Aim To investigate the effects of retinoic acid (RA) on induction osteroporosis model rats andpreventive effects of Danshengubao.Methods 4-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were given RA at 70 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) and were given Danshengubao at different doses at the same time.All rats were treated by oral gavaged for 28 days.The static and dynamic parameters in cancellous bone of the fifth lumbar vertebrae (LV5) were examined and the dynamic changes of the tibial shaft (Tx) were observed with histomorphometrical analyses; the forth lumbar vertebrae (LV4) was used to perform the compression test.Results Compared with control group, biomechanical properties of LV4, the static parameters ( total tissue area, trabecular area, trabecular perimeter) and the dynamic parameters of LV5 were significantly decreased in RA group.Compared with control group, bone formation of Tx was decreased in periosteal surfaces but enhanced in endocortical surfaces in RA group.Compared with RA group, the biomechanical properties of LV4 were increased significantly in low and medium dose of Danshengubao groups.Conclusion sRA can decrease the size and the biomechanical properties of LV, but it can not change the percentage trabecular area. The mechanism may be related to the act that RA can inhibit cancellous bone formation, decrease the modeling of cortical bone in periosteal surfaces and enhance the remolding of cortical bone in endocortical surfaces. Danshengubao can improve biomechanics of LV induced by RA in rats.

BACKGROUND: Observation and comparison about space-occupying lesions due to herniated nucleus pulposus, as well as nerve root compression in lumbosacral disc herniation and manipulative therapy are easily available; however, there is still lack of related quantitative research regarding the internal pressure in herniated nucleus pulposus.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of the internal pressure in herniated nucleus pulposus on nerve root compression in patients with lumbosacral disc herniation.DESIGN: Case control study.SETTING: Bone Setting Therapeutic Center, the Air Force General Hospital of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 30 patients with lumbosacral disc herniation received operation in the Orthopedic Department of the Air Force General Hospital between October 2002 and December 2003; meanwhile, 15 patients with lumbosacral disc herniation received manipulative therapy in the Bone Setting Therapeutic Center of the same hospital.ing positive group and negative group according to the results of straight leg raising test. The pressure in herniated nucleus pulposus was detected during operation, and the straight leg raising height was also recorded beThe size of intervertebral disk herniated nucleus was presented by the maximum vertical distance from the intervertebral disk herniating apex to the posterior edge of vertebra on CT and/or MRI transverse section.raising height.RESULTS:Totally 30 patients received operative treatment whereas 15The pressure in lumbosacral disc herniated nucleus andthe size of herniated nucleus pulposus: as for patients who received operation, the pressure in herniated nucleus pulposus was obviously higher in positive group than in negative group [(2.119±0.753), (0.483±0.420) kPa, P < 0.01]. However,the size of herniated nucleus pulposus was not significantly different between positive group and negative group [(4.688±1.991), (4.857±2.033) mm,nipulative therapy, their straight leg raising height was obviously increased compared to that before operation [(54.000±16.388)°, (72.668±15.338)°,P < 0.01], but the size of herniated nucleus pulposus was proved not obviously changed by CT or MRI examination after manipulative therapy (P > 0.05).cleus pulposus on nerve root is related to the iuternal pressure of herniated nucleus pulposus; higher internal pressure in herniated nucleus pulposus would limit straight leg raising height while lower internal pressure has less effect. However, the compression of herniated nucleus pulposus on nerve root has no obvious relationship with the size of herniated nucleus compression by reducing the internal pressure in herniated nucleus pulposus, which may not only depend on changing the space-occupying of herniated nucleus pulposus.

Objective To investigate the expressions of interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α) in cartilage of children with Kashin-Beck disease(KBD) in order to provide a possible mechanism of the disease. Methods Articular cartilage tissues of 5 KBD children(KBD group) were selected from KBD children autopsy samples keeping in Institute of Endemic Diseases, Medical School of Xi’an Jiaotong University; articular cartilage tissues of 5 normal children ( control group ) were selected from non-KBD areas of Shaanxi Province, three cases were from accident death children, two cases were the samples of congential malformation of six finger. Expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the cartilage were detected using immunohistochemistry; the cells of articular cartilage were divided into three areas (superficial zone, middle zone and deep zone) to analyze the expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α. Results The expressions of IL-1β in superficial zone , middle zone and deep zone of articular cartilage of KBD group (63.50 ± 7.19, 54.75 ± 5.50, 66.20 ± 9.91) were significantly higher than those of control group(5.75 ± 1.26, 0.00 ± 0.00, 0.00 ± 0.00, all P<0.05). The expression of IL-6 in superficial zone of articular cartilage in KBD group(55.25 ± 6.24) was significantly higher than that of control group(0.00 ± 0.00, P<0.05). The expressions of TNF-αin all zone of articular cartilage of KBD group(33.25 ± 6.50, 3.75 ± 0.96, 29.80 ± 1.92) were significantly higher than those of control group (3.74 ± 0.82, 0.00 ± 0.00, 0.00 ± 0.00, all P < 0.05). Conclusion The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α are up-regulated in articular cartilage of KBD children, suggesting that cytokines may play an important role in matrix degradation in KBD children cartilage.

