Background Optic neuritis is closely associated with multiple sclerosis (MS).Its pathogenesis is uncompletely clear,and less basic researches are carried out at home and abroad. Objective This study was to reveal the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) in the optic nerve of rat with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) and to provide a theoretical evidence for the research of the relationship of optic neuritis with MS. Methods Fifty clean Wistar rats were randomized into the control group and immune 8,12,18 and 25 days groups.Myelencephalon was collected from 5 guinea pigs to prepare the homogenate and mixed with the isovolumetric complete Freud' s adjuvant (CFA).The 0.5 ml mixed antigen emulsifier was subcutancously injected into the 4 maps together with Bordetella pertussis 0.2 ml under the cutancous of dorsalis pedis at 0 and 48 hours to induce the EAE.Behavior of the rats was evaluated to score the neurological function.The optical nerve sections were prepared 8,12,18 and 25 days after immunology for the histopathological examination,and immunochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of MBP in optic nerve.The use of the animals complied with the Regulation for the Administration of Affairs Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission. Results The disorder of motor nerve was seen 12 days following the immune,and the clinical neural functional scores were significantly higher 12 day and peaked on 18 days myelination and then gradually reduced.The histopathological examination showed that the irregular alignment of neural fiber was found at 12 days,and changes of cellular structure,edema of neural shaft bunch were observed at 18 days.However,the abnormal cells were significantly less 25 days following the immune.Immunochemistry showed that the MBP was expressed mainly in the myelination of optic nerve fibers.The numbers of positive cells for MBP were (115.75±26.49)cells/5 fields at the 12th day,showing a significant lowing in comparison with (167.44±22.49)cells/5 fields of control group (t=4.537,P＜0.05 ).The positive cells were lest at the 18th day with the values ( 75.57 ± 34.54) cells/5 fields ( t =6.362,P＜0.01 ).At the 25th day,positive cells increased to ( 117.63 ± 13.78) cells/5 fields,which still was lower than those of the control group ( t =4.068,P＜0.05 ).Western blot assay illuminated that with the prolong of immune time,MBP/β-actin ratio in optic nerve was gradually reduced and followed the same pattern at the 12th day( t =4.639,P＜0.05 ).At 18 days after immune in comparison with the control group,the expression of MBP/β-actin ratio in optic nerve was the least (t=8.427,P＜0.01). Conclusions MBP can be degraded in rat optic nerve.This is a further evidence that optic neuritis is a severe demyelination disease.It is clearly related to MS.

Objective: Maxillary and mandible fractures are severe intermaxillary injuries,frequently involving other vital organs,and usually difficult to be treated.This study discusses the treatment of maxillary and mandible fractures.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 39 cases of maxillary fractures and/or mandible fractures.Results: Of the 39 cases,34 males,5 females and 84.64% aged from 20 to 50,87.17% were caused by vehicle accidents,and 94.87% were accompanied by injuries of other parts of the body.After surgical treatment,78.95% gained normal or basically normal ocular esthetic results and 68% achieved good or improved facial esthetic results.Conclusion: The results of treatment are closely related with the type and severity of fracture and the time and plan of treatment.Preoperative CT scanning and facial profile three-dimensional reconstruction are necessitated for a thorough evaluation of the fractures and an analysis of the causes and extent of facial and ocular changes.The best treatment plan for maxillary and/or mandible fractures would include anatomic reduction by surgery,intermaxillary elastic traction and rigid internal fixation with the Ti plate.

Objective: To search for a best method for management mandible fractures by evaluating the effects of different treatments.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 148 cases of mandible fractures treated in our department from January 1996 to June 2007.Results: Among the total number,134 cases were restored to normal occlusion,while 6 cases experienced local occlusive disfunction and 8 malocclusion.The effect of treatment was correlated with the types of fracture and methods of diaplasis.Conclusion: Mandible fractures should be treated with a new concept of combined and sequential multidisciplinary methods.Sound diaplasis followed by reliable fixation can produce a satisfying curative effect.At present,intermaxillary elastic traction with internal titanium plate fixation is the most effective method for the management of mandible fractures.

OBJECTIVE To study the analytic method for assaying of glutaral concentration by enzyme-labeled device at one time.METHODS Controlled solution of glutaral and sample solution were taken out and kept until the room temperature.Optical density value was detected at 450 nm.Content of sample was calculated by comparison with the known concentration of glutaral.RESULTS In the range of 0.75-2.50%,concentration of glutaral had linear relationship with the optical density value.Reproductive test:relative average error was within 2%,RSD≤2.51%;interference test:oxidation-resistant-sodium nitrite could make the result negative error.0.1% Sodium nitrite could make the test result decrease by 1.5% relatively.CONCLUSIONS The method is simple,fast and convenient,with accuracy which has met the requirement of hospital infection monitoring and acceptable interfering range made by additives,which is highly practical.

