Objective To study the feasibility of composite of human fibrinous gel and transgeneic MSCs aiming at replicating adenoviruses-bone morphogenetic proteins-2 (Ad-BMP-2) in repair of segmental bone defects. Methods Bone defects for 10 mm were created on the bilateral radius of 14 Japanese big ear rabbits and treated with four kinds of implantations (seven radii per group), ie, composite of transgeneic MSCs and fibrinous gel (Group A), composite of MSCs and fibrinous gel (Group B),fibrinous gel alone (Group C) and nothing as control group. The defects were observed radiologically and histologically and examined by biomechanical test at the 12th week after operation. Results The defects treated in the Group A were repaired and regenerated much more new bone, bridged earlier and stronger than those in the Group B 12 weeks after operation. The defects treated in the Groups C and D could not attain osseous tissue healing. Conclusions The composite of transgeneic MSCs and fibrinous gel can be used to effectively repair segmental bone defects.

Objective To explore the effects of galantamine on function of learning and memory and cholinergic neurons in cortex and hippocampus in rat models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) so as to further investigate the mechanism of cholinesterase inhibitors in improving the cognitive ability of AD patients. Methods The AD rat models established by injecting amyloid-beta protein (A? 1-40) into the bilateral Meynert nucleus were intervened with galantamine, and their abilities of learning and memory were measured with a behavioral test. Meanwhile, the changes in choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in the rats were examined with immunohistochemical technique. Results In the AD model rats administered with galantamine, the performances in the test were significantly improved and ChAT immunoreactive positive neurons were increased significantly in hippocampus and cortex fields. Conclusion Galantamine can significantly improve the function of learning and memory of the AD model rats, and enhancing the survival characteristics of cholinergic neurons may be one of the important mechanisms, indicating a new possible mechanism of cholinesterase inhibitors as a remedy for AD.

BACKGROUND: Long-term follow-up of the patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) shows some incidence of degeneration at the segments adjacent to the fusion level. Cervical total disc replacement may resolve this problem. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of cervical total disc replacement versus ACDF on the biomechanics of the segment adjacent to the operation level. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized controlled trial was performed at biomechanical laboratory in Beijng Trauma and Orthopaedic Institute from August 2007 to February 2008. MATERIALS: Eighteen samples of fresh goat cervical spine; Bryan artificial cervical disk (Medtronic); CSLP-VA cervical plate (Synthes); coral bone (Beijing Yihuajian Science And Trade Co., Ltd.). METHODS: The goat spines were divided into 3 groups: control group with no specific treatment; total disc replacement group, in which C5/6 segment underwent Bryan artificial cervical disk replacement and fusion; internal fixation group, in which the C5/6 segment underwent cervical discectomy, coral bone implantation and internal fixation with CSLP-VA cervical plate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The adjacent intervertebral disk pressure (IDP) was measured in flexion, extension, rotation and lateral bending under certain loading, and the pressure changes were compared among three groups. RESULTS: At level C4/5, the IDP between total disk replacement group and the control group had no statistical significances in flexion (P 0.05) but internal fixation group was significantly higher than control group (P=0.014). There were no significant differences among the three groups in IDP in extension, rotation and lateral bending. CONCLUSION: Compared with ACDF, the total disk replacement can reduce the adjacent segment IDP and may avoid the degeneration in adjacent cervical segment.

Immunological rejection is the major barrier to successful transplantation.The immune response to an allograft is an ongoing dialogue between the innate and adaptive immune system that will lead to the rejection of allograft.Activation of elements of the innate immune system,triggered as a consequence of tissue injury sustained during cell isolation or organ retrieval and ischemia reperfusion,will initiate and amplify the adaptive response.Identifying the molecular pathways that trigger tissue injury,signal transduction and rejection facilitates the identification of targets for the development of immunosuppressants.

BACKGROUND:Renal tubular-interstitial lesion and fibrosis induced by peritubular capil ary reduction is a common pathway for various chronic kidney diseases which eventual y develop into end-stage renal failure. How to increase the density of peritubular capil ary network is the key to resolving renal interstitial fibrosis. Netrin-1, as a potent mitogen of vascular endothelial cel s, can promote the migration and proliferation of vascular endothelial cel s and induce angiogenesis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the protective effects of naked netrin-1 plasmid transfer on the remnant renal function of 5/6 nephrectomized rats and the effects of naked netrin-1 plasmid transfer on peritubular capil ary network, and to further discuss the possible mechanism. METHODS:Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham, model and treatment groups. Upper and lower one-third of the rat left kidney was resected in the model and treatment groups, and then the right kidney was resected after 1 week to prepare remnant kidney models in rats. IRES2-EGFP and pCMV6-XL5-Netrin-1-IRES2-EGFP pGenesil-NPs plasmids were intravenously injected into the left renal vein while resecting the right kidney of rats in the model and treatment groups, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with model group, the levels of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine decreased, the degree of renal interstitial fibrosis al eviated, the density of peritubular capil aries increased, and the netrin-1 protein expression in renal tubular cytoplasm increased in the treatment group. These findings suggest that the naked netrin-1 plasmid transfer can significantly improve the renal function of the 5/6 nephrectomized rats, reduce the pathological lesion and renal interstitial fibrosis of the remnant kidney, increase the density of peritubular capil aries, and decrease the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, thereby improving the anoxic condition of renal interstitial tubules.

Objective To study the clinical features and angiographic findings of moyamoya disease (MMD) as well as their relationship. Methods A total of 22 MMD patients received routine digital substraction angiography (DSA). The clinical manifestations and angiographic findings were analyzed. Results Clinical manifestations varied and each patient often had multiple symptoms, including cerebral infarction in 9 patients with an average age of 23.6 (13-39 years) and cerebral hemorrhage in 7 patients with an average age of 31.2 (28-46 years). Angiographic examination found that all the diseased sides showed MMD blood vessels. The patients who received encephalo-myo-arterio-synangiosis (EMAS) had better prognosis than those without receiving the treatment. Conclusion Cerebral infarction is frequent in children and adolescents with MMD, whereas cerebral hemorrhage is common in adults. DSA is a golden criterion for diagnosing MMD. Surgical treatment, EMAS blood supply reconstruction in particular, should be prescribed.
