Objective To investigate the effect of magnetic stimulation on astrocyte migration and its mech-anism. Methods Twenty-four adult, healthy Spragne-Dawley rats were injected with 0.5 μl of 1% ethidium bro-mide (EB) in the left side of the dorsal spinal cord funiculus at the T_(10-11) level to make a local spinal cord injury mod-el. They were then randomly divided into four groups and exposed to 30 pulses of magnetic stimulation at 1 Hz and the following intensities: O T (Group A);1.9x40% T (Group B); 1.9x80% T (Group C); 1.9x100% T (Group D). On the 14th day after stimulation, the rats were sacrificed and the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), microtubule associated protein-2 (MAP-2) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2) were detected, and the volume of holes in the injured area of the spinal cord was measured. Quantitative analysis of the GFAP, MAP-2 and ERK1/2 expression was performed using immunohistochemistry and an image anal-ysis system. Results The volume of holes in the injured area of the spinal cord decreased with increasing stimula tion intensity. In the reduced area of the holes, the expression of GFAP and ERK 1/2 could be seen, but not MAP-2. Significant differences were revealed in the expression of GFAP and ERK 1/2 among the four groups, but it was always significantly higher in the magnetic stimulation groups than in the controls. Conclusions After magnetic stimulation, astrocytes migrate into the injured spinal cord's holes. Astroeyte migration increases with increased mag-netic stimulation intensity, which may be associated with high expression of ERK 1/2.

Objective:To investigate the effects of U0126 of different doses on the ability of low frequency magnetic stimulation promoting astrocyte migration and to select suitable dose of U0126.Method:Twenty-four adult healthy SD rats were selected to receive Injection of 0.5ml of 1% ethidium bromide(EB) in PBS into the dorsal spinal cord funiculus on the left side at T10-11 level to make located spinal cord injury models and randomly divided into four groups.The four groups were exposed to magnetic stimulation(1Hz,1.52T.30pulses)at the following dose respectively:Omg/kg U0126(control group).0.1mg/kg U0126(low-dose group), 0.2mg/kg U0126(middle-dose group),0.4mg/kg U0126(high-dose group).On the day 14 after stimulation,the rats were sacrificed and the expressions of glial fibfillary acidic protein(GFAP),microtubule associated protein-2(MAP-2),extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2(ERg1/2)and the volume of holes were detected with immunohistochemistry.Quantitative analysis 0f the expressions of GFAP,MAP-2 and ERK1/2 were performed with the image analysis system.Result:With the increase of U0126 dose,the volume of hole increased on day 14(p<0.05).In the lesion area,the expressions of GFAP and ERK1/2 could be found,while MAP-2 could not.Significant differences were revealed in the expressions of GFAP、ERK1/2 among the four groups,it Was significantly lower in U0126 groups than that in control greup(P<0.05).while the middle-dose group had similar effect with the high-dose group(P>0.05).Conclusion:U0126 of different doses all could resupinate astrocyte migrations which were coused by low frequency magnetic stimulation,and 0.2mg/kg was the suitable dose.

Leveraging the centralized drug purchase platform of medical institutions in Beijing, the study measured the drug price index (DPI) and the DDD price index from 2005 to 2013, and the outcomes indicate a drop of both the drug price index and the drug price index calculated by DDD.Despite such drops however, drug price drop by itself could not curb the constant rise of drug expenses and medical costs due to changes in the structure and interval of drug administration.

Objective:To study the effects of an unique anti-inflammatory herbal preparation Zyflamend(ZF)on 7,12-dimethyl-benz anthracene (DMBA)-induced oral carcinogenesis in golden Syrian hamsters.Methods:10 hamsters were used as the blank controls.106 hamsters were treated topically on the left cheek pouch with 0.5% DMBA solution,3 times per week for 6 weeks. Then the hamsters in positive control group(n =40)were not treated afterwards,in the other 2 groups were treated by topically ap-plication of ZF of original solution(high dose,n =33)and 1 ∶1 dilution(low dose,n =33)respectively.Hamsters were sacrificed at the 24th week and tissue samples of the left cheek pouch were obtained for the examination of tumor incidence,histopathology and BrdU immunohistochemisty.Results:Gross inspection showed that the incidences of the tumor in positive,low dose and high dose groups were 86.7%,53.6%(P <0.01 )and 50.0%(P <0.01 ),histopathological examination showed that the tumor incidences were 86.7%,78.6% and 64.3%,respectively(P <0.05).High dose of ZF significantly decreased the incidence of hyperplasia , dysplasia and cancer(P <0.05);decreased BrdU-labeling index(P <0.05).Conclusion:Zyflamend may inhibit DMBA induced oral carcinogenesis and such prevention may be related to the effect of the suppression of cell proliferation.

