Objective To observe the arrangement and distribution of the fascicular groups in the ulnar nerve trunk to the intrinsic muscles so as to provide anatomical evidence for selective repair in the clinic.Methods 12 cadaveric upper extremities recently embalmed with formalin were obtained. The ulnar nerve and its branches were exposed. Microanatomy and longitudinal contradissection of each functional fascicular group were performed by tracing their terminal branches, and the arrangement and distribution were observed and recorded. The fascicular groups to the intrinsic muscles of hand in the nerve trunk were observed to see how they crossed and mixed with other fascicular groups. The diameter of the nerve trunk and the fascicles to the intrinsic muscles were measured, and the area and the distribution range of the fascicles calculated. Results The shape and the diameter of the ulnar nerve trunk varied at different positions. The fibers of functional fascicular groups had the definite differentiation at distal while interfused and diffused at proximal. The fascicular groups to the intrinsic muscles of hand were the largest and their fibers relatively concentrated (the distribution range occupied 40% ~ 80% of the ulnar nerve), and had the definite localization at the forearm and distal to the 3/8 segment of upper arm. Conclusion Since the fascicles to the intrinsic muscles of the hand are the most important in the ulnar nerve, selective repair by using epineural and perineural techniques at the forearm and upper arm will reduce the loss of nerve fibers and will contribute to the functional recovery.

Objective To investigate the role of p38MAPK in the differentiation of murine osteoblasts, and to observe the expressions of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). Methods The calvarial osteoblasts of newborn BALB/c mice were cultured in MEM medium containing 10% NCS. Raloxifene (10~(-7) mol/L) and 17β-estradiol (10~(-8) mol/L) were added respectively when cells reached 70%-80% confluence combined with or without 5 μmol/L SB202190, an inhibitor of p38MAPK. The osteoblasts alkaline phosphatase activity assays were performed 72 hours later using PNPP method, and mRNA levels of alkaliphosphatase (ALP), OPG and RANKL were determined by RT-PCR. Results 17β-estradiol and raloxifene increased ALP activity and ALP mRNA level in osteoblasts in vitro which were blocked by p38MAPK inhibitor.The mRNA levels of RANKL and OPG were up-regulated by 17β-estradiol and raloxifene while the ratio of OPG/RANKL kept constant. SB202190 (5 μmol/L) inhibited the highly expressed RANKL and OPG in osteoblasts, and obviously decreased the ratio of OPG/RANKL. Conclusions p38MAPK inhibition blocked the differentiation of osteoblasts and decreased the up-regulated OPG and RANKL expressions in osteoblasts significantly (P<0.05).
