Objective To investigate the influence of different doses of flurbiprofen axetil on neurological behavior in CCI rats.Methods All SD rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups:control group(C group),operation but without CCI,n=5;CCI group,without injection,n=5;flurbiprofen axetil (FA) group,different doses of flurbiprofen axetil were intraperitoneally administered every 12 hours for 7 days beginning on postoperative 6 hours in CCI rats (FA1 group:2mg/kg,FA2 group:4mg/kg,FA3 group:8mg/kg,FA4 group:16mg/kg),5 rats in each subgroup.The thermal withdrawal latency(TWL) and mechanical withdrawal threshold(MWT) were tested on preoperative 1,3,5 and 7 days and postoperative 1,3,5 and 7 days.Results Firstly,compared with C group[TWL:(12.396±1.144)s;MWT:(12.801±0.494)g],the TWL and MWT of CCI and FA groups[TWL:(5.645±1.144)s,(5.901±0.914)s,(6.300±0.835)s,(7.631±0.597)s,(7.894±0.526)s;MWT:(5.14±0.71)g,(5.28±0.60)g,(6.74±0.50)g,(6.74±0.25)g,(6.70±0.42)g]were significantly declined after surgery (tTWL=26.973,31.047,31.176,30.373,30.772;tMWT=44.192,48.132,51.136,54.326,46.937,all P<0.05),and the TWL and MWT of FA groups significantly improved with the doses from 2mg/kg to 16mg/kg of flurbiprofen axetil[TWL:the minimum (5.030±0.240)s,the maximum (8.300±0.430)s;MWT:the minimum (4.56±0.14)g,the maximum (7.11±0.20)g].Secondly,there were no statistically significant differences in TWL and MWT between CCI group and FA1 group(all P>0.05).However,the TWL and MWT of FA2 group,FA3 group and FA4 group[TWL:(6.300±0.835)s,(7.631±0.597)s,(7.894±0.526)s;MWT:(6.74±0.50)g,(6.74±0.25)g,(6.70±0.42)g] increased significantly compared with CCI group(tTWL=-3.768,-11.569,-13.867,tMWT=-3.898,-15.233,-14.801,all P<0.05).Thirdly,there were no statistically significant differences in TWL and MWT between FA3 group and FA4 group (all P>0.05).Conclusion Over 4mg/kg of flurbiprofen axetil can significantly reduce the thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia in CCI rats,however,there is a ceiling effect of flurbiprofen axetil,and the dosage of 8mg/kg can provide a maximum analgesic effect.

Objective To evaluate the role of radiotherapy in the management of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Methods Between 1995 and 1999, 18 patients with pathologically confirmed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans were retrospectively analyzed. Nine patients were referred to our hospital for primary treatment and the remaining 9 patients came with recurrent disease. Fifteen of 18 patients received surgery followed by radiotherapy. Among them, 14 patients underwent complete resection and 1 partial resection. Majority of patients received 50～60 ?Gy. One patient received 37.5 ?Gy because he refrained from further treatment. Two patients received 52 ?Gy and 50 ?Gy due to unresectable extensive lesion. One of 18 patients was treated by total resection alone.Results The median of follow up time was 26 months with a range of 0.5～5 years. Sixteen patients (8.9%) are disease free. One patient developed local recurrence and one died of malignant progression. These two patients were treated with radiotherapy alone or surgery only. The local control rates were 100% (15/15) for patients who were treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Conclusions Postoperative radiotherapy is able to decrease the local recurrence rate in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

Objective To study the effect and mechanism of gastric bypass surgery on type 2 diabetic rats.Methods The models of type 2 diabetic rats were induced by stretozotocin and 20 diabetic rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:diabetes-operation group (DO group,n =10)and diabetes-control group(DC group,n =10).20 normal rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:normal-operation(NO group,n =10) and normalcontrol group(NC group,n =10).Rats in DO and NO group underwent GBP and rats in DC group and NC group underwent sham operation.Fasting blood glucose(FBG) levels of rats in each group were detected before operation and on 72 h,1th week,4th week,8th week after operation.On the 8th week after operation,pancreas tissues were harvested for HE staining and immunofluorescence,histological changes observed.Results The FBG levels of rats were not statistically significant different before operation between DO group and DC group or between NO group and NC group (P ＞ 0.05).After operation,the FBG levels of rats in DO group gradually declined (P ＜ 0.05).FBG levels of rats in DO group were lower after operation than before operation(P ＜0.05) ; After operation FBG levels of rats were higher in DO group than in NO group and NC group at the same time point (P ＜0.05).In DC group,the difference of FBG levels of rats at different time point was not statistically significant(P ＞ 0.05).The difference of FBG had no statistically significance between the different time points of the same group or between the same time point of different groups (P ＞ 0.05).HE staining showed that,in DO group,newborn small islets appeared in pancreas which increased the number of islet.The new islets were smaller,mostly around the pancreatic duct and the structure was similar to that of the normal islets.Immunofluorescence staining also showed that the number of islets increased.Insulin immunofluorescence found more isolated small islets composed of two or three insulin positive cells.Insulin and glucagon double immunofluorescence found insulin and glucagon double positive(INS +/GLU +)cells in some islets.Conclusions GBP has obvious hypoglycemic effects on FBG levels of type 2 diabetic rats,in which the regeneration of pancreas islets may play an important role,while on normal rats GBP has no hypoglycemic effects.

