OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of Xiangdan Injection on mRNA expression of the endothelial vaso-active factors of patients with coronary heart disease and blood stasis. METHODS: Fifty-six patients were randomly divided into two groups:twenty-eight patients were treated according to the therapeutic guide for coronary heart disease as the control group and 28 were given the same treatment plus Xiangdan Injection as the treated group. The expressions of ET-1 and eNOS mRNA were examined with RT-PCR before experiment and ten days later. RESULTS: The positive rate of eNOS mRNA of the treated group increased, while the positive rate of ET-1 mRNA of the treated group decreased after ten day's treatment, with significant differences as compared with that before the experiment. Xiangdan Injection up-regulated the eNOS mRNA expression and suppressed the ET-1 mRNA expression. Changes of expression were not observed in the control group. CONCLUSION: Xiangdan Injection improves the endothelial function of patients with coronary heart disease and blood stasis by regulating the expressions of ET-1 and eNOS mRNA.

Objective To investigate the development of ultrastructure in grafts from a xenograft model of human hemangioma on nude mice.Methods Human infantile hemangioma tissue was obtained in surgery and planted into subcutaneous layer of nude mice in small pieces.The grafts were harvested on the 2~(nd),5~(th),15~(th),30~(th),45~(th) day and then at 2~(nd),3~(rd),4~(th),6~(th) month for transmission electron microscopic view.Results In early stage after transplantation,signs of degeneration and necrosis were more evident.On the 30~(th) day,the number of endothelial cells increased and some of the endothelial cells were larger in size with high nuclear to plasm ratio.At the 2~(nd) month,the number of endothelial cells increased,while some of these cells turned flat.Later,high endothelial cells decreased in number and collapse and pyknosis of plasm,formation of secondary lysosome,margination of chromatin,fragmentation of nucleus were evident with surrounding deposition of adipose and collagen.Conclusions With xenotransplantation of human infantile hemangioma tissue onto nude mice,the grafts may survive ischemia and proliferate,and then gradually involute.The development resembles a natural course of human infantile hemangioma.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, with the in-depth research on thecharacteristics and functions of stem cells,stem cell research has become a hot research targeting thetreatment of a variety of diseases.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress of human amnioticmesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of acute lung injury.METHODS:The PubMed and CNKI databases were searched by computerfor relevant literatures published from January 2000 to January 2017. The key words were mesenchymal stem cells, acute lung injury in Chinese and English,respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:As an important member of adult stem cells, human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells not only have the advantages and characteristics of most other stem cells, but also have unique advantages, such as these cells can be extracted from a vast of sources, require only non-invasive operations, and involve no violation of ethics. Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells can be driven by inflammation reaction and homing to the damaged tissue, and be activated by inflammatory factors to secrete a variety of cytokines in a paracrine fashion, which inhibit neutrophils, macrophages and other immune cell migration and inhibit dendritic cell maturity, and reduce the proliferation of NK cells, B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes, and up-regulate anti-inflammatory cytokines and down-regulate proinflammatory cytokines, and alleviate alveolar inflammatory injury through anti-oxidation and anti-apoptotic processes. Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells can also assist in the repair or homing to the damaged tissue to directionally differentiate to replace the apoptotic and necrotic cells. All of these characteristics of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells provide new insight into the treatment of acute lung injury. As acute lung injury is caused by many pathogenic factors and its pathophysiological process is very complicated, human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in the treatment of acute lung injury has many issues to be resolved.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical results of postoperative rehabilitation of patellar fracture by modified seated position of different knee flexion angles, thereby enrich the therapeutic tool of orthopaedics of traditional Chinese and western medicine and provide the evidences for refinement and modernization of traditional Chinese exercise therapy.

METHODSFrom January 2009 to June 2012,90 patients with patellar transverse fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation by tension band wire and rehabilitation exercises. There were 52 males and 38 females, aged from 21 to 77 years old with an average of 50.0 years old. Three methods of rehabilitation exercises were adopted in the patients after fractures clinical union. There were 21 males and 14 females in group A (trained by modified seated position of knee flexion about 60 degree), 21 males and 14 females in group B (trained by modified seated position of knee flexion about 30 degree), 10 males and 10 females in group C (trained by walk). The rehabilitation-training time was 1 month. Fracture healing informations were observed by X-ray films. The Böstman patellar fracture function scores were compared before and after training among three groups.

RESULTSPostoperative follow-up time was 6 months. All fractures obtained bone union and the average healing time was 3 months (ranged,2 to 4 months). Böstman patellar fracture function scores in group A, B, C before training were 18.89 ± 2.19, 18.74 ± 2.03, 18.85 ± 2.92, respectively; there was no significant differences in among three groups (P > 0.05). After training, Böstman patellar fracture function scores in group A, B, C were 29.40 ± 1.14, 26.09 ± 3.86, 25.70 ± 4.09, respectively; group A was highest than other two groups; and there was no significant differences between group A and group B.

CONCLUSIONModified seated position of knee flexion about 60 degree was practical and effective training in postoperative rehabilitation for the treatment of patellar fracture, it can obtain the better clinical results than other training method such as walk or modified seated position of knee flexion about 30 degree.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the material base and underlying mechanism of the effect of cluster needling of scalp acupuncture on the neuronal plasticity in rats with focal cerebral infarction.

