Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was injected unilaterally or bilaterally into the cerebellum of 11 rabbits in order to trace the distribution of labeled neurons in the whole length of the spinal cord. To investigate the ascending side of the axons, hemisections were made unilaterally in the lower thoracic cord of 4 rabbits before injection. The distribution of labeled spinocerebellar tract neurons was rather wide. Neurons in the cervical segments were located in (1) the central cervical nucleus (CCN) in Q_(1-4), (2) the medial part of lamina VI in C_2-T_1, (3) the central part of lamina VII in C_(4-8) and (4) lamina IV-V in C_(5-8). The labeled neurons located in segments caudal to thoracic cord could be divided into two groups. Neurons of the uncrossed tract were located in (1) Clarke's column in T_2-L_4, (2) laminae IV-VI in T_2-L_6. Neurons of the crossed tract were found in (1) the spinal border cells (SBC)in L_(3-6), (2) the medial part of the lamina VII in segments caudal to L_6, (3) lamina V in the sacrococcygeal cord and (4) laminae VII-VIII in the sacrococcygeal cord. The present study suggests that the location and fiber course of the spinocerebellar neurons in the rabbit are quite the same as those in the cat. These results should form a basis for further anatomical and physiological studies of spinocerebellar system in the rabbit.

Objective To investigate the effect of Xuebijing injection on inflammatory factors in patients with Stanford B aortic dissection (AD) after endovascular repair and approach its clinical significance.Methods Sixty patients with Stanford type B AD for endovascular repair admitted to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from January 2014 to June 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into a Xuebijing group and a control group according to the random number table method, 30 cases in each group. The patients of Xuebijing group received 100 mL Xuebijing injection+ 50 mL normal saline intravenous drip during operation, while the patients of control group received an equal volume of normal saline, 2 times a day in both groups for consecutive 3 days. Peripheral venous blood was collected before and after treatment for 1, 2, and 3 days, and the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the prognosis of the two groups was observed.Results With the prolongation of time, the postoperative levels of CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 in the two groups showed a tendency of first increase and then decrease compared with the preoperative levels, the above indexes of the two groups were all significantly higher, CRP (mg/L) and TNF-α (ng/L) peaked on the 2nd day postoperatively (control group: CRP was 146.34±13.92 and TNF-α was 72.22±7.63, Xuebijing group: CRP was 114.92±9.89 and TNF-α was 53.44±6.80, allP < 0.05), however, IL-6 (ng/L) peaked on the 1st day postoperatively (control group: 146.08±10.29, Xuebijing group: 117.88±8.84), then decreased, all reached the valley on the 3rd day postoperatively (control group: CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 was 112.59±8.54, 43.73±4.10, 70.03±4.66 respectively, Xuebijing group CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 was 87.75±7.67, 39.43±4.63, 56.65±3.27, respectively), and at the same time point, the level of CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 in the Xuebijing group were significant lower than those in the control group, the change were the most significant on 3 days after operation [CRP (mg/L): 87.75±7.67 vs. 112.59±8.54, TNF-α (ng/L): 39.43±4.63 vs. 43.73±4.10, IL-6 (ng/L): 56.65±3.27 vs. 70.03±4.66, P < 0.05]. There were no serious complications such as renal failure, severe hypoxemia, infection, paraplegia, stent shift and so on, no hospital death occurred and all patients were discharged in rehabilitative condition. Conclusions Endovascular repair in patients with Stanford type BAD may activate an inflammatory response inducing the release of a large amount of inflammatory factors during the early postoperative period, Xuebijing injection can inhibit the inflammatory reaction and prevent the occurrence of postoperative complications.

