Objective To explore the mechanism and way for CT10 regulator of kinase like (CRKL) involving in drug resistance in leukemia cells. Methods The four major proteins included Ras protein, signal transducer and activator of transcripton 5 (STAT5) protein, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) protein and paxillin protein in leukemia which involved in signal transduction pathway of CRKL. The expressions of those proteins were detected by Western-blot and immunofluorescent staining and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Results Compared with K562/S cells, the expressions of Ras(41.52±15.47 vs. 23.74±8.67) and PI3K (35.60±12.48 vs. 10.09±0.005) protein were up-regulated in K562/ADM cells (t=3.01,6.13;both P<0.05), while there were no significant changes in the expressions of paxillin (20.10±11.89 vs. 23.11±12.40) and STAT5 protein (25.72±14.46 vs. 17.58±9.21) between K562/S cells and K562/ADM cells(t=0. 18,1.43;both P>0. 0S). Conclusions Ras and PI3K protein may play a role in the multidrug resistance of K562 cell line, while paxillin and STAT5 protein may be not involved in the formation of resistant in K562 cells.

Objective The tissue engineering technique and the microsurgery technology is combined to construct the uncellular tissue engineering complex with vascularization and membrane guided dual effect. Through comparing study of using the simple biomembrane guided bone regeneration technique to construct the uncellular tissue engineering complex to repair the large segment bone defect in the animal body,the bone reparative effect of the tissue engineering bone wrapped by pedical fascial flap with vessels and that wrapped by the simple biomembrane was compared, thus to provide experimental evidence for the clinical application. Methods Twenty-four Newzland 5-month-old rabbits were used to build the bilateral periosteumincluded bone defect modelsin the middle piece of the ulna and the length of the defect was 1 cm. Autologous red bone marrow was implanted in the tissue engineering bone which was prepared by osteoinductive absorbing material including BMP. The prepared tissue engineering bone was implanted in the bone defect area. The right side was wrapped by the simple absorbable biomembrane, whereas the left side was wrapped by pedical fascial flap with blood supply. At the fourth, eighth, twelfth and sixteenth week after the operation each group was examined by the radiograph (x-ray), the light density measurement, gross morphology and histological inspection,bone shape measurement analysis in the repairing area and the biomechanics measurement at the twelfth week. The data was analyzed to test the difference of the bond defect repair. Results The radiograph, gross morphology and histological inspection showed the growth of vessels in the implant area, the quantity and the forming speed of the bone trabecula and, the cartilaginous tissue, the formation of the mature bone structure,remodeling of the diaphysis, recanalization of the cavum ossis and the absorption and the degradation of the implant of the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply was superior to that of the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane. At the fourth, eighth, twelfth and sixteenth week after the operation the bone trabecula area were( 20. 35 ± 2. 41 ) %, ( 40. 21 ± 1.97 ) %, (66. 67 ± 3.44 ) % and ( 86. 47 ± 3.99) % respectively in the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply, and were ( 7. 46 ± 2.64 ) %, ( 20. 66 ± 2. 28 ) % , ( 40. 22 ±1.84)% and(58. 18 ± 1.79) respectively in the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane. At the same time point after the operation the light density were 0. 636 ± 0. 012,0. 596 ± 0. 062,0. 552 ± 0. 009 and 0. 451 ±0. 008 respectively in the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply, and 0. 742 ± 0. 032,0. 713 ± 0. 022,0. 655 ±0. 018 and 0. 606 ±0. 015 respectively in the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane. The units of blood vessel reproductive area in the bone repair junctional zone were ( 18.75 ± 2. 09 ) %, ( 37.41 ± 3.22 ) %,(53. 06 ±2. 18)% and (36.72 ±4. 73)% respectively in the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply,and (5. 34 ± 1.17 ) %, (9. 48 ± 2.96) %, ( 22.43 ± 2. 21 ) % and ( 26. 27 ± 3. 14 ) % respectively in the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane. The biomechanics intension was 26.62 ± 3.96 in the group of pedical fascial flap with blood supply and 18. 38 ±0. 71 in the group of the simple absorbable biomembrane at the twelfth week after the operation. All of the differences were significant( P ＜0. 05 ). Conclusion The pedical fascial flap with blood supply has significant effect in promoting the tissue engineering bone to vascularize and promoting the bone formation by vascularization. The membrane guided bone regeneration technique restricted not only the growth of the fibrous connective tissue in the reparative process of the large segment bone defect effectively, but also the ability of fast and effective vascularization, thus the chronic creep and substitution process would be needed. Simple application of the biomembrane can compensate the shortcoming of chronic creep of the implanted material by the growth of the external callus.

