1.Clinical research progress on reconstruction after sacral tumor resection
Orthopedic Journal of China 2006;0(09):-
Tumors of the sacrum are rare.The valve of adjuvant is uncertain,and en bloc tumor resection remains the primary mode of treatment.But en bloc tumor resectiong often leads to unstability of the pelvic ring.Therefore,the most factor providing the successful outcome in the management of sacral tumor is how to establish stability in the lumbo-sacrai junction.The various spinopelvic reconstruction techniques are reported in the literature.This includes various methods triangular frame reconstruction,or lilac rod or iliac screw fixation,modified galveston,custom-made prosthesis and so on.The authors review the modes of reconstruction after sacral tumor resection and discuss the outcomes.

AIM To study the glucose and lipids metabolis m and insulin sensitivity of MSG rats during their growing period, and to evalua te the effects of insulin sensitizer pioglitazone on the model rats. MET HODS Body weights were measured regularly, and glucose and insulin tole rance tests were taken. In their 3 and 10 months old, rats were given insulin se nsitizer pioglitazone orally, then the effects on serum glucose, triglyceride, c holesteral, free fatty acid and insulin concentrations were determined. RESULTS Compared with normal rats, a slight but significant increase of glucose in MSG rats was revealed. The serum triglyceride, cholesteral, free fat ty acid and insulin concentrations were significantly higher in model rats. More over, gluconeogenesis increased significantly, and insulin tolerance showed abno rmal. However, glucose tolerance was nearlly normal. Pioglitazone could ameliora te all these metabolic disorders. CONCLUSION Obesity and insuli n resistance were induced by injecting monosodium glutamate (MSG) to neonatal Wi star rats. Pioglitazone can significantly improve the insulin sensitivity of MSG rats. These results suggested that MSG obese rats can be used as an easily acce ssible and inexpensive insulin resistance animal model for evaluating the effica cy and mechanisms of antidiabetic agents.

Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor(PPAR), a member of the hormone receptor superfamily, is a key regulating factor in adipocyte differentiation and lipids metabolism. Recently, with the increased understanding of the precise mechanisms of TZD, thiazolidinedione class of insulin sensitizer, PPAR? has also been identified as the major functional receptor for the drugs. In the study of the relationship between PPAR and insulin resistance, considerable gaps appeared. TZD induced activation of PPAR? is known to promote insulin sensitivity. More interestingly, however, PPAR? +/- heterozygous mice were shown to be less susceptible to insulin resistance. These findings suggest that the relationship between PPAR activation and insulin sensitivity improvement is not simplely positively related. A better understanding of the role of PPAR in insulin action system will be critical in developing more efficacious and safe agents that act on PPAR and benefit patients with type 2 diabetes.

Vanadium (V) is one of the trace elements It exists in many oxidation states which exhibit different biological activities. Our results in alloxan diabetic mice suggest that NaVO3 and VOSO4 can decrease blood glucose level. The hy-poglycemic effest of VOSO4 was found to be weaker than that of NaVO3, the toxicity ofVOSO4 is also lower. However VOSO4; showed no effect in normal mice. The mechanism of the hypoglycemic effect of VOSO4 appears to be similar to that of insulin.

Objective To assess the variation of salivary gland function in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients receiving different doses of 131 I therapy in the first.Methods 40 DTC patients were divided into two groups according to the application 131I doses,salivary scintigraphy was performed with 99TcmO4-on DTC patients before and 3months after 131 I therapy.Quantitative analysis of salivary gland function were performed.Results In low dose group,only the uptake ratio of 30min (UR30) of bilateral parotid decreased ( P < 0.05 ) ; but in high - dose group,the uptake ratio of 30min (UR30),excretion fraction ( EF ),excretion rate (ER) of bilateral parotid and submandibular glands were significantly decreased,excretion time(EP) significantly prolonged after 131 I therapy( all P <0.05) ;the parotid gland was more severely than the submandibular gland.Conclusion Salivary gland function was damaged of DTC patients receiving different doses of 131I therapy in the first,salivary gland dysfunction correlated well with the administered dose.

The therapeutic effect of a natural foodstuffs--Wei-Luo powder (WLP)composed of high protein, various essential amino acids, vitamins (B1, B2 and E), and trace elements (Fe, Zn, etc), on both monosodium glutamate (MSG) induced obese mice and alloxan diabetic mice were tested. After 16 days of feeding with WLP diet, the body weight and accumulation of fat in liver and adipose tissue (Lee index) in MSG mice were decreased significantly, WLP diet also caused significant reduction in carbohydrate tolerance of mice as compared with wheat diet. In addition, improvement of hyperglycemia and diabetic symptoms (polydipsia, polyuria and hyperphagia) in alloxan diabetic mice were observed. These results suggest that WLP diet may be beneficial for obesity and diabetic patients.

Aim To investigate the influence of intranasal delivery of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)on cerebral blood supply and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).Methods Wistar rats were divided into normal control group,SAH group,intranasal normal saline(NS)+SAH group and intranasal CGRP+SAH group.SAH models were produced by double injection of autologous arterial blood into cisterna magna.CGRP and NS were given by intranasal perfusion.Dynamic observations of regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF)of cerebral cortex were made using a laser Doppler flowmeter probe.On the third day after the second cisternal injection,the expression of VEGF protein in cerebral cortex was observed by immunofluorescence method combined with laser confocal microscopic observation.Results Anatomic observation revealed that SAH models were successfully manufactured.In SAH and intranasal NS+SAH groups,a drastic and persistent drop in rCBF was noted during the observed periods.The decrease of rCBF in intranasal CGRP+SAH group was slighter as compared with that in SAH and intranasal NS+SAH groups.In SAH and intranasal NS+SAH groups,increased expression of VEGF protein in cerebral cortex was observed on the third day after second cisternal injection as compared with that in normal control group.The expression of VEGF in intranasal CGRP+SAH group was more obvious than that in intranasal NS+SAH group.Conclusion Intranasal delivery of CGRP improves cerebral blood supply and promotes angiogenesis by enhancing the expression of VEGF after SAH.
