BACKGROUND:LIM mineralization protein-1 (LMP-1) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) as intracelular proteins can induce osteogenic differentiation and promote angiogenesis, respectively. Therefore, their combination is of great significance for effectively inducing the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cels.
OBJECTIVE:To study the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cels transfected by lentivirus vector carrying LMP-1 and HIF-1α.
METHODS:Reverse transcription-PCR technology was employed to clone LMP-1 and HIF-1α genes, and thegenes were cloned to lentivirus vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1 to construct main lentiviral vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg-RLMP-1 and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1-RHIF-1α. Then, Lenti-X 293T cels were transfected with main vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg-RLMP-1 and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1-RHIF-1α, packaging plasmid and coated plasmid. After that, lentiviral vectors were packaged to transfect adipose-derived stem cels from rats that were obtained by tissue explants culture and enzyme digestion methods. At 3, 7, 14 days after transfection, reverse transcription-PCR technology was adopted to detect the expression of osteogeic genes, such as bone morphogenetic protein 2, Runx-2, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin as wel as to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Lentiviral vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg-RLMP-1 and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1-RHIF-1α were effectively transfected into adipose-derived stem cels. Reverse transcription-PCR results showed that from the 7th day to the 14th day after lentivirus transfection, bone morphogenetic protein 2, Runx-2, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin al over-expressed. These findings indicate that the combination of LMP-1 and HIF-1α can enhance the osteogenic activity of adipose-derived stem cels.

BACKGROUND: There are pressure sensors in carotid-sinus, which are very sensitive to blood pressure regulated by ions and play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure. But it is yet not very clear how different ions regulate the blood pressure through pressure sensors in carotidsinus.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of different ions at various concentrations outside the carotid-sinus.DESIGN: Self-control experiment.SETTING: Preclinical Experiment Center, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was accomplished in the Preclinical Experiment Center, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from December 2000 to June 2001. Totally 18 New Zealand pure strain rabbits were provided by the Aninal Experimenting Center of Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. They were standard grade Ⅱ, of either gender and body mass was (2.0±0.2) kg.METHODS: The rabbits were divided into Na+, K+ and Ca2+ groups according to random numbers, and each group consisted of 6 rabbits. After anaesthesia, tracheal intubatton was performed on the rabbit, and bilateral carotid arteries were separated with carotid-sinus separated on one side and vessel intubatton performed in the other side for blood pressure measurement. Then various concentrations of Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ions were added outside the carotid-sinus with the pipette to make the carotid-sinus completed immersed in the ion solutions. The basal blood pressure and the peak value after ions addition were recorded respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The basal blood pressure and the peak value after ions addition.RESULTS: After Na+ (0.15, 1.5 mol/L) was added the blood pressure was(97±12), (83±17) mm Hg. It was decreased significantly compared with the basal value (106±14), (105±12) mm Hg (t=2.946, P ＜ 0.05). K+ (0.4 mol/L)decreased the blood pressure significantly [(106±12), (64±13) mm Hg, (t=13.496, P ＜ 0.01)], but other concentrations of K+ were not effective. Ca2+(0.07 mol/L) increased the blood pressure to (113±16) mm Hg compared with the basal value (103±12) mm Hg (t=-3.627, P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Na+, K+ and Ca2+ regulate the blood pressure by acting on the carotid-sinus directly. High concentrations of Na+ and K+ possess the effect of decreasing the blood pressure, while high concentrations of Ca2+increases it, which may be an important mechanism of blood pressure regulation.

