BACKGROUND: At present the strategy of nerve regeneration and repairng are main promoting nerve intrinsic regeneration capacity and improving the micro-environment. Studies have shown a number of combined treatment which could promote the regeneration and growth of nerve axon.OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and effect of rat spinal cord injury repaired by peripheral nerve combined growth factor. METHODS: Sixty healthy adult female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: nerve graft group, nerve graft combined growth factor group, spinal cord transaction group and laminectomy group. Taking T_9 as the center, a longitudinal incision was conducted in rat skin, revealing dural sac, spinal cord was transected and removed 3 mm, 2-cm segment of the eighth to tenth intercostal nerve was obtained from nerve graft group and nerve graft combined with growth factor group, autologous intercostal nerve was cross-transplanted into spinal defect (proximal white matter and distal gray matter, distal white matter and proximal gray matter) after pruning appropriately. The transplanted intercostal nerves were fixed with fibrin glue in nerve graft group, while those in nerve graft combined growth factor group were fixed with fibrin glue containing 2.1 mg/L acidic fibroblast growth factor, followed by dural suture~ Stump of broken ends was done in spinal cord transection group, while laminectomy was performed in laminectomy group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 90 days post-surgery, somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and motor evoked potential (MEP) were determined, the motor function of hind limbs was evaluated by the Basso. Beattie.Bresnahan (BBB) test at 70 days. Both SEP and MEP were led in the laminectomy group, but not lead in spinal cord transection group; in nerve graft group, 3 rats showed bilateral SEP, 4 led unilateral SEP, 4 led bilateral MEP, 3 led unilateral MEP; in nerve graft combined with growth factor group, 5 led bilateral SEP and 2 led unilateral SEP, 5 led bilateral MEP and 2 led unilateral MEP. The SEP and MEP latency and amplitude in the nerve graft group and nerve graft combined growth factor group were significantly superior to the spinal cord transection group (P < 0.01), autologous rib nerve graft group was better than nerve graft combined growth factor group (P <0.01). In the laminectomy group, awake rats following anesthesia returned to normal exercise, rats in spinal cord transection group continued to extend limbs and rotated within 3 months, rats in other two groups recovered functions obviously 3 weeks post-surgery and gradually restored throughout the entire observation period. Nerve graft group and nerve graft combined growth factor group showed significantly increased BBB score compared with spinal cord transection were (P < 0.01), and the nerve graft combined growth factor group was superior to nerve graft group (P < 0.01). The peripheral nerve graft can promote the spinal function following spinal cord injury, while the nerve combined growth factor can better restore the function.

BACKGROUND: Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β_1, a potent cell growth and proliferation regulatory proteins, plays an important role in development of anti-graft rejection and graft vascular disease. OBJECTIVE: To observe local injection of TGF-β_1 effects on transplant immune rejection following freezing disposal and nerve allograft. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized controlled animal study was performed at the Animal Experimental Center, Harbin Medical University from June 2007 to June 2008. MATERIALS: A total of 60 clean SD rats (recipients) were divided into 3 groups: autogenous nerve graft group, nerve allograft group, TGF-β_1 plasmid + nerve allograft group, 20 in each group. A total of 40 Wistar male rats served as donors. pAdTrack-CMV-TGF-β_1 plasmid, pAdEasy-1-Bj51833 cells were presented by the Orthopedic Laboratory of Fourth Hospital of Harbin Medical University. METHODS: Longitudinal posterolateral incision was made in 40 donor rats to expose sciatic nerve. The whole bilateral sciatic nerve was cut and placed in sterile frozen tubes for 1 week for use. Under the microscope, connective tissue was cut in the biceps muscle and semi-tendon and semi-membrane gap of recipient rats to expose the sciatic nerve. 1-cm sciatic nerve was cut 0.5 cm below the muscle from the plow-shaped hole. Transplantation of frozen autogenous nerve graft and nerve allograft (nerve at equal size) was separately performed in the autogenous nerve graft and nerve allograft groups. In the TGF-β_1 plasmid + nerve allograft group, pAdTrack-CMV-TGF-β_1 plasmid (40 μg) was injected into the local muscle and two sides of transected sciatic nerve of each rat following nerve allograft transplantation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Motor nerve conduction velocity, pathology and axonal counting were examined 3, 6, 9 weeks after surgery. RESULTS: Motor nerve conduction velocity was higher in the TGF-β_1 plasmid + nerve allograft group than in the nerve allograft group (P < 0.01), which did not show significant difference compared with the autogenous nerve graft group. Axonal counting was greater in the autogenous nerve graft and TGF-β_1 plasmid + nerve allograft groups compared with the nerve allograft group 9 weeks following surgery (P < 0.01). Using optical microscope and electron microscope, nerve fibers were normal and well arranged in the TGF-β_1 plasmid + nerve allograft group. Nerve fibers presented vascular proliferation, good myelin sheath. Abundant regenerated myelin sheath was found in nerve fiber. The number of Schwann cells was obviously increased, and there were prosperous cytoplasm, a large amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum, clear mitochondria. In regenerated axons, microfilament closely arranged, which was similar to the autogenous nerve graft group. In the nerve allograft group, the optical microscope and electron microscope showed a few nerve fibers, disorderly arranged, significant demyelination, axon degeneration and disappearance, without regenerated fibers. CONCLUSION: Local injection of TGF-β_1 plasmid could reduce immune rejection after cold sciatic nerve allograft transplantation.

