Objective: To investigate the effect of dimethyl dicarboxylate biphenyl ( DDB) on the proliferation, apoptosis and PPARγ expression of hepatic stellate cells. Methods: HSC-T6 cells were cultured in 96-well plates and 6-well plates, and after the 24-hour drug treatment, the influence of DDB on the proliferation and apoptosis of HSC-T6 were detected respectively by CCK-8 kit and flow cytometry. Quantitative real-time-PCR ( Q-PCR) and Western blotting were adopted to determine the effect of DDB on the PPARγmRNA level and the protein expression in HSC-T6 cells. Results:DDB obviously inhibited the proliferation of HSC-T6 (P<0. 05) and significantly promoted the apoptosis of HSC-T6 (P<0. 05) at the experimental concentration (8-64 μmol·L-1) when compared with the control group (0 μmol·L-1). The expression of PPARγ in drug-treated HSC-T6 was notably improved. Conclusion: DDB can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of HSC-T6 cells by up-regulating the expression of PPARγ.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of the juxta-artieular bone cyst (intraosseous ganglia). Methods The imaging findings of 54 cases histopathologically confirmed were studied retrospectively. X-ray, CT, and MRI were performed in 46 eases,30 cases, and 14 cases, respectively.Results Of the 54 cases, 27 arised from the ankle (including multiple lesions), 16 from the knee joint,7 from the hip joint, 1 from the proximate end of the humerus, ulna, trapezium bone, the first phalange in each, and 1 from the talus and the distal end of the tibia. There were 43 eases (44 lesions) in the ankle and knee joints, with 29 (65.9%) lesions located in the medial articular surface. Fifty-four eases had thinning sclerotic rim, showing a unilocular round osteolytic appearance in 44 cases and a muhiloculated-cystic appearance with septa in 10 cases. Discontinuous articular surface were seen in 15 cases, articular surface collapse in 1, gas density in 3 and fluid-fluid plane in 1. (1) On x-ray films, 46 cases (47 lesions) with well-defined sclerotic rim revealed round, arch or irregular lyric areas at the adjacent articular surface. The fissures were found at the adjacent articular surface in 6 lesions. No joint spaces were abnormal. (2)On CT,30 cases with sclerotic rim showed round in 19 lesions, arch in 3, and irregular in 8. The fissures were seen at the adjacent articular surface in 14 lesions. The density showed homogeneous in 27 lesions, and gas existed in 3. (3) Fourteen cases (15 lesions)showed hypointense to isointense signal on MR T1 Wl and hyperintense signal on T2WI. Fluid- fluid plane was found in 1 ease. The fissures were observed at the adjacent articular surface in 8 lesions. 7 cases showed swelling soft tissue. Conclusion The characteristic locations combined with the typical imaging features may suggest the diagnosis of jaxta-articular bone cyst.

Objective To analyze the epidemiologieal features and treatment of brain injury in Chinese Wenchuan earthquake so as to provide the experiences for improving treatment level. Methods A total of 685 patients with earthquake-induced brain injury in the City of Deyang were collected to ana-lyze age, injury type, injury localization and treatment characteristics. Results Of large number of earthquake victims, the number of the patients with brain injury ranked the second place, mainly minor and moderate brain injuries involving scalp laceration for the most and skull fracture and extradural hema-toma for the next. As for the age distribution of the patients, young and middie-aged patients accounted for the most, for they were at school or at work when the earthquake happened. Obvious position distribu-tion features were found in depressed fracture of skull and extredural hematoma but not in the scalp lacera-tion. Depressed fracture of skull occurred mostly at forehead and occiput while extradural hematoma could be most seen at froutotemple. Most brain injuries were combined with other injuries. Mainly extremity and pelvic fractures. Conclusions Self-protection sense and measures during earthquake are very important for decreasing incidence and severity of brain injuries. The management of rospimtory tract in prehospital care should be strengthened to avoid asphyxia and hence raise the success rate of treatment.

