AIM:To explore the effects of panax notoginsenosides(PNS)on bone histomorphometry in rats with hyperlipidemia-induced osteoporosis.METHODS:Thirty 3-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups with 10 per group as follows.Control group was intragastrically given distilled water at the dose of 5 mL?kg-1?d-1 for 20 weeks;Model group was intragastrically given lipid emulsion at the dose of 5 mL?kg-1?d-1 for 20 weeks;PNS preventing group was intragastrically given lipid emulsion at the dose of 5 mL?kg-1?d-1 in the morning and PNS at the dose of 5 mL?kg-1?d-1 at afternoon for 20 weeks.At the end of the experiment,the right longitudinal proximal tibial metaphyseal parameters of rats were performed undecalcifiedly and used for bone histomorphometry analysis.And the blood serum contents of FFA,TG,TC,HDL-C and LDL-C were measured by biochemical analysis.RESULTS:Compared with model group,the blood serum contents of FFA,TC and LDL-C were decreased and HDL-C was increased significantly(P

Objective To discuss the possible reasons of contrast agent reflux during transvaginal real-time three-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy),and in order to provide scientific evidences for reducing the contrast agent reflux.Methods The sonographic features of contrast reflux were observed in the images of 167 infertile patients who underwent TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy, and the association of the incidence rate of the reflux with tubal patency,the types of infertility,endometrial thickness,menstrual clean days,abnormal uterine cavity,the history of intrauterine operations,pelvic operations and ectopic pregnancies were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of the reflux during TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy was 41 .3%.The incidence rates of reflux in unilateral patency and bilateral obstruction were 4.929 and 9.21 5 times of that of bilateral patency respectively.The incidence rate of reflux in the secondary infertility cases was significantly higher than that of primary ones(P <0.05).Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the reflux is associated with the tubal patency,the endometrial thickness and the history of intrauterine operations,and none of the other factors.Conclusions TVS RT-3D-HyCoSy could differentiate the images of reflux better;the proper timing of the contrast examination and avoiding the damage of endometrium would reduce the incidence of the reflux.

This study was aimed to observe the effects ofTian-ShuDripping Pills (TSDP) on cerebral hemodynamics among anesthetized dogs, in order to demonstrate its clinical treatment functional correlation on angioneurotic headache. A total of 25 hybrid dogs were randomly divided into the normal saline (NS) group, TS capsule (positive control: 0.4 g·kg-1 crude medicine) group, low-dose TSDP (0.2 g·kg-1 crude medicine) group, middle-dose TSDP (0.4 g·kg-1 crude medicine) group, and high-dose TSDP (0.8 g·kg-1 crude medicine) group.Intraduodenal administration was given once under anesthesia. Changes of mean arterial blood pressure, blood flow of vertebral artery and internal carotid artery blood flow were detected and the cerebral blood flow and cerebral vascular resistance were calculated. The results showed that TSDP of low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose group can significantly reduce the cerebral vascular resistance and increase the cerebral blood flow within 180 min after medication. It was concluded that TSDP can improve the cerebral blood circulation of anesthetized dogs. Its mechanism may be through the reduction on cerebral vascular resistance and increasing of cerebral blood flow.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of protocatechuic acid(PCA)on the PC12 cell model of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)and to explore its mechanism . Methods Amyloid beta peptide 1-42(Aβ1-42)fiber polymers were identified by immunofluorescence. After PC12 cells were stimulated with the Aβ1-42 fiber polymers, the cellular morphology was observed at different time points of hour 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 , and the cellular viability was tested by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay to monitor the modeling condition. The effect of PCA on PC12 cells was detected after PC12 cells were pretreated with the different contentions of PCA. Autophagy-related marker Beclin1 protein level was detected by Western blotting method to investigate the protective mechanism of PCA. Results Aggregated white Aβ1-42 mass was stable at hour 12 and 24, and showed no significant difference between the two time points, the cell damage rate being 40%. Therefore, we defined culturing time being 12 and 24 hours as the modeling condition of AD model. The cell viability was increased with 200-800 μmol/L of PCA after culturing for 24 hours(P<0.01) , and the Western blotting results showed that the Beclin1 protein expression was up-regulated by PCA. Conclusion PCA prevents PC12 cells from Aβ1-42-induced toxicity, the mechanism being related with the increase of cellular autophagy.

Objective To observe the effects of orexin-1 receptor inhibitor on proliferation and estrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( BMSCs) .

Objective To discuss the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC)as the seed cell transplantation of tissue-engineered artificial nerve in the treatment of peripheral nerve injury. Methods BMSC was obtained from the bone marrow of adult rat through isolation and culture and combined with acellular nerve scaffold to construct ‘tissue-engineered artificial nerve’.After transplantation,rats were divided into two groups,the BMSC +acellular nerve conduit group(BMSC treatment group)and the empty cell conduit group(negative control group)with 5 rats in each group.Sciatic functional index (SFI)of the affected side of rats was compared between two groups at 2 weeks,4 weeks and 8 weeks after the surgery.Moreover,the sciatic conduction,recovery rate of tricipital muscle wet weight and other repair effects of the affected side were compared between two groups at 8 weeks after the surgery.Results The indicators of BMSC treatment group, including SFI assessed at 2 weeks,4 weeks and 8 weeks after the surgery as well as the sciatic conduction and recovery rate of tricipital muscle wet weight assessed at 8 weeks after the surgery,were better than those of the negative control group(all in P <0.05).Conclusions BMSC combined with tissue-engineered artificial nerve of acellular nerve scaffold can effectively promote nerve regeneration and function recovery.

Objective To investigate clinical efficacy of tissue-engineered artificial nerve grafts constructed by acellular nerve grafts combined with adult rat Schwann cell (SC)in the treatment of peripheral nerve injury.Methods SCs were isolated and cultured from the distal nerves of adult Sprague Dawley (SD) rats with 1-week Wallerian degeneration and then combined with acellular nerve grafts to construct tissue-engineered artificial nerve.All rats were divided into acellular nerve graft containing SCs (SC group)and nerve graft containing no cells groups (control group),five animals in each group.At 2-,4-and 8-week after surgery,sciatic function index (SFI)of the affected side was compared between two groups.At postoperative 8 weeks,nerve conduction of sciatic nerve of the injured side,recovery rate of triceps surae wet weight and other relevant parameters were equally compared between two groups.Results In the SC group,SFI of the affected side at 2-,4-and 8-week after surgery,nerve conduction of sciatic nerve at the injured side and recovery rate of triceps surae wet weight at postoperative 8 weeks were significantly better compared with those in the control group (all in P <0.05).Conclusions Combined use of adult rat SCs and acellular nerve grafts effectively repairs peripheral nerve defects and accelerates functional recovery of injured nerves.
