There are two kinds of treatments on Alzheimer's disease (AD) rat by transplanting neural stem cells (NSCs),i.e.the replacing cell curing and the gene therapy.By replacing method,the AD rats showed signs of recovering to some extent on both histomorphology and behavior after transplanting NSCs into their brains.Transplanting NSCs along with the nerve nutrition factor (NTFs) showed better curative effects than NSCs transplantation alone.However,little is known about the molecular mechanism involving in the development of NSCs in vivo conditions.And the blindness of the treatment hindered the comparison of various affecting factors.The NSCs gene therapy is still in initial studying,with the effects of both cell replacement and gene therapy.This treatment genetically modified NSCs mainly by unitary nutrition fators such as nerve growth factor (NGF),brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF),and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF).And it was almost known nothing about the exogenous gene expression efficiency,the induce differentiation,the restore of function and security after genetically-modified NSCs transplanted into the AD rat brain.The detecting technology of NSCs transplanting curative effects of the AD rat is unitary at present.And the combined method is the developing trend,such as combining the immunohistochemical method with in vivo-tracking,and combining morphology index with the function index.

Objective To investigate the effects of using a catheter balloon to treat crieopharyngeal achala-sia in patients with brainstem lesions. Methods Thirty cases of dysphagia caused by brainstem lesions were diag-nosed as crieopharyngeal achalasia through videofluoroscopy of swallowing.The cases were divided into a treatment group and a control group randomly.The treatment group was treated with balloon dilatation and routine dysphagia re-habilitation training once daily,while the control group was treated with routine dysphagia rehabilitation training only.The treatment end point was either the patient resuming an oral diet or after 4 weeks of treatment.All eases were evaluated videofluoroscopically with a drinking test pre-and pest-treatment.Results After 10 to 24 balloon dilata-tions,10 of the 15 patients in the treatment group regained the ability to take solid food and water orally,thoush 2 of them could take pasty food only.Only 2 of the 15 patients in the control group regained the ability to take common food by mouth,though 5 of them could take pasty food.The other patients had no improvement.There wag a signifi-cant difference between the two groups.The cricopharyngeal aehalasia of 12 patients in the ffeatment group improved from incomplete relaxation/opening to complete relaxation/opening.Pooling and residue in the pyriform sinus or val-leculae was reduced and no misaspiration was observed.In the control group only 7 patients had some improvement.The mesn time for the bolus passing the pharynx after treatment was significantly shortened from 0.23 s to 0.15 s in the treatment group,but not significantly in the control group.Conclusions Catheter balloon dilatation is effective for cricopharyngeal achalasia caused by brainstem injury and is helpful for relieving the symptoms in the pharynx phase and the esophagus phase of dysphagia.
