AIM　To investigate protective effects and mechanism of tanshinones on ischemia-like injury models. METHODS　Six ischemia models including hypoxia, hypoglucose, oxidant injury, caffeine injury, nitric oxide neurotoxicity and excitatory amino acid injury were used to assay the anti-ischemic roles of tanshinones in cultured primary cortex neurons. The changes of injuried cortex neurons were observed by the way of morphological examination, and live neurons of crystal violet staining were measured according to absorbent index. RESULTS　It was found that tanshinones possessed obvious protective effects on primary neurons in injury models by the way of morphological examination. Crystal violet staining also indicated that tanshinones increased number of live neurons in injury models significantly. The protective effects of tanshinones on models of oxidant injury, caffeine injury and NMDA injury were superior to other injury models. CONCLUSIONS　83.0 μmol*L-1 tanshinones protected rat cortex cells from all injury models effectively in vitro.

BACKGROUND:Many in vivo and in vitro experiments indicate that implantation of exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor can significantly promote the process of bone formation, but the in vivo degradation of exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor affects the therapeutic efficacy.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor-transfected mesenchymal stem cells which transfected using molecular biology techniques combined with al ogeneic bone in the repair of critical-size bone defects in sheep.
METHODS:Al ogeneic bone with basic fibroblast growth factor-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with al ogeneic bone material stents, al ograft bone material,β-tricalcium calcium material were respectively implanted into critical-size bone defects in sheep. After 4, 8 and 12 weeks, histological and immunohistochemical staining was performed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 12 weeks after implantation of al ogeneic bone with basic fibroblast growth factor-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as tissue engineering bone, there were many cartilage-like structures in the operative binding region and a large amount of osteoblast-like cells in the center of operative region, and there was more material degradation in the entire operative area as compared with other groups;there were fibrous connective tissues ful of the pores, and osteoclast-like cells were commonly seen around the implant material;bone sialoprotein and col agen type Ⅰ expression were strongly positive. In the other three groups, although the cartilage-like structure appeared in the binding region, dead bone structure was found in the central area, and bone sialoprotein and type Ⅰ col agen expression was weak. These findings indicate that al ogeneic bone with basic fibroblast growth factor-transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can basical y repair critical-size bone defects in sheep.

BACKGROUND: In the researches of Ginkgo Biloba Extract(GBE) in the treatment of cerebra ischemia, because of the application of generally anaesthesia medication that may induce the alteration of cerebral temperature, the accuracy of the results may be affected.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of domestic GBE on antioxidase and lipid peroxide of cerebral ischemic reperfusion tissue as well as the water content of ischemic brain tissue under normothermia.DESIGN: A randomised controlled trial.SETTING and MATERIALS: Study was conducted in the Tongji Medical University of Huazhong Science and Technology University. A total of 24 Wistar rats with a mass from 250 g to 300 g were randomly allocated into sham-operation group ( n = 8 ), cerebral ischemia control group ( n = 8) and cerebral ischemia GBE treatment group( n = 8) . The animal model of normothermia rat with left middle cerebral artery ischemia for 2 hours and reperfusion for 2 hours was prepared with the reference of Nagasawa method in the animals of control group and treatment group for contrast study.INTERVENTIONS: The cerebral temperature of the rats was reflected by the temperature of the temporal muscle. The temperature-measuring probe was embedded into the deep part of the left temporal muscle closed to osseous ectoblast. The temperature was continuously monitored by semiconductor oxide temperature sensor. The temperature of the head was heated with 60 W filament lamp and adjusted by automatic double-controlling craniocerebral cooling instrument to maintain the cerebral temperature at normothermia level of 36.5 ℃ - 37 ℃. The normothermia cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury rat model was established according to the design. GBE injection was injected respectively into abdominal cavity in the rats of cerebral ischemia GBE treatment group at the following time point: 12 hours, 8 hours and 4 hours before operation, immediately after cerebral ischemia and immediately after reperfusion, with 3 mL each time and 5 times in total. Same times and dose of normal saline was injected into the abdominal cavity in the rats of both control group and sham-operation groups.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px), reduced glutathione(GSH), malondialdehyde(MDA)and water contents in the cerebral ischemic tissue.RESULTS: The levels of SOD, GSH-Px and GSH in cerebral ischemia control group were(73.35 ± 12. 86) NU/mg, (167.37 ±54.34) μkat/g and (196. 84 ± 22.75) μg/g respectively, which significantly lower than that (96. 02± 16. 83) NU/mg, (338.57±84.02) μkat/g and(337.51± 34. 89) μg/g of sham-operation group( P ＜ 0. 01 or P ＜ 0.05) . The SOD, GSH-Px and GSH levels of cerebral isehemia GBE treatment group were (87.24± 15.03) NU/mg, (316. 56 ±93.52) μkat/g and(263.16±28.54) μg/g, which significantly higher than that of cerebral ischemia control group(P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05) .The MDA level of cerebra ischemia control group was (308.34 ± 26.81 ) nmol/g, which significantly higher than that(101.46 ± 10.97) nmol/g of sham-operation group( P ＜ 0.01 ) .The MDA level of cerebral ischemia GBE treatment group was(125.86± 13.90) nmol/g, which was significantly lower than that of sham-operation group ( P ＜ 0.01 ) . The water content of cerebral ischemia control group was(80. 45 ± 0.44)%, which was significantly higher than that (78.20 ± 0. 25 ) % of sham-operation group ( P ＜ 0.01 ) . The water content of cerebral ischemia GBE treatment group was(79.63 ± 0.46) %, which was significantly lower than that of cerebral ischemia control group( P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Domestic GBE can inhibit the excessive production of free radicals and the lipid peroxidation during cerebral ischemia and reduce cerebral oedema and the destruction of blood-brain barrier to protect cerebral ischemic tissues under cerebral normothermia.

