BACKGROUND: Many experiments have proved that heavy-load movement training causes the acute increase of free radicals. The increase of endogenous free radicals and caused cellular and subcellular lipid peroxidation strengthening injure the structure and function of tissue cells, thereby, decrease motor ability. Sleep deprivation also causes the increase of oxygen free radicals.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes in malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in serum of acute exhaustive exercise rats following different time periods of sleep deprivation.DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Laboratory of Exercise Sciences & Sports Medicine, Physical College, Hunan Normal University.MATERIALS: Thirty healthy male SD rats of clean grade, weighing about (220±13)g, provided by Experimental Animal Center of Hunan Agricultural University, were involved in this study.METHODS: This experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Exercise Sciences & Sports Medicine, Physical College,Hunan Normal University from April 2006 to May 2006. Thirty rats were randomized into 5 groups: blank control group,simple exercise group, sleep deprivation 24 hours group, sleep deprivation 48 hours group and sleep deprivation 72 hours group, with 6 rats in each group; Rats in the blank control group were allowed to sleep normally, but not do exercise; Rats in the simple exercise group were allowed to sleep normally and executed after acute exhaustive exercise; Rats in the sleep deprivation 24, 48 and 72 hours groups were deprived their sleep for 24, 48 and 72 hours,respectively, then they were executed after acute exhaustive exercise. Method of gentle handling was used in creating rat models of sleep deprivation; Rats in the simple exercise group and sleep deprivation groups were forced to do exercise according to the rat exercise model project established by Bedford: treadmill gradient 10°, speed 19.3 m/min, all the exercise rats were exhaustive (Exhaustion criteria: At the end of exercise, rats reached 1/3 of runway over 3 times;Various stimulations for expelling were invalid. After running, rats presented with breathlessness, expression lassitude,ventral decubitus, slow stimulus response, weaker escape response in being captured). After experiment, rats in each group were executed under the anesthetic state, and their blood was taken out, and centrifuged after natural clotting.Supernatant fluid was taken for detecting MDA and GSH levels as well as SOD activity.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes in MDA and GSH levels, and SOD activity in rat serum.RESULTS: Thirty rats were involved in the final analysis. ① MDA level in the simple exercise group was higher than that in the blank control group (P＜ 0.01). MDA level in the sleep deprivation 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours was higher than that in the simple exercise group, respectively (P ＜ 0.01). MDA level in the sleep deprivation 72 hours was statistically higher than that in the other sleep deprivation groups, respectively (P ＜ 0.01). ②GSH level in the simple exercise group was lower than that in the blank control group (P ＜ 0.01). GSH level in the sleep deprivation 24 hours group was higher than that in the simple exercise group [(P ＜ 0.01). GSH level in the sleep deprivation 24 hours and 48 hours groups was lower than that in the simple exercise group, respectively (P ＜ 0.05, 0.01). There were statistical differences in GSH level among sleep deprivation groups (all P＜ 0.01). ③ SOD activity in the simple exercise group was lower than that in the blank control group (P ＜ 0.01); SOD activity in the sleep deprivation 24, 48 and 72 hours groups was lower than that in the simple exercise group, respectively (P ＜ 0.01); SOD activity in the sleep deprivation 48 and 72 hours groups was significantly lower than that in the blank control group, respectively (P ＜ 0.01); There were statistical differences in SOD activity among sleep deprivation groups (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Sleep deprivation can cause serumal oxidative stress injury of rats; With elongation of time of sleep deprivation and exhaustive exercise, oxygen free radical production in serum of rats accumulates more and more, ability to get rid of oxygen free radical becomes weaker and weaker, and injury to body is more and more obvious.Serumal oxidative stress status of acute exhaustive exercise rats following sleep deprivation

Objective To investigate the clinical,neuroradiologic characteristics and possible causes in 3 patients with combined developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) and cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM).Methods The clinical examination,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1-weighted (T1 WI),T2-weighted (T2WI),susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) or T2 fast field echo (T2 FFE),contrast-enhanced MRI at 1.5 T field strength and digital substrate angiography were performed in 3 patients.Results Three patients presented with the seizure,vertigo,and dizziness respectively.MRI findings of reticulated “popcorn like” lesion with complete hemosiden rim showed typical sign of CCM.DSA,contrast-enhanced MRI and MRI-SWI revealed the caput medusae of the medullary veins and collected veins which was drained into subcortical and deep venous system,which indicated DVAs in 3 patients.The angulated medullary veins and collected veins in approaching distal zone of CCM were observed.Conclusion DVAs can be combined with CCM.The angulated medullary veins and collected veins combined with CCM in same territory reveals that the angioarchitectural factors is a key factor in pathogenesis of cavernous malformation.

Chitosan(CS)surface was modified with hydrophobic octyl groups to prepare N-octyl chitosan(nitro-gen-octyl chitosan;OC).Then hydrophilic group carboxyl-polyethylene glycol-amino (PEG);tumor-targeting lig-and D-glucosamine(DG);and membrane-penetrating peptide 9-D-arginine(9R)were linked to OC successively. Then the DG and 9R modified chitosan micelle (DG/9R-PEG-OC)with tumor-targeting and transmembrane effect was prepared.By hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (1 H NMR)and sodium dodecyl sul-fate polyacryl amide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE);the successful formation of DG/9R-PEG-OC was certified;with particle size of 151.8 nm and Zeta potential of 16.5 mV.The morphology of chitosan micelle observed by transmission electron microscope was homogeneous spherical structure.The drug loading content (DLC)(using fluorescein as a model drug)and encapsulation efficiency (EE)were about 28.2% and 75.0% measured by UV-visible spectrophotometer.Meanwhile;the drug showed a controlled releasing profile out of the micelle.Cellu-lar uptake experiments indicated DG/9 R-PEG-OC micelle had a significant tumor-tageting and transmembrane effects;especially on HepG2 cells;which exbihited high expression of the glucose transporter.Thus DG/9R-PEG-OC micelle could be a promising drug targeted delivery system of hydrophobic antitumor drugs.

BACKGROUND:Recently, periprosthetic femoral fractures have been a common complication after total hip replacement. Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures commonly received internal fixation due to stable femoral prosthesis and less bone defects.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of the application of Synthes cable system in the treatment of Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures after total hip replacement.
METHODS:From May 2009 to October 2012, 18 patients with Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures were treated with Synthes cable system in the Department of Orthopedics, Nantong First People’s Hospital. There were 8 males and 10 females with an average age of (62.67±8.67) years ranging 45 to 80 years. They received a further consultation at 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment. The function of hip joint was evaluated by Harrris evaluation standard:ful marks, 100 points, ≥ 90 points, excellent;80-89 points, better;70-79 points, good;<70 points, poor.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al 18 patients were fol owed up for 6 to 43 months. Mean healing period was (19.06±4.04) weeks. Harris score was (22.3±3.6) points before treatment in 18 cases. Harris score was higher significantly at 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment compared with that before treatment (P<0.01), and the recovery of hip function was good. Results indicated that Synthes cable system could help to restore the normal anatomic structure of femur in the greatest extent, showing simple operation, little injury, high stability and high safety. It is an ideal method for treating Vancouver type B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures.
