Objective To explore the effects of lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) on restraining the mouse pancre?atic cancer cells LTPA by the polarization of macrophages to type 1 macrophages (M1). Methods LTPA tumor model of the subcutaneous CB-17SCID mice was constructed. Model mice were randomly divided into tumor-bearing model group (n=10) and LBP treatment group (n=10). The LBP treatment group was fed 10mg/kg LBP every day, and the tumor-bearing model group was fed the same dose of normal saline. The same amount of macrophages Raw264.7 was randomly divided into the control group and experimental groups (different concentrations of LBP). MTT assay was used to detect the optical density (OD) of Raw264.7 in experimental groups and control group. ELISA was used to detect the levels of the interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-10 in experimental group (LBP was 100 mg/L) and the control group. Flow cytometry was used to test the levels of the membrane protein CD16/32 and CD206 in experimental group (LBP was 100 mg/L) and the control group. The tumor mass was weighted and the volume was calculated after three weeks. The effects of LBP on the growth of subcutaneous tumor were detected. HE staining and KI-67 staining were used to detect the microscopic changes of tumor and the proliferation of the LTPA. Results The dose of 100 mg/L LBP can promote the growth of the macrophages Raw264.7 (P<0.01), and induced the high expression of CD16/32 and low expression of CD206, high secretion of IL-12 and low secretion of IL-10. The weight, volume of the tumor and the expression of KI-67 were significantly lower in experimental group than those in the con?trol group (P<0.01). The microscopic necrosis area range of tumor was larger than that of control group. Conclusion The LBP has the effect of restraining LTPA by the polarization of macrophages to M1.

BACKGROUND:The basic idea of artificial disc replacement is the intension to minimize the impact on adjacent segments based on the premise of stabilizing index segment, then prevent and reduce the incidence of adjacent segment degeneration.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the indications and contraindications of artificial disc replacement, peri-operative
economics considerations, long-term complications, as wel as the effect of artificial lumbar disc replacement combined with fusion surgery.
METHODS:The PubMed database, CNKI database and SinoMed database over the past decade were searched for the related articles. The retrospective and prospective clinical trials of artificial lumbar disc replacement were included. Repetitive studies and stale perspectives were excluded. A total of 34 articles were summarized and analyzed in the end.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Since the first artificial lumbar disc prosthesis designed to be commercial y
distributed in 1982, there have been a plenty of clinical trials on lumbar disc replacement. However, there is no
answer to many problems that encountered in clinical trials. The effect of the number of replaced segment on the clinical outcomes, the effect of facet joint degeneration on the clinical outcomes, selection of the patients with the history of lumbar disc surgery, age of the patients and the rest time before disc replacement should be taken into consideration in the researches on indications and contraindications of artificial disc replacement. The
intraoperative blood loss, operation time and hospital stay after replacement can be used to evaluate whether lumbar disc replacement is better than the traditional lumbar fusion surgery or not. The complications after lumbar disc
replacement include heterotopic ossification, implants mechanical failure, and facet joint and adjacent segment
degeneration. The combination of lumbar disc replacement and fusion surgery for the treatment of multi-segmental lumbar disc diseases can achieve complement and thus obtaining the efficacy that better than the application of one surgery alone.

BACKGROUND:Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cels to prevent and treat degeneration of the intervertebral disc is a feasible method. Mesenchymal stem cels co-transfected by SRY-related high mobility group-box gene 9 (SOX-9) and growth differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) can differentiate into nucleus pulposus cels, in order to obtain greater effect of induction and proliferation of nucleus pulposus cels. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of SOX-9 and GDF-5 co-transfection on the differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into nucleus pulposus cels. METHODS: We separated and cultured bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from the bone marrow of rabbit aged 4 months. Passage 3 cels were divided into five groups andin vitro induced to differentiate into nucleus pulposus cels: non-transfected group, empty vector transfection group, SOX-9 transfection group, GDF-5 transfection group, SOX-9 and GDF-5 co-transfection group. At 14 days after transfection, RT-PCR was employed to assay SOX-9, GDF-5 and colagen type II mRNA expressions in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. The marker of nucleus pulposus cels-KRT19 expression was also detected by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the co-transfection group, the mRNA expressions of SOX-9, GDF-5, and colagen type II were significantly higher than those in the SOX-9 transfection group, GDF-5 transfection group, and both these two groups, respectively (P < 0.05). Cels were positive for KRT19 in the SOX-9 and GDF-5 groups, and strongly positive for KRT19 in the co-transfection group. These findings indicate that double gene-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels are better than single gene-transfected cels with regard to differentiation into nucleus pulposus cels and secretion of extracelular matrix.
