Objective To explore the effect of human placenta lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and dexamethasone (DXM) on spontaneous resorption of herniated intervertebral disc. Methods The animal model of intervertebral disc herniation was set up by placing the harvested disc into the epidural space at L4 or L5 of the same rahbit. Then the 24 rabbits were randomly divided into three groups. In human placenta LPS group, rabbits were intraperitoneally injected 2ml of human placenta LPS at the second, 6th and 10th days after surgery. In DXM group, rahbits were intravenously injected 1mg/kg of DXM at the second to 15th days after surgery. In control group, rubbits were intravenously injected 3ml/kg of normal saline at the second to 15th days after surgery. All rahbits were killed, and herniated intervertebral disc was removed for histological and immunohisto- chemical examination at the 12th weeks after surgery. Results A great amount of newly formed vessles and inflammation cells were founded in the disc tissues in the LPS group. In the control group, a lot of granular tissues were founded in the disc tissues. In the DXM group, small amount of granular tissues were founded in the disc tissues. The expression levels of bFGF, CD68 and VEGF in the LPS group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P

Objective: To study the rehabilitation efficiency of adjuvant derma transplantation in treatment of front palate fistula. To find a better way to solve the problem of correcting the front fistula in short of the nearby tissue. Methods: Established the front fistula model in the oral and nasal cavity in the front of the palate with surgery. 30 Japanese big ear rabbits were divided into 2 groups. One month after operation, 15 rabbits were operated with the nearby tissue into the inner of nasal cavity and by transplanting their back skin while the others were treated only with the nearby tissues. The rehabilitation process and the histological changes of the palate were observed. Results: All dermal flaps survived after transplantation. This surgical method got a satisfying effect(P<0.05). The rate of success for correcting with single nearby tissues was lower. Conclusion: Adjuvant derma transplantation for rehabilitation of the front palate fistula is effective and reliable in the rabbits. The combination of the nearby tissue and homeochronous derma transplantation might be a good mode for correcting the front fistula in short of the nearby tissues.
