This study examined the neuroprotective effect of cluster of differentiation molecule 200 (CD200) against methamphetamine (METH)-induced neurotoxicity. In the in vitro experiment, neuron-microglia cultures were treated with METH (20 μmol/L), METH (20 μmol/L)+CD200-Fc (10 μg/mL) or CD200-Fc (10 μg/mL). Those untreated served as control. Microglia activation expressed as the ratio of MHC-II/CD11b was assessed by flow cytometry. The cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α) secreted by activated microglia were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In the in vivo experiment, 40 SD rats were divided into control, METH, METH+CD200-Fc and CD200-Fc groups at random. Rats were intraperitoneally injected with METH (15 mg/kg 8 times at 12 h interval) in METH group, with METH (administered as the same dose and time as the METH group) and CD200-Fc (1 mg/kg at day 0, 2, 4 after METH injection) in METH+CD200-Fc group, with CD200-Fc (1 mg/kg injected as the same time as the METH+CD200-Fc group) or with physiological saline solution in the control group. The level of striatal dopamine (DA) in rats was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The microglial cells were immunohistochemically detected for the expression of Iba-1, a marker for microglial activation. The results showed that METH could increase the microglia activation in the neuron-microglia cultures and elevate the secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α, which could be attenuated by CD200-Fc. Moreover, CD200-Fc could partially reverse the striatal DA depletion induced by METH and reduce the number of activated microglia, i.e. Iba-1-positive cells. It was concluded that CD200 may have neuroprotective effects against METH-induced neurotoxicity by inhibiting microglial activation and reversing DA depletion in striatum.

Objective To compare the efficacy of small splint fixation and plaster fixation in treating distal radius fracture. Methods One hundred and four cases of type A2 distal radius fracture admitted from January of 2012 to May of 2013 were randomly divided into small splint fixation group and plaster fixation group. After reduction, patients in the two groups were fixed with small splint and plaster separately. Wrist function scores, 36-item Short Form ( SF-36) scores and roentgenographic scores were evaluated for the two groups at different time points. Results ( 1) Within 3 months of follow up, the improvement of wrist function in small splint fixation group was significantly superior to that in plaster fixation group (P<0.05), and the differences of wrist function scores were insignificant between the two groups with the prolongation of follow-up (P>0.05). (2) SF-36 scores of the two groups were gradually increased along with the follow up. After follow-up for one week, 2 weeks, one month and 3 months, the SF-36 scores in small splint fixation group were significantly higher than that in plaster fixation group ( P<0.05) , but there was no significant difference after 6 months ( P>0.05). ( 3) After follow up for one year, the excellent rate for roentgenographic scores was higher than 80% in both groups, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both small splint fixation and plaster fixation have satisfacory efficacy in treating type A2 distal radius fracture. But during the therapeutic process, wrist function scores and life quality scores in the small splint fixation group were higher than those in the plaster fixation group.
