Objective To explore the effect of salmon calcitonin on osteoporosis induced by spinal cord injury. Methods 100 patients with osteoporosis induced by spinal cord injury from September 2011 to September 2014 in our department were included. They were randomly divided into control group (n=50) and observation group (n=50). The control group received vitamin D3 only, while the observation group received vitamin D3 combined with salmon calcitonin on the basis of rehabilitation physiotherapy, for 6 months. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain was evaluated in different periods. The bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine and femoral neck, the parathyroid hormone (PTH), bone gla protein (BGP) and 1,25- dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) were tested and recorded. Results The VAS score was lower in the observation group than in the control group 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after treatment (P<0.001). The BMD of lumbar spine and femoral neck was significantly higher, the PTH and BGP were significantly lower and the 1,25-(OH)2D3 was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group after treatment (P<0.001). Conclusion Combination of salmon calcitonin can effectively reduce the bone pain and improve the BMD in patients with osteoporosis induced by spinal cord injury.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of paeoniflorin in protection of retinal ischemia injury.Methods Fifty-four male specefic pathogen free (SPF) degree Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group and paeoniflorin group.Retinal ischemia injury was induced by raising the intraocular pressure of right eyes of rats to 110 mmHg for 30 minutes.The rats of paeoniflorin group were administrated through intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg paeoniflorin each day for 14 days.OCT and electroretinogram (ERG) were performed to detect the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer+retinal ganglion cell layer+inner plexiform layer (NGI)and electrophysiological changes of retina,respectively.Retrograde labelling of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) was used to evaluate the survival number of RGCs.Western blot analysis was used to detect NLRP3,apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase activation and recruitment domain (ASC),cleaved caspase 1 (c-caspase 1),IL-18,and IL-1β expression.The use and care of animals complied with the statement of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) and Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results The thickness of retinal NGI in model control group was (58.2 ± 1.7) μm,which was significantly lower than (84.8 ± 1.9) μm in normal control group and (71.1 ±2.4) μm in paeoniflorin group (both at P<0.05).The amplitudes of A and B waves in paeoniflorin group and normal control group were significantly higher than those in model control group (both at P<0.05).The number of RGC in model control group was significantly lower than that in paeoniflorin group and normal control group (both at P<0.05).The relative expressions of NLRP3,ASC,c-caspase 1,IL-18 and IL-1β in model control group were significantly higher than those in normal control group and paeoniflorin group (all at P<0.05).Conclusions The paeoniflorin can prevent retinal ischemia induced injury of the retina through NLRP3 inflammasomes pathway,which provides a new treatment strategy for clinical therapy.

Methods Fifty.four male specefic pathogen free ( SPF) degree Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group and paeoniflorin group. Retinal ischemia injury was induced by raising the intraocular pressure of right eyes of rats to 110 mmHg for 30 minutes. The rats of paeoniflorin group were administrated through intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg paeoniflorin each day for 14 days. OCT and electroretinogram ( ERG ) were performed to detect the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer+retinal ganglion cell layer+inner plexiform layer ( NGI) and electrophysiological changes of retina, respectively. Retrograde labelling of retinal ganglion cells ( RGCs ) was used to evaluate the survival number of RGCs. Western blot analysis was used to detect NLRP3,apoptosis.associated speck.like protein containing a caspase activation and recruitment domain (ASC),cleaved caspase 1 (c.caspase 1), IL.18,and IL.1β expression.

Objective:To cultivate human-derived prostate cancer (PCa) cells via conditional reprogramming cell (CRC) technology, and establish individualized cell bank for PCa research in vitro.Methods:We obtained three fresh PCa tissue samples from different patients between January 2019 and April 2019. Then each sample was divided into two parts. One was used for cancer nature confirmation by intraoperative biopsy. Another part was sent to the laboratory and digested into single primary cancer cells with 0.25% EDTA enzyme for CRC technology. The details were described as followed: 1. The primary PCa cells were co-cultured with 3T3-J2 cells irradiated by 30 Gy (feeder cells) in conditioned medium, and observed for the growth of cell clones, 2. The feeder cells were removed by 0.25% EDTA trypsin for 1 minute before primary PCa cells digested for passage. All primary PCa cells were validated by multiple experiments such as immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, immunoblotting and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Results:Total three cases of human-derived PCa cell lines were successfully established during 15days through CRC technology. All those primary PCa cells could be steadily and continuously passaged, which also expressed AR, CK5, CK18, P504s and PSA. FISH demonstrated that each cell line harbored≥1.6% TMPRSS2/ERG fusion and conformed to the features of PCa.Conclusion:CRC technology can be used for stable and continuous PCa cell culture in vitro.