Objective We investigated the expression profile of cancer related genes in hMSCs co-cultured with U251 glioma cells, to evaluate the risk of malignant transformation of hMSCs in glioma environment. Methods hMSCs were co-cultured with U251 glioma cells for 5 days and the expression profile of cancer-related genes were investigated by using microarray assay, followed by Real-time quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Results Of the 440 cancer-re?lated genes covered by Oligo GEArray Human Cancer Microarray OHS-802, SPINT2, TK1, STC1, MMP1, CCND1, SORT1, SEPT6, CDC20, SHB, CDK5, RELA, XRCC4, KIT, CTPS, CAPNS1 and ETV6 were significantly upregulated (>3-fold) whereas none was downregulated in hMSCs co-cultured with U251 glioma cells. The upregulation of oncogenes KIT, CAPNS1, TK1, MMP1, CCND1, CDC20, RELA and STC1 in co-cultured hMSCs were confirmed by Real-time quan? titative RT-PCR. The upregulation of protein expression of oncogenes KIT, MMP1, CCND1 and RELA were detected by Western blot. Conclusion The present study demonstrates that co-culture of hMSCs with human glioma cells leads to up?regulation of some important oncogenes in hMSCs, indicating the tumorigenic potential of hMSCs in glioma environment.

BACKGROUND:The emergence of a large number of hidden blood loss during perioperative period of intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly not only increases the risk of perioperative period and complications, but also affects the postoperative recovery of joint function. At present, there is no relevant report about nutritional status and the hidden blood loss before surgery in and outside China.
OBJECTIVE:To identify the effect of nutritional status on preoperative hidden blood loss in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture.
METHODS:183 elderly patients with fresh and initial femoral intertrochanteric fracture were included. Laboratory serological examinations on admission and preoperation were completed. By mini nutritional assessment, patients were randomly divided into normal-nourishment group, malnourishment at risk group, and malnourishment group. The original blood volume and preoperative hidden blood loss were calculated depending on height, weight, hematocrit on admission and preoperation. According to the proportion of mean preoperative hidden blood loss on the original blood volume, patients were divided into low and high hidden blood loss groups. We compared preoperative hidden blood loss, and their proportion on the original blood volume and the preoperative incidence of high hidden blood loss, and analyzed the correlations between preoperative high hidden blood loss and preoperative nutritional status.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The nutritional status of elderly intertrochanteric fracture patients measured by mini nutritional assessment score was that the number of patients was 48 cases (26%) in normal-nourishment group, 64 cases (35%) in the malnourishment at risk group, and 71 cases (39%) in the malnourishment group. There were no obvious differences in the preoperative complications between any two groups (P>0.05). (2) Thirty-eight cases affected high hidden blood loss. The mean preoperative hidden blood loss was 260.43 mL. The proportion of preoperative hidden blood loss to the original blood volume was 6%. (3) The preoperative hidden blood loss, their proportion on the original blood volume and the incidence of high hidden blood loss were significantly higher in the malnourishment at risk group and malnourishment group than in the normal-nourishment group. Paired comparison showed significant differences (P<0.05). (4) Results confirmed that preoperative hidden blood loss, their proportion on the original blood volume and the incidence of high hidden blood loss gradual y increased with deterioration of nutritional status. The nutritional status is an important factor influencing the occurrence of preoperative hidden blood loss, and can be used as an important index for judging the high hidden blood loss and prognosis in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture.

We have designed and carried out problem based learning (PBL) pedagogy since 2004. According to clinical eases, students learnt the pathophysiology of heart failure knowledge by themselves. Each group recommen-ded one student to make an oral presentation and wrote a review about heart failure. Preparing clinical cases and group discussions are very important. At the same time we should pay attention to the change in role of the teacher in PBL and cooperation with other disciplines.

This study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effect of anti-inflammatory tripeptide KdPT on ophthalmoxerosis. Male BALB/c mice, 8-week old, were treated with 0.2% benzalkonium chloride solution to establish the ophthalmoxerosis model. Four weeks after modeling, the mice were randomly divided into control group, positive group and the low, medium, high dose groups of KdPT. Each group was given normal saline, artificial tears and 1, 10, 100 μg/mL KdPT, respectively. After 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days of treatment, the morphology of the eye surface was observed, and the fluorescein sodium staining score was performed. The amount of tear secretion was measured by phenol red cotton thread and the right corneas were taken out for histopathological analysis after 14 days of treatment. Data showed that there was no significant abnormality in general state and the weight of mice in each group at each time point of treatment. After 14 days of treatment, KdPT can promote the secretion of tear, repair the damaged corneal epithelium, and showed a significant therapeutic effect on ophthalmoxerosis in mice. Based on the data, it is possible for KdPT to be developed as a novel drug for ophthalmoxerosis.
