Objective To measure the organ weight and body weight of outbred Wuzhishan mini-pigs (WZSP), and calculate the organ coefficient and the linear and multiple linear regression equations between body weight and major organ weights. Methods 30 common WZSP (16 males and 14 females) were chosen,the body weight and 7 organ weights were determined, and the organ coefficients were calculated. The organ coefficients between males and females were compared. The correlation and regression analysis was performed using the SAS software. Results The coefficient of heart had remarkably significant difference between males and females (P<0.05).The linear analysis showed that there were apparent linear correlations between body weight and all the organ weights except for the stomach of males and the lung of females.The weights of liver and kidney showed great influence on the body weight of males, while the body weight of females relied on the weights of heart, liver and kidney greatly. Conclusion Differences of organ coefficients are not significant between males and females,and there are linear relationships between body weight and some major organ weights.

RhoA, a small GTPase, is involved in a wide array of cellular functions in the central nervous system, such as cell motility, cytoskeleton rearrangement, transcriptional regulation, phagocytosis and cell growth. It is not known how spinal cord injury (SCI) affects the expression of RhoA in different nerve cells. In the present study, we investigated the changes of RhoA expression in remote areas of the injury at the 3rd, 7th and 30th day after SCI, which was established by T10 contusion method. Moreover, we examine its expression profile in neurons, astrocytes and microglia. RhoA was found to be weakly expressed in these nerve cells in normal spinal cord. Western blotting showed that, after SCI, the total RhoA expression was up-regulated, and the RhoA expression was increased and peaked at the 7th day. Double immunostaining revealed specific and temporal expression patterns of RhoA in different nerve cells. The expression of RhoA in neurons started to increase at day 3, peaked at day 7 and then decreased slightly at day 30. Expression of RhoA in astrocytes increased moderately after SCI and peaked at day 7. There was no obvious change in RhoA expression in microglia after SCI in remote areas. This study demonstrated that, after SCI, RhoA expression exhibited different patterns with different nerve cells of spinal cord. RhoA expression patterns also changed with time after SCI, and among different nerve cells in the injured spinal cord. These findings can help us better understand the roles of RhoA in SCI.
