Objective To explore the intervention effects of trichostatin A ( TSA ) on specialization of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs ) .Methods The rat MSCs were isolated, cultured and purified by the whole bone marrow adherent method in vitro, with morphological observation.The third generation of MSCs were selected, directional induced to osteoblasts, and divided into the TSA low dose group (0.1μmol/L), middle dose group (1μmol/L) , the high dose group (10μmol/L) according to different drug concentrations, seting up blank control group at the same time.MSCs proliferation and cell growth curve of each group were drawn by MMT, the activity of alkaliphosphatase ( ALP) was detected, and the levels of corebinding factor α1 (Cbfα1), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factors-1 (IGF-1) mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results The trend of MSCs growth curves in each groups were similar, compared with control group, the growth curve of TSA low dose group had no significant change, the TSA middle dose and high dose significantly promoted the proliferation of MSCs (P<0.05).Compared with control group, ALP activity of TSA low-, middle-and high-dose group were significantly higher at 4th,5th,6th(P<0.05).The expression levels of Cbfα1, bFGF and IGF-1mRNA were significantly higher than those of control group, respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion TSA can significantly promote the rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into osteoblast, which is possibly associated with up-regulation of Cbfα1, bFGF and IGF-1mRNA level.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found that skeletal muscle satellite cell transplantation can induce angiogenesisin myocardial infarction area, reduce infarct size and improve cardiac function. But the overall effect is not satisfactory.OBJECTIVE: To observe the survival of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene modified skeletal muscle satellitecells in acute myocardial infarction and to observe the expression of bFGF gene and the effect of cell transplantation onangiogenesis in myocardial infarction area.METHODS: Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were divided into three groups by random: skeletal muscle satellite cellgroup (control group), bFGF gene enhanced skeletal muscle satellite cell group (experimental group) and blank controlgroup. The left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery of the rabbits was ligated so as to establish an animalmodel of acute myocardial infarction in the former two groups. After labeled by DAPI before transplantation, the skeletalmuscle satellite cells, bFGF gene modified skeletal muscle satellite cells and the equivalent amount of DMEM/F12 wereinjected into the local infarct myocardium correspondingly. Samples were taken 4 weeks after transplantation. Then, thesurvival of skeletal muscle satellite cells and the expression of bFGF gene were observed under light microscope andfluorescence microscope, and the neovascularization in the myocardial infarction area was examined byimmunohistochemical staining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: No DAPI-labeled cells were visible in the blank control group, but in the other twogroups, a large amount of DAPI-labeled skeletal muscle satellite cells were seen in the infarction area. Enhanced greenfluorescent protein was highly expressed in the experimental group. Microvessel density in the infarction area washighest in the experimental group followed by the control and blank control groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicatethat bFGF gene modified skeletal muscle satellite cells can survive and promote neovascularization in the acutemyocardial infarction area.

Methods Sixty-two pregnant females with selective multiple pregnancy reduction in second trimester were randomly divided into intervention group(n=30)and control group (n=32), two groups of pregnant women all received routine nursing. The pregnant women of intervention group received group psychological counseling and peer education for one month before multiple pregnancy reduction. Results Before the intervention, the anxiety levels of the two groups of pregnant women were not significantly different. After the intervention, the intervention group had less anxiety symptoms than before the intervention[ before(54.2 ± 3.2)points,after(43.4 ± 3.1)points,t=13.250,P=0.000].After the intervention, the intervention group had less anxiety symptoms than the control group[the intervention group(43.4±3.1)points, the control group(50.0±4.4)points,t=6.712,P=0.000].Before the intervention, the depression levels of the two groups of pregnant women were not significantly different. After the intervention, the depression levels of the control group was not significantly different than those before the intervention. After the intervention, there was significantly lower depression score of the intervention group than that of the control group(P < 0.05) [before(56.9 ± 3.5)points, after(45.3 ± 2.5)points, t=14.773,P=0.000].After the intervention, the intervention group had lower depression score than the control group[the intervention group (45.3 ± 2.5) points, the control group (54.6 ± 3.0) points, t=12.802,P=0.000]. Conclusions Group psychological counseling and peer education can effectively improve depressive and anxiety symptoms of pregnant females with selective multiple pregnancy reduction in second trimester.

