Objective: To compare the influences of retrorsine on hepatocytes proliferation in mice and rats after liver injury, so as to investigate the feasibility of using retrorsine for establishment of liver cell transplantation model in mice. Methods: Male mice and rats were pretreated with 2 injections of retrorsine (70 mg/kg for mice and 30 mg/kg for rats) (as retrorsine-treated group, n=30) at 2 weeks interval or saline (as non-treated group, n=30). A single injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4, 0. 5 mg/kg) was given to all animals 4 weeks after the final injection of retrorsine or saline. At 0(before administration), 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 15 d after CCl4 administration, the animals were sacrificed and their livers were subjected to H-E staining and Ki-67 antibody immunohistochemistry analysis to evaluate the pathological changes and hepatocyte proliferation. Results: The liver in rats treated with retrorsine displayed obvious megalocytosis, small bile duct hyperplasia, and small hepatocyte hyperplasia (forming nodule); no such changes were found in non-treated group. However, the liver in mice treated with retrorsine displayed hepatocyte degeneration and necrosis in the perivenous areas and the same was true to the liver in non-treated mice. Ki-67 immunohistochemistry analysis showed that in rats treated with retrorsine, the positive hepatocytes, mainly found in small hepatocyte nodules, were obviously less than those in control group 3 d after CCl4 administration(P<0.05). Ki-67 positive hepatocytes in mice treated with retrorsine were abundant and almost more than those in control group at all time points, especially 4 d after CCl4 administration(P<0.01), with the same changing tendency in both groups. Conclusion: Retrorsine can obviously inhibit hepatocyte proliferation after liver injury and is suitable for liver cell transplantation in rats, while it is the contrary in mice.

The feasibility of bone marrow stromal cells autologous transplantation for rabbit model of dilated cardiomyopathy induced by adriamycin was studied. Twenty rabbits received 2 mg/kg of adriamycin intravenously once a week for 8 weeks (total dose, 16 mg/kg) to induce the cardiomyopathy model with the monitoring of cardiac function by transthoracic echocardiography. Marrow stromal cells were isolated from cell-transplanted group rabbits and were culture-expanded on the 8th week. On the 10th week, cells were labeled with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and then injected into the myocardium of the same rabbits. The results showed that viable cells labeled with DAPI could be identified in myocardium at 2nd week after transplantation. Histological findings showed the injury of the myocardium around the injection site was relieved with less apoptosis and more expression of bcl-2. The echocardiography found the improvement of local tissue movement from (2.12+/-0.51) cm/s to (3.81+/-0.47) cm/s (P<0.05) around the inject site, but no improvement of heart function as whole. It was concluded bone marrow stromal cells transplantation for dilated cardiomyopathy was feasibe. The management of cells in vitro, the quantity and the pattern of the cells transplantation and the action mechanism still need further research.