BACKGROUND:It is proved by a number of experiments that such a structure as Bungner band-Schwann cell-basilar membrane,which is formed at 2 or 3 weeks after nerve injury,is the ideal microenvironment for neural regeneration. However,the sprouting of nerve fiber close to broken ends takes place at several hours after nerve injury,which shows that the regeneration of nerve fiber and the formation of required microenvironment don't occurred at the same time.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the best repairing time for peripheral nerve injury.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A randomized control animal experiment was performed in the Animal Experiment Centre,Harbin Medical University from June 2007 to June 2008.MATERIALS:A total of 20 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups,namely,an immediate repairing group and the other three groups that were repaired respectively at week 2,week 4 and month 3 after injury.METHODS:Peripheral nerve injury models of New Zealand rabbits were established. The immediate repairing group received suture immediately after injury;For the other three groups,the two broken ends of their nerves were fixed on sarcoiemmas temporarily and their wounds were sutured layer by layer. Then they were opened respectively at week 2,week 4 and month 3 after injury,to receive epineural suture with non traumatic 10-0 nylon suture under operating microscope,after which wounds were sutured again.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Nerve electrophysiological observation,axon number,light microscope and electron microscope observation of sutured nerve segments in each group.RESULTS:Nerves repaired at week 2 after injury had a slower nerve conduction velocity than those at week 4 and month 3 after injury (P<0.01);There was no difference of significance between the immediate repairing group and the group repaired at week 2 after injury (P>0.05). According to the comparison among the four groups:it had the best repairing effect to repair nerve at week 2 after injury,with normal course and neat arrangement of nerve fibers,vascular proliferation in nerve fibers,myelin sheaths with better structure,Schwann ceils with active function,as well as regenerated axons with intensively arranged microfilaments;Repairing at week 4 after injury had the worst effect,with rare nerve fivers disorderly arranged,myelin sheath and axons significantly degenerated,most nerve fibers demyelinated with axons disappeared,and no regenerated nerve fibers seen;Repairing at month 3 saw the worse repairing effect,with more nerve fiber damaged and disorderly arranged,myelin sheath and axons significantly degenerated,nerve fibers rarely regenerated,less Schwann cells,as well as cytoplasm did not well develope;The effect of immediate repairing after injury was better,with nerve fibers unobviously damaged and well arranged,myelin sheath and axons lightly degenerated,large amounts of myelin sheaths regenerated in nerve fibers,Schwann cells increased obviously,as well as cytoplasms better-developed. Axon counting result was better in the group repaired at week 2 after injury than the otherthree groups,with the minimum in the group repaired at week 4 after injury.CONCLUSION:Repairing at week 2 after injury can get a better result than at any other time points,accordingly two weeks after nerve injury is the best time for repairing peripheral nerve injury.

Objective To investigate and assess 13C-methacetin breath test as a method to quantitatively evaluate the liver function of non-alcoholic fatty liver. Methods Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the following 2 groups, control group given a standard chow and model group given high-fat diet (88 % standard chow + 10% lard +2% cholesterol). At the 8th week and 12th week, the isotope-selective nondispersive infrared spectrometer (NDIRS) was applied to 13C-methacetin breath test. Peak value of breathing (DOB), the duration to peak (T), and cumulative expiration within 60 min (CUM60min) were determined. Then, the two groups of rats were executed respectively. The level of endotoxin in the portal vein and abdominal aorta was detected respectively, and the specific tissue of liver was fixed in 10% buffered formalin, processed, and embedded in paraffin for hematoxylin eosin (H&E). Results Compared with the control group, DOB increased in the model group at the 12th week but not at the 8th week. The trend was corresponded to the degree of path-ological lesion in the liver of rats. At the 8th week and 12th week, endotoxin levels in the portal vein of model group were significantly in-creased compared with control group. The breath test results were positively related to emlotoxin levels in the portal vein. Conclusion 13C-methacetin breath test may be a non-invasive method to evaluate the pathological changes of non-alcoholic fatty liver.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the effect of corticosteroids therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at 1-month and 1-year. Methods Those who was diagnosed as Crohn's disease (CD, n=55) or ulcerative colitis (UC, n= 154) from 1998 to 2006 were investigated. The effect of corticosteroids was evaluated after one month and 1-year. The prognostic factors were calculated using Logistic regression analysis. Results The patients who received eortieosteroids therapy were 21 (38.2%) with CD and 20 (13.0%) with UC (2 cases withdrawn). In one month followe-up, the complete and partial remissions were found in 15 (71.4%) and 3 (14.3%) patients with CD, respectively, while there were 15 (83.3%) and 3 (16.7%) in patients UC, respectively. Only 3 (14.3%) patients with CD was no response. In one year follow up, 11 out of 21 (52.4%) patients with CD had prolonged response to corticosteroids, 6 (28.6%) were corticosteroid dependence, and 4 (19%) required surgery; whereas 11 out of 18 (61.1%) patients with UC had prolonged response, 3 (16.7%) were corticosteroid dependence, and 4 (22.2%) required surgery. Logistic regression analysis showed that serum albumin level was associated with efficacy of corticosteroids after one year (P= 0.027, OR: 1.320,95% CI: 1.032~1. 690). Conclusion The IBD patients who has response to initiating corticosteroids therapy will get shor-term remission. Its prognosis is related with serum albumin level.
