Objective To investigate the effect of placenta derived tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and myostatin (MSIN) in patients with preeclampsia (PE) and fetal development.Methods One hundred and twenty pregnant women who delivery from October 2008 to October 2013 were enrolled in this study.In them,40 healthy pregnant women was normal control group,40 PE and fetal growth in normal pregnant women was PE group,40 PE and fetal growth restriction (FGR) of pregnant women was PE + FGR group.The immunohistochemical localization of SABC method was used to detect for TNF-α and MSIN protein in placenta tissue in each group respectively.Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blotting were used to detect for TNF-α and MSIN mRNA and protein in placenta tissue.Results The TNF-α mainly located in placental blood vessels surrounding stroma,decidual cells,trophoblastic cells and MSIN mainly located in placental blood vessels surrounding stroma,decidual cells and terminal villi.The TNF-α and MSIN mRNA expression quantity in PE group was 3.65 ±0.86,1.80 ±0.32 ; in PE + FGR group was 3.88 ± 0.71,2.01 ± 0.55 ; in normal control group was 1.32 ± 0.21,0.77 ± 0.39.The TNF-α and MSIN mRNA expression quantity in PE group and PE + FGR group were significantly higher than those in normal control group(P ＜ 0.01),and there were significant differences between PE group and PE + FGR group(P ＜ 0.05).The TNF-α and MSIN protein expression in normal control group was 0.56 ±0.13,1.31 ± 0.23;in PE group was 1.67 ±0.25,1.55 ±0.34 ;in PE + FGR group was 2.78 ±0.41,3.07 ±0.51.The TNF-α and MSIN protein expression in PE group and PE + FGR group were significantly higher than those in normal control group(P ＜ 0.01),and there were significant differences between PE group and PE + FGR group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The placenta derived TNF-α and MSIN have more important roles in the pathogenesis of PE and normal development of fetal.It can provide coping strategies by detecting the level of placenta derived TNF-α and MSIN.

Objective To evaluate the effects of isoflurane anesthesia on the cognitive function and expression of translocator protein 18 kDa ( TSPO) in the brain tissues of aged rats. Methods Twelve pathogen?free male Sprage?Dawley rats, aged 20 months, weighing 500-550 g, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) and isoflurane anesthesia group ( group I) . The rats inhaled 2% isoflurane in 100% O2 for 4 h in group I, or 100% O2 for 4 h in group C. The rats underwent Morris water maze test at 24 h after anethesia. The escape latency and frequency of crossing the original platform were recorded. Then the rats were sacrificed, and the hippocampus and cerebral cortex were isolated for determination of the expression of TSPO and Iba1 by Western blot and quantitative real?time reverse transcriptase?polymerase chain reaction. Results Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased, and the expression of TSPO and Iba1 protein and mRNA in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex was up?regulated in group I ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion Isoflurane anesthesia results in decreased cognitive function through up?regulating the expression of TSPO in the brain tissues of aged rats.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of the simple syringomyelia patients with syringopleural shunt (SPS) and syringosubarachnoid shunt (SSS).Methods Twenty-eight patients with syringomyelia were selected as our subjects.Of which,18 patients were operated with SPS and 10 cases were with SSS.The therapy effect was compared between groups.Results All patients were checked with MRI 3 months after the operations and showed that syrinx cavity was significantly narrow of all patients.At early stage (48 h) after surgery 9 cases in SPS and 4 cases in SSS were showed the decrease syrinx cavity.Among patients with SPS,15 cases (83.3％) had the symptoms and signs improved,1 case (5.5％) withno changes,1 case (5.5％) with worse effect,and 1 cases(5.5％) occurred the tethered spinal cord.Meanwhile,among,patients with SSS,8 cases(80.0％) had the symptoms and signs improved,1 case(10.0％) with no changes,and 1 case (10.0％) with worse effect.There were 4 patients with pneumothorax in SPS group after operations,and the lung compression ratios were less than 5％.These cases were not taken any special treatment for the pneumothorax.All patients in two groups had not been infected and pleural effusions.No cases had taken the tube plugging.Conclusion The simple syringomyelia patients with the spine injury should take the cavity shunt.The SPS has some advantages because it can provide the partly negative pressure.But it should be certified by more cases and a long-time follow up.

