuronal tracing and immunohistochemical methods. Results 12w after implantation the retrograde labeling study with flurogold showed abundant labeled neurons in the superior part of CNS. There were a lot of labeled neurons in the intermediate zone and dorsal column of lower thoracic spinal cord rostral to the transection site. Labeled neurons were also observed in the upper thoracic and cervical spinal cord, reticular nucleus and raphe nucleus of oblongata, as well as reticular nucleus and parabrachial nucleus of pons. The anterograde labeling of PHA-L showed that regenerated fibers of upper neurons overcame glial scar and regrew into the distal part of spinal cord through the grafts. Some labeled fibers extended long enough to the caudal gray matter of the transected site. Conclusion The implantation of OECs transfected by BDNF gene may benefit the survival and regeneration of the injured axons, and accelerate the repair of the injured spinal cord in a more efficient way than that with OECs alone.

Objective To study the effect of Vincristine-loaded intact human erythrocytes on tumor cell in vitro. Methods VCR was loaded in intact human erythrocytes using a modified hypotonic preswelling technique. The proliferation of K562 cells after incubation with VCR-loaded erythrocytes was detected by MTT. Cellular cycle and apoptosis of K562 cells were analyzed through FACS staining with PI/Rhodamin123, and morphology of apoptotic K562 cells and their nucleus were observed through staining with Hoechest33258. Results VCR-loaded erythrocytes could efficiently inhibit the proliferation of co-cultured K562 cells and induce the cells′ apoptosis in a dosage-dependent manner. Cellular cycle analysis demonstrated that proportion of K562 cells in G 0/G 1 decreased whereas in S+G 2/M increased after incubation with VCR-loaded erythrocytes. Such effects could also be displayed from alone VCR group, and significant change was observed in K562 cells co-cultured with unloaded erythrocytes (P

BACKGROUND: Some researches demonstrate that jog stress at fracture part can promote formation of callus, but molecular biological mechanism of jog stress on fracture healing is still unclear.OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of jog stress at fracture site on basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)at broken parts.DESIGN:Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING:Department of Orthopaedics,General Hospital of the Second Artilleryman of Chinese PLA;Departments of Orthopaedics and Pharmacy,the First Affiliated Hospital of General Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS:The experiment was carried out in the Animal Laboratory,the First Affiliated Hospital of General Hospital of Chinese PLA and the 8th Laboratory,Academy of Military Medical Sciences of Chinese PLA from March 2003 to April 2004.A total of 72 healthy purebred New Zealand rabbits,of general grade,5-6 months old,weighing 2.5-3.0 kg,were provided by Animal Center of Academy of Military Medical Sciences of Chinese PLA.All rabbits were randomly divided into jog group and fixation group with 36 rabbits in each group.And then,every 6 rabbits in both groups were respectively observed at 6 time points,including 7,14,21,28,42 and 56 days.METHODS:All animals were anesthetized with ketamine and sumian xinji.Fixation needle was rotated into 3,3.5,5.5 and 6 cm below platform of tibia,respectively,and then external fixators were installed.Chuck which was located at 1.5 cm from internal cortical bone and 4.5 cm below platform of tibia crossly cut off tibia.Fracture space was 2.0 mm and 2.5 mm in the fixation group and jog group,respectively.Animals in the fixation group were fixed with unilateral external fixator to dissect replace fracture part.In addition,animals in the jog group cut off their bone,fixed,and moved 0.5 mm to axis along central staff of external fixator.Animals were able to freely walk and external fixator was slightly shaken based on body mass of animal.Furthermore,all animals were sacrificed at 7,14,21,28,42 and 56 days after operation.According to the center of fracture part,samples in 1 cm length were cut,divided and fixed for 12 hours.Quantitative analysis of bFGF and colorized intensity were detected with immunohistochemical stain and JVC imaging analytic system at 7,14,21,28,42 and 56 days after operation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①Detecting colored intensity of bFGF;②quantitative analysis of bFGF.RESULTS:A total of 72 rabbits were involved in the final analysis bFGF could express in interstitial cells,vascular endothelial cell,osteoblast,chondroblast and osteocyte plasma.At 14,21 and 28 days after operation,positive indexes of bFGF protein in the jog group were 1.98±0.14,2.04±0.12 and 2.13±0.17,respectively,which were obviously higher than those in fixation group(1.59±0.14,1.68±0.15,1.63±0.27,P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:Jog stress can increase numbers of bFGF at fracture part and promote fracture healing.

