AIM: To observe the effects of ?-MSH on the expression of CD14 and TLR4 mRNA in mou se peritoneal macrophages induced by LPS and explore the mechanisms of ?-MSH ag ainst LPS. METHODS: BALB/C mouse peritoneal macrophages were cultured in the presence of LPS or LPS plus ?-MSH, and the expressions of CD14 and TLR4 mRNA were detected with the m ethod of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: It was found that native murine macrophages o nly expressed a small amount of CD14 and TLR4 mRNA. Both CD14 and TLR4 mRNA expr ession to LPS in mouse macrophages increased significantly than those of contro l group at 6 h and maintained high level until 24 h when they reached to the pea k. Then the expression of CD14 mRNA backed to the normal gene expression baselin e, while TLR4 mRNA had excessive expression at 48 h. In presence of LPS and ?- MSH, the expression of CD14 and TLR4 mRNA decreased remarkably than those of L PS group (P0.05). Only when the dose s of ?-MSH attained to 1, 10 or 100 nmol/L,?-MSH could affect LPS-stimulated e xpression of CD14 and TLR4 mRNA (P0.05). CONCLUSION: These studies suggest that effects of ?-MSH against LPS are associated with its suppressing the critical receptor (CD14 and TLR4) expression of the LPS signal transduction and inhibiting the activation of macrophages.

Objective To investigate the acquaintance of secondary spinal cord injury (sSCI) of patients and medical workers. Methods 260 patients with sSCI, 145 nurses and 45 doctors were surveyed by questionnaire on the principle of convenience sampling. Results 20% patients knew about sSCI before injured, 41.5% patients took site protection; 90% nurses and 100% doctors knew about sSCI. Conclusion Related knowledge should be publicized to decrease the rate of sSCI and raise people' consciousness, and medical workers should be strengthened health education.

Objective To explore the effects of Sanban manipulation of spine on ankylosing spondylitis (AS) at the early-middle stage.Methods 60 AS patients at the early-middle stage were divided into drug group (n=30) and manipulation group (n=30). The drug group wastreated with sulfasalazine and the sustained-release pills of Zhengqingfengtongning, while the manipulation group were treated with Sanbanmanipulation of spine additionally. Self-developed questionnaire were used to follow up before and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment. ResultsThe Schober index and the finger-floor distance improved more in the manipulation group than in the drug group (P<0.05) 3 months aftertreatment. All the index improved more in the manipulation group than in the drug group (P<0.05) 6 months after treatment. ConclusionSanban manipulation of spine can improve the thoracolumbar activities in the AS patients at the early-middle stage.

ObjectiveTo make sure the factors of influencing supply and utilization rehabilitation service of hospitals in Beijing.MethodsFive grade A hospitals in different districts in Beijing were surveyed to realize the condition and factors of influencing supply and utilization of rehabilitation service in polyclinics in Beijing and make sure the developing situation of departments of rehabilitation medicine, and its restriction factors in their hospitals.ResultsThe departments of rehabilitation medicine in the five hospitals had not reached to requirement of administer criterion to comprehensive hospitals, issued by Ministry of Health. The factors of influencing supply and utilization of rehabilitation service in polyclinics in Beijing included: discordant cooperation between rehabilitation section and other sections in hospitals; leaders of hospitals and clinical personnel not understanding the importance of rehabilitation early intervention much; patients and their family not understanding the special curative effect to prevent and treat disability of rehabilitation; the application for reimbursement limitation to the fee for patients to accept rehabilitation treatment and/or stay in rehabilitation section in hospitalization insurance and plan as a whole, and so on.ConclusionThe factors above limit the further development of rehabilitation service of polyclinics in Beijing. Effective measures should be taken and correlative policies should be established in order to promote the rehabilitation service in Beijing.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes in the expression of phospholipase C-gamma1tyr783 (PLC-γ1tyr783) in the condylar cartilage of a young rat during functional mandibular protraction. This work also explores the function of PLC-γ1tyr783 in the rat mandibular condylar cartilage bone remodeling, which could provide experimental evidence for clinical bone ortho- pedic work.

METHODSA total of 60 four-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used in this study. The rats were divided equally and randomly into experimental group and control group. The functional appliances that were fitted to the upper incisors of the animals in the experimental group were worn 24 h a day after the rats were fed for 7 d with homemade pellet feed. The animals in the experimental group, along with their matched controls, were sacrificed after 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 d. The bilateral condylar was fixed, decalcified, dehyded, and then conventional paraffin embedded. Immunohisto- chemistry of PLC-γ1tyr783 was applied to observe its express distribution and variation.

RESULTSThe expression of PLC-γ1tyr783 decreased gradually in the control group, which showed age-related changes (P > 0.05). On the 14th day, PLC-γ1tyr783 expres- sion in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group. PLC-γ1tyr783 expression began to appear statistically and significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONPLC-γ1tyr783 is involved in the bone remodeling process of the rat condylar cartilage after functional mandibular-protraction.

Objective To assess the consistency of diagnostic results using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in the central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).Methods This is a retrospective case series of 26 eyes of 26 patients with CRVO.There were 10 females (10 eyes) and 16 males (16 eyes).The mean age was (49.19±10.50) years.The mean course of the disease was (27.81± 21.60) days.Simultaneous OCTA and FFA were performed in all patients using 7-standard field of Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) to evaluate the microaneurysms,nonperfused areas,optical disc/retinal neovascularization and maeular edema.The consistency was evaluated using weighted Kappa statistic values.Kappa≥0.76,consistency is excellent;0.60≤Kappa＜0.75,consistency is good;0.40≤Kappa＜0.60,consistency is general;Kappa＜0.40,consistency is poor.Results Based on OCTA,microaneurysms were found in 23 eyes,nonperfused areas in 16 eyes,optical disc/retinal neovascularization in 8 eyes and macular edema in 21 eyes.Based on FFA,23 eyes were diagnosed to have microaneurysms,14 eyes have nonperfused area,8 eyes have optical disc/retinal neovascularization,22 eyes have macular edema.The consistency was excellent for microaneurysms and optical disc/retinal neovascularization (Kappa=0.772,0.766;P＜0.01),good for nonperfused areas and macular edema (Kappa =0.703,0.600,P＜ 0v01).Conclusion There is high consistency between OCTA and FFA in the diagnosis of microaneurysms,macular edema,nonperfused areas and optical disc/retinal neovascularization in CRVO patients.
