Aim In order to study the protective effect of caffeic acid on damage induced by aluminum-overload in primary cultured rat hippocampal neuron.Methods Primary cell cultures were obtained from the cerebral hippocampus of Newly born SD rats within 24 h.On the d 7 of neuronal culture, the immunohistory of NSE was used to identify the purity of neuron.There were 5 experimental groups,NaCl(200 μmol·L~(-1))-treated group, AlCl_3-treated group(200 μmol·L~(-1)),and aluminum+caffeic acid(10~(-6) mol·L~(-1),10~(-7) mol·L~(-1) and 10~(-8) mol·L~(-1))-treated groups. HE staining was used to observe the change of neuronal pathomorphology. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. SOD activity, LDH leakage and MDA contents were also detected.Results The purity of neurons was more than 95%. Aluminum administration induced loss of neurons and damage to dendrite and axon.Compared with that of the control group,the decreased viability of neurons,increased leakage of LDH, decreased activity of SOD and increased contents of MDA were observed in aluminum-treated groups.Compared with that of the model group, the administration of Caffeic acid could significantly blunt the death of the primary cultured hippocampal neurons, and blunt the decrease of neuronal viability and SOD activity and the increase of LDH leakage and MDA contents.Conclusions These results suggest that caffeic acid has an obvious protective effect against neuronal damage induced by aluminum overload in primary cultured neurons. The mechanism of protection might involve the anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative effects of caffeic acid.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of meloxicam on aluminum overload-inducing damage of hippocampal neuron.METHODS:Primary hippocampal neuron attained from new born SD rats was cultured for 7 days.There were 5 groups e.g blank control group (200 ?mol?L-1 NaCl),aluminum model group (200 ?mol?L-1 AlCl3) and meloxicam low-dose (10-8 mol?L-1),medium-dose (10-7 mol?L-1) and high-dose (10-6 mol?L-1) groups.HE staining was used to observe the change of neuronal morphology.The optical densities of cells were measured.The activities of SOD,leakage of LDH and content of MDA were also detected.RESULTS:As compared with control group,the optical density of cells and activity of SOD were decreased and leakage of LDH and content of MDA were increased (P

Objective To prepare a new bioadhesive material-chitosan-thioglycolic acid conjugates from chitosan,and analysed the structure moreover.Methods Preparing chitosan-thioglycolic acid conjugates with a new synthesis method under catalytic reaction by NHS,and the contents of thiol groups in the conjugates were determined.Furthermore,elemental analysis and the IR spectrum of the polymer were determined.Results The content of thiol groups in the chitosan-thioglycolic acid conjugates was 1034?mol?g~(-1),and the structure was elucidated.Conclusion The new synthesis method was feasible,and the structure can be elucidated by IR spectrum.

Objective To comparisom five methods of detection of eosinophil cells,in order to analyze the precision of the five methods.Methods The eosinophil cells of 100 patients were tested by using microscope、BC T5difft and flow cytometry are(0.249 ±0.112) × 109/L,(0.253 ±0.105) × 109/L,(0.252 ±0.103) × 109/L,(0.256 ±0.104) × 109/L and(0.259 ±0.101) × 109/L.There are no statistical differences(F = 1.225,P＞0.10)among the five methods.Conclusion The results of the five methods are all accurate;the automatic analyzer method and the flow cytometry method are simple and repeatable,but the equipment and reagents are more expensive;the microscope direct counting method is more complicated and less repeatable.

Objective:To observe the expression of IL-12 family subunit genes by real-time quantitative PCR in mice C6 glioma cells,construct the basis of the brain glioma research on IL-12 family in the future.Methods:Mice C6 glioma RNA was abstracted and reversed transcription cDNA.The mice C6 glioma cells mRNA expression influence of IL-12 family subunit genes was compared and analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR.Results: In mice C6 glioma cells, high expression abundances in IL-23a, IL-12a, midlde expression abundances in EBI3, IL-27, low expression abundance in IL-12b.Conclusion: IL-12 families are closely related to the occurrence and development of glioma,IL-12,IL-23 are regarded as the most potential anti-glioma cytokines among them,research de-velopments will bring a new way of brain glioma immune therapy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of acupuncture and massage combined with anterior cervical decompression and bone grafting for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and to analyze the mechanism of action and provide guidance for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods A total of 62 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy were enrolled in our hospital from October 2013 to October 2014.The patients were divided into treatment group and control group according to random number table.The control group was treated with anterior decompression and bone grafting, and the treatment group received acupuncture and massage combined with anterior cervical decompression and bone grafting and internal fixation.The changes of JOA score, TCM syndrome score, VAS score and quality of life score before and after treatment were observed and the prognosis was evaluated.Results After treatment,the JOA score, quality of life score of the two groups were significantly increased than those before treatment, while the TCM symptom scores, VAS scores were significantly decreased.The improvement effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05);The prognosis of the treatment group is better than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy with acupuncture and massage combined with anterior decompression and bone grafting and internal fixation can significantly improve the clinical efficacy and prognosis, and the safety is higher.

Han Jiangbo. Department of Theoretical Mechanics, Luoyang Industry College. Luoyang Since January 1982 we have relocated the insertion of a part of pectoralis major or deltoid muscle in the treatment of 5 cases of habitual dislocation of shoulder. After over a year of follow-up no recurrence of dislocation has been found in all the cases. The shoulder joint seemed to be stable, the range of movements increased, and disturbance in supination was corrected. The operative procedure was studied in fresh cadavers and human skeleton. Studies on mechanical model of shoulder joint, with theoretical calculation of changes in pronation after muscle displacement, showed that movements of pronation were remarkably increased after displacement of partial pectoralis major and deltoideus. It could also compensate the weatened subscapularis.
