SUMMARY A 61-year-old male patient, with the history of premier myocardial infarction and CABG surgery, experienced recurrent unstable angina. Angiography showed triple vessel disease and vein grafts obstruction. The patient underwent a re-do OPCAB + TMLR + bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNCs) transplantation on Nov. 8, 2004. BM-MNCs were isolated with standard gravity gradient method and the final implanted cell number was 12.06?108. Peri-operative data were similar to those of single OPCAB or re-CABG. The patient recovered promptly without recurrence of angina or infarction. Six-minute walking distance increased significantly (366 m to 493 m). Several imaging examinations reveal improved left cardiac function (LVEF improved from 23.75% to 52% in MRI) and diminished MI area. The results reveal that bone marrow cell transplantation, combined with TMLR and OPCAB is safe and might be effective in improving heart function for patients with IHD.

?AlM:To understand the clinical effect of trabeculectomy with mitomycin and interferon therapy on neovascular glaucoma.? METHODS: Neovascular glaucoma patients in our hospital from January 2011 to January 2013 were sampled, from them, 57 cases ( 57 eyes ) were randomly divided into two groups, control group received routine trabeculectomy for treatment, the experimental group accepted combination therapy of trabeculectomy +mitomycin + interferon.

The rate of complications in experimental group ( 10%) was slightly higher than that of the control group (7%), but there was no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05).? CONCLUSlON: Trabeculectomy combined mitomycin and interferon treatment of neovascular glaucoma has exact clinical effect, and is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Objective: To determine plasma levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (sTRAIL) and its soluble death receptor (sDR4, sDR5) in essential hypertension (EH) patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Methods: Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure plasma levels of sTRAIL, sDR4 and sDR5 in 50 EH + LVH patients (EH + LVH group), 50 EH patients without LVH (EH group) and 50 healthy subjects (healthy control group), and the results were compared and analyzed among three groups. Results: ① Compared with healthy control group and EH group, there were significant increase in plasma levels of sTRAIL [(0.95±0.11) ng/ml vs. (1.12±0.86) ng/ml vs. (1.74±1.19) ng/ml], sDR4[(2.38±0.32) pg/ml vs. (5.63±1.05) pg/ml vs. (8.72±1.14) pg/ml] and sDR5[(< 6 pg/ml) vs. (39.19±8.23) pg/ml vs. (78.21±11.2) pg/ml] in EH + LVH group, P<0.01 all; and levels of sDR4 and sDR5 in EH group were significantly higher than those of healthy control group (P<0.01 both), but there was no significant difference in sTRAIL level between the two groups (P>0.05); ② Pearson correlation analysis indicated that there were significant positive correlation among levels of sTRAIL, sDR4 and sDR5 in EH + LVH patients (r=0.325~0.410, P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusion: Plasma levels of sTRAIL, sDR4 and sDR5 may be valuable indexes for prediction of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertension.

BACKGROUND: The neural stem cells (NSCs) will be clinically applied extensively in the future, and seeking of more promoting methods of the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs in vitro will be the study direction of NSCs.OBJECTIVE: To introduce an economic and time-saving method for NSCs proliferation.DESIGN: Observation and control experiment.SETTING: Beijing Neurosurgical Institute.MATERIALS: Four Wistar rats pregnant for 14 days with the body mass of (180±20) g (bought from Animal Department of Chinese Academyof Medical Sciences with the batch number of SCXK1100-0006 for experiment animals) were selected and fed at common temperature and humidity.The DMEM/F12 and B27 were bought from Gibco Corporation. The basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were bought from PeproTech Company. The nidogen monoclonal antibody (MA),glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) polyclonal antibody, galactocerebroside polyclonal antibody and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) were obtained from Chemicon Company. The fetal bovine serum (FCS) was provided by Hyclone company.METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the Department of Injury and Repair of Beijing Neurosurgical Institute from May to October 2004.Wistar rats were executed by dislocation and sterilized by putting into 75% alcohol. Four rats were used each time, the brain tissues of which were put into Hank's fluid. The cerebral pia mater and vessels were isolated under anatomical microscope, and the brain tissues were sheared off with eye scissors, which were filtered by 200 mesh copper grid and collected into 2 centrifuge tubes, and the supernatant was gotten rid off after that. ①Cells were divided into serum pre-culture group and control group according to whether there were serum pre-culture. The DMEM nutrient fluid of FCS (100 g/L) was added to serum pre-culture group, which was replaced by DMEM/F12 nutrient fluid of EGF, bFGF and B27 at 48 hours after culture. The cells in the control group were added with DMEM/F12 nutrient fluid of EGF, bFGF and B27 to culture in 5% CO2 incubator for one week at 37 ℃. The growth of NSCs at 48 hours after culture was observed in both groups under inverted contrast phase microscope.②On the 5th and 10th day after differentiation induced by 100 g/L FCS, nestin, GFAP, galactocerebroside and MAP2 were stained with immunofluorescence antibody,and the expressions of NSCs in both groups were observed under fluorescent microscope. The PBS buffer solution was used instead of first antibody in the control group, while other procedures were the same as above.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Observation of NSCs growth at 48 hours after culture under contrast phase microscope in both groups. ②Detection of NSC specific antigen expressions with immunofluorescence stain in both groups.RESULTS: ①In the cells of the serum pre-culture group at 48 hours after culture, there were large number of regular NSC bulbs, most of which were aggregated by 8-10 cells. The proliferation of cell bulbs was accelerated after the nutrient fluid was replaced to DMEM/F12 nutrient fluid of EGF,bFGF and B27, while irregular lamellar cells could be seen in the control group at 48 hours after culture, and small regular cell bulbs were found at 4-5 days later. ②It could be seen under fluorescence microscope that on the 5th day after induced differentiation, the nestin, GFAP and galactocerebroside were positive, while MAP2 was negative. On the 10th day after induced differentiation, nestin and GFAP were positive, whereas the galactocerebroside and MAP2 were negative (no representation).CONCLUSION: Serum pre-culture can accelerate the bulb-aggregation of NSCs as well as promote the proliferation of NSCs.

