Objective To investigate the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ type Ⅰ receptor antagonist losartan on the infarct size and ultrastructure of myocardium and activation of NF-?B induced by myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) and the possible underlying mechanism. Methods Forty-two healthy male SD rats weighing 215-285 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: in control group ( n = 6) the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery (LCA) was exposed but not occluded; in I/R group (n = 12) the anterior descending branch of LCA was occluded for 30 min followed by 60 min reperfusion; in group LOS1 ( n = 12) and group LOS2 ( n = 12) losartan 5 mg (LOS1) or 10 mg (LOS2) was injected i.v. 15 min before myocardial ischemia. At the end of 60 min reperfusion the animals were killed and the hearts were harvested for determination of (1) myocardial infarct size (by TTC) , (2) ultrastructure of myocardium (electron microscope) and (3) activation of NF-?B.Results The infarct size in group LOS1 (34.6%?2.2%) and LOS2 (21.8%?4.0%) was significantly smaller than that in I/R group (45.4%?2.4%). Myocardial ultrastructure was well preserved in group LOS1 and LOS2 as compared to I/R group. NF-?B activity was significantly increased in I/R group and losartan pretreatment significantly reduced the increase in NF-?B induced by I/R. Conclusion Angiotensin Ⅱ type Ⅰ receptor antagonist losartan has cardioprotective effect on myocardium against I/R in a dose-dependent manner. Modulation of NF-?B activated by I/R may be involved in the mechanism.

Objective To explore the role of apelin-13 in regulating stem cell differentiation into vascular net. Meth?ods Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from human umbilical Wharton’s jelly using tissue adherence method.Their immunophenotypes were detected by flow cytometry . Passage 3 of WJ-MSCs (Wharton’s jelly-mesenchymal stem cells) were inoculated in 4 flasks, denoted as A1, A2, A3, A4 group. TwentyμL of apelin-13 at concentrations of 0, 1×10-6, 10 × 10-6 and 100 ×10-6 mol/L were added to A1, A2, A3 and A4 respectively each day. After being induced for 7 days, cell mor?phology and viability were observed under inverted microscope. Von Willebrand factor (vWF) was examined by immunofluo?rescence and CD31 was identified by flow cytometry. Upon incubating with three dimensional culture medium of hydrogel, those cultured A1, A2, A3 and A4 were renumbered as S1, S2, S3, S4. Again, twentyμL of apelin-13 at concentrations of 0, 1×10-6, 10 ×10-6and 100 ×10-6 mol/L were used to treat S1, S2, S3 and S4 respectively. After 7 days, cell morphology, via?bility and vas-like networks were observed with inverted microscope. Results Our study showed that WJ-MSCs can be in?duced by apelin 13 to differentiate into endothelial cells lineage indicated by positive of vWF staining. Moreover, CD31 expres?sion increases significantly upon apelin-13 addition in a dosage dependent manner. The endothelial cells line formed vas like networks when cultured with three-dimensional medium containing hydrogel. Conclusion This study demonstrated that ape?lin-13 could promote human umbilical cord-MSCs to differentiate into endothelium lineage then to form vascular networks.

