The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (SalB) on blood-brain barrier (BBB) in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, and to illustrate its possible mechanisms. Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats. The break-down of BBB was indicated by extravasations of immunoglobulin (IgG) monitored with immunohistochemistry. The expression of MMP-9 and NOS2 in the brain was determined by immunohistochemistry, and the expression of p-p38 and p-ERK1/2 was detected by Western blotting. It was shown that on day 2 after ischemia-reperfusion the IgG accumulated around the vascular boundary zone, suggesting the break-down of BBB, and the expression of MMP-9 and NOS2 up-regulated at the same time. The result of Western blotting suggested that the expression of p-p38 and p-ERK1/2 increased. On day 7 after ischemia-reperfusion the. expression of MMP-9 and NOS2 was about the same level as day 2, the expression of p-p38 was higher than that on day 2 and the expression of p-ERK1/2 was slightly lower than that on day 2. SalB (1 and 10 mg x kg(-1)) significantly alleviated the extravasations of immunoglobulin induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (P < 0.05). On day 2 and day 7 SalB attenuated the expression of MMP-9 and NOS2 (P < 0.05). SalB (10 mg x kg(-1)) reduced the expression of p-p38 and p-ERK1/2 apparently on day 2 and 7 after ischemia-reperfusion (P < 0.05). SalB (1 mg x kg(-1)) inhibited the expression of p-p38 on day 7 after ischemia-reperfusion (P < 0.05). The results indicate that SalB protects blood-brain barrier in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion by inhibiting the MAPK pathway.

Objective To study clinical application and complication of heavy silicon oil (Densiron68) in the treatment of traumat- ic proliferative vitreoretinopathy.Design Non-comparatives,retrospective case series.Participants Twenty patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy resulting from ocular trauma were recruited,whose retinal detachment arising from inferior or posterior retinal breaks. Methods Heavy silicon oil was applied to patients during vitrectomy.Silicone oil or gas was applied to patients with redetachment after heavy silicon oil was removed.Main Outcome Measures The rate of retinal attachment,vision,intraocular pressure,inflammatory re- action of anterior segment and silicone oil emulsification period.Results The rate of retinal attachment with one operation using heavy silicon oil was 50%(10/20 eyes)and 15%(3/20 eyes)with further surgery.The average follow-up time was 3.90?1.41 months.At the end of the follow-up,all tamponade agents were removed in 50% patients.Patients' logMAR vision after the surgery was 2.19?0.86,which was better than before the surgery (2.63?1.00) (P=0.037).There was little evidence of high intraocular pressure,excessive inflammatory reaction of anterior segment and cornea endothelial cell damage,but cataract became more serious without exception.Emulsification rate was 100% and the average emulsification period was 2.18?0.87 months.Conclusions Heavy silicon oil tamponade in vitreoretinal surgery for traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy has good efficacy and relatively few complications.However,its emulsification period is relatively short,which may constraint its application to a certain extent.

In order to explore a dose distribution verification procedure of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and establish its evaluation criteria, we performed 35 two-dimensional (2D) patient-specific IMRT verifications over the year 2006. The percent of pixels passing gamma and the normalized agreement test (NAT) index were mainly used to represent the agreement between the measured and computed dose distributions with three criteria (2%/2 mm, 3%/3 mm and 5%/3 mm) as recommended in the literature. The results were that all cases passed through verifications with three criteria except that the NAT index of one case was beyond the limitation, and the three tolerance levels of 2%/2 mm, 3%/3 mm and 5%/3 mm produced similar clinical verification results but led to different percent of pixels passing gamma and NAT index. Our data showed that the percent of pixels passing gamma and the NAT index were complementary to evaluate future IMRT verifications as two significant metrics. Due to the influence of the noise and the trait of the software, we considered an IMRT plan as acceptable in case of the percent of pixels passing gamma >95% and the NAT index <5 with the 5%/3 mm criteria for IMRT patient-specific quality assurance (QA).