BACKGROUND:Animal models of osteoporosis play an important role in the research of the pathogenesis, occurrence and development of osteoporosis, as wel as in the clinical diagnosis, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE: To summarize and discuss the establishment and research ideas of osteoporosis models, explore the current situation and advance of osteoporosis models, compare the advantages and disadvantages of various methods, and provide evidence for clinical investigation. METHODS: A computer-based online search was conducted in SinoMed, VIP, Wanfang and PubMed databases by using the key words of “animal model, osteoporosis” from January 1969 to October 2015. The language was limited to both Chinese and English. Relevant articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The documents about the methods of osteoporosis model preparation, method improvement as wel as their advantage and disadvantage were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 576 articles were included. Among them, articles published earlier, duplicated, and similarly were excluded, and 53 articles were finaly included. Various animal models of osteoporosis may only focus on the certain causes, certain stage, some of the main symptoms and some pathophysiological changes of disease. Accordingly, appropriate modeling methods and experimental animals should be selected based on research objective. Rat undergoing castration is the most commonly used model in the modeling of osteoporosis. Among drug methods for constructing osteoporosis model, glucocorticoids is the most commonly used one. Disuse method and nutritional method have limitations, and always combined with castration and drug methods. The effects of gene transfer, gene mutation and brain-derived model deserve

In this study the relation between the extent and type of disc protrusion and the clinical severity of symptoms of low back pain was observed. Our series consisted of 300 consecutive cases of lumbar disc protrusion,with their diagnosis confirmed by intraoperative observation. Preoperative pain severity was assessed using a back pain scale that combined the symptoms of back pain and sciatica. Intraoperaative pathological findings of disc were documented and comparesd with preoperative symptoms and signs. The pathological changes of disc were classified as following four subtypes: bulging disc (85 cases), protruding disc (104 cases), extruded disc (72 cases) and sequestered disc (39 cases). Our results suggest that severity of pain in patients with herniated lumbar disc is related to position of herniation rather than magnitude and exent of herniation. Inflammed intraspinal tissues are significantly associated with low back pain and sciatica.

Objective To investigate the expression of IL-8 and CXCR2 on keratinocytes from psoriatic lesions and their roles on clinical and pathologic manifestations. Methods The chemotaxis of psoriatic lesional keratinocytes was detected by micropore loculus test. The concentration of IL-8 was determined in the cultured supernatants of psoriatic keratinocytes by ELISA. The expression of CXCR2 on keratinocytes from affected skin was tested by flow cytometry. Results The chemotaxis for neutrophils by the cultured supernatants of psoriatic lesional keratinocytes was significantly stronger than that by controls. The concentration of IL-8 in the cultured supernatants of psoriatic lesional keratinocytes was also increased. The expression of CXCR2 on psoriatic keratinocytes was significantly increased. Conclusions The psoriatic epidermal hyperproliferation may be correlated with up regulation of IL-8 production and CXCR2 expression on psoriatic keratinocytes. At the same time, the psoriatic inflammation may be partly related to the increase of secretion of IL-8, which has chemotactic capacity, by keratinocytes. IL-8 and CXCR2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Pancreatogenic diabetes is a type of diabetes secondary to pancreatic exocrine disease， and it was officially named by American Diabetes Association in 2014. Chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer are the most common causes of pancreatogenic diabetes. The pathogenesis of this disease remains unclear， and there is still a lack of systematic treatment regimens， which leads to the extremely high misdiagnosis rate of pancreatogenic diabetes in China and globally. In addition， studies have shown that compared with patients with type 2 diabetes， patients with pancreatogenic diabetes tend to have higher risks of death and readmission， which brings great challenges to the health and clinical treatment of patients. Therefore， the comprehensive understanding and early accurate identification and diagnosis of pancreatogenic diabetes are of great significance in reducing the disability and mortality rates of this disease. This article elaborates on the possible pathogenesis of pancreatogenic diabetes.