Objective To explore the narcotic effect of three inhalation induced methods of sevoflurane.Methods According to the different inhalation methods of sevoflurane,60 patients with elective upper abdominal surgery under intubation general anesthesia were divided into group A (vital capacity breathing),group B (tidal volume breathing),and group C (gradually increasing the concentration of sevoflurane),each group 20 cases.The sevoflurane concentration of A group and B group was 9％,which of group C was 4％,and oxygen pipeline was prefilled by oxygen flow(3L/min).The heart rate(HR),mean blood pressure(MAP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP) and systolic blood pressure(SBP) values and the effect of muscle relaxants were observed and recorded at T1 (basic indicators),T2 (eyelash reflex),T3 (before intubation),T4 (intubation time 2 min),T5 (intubation time 4 min),T6 (intubation time 6 min).Results The SBP,DBP,and MAP of group A,B and C at different time points were all inhibited(all P ＜0.05),and the significant inhibitory effect was at time point T3 (all P ＜0.01).There was no close correlation between HR changes and the muscle relaxant effect of group A,B and C at different point(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Three kinds of sevoflurane inhalation induction can lower blood pressure,and they are safe,reliable,and able to be accepted by the patients.

Objective To determine the expression of metastasis-associated gene 2 ( MTA2 ) and p53 in colorectal cancer and non-cancerous mucosa, analyze their relationship with clinicopathological parameters, and discuss the clinical significance. Methods 120 colorectal neoplasm patients' cancer tissues and clinical information were col-lected from the first affiliated hospital of Anhui medical university. 30 patients of them were chosen to collect non-cancerous mucosa which was 5 cm away from the tumor. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the ex-pression of MTA2 and p53. According to the clinicopathological parameters, the positive and negative expression of MTA2, p53 were counted each group, discussed the relationship between positive expression and clinicopathologi-cal parameters by SPSS 19.0 . Results The immunohistochemistry showed that the positive expression rate of MTA2 was 59.16%, and the positive expression rate of p53 was 61.67%. The expression of MTA2 and p53 in colorectal cancer were significantly higher than non-cancerous mucosa ( P<0.05 ) . The MTA2 expression was positively cor-related with the depth of invasion, lymphatic metastasis, distant metastasis and TNM stages (P<0.05). The p53 protein expression was positively correlated with depth of invasion and lymphatic metastasis ( P<0.05 ) . Conclu-sion MTA2 could be used as a new clinical biomarker and therapeutic target for colorectal cancer probably, which might be more effective than p53 .

To identify the best suture techniques for the tendon repair, the biomechanical properties of tendons sutured by different methods were dynamically examined. 140 chickens were divided into 2 groups equally: group A and group B. The tendon of the right side was subjected to injury-repair process, and the tendons of the left sides served as controls in both groups. In group A, "figure-of-8" suture, modified Kessler suture and Bunnell suture were used for the 2nd to 4th paws respectively, while in group B, Kleinert suture, Tsuge suture and Ikuta suture were used. On the day 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42 after operation, 10 animals were sacrificed and the flexor tendons of both sides were harvested for strength test. The results showed that the initial strength of the repaired tendons and the strength after 6 weeks following tendon cut were far below those of intact tendons, irrespective of suture techniques used. With the 6 techniques, the P(max) of tendons repaired by Tsuge suture was increased continually, reaching the highest value on the 42nd day. The P(max) of tendons sutured by the modified Kessler suture was slightly lower than that by Tsuge suture, but it was increased steadily in healing. The tendons repaired by figure-of-8 suture yielded the lowest P(max). It was concluded that Tsuge suture and modified Kessler suture were the best techniques for tendon repair.