BACKGROUND: Chronic musculoskeletal pain can cause disability and decreased quality of life of patients. Probing into the therapeutic methods of musculoskeletal disease and choosing proper treatment drugs are important for patients.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of controlled-release tramadol in patients with moderate to severe chronic pain of musculoskeletal origin.DESIGN: A self-control study was conducted.SETTING: Arthrtosis Institute, People' s Hospital Affiliated to Peking University.PARTICIPANTS: Patients who were in the Orthopaedic Outpatient Service,People' s Hospital of Peking University were involved. This observational study was conducted in 40 adults who experienced moderate to moderately severe chronic musculoskeletal pain that was not controlled by routine nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAID) therapy.INTERVENTIONS: Any NSAIDs and other analgesics were prohibited. Patients initially took 50 mg of controlled-release tramadol (Tramcontin) every 12hours, supplemented by every 50 mg if insufficient pain relieved. Recommended daily maximum dose was 400 mg per day. The observation lasted for 4 weeks. The patients were asked for document therapy-relevant data every day and were interviewed every week to doctor assessment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pain intensity before and after treatment, pain remission degree, all side effects and their severity.RESULTS: All cases were finished the study and no one withdrew from follow-up. No eligible patients exited from the study because of therapeutic failure or intolerance. In comparison with the initial visual analogue scale (VAS) mean value 6. 80 ± 1.84, the average VAS value at the end of observation was 1.00 ± 1.46, which had significant difference( P < 0. 001) . An average pain reduction of (85. 50±5.35)%was obtained, among which 78% were absolutely and obviously lessened. Side effects were reported in 9cases (22%).Drowsiness and dizziness(6 cases) was the most common, followed by nausea (3 cases), vomiting (1 case), somnolence (2 cases), constipation and urinary retention (1 case) and blurred vision (1 case).CONCLUSION: Tramcontin, as slow-release tramadol, proved to be an effective, safe, and easy-to-use central acting analgesic has an important role in the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Light side effect and good tolerance has provided a new choice for treatment of chronic pain in the orthopaedic department.

BACKGROUND:Existing evidence has shown that xenogeneic bone derived graft materials have the ability to repair bone defects, but little report is on the comparison of composition of xenogeneic bone and human bone.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the chemical composition, mineral phase, calcium and phosphorus contents, total protein contents, and appearance of the cancel ous bones of the tibia from pig, bovine and human.
METHODS:Cancel ous bones of the tibia from pig, Banna miniature pig, bovine, young and old people were cut into bone particles of 0.5 cm×0.5 cm×0.5 cm. After degreasing or drying treatment, chemical composition, mineral phase, calcium and phosphorus contents, total protein contents of bone particles were detected using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, plasma emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Kjeldahl method, respectively. Nano Measurer 1.2 and Photoshop cs6 were used to measure pore diameter and porosity rate based on the results of scanning electron microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The main inorganic phase of five kinds of cancel ous bones was hydroxyapatite and the main chemical composition was phosphate and carbonate. The calcium content of the bovine cancel ous bonewas lower than that of the other cancel ous bones (P<0.05) and the phosphorus content of the cacel ous bone of young man was higher than that of the pig and bovine cancel ous bones (P<0.01). The total protein content in the cancel ous bones of normal pig and Banna miniature pig was higher than that in the other three kinds of cancel ous bones (P<0.05). The pore diameter of five kinds of cancel ous bones was 400 to 600μm and the porosity rate was 60%to 70%. Moreover, the porosity rate of the bovine cancel ous bone was the highest. Therefore, we conclude that there are some certain differences in the organic and inorganic components of the pig or bovine cancel ous bones as compared with humans.

Objective·To identify the relationship between the estimated fetal weight (EFW) discordance and birth weight (BW) discordance, and evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography in predicting birth weight discordance (△BW) of twin pregnancy. Methods·The ultrasound was used to detect the growth of twins at different gestational weeks and the data were analyzed to compare the difference between EFW discordance (△EFW) and ?BW. Results·About 15.9 percent of twins (totally 277 cases) had severe △BW (△BW ≥20%) in our study, and the percentages of dichorionic-diamniotic twin (DCDA) and monochorionic-diamniotic twin (MCDA) were 68.2% and 31.8%, respectively (P>0.01). Compared with △EFW in other gestational weeks,△EFW last time before parturition was most consistent of △BW. Furthermore, the negative predictive value of MCDA was highest (94%) at 22-24 gestational weeks. Conclusion·Twin △BW was relatively better predicted by △EFW last time before parturition. Twin pregnancy without severe △EFW (△EFW<20%), especially MCDA with △EFW<20% at 22-24 weeks, had low probability of selective intrauterine growth restriction in the future.
