Background Perineural invasion is an important biological character for adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of lacrimal gland,which is different from those of other lacrimal gland tumors.As the important part of neurotrophic factors,glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays an important role in perineural invasion for ACC of salivary gland.GDNF regulation in the ACC cell biology function needs to be further explored.Objective This study was to investigate the effect of GDNF on proliferation and migration of ACC cells,and to explore the mechanism of neural invasion in ACC of lacrimal gland.Methods ACC-2 cell line was cultured and passaged in RPMI 1640 medium with 10％ fetal bovine serum,100 U/ml penicillin and 0.1 g/L streptomycin.Single-cell suspension was prepared with the density of 2×104/ml using logarithmic phase of cells and then incubated to 96-well plate.GDNF with the final concentration of 20,60,80,100 and 120 μg/L was added into the medium respectively in the experimental groups,and the cells were cultured in the medium without GDNF as the control group.The expression of GDNF in ACC-2 cells was detected by immunohistochemistry.MTT assay was employed to assay the absorbance value at the wavelength of 570 nm (A570) for the evaluation of proliferation of ACC-2 cells after cultured by different concentrations of GDNF for different time points.Meanwhile,transwell chamber was used to examine the cell migrated number.Results Immunochemistry assay exhibited that ACC-2 cells showed the positive response for GDNF with the brown staining in the cytoplasm.In 48 hours after culture,the A570 value was elevated with the increase of GDNF concentration,showing a significant difference among various groups (F =3.336,P =0.026),and the A570 value in various concentrations of GDNF groups was higher than that of 0 μg/L GDNF group (all P＜0.05).After action of 80 μg/L GDNF,the A570 value of the cells was gradually increased with the prolong of culture time (Ftime =39.979,P=0.000).In 30 minutes after GDNF cultured,the number of migrated cells increased with the increase of GDNF concentration (F=144.886,P=0.000).ACC-2 cells were cultured by 100 μg/L GDNF for 24,30 and 40 hours,the number of migrated cells were more as the time lapse,and more migrated cells were seen in GDNF group at various time points (Ftime =46.747,P =0.000 ; Fgroup =63.786,P =0.000).Conclusions GDNF can stimulate the proliferation and migration of ACC-2 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner.

[Objective]To investigate the ability of repairing bone defect with the combination of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1(rhIGF-1),coralline hydrolyapatite(CHA) and autogeneous red bone marrow(ARBM) by way of imaginology.[Method]Bilateral middle radius periosteum-bone defects (11mm in length) were created in 54 Chinese rabbits,and were ramdonly devided into 6 groups(each group containning 18 radial defects of one forearm): group A, defects transplanted with rhIGF-1/CHA/ARBM,group B,with CHA/ARBM,group C,with rhIGF-1/CHA,group D,with CHA,group E,with autograft,group F,no implant.At 2,4,8,and 12 weeks postoperation,the repair effects of defects were evaluated by observation of gross appearance,roengenodiagnosis and radionuclide bone image assay.[Result]In group A,radiological and bone density image analysis showed that the defects were bridged well at 12 weeks postoperatively and was significantly superior to those of any other groups(P0.05).[Conclusion]The recombinant compound rhIGF-1/CHA/ARBM,which possesses the potential ability of osteogenesis,osteocondution and osteoinduction for bone defect repairing,can enhance bone healing and serve as a new type of bone substitute.

Slow coronary flow phenomenon(SCFP) is an angiographic observation characterized by delayed distal vessel opacification in the absence of significant epicardial coronary disease. Only limited studies have been focused on the etiologies, clinical manifestations and treatment of this unique angiographic phenomenon. In our case report, we described an 85-year-old man who came with significant ST segment elevation in leads V1-V4 and V3R-V5R without increase in myocardial enzyme. The patient also developed respiratory failure requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. Coronary angiography revealed only mild atherosclerosis without spasm or thromboembolic occlusion. Slow flow was seen in all coronary arteries, especially in the left anterior descending and right coronary arteries. This case speculated that transmural myocardial ischemia with ST segment elevation might be resulted from slow coronary flow. Transmural myocardial ischemia can occur owing to abnormalities of the coronary microcirculation.

