The theory of static and dynamic combination coincides with the effect of osteoblast stress, although there are few articles on molecular biology about the theory in recent years. The treatment of static and dynamic combination theory for fractures and other orthopedic disorders is to use the localized stress fracture, and the stress controls bone formation results through afffecting proliferation of osteoblast differentiation, which has proved by relevant experimental evidence. This article discussed the molecular biology basis about the correlation between theory of static and dynamic combination and osteoblast proliferation and differentiation by stress stimulation.

BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of modern society, psychological problems in college students have been paid high attention by educatienal organizations of psychological health in China. OBJECTIVE: To probe into the influencing factors of psychological problems in college students. DESIGH: Cluster sampling 1∶2 paired observation, case-control study. SETTING: Medical College of Wuhan Polytechnic University. PARTICTPANTS: 1 200 sophomores with the age ranged 19-20 years were selected from Wuhan Polytecnic University by cluster sampling at June 2001, and 145 students with the scores of more than 3 factors greater than 3 points were screened by Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) (including 9 factors of somatization, compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobia, paranoid and schizophrenia. The higher the grade was, the severer the symptom was) to be the psychological problem group. Subjects were selected to be the normal controls at the ratio of 1∶2 with those in the psychological problem group, whose classes, specialties and ages (the difference was less than 2 years) were similar to those of the enrolled patients. 290 students normal in the indexes of SCL-90 were taken as the matched group. Of all subjects in both experiment groups, there were 173 males and 262 females with an average age of 19.2 years. METHODS: ① The subjects in the two experiment groups were investigated of the psychological health by SCL-90 as well as the personality characteristics and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) (For Adult). The EPQ statistic software designed by the Institute for Juvenile and Children, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was adopted to acquire the E score (introversion, extroversion), N score (nervousness), P score (psychoticism), L score (conceal) and quantity form quadrant of E-N coordinate picture, so as to define the tendencies of characters. ② The psychological problem was considered to be the dependent variable, while all relevant factors (The influencing factors of psychological problem included the understanding from parents, relationship with family members, desire for learning, personality characteristics, over-high P score, over-high/low E score, over-high/low N score) were taken as the independent variable. Single-factor Logistic regression analysis was conducted at 1:2. ③ Based on 1:2 single-factor Logistic regression analysis, the variances were selected from factors of P < 0.01 together with the Logistic regression models of multifactor at 1:2 by stepwise regression method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison in the SCL-90 score between the psychological problem group and the normai control group. ② Single-factor and multivariate analysis of the relevant factors of psychological problems. RESULTS: A total of 435 enrolled students were involved in the analysis of results. ① The average score of somatization, compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobia, paranoid and schizophrenia in students of the psychological problem group was higher than that in the normal control group (t=-13.39, 29.64, 27.09, 26.04, 19.52, 18.13, 14.15, 18.61, 22.41, P< 0.01). ② Nine factors were selected in the single factor analysis after the Logistic regression analysis, including 6 protective factors of understanding from parents, relationship with family members, desire for learning, personality characteristics, E > 61.5, N < 38.5, while he other 3 factors (P > 61.5, E < 38.5, N > 61.5) were risk factors. The multivariate analysis showed that factors of relationship with family members, desire for learning as well as personality characteristics were protective factors, while it was a risk factor when N > 61.5.CONCLUSION: The psychological problems in college students relate to the relationship with family members,understanding from the parents, desire for learning as well as the character trait and personality characteristics.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Jin's three-needle therapy on post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and the effect on neuroelectrophysiology (event-related potentials). Methods: A total of 60 PSCI patients were selected and divided into a treatment group and a control group according to the method of random number table, with 30 cases in each group. The patients in the control group received routine treatment while the patients in the treatment group received additional Jin's three-needle therapy. The treatment for both groups lasted four weeks. Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scores as well as amplitude and latency of potential 300 (P300) were adopted to compare the between-group results before and after treatment. Results: Before treatment, there were no significant differences (all P>0.05) in MMSE and MoCA scores, P300 latency and P300 amplitude between the two groups. After 4 weeks of treatment, the MMSE and MoCA scores and P300 amplitudes were improved in both groups, and the P300 latencies became shorter. The results showed significant intra-group and between-group differences (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the routine treatment, Jin's three-needle therapy is effective for PSCI. The mechanism is probably through its regulation on the patients' neuroelectrophysiology.