Objective To describe the clinical manifestation of the chronic atlantoaxial rotatory dislocation (AARD) with C1,2 lateral facets locked,and explore the effect of the operation combined with anterior retropharyngeal approach and posterior approach.Methods Data of 8 patients with chronic AARD with C1,2 lateral facet locked who had undergone open reduction with the anterior retropharyngeal approach and C 1,2 transpedicular screw fixation with autologous iliac bone graft from Oct.2010 to Jun.2013 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 4 males and 4 females with an average age of 31 years old (range,11-57 years old).The intervals from onset to diagnosis were from 29 to 180 days and the mean time was 70.6 days.5 cases were chronic AARD with right C1,2 lateral facets locked and 3 with left C1,2 lateral facets locked.Reduction was failed to obtain by traction for two to four weeks.Subsequently,after open reduction with the anterior retropharyngeal approach,the patients were performed C 1,2 transpedicular screw fixation with autologous iliac bone graft for one stage or two.Results 1 patient underwent open reduction with the anterior retropharyngeal approach in stage one and C1,2 transpedicular screw fixation in stage two because of an overall severe condition,and the other patients did anterior and posterior operation in one stage.The average operation time was 205 min (range,160-260 min).The mean blood loss was 210 ml (range,100-300 ml).There were no operation complications except one young girl reflected pain in autologous iliac donated area,and pain relieved when taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory by oral for one week.All patients had been followed up for a mean period of 14.8 months (range,5-37 months).Three-dimensional computed tomography revealed C1,2 arthrodesis bone graft fusion from two to four months and the average was 3.1 months.Neither recurrence of symptoms nor dislocation was observed at the latest follow-up.Conclusion Open reduction through the anterior retropharyngeal approach with C1,2 transpedicular screw fixation is an effective treatment strategy for chronical AARD with C1,2 lateral facets locked,which reduces surgical complications with less operation difficulty.

Objective To summarize the experience of diagnosis and treatment of the duodenal polys.Methods 14 patients of duodenal polys admitted between 1987 and 2006 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Clinical manifestations were melena,epigastric discomfort, abdominal pain,weight loss and abdominal distention.The ratio of correct diagnosis were 60% with duodenal endoscopy,56% with upper gastrointestinal radiography and 44% with CT.Most duodenal adenomas located at the second portion of the duodenum.8 duodenal adenomas turned into carcinoma and 2 cases recured in a year after operation.Conclusion Duodenal endoscopy and upper gastrointestinal radiography were effective for diagnosis of duodenal polys.Endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)helps to improve the diagnosis of the leions in submucosa.It should pay attention to the treatment of doudenal adenomas actively.The surgery remained the mainstay of the treatment.It needed attention for the screening and treatment of the duodenal adenomas.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the combination of dexmedetomidine and sufentanil on monitoring anesthesia care during burr-hole surgery for patients with chronic subdural hematoma. Methods 96 pa-tients underwent burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma with MAC were randomly divided into two groups:Group D and Group DS (n=48 in each group). Local anesthetic block was started at least 10 min after DEX and sufentanil infusion. Ramsay sedation scale of the two groups was maintained to 3. Anesthesia onset time, hemo-dynamics, the amount of rescue midazolam or fentanyl, the time to first dose of rescue midazolam or fentanyl, the to-tal number of intraoperative patient movements, postoperative recovery time, patient and surgeon satisfaction scores, and the adverse events were recorded. Results Compared with group D, anesthesia onset time was significantly less in group DS (13.68 ± 3.13 vs. 11.82 ± 2.43 min, P=0.002). More patients in group D required rescue midazol-am to achieve RSS=3 compared with group DS (31.25%15/48 vs. 12.50%6/48, P=0.023). Compared with group D, significantly fewer patients in group DS required rescue fentanyl to relieve pain (10.42%5/48 vs. 27.08%13/48, P = 0.036). Additionally, the total dose of rescue fentanyl in group DS was significantly higher (89.48 ± 23.27 vs. 125.28 ± 33.52μg, P=0.000), and the time to first dose of rescue fentanyl was longer than group D(18.34 ± 4.45 vs. 14.34 ± 3.63 min, P=0.000). The total number of patient movements during the burr-hole surgery was higher in group D than group DS (35.42%17/48 vs. 16.67%8/48, P=0.036). The time to recovery for discharge from the PA-CU (time to an Aldrete score ≥ 9) was significantly shorter in group DS compared with group D (17.54 ± 5.92 vs. 12.57 ± 5.28 min, P=0.000). Results from the patient and surgeon satisfaction scores showed significant differenc-es favoring group DS (P<0.05). More patients in group D showed higher levels of the overall incidence of bradycar-dia (37.50% 18/48 vs. 18.75% 9/48, P = 0.041) and hypotension(37.50%18/48 vs. 14.58%79/48, P=0.011)com-pared with group DS. Conclusions Compared with DEX alone, DEX-sufentanil associated with fewer number of in-traoperative patient movements, less amount of rescue scheme, could be safely and efficiently used for MAC during burr-hole surgery for patients with chronic subdural hematoma.
