BACKGROUND:Tamoxifen has been found to exert neuroprotection by reducing cerebral hemorrhage and edema surrounding the injured site of the spinal cord.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the neuroprotective effect of tamoxifen on rat acute spinal cord injury and the underlying mechanism.
METHODS:Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were equivalently randomized into five groups, and modeled into spinal cord injury at T10 level using modified Al en’s weight-drop method (70 g/cm), except those in sham operation group. At 30 minutes after modeling, al rats were given the intraperitoneal injection of 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/kg tamoxifen or same amount of normal saline, once daily. Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan (BBB) scores were recorded at 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery. The injured spinal cord was removed at 72 hours to observe its edema. Meanwhile, the levels of interleukin-1β, interleukin-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α, as wel as Caspase-3 activity were detected by ELISA;the protein levels of nuclear factor-κB p65, phosphorylated I-κBαand Caspase-3 were detected by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, the hind limb function in the tamoxifen groups was significantly improved. Tamoxifen significantly decreased the water content in the rat spinal cord and inhibited spinal cord edema at 72 hours after surgery. ELISA results showed that tamoxifen significantly reduced the activity of interleukin-1β, interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-αand Caspase-3 (P<0.05). Western blot assay revealed that tamoxifen significantly downregulated the expression levels of nuclear factor-κB p65, phosphorylated I-κBαand Caspase-3. These results suggest that tamoxifen protects against spinal cord injury via suppressing inflammatory response and apoptosis-associated proteins.

Objective:To research the effects of HH singaling pathway on proliferation,apoptosis and CyclinD1 expression of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by MDA-MB-231 cells treated with Cyclopamine,a HH singaling pathway inhibitor.Methods:MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with Cyclopamine.Cell proliferation was detected by MTT;Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were analysed by flow cytometry(FCM).The mRNA levels of GLI1,CyclinD1 were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR);The protein level of CyclinD1 was detected by immunostaining of cell lines.Results:Compared with control group,Cyclopamine could significantly inhibit the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner;By FCM the treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with Cyclopamine induced a remarkable increase in the proportion of cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle and after 48 h the sub-G1 peak appeared.The mRNA levels of GLI1,CyclinD1 and the expression of CyclinD1 protein were reduced.Conclusion:The HH signaling pathway was activeted in MDA-MB-231 cells.HH signaling pathway inhibitor,Cyclopamine,could inhibit the proliferation,induce the apoptosis and reduce the expression of CyclinD1 in MDA-MB-231 cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of intmopemtive intravenous penehyclidine hydrochloride on pulmonary function in patients undergoning thoracotomy.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 30-64 yr scheduled for elective radical esophagectomy for cancer were randomly divided into 2 group(n=30 each):penehyclidinc hydrochloride group and control group.Penehychdine hydrochloride 0.01 mg/kg(in nolmal saline 2 ml)was injected iv 20 min after opening the thoracic cavity in penehyclidine hydrochloride group.The equal vohlme of normal saline was injected iv in control group.Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 2μg/kg,propofol 0.4μG/ml and rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with remlfentanyl 0.1μg·min-1,propofol 2.0-2.5 μg/ml and intermittent iv injecfion of rocuronium.The use of remifentanyl and pmpofol was stopped 5 min before operation.Dynamic lung compliance (Cd) and peak airway pressure were monitored and recorded immediately before penehychdine hydrechlofide administration (T0) and at 3 min(T1),5 min(T2),10 min(T3),30 min(T4),1 h(T5),2 h (T6)after penehyclidine hydrochloride administration.Results There was no significant difference in Cd and peak airway pressure among different time points in control group(P>0.05).Cd was significantly higher,while peak airway pressure lower at T1-6 than at T0 in penehychdine hydrochlofide group(P<0.05).Cd wag significantly higher,while peak airway pressure lower at T1-6 in penehyclidine hydrochloride group than in control group(P<0.05) .Conclusion Intraoperative intravenous penehyclidine hydrochloride can improve the pneumodynamics and is helpful for ventilation in patients undergoing thoracotomy.

Chondroblastoma of the patella, rare occurred in patellar,is a kind of an uncommon benign bone tumor. Compared with giant cell tumor, the morbidity of chondroblastoma is lower. Meanwhile, its clinical manifestations are various, and images are very complicated. Therefore, the understanding of this kind of tumors may be limited even to the orthopedist. The differences of patellar chondroblastoma between other tumor in X-ray, CT and MRI is a spot in recent years. Sometimes patellar chondroblastoma coexists with aneurysmal bone cyst, which is a challenge to obtain an accurate pathological and radiological diagnosis. For the treatment, curettage and bone grafting is one the most popular method, but whether to perform a biopsy before surgery still remain controversy. Some new technique still has an unknown prospect for the treatment such as radiofrequency ablation.