Objective]To investigate the thought of manipulating The Three Blood Statsis Removal Decoctions(Taohe Chengqi Decoction, Di Dang Decoction, Di Dang Pills) of ZHANG Zhongjing.[Method]Collect and analyse the explanations of the scriptures involving the Three Blood Statsis Removal Decoctions of ShangHanLun interpreters from past to nowadays, combine with the theory said in Huang Di Nei Jing, knowledge of exegetics and personal view, in order to summarise the original intention of manipulating the Three Blood Statsis Removal Decoctions by ZHANG Zhongjing. [Result] The main purpose of Taohe Chengqi Decoction is to purge heat, since heat is the main reason of stagnation of blood. It applies to the preliminary stage of combination of heat and blood clot. The main purpose of Di Dang Decoction is to attack the rigid blood-heat stagnation in lower-energizer, it is applied to the late stage of combination of heat and blood clot. Di Dang Pill is the milder prescription of Di Dang Decoction, which is applied to the milder situation of blood-heat combination. [Conclusion]Comparing the Three Blood Statsis Removal Decoctions,“ Superficial”and“ deep”words should be used to differentiate the application of Taohe Chengqi Decoction and Di Dang Decoction, while“ light”and“ severe”words should be used to differentiate that of Di Dang Decotion and Di Dang Pills.

Objective: To research the application of perspective imaging of intense laser proton beam in tumor cells, experi-ments are carried out on an ultra-intense picosecond pulsed laser facility, and the results of perspective imaging on biological samples by high energy proton beam, which is excitated among the interaction of picosecond laser with solid target, is showed. Methods: The laser energy is 12 J, the pulse width of laser is 1.5 ps, the laser focal spot diameter is 15 μm, the coefficientf or the off-axis paraboloid lens is 1.5. The target used in the experiment is made by coating a CH film with 1 μm on the back of the 15 pan-thick Cu. The distance between the proton source (laser spot) and the ant sample is 7 mm (i.e. the object distance), the distance between the sample and the RC film is 63 mm (i.e. the image distance). The detector is a stack of RCF or CR-39 films. Results: The ant is taken as the sample, a high energy proton beam, which is excitated as above on the rear surface of target, makes a 2-dimensional perspective imaging of an ant with high contrast, nanometer spatial resolution and density reso-lution. Conclusions: The result provided possibility of the application of perspective imaging of intense laser proton beam in tumor cells.

Objective In our previous work, the prevalence of anti-endothelial cell antibodies(AECA) in patients with systemic vasculitis and other autoimmune diseases was analyzed. AECA against a 47 000 endothelial cell antigen was found in patients of a variety of systemic vasculitis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It was suggested to be α-enolase by the combination of immunoblotting and proteomics methods. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that α-enolase is one of the targets of AECA, and to detect the prevalence of anti-α-enolase antibody in sera of patients with autoimmune disorders including systemic vasculitis. Methods The CDS of human Enol gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), with template of human placenta λzap express Cdna library. The product was then recombined with expression vector. After expression and purification from E.coli, the recombinant protein was analyzed by mass spee-trometry. The prevalence of anti-α-enolase antibody in patients with autoimmune disorders including systemic vasculitis was tested by Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The CDS of human Enol gene was subcloned to the expression vector. Recombinant human α-enolase was expressed and purified in E.coli. The recombinant protein was demonstrated to be his-tagged human a-enolase by mass spectrometry. Results of Dot-Blot revealed that the prevalence of anti-α-enolase antibody was 76.7% in systemic vasculitis [including 74.0% in Behcet's disease (BD), 81.5% in Takayasu artefitis (TA), 62.5% in Wegener's granulomatosus (WG), 92.3% in microscopic polyangitis (MPA) and 80.0% in Churg-Stranss syndrome (CSS)], 78.3% in SLE, 63.6% in Sjogren's syndrome (SS) and 78.9% in rheumatoid arthritis(RA). No positive signals were detected in sera of normal controls or patients with polymyositis/ dermatomyositis (PM/DM). There was no statistical significance among positive rates of anti-α-enolase antibody in systemic vasculitis, SLE, SS or RA patients. The prevalence of positive signals at the most extensive level (+++～++++) was 51.7% in patients with systemic vasculitis, 33.3% in SLE, 42.9% in SS and 20.0% in RA. There was statistical significant difference between RA and systemic vasculitis. Conclusion The identification of human α-enolase as one of the targets of AECA and its prevalence in a variety of autoimmune disorders will shed some light on the understanding of the pathogenesis of vascular injury in autoimmune diseases.

