ObjectiveTo observe the effects of the Partner Rehabilitation Gymnastics on periarthritis of shoulder in later stage. MethodsPatients were randomly divided into 2 groups: 60 in treatment group accepted the Partner Rehabilitation Gymnastics, and the other 60 accepted the forcing active and passive physiotherapy.Results76.66% of the treatment group recovered, 96.66% improved; while 45% of the control group recovered, 73.33% improved. The scores of visual analogous scale and activity of daily living improved after treatment in both groups, and the differences pre- and post-treatment were more in treatment group than in control group. ConclusionThe Partner Rehabilitation Gymnastics is more effective than the routine forcing active and passive physiotherapy on periarthritis of shoulder.

Objective To study the photodynamic therapeutical efficacy of a novel photosensitizer DTP on sensitive gastric cancer cells (SGC7901) and vincristine-resistant gastric cancer cells (SGC7901/VCR).Methods The P-gp expression on the SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR cell membrane was indirectly confirmed by fluorescence microscopy.The survival rates of SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR cells were evaluated by cell counting kit (CCK-8) after photodynamic therapy with DTP.The intracellular DTP uptake levels of two types of cell were determined using a fluorescence spectrophotometer,and the intracellular DTP distributions were observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy.Results The novel photosensitizer DTP has considerable photodynamic cytotoxic effect on SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR cells.However,this effect on the SGC7901NCR cells was relatively weak (P<0.05),and could not be enhanced by P-gp inhibitor verapamil or cyclosporine A(P>0.05).The DTP uptake level in SGC7901 cells was higher than that in SGC7901/VCR cells (P<0.05),and could not be enhanced by P-gp inhibitor verapamil and cyclosporin A (P>0.05).It was found that DTP distributed in the lysosomes of SGC7901 cells and in the lysosomes and mitochondria of SGC7901/VCR cells.Conclusions The novel photosensitizer DTP is not the substrate of multidrug transporter P-gp,and its weaker photodynamic cytotoxic effect on SGC7901/VCR cells is independent of the P-gp overexpression on its cell membrane,which may be related to the distribution of intracellular DTP in the two types of cell.

ObjectiveTo prepare recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF) loaded magnesium-poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (Mg-PLGA) stent and to evaluate its angiogenesis effect in rat model of hindlimb ischemia.MethodsThe stent was prepared with spiral magnesium (Mg) and loaded with therapeutic agent rhbFGF and PLGA matrix.In vitro drug release study was carried out and the effect was evaluated using a standard animal model of rat hindlimb ischemia.A mechanical drill was conducted and the stent was implanted.The concentrations of Mg2+ in the muscle adjacent to the stent,rat plasma,urine and stools of the experimental animals were tested to analyze the degradation and metabolism of metal Mg.Immunohistochemical staining was performed to evaluate the angiogenesis effect of the stent.ResultsThe drug loaded in the stent could release continuously for about 4 weeks.The concentrations of Mg2+ in the rat plasma,urine and stools were within normal range.Immunohistochemical and quantitative analysis showed that the effect of Mg-PLGA-rhbFGF stent on angiogenesis of rat limb ischemia was better than that of the control group.ConclusionRhbFGF loaded MgPLGA stent could promote angiogenesis of rat limb ischemia,and it may provide theoretical basis for the critical patients suffered from lower limb ischemic disease.

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 tooth whitening effect of boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) as a photosensitive drug combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the influence on the surface of the enamel.Methods After oxidation of hydrogen peroxide or BODIPY by photodynamic therapy,the extracted teeth were evaluated by Vita shade guides matching.The change of surface enamel on the crystals and microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Results The teeth treated with BODIPY by PDT were smooth and whitened with the remineralization of teeth surface in morphology.While the teeth treated with hydrogen peroxide were whitened obviously but the surface morphology of the teeth was demineralized seriously.Conclusion The results suggest that PDT is effective for teeth whitening and can promote the remineralization of teeth surface enamel with BODIPY as a photosensitive drug.PDT is expected to become a new method for tooth whitening.

Objective To explore photodynamic therapeutic efficiency and related mechanisms of a new porphyrin-typed photodynamic therapy (PDT) drug synthesized in our lab on HGC27 and MGC803 cells.Methods Two different kinds of gastric cancer cells, HGC27 and MGC803, were chosen as cell lines to evaluate the PDT efficiency of new porphyrin-typed PDT drug based upon four group experiments: control (no drug, no light) group, drug treated group (only drug, no light), light treated group (no drug, only light) and experiment group (with drug and light at the same time). Bleaching method was used to evaluate the photostability of new porphyrin-typed PDT drug upon repititive illumination. MTT assay was carried out to test the survival rate of tumor cells after PDT. Cofocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) was applied to observe subcellular localization of drug in HGC27 and MGC803 cells (mitochondria and lysosome). Results New porphyrin-typed PDT drug has good stability to light, no toxicity on HGC27 and MGC803 cells without light (P>0.05), while intense lethal effect was observed upon light illumination (P<0.05). The peak efficacy appeared when concentration is 3.12 μmol/L for both HGC27 and MGC803 cells and the new porphyrin-typed PDT drug localizes in lysosome other than traditional mitochondrion. Conclusion New porphyrin-typed PDT drug is a good photodynamic therapeutic sensitizer for HGC27 and MGC803 tumor cells.
