To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on cellular proliferative nuclear antigen (PCNA) in spinal cord after its injury (SCI), we observed the pathological changes and the expression change in PCNA in spinal cord after the injured rats were treated with HBO. The results showed that there were hemorrhage, edema, vacuolation of nerve cells in spinal cord, disorder and fragmentation in nerve fibers after injury. PCNA was strongly positively expressed in neurons. The results in 0.1MPa HBO group were similar to that of non-treatment group, while in 0.25MPa HBO group, edema was abolished, the cellular vacuolation was lessened, the morphology of nerve cells recovered, the structural configuration appeared normal, and the degree of PCNA expression was decreased compared with the injury group. These results suggested that PCNA could serve as a cellular proliferative index; HBO could prevent or alleviate the pathological changes of SCI, and could effectively promote the repair of the injury of the spinal cord.

Objective Platelet aggregation, activation induced by bubbles is the main cause of decompression sick-ness.Clopidogrel(Clo) can decrease platelet aggregation through inhibiting the bind of fibrinogen and ADP .This study is designed to find if Clopidogrel can paly a protective role in decompression sickness and explore the intervention mechanism . Methods Totally 111 male SD rats divided into 3 groups:normal control group (n=20), decompression sickness(DCS) group(n=46), and DCS+Clo(Clopidogrel)treated decompression sickness (DCS+Clo)group(n=45).The rats in DCS and DCS+Clo group were placed in chamber and compressed to 1.5 MPa at speed of 2t/4 , the time of compression and res-idence was 4.5 min totally, then decompressed to surface at a speed of 3 m/s.The mortality and behavioral of rats were ob-served within 30 min post decompression .The pathology and the wet/dry ratio of lung , WBC and platelet counts in periph-eral blood, the expression of activated platelets , and immunohistochemical detection of lung tissue CD 41 expression were also been tested .Results We found Clo reduces the DCS mortality risk ( mortality rate:11/45 in DCS+Clo group vs 28/46 in DCS group, P<0.01).Clo reduced the lung injury, the wet/dry ratio of lung, the accumulation of platelet and leu-kocyte in lung , the WBC counts and activated platelets in peripheral blood .Conclusion Clo can play a protective role in decompression sickness through reducing post-decompression platelet consumption and activation , decreasing the activation of leukocytes .

BACKGROUND:Using three dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques,any part of body is accessible to visual observation.However,reports concerning 3D reconstruction of craniofacial vascularity based on PC are few in China.OBJECTIVE:To explore the method and the application values of reconstructing a digital 3D model of craniofacial vascularity based on the data of CT strengthening scanning.METHODS:CT strengthening scan images from a healthy volunteer in DICOM format were imported into Mimics 10.01 software and craniofacial blood vessels were reconstructed with the technique of thresholding,editing and 3D region growing.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The 3D digital model of craniofacial blood vessels was obtained.This model could be zoomed and rotated randomly and displayed the spatial positions and adjacent relationships of different anatomical structures,also the reconstructed structures could be measured in 3D space.The 3D digital model of craniofacial blood vessels can be reconstructed conveniently and quickly with Mimics software on PC,and also it can bring morphological reference to human anatomy teaching,clinical neurosurgery,oral and maxillofacial surgery,as well as image diagnosis,and will be helpful to generate a virtual plateform in craniofacial surgery.

Purpose To study the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype and differential diagnosis of proximal epithelioid sarcoma (PES).Methods The clinical, radiological and pathological features were reviewed in 6 cases of PES.Results The patients consisted of five males and one female with ages ranging from 32 to 74 years (mean 56 years). Clinically, the tumor mass were progressively-growing solitary nodules with the fuctional disorder and pain. The sites of the tumor involvement were buttock (1 case), thigh (2 cases), iliac spine (1 case), lumbar spine (1 case) and anterior sacrum (1 case). Histologically, the tumors were mainly consisted of epithelioid cells with round or oval nuclei, prominent nucleoli and eosinophilic cytoplasm, some tumor cells appeared rhabdoid features. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for vimentin (6/6), CK (5/6), EMA (6/6),β-catenin (6/6), CD99 (5/6), and CD34 (4/6), but negative for S-100 protein, HMB 45, CD 117 and CD 31.Conclusion PES is a distinctive moderate grade malignant tumor with prominent epithelioid and rhabdoid cells appearance.The differential diagnoses include the tumors that have similar cellular appearance with PES, and immunohistochemical staining is useful for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the intervention of chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4) antagonist AMD3100 in lung tissues of rats during pulmonary oxygen intoxication.Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal pressure air PBS group, normal pressure air antagonist group , oxygen exposure PBS group and oxygen exposure antagonist group, each consisting of 10 animals.The last two groups were compressed to 0.23 MPa at an exponential rate of 0.1 MPa/min by pure oxygen.Pathological changes of lung tissues were observed by hematoxylin eosin stain.Changes in TNF-αand IL-1βexpression levels in the lung tissues of rats were detected by ELISA.Changes in CXCR4 expression levels were ob-served by Western blotting.Results Pathological examination indicated that edema and hemorrhage in the alveolar and pulmonary interstitial tissue of oxygen exposure antagonist group were lighter than in oxygen exposure PBS group.The levels of TNF-α, IL-1βand cleaved-caspase-3 in the lung tissues of the oxygen exposure antagonist group were lower than in oxy-gen exposure PBS group.Conclusion Blocking CXCR4 with AMD3100 can effectively alleviate lung injury during pulmo-nary oxygen intoxication.
