Previous studies proposed that the synergistic effect of fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) and insulin may be due to the improvement of insulin sensitivity by FGF-21. However, there is no experimental evidence to support this. This study was designed to elucidate the mechanism of synergistic effect of FGF-21 and insulin in the regulation of glucose metabolism. The synergistic effect of FGF-21 and insulin on regulating glucose metabolism was demonstrated by investigating the glucose absorption rate by insulin resistance HepG2 cell model and the blood glucose chances in type 2 diabetic db/db mice after treatments with different concentrations of FGF-21 or/and insulin; The synergistic metabolism was revealed through detecting GLUT1 and GLUT4 transcription levels in the liver by real-time PCR method. The experimental results showed that FGF-21 and insulin have a synergistic effect on the regulation of glucose metabolism. The results of real-time PCR showed that the effective dose of FGF-21 could up-regulate the transcription level of GLUT1 in a dose-dependent manner, but had no effect on the transcription level of GLUT4. Insulin (4 u) alone could up-regulate the transcription level of GLUT4, yet had no effect on that of GLUT1. Ineffective dose 0.1 mg kg(-1) FGF-21 alone could not change the transcription level of GLUT1 or GLUT4. However, when the ineffective dose 0.1 mg x kg(-1) FGF-21 was used in combination with insulin (4 u) significantly increased the transcription levels of both GLUT1 and GLUT4, the transcription level of GLUT1 was similar to that treated with 5 time concentration of FGF-21 alone; the transcription level of GLUT4 is higher than that treated with insulin (4 u) alone. In summary, in the presence of FGF-21, insulin increases the sensitivity of FGF-21 through enhancing GLUT1 transcription. Vice versa, FGF-21 increases the sensitivity of insulin by stimulating GLUT4 transcription in the presence of insulin. FGF-21 and insulin exert a synergistic effect on glucose metabolism through mutual sensitization.

OBJECTIVETo study the therapeutic method and effect of minimally invasive surgery for the thoracolumbar fractures.
METHODSA retrospective review of the minimally invasive surgically treatment thoracolumbar fractures from February 2005 to June 2010 was performed. There were 183 cases, 126 males and 57 females, aged 18 to 68 years, average 38.9 years. The involved levels of fractures were T(11) in 22, T(12) in 61, L(1) in 71, L(2) in 29. According to Gertzbein classification, 145 cases were type A fractures, 34 cases were type B fractures, 4 cases were type C fractures; According to Load-sharing score, 51 cases were 4 scores, 56 cases were 5 scores, 17 cases were 6 scores, 12 cases were 7 scores, 24 cases were 8 scores, 23 cases were 9 scores. Different surgical methods were selected according to the minimally invasive surgical strategy, 22 patients were treated with the minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screws osteosynthesis (MIPPSO group), 102 patients were treated with the small-incision pedicle screws osteosynthesis (SISPSO group), 31 patients were treated with the small incision anterior thoracolumbar surgery (SIATS group) assisted by thoracoscope or headlight, and 28 patients were treated with the 270° decompression and reconstruction surgery (270° DRS group) via a posterior small incision. Preoperative and postoperative neurological status, the correction and loss of Cobb's angle, the decompression scope of spinal canal, the location and union of bone graft were followed up and reviewed.
RESULTSAll of 183 cases had successful surgery and were followed up. In the MIPPSO group, operative time was 52 - 100 min, blood loss was 35 - 55 ml. In the the SISPSO group, operative time was 48-68 min, the blood loss was 45 - 65 ml the correction of Cobb's angle in the two groups was 8° - 19°. In the SIATS group, operative time was 140 - 220 min, the blood loss was 160 - 1500 ml the correction of Cobb's angle was 15° - 25°, 1 case had pleural effusion, 1 had lateral femoral cutaneous nerve damage, the complications disappeared after treatment. In the 270° DRS group the operative time was 160-280 min, the blood loss was 700 - 4700 ml, the correction of Cobb's angle was 15° - 28°. The spinal canal mass was removed, the spinal canal was enlarged and completely decompressed. Neurological status improved in all of the preoperative incomplete paraplegia patients except 1 case whose neurological symptoms aggravated.
CONCLUSIONIt is satisfactory that the minimally invasive surgical strategy was rational used in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures.

Vessel injury provokes a release in proinflammatory cytokines that influence vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. The purposes of this study was to determine the effects of recombinant human interleukin-10 (rhIL-10) on rat vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and the activity of p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) promoted by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Rat aortic VSMCs were cultured and treated with rhIL-10 or TNF-alpha respectively, and then cotreated with rhIL-10 and TNF-alpha. The proliferation of VSMCs was quantified by colormetric assay. Cell cycle analysis was performed by flow cytometry. The p44/42 MAPK activity was evaluated by the immunoblotting technique using anti-p44/42 phospho-MAPK antibody. Compared to control group, TNF-alpha stimulated significantly VSMC proliferation in TNF-alpha group. rhIL-10 alone had no effect on VSMC growth, but significantly inhibited VSMC proliferation induced by TNF-alpha at a dose of 10 ng/ml. The cell number in G(0)/G(1) phase of TNF-alpha and rhIL-10 co-treatment group was higher than that of TNF- alpha group (P<0.01) by flow cytometry analysis. The p44/42 MAPK activity was significantly enhanced by TNF-alpha and the TNF-alpha effect was opposed by rhIL-10. It is suggested that rhIL-10 can inhibit TNF-alpha induced VSMC proliferation and phosphorylation of p44/42 MAPK.
