Objective To explore the role of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs)in improving functional recovery and promoting neurogenesis in damaged area of ischemic rat brain by MRI,neurological severity score (NSS),and pathological examinations.Meth-ods EPCs wereseparated,cultured,and identified,ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide(USPIO)particles was used to label EPCs in vitro.Transient middle cerebral arterial occlusion(tMCAO)was successfully performed in 30 adult SD rats.Magnetically labeled cells(the experimental group)and normal saline (the control group)were injected intravenously into the tMCAO rats through the tail vein respectively,then MR imaging and NSS was performed 0 day,2 days,4 days,6 days and 8 days later.At last the paraffin-embedded rat brain tissues were obtained and examed by Prussian blue staining and Measurement of microvessel density.Re-sults EPCs wereseparated,cultured,and identified successfully.MR imaging showed significant low signal intensity at the ischemic area on T2 WI sequence.Prussian blue staining images were corresponding to the EPCs staining in vitro.The NSS and microvessel density in experimental group were significantly higher than in control group.Conclusion EPCs can migrate to the damage zone, improve functional recovery and promote neurogenesis in damaged area of ischemic rat brain,and may be a new source of multipoten-tial stem cells for stroke treatment.

0.05).SEM revealed that the lased enamel surface appeared various patterns of microirregularity, and there was no smear layer.Conclusion:Laser irradiation can be used to prepare the enamel before placing pit and fissure sealant.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of Er,Cr:YSGG laser combined with NaF treatment on the acid resistance of human dental hard tissue.Methods:The enamel or dentin samples were randomly divided into four groups and prepared by different methods as follows: ①without treatment(control group),②laser irradiation(Laser group),③ treated with 20 g/L NaF solution(NaF group),④laser irradiation+ NaF solution treatment(Laser and NaF group).The samples of each group were respectively demineralized in 0.1 mol/L of lactic acid for 24 h and the calcium ion in the demineralization solution in each group was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.The fluoride on the surface of the samples was examined by SED-X and the ultrastructure was investigated by SEM.Results:The concentrations of Ca~(2+) dissolved from the enamel or dentin samples in NaF,laser and NaF and laser groups were significantly lower than that in the control group(P(0.05)).Only in the NaF group,the F peak appeared.SEM observation showed the lased surface showed various patterns of microirregulation with a scaly appearance,the openings of dentinal tubules were visible,but no melting or carbonization;there were lot of particles attached to the surface of NaF treated samples;the ultrastructure of the NaF and laser-treated sample surfaces was similar to that of the laser treated.Conclusion:The combined use of laser and NaF dose not have synergetic effects on acid resistance of human dental hard tissue.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Astragalus granules on the expression of Caveolin-3(Cav-3)and Smad family member 3 (Smad3) in the myocardial cells of rats with viral myocarditis. METHODS:90 rats were randomly divided into a nor-mal group,a model group,a Shenmai injection group [positive drug,0.2 g/(kg·d)] and the groups of low,medium and high-dose Astragalus granules [0.42,0.84,1.68 g/(kg·d)],with 15 rats in each group. The rats in all groups except for the normal group were given CVB3 ip for the establishment of viral myocarditis model. Meanwhile,the rats in the drug administration groups were given corresponding drugs ig,while those in the normal group and the model group were given normal saline ig,for 15 consecu-tive days. 5 rats were selected from each group respectively on the 3rd,9th and 15th days of drug use to take an experiment. For the rats,the pathological change of the cardiac muscle tissue was observed and scored,and the mRNA and protein expression of Cav-3 and Smad3 in the myocardial cells were detected. RESULTS:After 15 days of drug use,compared to the normal group,the rats of the model group had hyperplasia of a large number of cardiac muscle fibers,obvious lesions at cardiac muscle fibers, and significantly higher pathological score and levels of the mRNA and protein expression of Cav-3 and Smad3 in the myocardial cells (P<0.05). Compared to the model group,the rats in the drug administration groups had cardiac muscle tissue lesions improved and had obviously lower pathological score and levels of the mRNA and protein expression of Cav-3 and Smad3 in the myocardial cells(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Astragalus granules can markedly downregulate the gene expression of Cav-3 and Smad3 in the myocardial cells of rats with viral myocarditis,which is inferred as a prevention and treatment mechanism of viral myocarditis.

Test on coagulation time,prothrombin time and platelet aggregation of mice and rats showed that all four species of Puhuang had effects on blood coagulation, in which Typha angustata Bory et Chaub. was the strongest followed by T. davidiana Hand. -Mazz., T. latifolia L,and T. angustifolia L. Their mechanism of coagulation were not the same,in which T. angustata Bory et Chaub. mainly acted on thrombogen,while T.davidiana Hand. -Mazz. mainly acted on platelet aggregation.

[Objective] To understand the application effect of aromatherapy massage by using plant extracts and its impact factors.[Methods] 94 pregnancy women whose Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(EPDS)assessment score ranged between 10～20 points were selected in this study.They were implemented the aromatherapy massage 24 hours after delivery.49 cases treated with implementa-tion of the aromatherapy massage from maternal to puerperium were set as the observation group,45 cases whose aromatherapy massage was interrupted by various reasons after discharge were named as the control group.The EPDS score and growth and development indexes were compared 7,14,28,42 days postpartum.[Results] The EPDS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group 28,42 days postpartum.The growth and development indexes if infants were better than in the control group.Family-related factor was a direct impact on continuous implementation of aromatherapy massage postpartum.[Conclusions] Continuous implementation of aromatherapy massage by using plant extracts in the whole puerperium combined with psychological counseling by the massage nurses can regulate the maternal emotion,alleviate depression of these women.The puerpera with higher EPDS scores can't take good care of the infants,and can affect the development of the infants.

Connexin (Cx) is the main component of gap junction channels, which is essential for intercellular communication between adjacent cells.Cx plays an important role in regulation of the growth, differentiation and apoptosis of cells and is closely related to tumor formation and development.The expression of Cx appears to be different in different stages of tumor development, and the regulatory mechanism of Cx is also involved in many aspects.In this paper, recent advances in the studies on Cx are reviewed, including the relationship between Cx and development of tumor, the basic mechanism of Cx, as well as its applications in antitumor-drug screening and tumor therapy.

Objective To analyze MRI features of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) in comparison with pathological findings. Methods The clinical manifestation, pathological features and the MRI appearances of 7 patients with pathologically proved pPNET were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among 7 patients, 2 patients located in intracalvarium, 2 in lower extremities, 1 in vertebral canal and extended outside of vertebral canal, 1 in cavitas pelvis and involved sacrum, and the rest 1 in the retroperitoneal space. The lesions in soft tissue manifested as iso-intensity on T1WI, slight hyper-intensity on T2WI with cystic degeneration and hemorrhage. Pseudo-capsule was seen in 1 patient. The solid parts of pPNET enhanced markedly after the contrast agent was injected. The adjacent bones were usually involved. pPNET in bone presented as osteolytic destruction of bone with large soft tissue mass. Immunohistochemical examination showed CD99 expression in all 7 patients, synaptophysin (Syn) expression in 4, Chromogranin (CgA) expression in 3, neuron specific enolase (NSE) expression in 2, vimentin (Vim) expression in 2 and EMA in 1 patient. Conclusion MRI has important reference value in diagnosis of pPNET, but final diagnosis still depends on the pathological and immunohistochemical examination.
