Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(19):-
BACKGROUND: The denervated skeletal muscle is chiefly characteristic as the loss of neurotrophic factor, which may cause the muscle atrophy degeneration and fibrosis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect on the muscle satellite cells and muscle atrophy by the implantation of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) released through silicon tube in the gastrocnemius. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomly control animal experiment was finished at the Animal Experiment Laboratory of Shenyang Medical College Fengtian Hospital in November 2006. MATERIALS: Twenty-eight Wistar healthy male rats (weighing 250-300 g) were adopted. Silicon tube was prepared by the encapsulation with bFGF or physiological saline, and sealed with 502 glue. METHODS: The sciatic nerve of left lower limb was cut off, and then gastrocnemius was taken out. All of 28 Wistar rats were divided into experiment group and control group randomly, each group involved 14 rats. The experimental gastrocnemius was encapsulated with silicon tube containing bFGF, while the control group with physiological saline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At day 30 postoperatively, the following indicators were evaluated: wet weight of gastrocnemius and wave amplitude of muscle fibrillation potential; proliferating cell nuclear antigen positive nuclei on surface of muscle fibers, diameter and section area of gastrocnemius fiber under light microscope; ultrastructure of gastrocnemius under electron microscope. RESULTS: The number of muscle satellite cell nuclei in the experimental group was more than that in the control group (P

BACKGROUND:Knowledge of retropedtoneal space communications might influence catheter placement,and understanding the normal anatomy of the retroperitoneal space is a prerequisite for predicting the distribution of inflammation or other fluid collections in this region. Until recent years,the media/ attachment of the posterior renal fascia remained controversial. The multiple detector spiral CT can show the abdominal anatomic details. So,using the multiple-detector spiral CT to study the anatomy of posterior renal fascia has clinical significance. OBJECTIVE:To describe the medial attachment of the posterior renal fascia by using multiple-detector spiral CT. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A retrospective case analysis was performed at Department of Radiology,Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical College between June 2003 and November 2007. PARTICIPANTS:A total of 52 patients with retropedtoneal inflammatory diseases were retrospectively reviewed through analysis of their CT data. METHODS:Toshiba Akuilion 16-detector spiral CT was employed for scanning. Of the 52 patients,15 were proved by clinical and laboratory findings and 37 were proved by surgery and pathology. Among the 52 patients,17 suffered from appendicitis,1 from ureteritis,2 from abscesses in the perirenal space,3 from abscesses in the posterior pararenal space,and 29 from pancreatltis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Medial attachment of the bilateral posterior renal fascia. RESULTS:At the level of the upper pole of kidney,the posterior renal fascia fused with the fascia of the ipsilateral quadratus lumborum muscle. Forty-six patients manifested the attachment site of the left posterior renal fascia transforming from the quadratus lumborum muscle fasciae to the psoas major muscle fascia at the level of the lower pole of kidney or the infrarenal space. Fifty patients showed the attachment site of the right posterior renal fascia transforming from the quadratus lumborum muscle fascia to the psoas major muscle fascia at the level of the lower pole of kidney or the infrarenal space. CONCLUSION:The posterior renal fascia attachment site is not the same all the time. At different levels,the attachment site of the posterior renal fascia is distinct.

