Objective To investigate calcification of cultured aortic medial cells in vitro and acceleration by 25 hydroxycholesterol or ? glycerophosphate. Methods Aortic medial cells were obtained by explantation, and the calcification was observed by von Kossa staining. Insoluble calcium precipitation in cellular layer was determined by biochemical method , and osteocalcin in the media was analyzed with radioimmunoassay. Results Two different types of primary cells were shown from culture: one with parallel cellular growth and being negative by von Kossa staining, the other cell type formed cellular nodules with positive von Kossa staining. After 28 days of cell passages, cell growth appeared no nodule formation. However, many cellular nodules and positive von Kossa staining were observed in the passaged cells treated with 25 hydroxycholesterol or ? glycerophosphate, and both insoluble calcium 〔(57 80?18 50)?g/pool, (67 50?15 30)?g/pool〕and osteocalcin 〔(0 886?0 063)?g/L, (0 895?0 061)?g/L〕in the medium were significantly increased than that of the untreated cells. Conclusions Cultured aortic medial cells could be divided into two subtypes, one with the characters of smooth muscle cells, the other with the micro vascular pericytes which could calcify the extracellular matrix. 25 hydroxycholesterol and ? glycerophosphate promoted the in vitro calcification, and osteocalcin secretion was increased in the process of calcification of aortic medial, suggesting that osteocalcin might participate in the aortic calcification.

BACKGROUND:Mechanical property test is an important method for assessing the therapeutic effect of drug therapy in osteoporosis animal models. But there are rare reports on the three-point bending mechanical test for evaluating the therapeutic effects of a variety of drugs on a female rat model of senile osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE: To explore the interventional effects ofDanqi particles, premarin, ipriflavone and αD3 in a rat model of osteoporosis through the three-point bending mechanical test. METHODS:Forty-eight female Wistar rats were randomized into six groups, and animal models of senile osteoporosis were made in al rats except for those in the normal control group. Then, the rats were givenDanqi particles (0.9g/kg/d), ipriflavone (1 mg/kg/d), αD3 (0.1 mg/ka/d) and premarin (0.3 mg/kg/d) in theDanqi, ipriflavone, αD3 and premarin groups, respectively. An electronic universal testing machine was used to perform the three-point bending mechanical test on the bilateral tibiae of rats. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, the maximum load, maximum stress, maximum bending moment, maximum stress, elastic modulus of the tibia were significantly higher in theDanqi, ipriflavone and premarin intervention groups (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the maximum load, maximum stress, maximum strain and modulus of elasticity between αD3 and model groups (P > 0.05). There were also no significant differences in the maximum load, maximum stress and maximum strain between the Danqi and normal control groups (P> 0.05). These findings indicate thatDanqi, ipriflavone and premarin interventions have good achievements in the three-point bending mechanical test, and theDanqi particles have the best intervention effects. αD3 has no obvious effects on the three-point bending mechanical performance.

Objective To explore the efficacy of microvascular decompression (MVD)on trigeminal neuralgia and the anatomical characteristics of the responsible blood vessels.Methods The clinical data of 25patients with idiopathic trigemine neuralgia(ITN) undergoing MVD were analyzed retrospectively.The origins of the responsible blood vessels and sites of compression at the trigeminal root were observed and determined.Meanwhile,the anatomical characteristics of the responsible blood vessels and the efficacy of MVD were investigated.Results The offending vessels which were responsible for ITN were identified at root exit zone (REZ) in 21 cases (84%).The most common responsible vessel was the superior cerebellar artery in 13 cases (52%),followed by anterior inferior cerebellar artery in 6 cases (24%).Seventy six percent of the offending vessels were arteries and 8% were rock vein.No vascular compression but evident increase in the thickness of arachnoid mater covered by the trigeminal nerve was observed in 4 cases ( 16% ).All patients were relieved for the acute pain and the overall cure rate was 96%.Conclusion MVD is a safe,microinvasive and effective surgical modality for ITN.The key for better outcomes and less complications of MVD is to improve microsurgical techniques and deal with all the involved vessels.

Objective To explore the impact of the ratio between pelvic tilt (PT) and sacral slope (SS) on the life quality of patients with ankylosing spndylitis (AS) after kyphosis correction. Methods From November 2008 to May 2011, 33 AS pa?tients were reviewed, including 31 males and 2 females, aged from 19 to 58 years old (average, 36 years old). The thoracolumbar kyphosis angle was 35.23° ± 13.98° (range, 15.12°-74.37° ) and the lumbar lordosis angle was 8.68° ± 18.27° (range,-23.70°-62.15°). The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)?22 questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to evaluate the condition of pain. The pelvic incidence (PI), PT, SS, sagittal vertical axis (SVA) and osteoto?my angle were obtained from standing lateral full?spine radiographs. The correlations were analyzed from the subjective grading and the sagittal parameters in AS patients. Results The osteotomy site was in L1 (5 cases, 21.00°-54.59° , average 32.59° ± 13.44° ), L2 (19 cases, 28.63°-66.24° , average 37.89° ± 9.26° ), L3 (9 cases, 31.78°-60.90° , average 47.05° ± 9.20° ), respectively. The range of osteotomy angle was 39.59°±10.82° (range, 21.00°-66.24°). The subjective grading and spino?pelvic parameters were improved significantly after operation except PI, only postoperative PT/SS (0.93±0.65) and ODI standing (0.60±0.75)(r=0.681, P<0.05), osteotomy angle (39.59°±10.82°) and satisfaction of management (3.33±0.49)(r=0.478, P<0.05)had correlation with the subjective grading. Conclusion Compared with the change of PT, SS and SVA, the change of PT/SS is more closely related to the quality of life after operation in AS patients with kyphosis, which should be pay attention to by surgeon when designing operative schemes.

Objective To investigate celecoxib self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (CXB-SMEDDS) that was developed to increase the dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of celecoxib.Methods The formulation of CXB-SMEDDS was optimized by pseudo-ternary phase diagrams analysis.The appearance, morphology, particle size distribution and in vitro drug release behavior of CXB-SMEDDS were investigated after diluted by water.The bioavailability of CXB-SMEDDS was determined by oral administration to rats compared with CXB suspension.Results An optimized formulation was selected: Medium chain triglycerides as oil phase, Tween 20 as surfactant, Transcutol HP as cosurfactant.The ratio of oil phase, surfactant and cosurfactant was 2∶9∶9.Upon mixing with water, CXB-SMEDDS formed a clear and transparent microemulsion solution with homogeneous small spherical under transmission electron microscopy.For particle size of CXB-SMEDDS was found to be (57.6±14.2) nm.The in vitro dissolution test indicated a significant improvement in release characteristics of CXB.The AUC of CXB-SMEDDS and CXB suspension were (5.54±0.94) and (3.32±0.59) mg·L-1·h, respectively.The relative bioavailability was 166.9%.Conclusion The SMEDDS can significantly increase celecoxib dissolution in vitro and bioavailability in vivo.