BACKGROUND:Animal experimental studies have confirmed that cell transplantation,neurotrophic factor infusion or transplantation as well as other methods can alter the local environment of injured spinal cord and promote its partial function recovery. OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation for the treatment of the sequel of myelitis,and to explore whether it would promote the recovery of the spinal cord function. DESIGN:A non-randomized self-control study. SETTING:Ward of Second Department of Surgery of Taian Disabled Soldiers Hospital of Shandong Province. PARTICIPANTS:Thirty-two patients with obsolete myelitis,who come from all over China and suffered from disease for 0.5 to 7 years,admitted to our hospital between June 2004 and July 2007 were recruited in this study.The involved patients,including 21 males and 11 females,were aged 5-48 years.Their neurological functions were not obviously improved after various conventional treatments and limb function exercise.Meanwhile,various sensorimotors and autonomic nerve functional impairments were left.Among the patients,18 suffered from acute viral myelitis,8 from acute purulent myelitis and 6 from tuberculous myelitis.After onset,they were all given large doses of radiosonde, dexamethasone,anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drugs and various neurotrophic drugs.Twenty-six patients presented complete injury and six patients incomplete injury.Informed consent of treatment was obtained from each patient.The therapeutic protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the hospital.Embryonic olfactory bulbs were harvested from aborted embryo,which was donated voluntarily by the patients or their relatives. METHODS:Cells were isolated from embryonic olfactory bulbs,cultured and purified for 7 to 14 days,and finally they were digested into single-cell suspension.Under the surgical miscroscope,the cells were transplanted onto the regions which were above or below the spinal cord injury site.Two weeks to 2 months postoperatively,neurological function of spinal cord was assessed by using the American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)Scoring Standard formulated in 2000,and was compared to pre-operation function. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①Sensory function change.②Motor function change. RESULTS:Half a year to 2 years after olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation,the sensory and motor functions of 32 patients were all obviously improved(motor function:55.72?10.50 vs.51.53?13.41;light touch:69.53?11.68 vs. 63.06?15.98;pain sense:69.50?12.20 vs.64.03?15.0,all P

AIMTo investigate the effects of sodium sulfonate daidzein (SSD) on stress-induced gastric ulcer and explore its possible mechanism.
METHODSUsing exhausted swimming and counting the number of gastric ulcer to establish the model of stress-induced gastric ulcer. Mouse experience intraperitoneal injection of different doses of SSD and L-NAME, and NDP histochemical method was used to detect the changes of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) positive neurons in stomach.
RESULTSSSD had dose-dependent protective effect on gastric mucosa. L-NAME could prevent stress induced gastric lesion. After combined injection of L-NAME and effective dose of SSD, the protective effect of SSD on gastric mucosa was reinforced. The number of NOS ganglion was constant, and effective dose of SSD had slight effect on NOS-positive neurons in normal mouse while it decreased NOS positive neurons in per area and in per ganglia after stress.
CONCLUSIONThe increased nitric oxide (NO) leads to gastric ulcer during stress, SSD has protective effect on gastric mucosa and this effect may be mediated by inhibiting NOS and restricting the overproduction of NO during stress.

Bone marrow cells from 2 patients with panmyelosis leukemia were observed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),myeloperoxidase (MPO) and platelet peroxidase (PPO).A lot of immature cells were found in the granulocytic, monocytic,erythrocytic and megakaryocytic series.Their major morphologic characteristics were as follows. In the erythrocytic series, petaloid-like and ball-like structure appeared and their perinuclear cisters were wider. In the myelomonocytic series, nuclear-cytoplasmic organelle asynchrony could be seen makedly and the nucleus appeared fully mature, but the cytoplasm contained only a few organelles, and in some cells the organells were often locally distributed. In the megakaryocytic series, many micromegakaryocytes were seen. In this paper, the ultrastructura] changes of four kinds of cells and their relationship with erythro-leukemia are also discussed.

The sfa1 gene encoded a bifunctional enzyme with the activities of both alcohol dehydrogenase and glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.The gene disruption cassette produced by PCR using the same long oligonucleotides which comprise 19 or 22 nucleotides complementary to sequences in the templates(pUG6 and pUG66 marker plasmid)at 3' end and 45 nucleotides at 5' end that annealed to sites upstream or downstream of the genomic target sequence to be deleted.After two linear disruption cassettes with a Cre/loxP mediated marker were transformed into the cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae YS-1,the positive transformants were checked by PCR to correct the integration of the cassette and concurrent deletion of the chromosomal target sequence.Once correctly integrated into the genome,the select marker can be efficiently rescued by transformating the plasmid pSH47 into YS-1 and inducing the Cre expression with a Cre/loxP-mediated marker removal procedure.The expression of the Cre recombinase finally resulted in the removal of the marker gene,leaving behind a single loxP site at the chromosomal locus.The diploid mutant YS-1-sfa1 was generated,which could enhance the output of ethanol with 8.0% by shaking culture in flask compared with the original strain YS-1.