METHODSThe model rats with acute cerebral infarction were made by blocking the middle cerebral artery with monofilament. One hundred and thirty two Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham-operation group (A), model group (B), point-to-point scalp acupuncture group (C) and cluster-needling of scalp acupunture group (D). Puncturing from "Baihui (GV 20)" to "Qubin (GB 7)" was used in group C. Cluster needling of scalp acupuncture was used in group D, in which needles were inserted forward and slantingly into "Baihui (GV 20)" and its left and right sides at 4 mm. In both groups, the treatment was carried out with rapid twirling reinforcing-reducing for 1 min then retaining needle for 30 min, once a day, 6 days in one course, for treating 4 courses. There was no treatment for group A and B. The change of neurological function was evaluated with Bederson score, while the expression of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) in the ischemic penumbra was examined with immunohistochemistry (streptavidin-peroxidase method).

RESULTSIn comparison,with group B, the score of neurological function in group D decreased on 7th day (P<0.05), while the scors in group C and D also decreased on 14th and 28th days (both P<0.05). As compared with group C, the score of neurological function in group D obviously decreased on 28th days (P<0. 05). Comparing with group B, the expression of MAP-2 on the ischemic cortex was significantly increased in group D and C on 7th, 14th and 28th days (all P<0. 05), however, this expression in group D was higher than that in group C on 14th and 28th days (P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONCluster needling of scalp acupuncture can improve the neurological function of rats with focal cerebral infarction, and increase the expression of MAP-2 in the ischemic penumbra.

ObjectiveTo investigate the temporal features of renal injury in rats with severe heat stroke (SHS) and their relationship with inflammatory response.Methods Fifty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group and SHS for 0, 2, 6, 24, 48, 72 hours group (SHS-0, 2, 6, 24, 48, 72 h groups), with 8 rats in each group. Rats were placed in an artificial climate chamber [temperature (39.5±0.2)℃, humidity (60±5)%] to induce SHS model, and the criterion for successful model reproduction was the onset of lowering peak systolic blood pressure (SBP). Then the rats were transferred to room temperature (23.0±0.2)℃ after successful reproduction of the model. The rats of normal control group were kept in room temperature of (23.0±0.2)℃. Heart blood and renal tissue samples were harvested, and the levels of serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were determined by automatic biochemistry analyzer. The levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in renal tissue specimens were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The changes in histopathology in kidney were observed with light microscopy, and Paller scores were used to assess the degree of renal injury.Results Compared with normal control group, the levels of SCr and BUN in serum, and MPO, TNF-α and IL-6 in the renal tissue homogenate were significantly increased in SHS-6 h group [SCr (μmol/L): 174.0±27.0 vs.68.0±11.3, BUN (mmol/L): 12.6±2.3 vs. 4.3±1.2, MPO: (203.0±38.0)% vs. (100.0±1.4)%, TNF-α: (121.0±16.0)% vs. (100.0±1.4)%, IL-6: (118.0±19.0)% vs. (100.0±1.3)%, allP< 0.05], and they peaked at 24 hours [SCr (μmol/L): 489.0±96.0 vs. 68.0±11.3, BUN (mmol/L): 19.3±5.7 vs. 4.3±1.2, MPO: (511.0±41.0)% vs. (100.0± 1.4)%, TNF-α: (399.0±47.0)% vs. (100.0±1.4)%, IL-6: (473.0±56.0)% vs. (100.0±1.3)%, allP< 0.01], then declined to the normal levels at 72 hours. Under light microscopy, tissue edema and necrosis of renal tubules were found, and leukocyte infiltration was found to be most profuse at 24 hours, then they returned to normal levels at 72 hours. Paller scores in SHS-6 h group were significantly higher than those of the normal control group (75.45±9.70 vs. 14.23±3.26,P< 0.01), and it peaked at 24 hours (186.00±14.25 vs. 14.23±3.26,P< 0.01), followed by a gradual lowering, back to normal level at 72 hours.ConclusionThe results suggest that progressive renal damage occurred in the rats with SHS within 24 hours, and it was accompanied with elevated levels of MPO, TNF-α and IL-6 in the kidney homogenate, suggesting that inhibition of neutrophil activation and the release of IL-6, TNF-α may protect the SHS associated renal injury.

OBJECTIVETo establish a modified plasma protamine paracoagulation test.

METHODSPlasma protamine paracoagulation, modified plasma protamine paracoagulation and D-dimer (D-D) tests were performed for the plasma samples collected from 98 cases of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and 156 normal subjects. The sensitivity and specificity of the 3 tests were analyzed. The plasma samples from 8 cases of suspected myocardial infarction were detected using modified plasma protamine paracoagulation for diagnostic purpose.

RESULTSThe sensitivity of plasma protamine paracoagulation, modified plasma protamine paracoagulation and D-D tests was 16.33%, 88.76% and 77.56%, and the specificity was 100%, 88.46% and 97.44%, respectively. Positive results occurred earlier in modified plasma protamine paracoagulation test than in plasma protamine paracoagulation and D-D tests in 5 cases of myocardial infarction.

CONCLUSIONThe modified plasma protamine paracoagulation test has a higher sensitivity than plasma protamine paracoagulation test and a higher specificity than D-D test, and can be helpful in early diagnosis of thrombosis and fibrinolysis.