Objective To investigate the effect of lower limb rehabilitation training robot combined with task-oriented training on walking ability after stroke. Methods From February 2014 to August 2015,74 consecutive patients with post-stroke who received rehabilitation therapy and met the inclusion criteria admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were collected prospectively. They were all the patients with the first-ever stroke for 1 to 12 months. They were divided into either an observation group (n = 39)or a control group (n = 35)according to whether they were treated with the lower-limb rehabilitation robot. The patients of both groups received task-oriented training,2 times a day,once for 20 min,5 days a week for 12 weeks. The observation group was also treated with the lower-limb rehabilitation training robot,1 time a day,once for 30 min,5 days a week. Berg balance scale,Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA),timed up-and-go test (TUG)and knee flexion active range of motion (KFAROM)were used to assess the efficacy. Results (1)After treatment,the Berg scale and FMA scale scores were increased in the observation group and the control group compared with before treatment. There was significant difference (Berg scale:28 ±9 vs. 22 ±9,29 ±9 vs. 24 ±9;FMA scores:47 ± 8 vs. 36 ± 8,40 ± 6 vs. 36 ± 7;all P < 0. 01),however,there was no significant difference between the two groups (P <0. 05),and there was significant difference in FMA scores between the 2 groups (P < 0. 01 ). The differences of Berg scale scores in the observation group and the control group were 10. 75 + 0. 30 and 4. 71 + 0. 14 respectively before and after treatment. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups (t = 0. 95,P = 0. 345). The differences of FMA scores in the observation group and the control group were 5. 8 ±0. 6 and 4. 9 ±0. 8 before and after treatment (t =5. 16,P <0. 01). (2)After treatment,the tug test and KFAROM of the observation group and the control group were better than those before treatment. There were significant differences (TUG test:35 ± 13 s vs. 56 ± 18 s,53 ± 17 s vs. 58 ± 18 s;KFAROM:82 ± 24° vs. 60 ± 23°,63 ± 23° vs. 57 ± 26°;all P < 0. 01),and there were significant differences between the 2 groups (all P < 0. 01). The differences of the TUG test in the observation group and the control group before and after treatment were 21. 5 ± 5. 0 and 4. 6 ± 0. 6 s respectively. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (t = 9. 55,P < 0. 01);the differences of KFAROM in the observation group and control group before and after treatment were 5.8 ±0.6° vs. 4.9 ±0.8° respectively. There was significant differences between the 2groups (t =4.17,P <0. .01). Conclusion Lower limb rehabilitation training robot combined with task-oriented training may improve the lower extremity motor function,walking ability,knee flexion joint activity of the patients after stroke,but the improvement effect of the lower limb balance is not obvious.

Objective Toinvestigatetheeffectofrehabilitationrobothandontheupperlimbmotor functioninpatientswithstrokeandhemiplegia.Methods Theeffectsoftraditionalrehabilitation therapy or robot rehabilitation treatment of 15 stroke patients with hemiplegia were analyzed retrospectively. There were 4 females and 11 males. According to the group order,they were divided into either a robot rehabilitation group (n=8 )or a general rehabilitation group (n =7 ). The patients of the general rehabilitation group received general rehabilitation training at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine for 4 weeks,3 times a week,and 30 min for each time. At the same time,they also conducted family rehabilitation training,5 times a week,once for 1 h;the patients of the robot rehabilitation group received the general rehabilitation training for the same length of time as the general rehabilitation group,and they also performed robot rehabilitation training,5 times a week,once for 1 h. The patients of both groups were evaluated with the modified Ashworth scale (MAS )scores,Fugl-Meyer motor assessment of the upper extremity(FMA-UE),andWolfmotorfunctiontest(WMFT)beforeandaftertreatment.Results Compared with before training,the MAS score of the robot rehabilitation group was decreased significantly after four weeks of training. The time in WMFT was shortened significantly and the function score was improved obviously. The scores of upper extremity,hand score,and total FMA score in FMA-UE were improved significantly,and there were significant differences (all P <0. 05 ),while there were no significant differences in various indicators in the general rehabilitation group (all P>0. 05). Comparing the effects after four weeks of rehabilitation in both groups,the robot rehabilitation group was superior to the general rehabilitationgroupforthehandscoreinFMA-UE(allP<0.05).Conclusion Therehabilitation robot hand effectively lowered the upper limb spasticity. It has significant effect for recovery motor function of hand;however,it did not have a significant effect for motor rehabilitation on wrist.
