BACKGROUND:The establishment of animal models of Parkinson’s disease plays an important role in clinical and basic experiments of Parkinson’s disease, and its stability directly affected study results. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the behavior and pathological changes of rats with Parkinson’s disease established by unilateral two-point injection with 6-hydroxydopamine.
METHODS:A total of 62 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into experimental group (n=50) and normal group (n=12). Using stereotatic technique, 6-hydroxydopamine was injected into the right substantia nigra
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 weeks, after induction with apomorphine, left rotation speed>7 r/min was observed in only 22 rats of the experimental group. No significant difference in the number of rotation between 2 and 4 weeks was detected (P>0.05). Tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine content significantly reduced in the model group. Results indicated that unilateral two-point injection of 6-hydroxydopamine could be used to
successful y establish rat models of Parkinson’s disease with similar behaviors and pathologies.

In view of the clinical graduate students' problems existing in the teaching of evidence-based medicine, such as having little knowledge of the course, lack of interest, not knowing how to retrieve, evaluate evidence and effectively use evidence, Xinjiang Medical University has car-ried on the reform in the curriculum content, teaching process, evaluation content and method of the teaching of EBM for the clinical graduate students. Practice shows that the clinical graduate students have significant improvement in objective examination average score, subjective examination average grades, total score and the students' satisfaction of the classroom teaching, and at the same time their interest in EBM courses and clinical thinking have also improved.

Objective To investigate the expression of helper T cells (Th)17/regulatory T cells (Treg) balance associated factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and their correlation with serum midkine (MK).Methods A total of 60 RA patients were divided into active RA patients (n=32) and inactive RA patients group (n=28).MK level in sera was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 60 patients with RA and 30 healthy controls (HCs).The fraction of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Treg cells and IL-17+CD4+ Th17 cells in RA patients and healthy controls were determined by flow cytometry (FCM), and the expreasion of Foxp3, RORγt, Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3 and STAT5 mRNA were detected with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results were evaluated using ANOVA followed by q tests for comparisons of Th17 population between active RA patients, inactive RA patients and HCs, t test was used for comparing of Foxp3, RORγt, STAT3, STAT5 mRNA between RA group and HCs.The correlations between serum MK concentration and peripheral Treg cells, Th17 cells, Foxp3, RORγt, STAT3, STAT5 mRNA were analyzed by Pearson's correlation analysis.Results The percentages of Treg cells from active RA patients, inactive RA patients and HCs were significantly different (F=129.6, P＜0.01), the percentages of Treg cells of active RA patients [(1.41±1.05)％] were lower than that of the inactive RA patients [(3.6±1.6)％;q =7.92, P＜0.05] and healthy group [(7.7±1.7)％;q=22.45, P＜0.05], and there was significant difference between healthy group and inactive RA group (q=14.53, P＜0.05).The percentages of Th17 cells of the three groups were also significantly different (F=36.3, P＜0.01),the percentage of Th17 cells of active RA patients [(1.84±1.01)％] was significantly higher than that of inactive RA patients [(0.71±0.28)％;q=9.59, P＜0.05] and healthy group (0.53±0.16)％ [(P＜0.05;q=1 1.10, P＜0.05], there was no significant difference between the inactive RA group and healthy group (q=1.51, P＞0.05).The expression of RORγt and STAT3 mRNA in RA patients was higher than that of healthy controls (t=5.84, P＜0.01;t=4.52, P＜0.01).The expression of Foxp3 and STAT5 mRNA in RA patients were lower than healthy controls (t=6.01, P＜0.01;t=2.18, P＜0.05).Serum MK values were correlated with STAT5 (r=-0.55, P＜0.01), but not with Foxp3, RORγt, STAT3 mRNA or the percentage of Treg/Th17 cells.Conclusion Serum MK expression and the percentage of Th17 cells increase, while the percentage of Treg cells decrease in RA patients.Serum MK values are negatively correlated with STAT5 mRNA which is associated with Th17/Treg balance.This may be important in the pathogenesis of RA.

Objective To investigate the expression of serum sHLA-G in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and the association with the disease activity.Methods The serum concentration of sHLA-G in SLE patients and healthy controls was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Significant higher sHLA-G levels were detected in patients of SLE than control group (P＜0.01),The serum concentrations of sHLA-G in active SLE patients were markedly higher than stable SLE patients (P＜0.01).The expression level of sHLA-G showed positive correlations with SLE activity index (SLEDAI)(r=0.30,P=0.01).There was no correlation between sHLA-G levels and serum concentration of Anti-dsDNA,C3,C4 and Anti-ANA in SLE patients (P＞0.05).Conclusion The level of serum sHLA-G is significantly increased in SLE patients.Positive correlations are observed between sHLA-G levels and SLEDAI.These data indicated that sHLA-G may play certain roles in the pathogenesis and progress in SLE.

Objective To investigate the relation between the apotosis of B cells in the peripheral blood (PB) and the expression of interleukin (IL)-17 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The proportions of apoptosis of B cells in the PB of 80 patients with RA and 80 healthy controls were measured by flow cytometry.B cells in the PB of 20 RA and 20 healthy individuals were isolated by MACS and Western blotting was used to detect the Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 protein levels.IL-17 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).T-test and linear regression were used to analyze the data.Results The proportions of apoptosis of B cells in the PB of patients with RA and healthy controls were (14±6)％ and (24±9)％ respectively.The rate of apoptosis of B cells in patients with RA was significantly less than healthy controls (t=2.737,P=0.021).The Bcl-2 protein level of B cells in the PB of patients with RA group was significantly higher than that of control group (26±10,12±6,P＜0.01).Conversely,the Caspase-3 protein level of B cells in the PB of patients with RA group was significantly lower than that of the control group (16±7,31±12,P＜0.01).ELISA detected elevated level of serum IL-17 in the patients with RA as compared with controls [(69±19),(27±10) pg/ml,t=4.631,P=0.014].There was a negative correlation between the level of IL-17 and apoptosis of B cells in patients with RA (r=0.36,P＜0.01).Conclusion The elevated bcl-2 and reduced caspase-3 of B cells in patients with RA further proves there is abnormal apoptosis of B cells in RA patients.There is negative correlation between the expression of IL-17 and apoptosis of B cells in patients with RA and IL-17 can inhibit B cell apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:Transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can promote repair of brain injuries in animals. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress in intranasal delivery of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to the brain. METHODS:A computer-based online retrieval of PubMed and Wanfang databases was performed to search papers published during January 1999 to January 2014 with the key words of“bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, brain injury, transplantation”in English and Chinese. Thirty-eight papers were included in the final analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nowadays, many studies have been certified that the transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can significantly ameliorate the function of cranial nerve in animal models of brain injury. Many researchers have searched for the transplantation methods and approaches and have made progresses in many aspects. In this article, we compare the different transplantation ways of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to the brain. We focus on the intranasal transplantation route in the fol owing aspects:processing of the nasal mucosa;delivery route to the brain;labeling and intracranial observation of stem cells;animal experiments. We conclude that the intranasal delivery of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to the brain has a wide clinical application as a noninvasive transplantation.