BACKGROUND:Studies have suggested that interleukin-6 is crucial for inducing cel apoptosis after acute spinal cord injury. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s to treat acute spinal cord injury in rats. METHODS:Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group (spinal cord injury group), treatment group 1 (interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody transplantation group), treatment group 2 (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation group), treatment group 3 (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel+interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody group), with six rats in each group. In the sham group, the spinal cord was only exposed with no injury, and in the other four groups, rat models of acute spinal cord injury were made using modified Al en’s method. Local injection treatment was performed in al the groups at 28 days after modeling. Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB) scoring and improved Tarlov scoring were used at 1 day before treatment and 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 days after treatment to test the hindlimb function. At 28 days after treatment, TUNEL method was used to detect cel apoptosis in the spinal cord. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the sham group, BBB scores and improved Tarlov scores were decreased significantly in the other four groups (P<0.05). At 7 days after treatment, the BBB scores and improved Tarlov scores in the treatment group 3 were significantly higher than those in the model group (P<0.05). At 14 days after treatment, the BBB scores and improved Tarlov scores in the treatment groups 1 and 2 were significantly higher than those in the model group (P<0.05);compared with the treatment group 2, the BBB score and improved Tarlov score were significantly increased in the treatment group 3 (P<0.05). Compared with the sham group, the number of apoptotic cel s was significantly increased in the other four groups (P<0.05);compared with the model group, the number of apoptotic cel s was significantly decreased in the three treatment groups (P<0.05);compared with the treatment group 2, the number of apoptotic cel s was significantly lower in the treatment group 3 (P<0.05). These findings indicate that the combined use of interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation is better than bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation alone in the treatment of spinal cord injury, and interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody reduces cel apoptosis in spinal cord injury, which is of positive significance for preventing against acute spinal cord injury.

Results Compared with control group , the tumor cells proliferation and the new angiogenesis in HSYA group were suppressed .The expression of MMP-3 in HSYA group was significant reduced .Especially the dose of 2.25 mg/kg HSYA group ( P<0.01 ) , and tumor MVD-CD34 was also significantly reduced ( P<0.01 ) .But the effect is not better than sorafenib group .Conclusions HSYA may inhibit angiogenesis of tumor tissue in a certain concentration range and the anti-angiogenesis effect of HSYA may be related to inhibition of the protein expression of matrix met-alloproteinase-3 .

BACKGROUND: Combined use of multiple interventions for different targets play superimposed or synergistic effects,which has become the current idea for spinal cord injury treatment.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the synergistic effects of low doses of 17-β estradiol combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on the recovery of motor function and inflammatory reactions after spinal cord injury in rats.METHODS: The 10 of 70 male Sprague-Dawley rats served as sham group in which the spinal cord was only exposed but with no treatment, and the rest 60 rats were used to make animal models of spinal cord injury using modified Allen's method and then randomized into four groups (n=15 per group): model, estrogen, stem cell and combined treatment groups. Rats in the stem cell and combined treatment groups were given BMSCs transplantation at injured side; rats in the estrogen and combined treatment groups were given intramuscular injection of 17-β estradiol at 1 and 24 hours after modeling. At 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after modeling, rat functional recovery was evaluated by the Basso, Beatlie, Bresnahan score. The expressions of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α in the injured spinal cord were detected by ELISA at 6, 12, 24, and 72 hours after modeling. Apoptosis in nerve cells was observed using TUNEL staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The Basso, Beatlie, Bresnahan scores were declined significantly after modeling,increased at 5 and 7 days after stem cell transplantation, estrogen treatment or their combined treatment (P < 0.05),especially in the combined treatment group (P < 0.05). The levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were elevated gradually after spinal cord injury (P < 0.05), but the levels decreased significantly at 12 and 24 hours in stem cell,estrogen and combined treatment groups (P < 0.05), and this decrease trend was more significant in the combined treatment group compared with the stem cell and estrogen groups (P < 0.05). At 72 hours after modeling, the rate of TUNEL positive cells was highest in the model group (P < 0.05) and lowest in the combined treatment group (P < 0.05).To conclude, the combined use of low doses of 17-β estradiol and BMSCs transplantation can facilitate the recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury by effectively inhibiting apoptosis in nerve cells.

