Objective To investigate the effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on neurogenesis in after bilateral common carotid artery occlusion in adult rats. Methods Fifteen adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operation, 2-vessel occlusion (2VO) and T3 intervention groups (n = 5 in each group ). A chronic cerebral ischemia model was established by the bilateral common carotid artery permanent ligation. Seven days after modeling 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) was injectied intraperitoneally and the new proliferating cells were labeled. The BrdU positive cells in SVZ were observed using immunofluorescence staining.Results The numbers of BrdU positive cells in the sham operation, 2VO, and T3 intervention groups were 174. 8 ± 18. 5, 325.0 ± 51.0, and 499. 4 ± 30. 8, respectively. There were significant differences among all the groups (F = 101.68, P < 0. 001 ). The numbers of BrdU positive cells in the T3 intervention group were significantly higher than those in the 2VO and sham operation groups (all P <0. 001 ). The numbers of BrdU positive cells in the 2VO group were also significantly higher than those in the sham operation group (p <0. 001). Conclusions Thyroid hormones may promote neural progenitor cell proliferation in SVZ in adult 2VO rats.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) with flexible bone cement injector through unilateral puncture. Method Unilateral puncture line PVP treatment for thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture was conducted in 78 patients, which was divided into observation group and control group according to the use of different equipment. The flexible bone cement injector was used in 36 cases of observation group, which injected the bone cement into three places at the vertebral body. The ordinary straight bone cement injector was applied in the 42 cases of the control group. The operation time, the time of radiation exposure, and the amount of bone cement injection were recorded, and the leakage of bone cement was observed. The visual analogue scale (VAS), relative vertebral height and Cobb angle were recorded at 1 week, 1 and 2 years follow-up. The time of operation, the time of radiation exposure, the amount of bone cement injection, the incidence of bone cement leakage, VAS, relative height of vertebral body and Cobb angle were compared between the two groups using independent samples t test orχ2 test. Result All patients in the two groups were successfully treated by surgery. There were no significant differences between the observation group and the control group in the operation time and the time of radiation exposure and the incidence of bone cement leakage (P>0.05). The injection amounts of bone cement in the observation group and the control group were (5.6 ± 0.7) and (3.2 ± 0.6) ml, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in VAS score, relative vertebral height and Cobb angle between the two groups at 1 week after operation (P>0.05). At 1 year and 2 years after operation, the differences of the above indexes between the two groups were significantly different (P<0.05), with the observation group being superior to the control group. Conclusions Application of flexible bone cement injector for PVP operation is safe and feasible. Compared with the traditional straight bone cement injector, the use of flexible bone cement injector will not increase the operation time, radiation exposure time and the incidence of bone cement leakage but will improve the long-term effect.

Objective To investigate the surgical correction of alar deformity and repairing function of unilateral cleft lip in infant. Methods Millards procedure was used to incise skin, muscle and mucosa, correct the nasal deformity through lip. At the normal side, ophthalmic scissors was applied to incise lips muscle and skin, and reach the deep level of the base of nasal pillor, cut the abnormal attachment between the orbicular muscle of mouth and anterior nasal spina, and sharp dissect cartilage and skin in nasal wing through deep level of nasal pillor. At the cleft side, the abnormal muscle branch was cut that attached at the down side of the base of nose and pyriform aperture, the tissue between nasal base and lip, maxilla relaxed, and the cartilage and skin in the nasal wing at the same side dissected. The deform cartilage was repairied as the same of normal side. After the rehabilitation of cartilage of nasal wing, the soft tissue at deep level was moved to normal location, but the deep level structure of nasal wing cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and nasal bone did not dissected. After the dissection of orbicular muscle of mouth, the muscle in nose and lip must be relaxed in illous side. The orbicular muscle of mouth was sewed under the condition of tensionless. The repairing of orbicular muscle of mouth will improve the balance of muscular strength around the nose. Thus, the deviation of nasal pillor was corrected and the base of nose repaired. Results Eighty cases of infant with unilateral cleft lip at the age of 3 months ~12 months, in which 11 cases were Ⅰ?,16 Ⅱ, and 3 Ⅲ?. Eighty cases were low grade alar deformity, and 13 middle grade deformity. After operation, 52 cases were better, 17 cases were good, and 11 cases were worse. The postoperational result was good. Conclusion While performing the cleft lip operation or Millard operation, the authors can correct the nasal deformity through lip. So, it is recommended that cleft lip and the alar deformity can be repaired at the same time.

AIM To study the effect of lidamycin on the expression of genes involved in invasion regulation in HCT-8 human colon cancer cells. METHODS HCT-8 human colon cancer cells were treated with lidamycin (10 nmol*L-1) for 8 h. The effect of lidamycin on the expression of genes were detected by cDNA arrays, Northern blot and RT-PCR. RESULTS Hybridization of the entire cDNA populations to Atlas Arrays showed that lidamycin down-regulated the expression level of MMP-9 and up-regulated the expression level of TIMP-1. These changes were confirmed by Northern blot and RT-PCR. CONCLUSION The results indicate that lidamycin may exhibit its anti-invasive activity by inhibitting the production of type IV collagenase whilst enhancing the production of tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase.
