Objective To investigate the effects of transplantation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) on axonal myelination after spinal cord injury in a rat model. Methods A rat model of spinal cord injury at the tenth thoracic vertebral level (T10) was produced by Allen weight-drop impact method. OPCs implantation was performed at the subacute stage of spinal cord injury. Effects of OPCs transplantation on axonal myelination after spinal cord injury were evaluated by HE staining, immunohistochemistry, myelin staining and transmission electron microscopy. Results The implanted cells were still observed in lesioned segments of spinal cord eight weeks after transplantation. The results of HE staining clearly showed better structure of spinal cord in OPCs-transplanted group than that of control group.Myelin staining also demonstrated that the amount of myelin in white matter of lesioned cord in the OPCs-transplanted group (7 802.42 ± 1085.58) was higher than that of the control group (5 055.98 ± 916.74)(P ＜0.01 ). Expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) was significantly increased in the OPCs-trans-planted group (8 544.44 ±812.78) as compared with that of the control group (5 243.83 ±808.27)(P＜0.01). Moreover, transmission electron microscopy further confirmed the improvement of micro-structure of myelination in OPCs-treated rats. Conclusion OPCs transplantation can improve axonal myelination in rat with spinal cord injury.

Both groups received intramuscular injection of mecobalamine (0.5 mg/d, three times a week). At the same time, the treatment group received external bath of modifiedHuangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction. All the courses of treatment lasted for 14 days. Clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed.Results The total effective rate of treatment group was 73.3% (22/30), which was superior to that of 40.0% (12/30) in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05), without any adverse reaction.Conclusion External bath of modifiedHuangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction is effective as supportive care for alleviating chronic peripheral neurotoxicity induced by oxaliplatin.

Objective To investigate the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT for differentiating multiple myeloma from bone metastases with undetermined origin.Methods A retrospective study was performed on patients with multiple bone destructions and without extraosseous primary malignant tumor in 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging.A total of 26 patients (12 males,average age 55.4 years) with multiple myeloma and 20 patients (9 males,average age 50.2 years) with multiple bone metastases confirmed by biopsy or histopathology from January 2011 to December 2013 were included into this study.The characteristics of 18F-FDG PET/CT and urine Bence-Jones protein were used to establish the diagnostic criteria.Myeloma was diagnosed if two or more of the following conditions could be satisfied:more than 10 bone lesions,osteolytic or mixed bone destruction,SUVmax＜4.0,and positive urine Bence-Jones protein.Two-sample t test and x2 test were used.Results The average number of bone lesions in multiple myeloma patients was 15.8,which was more than that (7.8) in patients with bone metastases.About 71.8％ (296/412) of bone lesions in multiple myeloma and 28.8％ (45/156) of bone metastases were osteolytic.The percentage of osteolytic lesions was significantly higher in multiple myeloma (x2=87.2,P＜0.05).The SUVmax of bone lesions of multiple myeloma and bone metastases were 3.81 ±2.17 and 5.82± 3.44 (t =8.29,P＜0.05) respectively.According to the diagnostic criteria,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT for the differentiation of myeloma from bone metastases were 88.5％ (23/26),85.0％ (17/20) and 87.0％ (40/46).Its diagnostic efficiency was higher than urine Bence-Jones protein (sensitivity:65.4％ (17/26);x2=3.90) and original 18 F-FDG PET/CT evaluation (specificity:10/18,accuracy:64.1％ (25/39);x2 =3.99,6.12) respectively (all P＜0.05).Conclusion Combining the evaluation of structural properties and metabolism on 18F-FDG PET/CT with urine Bence-Jones protein level may provide additional value for the differentiation of multiple myeloma from bone metastases with undetermined origin.

