1.Microglia and Cerebral Ischemia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;0(06):-
Microglia is the principal immune effector cell in brain. It plays some important roles in support, nutrition, protection, and repair in the physiological activities of neuron. Microglia can be quickly activated, which may proliferate after cerebral ischemia, and promote phagocytosis of macrophage. It exerts dual effects by producing neurotoxic molecules and neurotrophic factors. Therefore, to study the relationship between microglia and cerebral ischemia, give full play to its protective functions and reduce its damage will help to improve the therapeutic effects of cerebral ischemic injury.

Objective To observe the biocompatibility of a biomimetic designing of a multi-grade compositions in repairing articular cartilage and subchondral bone in animal bodies and repair the fullthickness defects in articular cartilage with the compositions and to study the regenerated cartilage histomorphologically. Methods Biocompatibility study: Acute general toxicity test, Haemolysis test, subcutaneous implantation test and chronic toxicity test. Articular cartilage defects repaired experimental study :The models of defects in articular cartilage were made artificially in both condylus lateralis femoris of mature rabbits. Implanted with the biomimetic designing of a multi grade compositions randomly at one side as the experimental group and the other side were untreated as the control group. The rabbits were killed at 4, 6, 8and 12 weeks after operation, respectively, with 6 ones at each time, and the macroscopic, histological, ultrastroctural examinations and semi-quantity cartilage scoring employing Wakitanifa repaired cartilage value system were performed. Results Biocompatibility study: (1) The rabbits' weight in experimental group kept growing .(2) Haemolysis rate of rats to different concentrations of diffusion solution was<5%.(3) In chronic toxic reaction, rabbits' liver and kidney function was not different compared with the control groups at 12weeks and the index before operation. Articular cartilage defects repaired experimental study: 4-8 weeks after operation, the defects in the experimental group were partly filled with hyaline cartilage. Twelve weeks after operation, the defects in the experimental group were completely filled with mature hyaline cartilage.However, fibrous tissues were seen in the control group all the time. At 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively, the Wakitanifa cartilage scores were (7.60±0.98), (5.69±0.58), (4.46±0.85) and (4.35±0.12), respectively,in the experimental group and (10.25±1.05), (9.04±0.96), (8.96±0.88) and (8.88±0.68), respectively, in the control group. Differences between the control group and the experimental group were significant. Conclu sion The biomimetic designing of a multi-grade compositions has good biocompatibility and may induce cartilage regeneration to repair the full-hickness defects of articular cartilage.

Objective To investigate the long-term prognosis and possible risk factors of acute kidney injury(AKI)following cardiac surgeries. Methods Clinical data of 941 patients undergoing open heart surgery from January 2004 to June 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Survival and renal function of above patients were informed through telephone or clinic follow-up till February 2010.Long-term survival was analyzed using risk-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results Of the 941 patients after cardiac surgery,275(29.2%)developed AKI and 666(70.8%)did not.Survival was worse in patients with AKI(67.8%vs 85.6%,P<0.01)and was proportional to its severity (AKIN 1,2 and 3 stages:70.7%,62.3%and 58.6%,P<0.01).Although 90.5% of patients had complete renal recovery after AKI at discharge of hospital,they still had an increased risk for death during follow-up compared with patients without AKI (69.6% vs 85.6%,P<0.01).In the Cox proportional hazards regression model,age(HR=2.238),anemia (HR=1.625),prolonged operation time (HR=1.153),AKI severity (HR=1.473)were independent risk factors for long-term prognosis after cardiac surgery.At the end of the follow-up,patients with AKI had statistically higher Scr than non-AKI patients(107.6 μmol/L vs 83.0 μmol/L,P=0.014),and among those AKI patients,34.0%progressed into CKD 3-5 stages,34.8%developed double serum creatinine. Conclusions AKI is a risk factor for the long-term prognosis of cardiac surgery.Patients with complete renal recovery after AKI still has an increased risk for death and poor renal function compared with patients without AKI.
