Objective To compare the effects of resuscitation at pure oxygen environment(100% oxygen) or room air environment (21% oxygen) on the uhrastructure of cerebral cortical neurons in hypoxic neonatal rat.Methods Twenty Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats aged 7 days were divided into the pure oxygen environment (POE) and room air environment groups (RAE) after hypoxia,and each group was divided again into 24 h and 72 h subgroups.The pups were placed in an incubator containing 8% O_2 to be at acute hypoxia continued for 2.5 h.The pups were reoxygenated immediately after the above mentioned hypoxia.The pups of POE group were then placed in an incubator containing 100% oxygen and the flow time was 30 rain.The pups of RAE group were reoxygenated with room air in an incubator for 30 rain.According to the planned time points the pups were sacrificed and the brain was removed at 24 h and 72 h after treatment,respectively.The tissue of frontoparietal cortex of the fight cerebral hemisphere was prepared for transmission electron microscopic examination.Results In each reoxygenation group,edema was found in the neurons,neuropil and intercellular space.In the RAE 24 h group,the nuclear membrane in neurons was unclear,the amount of cell organelles was reduced,the mitochondria were swollen with damages of cristae.The rough endoplasmic reticulum was dilatated or vaeuolized and with reduction of ribosomes.The Golgi complex was vacuolized.The number of lysosomes was obviously increased.In the RAE 72 h groups,the changes were similar to those of the former group,but apoptotic-like nuclei and necrotic neurons were more frequently seen. The cellular damages of POE 24 h group were milder than those of RAE 24 h group. The mitochondria and rough endoplasmie reticulum were more abundant and showed less pathological changes in the POE 72 h group as compared with those of RAE 72 h group. Conclusion The rats of POE reoxygenation display milder ultrastructural damages, less apoptosis, necrosis and edema in cerebral neurons than those in rats after RAE reoxygenation.The protective effect of POE resuscitation on cerebral damage of hypoxic neonate rats is superior to that after RAE resuscitation. This hypoxic neonatal rat model may serve as a suitable animal model for research on cerebral cortex neurons caused by hypoxia.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expressions of maspin gene in colorectal membrane,and their roles in the occurrence,progression,metastasis and prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.Methods Immunohistochemistry technique was used to detect the expression of maspin in tissues of normal controls,adenoma,colorectal adenocarcinoma primary tumor,liver metastasis,lymph-node metastasis respectively.Results The expressions of maspin in normal controls,adenoma and colorectal adenocarcinoma primary tumor are down-regulated successively; the expression of maspin in colorectal adenocarcinoma with metastasis is lower than that in colorectal adenocarcinoma without metastasis(P＜0.05) ; the down-regulation of maspin expression is significantly correlated with the depth of invasion,differentiation,liver metastasis and lymph node metastasis of colorectal adenocarcinoma(P＜0.01,P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusion The down-regulation of expression of maspin probably plays an important role in the occurrence,progression and metastasis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.maspin is probable a predictive index for reflecting the metastasis of colorectal adenocarcinoma and provide a clue for early diagnosis of metastasis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

METHODS:A computer-based retrieve was performed in CNKI database and PubMed database for the articles on minimal y invasive total knee arthroplasty from 2003 to 2013. The key words of“minimal y invasive total knee arthroplasty, minimal incision total knee arthroplasty, computer navigated total knee arthroplasty, computer assisted total knee arthroplasty”in English and Chinese were put in the title and abstract. The articles on the minimal y invasive total knee arthroplasty and computer assisted total knee arthroplasty were included, and the old and repetitive articles were eliminated. Final y, 44 articles were included for review according to the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Knee joint diseases can seriously affect the life quality of the patients. Minimal y invasive total knee arthroplasty is a newly developed technique in recent ten years, which can provide a new choice for the patients. Studies have shown that minimal y invasive total knee arthroplasty has the advantages of reducing postoperative pain, decreasing the direct cost and fastening the recovery. The computer navigated total knee arthroplasty can make the force line more precise after replacement. But there exist many problems according to the reports at home and abroad, especial y the life and prosthesis and time for revision, those are the fatal factors for the patients. But minimal y invasive surgery is the developing trend of orthopedic surgery.

Objective:To investigate the effects of oxaliplatin (OXA) and teniposide (VM-26) on proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line BGC-823.Methods:MTT assay was used to examine the inhibition rate of cell growth when cells were treated at various concentrations of OXA and VM-26 alone or in combination. The apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry (FCM). The protein expression of cell apoptosis associated proteins caspase-9 and livin were examined by immunocytochemistry. Results:OXA or VM-26 effectively inhibited the growth of BGC-823 gastric cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner at certain range of concentrations. The inhibitory rate of combined treatment with OXA and VM-26 was significantly higher than that of OXA or VM-26 alone (P<0.05). The value of combination index (CI) was 0.46. The rate of apoptosis cells induced by 1.25 μg/mL OXA was 6.13%, 13.86% and 21.48% at 12, 24 and 48 h. The apoptosis rate induced by 0.625 μg/mL VM-26 was 4.60%, 10.72% and 17.07% for 12, 24 and 48 h. In combined treatment group the apoptosis rate was 11.73%, 24.14% and 44.75% at 12, 24 and 48 h, respectively. The difference was significant between combined treatment group and single drug treatment group (P<0.05). Immunnocytochemical analysis showed that the expression of caspase-9 protein was up-regulated after being exposed to OXA (1.250 μg/mL) or OXA plus VM-26 (0.750 μg/mL), while the expression rate of livin protein was down-regulated. There were significant differences among different treatment groups as well as between treatment groups and control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:OXA combined with VM-26 has synergistic effects in inhibiting the growth and inducing apoptosis of gastric cancer BGC-823 cells.