Objective To evaluate the results and side effects in three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) for esophageal carcinoma. Methods From December 1996 to December 1998,67 patients with esophageal carcinoma were treated with 3DCRT(3DCRT group),in which all were treated once every other day to a total dose of 40 42 ?Gy in 13 15 days at 5 6?Gy per fraction totally 7 8 fractions, and during the same interval, another 112 patients treated by conventional fractionation radiotherapy(CF group) to a total dose of 64 68?Gy over 44 48 days at 2.0?Gy per fraction 5 days per week were analyzed and compared. Results The 1 ,2 ,3 and 4 year local control rates in 3DCRT group were 71.6% ,62.7%,49.3% and 43.3% ,compared to 53.6%, 43.8% ,33.9% and 25.9% in CF group (P = 0.011). And the survival rates in 1 ,2 ,3 and 4 years in 3DCRT group were 62.7%,52.2%,43.3% and 38.8%, as compared with 49.1%, 41.1% ,30.4% and 22.3% in CF group (P = 0.027). However, in the 3DCRT group, the incidence of acute radiation esophagitis was higher (P=0.003) and those of hematogenous side effects and B symptom were lower(P=0.007,0.021). Conclusion Compared with conventional fractionation radiotherapy,3DCRT is able to improve the local control rate of esophageal carcinoma, with tolerable acute and late radiation side effects.

BACKGROUND: Neural behavior is a sensitive parameter for predicting abnormal central nervous growth that is resulted from multiple factors. Therefore this study was designed to explore the influence of hypothermia and cigarette smoke exposure during pregnancy on neural behavioral growth of neonatal rats.OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of hypothermia and cigarette smoke exposure on neural behavioral growth of neonatal rats.DESIGN: Randomized case control study based on experimental animals. SETTING: Obstetric and Gynecological Department , Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College; Cytobiological Department of Xinxiang Medical College.MATERIALS: Totally 270 healthy unpregnant SD rats were obtained, including 180 males with body mass of 190- 210 g, and 90 female rats with body mass of 225-275 g. Rats were raised with granulated feed and drinking water routinely in room of 25 ℃ with natural sunlight. Male and female rats in estrus were put in the same cage overnight in proportion of 2: 1, pregnancy was confirmed if vaginal bolt was observed the following morning. Totally 160 pregnant rats were obtained and randomly divided into 16 groups that were exposed to hyperthermia, cigarette smoke or their combination and by this way, earlier reflex, learning and memory of neonatal rats were observed after natural delivery,INTERVENTIONS: From the second day of pregnancy, rats in 37 ℃, 41 ℃,42 ℃ hyperthermia combining cigarette group received subcutaneous injection of 1 mL smoke hydrotrope every other day, while rats in 25 ℃ control group and 37 ℃, 41 ℃, 42 ℃ single hyperthemia groupwere given 2.0 mL double distilled water every day for totally 7 times. From the pregnancy of 10 days, pregnant rats were put into incubator, and rats anus temperature should be kept respectively at(37 ±0.5) ℃, (41 ±0.5)℃, (42 ±0.5)℃in the 37 ℃, 41 ℃, 42 ℃ of single hyperthemia groups and the temperature should last for 2.0 minutes; nats of 37 ℃, 41 ℃, 42 ℃hyperthemia combining cigarette group received the same treatment and were divided into four subgroups with the duration of 0. 5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 minutes respectively;rats in 25℃ control group were not exposed to hyperthermia. Rats were then singly raised from the pregnancy of 18 days for natural delivery. Pregnant days, number of neonatal rat and death rats were recorded, and visible malformation was observed. The average body masses of each cote of neonatal rats were measured every week. Time of eye-opening, ear-opening, hair-growing and teething were observed for assessing their physical growth. Reflex and sensory function of neonatal rats, such as planar tuning, spatial turning, visual orientation and auditory surprise was observed at 3, 7, 12, 16 days after birth respectively; The mean targeting time of each cote was used as reference for assessing their feflex. Y-lybirinth test was used for assessing learning and memory function of neonatal rats(30 days after birth).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Main outcomes: Reflex and sensory, such as planar tuning, spatial turning, visual orientation and auditory surrise. ② Secondary outcomes: Influence of hyperthemia and cigarette exposure on learning memory function of neonatal rats.RESULTS: For hyperthermia group(41C and 42C), targeting time of neonatal rat physical growth(eye-opening, ear-opening, hair-growing and teething) and reflex sensory function(planar tuning, spatial turning, nvisual orientation and auditory surprise), as well as learning and memory(minute) were obviously delayed in contrast with those of the control group and 37 C group(χ2 = 11.34, P ＜0.01 ); meanwhile, longer hyperthermia exposure (1.5 minutes) combined with cigarette smoke had supplementary effect on the above neural behaviors, which was significantly different from that of single hyperthermia group(χ2=10.29, P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: Abnormal neural behavior of neonatal rats, such as growing retardation, learning and memory obstacle could be induced by the combination of longer hyperthemia exposure and cigarette smoke.