Objective To study the effect of fascial flap with vessels inducing the vascularization of uncel-lular tissue engingeering complex and the regenration of bone on the repair of bone defect, so as to provide the basis for the clinical application. Methods An animal model of bone defect on adult Newzland rabbits'right radial bone was established .and autologous red bone marrow were taken out and mixed into uncellulax tissue engineering comple-xes with OAM which contained BMP. The experiment animals were divided into two groups : experiment group and control group( n = 12 for each ). The control group was only implanted with complexes, meanwhile, the experiment group had fascial flap with vessels. By microsurgery technology,a non-named fascial flap with vessels was prepared, which belonged to capillary net,around the bone defect,and let it wrap tissue engineering complex,fill up bone de-fect. In a certian time, radiograph(X-ray) and light density measure was conducted, gross morphology and histological inspection was exmained. Bone shape measurement analysis and image of vessel analysis were conducted. All the sta-tistics were analyzed by the SPSS 11.5 software. Results Because of mechanically preventing fiber connective tis-sues and surrounding soft tissues from entering the areas of bone defect by fascial flap, it can keep bone defect having a relative stable environment ;The subfascial space itself, and also the shape and mass of filled-in subject had the de-cisive effect on the results of the regeneration of the bone; Owing to the establishment of blood supply during the con-structing tissue engineering complex. The experiment group was obviously superior to the control group. Compared with control group,the absor bance obviously increased in experiment group [(0. 732 ± 0. 021 ) vs (0. 651± 0.018)] (P < 0. 001 ) four weeks after the operation; also the bone trabecular body was significantly increased [(2.32±2.57)% vs(19.37±3.52)% ,(8.37±3.52)% vs(30.24±3.42)% ,(28.57±2.98)% vs(58.76± 4.62)% ,(47.24±3.42)% vs(88.72±5.84)%] ,and capillary area [(5.04±1.62)% vs(17.53±2.86)%, (10.37 ±2.96)% vs(35.24±1. 13)%,(18.20±2. 12)% vs(48.76±4. 62)%,(17.82 ±2. 74)% vs (57.72 ±5.84)%] (P <0.05) at each time period(4 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks,and 16 weeks after operation). Despite of growth of implant's internal vessel, the number and speed of forming bone trabecula and cartilaginous tis-sue, even developing of mature bone structure, recreating of diaphysis structure, reconstructing of marrow cavity, ab-sorbing and decomposing of implant, the experiment group was obviously superior to the control group. Conclusions The induction of fascial flap with vessels shows double effects, one of which is the vascularization of uncellular tis-sue engineering complex and the other is membrane guided bone regeneration, So the method has a wonderful effect on the repair of bone defect.

Objective To evaluate the neurotoxic effects of intrathecal (IT) different concentrations of ethanesulfonic acid ropivacaine on spinal cord in rats. Methods Sixty healthy Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 210-220 g in which IT catheters were successfully placed according to Yaksh et al. were randomly divided into 5 groups (n= 12 each). The animals received 0.9% NaCl solution 0.4 ml (group C); 0.224%, 0.447%,0.671%, 0.894% ethanesulfonic acid ropivacaine 0.4 ml (group R1-4 ). The onset time and duration of the block were recorded. The animals were killed on 7th day after IT administration. The L4,5 segment of the spinal cord were removed for neuropathologic examination with electron microscope. The spinal cord injury was scored.Neurotoxicity was defined as the spinal cord injury score ≥ 2 and the spinal neurotoxicity was recorded. Results Onset time was shorter and duration of the block was prolonged with increasing concentrations of ethanesulfonic acid ropivacaine. The incidence of the spinal neurotoxicity was 0, 0, 17%, 42% and 100% in group C, R1, R2, R3 and R4 respectively. The incidence of the spinal neurotoxicity was gradually increased with increasing concentrations of ethanesulfonic acid ropivacaine. Conclusion IT ethanesulfonic acid ropivacaine can produce neurotoxicity to the spinal cord and it depends on the concentration.