Objective To summarize the clinical characters,diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyoidism (PHPT).Methods The diagnosis,treatment and efficacy of 35 cases of PHPT were retrospectively reviewed.Results PHPT presented a variety of clinical manifestations,and occoured to different age groups without significant gender differences.All the 35 cases had elevated blood calcium and PTH.All patients underwent preoperative ultrasonography and 99Tcm-MIB imaging,and the positive rates were 68.6％ and 97.1％ respectively.34 patients received surgical treatment,among whom 30 cases had parathyroid adenoma,1 case had parathyroid hyperplasia and 3 cases had parathyroid carcinoma.Through operation,31 cases were cured,2 cases improved,and 1 case of parathyroid carcinoma suffered from lung metastasls.Conclusions PHPT can be diagnosed according to co-elevated serum calcium and PTH.Ultrasonography combined with 99Tcm-MIB imaging should be recommend for preoperative localization.The main cause of PHPT is solitary parathyroid adenoma.PTPT can be cured by surgery.Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy with accurate location is an efficient surgical strategy,and the prognosis is favorable.

Aim To evaluate the efficacy of TFU as a precursor of 5-FU on the growth inhibition of human gastric carcinoma cell lines SGC-7901 and MKN-45.Methods In vitro experiments,cell growth inhibition was measured by MTT assay.The rates were compared in the presence and Absence of liver microsomal enzymes.The morphology of apoptotic cells was detected by observation with a fluorescence microscope after staining by using adridine orange/ethidium bromide solution.DNA fragmentation was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry respectively.Western blot was employed to analyze the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax.The in vivo efficacy of TFU was assessed in nude mice bearing tumours.The specimens were re-moved and the in situ cell apoptosis detection kit was employed for TUNEL staining.Results Growth of SGC-7901 and MKN-45 cells was remarkably suppressed by treatment with TFU in the presence of liver microsomal enzymes in vitro,suggesting that TFU might be converted to 5-FU by the enzymes.Similar treatment of TFU induced apoptosis of the cells,which was deduced from typical apoptotic features such as morphology,the formation of characteristic ladder pattern of DNA migration and the accumulation of sub-G1 phase.Furthermore,a significant inhibition of Bcl-2 expression and the up-regulation of Bax were observed after treatment with TFU in the presence of liver microsomal enzymes.Growth of human gastric carcinoma cells was significantly delayed by oral administration of TFU with low side effects.Apoptosis in xenografts was also observed by means of TUNEL staining method.Conclusion Treatment of TFU in the presence of liver microsomal enzymes could promote the inhibition of gastric carcinoma cell proliferation.TFU might sustain release of 5-FU mediated by liver microsomal enzymes.Low dose of 5-FU might trigger the carcinoma cells apoptosis via regulation of Bax and Bcl-2.

Objective To observe the role of resting metabolic rate (RMR) in evaluation of animal model of glucocorticoid-induced Kidney Yin deficiency and Kidney Yang deficiency syndrome.Methods Male BALB/c mice were divided into control group,model group,Jinkuishenqi pill group,and Zhibaidihuang pill group.The later 3 groups were given drinking water containing corticosterone (first dissolved in 1% ethanol,with a final concentration of corticosterone 100 μg/mL).The control group was given drinking water containing 1% ethanol.RMR was measured by closed fluid pressure respirometer.At the end of the experiment,the mice were sacrificed to detect the weight index of perirenal fat,epididymal fat,quadriceps,and tibialis anterior muscle.ELISA assay was used to detect the level of serum hormones.Histological changes of the liver and kidney were examined by HE staining.Malondialdehyde (MDA) content,succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity,cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity and ATP level were measured.Results Compared with the control group,the RMR of model group was significantly increased at the 2nd day of beginning of the experiment,reached the highest on the 4th day (P<0.01),then decreased gradually,and to the 66th day,the RMR was significantly reduced (P<0.05).Use of corticosterone resulted in decrease of the serum levels of thyroxine (T4),muscle mass index,SDH activity,COX activity and ATP level,while increase of fat mass index and MDA level.The two Kidney nourishing prescriptions reduced animal mortality,and reduced the content of MDA in liver tissue.But only Jinkuishenqi pill increased the RMR at the 4th and 66th days (P<0.05),and significantly improved the liver SDH activity,COX activity and ATP level (P<0.01).The Zhibaidihuang pill showed no such effects.Conclusions RMR can be used for evaluation of animal model of Kidney Yin or Kidney Yang deficiency induced by glucocorticoids.
