OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Xingnaojing Injection combined with minimally invasive percutaneous drainage on brain edema and content of serum aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in patients with moderate hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage, and discuss the treatment mechanism of Xingnaojing injection combined with minimally invasive percutaneous drainage for cerebral hemorrhage.

METHODForty-two patients with moderate (25-50 mL) hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage (< 24 h) were selected and randomly divided into two groups: the observation group (n = 22) and the control group (n = 20). The neurological severity score were evaluated by the NIHSS (national institutes of health stroke scale), the volume of brain edemas were measured by head CT, the serum levels of AQP4 were determined by ELISA method on admission and 1 and 2 weeks after treatment.

RESULTOn admission, there was no significant difference in the scores of NIHSS, the volume of brain edemas and the level of serum AQP4 between the observation group and the control group. At the end of the first week after the treatment, the score of NIHSS of the observation group were lower than that of the control group, with significant different (P < 0.05); the observation group showed reduced volume of brain edemas than that on admission (P < 0.05), whereas the control group the control group showed increased volume of brain edemas than that on admission; the control group displayed increased level of serum AQP4 than that on admission, but without significant difference; the observation group displayed decreased level of serum AQP4 than that on admission (P < 0.05). At the end of the second week after the treatment, the control group showed decreased score of NIHSS than that on admission and at the end of the first week after treatment (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group showed a much lower score of NIHSS (P < 0.01), the control group displayed reduced volume of brain edemas than that on admission and at the end of the first week after treatment, but the observation group was even lower than the control group. Both of observation and control groups displayed significantly reduced level of AQP4 (P < 0.05), but the observation group showed a lower AQP4 level than that of the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe therapy of Xingnaojing injection combined with minimally invasive percutaneous drainage could remarkably reduce brain edema, and promote neural functional recovery, thus could be selected as a therapeutic regimen for patients with moderate hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND:Bone morphogenetic protein 9 is proved to promote the osteogenic differentiation of various kinds of stem cel s, but whether it can induce the osteogenic differentiation of dental fol icle cel s in vitro is yet unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether bone morphogenetic protein 9 can induce the osteogenic differentiation of rat dental fol icle cel s in vitro. METHODS:Purified rat dental fol icle cel s at passage 3 were transfected with bone morphogenetic protein 9 adenovirus. Then, alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium deposition and expression of osteogenesis-related factors at mRNA and protein levels were detected in the dental fol icle cel s. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After transfection with bone morphogenetic protein 9, the dental fol icle cel s showed continuously enhanced alkaline phosphatase activities and obviously enhanced calcium deposition. Real-time PCR results demonstrated that the mRNA expressions of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin and core binding factor were increased significantly. The western blot assay showed that the expression of osteopontin enhanced in the dental fol icle cel s after transfection with bone morphogenetic protein 9. In summary, bone morphogenetic protein 9 can induce the osteogenic differentiation of dental fol icle cel s.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that osteoclast differentiation factor is closely related to osteoclast differentiation, formation and function in bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of three kinds of orthodontic appliances on the expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of rat periodontal tissue during remodeling process and to explore the biocompatibility of the orthodontic appliances with the host tissues during orthodontic treatment. METHODS:Eighty healthy Wistar rats were selected to establish animal models of orthodontic tooth movement, and then randomly divided into four groups: control group, MBT group, Begg group, Damon Ⅲ appliance group. Four animal from each group were sacrificed at 3, 7, 14 days after wearing orthodontic appliances. The tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining was used to count the osteoclasts at the pressure side of alveolar bone tissue; real-time quantitative PCR detection to detect mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of periodontal tissue and time distribution characteristics. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the number of positive osteoclasts and mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of the alveolar bone tissue were increased with orthodontic time, reached the peaked at 7 days and then gradualy decreased. The number of positive osteoclastsand mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of the alveolar bone tissue were significantly higher in the Damon Ⅲ group than the other three groups at 7 days after orthodontic treatment (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that, during the bone remodeling, the number of positive osteoclasts changed in accordance with the mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor, and at 7 days, the number of positive osteoclasts and mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor were highest in the Damon Ⅲ group.
