Objective To observe the hemodynamic variations of both the mother and fetus when the pregnancy was complicated with early-onset of severe preeclampsia, and to evaluate the role of monitoring the blood flow with Doppler in the management and prognostic value in the same condition. Methods A prospective case-control study was conducted in 36 pregnant women admitted for early-onset of severe preeclampsia (S-PE). The control group included 72 healthy pregnant women matched with the S-PE group. All had color Doppler sonography monitored during this study period. Data were collected for the umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI) and systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D) , the middle cerebral artery (MCA) PI and S/D and the maternal mean uterine artery (UtA) PI and S/D. Those subjects with adverse perinatal outcomes were followed up after birth. Results The mean Doppler indices(S/D and PI) of fetal UA, MCA and maternal UtA were all declined gradually with the advancing gestational ages in both groups. The values of UA-S/D, UA-PI, UtA-S/D, and UtA-PI in the early-onset S-PE group were significantly higher than those of the control(P

Objective To evaluate the influence of autophagy on pain behavioristics and astrocytic activation in rats with inflammatory pain.Methods Seventy-eight clean male Sprague-Dawley (SD) adult rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group (n = 12), model group (n = 42), autophagy inducer rapamycin (Rap) pretreatment group (n = 12) and autophagy inhibitor 3 methyladenine (3-MA) pretreatment group (n = 12). The inflammatory pain rat model was reproduced by subcutaneous injection of freund's complete adjuvant (CFA) 100μL at foot sole, whilein control group, the same volume 0.9% normal saline 100μL was injected at the same site. One hour before modeling, Rap 10 mg/kg and 3-MA 15 mg/kg were intraperitoneally injected in rats in Rap and 3-MA pretreatment groups respectively, and the same volume of 0.9% normal saline was injected intraperitoneally in rats of control and model groups. Before modeling and 6, 12, 24 hours and 3 days after modeling, the L4-L6 spinal cord tissue was harvested from 6 rats in model group, and autophagy protein membrane microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ (LC3 Ⅱ) and autophagy related gene Beclin-1 expressions were detected by Western Blot in the tissue; the changes of pain behavioral indexes mechanical withdraw threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL,n = 6), were observed at6, 12, 24 hours and 3 days, 7 days after modeling in the 6 rats taken from each group; in another 6 rats in each group, 24 hours after modeling, L4-L6 spinal cord tissue was collected, immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the changes of astrocytes and the positive expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) under a confocal microscopy, and the protein expression quantity of GFAP was detected by Western Blot in the tissue.Results ① The inflammatory pain could induce the increase of rat autophagy protein LC3Ⅱ and Beclin-1 expressions in spinal cord tissue, reaching their peaks at 24 hours (A value: 0.59±0.07, 0.51±0.06, respectively), and then they were gradually decreased. ② With the prolongation of time, in the model group MWT was gradually decreased, TWL was gradually shortened, they reached their valley values at 24 hours after modeling [MWT (g): 17.8±1.9, TWL (s): 6.8±0.4], and from 12 hours they were significantly decreased compared with those in control group [12hours MWT (g): 21.5±2.4 vs. 43.4±5.1, TWL (s): 12.0±1.1 vs. 17.6±1.2, bothP < 0.05], after modeling for 3 days they were increased; Compared with model group, 12 hours after autophagy inducer Rap was given, MWT was significantly increased (g: 36.8±4.9 vs. 21.5±2.4,P < 0.05), TWL was significantly prolonged (s: 14.3±1.1 vs. 12.0±1.1,P < 0.05); from 12 hours after autophagy inhibitor 3-MA was given, MWT was further reduced (g: 18.6±1.9 vs. 21.5±2.4, P<0.05), TWL was further shortened (s: 8.4±0.6 vs. 12.0±1.1,P < 0.05). ③ Confocal microscopic findings showed, there was no significant acstrocytic change, and only litter GFAP expression was seen in control group. In model group, the inflammatory pain induced astrocyte activation, manifesting glial cell hypertrophy, hyperplasia, gelatinousnetwork deformation, and GFAP expression was obviously increased compared with that in the control group (A value: 0.54±0.09 vs. 0.16±0.02,P < 0.05). Since autophagy inducer Rap can decrease astrocyte activation and inhibit GFAP expression, there was statistical significant difference between Rap pretreatment and model groups (A value: 0.33±0.06 vs.0.54±0.09,P < 0.05); autophagy inhibitor 3-MA can further aggravate astrocytes activation and up-regulate GFAP expression in 3-MA pretreatment group (A value: 0.73±0.08 vs. 0.54±0.09,P < 0.05).Conclusion Autophagy participates in the process of astrocytic activation and pain behavioristics in rats with inflammatory pain.

