Objective To investigate the effect of amyloid on the expression of kinesin superfamily(KIFs) genes in cortex of Wistar rats. Methods The animal model of Alzheimer's disease was prepared by injection of amyloid into brain ventricle of rats.The learning impairments were verified by water maze test.The levels of mRNA for six kinesin superfamily genes,kinesin,KIFlb,KIFlc,KIF3a,KIF3c,and KIF4,in cortex of rats,were estimated by real-time RT-PCR. Results Two weeks after amyloid injection,the rats showed significant learning impairments.In cortex,the expression of KIF genes was increased after amyloid injection.Conclusion\ The increase of KIF gene may be an evidence for the excitotoxity of amyloid to neurons.

The human sphincter of Oddi has been known for more than a century.The sphincter regulates periodic discharge of bile and pancreatic juice and their directional flow.Research on the sphincter is still inadequate,especially on how to accurately evaluate its function,dysfunction and effective treatment.In recent years,advances in anatomy,regulation and improvements in investigation have deepened our understanding of diagnosis and treatment of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. This paper summarizes the new developments in this field.

Extensive use of tributyltin (TBT) has caused serious environmental pollution, which is harmful to human and other organisms. As a cytotoxic chemical, an important mode for TBT effects on the cells is to induce apoptosis. The present paper mainly reviewed the mechanism by which TBT induces apoptosis at low concentration.

In mice, adriamycin (l7.5mg/kg, ip ) produced heart peroxida-tion abnormality including increased TBA value & decreased gluta-thione peroxidase activity, respectively. But the change of former was not parallel to the latter. The drug also produced early pathological change of the heart i.e. more D-PAS positiveness. The results suggested that the early heart pathological change produced by adriamycin may be related to increased accumulation of pero-xi dative products.

Objective To investigate the authors, the institution and endemic distribution of these authors of Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics, and understand the current situation and problems in the field of Orthopaedics. Methods The authors, the co-authors and the core authors of papers published in Chinese Journal of Orthopedics from 2005 to 2009 were quantitatively analyzed using literature search through CMCI.The distribution of institution, region and highly quantitative organization were also analyzed. Results The 1182 papers were published by the Journal within 5 years. There were 1108 papers with one or more co-authors; the cooperative rate and degree were 93.74% and 5.02, respectively. 74 papers were written by single author, which accounted for 6.26% of all papers. 615 authors (75.18% of all first authors) published only one paper. There were 295 (24.96%) papers from 67 (8.19%) core authors. 601 (50.85%) papers were from 20 high-productivity institutes. The top three high-productivity institutes were Tianjin hospital, Beijing Jishuitan hospital and Nanjing Drum Tower hospital of Nanjing University Medical School.

Authors of the Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics have a highly cooperative rate. There is a group of active and talented core authors who has a great influence on the journal. But the number of core authors and the papers published by core authors need to be expanded.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion in treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Methods 32 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism were selected and randomly divided into two groups:the observation group(16 cases) and the control group(16 cases). The patients in the observation group were treated with hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion, and in the control group, the patients were treated with conventional hemodialysis. Then the levels of serum phosphorus, serum calcium, serum intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH) and skin itching,and weakness and so on were compared. Results After treatment,the level of iPTH in the observation group decreased significantly(P ＜ 0.05) ,but in control group it decreased not obviously, and compared with it before treatment there was no significant difference. After treatment, in the two groups the level of serum phosphorus was significantly lower(P ＜0.05) ,and the level of serum calcium was significantly higher (P ＜ 0.05), and the level of serum phosphorus and iPTH had significant differences between the two groups (P ＜0. 05) ,while no significant difference in serum calcium. In the observation group,skin itching,muscle weakness and other symptoms were improved significantly compared with those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion in treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism was very effective.

Objective To observe the effect and safety of modified Yishen Zhuyang Huoxue Huazhuo Formula for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in the TCM pattern of deficiency of spleen and kidney with phlegm-dampness. Methods Totally 123 cases were recruited into this study and randomized to two groups by central random approach, 64 cases in the observation group and 59 cases in the control group. Patients in the observation group were given the modified Yishen Zhuyang Huoxue Huazhuo Formula, while those in the control group were given compound cyproterone acetate tablet, for two treatment courses, three months for one course. The changes of ovarian volume and the number of follicles before and after treatment were observed. Adverse reactions were also evaluated. Results Bilateral ovarian volumes in both groups decreased after treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the control group showed a significant better improvement (P<0.05). The number of follicles in the two groups decreased, but no significant difference were observed between the two groups (P>0.05). The rate of adverse reaction in the observation group was lower than the control group. Conclusion Modified Yishen Zhuyang Huoxue Huazhuo Formula is effective for PCOS patient by reducing the ovarian volume with a low incidence of side effect.