BACKGROUND: To determine the non-or collapsed osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and degree of collapse, can help surgeons design reasonable treatment strategy for patients with ONFH. In China, articular cartilage collapse less than or greater than 2 mm, is a basis for choosing palliative surgery or hip replacement. However, the measurement of collapsed ONFH before replacement has not yet been confirmed. OBJECTIVE: To predict the collapse of femoral head before replacement by CT and X-ray examinations, and to compare with the intraoperative excised femoral head specimens.METHODS: This was a single-center, open-label and diagnostic trial, which was finished at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China. Eighty-six patients with unilateral ONFH undergoing total hip replacement were recruited, and allocated into three groups, such as X-ray, CT and specimen groups. The X-ray group underwent X-ray examination at anteroposterior pelvic (bilateral hips) at 1 week before surgery, the CT group received CT scan at bilateral hips at 1 week before surgery, and the specimen group was subjected to the removal of affected femoral head, and then directly measured using ruler and vernier caliper. Primary outcome was the sensitivity of thesethree methods for measuring collapsed femoral head. Secondary outcomes were the specificity, positive predictive value,negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio of these three methods for the diagnosisof collapsed femoral head and the diagnostic accuracy; the diagnostic consistence of CT and X-ray examinations; the height of the lateral, middle and external femoral head measured by three methods. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, China, and will be performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki, formulated by the World Medical Association. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants prior to the trial. DISCUSSION: In this study, the height of femoral head was measured and analyzed in all-dimensional and multi-anglemanner based on intraoperative removed specimens, so as to make an accurate prediction for collapsed femoral head, thus providing imaging reference for surgeons prior to choosing an appropriate operative scheme

BACKGROUND: In alveolar cleft patients, the amount of bone stock after alveolar bone grafting is mostly measured and analyzed by two-dimensional imaging, which can result in a large error. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the 6-month osteogenesis of alveolar bone graft in alveolar cleft patients using cone beam CT. METHODS:Alveolar bone grafting was performed in 25 patients with unilateral complete alveolar cleft. The patients were folowed up for 6 months after surgery and the osteogenesis of the bone graft was evaluated by CBCT. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the surgery, the labial bone support was better than the palatal one. There were significant differences in the alveolar bone thickness of the cleft region and the normal region of the central incisor as wel as the alveolar bone thickness of the cleft region and the normal region of the canine tooth 0 mm distant to the alveolar crest. These findings indicate that the palatal bone support is less than the labial one, and the bone support of the central incisor is not satisfactory, which provide the basis for the tooth movement in the alveolar bone grafting and the orthodontics treatment.

Objective To explore the possible effect and mechanism of quercetin (QU) in inhibiting scar formation after the alkali burn of rat's cornea. Methods We established corneal alkali-burn model on right eyes of the SD rats. The rats were divided into five groups randomly. The control group received blank ophthalmic gel; the QU treatment groups received 2.5, 5, 10, or 20g/kg quercetin ophthalmic gel, respectively. The rats were checked by slit-lamp microscope every day for the degree of corneal opacity, then were killed on day 4, 7, 14, 21 and 28 after operation. The infiltration of the inflammatory cells was observed by histology, the arrangement and proliferation of the collagen fibers in the corneal stroma were observed by Masson trichrome staining. The expression of transforming growth factor-β_1 (TGF-β_1) and receptor of transforming growth factor-βⅠ(TGF-βRⅠ) in cornea was observed by immunohistochemical method. Results The corneal opacity was less severe in the QU treatment groups than in the control group (P<0.05). Corneal scar was inhibited better in 10g/kg QU and 20g/kg QU groups than in 2.5g/kg and 5g/kg QU groups, and 10g/kg and 20g/kg QU groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). HE and Masson staining showed that the density of corneal stroma collagen fibers in the QU treatment groups was lower than that in the control group. The expression of TGF-β_1 and TGF-βRⅠ reached the peak on day 7 after alkali burn, and then decreased slowly, which was close to the normal level. The expression of TGF-β_1 and TGF-βRⅠ was inhibited better in 10g/kg and 20g/kg QU groups than in 2.5g/kg and 5g/kg groups, and 10g/kg and 20g/kg QU groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusion QU ophthalmic gel can reduce formation of corneal scar to a certain extent, 10g/kg is the optimal concentration. QU may play its role by inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1 and TGF-βRⅠ.
