Objective To observe the effect of gene therapy for Parkinson disease by triple transduction with dopamine-biosynthesizing enzyme genes. Methods We constructed high titer purified adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors containing cDNAs encoding human tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) and GTP cyclohydrolase I (GCH) respectively. AAV-TH, AAV-AADC and AAV-GCH were stereotaxically injected into the denervated striatum of Parkinsonian rat; the expression of TH, AADC or GCH was assayed by using immunohistochemical staining; the rotational behavior was assayed for 1 year.Results The immunohistochemical staining and behavioral testing showed that all of TH, AADC and GCH were expressed stably in the striatum, and the rats treated with AAV-TH, AAV-AADC and AAV-GCH showed more remarkable decrease in rotation rate persisted for at least 1 year, than those treated with AAV-TH and AAV-AADC(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of imatinib in improving myocardial fibrosis in uremic rats through regulating the expression of PDGFRα.Methods Seventy two rats were divided into three groups ,which were Sham group ,5/6 group and 5/6+I group .All The rats in 5/6 group underwent the 5/6 nephrectomy and the rats in 5/6+I group were given imatinib by ga‐vage after the operation of 5/6 nephrectomy .Hearts were harvested for HE and Sirius red staining at 8 weeks post surgery .The ex‐pression of PDGFRαwas assessed with immunohistological staining .The real‐time PCR was employed to detect the PDGFRαmR‐NA level in hear samples .Results The urine protein ,Scr ,BUN of the 5/6 group and 5/6+I group were higher than that of Sham group(P<0 .01) .The myocardial pathological score in Sham group was significantly lower than that of 5/6 group (P<0 .01) ,and the score in 5/6+I group was significantly lower than that of 5/6 group (P<0 .01) .The collagen volume fraction (CVF) in 5/6 group was significantly higher than that in Sham group (P<0 .01) .And the CVF in 5/6+ I group was higher than that in Sham group (P<0 .05) ,but lower than that of 5/6 group (P<0 .05) .The expression ratio of PDGFRαmRNA and staining rate in 5/6 group and 5/6+I group were both much higher than that in Sham group (P<0 .01) ,and the expression in 5/6+I group was signif‐icantly lower than that in 5/6 group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion These data suggest that the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib reduces heart injury and attenuates myocardial fibrosis in uremic rat by mechanisms associated with the inhibition of the expression of PDGFRα.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect of lidocaine plus ropivacaine in inguinal hernia tension-free repair under local anesthesia.Methods A total of 815 patients with unilateral inguinal hernia admitted to Chaoyang Hospital from July 2013 to Jane 2014 were enrolled in this retrospective study.The patients were divided into 2 groups:local anesthesia using a combination of 1% lidocaine (l0 ml) and 0.75% ropivacaine (10 ml) in observation group (n =412),and 1% lidocaine (20 ml) were administered in control group (n =403).Postoperatively heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),pain intensity (VAS),analgesic demand,adverse events and hospital duration were assessed.Results There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in postoperative hemodynamic monitoring (all P > 0.05).VAS score in observation group were lower than those in control group at 1,3,6 and 9 h.The former needed significantly less pain killer (all P < 0.05).Conclusion Ropivacaine decreases postoperative pain level after tension-free inguinal hernia repair without additional risk of perioperative events.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of tertiary liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 4 patients with hepatobiliary disease who were admitted to the General Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Police Forces from April 2002 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received orthotopic liver transplantation,and received tacrolimus + mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) + hormone after operation.All the patients were followed up till May 2014,and their prognosis was learned.The measurement data were analyzed using the t test.Results Three patients with benign hepatic disease received tertiary liver transplantation due to biliary complications and chronic rejection,and 1 patient with hepatic cancer received tertiary liver transplantation because of hepatic cancer recurrence.The average interval between the primary and secondary liver transplantation was 16.0 months,which was shorter than 22.5 months of the interval between the secondary and tertiary liver transplantation.The mean operation time in the secondary liver transplantation was (11.4 ± 1.0)hours,which was significantly shorter than (14.1 ± 2.2) hours in the tertiary liver transplantation (t =3.644,P < 0.05).The median volumes of blood loss in the secondary and tertiary liver transplantation were 1 300 mL and 1 800 mL,and the median volumes of blood transfusion were 1 400 mL and 3 100 mL.The hepatic function of the 4 patients recovered smoothly at the early time after liver transplantation.Two patients (3 cases) were complicated with infection postoperatively (1 patient was infected by pseudomonas aeruginosa within 30 days after liver transplantation,and was cured by active antimicrobial treatment),and they were cured after anti-infectional treatment.One patient died of hepatic failure at the 80th month after the primary liver transplantation,1 died of hepatic cancer recurrence complicated by pulmonary,bone and retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis at the 107th month after the primary liver transplantation,and the other 2 patients survived for 104 months and 26 months after the primary liver transplantation,respectively.Conclusion Tertiary liver transplantation is effective for the treatment of biliary complications and chronic rejection after liver transplantation,and it can extend the life span of patients with hepatic cancer recurrence if there are insufficient donor resources.

PurposeTo study the changes of serum nitric oxide(NO)and endothelin(ET)levels by L-Arg therapy in acute hypoxic model. MethodsNADPH diaphorase histochemical staining method, Griess biochemical assay and radioimmune assay were applied to investigate the changes of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) ,NO, cGMP and ET in normal, hypoxic and L-Arg treated hypoxic rats. Resultsduring acute hypoxia, while serum ET rose up significantly, both the levels of serum NO and cGMP and the activity of NOS were significantly lower. After the application of L-Arg therapy, the activity of NOS did not change significantly, but the levels of serum NO and cGMP rose up significantly, and the level of serum ET was to the opposite direction. ConclusionsNO and ET may modulate hypoxic pulmonary hypertension, and acute hypoxia can result in acute hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. L-Arg can reverse the acute hypoxic hypertension.

Objective To assess the effects of Danhong injection on the perfusion function of the pancreas in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods A total of 102 patients with AP were collected, and there were 25 patients with severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP) and 77 patients with mild acute pancreatitis (MAP). They were randomly divided into routine treatment group ( RTG,n =54) and Danhong treatment group (DTG,n =48) , respectively. Another 33 normal individuals were used as controls. Patients in RTG received gastric decompression, acid inhibition, anti-infection and nutritional support. Patients in DTG received Danhong injection 30 ml i. v. b. i. d besides routine treatment. The hemodynamic parameters ( BF, BV, MTT, and PS) of perfusion of the pancreas were measured by 16-slice spiral CT scanner. Results The values of BF of control, MAP, SAP group were time was ( 12.6 ± 2.7) d in DTG, which were significantly shorter than those in routine treatment group [(14.5 ±3.2)d, (18.5 ±5.5)d, P <0.05]. Conclusions The parameters of CT perfusion imaging of the pancreas can be a quantitative criterion to assess the severity of microcirculation dysfunction in patients with AP, and Danhong injection is effective to improve the blood perfusion of the pancreas during the treatment of AP.
