1.COX-2 induced angiogenesis and peritoneal adhesion
International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(8):524-528
Postoperative peritoneal adhesion represents a major complication of surgery. Recently, the angiogenesis which cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme induced was found to play an important role in the adhesion synthesis. This review summarized the relationship between COX-2 induced angiogenesis and peritoneal ad- hesion.

Relevant literatures on the relationship betw een fluorosis and oxidative stress were reviewed.Based on most of the original papers published in recent years,we can see the increased free radicals and oxidative stress may occur in certain stage of fluoride intoxication,but confirmation of the causality between oxidative stress and fluoride-induced damages still remains much work to do.

Objective To investigate the relationship between gene polymorphism of factor VII R353Q (FVII R353Q) and cerebral palsy for Han Chinese children. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism were used to determine genotype and allele of R353Q gene in 160 children with cerebral palsy and 137 normal children. Results The genotype of FVII R353Q is close to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both CP group and control group (P>0.05). There was not significant difference in the distribution of the allelic frequency and genotype of FVII R353Q between the both groups (P=0.436, P=0.182, respectively). Conclusion The gene polymorphism of FVII R353Q is not significantly related with cerebral palsy for Han Chinese children.

Objective To evaluate the heritability explanation degree of schizophrenia by all known susceptibility variants in schizophrenia. Methods The GWAS catalog of National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) was queried to retrieve all the susceptible gene variations of schizophrenia. Sixty-two variants with risk allele frequency and odds ratio (OR ) were selected from 347 susceptible gene variants of schizophrenia. The heritability explanation degree of each susceptibility variants was calculated using the multifactorial liability threshold model. Results The total heritabili-ty explanation degree of schizophrenia by 62 known susceptible variants was 25.66%. In contrast, 74.34%of heritability, which could not be explained by known susceptibility variants, were then defined as the missing heritability of schizophre-nia. Conclusions The results demonstrate that the heritability explanation degree of schizophrenia by all known suscepti-bility variants in schizophrenia is low, indicating that there may be many unknown schizophrenia molecular genetic mech-anisms need to be further clarified.

Objective To study the effects of psychological rehabilitation in the treatment of paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods A hundred paraplegic spinal fracture survivors were divided into a research group and a control group with 50 cases in each.Systematic rehabilitation was given to the patients in the control group,while this was combined with individualized psychological rehabilitation protocols for the patients in the research group.The daily treatment lasted 10 weeks,6 days a week.All of the patients were assessed with the Barthel index (BI),a functional independence measure (FIM),the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) and the Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) pre-treatment and post-treatment.Results Before the intervention there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in any of the assessments.After ten weeks the average BI,FIM,HAMD and HAMA results in the research group were significantly better than those pre-treatment and also significantly better than those in the control group.Conclusions Psychological rehabilitation can distinctly improve the functioning and psychological state of paraplegic patients after SCI.

From August 6 to 8, 2010, the 23 rd "Nutritional risk, malnutrition, nutritional support, outcome, and cost-effective" workshop was held in Beijing. There were 30 participants from Beijing, Tianjin,Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming, Guiyang, Guangzhou, Songyuan, Weifang, Guilin, Urumqi, Qingdao, Yueyang, and Qinhuangdao. The workshop has 2 sections. Section 1: Learn the published papers from ( 1 ) Jie B,Jiang ZM, Nolan MT, et al. Impact of nutritional support on clinical outcome in patients at nutritional risk: a multicenter, prospective cohort study in Baltimore and Beijing teaching hospitals. Nutrition, 2010, (9); (2)Braga M, Gianotti L. Preoperative immunonutrition: cost-benefit analysis. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr,2005, 29 ( 1 Suppl): S57-S61; and ( 3 ) Jiang ZM, Wilmore DW, Wang XR, et al. Randomized clinical trial of intravenous soybean oil alone versus soybean oil plus fish oil emulsion after gastrointestinal cancer surgery. Br J Surg, 2010, 97 (6): 804-809. Section 2: Discuss two protocols for cohort study and for randomized clinical trial (RCT). The cohort study is to continue the investigations of the impact of nutritional support for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on outcome and cost/effectiveness, and the RCT protocol is to plan a new protocol about the impact of fish oil on postoperative outcome and cost/effectiveness. The second protocol also asked Professor Kondrup to join with as the co-principal investigator. At the pilot period, the fish oil study is an open RCT because the costs of nutrients need to be paid by patients himself (herself). To apply the support for nutrients is on the schedule. The 24th workshop will bo held on December 17-19, 2010 in Beijing.

Objective To determine the preventive effect of Celecoxib on postoperative adhesion formation and its mechanism. Methods We divided 80 SD rats into 5 groups: Groups A, B, C, H and S. Rats in Groups A, B, C and H received the operation of peritoneum rubbing to promote adhesion formation. Group S underwent sham operation. Rats in Group B were given Celecoxib of 40 mg/(kg·d), those in Group C were also given Celecoxib of 20mg/(kg·d), and those in Group H were given sodium hyaluronate (HA) during the operation. On the 8th and 15th postoperative day, half of the rats were sacrificed, the extent of adhesion formation was assessed and the adhesive peritoneum was subjected to immunohistochemistry with VEGF and CD_(34). Results The extent of postoperative adhesion differed significantly among the five groups (P<0.01). Groups B and C had significantly fewer adhesions than Groups H and A. VEGF was expressed most highly in Group A, followed by Groups H, C and B, and most weakly in Group S. CD34 was expressed most highly in Group A, followed by Groups H, C and B, and most weakly in Group S. Conclusion Celecoxib provides durable inhibition of intra-abdominal adhesions in a murine model compared with HA. The mechanism of preventing intra-abdominal adhesion via inhibiting COX-2 is possibly through down-regulated expression of VEGF and reduced microvascular density.

Objective To study the effect of chronic low dose soman on learning and memory and long term potentiation(LTP) of hippocampal slices. Methods Rat model was established by consecutive subcutaneous injection of soman(6-10 ?g?kg 1 , s. c, sig?14) for 14 days for Morris water maze test. Long term potential of synaptic transmission was observed in CA1 region by tetanization of the Schaffer commissural pathway in rat hippocampal slices. Results In the Morris water maze, latency to find a hidden platform was longer and the times of crossing the situation of platform and the time percent of swimming in northeast obviously decreased. In the experiment on hippocampal slice of rats in vitro by microelectrode method, the generation of long term potentiation was inhibited. Conclusion Chronic low dose soman may cause an evident learning and memory disturbance and decrease hippocampal synaptic plasticity.