BACKGROUND: Degenerated cervical intervertebral discs can release many kinds of cytokines and inflammatory mediums, which plays an important role in onset and development of cervical syndrome.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of anti-cytokine Chinese herb combined with western drug (anti-hyperosteogeny capsule combined with glucosamine hydrochloride capsule) and gene therapy, on the contents of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) of degenerated cervical intervertebral discs in rabbits.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics and Central Laboratory of Hebei People's Hospital.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Central Laboratory of Hebei People's Hospital from March 2003 to January 2004. A total of 35 New Zealand rabbits of both genders were selected and divided into 7groups according to randomly digital table: normal control group, shallowlayer model group, whole-layer model group, shallow-layer medicine group,whole-layer medicine group, shallow-layer gene group and whole-layer gene group. There were 5 rabbits in each group.METHODS: Except normal control group, rabbits in other 6 groups were used to establish models of dynamic dysequilibrium of cervical vertebra through cutting muscles of cervical back to induce degeneration of cervical intervertebral discs. Superficial group of muscle in cervical region was resected in shallow-layer groups, and both superficial and deep group of muscle was resected in whole-layer groups. ① Seven months after operation, rabbits in medicine groups were respectively treated with 1.1 g/kg anti-hyperosteogeny capsule (consisting of gouji, gusuibu, jixueteng, laifuzi,niuxi, nvzhenzi, roucongrong, shudihuang and yinyanghuo, etc.; Jiangsu Kangyuan Pharmaceutical Company Limited) and 0.06 g/kg glucosamine (Shanxi Zhongyuanwei Pharmaceutical Company Limited), which was dissolved into 20 mL distilled water. The medicine was administrated twice a day for 1 month. ② After anesthetization of rabbits in gene groups, recombinant plasmid DNA combined with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) was injected to C2-3, C3-4 and C4-5 intervertebral disc (20μL per intervetebral disk). Eight months after modeling, rabbits in each group were sacrificed and C3-4 and C4-5 intervertebral disc was used as samples. In addition, contents of IL-1β and TNF-α were measured with double-antibodies-sandwich-ELISA method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Contents of IL-1β and TNF-α in cervical intervertebral discs of rabbits at 8 months after modeling.RESULTS: All 35 rabbits were involved in the final analysis. Eight months after modeling, for contents of IL-1β and TNF-α, shallow-layer model group was higher than normal control group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01); shallow-layer medicine group and shallow-layer gene group were obviously low er than shallow-layer model group (P ＜ 0.05); whole-layer medicine group and whole-layer gene group were lower than whole-layer model group (P＜ 0.05-0.01).CONCLUSION: The degenerated intervertebral discs can release many kinds of cytokine and inflammatory mediators which can enhance the degeneration of cervical intervertebral discs. Antihyperosteogeny capsule combined with glucosamine hydrochloride capsule and gene therapy can obviously reduce the contents of IL-1β and TNF-o in degenerated cervical intervertebral discs.

