[Objective]To determine the effect of Oxfenmino hydrochloric acid on delayed allergic reaction in mouse. [ Method ] 120 ICR mice weighing 18~22g, half female and half male, were randomly and averagely divided into 6 groups according to weight:control group and model group (treated with distilled water at a dosage of 10ml/kg), three Oxfenmino hydrochloric acid groups (treated with Oxfenmino hydrochloric acid at a dosage of 10.0mg/kg, 5.0mg/kg and 2.5mg/kg respectively) and positive drug group (treated with CsA at a dosage of 15mg/kg); they were orally administered one time every day. After a continuous week of administration, all the groups were smeared evenly with 1%DNFB solution on the abdomen for allergy except the control group. Five days after allergy, 1%DNFB solution was smeared to right ear of all mice to stimulate the allergic reaction except that the control group was smeared with non-allergenic substance. 24 hours after attack, the auricle swelling, spleen index and thymus index in right mouse were determined. [ Result] Different dosages of Oxfenmino hydrochloric acid benefited to reduce auricle swelling, spleen index and thymus index in mouse with allergic reaction induced by DNFB at different degree. [ Conclusion] Oxfenmino hydrochloric acid can inhibit the delayed allergic reaction in mouse induced by DNFB and depress the ability of specific cell-mediated immunity.

BACKGROUND:With the research development of disc degeneration at molecular level, transforming growth factor β1 gene has a role in the proliferation and differentiation of intervertebral disc cels, and it is involved in the repair of intervertebral disc injury. But whether transforming growth factor β1 is also involved in pathophysiological process of disc degeneration has not been determined. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the relationship between transforming growth factor β1, inflammatory cytokines and degree of lumbar disc degeneration. METHODS: Twenty-two patients with lumbar disc degeneration (22 mild, 26 moderate and 24 severe cases) were enroled as observation group, and another 30 patients without lumbar disc degeneration served as control group. Levels of transforming growth factorβ1, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor α were detected and compared among patients with mild, moderate and severe lumbar disc degeneration as wel as between the observation and controlgroups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Levels of transforming growth factor β1, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor α were significantly higher in the observation group than the control group (P < 0.01). In the observation group, the above-mentioned indicators were ranked as folows: severe cases > moderate cases > mild cases (P < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between these indicators and the severity of lumbar disc degeneration (r=0.198, 0.312, 0.356, 0.275, 0.724,P < 0.01). These findings indicate that the levels of transforming growthfactor β1, interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor α are increased with the severity of lumbar disc degeneration.

The authors retrospectively analysed 67(63 in cervical cord)cases of traumatic SCIWOAR with positive MR abnormalities. It was deduced that the cases of SCIWOAR might be related with (1)those traumatic forces resulting in SCI being not so heavy and severe, (2)the cases orignally with cervical spondylopathy,(3)the limitation of the conventional X-ray examination for SCI,and (4)the cases of children relativly rare in our country and hospital.The ALL hematomas are the pathognomonic signs in the case of the acute cervical SCI within one week.The analysis demonstrated that MR investigation of the traumatic spine could give the clinical activities the correct diagnosis of different degree of SCI and dependable reference.

Objective To investigate the effects of alprostadil on expression of proinflammatory cytokines in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and evaluate the clinical efficacy.Methods Seventy-three SAP patients were collected from January 2014 to May 2016,and then were randomly divided into control group (n=37) and experimental group (n=36).On the basis of routine treatment,the experimental group patient was given alprostadil at a dose of 15μg/d.The expression of C-reactive protein (CRP),white blood cell (WBC) count,amylase,alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),creatinine,serum proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-1 beta (IL-1[β),interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected in serum on the 1st,3rd and 7th day.Results The biochemical indexes and expression ofproinflammatory cytokines were significantly increased in the two groups on the 1st day,and decreased gradually,with a significant difference between the time points (P<0.05),but the between-group difference was not significant (P>0.05).These indexes were decreased significantly with the passage of time and there were significant differences between the two groups at the 3rd and 7th day (P<0.05).Conclusion Alprostadil can effectively reduce the severity of early inflammatory reaction in SAP patients,and has important significance for improving the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the value and clinical significance of MRI in diagnosis of subcortical trabecular injury in knee.Methods45 patients with obvious pain but no fracture diagnosed by X-ray after knee trauma were scanned with MRI to analyze whether having injuries in subcortical trabecular and knee joint accessory structures.ResultsAll of the 45 cases had normal radiographic results in X-ray examination, but subcortical trabecular injury was found by MRI. MRI demonstrated irregular low signal in the subcortical region on both T1WI and T2WI. The high signal in fat suppressed T22subcortical trabecular and knee joint accessory structures.

Objective To analyze the feature of joint osteochondral lesions under the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods The finding under MRI in the 68 focal osteochondral lesions were classified with the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) classification, with the emphasis on articular cartilage and subchondral bone lesion.Results 58 lesions were classified as 4 grades: 2 focus of grade Ⅰ, 5 of grade Ⅱ, 14 of grade Ⅲ, 37 of grade Ⅳ. Other 10 focuses were grade Ⅰ of osteochondritis dissecans. MRI can discover subchondral bone lesion which couldn't be observed with arthroscopy. Conclusion MRI can accurately show the focal osteochondral lesions.

Objective To analyze the genetic variation among white hair black eyes (WHBE) rabbit, Japanese white ( JW) rabbit and New Zealand white ( NZW) rabbit using random amplified polymorphic DNA ( RAPD) technique . Methods Thirty rabbits (male/female 1∶1) of each strain were used in this study.The genomic DNA was extracted from 90 rabbits.Sixty arbitrary primers were used to amplify DNA of rabbits with RAPD-PCR method.Based on the preliminary experiments , polymorphic primers were selected to analyze the genetic variation among the three rabbit strains .The experi-mental data were analyzed using Popgene 3.2 software.Results (1) Twenty-five polymorphic primers were selected among 60 arbitrary primers.493 amplified fragments were detected ranging from 100 bp to 1800 bp.Sixteen primers among 25 arbitrary primers could not only amplify the common DNA bands of 3 rabbit breeds , but also amplify particular alleles in the WHBE rabbit.(2) 234 RAPD sites were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis in WHBE rabbit , among which 166 sites were polymorphic , accounting for 70.94%.228 RAPD sites were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis in the JW rabbit, while 122 sites of them were polymorphic , accounting for 53.51%.231 RAPD sites were detected by agarose gel e-lectrophoresis in the NZW rabbits , with 94 sites being polymorphic, accounting for 40.69%.(3) The Shannon genetic di-versity index of WHBE rabbit, JW rabbit and NZW rabbit was 0.3385, 0.2222 and 0.1905, respectively.(4) The genet-ic similarity between JW rabbit and NZW rabbit was highest among the three rabbit breeds (0.8443), followed by that be-tween WHBE rabbit and JW rabbit (0.8204), and the genetic similarity between WHBE rabbit and NZW rabbit (0.7862) was the lowest .Conclusions Our results demonstrate that there are both genetic similarities and genetic variations among WHBE rabbit, JW rabbit and NZW rabbit .The RAPD technique can be used to delect the genetic relationships among dif-ferent breeds and different individuals of the same breed of rabbits .