Recombinant expression vector pcDNA3-MCPCD59DP containing human membrane complement regulatory proteins(hCRPs) MCP and CD59 cDNA was constructed successfully by using two independent promoters.After transfected into NIH3T3 cells with calcium phosphate-DNA precipitate method,NIH3T3 pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP transfectants were obtained by G418 selection.Extraneous genes integration was identified by PCR.The co-expression of human CD59 and MCP at both mRNA and protein levels was confirmed by using RT-PCR and Western blot analysis.Human MCP and CD59 cDNA were integrated in NIH3T3 pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP genomic DNA after continuous 30 times passages,indicating that NIH3T3 pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP were stable cell lines.Human complement-mediated cytolysis assays showed that NIH3T3 cells transfected stably with pcDNA3-CD59,pcDNA3-MCP,and pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP were protected from C-mediated damage and co-expressed human MCP and CD59 provided more excellent protection against C-mediated attack as compared with either CD59 or MCP expressed alone.The dicistronic vector represents an effective and efficacy strategy to overcome C-mediated damage and has potential therapeutic value for effectively controlling complement activation and finally for preventing hyperacute rejection in clinical gene therapy.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of vena cava connection in patients with asplenia syndrome diagnosed by ultrasound. Methods From October 2009 to February 2014, 49 patients with asplenia syndrome diagnosed in Fuwai Hospital by ultrasound were included in this study. The characteristics and percentage of varied types of anomalous connection of vena cava and pulmonary vena were analyzed. Results Thirty patients (61.2%) had bilateral superior vena cavies. In these cases, right vena cava was drainage into right atrium (or the right side of the single atrium), while left superior vena cava into left atrium (or the left side of the single atrium). For hepatic vein, drainage into inferior vena cava were found in 25 patients (53.2%), into left atrium (or the left single of the single atrium) in 1 patient (2.1%), into right atrium (or the right side of the single atrium) in 3 patients (6.3%), into both right and left atrium in 5 patients (10.2%) and into the middle of the single atrium in 1 patient (2.1%). For inferior vena cava, drainage into left atrium (or left side of the single atrium) were found in18 patients (36.2%), into right atrium (or right side of the single atrium) in 24 patients (51.1%) and into the middle of the single atrium in 1patient (2%). Total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage occurred in 20 patients (40.2%) and partially anomalous pulmonary venous drainage in 8 patients (16.3%). Conclusion Asplenia syndrome is frequently accompanied with anomalous vena cava and pulmonary venous drainage.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the treatment of patients with solitary kidney stones.
METHODS:
The clinical data of 22 patients with solitary kidney stones treated with PCNL in Peking University People's Hospital from September 2008 to June 2014, with the follow-up data of more than 5 years were analyzed retrospectively. Perioperative indicators, postoperative stone free rate (SFR) and incidence of complications were recorded. Ultrasonography was used to evaluate the long-term stones recurrence rate. Serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were used to assess the long-term renal function.
RESULTS:
In this group of 22 patients, the average age was (50.3±11.8) years, with 10 cases of anatomic solitary kidneys, 12 functional solitary kidneys, and the median stone diameter was 1.65 (1.1-3.9) cm. All the patients had multiple stones, including 7 cases of staghorn stones. The median pre-operative serum creatinine was 104.5 (60.0-460.0) μmol/L, and the mean eGFR was (60.3±29.4) mL/min, showing no statistically significant difference compared with that before surgery. The mean operative time was (88.2±42.0) min, and there were 11 cases of single-channel and double-channel PCNL. The median serum creatinine on the first day after surgery was 102.0 (63.0-364.0) μmol/L, and the mean eGFR was (58.0±25.1) mL/min. The mean postoperative hospital stay was (8.7±5.2) days. In this group, 5 patients (22.7%) presented short-term complications, among which 4 patients presented postoperative infection and massive hemorrhage at the same time, which improved after conservative treatment, and 1 patient presented pleural injury and improved after closed thoracic drainage. Two patients (9.1%) developed long-term complications, and ureteral stricture occurred 3 months after operation, which improved after balloon dilatation. The median follow-up time was 6.2 (4.7-11.1) years. The median serum creatinine at the last follow-up was 104.0 (72.4-377.0) μmol/L, and the mean eGFR was (60.1±23.7) mL/min, showing no statistically significant difference compared with that before surgery. Renal function decreased in 6 patients (27.3%). Initial and final SFR were 72.7% and 100%, respectively. During the 6.2-year follow-up, 9 patients (40.9%) experienced recurrence of kidney stone. After stone recurrence, 13 lithotomy surgeries were performed, and the SFR by the latest follow-up was 63.6%.
CONCLUSION
This study had the longest follow-up time for patients with solitary kidney stones after PCNL reported at home and abroad. Ultrasound-guided standard PCNL was safe and effective in the treatment of solitary kidney stones. Long-term follow-up results showed that the recurrence rate of kidney stones was still high, but the long-term renal function was stable after operation, and some patients showed mild renal function decline.

Objective To evaluate effects of chronic arsenic exposure and arsenic exposure time on oxidative DNA lesions in humans. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 108 subjects exposed to high concentrations of arsenic in drinking water and 75 control subjects. A cohort study was conducted in 64 subjects exposed to high levels of arsenic in drinking water for 7 or 9 years. Urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydredeoxygnanine(8-OHdG) levels were analyzed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit(ELISA). Urinary arsenic concentration was detected with hydride generation atomic absorption spectroscopy. Results In the cross-sectional study, the median of urinary arsenic concentration was 484.17 mg/kg Cr for the arsenic-exposed group, and 13.80 mg/kg Cr for the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=32.57, P<0.01). The median of urinary 8-OHdG levels was 16.60 and 21.88 mg/kg Cr for arsenic-exposed children and adults respectively, much higher than control children(10.50 mg/kg Cr) and adults (9.11 mg/kg Cr), and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.049, 6913, all P<0.01). Urinary 8-OHdG levels were signifieandy lower for children than adults in the exposed group(t=-1.997, P<0.05). In the cohort study, the median of urinary arsenic concentration was 461.3 mg/kg Cr for the 7-year-exposed subjects and 422.90 mg/kg Cr for the 9-year-expesed subjects, and no significant difference was observed(t=-0.250, P 0.05). The median of urinary 8- OHdG levels for 9-year-exposed children and adults were 23.46 and 24.30 mg/kg Cr respectively, significantly increased compared with those of 7-year-exposed(14.29 and 18.38 mg/kg Cr), and the difference had statical signhqcanees (t= -2.949,-3.055, all P<0.01). Conclusions Chronic arsenic exposure can lead to oxidative DNA lesions in humans. The arsenic-induced DNA lesions may aggravate with the exposure time in a certain period.
