BACKGROUND:Slow growth of peripheral nerve, muscle denervation atrophy and fossilization of motor end plate fol owing sciatic nerve injury cause irreversible limb function disorders. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells have been widely used in multi-disciplinary research, but studies concerning umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells delaying denervated muscle atrophy in rats fol owing peripheral nerve injury are rarely reported.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the value of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells transplantation to delay denervated muscle atrophy of rats after sciatic nerve injury.
METHODS:Umbilical cord blood was col ected from healthy parturient woman after ful-term delivery. In the experimental group, the rat’s Sunderland IV degree sciatic nerve injury model was established by 5 mm denervation, epineurial repair, and 5 mm smal gap transplantation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. In the control group, after modeling, the same volume of normal saline was injected into the smal gap. The main outcome measures included the sciatic nerve function index, the wet weight of triceps surae,sciatic nerve latency, action potential conduction velocity and amplitude,and skeletal muscle fiber cross section area maintenance rate.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 4, 8 and 12 weeks of modeling, the sciatic nerve function index values, the wet weight of triceps surae and skeletal muscle fiber cross section area maintenance rates in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). After 12 weeks of modeling, electromyography results showed sciatic nerve latency was significantly lower, but action potential conduction velocity and amplitude were dramatical y higher in the experimental group than the control group (P<0.05, P<0.001). Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in denervated muscle atrophy rats after sciatic nerve promotes nerve growth, delays denervated muscle atrophy, maintains the denervatied neuromusle’s morphology and function.

Hyperuricemia contributes to renal inflammation. We aimed to investigate the role of Naâºâ€“Kâºâ€“ATPase (NKA) in hyperuricemia-induced renal tubular injury. Human primary proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) were incubated with uric acid (UA) at increasing doses or for increasing lengths of time. PTECs were then stimulated by pre-incubation with an NKA α1 expression vector or small interfering RNA before UA (100 μg mlâ»Â¹, 48 h) stimulation. Hyperuricemic rats were induced by gastric oxonic acid and treated with febuxostat (Feb). ATP levels, the activity of NKA and expression of its α1 subunit, Src, NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) were measured both in vitro and in vivo. Beginning at concentrations of 100 μg ml−1, UA started to dose-dependently reduce NKA activity. UA at a concentration of 100 μg mlâ»Â¹ time-dependently affected the NKA activity, with the maximal increased NKA activity at 24 h, but the activity started to decrease after 48 h. This inhibitory effect of UA on NKA activity at 48 h was in addition to a decrease in NKA α1 expression in the cell membrane, but an increase in lysosomes. This process also involved the subsequent activation of Src kinase and NLRP3, promoting IL-1β processing. In hyperuricemic rats, renal cortex NKA activity and its α1 expression were upregulated at the 7th week and both decreased at the 10th week, accompanied with increased renal cortex expression of Src, NLRP3 and IL-1β. The UA levels were reduced and renal tubular injuries in hyperuricemic rats were alleviated in the Feb group. Our data suggested that the impairment of NKA and its consequent regulation of Src, NLRP3 and IL-1β in the renal proximal tubule contributed to hyperuricemia-induced renal tubular injury.

Objective To observe the effect of aspirin on the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis of human adrenal cortical cancer cells, and to explore preliminarily the related mechanisms. Methods The human adrenal cortical cancer cells were cultured in vitro. The experimental group was DEME/F-12 complete medium which contained different concentrations of aspirin (final concentration of 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1 mg/ml). The control group was DEME/F-12 complete medium which had no aspirin but 1%anhydrous ethanol instead. After treatment by aspirin at different concentrations for different durations (24, 48, 72 hours), we detected the proliferation inhibition of SW-13 cells and H295R cells by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method, observed the changes of cell morphology with the inverted microscope; Observed and counted apoptotic cells through Hoechst33258 fluorescent staining, tested the cell apoptosis by flow cytometry, and detected the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax by western blotting. Results The date of MTT showed that after treated by different concentrations of aspirin,the growth inhibition ratio of SW-13 cells and H295R cells were higher than the control group (P<0.05), and at the same time, the inhibition ratio would increase when the drug concentration increased ( P<0. 05 ), with a dose-dependent tendency. When the drug concentration was constant, the inhibition ratio increased with the duration of the drug (P<0.05), which showed a time-dependent tendency. The number of apoptosis cells and the cell apoptosis rate of both SW-13 and H295R which were treated by different concentrations of aspirin for 48 hours were higher than the control group ( P<0. 01). According to the analysis of grayscale value of western blotting, Aspirin can increase the expression of Bax ( P<0.05). On the contrary, the expression of bcl-2 in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Aspirin may inhibit the growth of human adrenal cortical cancer cell in vitro and induce its apoptosis, and the possible mechanism may be correlated with the up-regulation of the expression of Bax, and down regulation of Bcl-2 expression.

