To cure one patient with spinal cord injury (SCI), who hospitalized for both legs couldn't moving for 21 years after external injury, by using the olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) transplant and acupuncture treatment. The patient was diagnosed as ischemic SCI (below the T11) according to the neurological test and MRI for dorsal vertebra. T11 spinous process was made to be the center mark through operation with the length of about 3 cm. The area between the atrophique spinal cord and normal spinal cord without vessel was selected and injected with OECs 0.5?109 L-1. Hemostasis, stitching, binging and fixation were performed respectively, and normal treatment was given by using antibiotics. At 14 days after operation, the temperature on skin increased a little, and acupuncture treatment and rehabilitation therapy were performed. The acupoints were as following: Baihui (DU21), Yintang (EX-HN3), Hegu (LI4), Zhongji (RN3), Guanyuan (RN4), Biguan (ST31), Fengshi (GB31), Futu (ST32), Dubi (EX-LE5), Zusanli (ST36), Xuehai (SP10), Yinlingquan (SP9), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Jiexi (ST41), Taixi (KI3), Fuliu (KI7), Taichong (LR3), and Shenmai (BL62). The treatment was given by mild reinforcing and attenuating with 30-minute retention. The rehabilitation: The needle pressing, manipulation for muscular atrophy, bicycle practicing, andimperative standing were performed. After 2 weeks, the skin temperature of the patient increased with obvious improvement in his right leg. The physical strength of the patient was reinforced with less perspiration, and the patient could walk 3 km without fatigue, which indicated that after OECs transplant, treatment with acupuncture, massage and other rehabilitation trainings could facilitated the improvement of SCI of the advance stage as well as the amelioration of muscular atrophy.

Objective: To explore the mechanisms of emodin in protecting intestinal mucosal barrier in rat with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods: Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operation group, untreated group, and emodin group. SAP in rats of the untreated group and the emodin group was induced by retrograde pumping of 3.0% sodium cholate to the common bile duct. Specimens were obtained 24 hours after the severe acute pancreatitis was induced. Serum level of leptin, serum activity of amylase and plasma content of endotoxin were measured. Ileum mucosa from ileocecal junction was observed by light microscopy and electron microscopy to measure pathological and ultrastructural changes. Apoptosis of ileum mucosal cells was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling method, and expression of Bax in ileum mucosal cells was measured by immunohistochemical method. Results: Compared with the sham-operation group, there was significant increase in the levels of leptin, endotoxin, the activity of amylase, apoptosis index and Bax expression in the untreated group (P<0.01). Compared with the untreated group, the level of endotoxin, apoptotic index and Bax expression level in the emodin group were significantly reduced (P<0.01) and the leptin level was increased (P<0.05). More severe pathological changes appeared in the untreated group than in the sham-operation group under the light and electron microscopes; meanwhile less severe damage was observed in the emodin group as compared with the untreated group. Conclusion: Emodin can inhibit the apoptosis of intestinal mucosa cells and up-regulate the serum leptin content to protect the intestina1 barrier function and prevent the translocation of bacteria and endotoxin.

Objective To explore and evaluate the clinical value of MRI for status of axillary lymph node after neoadju-vant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer. Methods Forty-four patients with 1ocally advanced breast cancer (LABC) were underwent NAC for four cycles. The longest diameter of axillary lymph node (ALN) measured by MRI scan. Val-ue of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and their correlation were compared before NAC and four cycles after NAC. Re-sults of MRI and pathological data for ALN were compared between two groups of patients. Results All patients finished four cycles of NAC. The total response rate (CR+PR) was 72.7% (32/44), and the total non-response rate (SD+PD) was 27.3%(12/44). The longest diameter of ALN was significantly shortened in response group. The longest diameter was (1.37± 1.06) cm before NAC and (0.90±0.76) cm after NAC (P<0.01). The ADC value of the tumor was significantly increased in re-sponse group [(0.91±0.28) ×10-3 mm2/s before NAC and (1.01±0.32)×10-3 mm2/s after NAC, P<0.01)]. There was no signifi-cant correlation between ADC value change (△ADC) and the longest diameter change of ALN (△L, r=0.131, P=0.413). The sensitivity, specificity and Kappa value of ALN evaluation after NAC were 100%, 62.5%and 0.68 measured by MRI. Con-clusion The change of tumor longest diameter reflects the effect of chemotherapy directly. The tumor ADC value of MRI can not be used as an independent indicator of chemotherapy effect of ALN, eventhouth MRI was the sensitive index for eval-uating the status of axillary lymph node after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.