BACKGROUND:Skeletal muscle satel ite cells are totipotential stem cells with multi-directional differentiation potential, locate in skeletal muscle interstitium, have a certain tolerance to ischemia and hypoxia, and are important cells in stem cellengineering.
OBJECTIVE:To establish a thrifty, convenient culture procedure and create a simple, efficient method to transfect skeletal muscle satel ite cells, and investigate genetic expression after the transfection for cellular cardiomyoplasty.
METHODS:Skeletal muscle satel ite cells were isolated from rabbit thigh and cultured. Their growth curves were determined by CKK-8 method. Grouped by different proportions of the plasmid and liposome, skeletal muscle satel ite cells were transfered by the enhanced green fluorescent protein plasmid based on liposome. After transfection, the efficiency and character of target genetic expression was determined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Satel ite cells were isolated, cultured and transfected successful y. In suitable ratio of plasmid and liposomes, the transfection efficiency reached up to above 35%. The target protein was expressed within 12 hours after transfection, reached maximum in 48-72 hours and decreased gradual y after one week. The expression stil could be observed two weeks latter. The enhanced green fluorescent protein plasmid conducted by cationic liposome could be transfered into skeletal muscle satel ite cells efficiently. The transfection efficiency was correlated closely to the ratio of plasmid and lipofectamine. The change of target gene expression depended on time.

Background The study on eye surface damage following phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is increasingly concerned,and these symptoms were associated with dry eye and often treated by polyethylene glycol eyedrops to remit the discomfortableness.Recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF) eyedrops contains neurotrophic factors, but its effect on eye surface damage is worth researching.Objective This study was to evaluate the repair effects of rb-bFGF on ocular surface injury after phacoemulsification with IOL implantation.Methods A randomized controlled trail was designed.Ninety eyes of 72 consecutive patients with age-related cataract were enrolled in Fenyang Hospital of Shanxi Province from September 2010 to August 2013 under the informed consent.Phacoemulsification with IOL implantation was performed on all the eyes, and tobramycin and dexamethasone eye drops was used for 15 days as basis therapy.According to the treatment sequence,the operative eyes were assigned to rb-bFGF eyedrops group, polyethylene glycol eyedrops group and basis therapy group.rb-bFGF drops and polyethylene glycol drops were topically administered 4 times per day since the first day after surgery for consecutive 30 days in corresponding group,and only basis therapy was maintained in the basis therapy grouply.Corneal fluorescence (FL) staining scores,breakup time of tear film (BUT) and Schirmer Ⅰ test (S Ⅰ t) without topical anesthesia were examined in 1 day before operation and 1 day,7 days, 15 days and 30 days after operation.The efficacy was intergrouply compared.Results No significant differences were seen in the demography and the relevant surface examinational outcomes among the rb-bFGF group, polyethylene glycol drops group and the basis therapy group before surgery (age : F =1.50;gender :x2 =0.336, both at ＞ 0.05;FL : F =0.31;BUT:F =0.65;S Ⅰ t: F =0.57;all at P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the before operation, FL scores were obviously increased,and BUT values were reduced and S Ⅰ t values were elavated in all the eyes early stage of surgey and then gradually improved with the lapse of postoperative time, showing significant differences (Ftime =7.83,7.32,7.17, all at P＜0.01).The FL scores,BUT and S Ⅰ t in 15 days after surgery in the rb-bFGF drops group and 30 days after surgery in the polyethylene glycol drops group was closed to those of before surgery (all at P＞0.05).However,there were still significant differences between the before and after operation in the basis were closed to those of before surgery therapy group (all at P＜0.05).In addition, significant differences were found in corneal FL scores, BUT and S Ⅰ t among these three groups (Fgroup =5.08,4.15,4.61, all at P＜0.05).In postoperative 15 days and 30 days, the S Ⅰ t values were (12.32±1.18) and (11.32±1.98) mm/5 rmin,which were significantly lower than (14.36±1.77) and (13.36±2.32) mm/5 min in the polyethylene glycol drops group and (17.25 ±2.24) and (13.25 ±2.53) mm/5 min in the basis therapy group (all at P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The topical application of rb-bFGF combined with tobramycin and dexamethasone eyedrops can improve the dry eye-related symptoms and promote the repair of the ocular surface injury after phacoemulsification with IOL implantation,and the clinical efficacy of rb-bFGF eyedrops is better than that of polyethylene glycol eyedrops or only tobramycin and dexamethasone eyedrops.