Objective To investigate the relation of contrast-enhanced ultrasound ( CEUS ) characteristics and microvessel density ( MVD ) in the breast cancer .Methods From October 2010 to February 2012, 45 cases of patients with breast cancer were studied in Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital , Affiliated to Qingdao University Medical College .All lesions were examined by CEUS before surgery .The blood perfusion parameters such as rising time (RT),peak intensity(PI),time to peak(TTP),wash-in slope (WIS) and mean transit time ( MTT) were obtained by time-intensity curve ( TIC).Immunohistochemical staining for anti-factor CD34 was performed on surgery specimen and the MVD was evaluated .The CEUS characteristics and blood perfusion parameters between different MVD groups of breast cancer were compared.Results In 45 cases of breast cancer,mean MVD was(47.6 ±14.2)/high power field(HPD). Twenty-one cases(46.7%) were classified as high MVD group(MVD>48/HPD) and 24 cases(53.3%) were classified as lower MVD group ( MVD≤48/HPD) .Besides two cases without contrast agent perfusion in CEUS imaging, blood perfusion was observed in 43 cases (95.6%).Heterogeneous enhancement was observed in 25 cases(55.6%).Local blood perfusion defect was observed in 27 cases(60.0%).Irregular shape was observed in 37 cases(82.2%).Centripetal enhancement was observed in 25 cases(55.6%). Penetrating surrounding vessels was observed in 32 cases(71.1%).Poorly-defined margin was observed in 34 cases(75.6%).Compared with the surrounding normal breast tissue ,RT and TTP of center region of neoplasms was shorter[(9.3 ±3.3)s vs (11.1 ±3.7)s and (25.3 ±5.9)s vs (27.5 ±6.4)s],PI was higher[(12.1 ±4.6)dB vs (9.2 ±2.8)dB],WIS was higher(1.0 ±0.4 vs 0.8 ±0.3) and differences were significant(t =-3.001, -4.785,6.987 and 5.438,all P <0.05).Compared with center region of neoplasms,TTP of periphery region of neoplasms was shorter [(22.2 ±6.0)s vs (25.3 ±5.9)s],PI was higher[(15.4 ±5.1)dB vs (12.1 ±4.6)dB],WIS was larger(1.3 ±0.5 vs 1.0 ±0.4) and differences were significant(t=-2.839,3.194 and 3.151,all P<0.05).The detection rate of blood perfusion defect and heterogeneous enhancement was higher in the high-MVD group than in the low-MVD group(χ2 =4.0179 and 7.2024,both P <0.05).While the enhancement shape,margin and penetrating vessels showed no statistical difference between the two groups .Breast neoplasms in the high-MVD group had higher PI than those in the low-MVD group[(18.2 ±5.6)dB vs (12.9 ±3.1)dB,t=-3.738,P<0.05].While the RT, TTP and WIS showed no statistical difference between the two groups ( t=-0.798,-0.760 and -0.378, all P>0.05).Conclusion CEUS characteristics of breast lesions were associated with MVD ,which may reflect the microvessel distributional characteristics of neoplasm and may be one of bases used to evaluate neoplasm angiogenesis .

[Objective] To investigate the expression of NF-κB and IL-lra in gastric cancer, and to explore their correlation with the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of gastric cancer (GC). [Methods] Expression of NF-κB and IL-1ra was detected by immunohistochemistry in tissue microarry of 359 cases of GC. [Results] The expression rates of NF-κB in the patients with metastasis of lymph node, TNM Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage, and poorly differentiated of histology were 80.2%, 80.0%, and 79.2%, respectively. The expression rates of IL-1ra in the patients with tumor size ≤3 cm, early stage, non-metastasis of lymph node, and TNM Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage were 61.7%, 75.0%, 66.4%, and 61.9%, respectively. The 5-year survival rate of the cases with non-expressed NF-κB was statistically higher than that of the cases with expressed NF-κB(P=0.036). The 5-year survival rate of the patients with negative expression of NF-κB and positive expression of IL-1ra was statistically higher than the others (P=0.021). [Conclusions] NF-κB is the adverse predictors of prognosis of gastric cancer. IL-1ra maybe play a protective role in early gastric cancer stage, but it is necessary to study deeply and get more evidences.

Objective To investigate the effects of human endostatin(hES)on ovarian cancer cells A2780 growth in vitro and in vivo and the possible mechanism.Methods The coding region for hES was amplified by PCR from human liver tissue and then subcloned into pcDNA3.1 vector.The growth rate of A2780 cells transfected with hES was observed.A2780 cells(1× 10~7/ml)were inoculated subcutaneously into 20 nude mice,and the mice were randomly divided into two groups:the hES-trans-fected group(group A,n=10)and the control group(group B,n=10).One month later,the size of subcutaneous tumor was measured,and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated.The specimens were stained with HE for the histological analysis.Cell apoptosis in ovarian neoplasm transplantation tissues was determined by flow cytometry.The expression of hES and Bcl-2 was detected by Western blot.Results The growth rate of the hES-transfected ovarian cancer cells A2780 was significantly decreased.In group A,growth of tumor in nude mice was significantly slowed as compared with group B(P<0.01),with the tumor inhibition rate being 74% in group A.The tumor necrosis was increased and the basophilia stain of nucleus decreased significantly in group A as compared with group B.The expression of hES was increased significantly,but that of Bcl-2 was decreased significantly in group A.Flow cytometry revealed that hES transfection could significantly incyease the apoptosis rate of tumor cells(P<0.05).Conclusion Transfection of hES could suppress the growth of ovarian cancer cells A2780 in vitro and in vivo,which may be related tO the promotion of apoptosis.