BACKGROUND: Quite a number of in vitro experiments indicate that low dose He-Ne laser can stimulate the cell growth and blood vessel regeneration therefore to improve the damages caused by ischemia. However, it needs further study on the in vivo experiments.OBJECTIVE: To study the protective effects of intravascular low dose laser irradiation to ischemic reperfusion of rats and explore its mechanism.DESIGN: A randomised and controlled trial based on experinental animals.SETTING: Department of Neurology of a hospital of a university.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Surgery Experimental Animal Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Healthy male SD rats of class Ⅱ which aged between 5 to 6 months with weight of 372 to 418 grams[mean weight(388.48 ± 10. 57) g] were provided by Animal Research Center of Sichuan University.INTERVENTIONS: Middle cerebral artery ischemia model of rats was prepared. Forty SD rats were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with each of 20 rats. Intravascular low dose He-Ne laser irradiation was conducted to rats in treatment group one time every other day, 20 minutes per time and 3 times for a course. Vein puncture was conducted to rats in control group without laser input.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Ratio of infarcted volume RESULTS: The ratio of the cerebral infarction volume in treatment group was (10.43 ± 1.04) and is much lower than that of control group(16.78 ± 1.12).There was statistical difference between two groups( t = 27.14, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Intravascular low dose He-Ne laser irradiation has protective effects to cerebral ischemia of rats.

BACKGROUND: Peripheral nerve injuries are hoped to promote the regeneration of nerve repair by elevating brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentration in local injury regions. OBJECTIVE: To observe the recanalization of nerve fiber and motor function in sciatic nerve injury rats following BDNF gene-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized, controlled animal study was performed at the Fujian Institute of Neurology from May 2007 to May 2008. MATERIALS: Femur and tibia of F344 male rats aged 2 months were sterilely harvested to prepare BMSCs. BDNF gene-modified BMSCs were prepared using constructed chronic viral vector PNL-BDNF-IRES2-EGFP. METHODS: The right sciatic nerve injury models were made using 60 adult Sprague Dawley rats. All models were randomly assigned into phosphate buffer saline (PBS) group, BMSC group and BDNF gene-modified BMSC group. 2 ?L BPS, 2 ?L BMSC solution and 2 ?L BDNF modified BMSC solution were separately transfered into injury site of each group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The retrograde horseradish peroxidase tracing was practiced to observe neural cell number in the Lumbar 4 and 5 spinal cord anterior horn at 2 and 4 weeks after microinjection. Sciatic nerve function index was used to observe rat motor function of injured limbs. Fluorescence excitation and immunohistochemistry were employed to detect BMSC survival and BDNF expression. RESULTS: Cell number was more, and nerve function recovery was better in the Lumbar 4 and 5 spinal cord anterior horn in the BDNF gene-modified BMSC group than in the PBS and BMSC groups. BMSC survival was found in the injured sites in the BMSC and BDNF gene-modified BMSC groups. BDNF expression was significantly more in the BDNF gene-modified BMSC group than in the BMSC group. CONCLUSION: BDNF gene-modified BMSCs have promotion effects on the recanalization and functional recovery of nerve fiber following peripheral nerve injury.

Objective To determine the relationship between serum interferon-inducible T cell alpha chemoattractant(I-TAC)levels and disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods Serum level of I-TAC was measured by sandwich ELISA.Results①Serum level of I-TAC was significantly increased in patients with SLE as compared with controls,and significantly higher in patients with active SLE than those of the inactive.Serum level of I-TAC showed significant positive correlation with disease activity,erythrocyte sedimetation rate(ESR),logarithm of serum ANA titer,and negative correlation with serum C3levels.②Serum level of I-TAC was significantly higher in patients with renal involvement than those without renal diseases.Conclusions These results suggest that I-TAC might be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE,and its serum level might be used as a good indicator for the disease activity of SLE and renal involvement.

16 ?g/mL, and ≤0.03 ?g/mL , respectively. The MICs did not show significant differences among the ungerminated conidia and the germinated conidia for all the isolates tested except A.versicolor and Phialophora verrucosa. Conclusions Terbinafine is effective against the isolates of Aspergillus spp., dematiaceous fungi and dermatophytes in vitro except Pseudallescheria boydii and Scedosporium apiospermum. The MIC of terbinafine obtained with ungerminated conidia may reflect the antifungal activity of terbinafine against germinated conidia and hyphae of some filamentous fungi in vitro.
