Objective To observe angiogenic effect of platelet-released growth factors (PRGF) from platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on mierovessel formation at early stage after anterior crueiate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by freeze-dried Achilles tendon. Methods The study involved 14 rabbits, of which 12 rabbits were used as experiment group and the other 2 as control group. In the experiment group, after two sides of rabbit ACL were removed, freeze-dried Achilles tendon treated by PRGF was transplanted into random one side of the knee to substitute the original ACL (PRGF group), while the other side was transplanted with freeze-dried Achilles tendon treated only by normal saline (NS group). Only one side of the knee was removed in the control group. The grafts were observed by HE and immuno- histeehemical staining 2, 4 and 6 weeks after operation. Microvessel density (MVD) was measured by Weidner method. Results Compared with NS group, MVD in PRGF group was significant higher at 2,4 and 6 weeks after operation (P<0.05). MVD of NS group at 2,4 and 6 weeks after operation was 2.52±0.45, 3.41±0.44 and 2.57±0.51 respectively, but that of PRGF group at 2,4 and 6 weeks af- ter operation was 3.56±0.81,4.91±0.46 and 3.01±0.75 respectively (P<0.05). The time of neo- vascular formation and the depth of vascular penetration into the grafts of the PRGF group were superior to those of NS group. Conclusion PRGF can significantly promote microvessel formation at early stage after ACL reconstruction with freeze-dried Achilles tendon.

Objective To study the anti-inflammatory mechanism of the Penyankangshuan (PYKS) in treating chronic pelvic inflammation. Methods After model rats with endometritis were established successflly, 6 groups were formed which were the high, the middle and the low dosage groups of the PYKS, the KFXYS (a kind of patent medicine has a similar effect) group, the model group, the normal group. The treated rats were continuously rectal administration 3 weeks, the expression of NF-?B, Caspase-3 and MMP-2 were observed in the high, the middle dosage groups of the PYKS, the KFXYS group, the model group and the normal group with immunohistochemistry. Results The PYKS obviously raised the expression of Caspase-3 and MMP-2, but decreased the expression of NF-?B. Conclusion The anti-inflammatory mechanism of the PYKS possibly raised the expression of Caspase-3 and MMP-2 of mice endometrial cells, decreased the expression of NF-?B, so as to reduce inflammation soakage in excess and formation of inflammatory medium, accelerate apoptosis and reduce local inflammation.

But in the control samples, there wasn't specific stain. In ELISA, the uPA antigen levels in cancer and non- cancer tissues were (4.23?0.57)ng/mg protein and (1.26?0.14)ng/mg protein; the uPAR antigen levels in caner and non-cancer tissues were(4.25?0.21)ng/mg protein and (3.15?0.23)ng/mg protein respectively. Significant difference existed in both uPA and uPAR antigen levels in these two kinds of tissue ( t=18.963,P=0.000;t=13 693,P=0 000 ). Furthermore, these antigen levels in progressive and aggressive tumors significantly higher than those in non-progressive and non-aggressive tumors ( P

Objective To quantitatively study the features of cerebromspinal fluid(CSF)flow dynamies in normal sella region in MRI with phase-contrast method.Methods Seventeen healthy volunteers were studied.The CSF flow image in sella region was positioned at the middle sagittal T1WI or T2WI image.This pulse sequence used a encoding velocity of 20 cm/s.The waveforms were analyzed for the maximum flow velocity,flow volume rate and the change of the figures.From the velocity and area measurements on the cine images,mean CSF flow was calculated in millimeters per second and milliliters per cardiac cycle.Results The normal CSF flow of the sella region had two directions which was downward(caudal)flow during thesystolic period and upward(cranial)flow during the diastolic period of the cardiac cycle.The downward and upward peak flow velocity,mean downward and upward flow velocity and mean flow velocity was(1.44±0.99)cm/s,(302.71±248.15)ms,(1.16±0.64)cm/s,(331.00±225.38)ms,(0.49±0.39)cm/s.(0.67±0.44)cm/s,(0.54±O.30)cm/s,respectively.The downward and upward peak flow volume rate.mean downward and upward flow volume rate and mean flow volume rate was (0.014±0.009)ml/s.(0.012±0.006)ml/s,(0.047±0.041)ml/s,(0.053±0.003)ml/s,(0.005±0.003)ml/s,(0.034±0.031)ml/s,respectively.The mean cycle was(775.25±173.06)ms.Conclusion Phase-contrast method in MRI cine is a noninvasive method to study the CSF flow in physiological and pathological conditions for determining the pattern,direction,speed and quantity of the CSF flow.Therefore it is better than other invasive research modalities and has an important value in clinical application.

Background It is determined that riboflavin/ultraviolet A (UVA)-induced corneal collagen crosslinking is able to increase resistance of cornea against enzymatic digestion and has antimicrobial efficacy for various kinds of bacteria in vitro.However,its in vivo study is less now.Objective This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of iontophoresis-mediated corneal collagen crosslinking combined with or without drugs for Staphylococcus aureus keratitis.Methods Bacterial keratitis models were induced by the interstromaly injection of Staphylococcus aureus suspension with concentration 2× 109/ml in the right eyes of 40 rabbits,and then the rabbits were randomly classified into the model group,gatifloxacin eye drops group,riboflavin/UVA corneal crosslinking group and drugs+ crosslinking group.The smearing of corneal surface was performed for the identification of bacteria 24 hours after injection.Iontophoresis-mediated riboflavin/UVA crosslinking was applied on the eyes of the riboflavin/UVA corneal crosslinking group and drugs+crosslinking group,and gatifloxacin eye drops was topically used 7 times per day on the eyes of the gatifloxacin eye drops group and drugs+crosslinking group.The corneal inflammation was examined and graded under the slit lamp biomicroscope before and after treatment.Ocular anterior segment optical coherence tomography(AS-OCT),corneal histopathology and ultrastructure were examined 14 days after treatment.The living environment of the experimental animals was maintained at 21 ℃ with a 12-hour light and dark cycle.Animals used in this study were treated in accordance with the Weifang Medical College Animal Experimentation Ethic Committee (AEEC) guidelines.The study protocol was approved by the AEEC.Results Corneal inflammation and ulcer were observed,but no significant difference was found in the inflammatory grade among the 4 groups 24 hours after injection (x2=0.293,P＞0.05).In the 14th day after injection,the corneal ulcer area was smaller and corneal edema was milder in the drugs+crosslinking group compared with the model group,gatifloxacin eye drops group and riboflavin/ UVA corneal crosslinking group,showing a significant difference in the inflammatory grade among them (x2 =38.710,P＜0.001).The cornea thickness values of ulcer zone were (428.1 ± 146.2) μm on the 14th postinjected day in the drugs+crosslinking group,which was evidently higher than those in the model group,gatifloxacin eye drops group and riboflavin/UVA corneal crosslinking group,with a significant difference among the 4 groups (F =8.310,P＜0.001).A lower degree of destruction of cornea collagen and less inflammatory cells were seen in the cornea tissue of the drugs+ crosslinking group by haematoxylin and eosin staining in comparison with other 3 groups,and normal keratocytes were much more in the drugs + crosslinking group than those in other treated groups.Conclusions Iontophoresismediated corneal collagen crosslinking can alleviate Staphylococcus aureus keratitis.The combination of crosslinking with drugs has a better effectiveness than the administration of gatifloxacin eye drops only or riboflavin/UVA corneal crosslinking only.