Objective To observe ultramicro pathologic change of rabbit brain central damaged tissue and peripheral tissue after LOT, to evaluate the changed structure of blood brain barrier (BBB) of peripheral tissue in acute stage. Method Seventy Newzealand rabbits were randomly screened from Zhejiang University Animal Experiment Center. By stereotaxic technique, semiconductor surgica laser fibers were inserted into right frontal lobes and heat treated to randomly build LITT Group A (2 W, 600 s, n = 20) and LITT Group B (15 W, 100 s, n = 20) brain damaged models successfully. Other 15 nomal rabbits were randomly distributed as mannitol perfusion group and fake operation group. The ultramicro structures in central thermodamaged tissue were observed with transmission electro microscope after LITT 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h. In peripheral tissue, ultramicro morphologic changes of brain vessels and BBB were evaluated. S100B protein in serum and BBB indexe were measured at different stages post LITT. Experimental data were treated as one-factor analysis of variance and q test. Results The brain damage center connected the tip of laser fiber and turn into thermodamage tissue. The main structure changes were cytoclasis, damnification of cell membrum, swelling of cell organelle such as mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulurn,disappearance of mitochondrion and sparseness of cytoplasm in local tissure. Heat energy conducted to damage peripheral tissue, some cells occured apoptosis in different stage. In acute stage after LITT, contracted capillary vessel, oncreted red cell, swell endothelium cell, broken base membrum, wide around clearance and destroyed aperture structure were identified. The levels of serum S100B and BBB indexe dramatically rised. The opening time of BBB in peripheral tissue was longer than mannital perfusion group. However at 24 h post LITT, they began to recover in Group A. The difference of serum S100B and BBB indexe between Group A and Group B has statistical significance ( P =0.0087). Conclusions With semiconductor laser heat treatment and stereotaxic techniqe, definite cells cytoclasis, cell membrance structures and chondriosome damage could be performed obviously in rabbit brain thermotherapy point. Apoptosis could be found in peripheral tissue, BBB could be opened in an acute stage. The opening time course of BBB was shortened in those LITT cases with small power. It shew us a new method to perform a safe and exact damage zone of brain for functional neurosurgery.

Objective To study the effect of interventional treatment of iliac and femoral vein stenosis concomitant with deep venous thrombosis. Method Fifty-three patients were divided into 5 groups. In group A after placing into inferior vena cava a filter,11 patients adopted Amplatz Trombectomy Device for thrombolysis or ORSIS thrombolysis and persistent thrombolysis through popliteal vein. In group B thrombus was taken out through guiding catheter and then persistent thrombolysis through popliteal vein after placing into inferior vena cava filters in 9 cases. In group C 13 patients adopted persistent thrombolysis through femoral arteries. In group D 8 patients received persistent thrombolysis through popliteal vein. In group E persistent thrombolysis through foot veins was carried out in 12 patients. Seventeen patients received implanted stents and balloon-expansion in iliac and femoral veins. Results Symptoms disappeared in 26 patients(49.0%), significantly improved in 21 patients (39.6%), improved in 3 patients (5.7%), did not improve in 3 patients (5.7%), respectively. The repatency of iliac and femoral vein was achieved in more than 80% of the 17 patients. Complications developed in 3 cases in the course of thrombolysis. Conclusion The effect of mechanical removal of thrombus, persistent thrombolysis through catheter and transluminal angioplasty is safe and satisfactory.

Objective To fabricate cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) oriented scaffolds and investigate the attachment, proliferation, distribution and orientation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) cultured within the scaffolds in vitro. Methods Cartilage slices were shattered in sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and the suspension were differentially centrifugated untill the micro- fiber of the cartilage extracellular matrix was disassociated from the residue cartilage fragments. At last the supernatant were centrifugated, the precipitation were collected and were made into 2%-3% suspension. Using unidirectional solidification as a freezing process and freeze-dried method, the cartilage extracellular matrix derived oriented scaffolds was fabricated. The scaffolds were then cross-linked by exposure to ultraviolet radiation and immersion in a carbodiimide solution. By light microscope and scan electron microscope (SEM) observation, histological staining, and biomechanical test, the traits of scaffolds were studied. After being labelled with PKH26 fluorescent dye, rabbit BMSCs were seeded onto the scaffolds. The attachment, proliferation and differentiation of the cells were analyzed using inverted fluorescent microscope. Results The histological staining showed that toluidine blue, safranin O, alcian blue and anti-collagen Ⅱ immunohistochemistry staining of the scaffolds were positive. A perpendicular pore-channel structures which has a diameter of 100 μm were verified by light microscope and SEM analysis. The cell-free scaffolds showed the compression moduli were (2.02±0.02) MPa in the mechanical testing. Inverted fluorescent microscope showed that most of the cells attached to the scaffold. Cells were found to be widely distributed within the scaffold, which acted as a columnar arrangement. The formation of a surface cells layer was found on the surface of the scaffolds which resembled natural cartilage. Coclusion The cartilage extracellular matrix derived oriented scaffolds have promising biological, structural, and mechanical properties.
