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.

Objective To investigate the effects of remifentanil postconditioning and combined remifentanil-prupofol postconditioning on liver ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Thirty male SD rats weighing 220-280 g were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n =6 each):group sham operation (group Ⅰ ) ; group I/R (group Ⅱ ) ; group propofol postconditioning (group Ⅲ ) ; group remifentanil postconditioning (group Ⅳ ) and group combined propofol-remifentanil postconditioning (group Ⅴ ).In groups Ⅱ- Ⅴ the hepatic arteries and veins of middle and left were occluded for 30 min.In groups Ⅲ-Ⅴ propofol ( at 30 mg· kg- 1 · h - 1 ) and/or remifentanil (at 1 μg· kg- 1 · min- 1 ) were infused iv at the onset of reperfusion for 1 h.Blood samples were taken at the end of 1 h reperfusion for determination of serum AST,ALT activities and IL-8,IL-10 concentrations.The animals were sacrificed after blood sampling.Liver specimens were obtained for determination of c-fos and c-jun expression in liver cells by immuno-histochemistry and microscopic examination with scanning electron microscope.Results Liver I/R significantly increased serum AST and ALT activities and IL-8 and IL-10 concentrations and c-fos and cjun expression in liver ceils in group Ⅱ as compared with group Ⅰ.The serum AST and ALT activities,IL-8 concentration and the c-fos and c-jun expression in liver cells were significantly lower.and the serum IL-10 concentration was significantly higher in groups Ⅲ- Ⅴ than in group Ⅱ,but there were no significant differences among the groups Ⅲ - Ⅴ.The histo-pathological changes in the liver tissue were significantly attenuated in groups Ⅲ- v as compared with group Ⅱ.Conclusion Postconditioning with remifentanil and/or propofol can attenuate liver I/R injury by inhibiting inflammatory response and apoptosis in the liver cells,but there is no significant difference in the protective effects induced by postconditioning with remifentanil or propofol alone or in combination.

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 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.