Objective To investigate the existence of pulmonary vascular remodeling after left pneumonectomy in rats and the role of hypoxia inducible factor-lα( HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in pulmonary vascular remodeling.Methods Twenty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups, 12 in each group.The rat models of pulmonary vascular remodeling were created by open-chest left pneumonectomy.After 12 weeks of feeding, the mean pulmonary artery pressure ( mPAP) and partial pressure of arterial oxygen ( PaO2 ) of each rat were measured.The ultrastructure of small arteries in the lung specimens were examined by e-lectron microscopy.Muscularized degree of three kinds of small pulmonary vessels ( muscularized artery MA, partially mus-cularized artery PMA, and non-muscularized artery NMA) were observed by light microscopy, and the percentage of each kind of pulmonary arteries ( MA%, PMA%, NMA%) were calculated.Arterial external diameter, media thickness of ves-sel ( MTV) , total vascular area, media area of vessel ( MAV) , MTV%and MAV%were calculated as indicators of pul-monary vascular remodeling.The expressions of HIF-1αand VEGF in artery were detected by immunohistochemistry.Re-sults The values of mPAP, MA%, PMA%, MTV, MAV, MTV% and MAV% in the experimental group were signifi-cantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01), but the value of PaO2 and NMA%were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01).The IOD value of HIF-1αand VEGF expressed in the pulmonary arterial wall of the experimental group were 26.47 ±4.16 and 42.04 ±3.79, respectively, significantly higher than those in the control group (6.12 ±2.14 and 11.53 ±2.29, P<0.01).Linear correlation analysis showed that the expression of HIF-1αand VEGF was positively correlated with MTV% and MAV%, negatively correlated with PaO2 , and the HIF-1αexpression was posi-tively correlated with VEGF expression.Conclusions A rat model of pulmonary vascular remodeling can be successfully established by left pneumonectomy.Hypoxia is a key factor in the development of pulmonary vascular remodeling, HIF-1αand VEGF may play an important role in its pathogenesis.

Objective To assay the early quality of life and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and relating influential factors in patients with severe blunt chest trauma (sBCT).Methods Demographic and clinical data of sBCT patients treated between January 2011 and December 2011 were collected.Early quality of life and PTSD symptom level at posttraumatic months 1,3,and 6 were analyzed by using short form 36 health survey (SF-36) and impact of event scale-revised (IES-R) respectively.Furthermore,logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors associated with quality of life of the patients.Results A total of 107 patients were included in the study.Ultimately,83 patients were available to the 6-month follow-up.A low score for SF-36 remained at posttraumatic 6 months and one-third of the 83 patients sustained mild or severe PTSD symptoms.Major influential factors to posttraumatic quality of life included age,ISS ≥ 20,combined craniocerebral injury,combined spinal and pelvic injuries,posttraumatic complications,and PTSD.Conclusions Early quality of life in sBCT patients is poor.Therefore,the early intervention with identification of specific risk factors is contributive to better quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the application of three dimensional time-of-flight (3D-TOF) MRA in screening intracranial aneurysms in the population of Wenling community. Methods A total of 2 124 patients with suspicious intracranial aneurysm in Wenling community, who received 3D-TOF MRA and three dimensional digital subtraction angiography(3D-DSA) during the period from September 2011 to August 2012, were enrolled in this study. The epidemic data of intracranial aneurysm in Wenling community were analyzed, the effectiveness of 3D-TOF MRA in detecting intracranial aneurysm was assessed, and the consistency between 3D-TOF MRA and 3D-DSA (regarded as the golden standard) in detecting intracranial aneurysm was statistically analyzed. Results The results of 3D-TOF MRA showed that the morbidity of intracranial aneurysm in the population of Wenling community was 6.87% (146/2 124), among which the morbidities in males and females were 48.63% (n=71) and 51.37% (n=75) respectively; the mean age of patients was (41.2±11.6) years old. The accompanying diseases included hypertension, diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis and cerebrovascular lesions. 3D-TOF MRA examination revealed 149 intracranial aneurysms, among which misdiagnosis was made in 5 patients and missed diagnosis in 2 patients. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 3D-TOF MRA in diagnosing intracranial aneurysm were 98.63% (144/146), 99.72%(1 773/1 778) and 99.67%(2 117/2 124) respectively. No statistically significant difference in measuring the longitudinal diameter and neck width of intracranial aneurysms existed between 3D-TOF MRA and 3D-DSA examinations (P>0.05). Conclusion In detecting intracranial aneurysm, 3D-TOF MRA carries higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, and its non-invasive advantage is more suitable for the screening of intracranial aneurysms.
