Objective To evaluate the protective effect of large dose of ambroxol hydrochloride on lung ischemia reperfusion injury in rats and analyze the relationship between ambroxol hydrochloride and pulmonary vascular permeability mediators including EphrinAl, HIF-1α and VEGF at mRNA and protein levels.Methods Rats were operated by the thoracic posterolateral approach.The left lung is-chemia was induced by clamping the hilum of the left inflated lung for 60 minutes, and then followed by a 6-hour reperfusion.Forty rats were divided into ischemia-reperfusion group, ambroxol hydrochloride inter-vention group, sham operation group and blank control group.At the beginning of reperfusion, rats in am-broxol hydrochloride group were infused with ambroxol hydrochloride solution (3.75 mg ·kg~(-1) ·h~(-1)) via femoral vein for six hours.Then, PaO_2, wet-to-dry lung weight ratio, concentrations of IL-1β and TNF-a, activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO), mRNA and protein expressions of EphrinAl, HIF-1a and VECF were detected.Histopathological changes were observed under light microscope.Results (1) Histo-logical observation with light microscope showed significant decrease of diffuse alveolar damage consisting of septal edema, intraalveolar hemorrhage and exsudation in ambroxol hydrochloride group compared with ischemia-reperfusion group.The wet-to-dry lung weight ratio in ambroxol hydrochloride group was de-creased and PaO_2 was elevated significantly.(2) Compared with ischemia-reperfusion group, the concen-trations of IL-1β and TNF-α and activity of MPO in ambroxol hydrochloride group were decreased signifi-cantly.(3) The mRNA and protein expressions of EphrinAl, HIF-la and VEGF in ambroxol hydrochl-oride group did not recover to normal but were down-regulated significantly compared with ischemia-reper-fusion group.Conclusions (1) Large dose of ambroxol hydrochloride can alleviate the LJRI damage by down-regulating the expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α and the activity of MPO in the lung parenchyma.(2) The mRNA and protein expressions of EphrinA1, HIF-1α and VECF can be down-regulated by large dose of ambroxol hydrochloride, which contributes to alleviation of the LJRI damage.The results indicate possible role of gene regulation and fresh pharmacological effect of ambroxol hydrochloride during forma-tion of LIRI.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the characteristics and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss through vestibular evoked myogenic potentials. METHOD: Fifty patients with unilateral sudden hearing loss underwent an ear test battery, including audiometry, cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential(oVEMP). The cVEMP and oVEMP in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss were investigated. Their associations with initial hearing threshold, the type of audiogram, the results of coloric test and hearing recovery were also accessed. RESULT: After one-month treatment, the average threshold declined significantly in affected ears, with normal VEMP rates improved significantly (P < 0.05). Initial hearing threshold and hearing recovery were significantly associated with the results of coloric test and the results of VEMP test (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our study indicated that vestibular evoked myogenic potential examination was not only a useful additional diagnostic tool in the neurotological evaluation of patients suffering sudden hearing loss, but also very valuable in the prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the reason of heterotopic ossification after cervical artificial disc replacement and the degeneration of cervical facet joints.Methods From May 2009 to May 2012,133 patients who had undergone cervical artificial disc replacement were included into this study.There were 74 males and 59 females with an average age of 42.63±4.15 years old (range,23-56 years old).There were 109 patients who had undergone single level implant,and 24patients double level implant.Cervical spine A-P and the flexion-extension X-rays were taken to assess the range of motion (ROM)of the surgical level.Degeneration degree of patients' cervical facet joints were evaluated by Park grading standards with the preoperative cervical CT scan images on GE-PACS system.Heterotopic ossification (HO) situation were evaluated by McAfee classification through cervical lateral X-ray film.Patients were divided into two groups (HO group and non-HO group) according to whether heterotopic ossification appeared during the follow-up period.The data were collected before surgery to the latest follow-up.Results The average follow-up time was 2.9 years (range,2.0-4.8 years).HO was detected in 25 patients (18.80％,25/133) at latest follow-up.The ROM of surgical level of patients in HO group was significantly lower than non-HO group (6.8°±3.9° vs 9.1 °±2.4°).In addition,the degeneration degree of cervical facet joints of patients in HO group was significantly higher than that in non-HO group.There was a significant correlation between preoperative cervical facet joint degeneration and the occurrence of HO after CDR (r=0.683,P=0.033).Conclusion There was a significant correlation between preoperative cervical facet joint degeneration and the occurrence of HO after CDR.Patients present HO after surgery have significantly higher degeneration degree of cervical facet joints than patients without HO.Patients with higher degree of HO may have a higher level of cervical facet joints degeneration.

BACKGROUND:Stromal cel derived factor-1 is a smal molecular protein with a wide range of biological activity that can cause immune cel chemotaxis, and it also has a chemotactic effect on bone marrow stem cels and periodontal ligament cels.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of stromal cel derived factor-1 with different concentrations on the proliferation of bone marrow stem cels and to probe the best concentration.
METHODS:Bone marrow stem cels from beagle dogs were culturedin vitro and stimulated by different concentrations of stromal cel derived factor-1 (100, 200, 300 μg/L). MTT was used to detect the influence of stromal cel derived factor-1 on the proliferation of bone marrow stem cels so as to screen the best concentration of stromal cel derived factor-1. Then, stromal cel derived factor-1 at the best concentrations was used to intervene the bone marrow stem cels, and MTT was used again to detect the proliferation of bone marrow stem cels.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Stromal cel derived factor-1 at concentrations of 100, 200, 300 μg/L could promote the proliferation of bone marrow stem cels, and the effect was more notable at 200 and 300 μg/Lbut withno significant difference. Therefore, 200 μg/L was considered to be the best concentration of stromal cel derived factor-1 for intervention of bone marrow stem cels. Compared with the blank control group, 200 μg/L stromal cel derived factor-1 could significantly promote the proliferation of bone marrow stem cels. Taken together, stromal cel derived factor-1 can promote the proliferation of bone marrow stem cels, and its best concentration is 200 μg/L.
