Objective:To observe the repairment effects of vascular pediceled nervous tissue on adult rat's spinal cord injury. Method:A 5mm cord defect of the left lateral column was made at Ti-3 vertebral level,and then the defect was grafted randomly using vascdarized peripheral nerve (Group VPN),embryonic day 14 fetal spinal cord(Group FSC) or vascular pediceled peripheral nerve and fetal spinal cord(Group V + F).8 weeks after surgery, the survival,differentiation of the grafts, and the ability of repaired host spinal cord were assessed. Result: In VPN-FSC co-graft group, peripheral nerve segment was extensively vascularized and well innervated,plenty of Schwann cells survived and proliferated. In this group, anti-NF, S-100 positives fibers were significantly greater than group VPN (P<0.01). The fetal implant was intimately fused with the host CNS parenchyma, the volume, nerve fibers and neurons density of the fetal implant were significantly higher than Group FSC(P<0.01). The majority of neurons in this group were well differentiated, well-developed and synapses were scattered throughout the neuropil. SEP assessments showed that the latgncy of P1 ,N1 wave was significantly decreased in this group (P<0.01).Conclusion:The vascular pediceled peripheral nerve could prompt the development of fetal implant and support the regeneration of central injured axons to certain degrees.

Aim: To study the effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields(PEMF) stimulation on the repair of rats grafted sciatic nerve. Methods: One hundred Wistar rats were classified randomly into two groups, a control group (group A, n = 50) and a PEMF group(group B, n = 50). The biological effect of the grafted nerve, the relative lumbar spinal cord and one of the ending organs - triceps muscle was studied at the same time. Results: The neuron's vitality in lumber spinal cord had been stimulated in the PEMF- treated rats. The Wallerian degeneration of the nerve distal to the grafted was accelerated after PEMF stimulation. The increased regeneration of the nerve was found throughout 16 weeks recovery period in PEMF group. Application of PEMF had decreased the atrophy of the triceps muscle caused by denervation and promoted its functional recovery. Conclusion: PEMF stimula- tion may enhance the regeneration of the injured peripheral nerve.

Objective To study the effect of the neck rotation and lateral bending on the vertebral artery blood flow, and to analyze the relationship between the artery blood flow and cervical vertigo. Methods Thirty patients with cervical vertigo were studied with exclusion of auditory vertigo and severe cardio-cerebrovascular disease, which involved 18 males and 12 females, whose average age was 52.13 years with a range of 42-73 years. They all had cervical degenerative change in different degree and neck-shoulder-back pain history. The study also included 15 volunteers without vertigo, 8 males and 7 females, the average age was 49.47 years with range, 38-70 years, they also had some cervical degenerative change. They were selected to detect the blood flow of bilateral intracranial segments of the vertebral arteries using TCD with the neck in neutral, bilateral rotation 15?,30?,45?,60? and bilateral bending. Results In neutral position, vertebral artery blood flow was lower in study group than in control(P

Objective:To explore the value of clinical pharmacists in the anti-infection practice for a patient with lupus nephritis complicated with community-acquired pneumonia(severe). Methods:Clinical pharmacists carried out medication monitoring in the entire treatment process of a patient with lupus nephritis complicated with community-acquired pneumonia( severe)in the clinical front line. Depending on the pharmaceutical knowledge,clinical pharmacists assisted physicians to make out the optimal medication and ad-justed the medication according to the patient′s conditions. Results:Moxifloxacin and piperacillin sodium /tazobactam sodium could ef-fectively control the severe pulmonary infection of the patient with lupus nephritis and avoid the potential risk of recurrence or aggrava-tion of lupus nephritis. Conclusion:The choice of antimicrobial agents for the special populations should consider not only the antibac-terial spectrum and antibacterial activity,but also the individual characteristics of patients and pharmacokinetics of drugs in order to im-prove the safety and effectiveness of medication.

Objective To retrospectively review the mortality and morbidity after orthopedic surgery for aged patients with reference to orthopedic version physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (O-POSSUM) and Portsmouth POSSUM (P-POSSUM) and validate the score' s accuracy in operative risk prediction.Methods O-POSSUM and P-POSSUM for mortality and morbidity were applied to 839 aged patients who had undergone orthopedic surgery between January 2008 and December 2011.Observed mortality and morbidity were compared with the expected values.Results O-POSSUM predicted 230 morbidities,but the observed value was 182 (x2 =2.718,P > 0.05).O-POSSUM predicted 46 deaths,higher than the observed 3 deaths (x2 =38.870,P<0.01).P-POSSUM predicted 16 deaths,higher than the observed 3 deaths (x2 =8.997,P < 0.01).Conclusions O-POSSUM accurately predicts postoperative morbidity in aged orthopedic patients.However,O-POSSUM and P-POSSUM overpredicts the mortality and should be used with caution.

Results The expression level of m3AChR-G11 was 7. 76 ? 10 -9 mol?g -1. The affinity of GDP to G11 partner changed in the presence of different muscarinic ligands. IC50 values of GDP in the presence of ACh,Pilo,CCh,MCN-A-343,Atro,4-Damp and Dafi were 82. 2,93. 70,12. 10,14. 30, 1. 93,1. 37,0. 72 ? 10 -6 mol ? L -1 respectively,and that in the absence of muscarinic was 1. 99 ? 10 -6 mol ?L-1.Concluslons The m3AChR-G11 fusion protein has the pharmacological specificity of m3 receptor and the efficient coupling interaction of the two partners. Affinity of GDP to ligand-bound fusion protein represents the species of muscarinic ligands. This is helpful in screening and detecting the new specific ligands to muscarinic receptors.
