ObjectiveTo study the effect of enriched rehabilitative training on the functional recovery and neuronal dentritic growth following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.Methods32 male Wistar rats,weighting 180～200 g,were randomly divided into a ischemic group(n=16) and a sham-operation group(n=16) after beforehand trainings.Rats were subjected to 2 h of right middle cerebral artery occlusion before reperfusion.After surgery,the ischemic group were randomly divided into a ischemia + enrichment(IE) group and a ischemia + standard housing(IS) group;the sham-operation group were randomly divided into a sham + enrichment(SE) group and a sham + standard housing(SS) group.After 24 h reperfusion,IE and SE groups were housed in enriched cages,and given enriched rehabilitative training according to the scheme.At the same time,IS and SS groups were housed in standard cages without any training.The functions of 4 groups were evaluated at 24 h,1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks and 4 week after operation.Dentritic growth of layer V pyramidal cells of the undamaged forelimb motor cortex was examined using Golgi-Cox procedure.ResultsIE group showed better function than IS group in all behavioral test.There was no significant difference in limb-placement test at 3 weeks(P>0.05) and in footfault test at 4 weeks(P>0.05) after operation between IE and SE group.The mean of basilar dentrite branching points in IE group was significantly greater than that of other groups(P<0.01).ConclusionEnriched rehabilitative training can promote functional recovery and enhance neural plasticity after cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion in rats.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of CDK4 and cyclin D1 in gastric carcinoma,and to discuss their correlation with WHO histological classification,TNM stages and lymph node metastasis.Methods Forty paraffin wax specimens from patients with gastric carcinoma were collected and expression of CDK4 and cyclin D1 proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the positive rates for CDK4 and cyclin D1 protein were 65% and 55%,respectively.There was positive correlation between CDK4 and cyclin D1 proteins(P0.05).Conclusion CDK4 and cyclin D1 proteins are frequently overexpressed in gastric carcinoma and there is a positive relationship between the two proteins,which may be involved in the development of gastric carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the expression and its possible role of Oct4B1 subtype of Embryonic stem cell transcription factor Oct4 in colorectal cancer stem cells. Methods: 3D microspheres were cultured by suspension culture to human colorectal cancer cell line SW480 cells. The 3D microspheres and SW480 cells were used as the research objects. Whether 3D microspheres were enriched cancer stem cells,we used the methods of cell differentiation experiments,soft agar cloning experiments,and the expression levels of cancer stem cells markers CD133,CD44 detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of Oct4B1 mRNA were detected by RT-qPCR. Results:3D microspheres could differentiate into normal cancer cells. Compared with the parental SW480 cells,in vitro colony formation was significantly enhanced(P<0. 01),the percentage of positive cells of CD133 and CD44 were significantly increased ( P < 0. 01 ), the expression levels of Oct4B1 mRNA were obviously higher ( P < 0. 01 ) in 3D microspheres. Conclusion: Oct4B1 subtype of Embryonic stem cell transcription factor Oct4 in 3D microspheres enriched human colorectal cancer stem cells,which may be involved in the regulation of colorectal cancer stem cells.

Objective To explore the significance of dysplasia and cytogenetic changes to the diagnosis and typing of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).Methods The dysplasia performance of each series in every isoforms was observed by the bone marrow aspiration and peripheral blood smear to the 132 patients with MDS. At the same time do the chromosome karyotype was analizad combined with morbidness cells and chromosome karyotype abnormal analysis associated with MDS subtype. Resuits Acorrding to the dysplasia ≥0.10, the totle detection rate of granulocyte series, erythrocyte series and megakaryocytic was 43.4 ％.The morbidness granulocyte and megalokaryocyte ≥0.10was mainly in RCMD (P ＜ 0.01); morbidness erythrocytes≥0.10 mainly in RA + RARS (P ＜ 0.01). the totle detection rate of chromosome karyotype abnormal in MDS was 44.0 ％.The detection rate in RA and RARS was lower than other isoforms,but showed no statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).the relationships of dysplasia and chromosome karyotype abnormal with the isoforms of MDS:in RA group,50.0 ％(3/6) patients had karyotype abnormal simultaneous the detection of morbidness cells≥0.10, 76.0 ％(19/25) in RCMD group and 60.9 ％(14/23) in RAEB group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Theve is relationships between the patients with chromosome karyotype abnormal and dysplasia ≥0.10 and the isoforms of MDS. Closely monitoring the hemopoiesis and cytogenetic changes is significance to diagnose MDS.

Objective To investigate the presence of occult brain tissue damage in patients with relapsing neuromyelitis optica(RNMO)and its possible mechanism by using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).Methods DTI scans were performed in 16 patients with RNMO and 16 sex-and age-matched healthy controls.Histogram analysis of mean diffusivity (MD)and fractional anisotropy (FA)was performed in brain tissue (BT),white matter (WM)and gray matter (GM)to detect the presence of occult brain tissue damage in RNMO patients.Region of interest(ROI )analysis of MD and FA was also performed in 6 dedicated regions with or without direct connection with spinal cord or optic nerve to determine the relationship between occult brain tissue damage and the damage of spinal cord and optic nerve.Results Patients with RNMO had a significantly higher average MD of the BT[RNMO(0.95?0.02)? 10~(-3)mm~2/s,controls (0.91?0.03)?10~(-3)mm~2/s,t = 3.940,P
