BACKGROUND: What kind of traumatic changes could be observed in remote lumbar spinal cord after high-speed steel ball induced sciatic nerve injury?OBJECTIVE: To study the ultra structural changes of lumbar spinal cord motor neurons after the sciatic nerve injury due to high-speed steel ball.DESIGN: Retrospective randomized controlled study with experimental animals as subjects.SETTING: The field operation research institute of a military medical university college.MATERIALS: This study was carried out at the Ballistic Laboratory of Research Institute for Surgery from May 2001 to December 2002. Sixty-five SPF flap-eared rabbits of either gender weighing from 2.5 to 3.0 kg were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Daping Hospital Affiliated to the Third Military Medical Univeristy of Chinese PLA. All the rabbits were divided randomly into normal control group( n = 5), firearms injury group (n = 30) and cutting injury group( n = 30) . The two latter groups were subdivided into one-day, three-day, one-week, two-week, 4-week and twelve-week groups with 5 rabbits in each group.METHODS: The rabbits in the firearms injury group were injured at the midpoint of lateral posterior body surface projection of the right sciatic nerve with 0. 38 g steel ball containing 0.65 g detonators. The right sciatic nerve was cut at the same injury level in the cutting injury group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The following pathologic changes of the lumbar spinal cord were observed with optical and electronic microscope at posttraumatic day 1, day 3 and week 1, week 2, week 4 and week 12 respectively.RESULTS: Micro-hemorrhage, neuron swelling and vacuoles were observed in the firearms injury group and the number of motor neurons decreased significantly, but these changes were unobservable in the cutting injury group.CONCLUSION: Compared with the cutting group, the injury to the spinal cord was severer in the firearms group and the survival neurons were less.

Objective To investigate the effects ofTongbicapsule on the knee joint function and the synovial fluid levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3,-9 in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods A total of 76 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group according to the random number table, 38 in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with glucosamine hydrochloride capsules, while patients in the observation group were givenTongbicapsule on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index was used to measure the knee joint function, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the synovial fluid levels of MMP-3 and MMP-9.Results The knee joint function in the observation group was significantly improved than that in the control group (94.74%vs. 78.95%;χ2=4.146, P<0.05). The synovial fluid levels of MMP-3 (67.58 ± 22.35 ng/mlvs.93.51 ± 27.84 ng/ml;t=4.477,P<0.01) and MMP-9 (36.24 ± 10.56 ng/mlvs.51.87 ± 12.35 ng/ml;t=5.930,P<0.01) in the observation group patients were significant lower than those in the control group after treatment.ConclusionsTongbicapsule was effective in treating knee joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, and its mechanism may be related to its reducing the synovial fluid levels of MMP-3 and MMP-9.

Objective To investigate the effect of the prescription of Yiqiyangyin Huoxuehuayu on the mice model with viral dilated cardiomyopathy by examining the levels of serum ?-IFN.Methods Replicated the animal models of early viral dilated cardiomyopathy by injecting the CVB3m virus to the peritoneal cavity of the Balb/c mice.Two hundred and ten Balb/c mice were divided into 4 groups at random:blank group,model group,high and low dose traditional Chinese medicine group.The blank group has 30 mice.The other three group has 60 mice each.The mice of high dose traditional Chinese medicine group and low dose traditional Chinese medicine group were treated with the prescription of Yiqiyangyin Huoxuehuayu.The change of pathomorphology in the cardiac muscle tissue,the rate of death,the weight change and the cardiac weight index were observed after 4 weeks of the treatment.At the same time,ELISA method was used to exam the levels of serum ?-IFN.Results The prescription of Yiqiyangyin Huoxuehuayu can induce the expression of serum ?-IFN in the mice with viral dilated cardiomyopathy.The mean level of serum ?-IFN of the high dose traditional Chinese medicine group and low dose traditional Chinese medicine group were significantly higher than that of the model group.Conclusions The prescription of Yiqiyangyin Huoxuehuayu can inhibit the viral replication and regulate the immunologic function.

Objective To verify the traditional serrated pathway by comparing microsatellite instability(MSI) status among traditional serrated adenoma, traditional adenoma, serrated colorectal cancer and non-serrated coloreetal cancer. Methods Seventy-five paraffin-embedded tissue samples, including 15 with serrated adeneearcinoma (Sca), 20 with non-serrated adenocareinoma (N-Sca), 20 with traditional serrated adenoma(TSA) and 20 with villous adenoma(AD) were collected from the pathology department of our hospital. Genomic DNA was extracted from these samples and then amplified with fluorescently-labeled primer specific for BAT25 and BAT26. The MSI status was detected with DNA automatic sequencer. Results Six of 18 samples with TSA harbored MSI-H and twelve MSI-L/MSS; 18 samples with conventional adenoma were exclusively of MSS; 3 of 13 samples of serrated carcinoma harbored MSI-H and ten MSI-L/MSS; 18 of 19 N-Sca samples harbored MSI-L/MSS and only one MSI-H. With Chi-square test, the MSI frequency in AD group and N-Sca group was significantly lower than that in TSA group and Sca group ( P < 0. 05 ) ; but with no statistical difference between the TSA group and Sca groups ( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion MSI-H frequency in AD group and N-Sca group was obviously lower than that of TSA group and Sca group. It is concluded that there might be a new traditional serrated neoplasia pathway which is different from the conventional adenoma-carcinoma carcinogenesis pathway, but we still need prospective follow-up studies to verify its existence.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of rAd-p53 injection on the proliferation,apoptosis and autophagy of nephroblas-toma cells. METHODS:Nephroblastoma cells were respectively cultured 20 h with high,medium,low concentration(1×109,1× 108,1×107 VP/mL)of Recombinant human rAd-p53 injection,cells with no injection were the blank control. Cell proliferation,cy-cle,apoptosis and related gene p21,Bax protein expressions were detected,and autophagy gene LC-3,Atg7,Atg12 expressions and number of autophagosomes were also detected. RESULTS:The proliferation inhibition rates of high,medium,low concentra-tion of Recombinant human rAd-p53 injection to nephroblastoma cells were(42.86±3.18)%,(33.64±7.25)%,(16.26±9.07)%;apoptotic rates were (53.85 ± 9.36)%,(37.35 ± 9.64)%,(23.64 ± 10.65)%,respectively. Compared with blank control,cells at period G0/G1 were increased under high,medium,low concentration Recombinant human rAd-p53 injection,effects were relatively obvious under high,medium concentration (P<0.05 or P<0.01);p21,Bax protein and LC-3,Atg7,Atg12 gene expressions were enhanced under high concentration,the number of autophagosomes was increased(P<0.01);Bax protein expression was en-hanced under medium concentration(P<0.05),the other indicators had no obvious changed(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Recom-binant human rAd-p53 injection can inhibit the cell proliferation of nephroblastoma,and induce its apoptosis and autophagy.