Observation indicators: (1) imaging examination; (2) imaging features on CT; (3) imaging features on MRI; (4) pathological examination and immunohistochemistry staining; (5) treatment and follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was conducted at 1, 3, 6 months after discharge and once every 6 months thereafter to detect survival of patients up to December 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Imaging examination. Of the 21 patients, 7 underwent single CT examination, 11 underwent MRI examination, and 3 underwent both CT and MRI examinations. ① Tumor shape: all the 21 patients had single tumor, including 17 showing round or quasi-round shape, and 4 showing irregular clumps. ② Tumor location: of the 21 patients, 6 had tumor located at pancreatic head, 2 had tumor located at pancreatic head and body, 2 had tumor located at pancreatic body, 4 had tumor located at pancreatic body and tail, 4 had tumor located at pancreatic tail, and 3 had had tumor located at ampulla. ③ The maximum tumor diameter was (43±29)mm, with a range from 11 to 129 mm. ④ Adjacent organ invasion: 10 of the 21 patients had invasion of adjacent organ, including 2 with invasion of stomach, spleen and left adrenal gland invasion, 4 with invasion of duodenum, 3 with invasion of duodenum and common bile duct, 1 with invasion of spleen. ⑤ Vascular invasion: 12 patients had invasion of splenic artery or splenic vein, including 1 combined with invasion of both common hepatic artery and superior mesenteric vein, 1 combined with invasion of celiac root. ⑥ Pancreatic and bile duct invasion: 8 patients had pancreatic and bile duct dilation, including 4 with bile duct and upper pancreatic duct dilation, and 4 with pancreatic duct dilation. ⑦ Lymph node metastasis: 2 patients had perineoplastic lymph node enlargement. ⑧ Other conditions: 7 patients had tumor center with cystic necrosis. Four patients had atrophy pancreatic parenchyma. Two patients had splenic vein tumor thrombosis. Two patients had cysts. One patient had multiple liver metastases. (2) Imaging features on CT. ① The solid part was dominant in the main body of the 10 patients undergoing CT examination, demostrating equal density, of which 3 cases had clear boundaries, 2 cases had pseudocapsule around the lesion, and 5 cases had low-density necrotic area in the center of lesion. ② In arterial phase of CT examination, the solid part of tumor had a lower enhancement compared with the normal pancreatic tissues in 7 patients, while the solid part of tumor had a high enhancement compared with the normal pancreatic tissues in 3 patients. ③ In delayed phase of CT examination, the tumor density was slightly lower than or equal to density of normal pancreatic parenchyma in 7 patients, showing slightly progressive enhancement, while the tumor density was slightly higher than or equal to density of normal pancreatic parenchyma in 3 patients. (3) Imaging features on MRI. ① MRI plain scan of 14 patients showed that 8 patients demostrated slightly longer T2 and slightly longer T1 signals in lesions, while 6 patients demostrated mixed signals dominated by long T2 and equal T1 signals. The area of cystic necrosis was observed in lesions of 4 patients and was not observed in 10 patients. No antiphase signal reduction was observed in the 14 patients. ② MRI dynamic enhanced scan of 12 patients showed that 11 patients presented mild progressive enhancement in lesions and 1 patient presented obvious confounding enhancement and clearance in the delayed phase. Compared with adjacent normal pancreatic parenchyma, diffused weighted imaging showed high signals in 6 cases, slightly high signals in 6 cases, and high signal halo in 2 cases. The apparent diffusion coefficient in 14 lesions was (1.22±0.14)×10 -3 mm 2/s. (4) Pathological examination and immunohistochemistry staining. Results of pathological examination in the 21 patients: acinic cell carcinoma, mixed ductal-acinic cell carcinoma, acinar-endocrine carcinoma, and atypical hyperplasia inacinus were detected in 14, 5, 1, and 1 patients, respectively. Of the 21 patients, 10 had invasion of adjacent organ, 3 had invasion of bile duct, 2 had invasion of lymph node. Results of immunohistochemistry staining in 17 patients: 17 patients had proliferation index of Ki-67 as 1%-80%; 10 out of 16 patients were positive for synaptophysin; 6 out of 16 patients were positive for CD56 protein; 2 out of 14 patients were positive for Chromogranin A; 12 out of 13 patients were positive for α-antitrypsin; 9 out of 11 patients were positive for cytokeratin; 8 patients were positive for β-catenin; 2 patients were positive for B lymphoma-10 protein. (5) Treatment and follow-up. Of the 21 patients, 10 cases underwent pancreatico-duodenectomy, 6 cases underwent pancreatic body and tail pancreatectomy combined with splenectomy, 2 cases underwent pancreatic body and tail pancreatectomy, 1 case underwent pancreatic tail tumor enucleation, 1 case underwent liver metastasis resection, and 1 case underwent ultrasound-guided pancreatic lesion puncture biopsy. All the 21 patients were followed up for (30±16)years, with a range from 2 to 52 months. There were 13 patient surviving and 8 cases of death. They had survived for (19±13)months, with a range from 2 to 35 months. Conclusions:The CT and MRI enhanced scan of ACCP showed slightly progressive enhancement, with cystic necrosis seen in the center and high signals in diffused weighted imaging. Dilation of bile duct and pancreatic duct is common in patients with pancreatic head tumors, and invasion of splenic artery and vein is common in pancreatic body and tail tumors. Calcification and cyst are rare and lesions of pancreatic head and body cause atrophy in pancreatic tail.
