BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that pulsed electromagnetism has a good effect in promoting peripheral nerve regeneration after cerebral infarction and spinal cord injury, and improving memory function in patients with neurological disorders. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of pulsed magnetic field on brain function and endogenous neural stem cell factor in the brain tissue of rats with brain injury. METHODS: Totally 320 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into model group, pulsed magnetic field 0.1 mT group, pulsed magnetic field 0.3 mT group and pulsed magnetic field 0.5 mT group (n=80 per group). After brain injury models were established using lateral hydraulic strike method, rats in the latter three groups were exposed to pulsed magnetic fields 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 mT, respectively. After electromagnetic radiation 1, 3, 7, 14 days, the motor function of rats was evaluated by beam-walking test and water maze test. Rats were intraperitoneally injected 5-deoxy-uridine (BrdU) at 1 day prior to different radiation time points, and BrdU and nestin expressions in the cerebral cortex were measured by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The time of water maze test and the beam-walking test at 1, 3 and 7 days after irradiation was ranked as follows: pulse magnetic field 0.5 mT < pulse magnetic field 0.3 mT < pulse magnetic field 0.1 mT < model group, and there were significant differences between groups (P < 0.05). (2) The expressions of BrdU and nestin at 1, 3 and 7 days after irradiation were highest in the pulse magnetic field 0.5 mT group, successively followed by pulse magnetic field 0.3 mT group, pulse magnetic field 0.1 mT group and model group (P < 0.05). In summary, the pulse magnetic field exhibits remarkable protective effects on the brain function of rats with craniocerebral injury in an intensity-dependent manner. The possible mechanism is related to the activation of neural stem cells and the proliferation of neural stem cells in the brain tissue of rats with craniocerebral injury.

Objective To systematic evaluation the therapeutic effects on patients with ABO-incompatibility liver transplantation (ILT),and compare the curative effect with ABO-compatible liver transplantation (CLT). Methods The literatures of comparison in clinical efficacy between ILT and CLT were collected at home and abroad by computer search in PubMed database,Embase database,Cochrane database,Medline database,Web of science database,CNKI,Wanfang database,VIP database,et al,and the quality of literatures were accessed. Meta analysis was carried out by fixed effect model and random effect model with RevMan5.3 software. Results A total of 18 papers were included. The results of Meta analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the survival rates of recipient between ILT group and CLT group at 1 ,3 and 5 years after operation (all P>0.05 ). Compared with CLT group,the survival rates of grafts were significantly decreased in ILT group at 1 ,3 and 5 years after operation,and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05 ). The incidences of postoperative biliary complication and acute rejection in ILT group were significantly higher than those in CLT group,the difference was statistically significant (both P<0.05 ). Conclusions Compared with CLT, the curative effect of ILT is weaker but still can be used as a new choice for critical condition of the recipient or waiting for the donor liver for a long time.
