Objective To study the early functional change of sinusoid endothelial cell after liver transplantation in rat, and to investigate the endothelia protective effect of prostaglandin E_1(PGE_1). Methods Rat orthotopic liver transplantation model was performed in "two-cuff method", grouped as follows: group A served as normal rat blank control, group B as operative control with normal donor, group C as experimental control with shock donor, and group D as experimental group with shock donor and PGE_1 administration ( n =8 in each group). Transplanted groups (referring to recipients without specific definition) were sacrificed 6 h after operation for blood taken to detect serum liver enzymes (ALT, LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) and plasm endothelin (ET). Liver tissue was resected at the same time for standard pathologic examination. Comparison of the difference the results was made between groups. Results Cold preservation time and anhepatic phase were similar in each group, (2?0.5) h and (15?3) min respectively. All survived 6 h after transplantation (8/8) in group B and D with a survival rate of 100%, only 5 survived 6 h after transplantation in group C (5/8) with a survival rate of 62.5%. Comparing with group C, blood ALT, LDH, MDA, ET decreased and NO increased significantly in group D ( P

Specimens of skin, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, brain, peripheral nerve and catilage were taken from 6 cadavers (divided into 2 groups) perfused and embalmed with formalin. 90 pieces of the above-mentioned tissues were taken in different times and the paraffin sections were stained by routine HE. Electron microscopic observation was made from some skin and skeletal muscle specimens, and histochemical methods were used to demonstrate DNA, RNA, keratin(-SH, -SS), fatty acids and calcium in some skin materials. Loyez stain method for myelin sheath was applied to some brain and nerve sections.1. Skin tissue: In both group A and B, 83.3% and 78.9% of skin materials were appraised as grade I and II (excellent and good) respectively. The morphological changes appeared mainly as karyopyknosis of the epidermal cells and shrinkage of the secretory part of the sweat glands. Most of the skin tissues of the corpses perfused 3~4 hrs after death were well preserved, only 8.3% being in grade Ⅲ (moderate). On the other hand, 43% of skin materials taken from those perfused 30 hrs after death were in grade Ⅲ. Ultrastructurally, the shape of the epidermal cells and their adhensions still remained intact, but karyopyknosis or chromolysis and autolysis of most of the cytoplasmic membraneous structures were found. In those cadavers preserved for less than one year, there was no evidence of progressive changes in microscopic and submicroscopic structures of the skin. The tonofillaments and desmosomes were still kept well in those specimens preserved for many years, and their presence may be the cause of maintaining cell integrity. Histochemically, mercapto-reaction of keratin was kept stable and found to be well shown even in old samples of skin, but the disulfide reaction usually showed marked fading with time, probably due to exofolition of the stratum corneum. However, this reaction was well shown in the hairs and not weakened for many years.2. Fat tissue: Hydrolysis of lipid substances of subcutancous fat and sebaceous gland, as shown by the presence of fatty acid, was found in the corpses preserved even as short as half a year.3. Skeletal muscle: The preservation state of the skeletal muscle was also dependent on the complete perfusion in time. The structure of the muscle fibers was generally worse preserved than that of the skin as shown in severe myolysis. Since stagnation of the small blood vessels frequently accompanied myolysis, obstruction of microcirculation which prevented the permeation of fomalin into the muscle tissues may be the cause of rapid myolysis. The ultrastructural changes of the muscle fibers were the same as those of the epidermal cells. In all specimens even as old as 30 years, two types of myofillaments were well preserved, and bands could be seen distinctly.4. Nervous tissue: The brain tissues were well preserved in those corpses that were perfused shortly after death, but the peripheral nerves usually showed severe autolysis, obviously it is due to the same reasons as those for myolysis.5. Cartilage: The structural changes of cartilage after death were slow and all specimens of cartilage were well preserved.

The arrangement of fascicles of musculocutaneous nerve at different levels in brachial plexus were studied in 22 adult cadavers. The nerve fascicles were dissociated and traced under operative microscope. At the distal end of the musculocutaneous nerve, the muscular and cutaneous fascicles are separated.The muscular fascicles are situated at the latero-anterior quadrant of the cross-section of the nerve.The mixed fascicle are become predominated proximally. The muscular and the muscular predominated mixed fascicles are still situated at latero-anterior quadrant. At the level 1 cm below the clevicle, 1cm and 1.5 cm above the clevicle,the fascicles of the nerve are situated at the lateral superio-anterior quadrant of the crosssection of relative parts of brachial plexus. The fascicles of the nerve are situated at the anterior quadrant of the crosssection of superior trunks. The fibers of musculocutaneous nerve are originate from C5, C6 and C7, being 31.6,%, 64.6% and 3.8%,respectively.

In this paper, the aging of the stem cells has been elucidated in the aspect of quantitative and qualitative exhaustion, such as balance self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. The reduced telomere and oxidative stress both accelerate the aging course, besides, histone code and transcriptional activation lead to the DNA or protein damage. It plays an important role in the stem cell aging that the modulation of allochromosome structure and epigenetic regulation of gene transcription. If the aging of the stem cells doesn’t happen on the level of the gene, it must result from the transcription. During the haemopoiesis process of stem cells, all kinds of the transcriptional mistakes will lead to the aging of cell cycle, which is the result of allochromosome enlarging. However, the above mechanism will not occur normally. Only allochromosome allotopia is not explainable to the gene expression of stem cells. The proof of stem cells’ self-renewal evidences that if not the consequence of cell expression, allochromosome change the histone.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of posterior subtotal vertebrectomy in the treatment of thoracolumbar vertebral refractures after vertebroplasty.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in the 28 patients with refracture after percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) or percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP) who had been treated at Department of Spinal Surgery, Henan Provincial People's Hospital from June 2017 to October 2019. They were 7 males and 21 females, with an average age of 62.4 years(from 61 to 76 years). A total of 28 vertebrae were involved, including 5 T11s, 9 T12s, 11 L1s and 3 L2s. Their previous operations were PKP in 17 cases and PVP in 11. After the spinous process, vertebral plate, articular process and transverse process were resected by posterior approach, the vertebral body, bone cement and upper and lower intervertebral discs were partially resected by trans-vertebral lateral approach. At the same time, nerve decompression was performed. Finally, the inter-vertebral support was fixated followed by the posterior screw-rod orthopedic fixation. The operation time and intraoperative bleeding volume were recorded. The cobb angles of kyphosis were compared on the X-ray films of the whole spine between preoperation and the last follow-up to evaluate correction. Functional improvement of the spine was evaluated by comparison of the visual analogue scale (VAS) and JOA(Japanese Orthopedics Association) scores between preoperation and the last follow-up.Results:The operation time averaged 182.1 min and intraoperative bleeding volume 996.2 mL. All the 28 patients were followed up for 8 to 29 months (mean, 19.8 months). No obvious neurological lesions or other serious complications were observed. The cobb angle was improved from preoperative 41.3°±10.3° to 6.4°±2.5° at the last follow-up, the VAS score from preoperative 7.3±1.8 to 2.5±1.0 at the last follow-up, and the JOA score from preoperative 8.4±2.3 to 21.3±2.5 at the last follow-up, showing a significant difference in all the comparisons ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The posterior subtotal vertebrectomy is effective for thoracolumbar vertebral refractures after vertebroplasty because it can remove bone cement, decompress the spinal canal, fuse the inter-vertebral graft and reconstruct the spinal stability in one stage.
