BACKGROUND:Lumbar fusion is a conventional effective measure to treat spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis or with deformity. Bilateral pedicle screw fixation is recognized as the standard treatment for various spinal disorders, and has biomechanical and clinical advantages. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of bilateral pedicle screw fixation in the repair of lumbar disc herniation to restore disc height from the angle of imaging. METHODS: Clinical data of 42 patients with lumbar disc herniation were retrospectively analyzed. They al received bilateral pedicle screw fixation. Pain was evaluated before implantation, immediately and 1 month after implantation using Japanese Orthopaedic Association score of lower back pain and visual analog scale score. X-ray including anteriorposterior and lateral films of lumbar spine and MRI were used. CT was utilized to verify screw placement conditions and complications. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 42 patients were folowed up for 3-6 months. Compared with pre-implantation, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and visual analog scale score were significantly improved immediately after implantation (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in Japanese Orthopaedic Association score between 1 month and immediately after implantation (P > 0.05). The height of intervertebral discs was significantly higher immediately and 1 month after implantation than pre-implantation (P < 0.01). The symptoms were lessened after fixation in al cases, and their qualities of life elevated. At 1 month, X-ray films and CT images revealed that no screw loosening, breakage or displacement occurred. The height of intervertebral discs was perfectly restored. No adverse events appeared in patients. These data indicate that bilateral pedicle screw fixation for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation can effectively restore the height of intervertebral discs, improve clinical symptoms and have biological and clinical superiority.

BACKGROUND:Compared with traditional autogenous bone graft, composite, as the carrier of seed cells, possesses advantages of fewer traumas and no limitation of donor site in repairing bone defect.OBJECTIVE: To observe the ability of the composite of β-tricalcium phosphate artificial bone-hyaluronic acid-type I collagen (β-TCP/HA/COL-I), as induced bone marrow stromal cell (MSC) carrier, to repair rabbit radial defect, and the feasibility with the composite as bone substitute material.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Renmin HospitaL, Wuhan University.MATERIALS; The study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics Renmin Hospital, Wuhan University between September 2003 and July 2004. Thirty-one New Zealand big white rabbits, aged 6 months, with body mass of 1.5 to 2.0 kg were enrolled in this study. The rabbits were randomized into control group (n =4) and experimental group (n =27).METHODS : ①In vitro induction and culture of MSCs was performed on 31 white rabbits, and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) positive ratio of induced MSCs was observed. The structure of β-TCP/HA/COL-I was observed under scanning electron microscope. ② A 2 cm radial defect was created through operation. Eight weeks later, composites of β-TCP/HA/COL-I/MSCs were implanted into one side of rabbits in the experimental group, and autogenous bone was implanted into the other side. Rabbits in the control group were untouched. ③All the animals in the experimental group were randomly sacrificed at postoperative 4,8 and 12 weeks, 6 rabbits at 4 and 8 weeks, 15 at 12 weeks; Animals in the control group were sacrificed at 12 weeks. Gross observation, X-ray photographing, haematoxylin-eosin (HE) dyeing, and assessment of inorganic ingredient were performed. Osteogenic area and biomechanical tests were performed at 12weeks. Repairing effects on bone defect in each group were compared.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The ALP positive ratio of induced MSCs; The structure of composite ofβ-TCP/HA/COL-I;Gross observation; X-ray photographing; HE dyeing and assessment of inorganic ingredient; Osteogenic area and biomechanical tests.RESULTS: All the 31 rabbits entered the stage of result analysis. ① The ALP positive ratio of cells reached 75% after induction and culture. ② Scanning electron microscope observation showed that 3 kinds of materials with abundant cellular structure distributed evenly. ③ The osteogenic area at 12 weeks was (72.5±3.6)% and (76.7±6.2)% in the experimental group and autogenous group, respectively (P > 0.05). ④The maximum bending moment was (521.0±61.1) and (554.3±53.3)N·mm in the experimental group and control group, respectively; The maximum displacement at point of application of force was (0.816±0.071)and (0.870±0.103)respectively, without significant difference (P > 0.05). ⑤Inorganic ingredient in the composite was 75%, 57% and 42% at 4,8 and 12 weeks respectively, suggesting that the inorganic component in the material was gradually decomposed with the elongation of time. ⑥Results of gross observation,X-ray photographing, histopathological examination, biomechanical test showed that with the elongation of time, composite of β-TCP/HA/COL-I/MSCs could repair bone defect in the experimental group, while bone defect in the control group had not been repaired.CONCLUSTON: Composite of β-TCP/HA/COL-I /MSCs possesses the same effect on repairing bone defect as autogenous bone, so it may be used as autogenous bone graft substitute.

BACKGROUND:Stem cels are induced to differentiate into endothelial-like cels that can be used for the treatment of diabetic lower extremity vascular disease. However, it is unclear whether these endothelial-like cels can completely replace endothelial cels to improve vascular disease and what are the differences between endothelial-like cels and endothelial cels. OBJECTIVE:To explore the differences and similarities between endothelial-like cels and human umbilical vein endothelial cels in the aspects of morphology, function, and viability. METHODS:Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels and umbilical vein endothelial cels were isolated, cultured and identified using flow cytometry and immunohistochemical method. Isolated umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were induced in DMEM-LG/F12 containing 10 μg/L vascular endothelial growth factor, 10 μg/L basic
fibroblast growth factor and 2% fetal bovine serum to differentiate into endothelial-like cels folowed by immunohistochemical identification. To compare endothelial-like cels with human umbilical vein endothelial cels, cel migration detection, active substance measurement and three-dimensional angiogenesis test were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Isolated umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels strongly expressed the surface markers of mesenchymal stem cels, and human umbilical vein endothelial cels strongly expressed CD31 and VWF. After induction, the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were identified to highly express CD31 and VWF. Through cel migration, active substance and three-dimensional angiogenesis tests, endothelial-like cels were similar to endothelial cels in the function and activity, and superior to endothelial cels.

AIM: To investigate the effects of Hua Yu Dao Zhi decoction (HYDZD) on renal interstitial fibrosis induced by gentamicin in rats. METHODS: 32 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (n=6), gentamicin group (n=13) and HYDZD+gentamicin group (n=13). The renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in rats was induced by gentamicin for 9 d. All rats were sacrificed on 30 d after modeling and renal tissues were stained with HE. The renal indexes were calculated and the changes of serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, total urinary protein in 24 h, and the level of α-SMA, Smad2, Smad7 were detected. RESULTS: Compared to control group, it was observed that there was mainly necrosis and partly degeneration in the renal tubular epithelial cells, proliferation of fibroblasts and infiltration of the inflammatory cells in the interstitial substance in gentamicin group under the light microscope. The renal indexes, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, total urinary protein in 24 h, and the level of α-SMA, Smad2 were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.01) and the level of Smad7 was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.01). Under the light microscope, the results of all mentioned above in HYDZD+gentamicin group were improved significantly (P<0.01), the level of α-SMA, Smad2 were significantly lower than those in gentamicin group (P<0.01). However, no significant difference of Smad7 protein expression between gentamicin group and HYDZD+gentamicin group was observed (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: HYDZD is very effective in preventing and treating renal interstitial fibrosis caused by gentamicin with the decreased level of Smad2.
