Objective To investigate clinical therapeutic effects after a series of improvements of multi-site combination in the simple obese patient with tumescent liposuction. Methods Before tumescence anesthetization, short-acting benzo-diazepine was used as sedative inducer. The pressure and fluid velocity of short-acting benzodiazepine were regulated and injected into deeper level of fat at first, and all of these actions decreased the pain of patients, and promote the effect of the pain tolerance. The positions of the incisions were selected to hide from view and specifically protected, which could improve looks and decrease the scar formation after operation. In later stage of operation the flaps were pressurized and slid from outside, in order to make the flaps even and smooth and to keep their thickness according to the position of the flaps and the age of the patients. Opened draining was changed to block draining after operation. Results 73 cases were taken the follow-up for 6~24 months. All cases obtained satisfactory results, except that one cases was complicated by scar hypertrophy. The changes of the circumferences were as follows: the decrease of the maximum circumference of thigh was from 2 cm to 17cm, abdomen from 3 cm to 24 cm, and buttocks from 1 cm to 3 cm. Conclusions A series of improvement of key measures enhance the clinical therapeutic effects of multi-site combination in the simple obese patient with tumescent liposuction.

Objective To evalutate the safty of hBMSCs transpalntation and to observe their migration and distribution in the brain of young macaca fascicularis. To establish a new technology platform and theoretical basis for the treatment of central nervous system diseases in children. Methods Labelled hBMSCs were transplanted into the striatum of young macaca fascicularis. Brain sections were examined to evalutate the inflammatory reaction and immunological rejection of local injection sites by HE observation and immunohistochemical staining. Migration and distribution of transplanted?hBMSCs was observed by real?time fluorescence quantitative PCR of male DNA and fluorescence microscope. Results The results showed that the direct intracerebral injection of hBMSCs did not cause systemic symptoms in animals. There is no inflammatory reaction and immunological rejection was detected, and degeneration and necrosis of neural cells and proliferation of glial cells were absent in the local injection sites. The transplanted hBMSCs survived, and migrated into the brain after 4 weeks transplantation. Its migration and distribution have certain regularity and were overlapping between transplant recipients. In addtion, hBMSCs tended to extend rostrally into the forebrain and showed preference of migrating toward the blood vessels and below the ependyma. Conculsions Intracerebral transplantation of hBMSCs is safe. And hBMSCs can survive and migrate into the brain.

Objective To explore the effects of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)on chronic cerebral ischemia in rats,and its possible mechanism.Methods Chronic cerebral ischemia (2-VO) model was prepared and bilateral external jugular veins were isolated.A total of 30 rats were divided into 2 groups at random sham group (received no intervention,n=15) and operative group (received G-CSF or PBS through external jugular vein injection,n=15).At 6 weeks after operation,the rats in operative group were divided into G--CSF group (received G-CSF 10 mg/L,1 ml · kg-1 · d-1,1 times every 24 h for,3 times) and PBS control group (received PBS 10 mg/L,1 ml ·kg 1 · d-11,1 times every 24 h for 3 times).At 8 weeks after the operation,morris water maze was carried out to evaluate the learning and memory ability of the rats.The cell proliferation,threedimensional vascular distribution,ischemic neuronal apoptosis,cell morphological changes in ischemic area and the plasma VEGF levels were detected to explore the possible mechanisms.Results In morris water maze,escape latency at the 2rd to 5th day were significantly lower in G-CSF group than the PBS group (all P<0.05).The swimming time spent in the first quadrant in G-CSF group was significantly longer than the PBS group (P<0.05).There was a significant difference in the number of BrdU positive cells in the ischemical area between the G-CSF group and the control group [(27.7±4.76) vs.(10.4 ± 3.7),P =0.030).Three-dimensional quantitative measurements of vascular structure showed that the capillary diameters was smaller in the G-CSF group than in the PBS group [(2.90±0.20) μm vs.(3.45±0.26) μm,P=0.020] and the number of branch points in the boundary regions of ischemia had a significant difference in the G-CSF group compared with the control group [(207.82±10.73) /0.002 mm3 vs.(162.10±9.31) /0.002mm3,P=0.005].Threedimensional cerebral vessel surface area in the ipsilateral hemisphere was increased in the G-CSF group compared with the PBS group [(86498±2896) μm2/0.002 mm3vs.(73976±3826) μm2/0.002 mm3,P=0.003].The number of apoptotic cells in G-CSF group was decreased compared with the PBS group [(32.10±6.70) vs.(56.30±11.20),F=11.89,P=0.043].The electron microscope morphological observations showed inflammatory edema in intercellular gap was significantly reduced in the G-CSF group compared with the PBS group.The level of plasma VEGF was significantly increased in the G-CSF group compared with the PBS group [(58.81±6.61) ng/L vs.(20.81±4.35)ng/L,P=0.025].Conclusions G--CSF can improve the learning and memory ability in the chronic cerebral ischemic rats,and its possible mechanism might involve the nerve protection and the vascular regeneration associated with the VEGF.There is a great prospect for G-CSF in the therapy of chronic cerebral ischemic disease.