AIM: To explore the expressions and significance of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin and epidermal growth factor homology domains-2 (Tie-2) receptors in a rat model of acute lung injury (ALI). METHODS: Wistar rats (n=42) were divided into control group (n=12) and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group (n=30). Control group underwent sham operation, and CLP group underwent cecal ligation and puncture to make the model of ALI. 12 h after sham operation or CLP, 6 rats in each group were killed, and arterial blood gas analysis and lung coefficient were tested. The expressions of Ang-2 and Tie-2 receptors in lung tissue were observed by immunohistochemical method. Blood samples of the rest rats were collected from vena caudalis, and Ang-2 levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mortality rate in each group within 36 h was compared. The lung architecture was observed under microscope. RESULTS: The lung architecture in control group was clear and intact. Alveolar septum was thicker, blood capillary was congested, and neutrophils and macrophages were infiltrated in the lung tissue in CLP group. Tie-2 receptors were expressed in bronchial epithelial cells, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells in control group. Besides the similar expression as control group, high expression of Tie-2 on neutrophils and macrophages in CLP group was observed. In the adhesion location of Tie-2 receptors positive inflammatory cells, there was stronger staining in endothelial cells. Ang-2 was expressed in smooth muscle cells, bronchial epithelial cells and endothelial cells in control group. The Ang-2 level in CLP group were higher than that in control group [(8.14±1.74) μg/L vs (4.63±0.49) μg/L, P<0.01], and the Ang-2 level of dead rats was higher than that of survival rats within 36 h in CLP group [(8.95±1.61)μg/L vs (6.80±0.96)μg/L, P<0.01]. Oxygen partial pressure in control group was lower (P<0.01) and lung coefficient was higher (P<0.01) than that in CLP group. CONCLUSION: Ang-2 and Tie-2 receptors may participate in the pathophysiology of ALI, and Ang-2 level is correlated with mortality.

BACKGROUND:Xenogeneic bone structure and biological characteristics are similar to human bone tissue, and the xenogeneic bone has a decreased antigenicity after physicochemical treatment, with a natural porous structure and rich source, and can be kept for a long time, which is considered to be an effective way to solve the shortage of the autogenous bone and al ograft bone.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the physical and chemical properties of xenogenic bone materials prepared by two different methods.
METHODS:Sheep cancellous bone treated with chemical method was placed into the muffle furnace at 1 000 ℃for 2 hours to prepare calcined bone. Another cancellous bone was placed into an 80 ℃ refrigerator for 4 weeks and then placed into a vacuum instrument to prepare freeze-dried bone. Cancellous bone rinsed with ultra-pure water served as controls.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Three groups of samples retained three-dimensional porous structure which similar with human bone tissue under microscopic observation. The framework was stil intact, with a smal pore of 55-650μm and high porosity of 65%-80%. For the calcined bone, the toughness was decreased and the brittleness increased significantly, but the freeze-dried bone had a little changes in the mechanical properties. Through diffraction analysis, hydroxyapatite was the main composition of the three groups. However, there was a smal amount ofβ-tricalcium phosphate in the calcined bone. Spectrum analysis confirmed that calcium and phosphorus content in these three groups were al close to the human body. The results suggest the cancellous bone treated with these two methods is similar to human bone structure, and the major elements are close to the body. In addition, the cancellous bone after processing has enough smal pore and higher porosity. However, calcination process has a more influence on the mechanical property of scaffold materials, and the freeze-dried bone has a little change but the antigen cannot be completely removed that can reach the basic requirements.

BACKGROUND:Many in vivo and in vitro experiments indicate that implantation of exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor can significantly promote the process of bone formation, but the in vivo degradation of exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor affects the therapeutic efficacy.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor-transfected mesenchymal stem cells which transfected using molecular biology techniques combined with al ogeneic bone in the repair of critical-size bone defects in sheep.
METHODS:Al ogeneic bone with basic fibroblast growth factor-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with al ogeneic bone material stents, al ograft bone material,β-tricalcium calcium material were respectively implanted into critical-size bone defects in sheep. After 4, 8 and 12 weeks, histological and immunohistochemical staining was performed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 12 weeks after implantation of al ogeneic bone with basic fibroblast growth factor-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as tissue engineering bone, there were many cartilage-like structures in the operative binding region and a large amount of osteoblast-like cells in the center of operative region, and there was more material degradation in the entire operative area as compared with other groups;there were fibrous connective tissues ful of the pores, and osteoclast-like cells were commonly seen around the implant material;bone sialoprotein and col agen type Ⅰ expression were strongly positive. In the other three groups, although the cartilage-like structure appeared in the binding region, dead bone structure was found in the central area, and bone sialoprotein and type Ⅰ col agen expression was weak. These findings indicate that al ogeneic bone with basic fibroblast growth factor-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can basical y repair critical-size bone defects in sheep.

Objective To investigate the practical efficacy and safety of ultrasound with microbubbles mediated rAAV2-EGFP to retina of rat after intravitreal and subretinal injection. Methods Gene transfer was examined by rAAV2-EGFP intravitreal and subretinal injection into the Wistar rats with or without microbubbles. The eyes were exposed to US (1 MHz,2 W/cm2, duration 5 minutes,duty cycle 50%,pulse recurrent frequency 100 Hz). The onset of EGFP gene expression, lightness of fluorescence, area of fluorescence and its distribution in the fundus in vivo via fluorescence stereosocope were investigated on the 4th,7th, 35th,49th and 120th day respectively. The value of gene transfer was quantified through the EGFP fluorescence quantitative methods by Axiovision 3. 1 software. HE staining was used to observe tissue damage. Results There was no fluorescence observed by fluorescence stereosocope after intravitreal injection after two-month study. After subretinal injection, ultrasound-targeted microbubbles destruction (UTMD) strongly increased gene transfer efficiency. UTMD used in the experiment did no harm to the rat retina structure. Conclusions UTMD could not enhance rAAV2-EGFP transfecion efficiency to rat retina after intravitreal injection but the transduction could be enhanced significantly after subretinal injection.
