Nogo receptor is specific inhibiting factor conjuncted with myelin of central nervous system(CNS).After spinal cord injury,oligodendroglial cell and Nogo-A released from myelin inside cells inhibited the axonal regeneration.To analyze the intervention for Nogo receptor through molecule outside cell,information inside cell and gene,make clearing the inhibiting action of myelin-associated inhibiting factor-1,provide new thoughts and methods about axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury.

Objective To study X-ray and CT methods of diagnosis of unilateral dislocation of the lower cervical vertebra(C_(3～7)).Methods 15 cases of the injury of unilateral dislocation of the lower cervical vertebra were reviewed from August 2002 to June 2008,X-ray and CT findings were observed.Results Lateral projection of X-ray showed:the anterior displacement of dislocated vertebra was less than 25% in 15 cases,the distance of posterior border of lateral mass of below vertebral body to line of neural scute changed rapidly in 13 cases,sign of "bow tie" of processus articularis superior in 12 cases.Antero-posterior projection showed that spinal process was lateral deviation.Oblique projection showed that intervertebral joints were dislocation or interlocking. CT showed:the "hamburger" sign were destroyed in 7 cases,fracture of unilateral articular process in 8 cases,rotation of vertebral body of dislocation and its superior vertebral body in 13 cases, "double ring" sign in 12 cases.Conclusion The signs of X-ray and CT in combination with the mechanism of injury and clinical situation,the unilateral dislocation of the lower cervical vertebra can be diagnosed accurately.

Objective To study the influence of bleeding after using low molecular weight heparin （LMWH） to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with thoracolumbar spinal bursting fracture and spinal cord injury operated by rear internal fixation. Methods 120 cases were divided into the observation group (64 cases) and control group (56 cases). The observation group accepted hypodermic injection of LMWH to prevent DVT, while the control group did not. Results The volume of bleeding and blood transfusion, the change of red blood cell count (RBC) and hemoglobin were compared between two groups before and after operation. There is no statistical significance. Conclusion During the period of the operation of rear internal fixation, low molecular weight heparin cannot increase the bleeding and is safe to prevent deep vein thrombosis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the cardiopulmonary exercise capacity in patients with essential hypertension (EH) complicating with or without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

METHODSGraded maximal exercise test on the bicycle ergometer with respiratory gas analysis were performed in 30 gender and age matched normotensive controls, 40 EH patients without LVH and 30 EH patients with LVH (LVMI>125 g/m2 in males and > 120 g/m2 in females). Metabolic equivalents (METs), oxygen uptake (VO2), oxygen uptake to body mass ratio (VO2/kg) and oxygen uptake to heart beat ratio (VO2/HR) at time of reaching anaerobic threshold (AT) and at maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) were measured and compared.

RESULTSMETs and VO2/kg were significantly reduced in EH patients with or without LVH compared with controls [at AT, METs: 3.57 +/- 0.8 and 4.34 +/- 1.47 vs. 5.21 +/- 1.45; VO2/kg: 12.38 +/- 2.85 and 14.42 +/- 4.33 vs. 18.48 +/- 4.52, all P < 0.01; at VO2max, METs: 4.94 +/- 1.24 and 5.90 +/- 1.51 vs. 6.96 +/- 1.85; VO(2)/kg: (17.20 +/- 4.34) mlxmin(-1)xkg(-1) and (20.41 +/- 4.59) mlxmin(-1)xkg(-1) vs. (24.04 +/- 5.21) mlxmin(-1)xkg(-1), all P < 0.01]. METs and VO2/kg at both time points were also significantly reduced in EH patients with LVH compared EH patients without LVH (all P < 0.05). The lower VO2/kg in hypertensive patients was significantly correlated to higher LVMI (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSCardiopulmonary exercise capacity was reduced in hypertensive patients, especially in hypertensive patients with LVH.

OBJECTIVE: To understand the forensic practice of DNA profiling from minimal amount of DNA. METHODS: Serial dilutions of DNA were amplified with the PowerPlex 16 System Kit, then the genotyping of short tandem repeat(STR) was performed by ABI 377 DNA automated Sequencer. RESULTS: When the mount of DNA template was less than 250 pg, allelic drop-out apparently occurred at several loci. Other disturbed peaks, such as artefact bands and imbalanced heterozygote, also presented. CONCLUSION The anomalous results may result in incorrect genotyping. Careful and comprehensive considerations are needed to interpret the STR profile of minute DNA.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect and mechanisms of luteolin-7-O-β-d-glucuronide (LGU) on oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced H9C2 cardiomyocytes injury. METH-ODS The protective effect of LGU on OGD-induced H9C2 cardiomyocytes death were investigated by MTT assay. The microfilament change of H9C2 cardiomyocytes was detected by phalloidin staining and the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage rate was also detected by LDH kit. In order to explore the possible mechanisms of LGU, ATP content, intracellular Ca2+fluorescent intensity and concentra-tion, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)and the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by ATP kit,CLSM(Fluo-3/AM probe),Ca2+kit,CLSM(JC-1 probe)and western blotting meth-od, respectively. RESULTS The inhibition of H9C2 cardiomyocyte survival rate inducedby OGD was improvedby pretreated with LGU in a concentrationdependent manner. The microfilaments injury as well as the increase of LDH leakage rate were also improvedby pretreated with LGU.The ATP content was significantly decreased,intracellular Ca2+fluorescent intensity and concentration were significantly increased and the MMP was significantly decreased 4 hafter OGD. LGU significantly reversed the de-crease of intracellular ATP content,the increase of Ca2+fluorescent intensity and concentration and the decrease of MMP.The release of cytochrome C,the expressionsof caspase-9 and caspase-3 in H9C2 cardiomyocytes were increased 16 h after OGD.LGUsignificantly inhibited the changes of these apop-tosis-related proteins. CONCLUSION LGU has a significant protective effect against OGD-induced H9C2 cardiomyocytes injury through inhibiting calcium overload,increasing ATP content,improving mi-tochondrial function and inhibiting apoptosis.
