Objective To investigate the survival, differentiation and action of neural stem cell transplanted into striatum of Parkinson disease rat model. Methods Neural stem cells were isolated and cultured. The character of self-renewing was confirmed by technique of single cell clone culture. The ability of multi-directional differentiation and specific antigen-nestin was showed by immunocytochemistry(ICC). PD rat models were established, and the DAPI-labelled neural stem cells were transplanted into striatum. The 6-HHDA induced rotary behavior was measured, distribution and migration of the cell were checked by fluoresce activating. ICC and HPLC are used to see its differentiation and action of secrete neurotransmitter dopamine(DA) and it’s metabolites. Results The cultured stem cell express nestin and have the ability of self-renewing and multi-directional differentiation. 6-HHDA induced rotation decreased after transplantation of NSC into the PD rat striatum(P

MicroRNAs(miRNAs)are a group of non-coding RNA molecules having modulating function,and as a post transcriptional modulating factor is involved in the modulation of expression of eukaryotic genes. Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic non-specific intestinal inflammatory disease and its etiology has not yet been fully clarified. Recent studies have shown that circulating miRNAs were specifically expressed in patients with IBD. This article reviewed the advances in studies on circulating miRNAs and IBD.

Objective: To study the effect and possible mechanism of Ginsenoside Rg1 in sports CNS fatigue and dose-response relationship.Methods: Kun Ming male mice were divided randomly into 6 groups: control group and five different doses groups(5,10,20,40,80 mg/kg).They were treated orally with Ginsenoside Rg1 for 2 weeks.The levels of amino acids of brain tissue were tested after swimming for 90 min and the exhaustive swimming time were recorded.Results: The levels of BCAA and the ratio of BCAA/AAA in groups 5,10 and 20 mg/kg were significantly higher than control group and the levels of AAA in groups 5,10,20 and 40 mg/kg were significantly decreased.The exhaustive swimming time in groups 5,10 and 20 mg/kg were much longer than in control group.Conclusion: Through adjusting the ratio of BCAA and AAA and decreasing the level of excitatory amino acids neurotransmitter,Ginsenoside Rg1 can elevate movement ability and resist against CNS fatigue.The roles of mid-low and low doses may be better.

Objective To explore the endogenesis metabolizer character of kidney-yang insufficiency syndrome model rats caused by hydrocortisoni natrii succinas with metabolomics technology. Methods Twenty four Sprague-Dawley(SD)male rats were divided randomly into a normal group, a kidney-yang insufficiency model group, and a oral administration group, eight rats in each group. After producing kidney-yang insufficiency model by injecting hydrocortisoni natrii succinas intramuscularly, oral administration group rats were administered orally with white prepared lateral root of aconite every day for two weeks. After twenty-four hour the last oral administration, the blood plasm were prepared and used for testing endogenesis metabolism with the liquid phase color spectrum-mass spectra (LC/MS) metabolomics technology. Results Apices shape change of lysophosphatidyl choline (LPC) and lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine(LPE) and 468.4m/z unbeknown chemical compound of normal rats were distinct from those of model rats. Above-mentioned chemical compound as chief material symbols of kidney-yang insufficiency syndrome might be farther studied. Conclusion Finding out differential symbol from endogenesis metabolizer with metabolomics technology was redounded to deep exploring the biology essence of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome.

Objective To explore the feasibility of immediate breast reconstruction with subpectoral implantation of silicon gel prosthesis after nipple-areola complex (NAC) sparing modified radical mastectomy. Methods A total of 28 patients of 0,I,II stage breast cancer were implanted with silicon gel prosthesis immediately after they underwent skin-sparing modified radical mastectomy. NAC conservation depended on frozen section result. Results NAC of all the 28 patients were conserved. During 2-18 months (median15 months) follow-up, bilateral breasts were symmetrical and in good appearance with a 96.5% excellent rate. No local recurrence, distant metastasis or obvious complications occurred. Conclusions Immediate breast reconstruction with subpectoral implantation of silicon gel prosthesis after NAC sparing modified radical mastectomy is proven to be an effective and safe method with the advantage of good appearance and shorter recovery time in early-stage breast cancer.

Objective To explore the relationship between the four different molecular subtypes of locally advanced breast cancer(LABC) and the clinical effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy containing docetaxel and anthracyclines on breast cancer. Methods The record of 68 patients with LABC who were treated with the therapeutic scheme was reviewed. Breast cancer molecules were diagnosed by core needle biopsy through IHC and were divided into four subtypes. After 3 to 5 courses of treatment, the relationship of molecular subtype and clinical effects was analyzed. Results Univariate analysis showed that absence of estrogen receptor (ER) expression and size of tumor (≤5cm) were predictive factors for clinical complete response (cCR) (P<0.05).Over expression of HER-2 and molecular subtypes were predictive for pathologic complete response (pCR) (P<0.05). pCR rate of HER2+/ER- subtype in this therapeutic scheme was, higher than that of other subtypes and pCR rate of Luminal A subtype was the lowest. Multivariate analysis showed that molecular subtypes cant be the predictive factors for this therapeutic scheme (P>0.05) and only HER-2 (P<0.05) was the independent variable in predicting pCR for this therapeutic scheme. Conclusion Molecular subtypes can not independently predict pCR for neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen containing docetaxel and anthracyclines.

BACKGROUND: Hydroxyapatite/chitosan (HA/CS) complex may act as a drug carrier for drug release, but little is reported about the release amount and antibacterial effect of minocycline-HA/CS (Mino-HA/CS) complex. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the in vitro release and antibacterial property of Mino-HA/CS complex. METHODS: HA/CS and Mino-HA/CS were prepared using co-precipitation method. The surface and cross-section features of the complexes were observed under scanning electron microscopy. The porosities were measured according to Archimedes Principle. The release of minocycline hydrochloride was measured by high performance liquid chromatography with the simulated saliva as drug release media. In vitro antibacterial effect on Porphyromonas gingivalis and Staphylococcus aureus were measured by bacteria-inhibiting ring method. Biological toxicities were evaluated via cel counting kit-8cel proliferation assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The porosity of Mino-HA/CS was larger than that of HA/CS, with the average porosity of 53.99%. Single-day release amount of Mino-HA/CS could maintain at the level of 0.5-1 μg per day for a long-term. Bacteriostatic rings of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Staphylococcus aureus stil existed clearly after 7 days. Cel proliferation assays showed that Mino-HA/CS extract had the significant effect on promoting cel proliferation. These findings indicate that the Mino-HA/CS sustains the release of minocycline at a relatively stable level within a longer period, shows good inhibitory effect on Porphyromonas gingivalis and Staphylococcus aureus and promotes the proliferation of periodontal ligament cel s.