This investigation was directed to the effects of DanShenGuBao on biomechanical properties and bone mineral density (BMD) of femur induced by retinoic acid (RA) in rats. Forty 4-month-old virgin female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups(8 rats each) control group, RA group and different doses of DanShenGuBao groups. Rats in control group were given vehicle, rats in other four groups were given RA at 70 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) in the morning and given different drugs in the afternoon at the same time. Rats in RA group were given vehicle, rats in other groups were given different doses of DanShenGuBao which contained 10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), 5 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), 2.5 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) tanshinol, respectively. All of rats were treated at 5 ml x kg(-1) by oral gavaged for 28 days. In preparation for the determination of dynamic changes in bone tissues, all rats were given subcutaneous injections of 30 mg x kg(-1) tetracycline on the 14th, 13th day and 5 mg x kg(-1) calcein on the 4th, 3rd day before death. At the experimental endpoint, the rats were sacrificed by cardiac puncture under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia. Physical parameters, BMD and biomechanical properties of femur were assessed. Compared with those in control group, the physical parameters (cross-sectional diameter, wet and dry weight), BMD and biomechanical properties (max-load, elasticity-load, break-strain, rigid coefficient and bending-energe) were significantly decreased in RA group. Compared with that in RA group, the BMD of femur was increased significantly in medium and high dose of DanShenGuBao group, but there was no significant change in physical parameters and biomechanical properties of femur. RA could decrease the physical parameters, BMD and biomechanical properties of femur. DanShenGuBao could increase BMD, but it was found with no obvious effect on physical parameters and biomechanical properties.

8.Research Progress on Immune Mechanism of Immune Thrombocytopenia--Review.
Journal of Experimental Hematology 2019;27(4):1321-1324
Abstract Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune hemorrhagic disease, although the ITP pathogenesis is completely unknown, but in terms of the current view, the immune tolerance is main reason for the onset of ITP. In recent years, more and more immune cell subsets, cytokines and the new approacher were found to be closely related with the ITP, such as saliva acid, B cell activating factor, dysfunction of regulatory B cells and Th1/Th2 balance drift, CD4 CD25 T cell function defect, IL-23/Th17 pathway regulation, etc., In this paper, the latest research progress on the immune pathogenesis of ITP are reviewed, so as to provide theoretical basis and research direction for further understanding the pathogenesis of ITP.

Journal of Experimental Hematology 2021;29(1):306-310
In recent years, it is found that the classical IKKα and IKKβ pathway were closely relates with hematological tumors, except the classical pathogenesis, moreover the classical IKKβ pathway is deeply studied. The studies indicated that the IKKβis activated to phosphorylate the NF-κB through multiple cascades under the effect of extracellular IL-6, TNF-α and other stimulating factors. At the cellular level, the classical IKKβcan promote the tumor cell survival and proliferation, reduce the cell apoptosis, and promote the angiogenesis and cell transfer. Although the classical IKKα plays a role in regulating IKKβ activity, but its role in non-classical pathway is more prominent. This review briefly summarizes the latest advance of researches on the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies in term of IKKα and IKKβpathway, so as to provide the theoretic basis for deeply understanding and studying the pathogenesis of hematologic tumors. At present, blocking the classical IKKα and IKKβ pathway has become a new target for treatment of hematological tumors, moreover, some specific inhibitor for IKKα and IKKβpathway have been developed, for example, LY2409881, BMS 345541 and so on. Most of these drugs are in clinical trials and display some good anti-tumor effects.

BACKGROUNDThe accuracy of clinical TNM staging correlates with appropriate treatment in patients with lung cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the agreement between clinical and surgical-pathological staging in patients with lung cancer and analyze its cause in detail.
METHODSOne hundred and fifty patients with lung cancer treated surgically from 2000 were enrolled randomly. Clinical and surgical-pathological staging of them were made respectively according to the International System for Staging Lung Cancer newly revised by UICC. Then concordance was determined between the two staging results with Kappa value, and difference in coincident rate was analyzed among subgroups of T staging.
RESULTSFor T staging, the agreement was excellent (Kappa value=0.729), however, the coincident rate of T3 or T4 was significantly lower than that in T1 or T2 group (P < 0.01). The agreement of N staging was poor (Kappa value=0.108), followed by a disappointed conformity of TNM staging (Kappa value=0.287).
CONCLUSIONSClinical T staging based on CT can indicate the location and size of primary tumor precisely. But the borderline may be difficult to estimate when tumor site is near chest wall or mediastinum, so some patients with clinical T4 still have chances to receive complete resection. The conformity of N staging is rather poor. The key point to improve the accuracy of clinical TNM staging should be to seek more reliable techniques for evaluating N status.