[Objective]To discuss the influence of posterior cervical titanium internal fixation system on magnetic resonance image(MRI).[Method]Six cases that had operated in Changhai hospital with posterior cervical titanium internal fixation system performed MRI scan.The MRI system were 1.0-T or 1.5-T scanner.Patients all performed sagital T1,T2 and axial T1-weighted image scan under turbo spin echo(TSE)sequence,then the artifacts and its influence on the MRI image were analyzed.[Result]Mean artifact size ranged from 2 to 3 times of actual screw size.The artifact was similar to the primary shape of internal fixation system with low intensity signal on center and high intensity signal on the margin.The details in the spinal canal can be distinguished.The rod had small artifact,but the laminar hook had large artifact which obscured the posterior structure of spinal canal,and the artifact of pedicle screw had influence on lateral spinal canal,nerve root and vertebral artery.[Conclusion]Patients with posterior cervical titanium internal fixation system should choose Turbo spin echo(TSE)sequence for MRI scan,if the spin echo is performed,the TE should be minimized.

Objective To study the enantioselective characteristics and laws of ?-adrenoceptor antagonist isomers on Chiralcel ○R OD column. Methods The experiments were performed under the following HPLC conditions: a Chiralcel OD column (250 mm?4.6 mm, 10 ?m) as analytical column, a mixture of n-hexane/2-propanol/ triethylamine as the mobile phase, the fluorescence detection wavelengths at 275 nm (? ex) and 310 nm (? em), and the flow rate at 0.5 mL?min -1. The effect of interaction between stationary phase and 2-propanol or triethylamine concentration in mobile phase on the enantiomer resolution were investigated by the stoichiometric displacement model for retention. Results The lgI values of R-enantiomers of 3 out of 5 ?-adrenoceptor antagonist were higher than those of S-enantiomers. The 2-propanol in mobile phase would differently affect the resolution between enantiomers for each ?-adrenoceptor. With the increase of triethylamine concentration in mobile phase, the capacity factor (k′) of the enantiomers decreased but the resolution increased. Conclusion The lgI and Z values of SDM-R could be employed to characterize the resolution efficiency of Chiralcel OD column and the specific effect of enantiomers interacted with the stationary phase. Adding triethylamine in mobile phase will increase the resolution efficacy and changing column temperature can promote enantiomer resolution.

Objective To evaluate the main scanning technique and clinical value of 16-slice spiral CT coronary angiography(CTCA).Methods Plain and enhanced imaging were performed by retrospective ECG gating in 76 patients,including 65 cases suspected coronary artery disease,8 cases of coronary stent and 3 cases of coronary bypass graft.Post-processing was conducted with VesselView soft package,in which MPR,MIP,VRT and section plane of conoray artery were made in all cases,among them 35 cases underwent selective coronary angiography(SCA) as a comparision.These main segments(vessel diameter≥2 mm) in CTCA were compared with SCA,and≥50% reduction of vessel diameter was defined as significant disease.Results 85.1% of the coronary segments in CTCA were accessible and could accurately displaye the patency of the coronary arteries and the pathological changes in vessel walls.In comparison with SCA,the sensitivity and specificity were 86.5% and 95.1% respectively. When 46 coronary artery segments judged unevaluable were included in the analysis,the sensitivity was 78.0%(32/41).Conclusion 16-slice CTCA can display long segment of coronary artery and assess coronary artery disease with high accuracy,which has highly clinical value.

To investigate the influence of recombinant human augmenter of liver regeneration (hALR) on stromelysin 1 gene expression in rats with fibrotic liver. CCl 4 or albumin induced liver fibrosis in rats was established, and different dosages of recombinant human augmenter of liver regeneration were given to rats with liver fibrosis.Liver specimens were obtained at different intervals of treatment , total RNA of liver tissues were isolated and stromelysin 1 gene expression was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) . The results showed that in both rat models of experimental liver fibrosis , stromelysin 1 gene expression levels were significantly higher in hALR treated rats than those without the treatment at various intervals. Stromelysin 1 gene expression levels in high dose hALR treatment group were significantly higher than that in low dose hALR treatment group. It suggested that recombinant human augmenter of liver regeneration may enhance stromelysin 1 gene expression in rats with fibrotic liver.