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dezocine on the c-fos expression in neurons in the midbrain periaqueductal gray in a rat model of incisional pain.Methods Thirty-six pathogen-free healthy adult male Wistar rats,weighing 250-300 g,were divided into 3 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),incisional pain group (group I) and dezocine group (group D).A 1 cm longitudinal incision was made through skin,fascia and muscle of the plantar aspect of the right hind paw in sevoflurane-anesthetized rats.In group C,the rats were only anesthetized and underwent no operation.In group I,0.9％ sodium chloride solution 2 ml was injected via the caudal vein at 15 min before the model was established.In group D,dezocine 1 mg/kg (diluted to 2 ml in 0.9％ sodium chloride solution) was injected via the caudal vein at 15 min before the model was established.At 24 h before operation (T0) and 2,6 and 24 h after operation (T1-3),the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and cumulative pain score were measured.After measurement of the pain threshold at T3,the whole brain was removed for determination of the c-fos expression in neurons in the midbrain periaqueductal gray by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with group C,the MWT was significantly decreased,cumulative pain scores were increased,and the expression of c-fos in neurons in the midbrain periaqueductal gray was upregulated at T1-3 in I and D groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group I,the MWT was significantly increased,the cumulative pain score was decreased,and the expression of c-fos protein in neurons in the midbrain periaqueductal gray was down-regulated at T1.3 in group D (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dezocine mitigates incisional pain through inhibiting the expression of c-fos in neurons in the midbrain periaqueductal gray of rats.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of pranoprofen drops on dry eye of patients with Sj(o)gren's syndrome (SS).Methods This is a prospective study.Sixty-eight inpatients with dry eye in our hospital were randomly divided into the experimental and control groups.Right eyes were taken for the trial,with 34 cases in each group.The experimental group was given pranoprofen eye drops combined with polyethylene glycol eye drops.Eyes of the control group were given polyethylene glycol drops only.Corneal fluorescein staining (FL),tear film breakup time (BUT) and Schirmer test (SIT) were tested before treatment and 1,2,4 weeks after treatment by the same care giver.The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in tears were detected by ELISA.Analysis of variance of repeated data and t test were used for statistical analysis.Results The difference of FL,BUT,SIT and content IL-6 and TNF-α in tears in the experimental group patients before treatment and 1,2,4 weeks after treatment were signifcant (F=4.65,7.53,6.43,9.96,10.87; P＜0.05),which were statistically significantly different between the experimental group and the control group patients (F=3.27,5.85,4.36,8.36,7.23; P＜0.05).One week after treatment and before treatment,the difference of BUT and SIT of the two groups was not statistically significant (P＞0.05),those of the 2 weeks after treatment were statistically significantly different [BUT of the experimental group was (11.1±2.5) s,BUT of the control group was (9.7±1.9) s,t=2.594 8,P＜0.05; the SIT of the experimental group was (7.3±1.7) mm,the SIT of the control group was (5.9±1.7) mm,t=3.571 8,P＜0.05].BUT of the two groups at 4 weeks after treatment was statistically significantly different [BUT of the experimental group was (14.4±2.8) s,BUT of the control group was (11.4±2.6) s,t=4.469 4,P＜0.05; the SIT of the experimental group was (9.9±2.1) mm,the SIT of the control group was (8.7±1.9) mm,t=2.568 0,P＜0.05].The difference of FL and IL-6 and TNF-α in tears pretreatment between the two groups was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).At week 1,2,4 after treatment,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (tFL=4.173 9,3.190 7,4.072 6; tIL-6=2.131 5,2.316 4,5.310 1; tTNF-α=2.216 4,4.871 9,8.175 0; P＜0.05).No significant discomfort and side effects were observed in the two groups.Conclusion Pranoprofen drops can significantly improve symptoms of dry eye in patients with pSS,in particular,the repair of the cornea,may be related to the inhibition of the expression of ocular inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α,and thus reduce the ocular surface inflammatory reaction.