Purpose To investigate the expression of Periostin and VEGF protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and their significance. Methods Immunohistochemical staining (SP method) was used to detect Periostin and VEGF expression in 130 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and 130 cases of normal esophageal mucosa tissues. Results There was a significantly difference between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and normal esophageal mucoma ( P<0. 05 ) . The expression of Periostin was related to the depth of invasion and the metastasis of lymph node (P<0. 05). A dramatic correlation has been found in the expression of VEGF to the degrees of differentiation, the depth of invasion and the metastasis of lymph node (P<0. 05). The expression of Peri-ostin was also positively correlated with the expression of VEGF (P<0. 05). Follow-up data was available in 66 cases with a range of 1 to 48 months. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed survival rate of Periostin-positive group was significantly lower than that of Perios-tin-negative group (P<0. 05). The survival rate of VEGF-positive group was significantly lower than that of VEGF-negative group (P<0. 05). Conclusion The expression of Periostin has a close relationship with VEGF in the carcinogenesis, combined detection of both Periostin and VEGF can become an objective target to evaluate Potentials of invasion and lymph node metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which has a great significance to the judgment of prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the impact ofα?lipoic acid(ALA)treatment on sepsis?induced acute kidney injury in rats and explore the mechanisms. Methods A total of 32 male SD rats were randomized into 4 groups:normal control group(group A),ALA?treated control group (group B),sepsis group(group C)and sepsis with ALA treated group(group D). Group A and B underwent sham operation,while CLP operations were conducted in group C and D. Rats in both group B and group D were then administered with 200 mg/kg ALA by oral gavage immediately after the surgical procedure. Twenty?four hours after the surgical procedure blood samples were obtained for the evaluation of creatinine,BUN,TNF?α,IL?6 and IL?1β. Rat kidneys were rapidly removed for PAS stain. Western blot was employed to determine the expression of NF?κB. Results Pathologi?cal changes of kidney were induced by sepsis and the level of creatinine,BUN,TNF?α,IL?6 and IL?1βwere significantly increased by 178%,66%, 55%,114%and 110%(P<0.01). respectively;simultaneously the phosphorylation and nuclear expression of NF?κB p65 in kidney tissues were significantly increased by 144%and 102%(P<0.01). Sepsis?induced acute kidney injury also significantly reduced the expression of IκBαby 61%(P<0.01). These changes were significantly suppressed by early ALA treatment. Compared with C group,the level of creatinine,BUN,TNF?α,IL?6 and IL?1βwere significantly decreased by 48%,26%,25%,37%and 40%(P<0.05),respectively,and the relative expression of IκBαwas increased by 103%(P<0.05). Conclusion The present study demonstrated that ALA can suppress the activation of NF?κB,thus ameliorat?ing sepsis?related acute kidney injury.
