Journal of Clinical Neurology 1995;0(04):-
Objective To investigate the role of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (~1H-MRS) in accurate lateralization of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and the factors which influenc ~1H-MRS in epileptogenic zones.Methods ~1H MRS and MRI were performed in 40 patients with TLE and 20 healthy volunteers by 1.5T MR/MRS system. The data of spectra of N-acetylaspartate (NAA), creatine+phosphocreatine (Cr) and choline-containing compounds (Cho) obtained from the medial regions of the temporal lobes were analyzed. Lateralization of TLE with ~1H-MRS was defined by the ratio of NAA/(Cho+Cr).Results The ratios of NAA/(Cho+Cr) both in epileptogenic zones (0.45?0.12) and contralateral regions (0.51?0.10) were lower than that in control group (0.58?0.09)( P0.05). There was significant difference in bilateral abnormal EEG between bilateral abnormal NAA/(Cho+Cr) and unilateral abnormal NAA/(Cho+Cr)( P

Rupture of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common sports injury.It will cause knee osteoarthritis because of joint instability and acceleration of degenerative changes after injury.Arthroscopic reconstruction with a tendon graft is a common procedure to achieve function recovery.A series of histological changes and structural modification happened between the tendon and bone tunnel after ACL reconstruction and complete tendon-bone healing was achieved finally.A number of factors affects the healing process which determined the long-term result of the treatment.Published literatures reported that about 11%-32% patients underwent ACL reconstruction were not satisfied with the results and 10% of them required reoperation.Studies on the tendon-bone healing have long been a research hotspot in sports medicine.Controversy still remains not only on the fundamental healing process but also on the stimulating factors despite of a large amount of researches on its physiological basis,influencing factors,et al.This article provides a review of the basis and influence factors of the healing process,and summarizes the methods to accelerate the process of tendon-bone healing.

Objective To construct the genes expression profile database of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice model and to screen the high candidate genes with microarray analysis. Methods Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products on behalf of 4 096 genes from mixed mice tissue library were assembled on the modified Oako glass slide. The general RNA from 6 EAE mice model and 6 normal mice head was transcripted into cDNA by RT-PCR and labelled with cy-3 and cy-5.6 groups each consist one EAE mice and a control. These two probes were mixed and hybridized with the above mentioned gene chips. Scan array 4000 was used for scanning the hybridizing signals and GenePixPro 3.0 for date analysis. Results Of the total 4 096 genes monitored, 43 genes in group one showed changes in expression level of the ratio outside 0.5 and 2, 30 genes differed in group two, 176 genes changed in group three, 76 in group four, 294 in group five and 129 in group six. Conclusions The results showed the consistent different genes expression throughout the EAE mice model. The genes related to immune, cell structure, cell cycle, ion channel, signal transduction, protein synthesis and metabolism are involved in EAE pathogenesis. The results provide deeper insights into the mechanism of EAE and multiple sclerosis.

BACKGROUND:The type B synoviocytes induced by transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1) have the potential to differentiate into chondrocyte,which can remain the phenotype in vitro. However,whether the transfected cell combined with scaffold can form cartilage tissues need further research. OBJECTIVE:Rabbit type B synoviocytes was transfected by liposome method in vitro,combined the cells with Pluronic-F127,and then implanted into nude mouse to construct tissue engineering cartilage. Additionally,to explore the feasibility of synoviocytes differentiate into chondrocytes.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The randomized animal experiment of cytology observation. The experiment was performed at the Medical Research Center,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between April 2007 and May 2008.MATERIALS:Healthy New Zealand white rabbits,aged 3 months,and 12 BALB/c nude mice,aged 4 weeks,weighted 20 g.METHODS:The synovial membrane tissues were taken out from the rabbit knee,isolated by enzyme digestion,and then transfected. The positive cloning was screened by G418,and the expression of TGF-β1 and collagen Ⅱ was detected. The Pluronic-F127 was dissolved at 4℃ and prepared fluid with concentration of 30%. The fluid was mixed with cells. At the same time,there were 2 groups as the control group:chondrocytes with Pluronic-F127,and synoviocytes transfeced by pcDNA3.1(+)and Pluronic-F127. The cell density was 5x1010/L. Each compound (0.2 mL) was injected into the subcutaneous of the nude mouse back. Rats were sacrificed at weeks 4,6 and 8 to harvest samples.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Cell growth curve;phenotype change of the cells after transfection;histological observation of the tissue in the subcutaneous of the nude mouse back. RESULTS:Cell growth curve demonstrated that the living activity of the transfected cells was temporary decreased,which returned into normal level at days 6,7 after transfection. At day 4 after transfection,TGF β1 were positive expressed,and at day 7,the collagen Ⅱ staining were positive. The compounds in the subcutaneous of the nude mouse back formed immature chondroid tissues at week 4,which turned to mature chondroid tissue at week 8,and the collagen Ⅱ staining were positive.CONCLUSION:The transfected synoviocytes can express the phenotype of chondrocytes in vitro,and form chondrocyte-likecells. The transfected synoviocytes with Pluronic-F127 can form chondroid tissues in nude mice.

BACKGROUND: The relationship between liver cancer recurrence and hepatitis B virus recurrence remains poorly understood and it is considered to be related to application of immunosuppressive agent after liver transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of tacrolimus (FK506) on the proliferation of HepG2.2.15 cells and the replication of hepatitis B virus in vitro. METHODS: HepG2.2.15 cells were in vitro cultured. After passage 3 HepG2.2.15 cells were cultured for 24 hours, they were interfered with different concentrations of FK506. 0 g/L FK506-interfered group served as control group, 50 g/L FK506-interfered group as low-concentration FK506 group, 100 g/L or 500 g/L FK506-interfered group as medium-concentration FK506 group, and 1 000 g/L or 3 000 g/L FK506-interfered group as high-concentration FK506 group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Moderate- and high-concentration FK506 exhibited inhibitory effects on the proliferation of HepG2.2.15 cells, while low-concentration FK506 exhibited no inhibitory effects with correlation. High-concentration FK506 made HepG2.2.15 cells arresting at G0/G1 stage. FK506 decreased CyclinA expression in HepG2.2.15 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Higher concentration of FK506 leaded to lower expression of CyclinA. FK506 did not produce effects on the replication of hepatitis B virus in HepG2.2.15 cells. These results indicate that FK506 inhibits the proliferation of HepG2.2.15 cells in vitro, which occurs possibly due to Cyclin A, but it would not affect the replication of hepatitis B virus in vitro.