OBJECTIVE: As a subtype membrane receptor of tumor necrosis factor alpha, not much is known about the link between the soluble TNF receptor-I and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. We hypothesized that the TNF receptor might play an important role in the inflammation in patients with OSAHS, moreover this study was undertakan to investigate the effects of multimodality therapies on its periphery blood level. METHOD: Seventy-seven adults with habitual snoring and mean age of 34.9 +/- 11 years old consented to participate in the study. All participants were studied with overnight polysomnography, physical examination and a blood crew at baseline. According to the severity of OSAHS, they were categorized into three groups and one control group. Moderate and severe OSAHS groups returned for a repeat test of polysomnography and a blood crew at 3 months after the ENT surgery or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). serum levels were measured by using an immunoluminometric assay kit. RESULT: (1) Compared with control non-OSAHS group, serum sTNF-R I levels prior to treatment in OSAHS groups were significantly greater, with a mean serum levels at (742 +/- 258 & 340 +/- 102) pg/ml (P < 0.05), respectively. (2) Plasma solube tumor necrosis factor receptor-I responsed sensitively to the effect of comprehensive therapies when we compared its prior treatment levels with post ones. (3) Analysis was used to assess the associations adjusting for age, gender, BMI and weight ,a positive assosiation were found between apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and sTNF-R I (r = 0.646, P < 0.01) a negative assosiation were found between lowest nadir oxygen saturation (LSaO2) and (r = 0.522, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION ln summary, independent of age, gender, BMI and weight ,our datas suggest a relationship can be found between the the severity of OSAHS and periphery blood level of soluble TNF receptor-I. Comprehensive therapies is effective in changing sTNF-R I. sTNF-R I may be recommended as a Inflammation factor of OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the effect of nalmefene on sufentanil and propofol anesthesia for abortion and its impact on BIS. Methods One hundred and twenty patients undergoing abortion patients were randomly divided into group A, B, C, and D (n = 30 each). Patients in group A and B received 0.2 μg/kg or 0.3 μg/kg sufentanil, respectively, followed with 1.5 mg/kg propofol for induction of anesthesia post-pretreatment with 0.2 μg/kg nalmefene. Patients in group C and D received induction of anesthesia as patients in group A and B. According to the BIS and fluctuation of hemodynamic , the amount of propofol was adjusted. If necessary, additional single intravenous injection of 0.5 mg/kg propofol. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) and respiratory rate (RR) in patient before injection (T1), the eyelash reflex (T2), dilatation (T3), curettage (T4) and surgery awake (T5) were detected. The additional amount of propofol , operation time , recovery time of surgery , the steward score of orientation recovery after 1min of surgery , body movement reaction , cough , respiratory depression , postoperative visual analog digital score (VAS) 15 min later were also recorded in each group. Results Compared with group A, propofol could reduce the intraoperative body movement reaction rate , with lower postoperative VAS in group B and group D (P <0.05, respectively), with no significant difference between group C and group A (P > 0.05). The rapid recovery, surgery within 1 min orientation recovery were higher in group B, C, D compared with group A (P <0.05). However, orientation recovery score in group D was higher than that in group B (P < 0.05); The respiratory depression and choking were higher in group A and B than those in group C , D (P < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion The doses of 0.2 μg/kg nalmefene can effectively antagonize the respiratory depression , delay recovery and other adverse reactions in painless which induced by sufentanil , and the dose of nalmefene in this study failed to enhance the effect of analgesic and change the BIS values.

Objective To study the changes of posterior corneal elevation with one-year follow-up by using Allegro Oculyzer anterior segment diagnostic system in patients who had undergone laser in situ keratomileusis with femtosecond laser (FS-LASIK) for myopia. Methods Ninety eyes of forty-five patients who had undergone FS-LASIK for myopia were included in our study . The spherical equivalent of ametropia was-10.63D to -1.63D. The preoperative and postoperative corneal tomography (including 1, 3, 6 and 12 month after operation ) were collected by Allegro Oculyzer in the posterior corneal elevation and the thickness at central corneal thinnest point of each eye were measured , and the differences of the posterior corneal elevation were calculated. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis. Results There were no statistically significant differences in the changes of posterior corneal elevation from the preoperative time to the any postoperative follow-up time (F = 1.50, P > 0.05). There were no statistically significant changes of the posterior corneal elevation from the 1st month to 12th month postoperatively (F = 1.47, P > 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the changes of thickness at central corneal thinnest point from the preoperative to the 12th month postoperative (F = 369.10, P <0.01). At postoperative time, the posterior corneal elevation was not correlated with several factors including spherical equivalent , ablation depth , residual bed thickness, ablation percentage per total corneal thickness and (corneal flap thickness + ablation depth) /thinnest point preoperative corneal thickness (P > 0.05). Conclusion After strictly followed surgical indications in FS-LASIK, the posterior corneal elevation can keep good stability and has no significant change. Thickness of central cornea thinnest point increases gradually and tends to stablity at the 3th months after surgery.
