Objective To investigate the effects of cadmium on bone loss in ovariectomized rats. Methods Female Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6 months, were divided to 5 groups, i.e. sham operation group (sh) , control group (ovariectomy 0 mg/L Cd), low dose group (ovariectomy+50 mg/L Cd), medium dose group (ovariectomy+100 mg/L Cd), high dose group (ovariectomy+200 mg/L Cd). Cadmium was administrated via drinking water. After 24- week exposure, the following indices were measured, bone mineral density (BMD) at the femurs necks, serum estradiol, urinary and blood cadmium, urinary ? 2-MG, bone calcium and cadmium, and calcium contents in feces and urine. Results Estradiol and BMD significantly declined in the ovariectomized rats. Cadmium administration aggravated the declines of BMD in a dose-effect pattern. Urinary ? 2-MG, the excretions of calcium in feces and urine were significantly higher in cadmium-exposed groups in a dose-effects pattern. And bone calcium was also significantly lower in the group exposed to 200 mg/L cadmium than in the control group. Conclusion It is indicated that cadmium could increase bone loss and decrease BMD in ovariectomized rats by increasing the excretions of calcium in feces and urine.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to explore the effect of the up-regulation of Notch1 on osteoclastogenesis induced to osteoclasts by receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factors (MCSF) in vitro.

METHODSThe bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) of Rosa(-notch1) mice were cultured and induced to osteoclasts by RANKL and MCSF. The BMSCs were transfected with the Ad-Cre-green fluorescent protein (GFP) virus or Ad-GFP virus. Total RNA from cells was extracted, and the gene expression levels of Notch1, Notch2, Notch3, Notch4, Deltal, Delta3, Delta4, Jagged1, Hes1, and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) were detected at the defined stage by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Osteoclast formation was analyzed by TRAP assay.

RESULTSThe number of TRAP-positive multinuclear cells of the experimental group significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. The mRNA expression levels of Notch1, Notch3, Jagged1, Delta3, and Hesl of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group, whereas the TRAP mRNA expression of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONUp-regulation of Notch1 inhibit osteoclastogenesis of BMSCs induced by RANKL and MCSF in vitro.

BACKGROUND:Denis B thoracolumbar burst fractures are common spinal injury and may be involved in the upper end plate injury. Fracture reduction and pedicle screw fixation are used to repair above injury. This scheme can effectively achieve the aim of correcting deformity, but the trabecular bone after crushing cannot be fuly recovered. OBJECTIVE:To observe the repair effect of fracture reduction and pedicle screw fixation + artificial bone graft in vertebral body on Denis B thoracolumbar burst fracture, and compare with fracture reduction and pedicle screw fixation alone. METHODS:Clinical data of 70 cases of Denis B thoracolumbar burst fractures, who were treated in the Department of Orthopedics, Zhangjiagang Aoyang Hospital from January 2012 to December 2014, were retrospectively analyzed. According to repair scheme, they were equaly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group received fracture reduction and pedicle screw fixation. Patients in the observation group received fracture reduction and pedicle screw fixation + artificial bone graft in vertebral body. Oswsetry Disability Index, height of anterior border of injured vertebral body, lower back pain visual analogue scale and vertebral kyphosis Cobb’s angle were compared and observed between the two groups before repair, 1 week, 3 and 6 months after repair. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No significant difference in Visual Analogue Scale was detected at 1 week, 3 and 6 months after repair between the observation and control groups (P > 0.05). Oswsetry Disability Index was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in the height of anterior border of injured vertebral body was detected between the observation and control groups (P > 0.05). Cobb’s angle was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that fracture reduction and pedicle screw fixation + artificial bone graft in vertebral body obtained good repair effects on Denis B thoracolumbar burst fracture, not only effectively corrected Cobb’s angle and the height of anterior border of injured vertebral body, but also helped to restore normal spinal loads by filing bone in the injured vertebral body.

Objective To investigate perioperative nursing of respiratory system in severe scoliosis patients.Methods 26 severe scoliosis patients with respiratory function training before operation were retrospected.All of them tested pulmonary function before and after training,postoperative respiratory system nursing were also taken to maintain airway unobstructed,including respiratory rate and oxygen saturation monitoring,effective pain management and respiratory complications controlling.Results The average forced vital capacity(FVC)was 45.9%and 52.1%before and after breathing exercises,the mean forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)was 43.8%and 48.8%before and after breathing exercises,with lung function improvement in 69.2%patients. There were two hemopneumothorax and three mild or moderate pleural effusion occurred within 10 days after surgery,but all recovered after effective treatment and nursing.Conclusions Perioperative systematic and effective training in respiratory function and airway management can improve lung function and surgical safety,reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications,and promote early rehabilitation .

Using the field sampling and indoor soil cultivation methods, the dynamic of ginseng rhizosphere soil microbial activity and biomass with three cultivated ages was studied to provide a theory basis for illustrating mechanism of continuous cropping obstacles of ginseng. The results showed that ginseng rhizosphere soil microbial activity and biomass accumulation were inhibited observably by growing time. The soil respiration, soil cellulose decomposition and soil nitrification of ginseng rhizosphere soil microorganism were inhibited significantly (P <0.05), in contrast to the control soil uncultivated ginseng (R0). And the inhibition was gradual augmentation with the number of growing years. The soil microbial activity of 3a ginseng soil (R3) was the lowest, and its activity of soil respiration, soil cellulose decomposition, soil ammonification and soil nitrification was lower than that in R0 with 56.31%, 86.71% and 90. 53% , respectively. The soil ammonification of ginseng rhizosphere soil microbial was significantly promoted compared with R0. The promotion was improved during the early growing time, while the promotion was decreased with the number of growing years. The soil ammonification of R1, R2 and R3 were lower than that in R0 with 32.43%, 80.54% and 66.64% separately. The SMB-C and SMB-N in ginseng rhizosphere soil had a decreased tendency with the number of growing years. The SMB-C difference among 3 cultivated ages was significant, while the SMB-N was not. The SMB of R3 was the lowest. Compared with R0, the SMB-C and the SMB-N were significantly reduced 77.30% and 69.36%. It was considered by integrated analysis that the leading factor of continuous cropping obstacle in ginseng was the changes of the rhizosphere soil microbial species, number and activity as well as the micro-ecological imbalance of rhizosphere soil caused by the accumulation of ginseng rhizosphere secretions.