Objective:To investigate the expression pattern of Mtsl/S100A4 in mouse spinal cord;to investigate the effects of Mtsl/S100A4 on glial cell responses.Method:The study was carried out on Mtsl/S100A4 wild type and knock-out mice.The degenerative spinal cord model was established by dorsal root or sciatic nerve injury.The de-myelinated spinal cord model was established by ethidium bromide injections.Then the expressions of S100A4,GFA P,NG2 and Mael were measured.Result:The expressions of Mtsl/S100A4 in mice spinal cord were similar to that in rats.In WT mice this protein expressed in a thin layer of fiber bundles in the tract of Lissauer,and in white matter astrocytes.There was intracellular up-regulation of Mtsl/S100A4 in white matter astrocytes of WT mice after dorsal root or sciatic nerve injury,with no difference in glial cell response between WT and KO mice.However,7 days after ethidium bromide injection,in WT mice,the astroglial reaction was restricted on operated side,where a distinct glial scar had formed.While in KO mice,no distinct glial scar formed in demyelinated area.Conclusion:Mtsl/S100A4 expression in mouse spinal cord is similar to the pattern as in rats;intracellular Mtsl/ S100A4 up-regulation does not affect glial responses in degenerative spinal cord;the presence of extracellular Mtsl/ S100A4,which entered the spinal cord after ethidium bromide induced demyelination,markedly affects the glial cell responses in demyelinative spinal cord,including glial scar formation.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a severe autosomal recessive disease which can cause irreversible damage to patients' neural system and results in severe mental retardation.Although the institution of a lowphenylalanine (Phe) diet has been a remarkable success in preventing the devastating damage associated with untreated PKU,there are always small but consistent gap in intelligence quotient (IQ) scores and executive functioning when compared to siblings or healthy age-related control groups.During the past few years,several types of new treatment strategies,such as genetic engineering,enzyme replacement,tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4),large neutral amino acids (LNAA),low-Phe diet and liver or liver cell transplantation therapies,have been studied and improved.This paper aims to introduce the research advances in pathogenesis of PKU,the treatment methods and the related molecular mechanism.

Objective To investigate the variation law of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values in patients with cerebral infarction, and to explore the relationship between the changes and the prognosis of cerebral infarct patients. Methods Sixteen patients with cerebral infarction were recruited and divided into 2 groups:good recovery and poor rehabilitation. ADC and FA values were calculated in infarct areas and control areas which were the regions with symmetrical position and the same area as infarct areas. The difference of ADC and FA values in patients at acute and earlier chronic stage between the two areas were analyzed. Results ①At acute stage, ADC values in infarct areas were lower than those in control areas (P<0.05). At early chronic stage, there was no significant difference of ADC values between infarct areas and control areas (P>0.05), moreover ADC values were higher than that at acute phase (P<0.05). ②FA values in infarct areas were lower than those in control areas at both acute and early chronic stage (P<0.05). At early chronic stage, FA values were lower than those at acute stage (P<0.05). ③There was no significant difference of ADC and FA values at both acute and early chronic stage between good recovery group compared with poor rehabilitation group (P>0.05). Conclusion There are certainly rules in changes of ADC and FA values in patients with cerebral infarction at acute and earlier chronic stage.

Objective To explore more satisfactory results in correcting the aesthetically short nose combined with low and blunt nasal tip by using autologous cartilage grafts.Methods External rhinoplasty approach was preferred.Nasal septal cartilage and auricular cartilage or rib cartilage of patients were adopted,as necessary,various shapes of grafts were carved,such as septal extention graft,columella strut and shift graft.Then we used these autologous cartilage grafts with suture and removal techniques to correct the aesthetically short nose combined with low and blunt nasal tip.The length of the nose (n-prn) and the projection of nasal tip (sn-prn) were measured before and after the operation.Paired t-test was adopted to evaluate the results.Results Thirty-one patients accepted the nasal tip rhinoplasty with autologous cartilage whose nasal tip was over rotation,blunt and low.All the patients were followed up for 3 months.Thirty patients satisfied with the results,accounting for 96.7 ％ of the total.()ne (3.3 ％) patient dissatisfied with the result because of postoperative asymmetry nostrils.Nose length before and after surgery was significantly different (P＜0.05).Nasal tip projection before and after surgery was also significantly improved (P＜0.05).Conclusions It is an effective method to use autologous cartilage graft for correcting the aesthetically short nose combined with low and blunt na sal tip,with low complications.

Background Primary conjunctival lymphoid hyperplasia exhibit atypical clinical symptoms and easy to cause misdiagnosis and mistreatment.Understanding the clinical characteristics of primary conjunctival lymphoid hyperplasia is of an important clinical significance.Objective This study was to analyze the clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcome of patients with primary conjunctival lymphoid hyperplasia.Methods The medical records of 20 patients with primary conjunctival lymphoid hyperplasia who was treated in Beijing Tongren Hospital from January 2012 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyed.The age,symptoms,therapy,prognosis,histopathological features and immonochemistry results were reviewed,and the treating approach targeting to different types of conjunctival lymphoid hyperplasia was evaluated.The fellow-up duration was 1-2 years.Results Age of the patients ranged from 27 to 83 years old.The lesions were classified as benign lymphocytic hyperplasia,atypical lymphoid hyperplasia and lymphoma.Majority of lesions located in fornix conjunctiva tissue (90％).Follicle-like appearance was seen in the benign lymphocytic hyperplasia,and pink elavation was exhibited at the bulbar conjunctiva in the atypical lymphoid hyperplasia.A diffuse salmon fish like appearance in conjunctiva was the primary feature of conjunctival lymphoma.Histopathological examination showed that conjunctival benign lymphocytic hyperplasia had follicle-like tissue in lesions,atypical lymphoid hyperplasia exhibited diffuse lymphocyte filtration,and conjunctival lymphoma appeared monocyte filtration.The 3 tpyes of lesions also could be differentiated by immunochemistry.The medicine was applied in the eyes with benign lymphocytic hyperplasia,and the combination of resection of lesions with conjunctival tissue or amniotic membrane transplantation was used for the atypical lymphoid hyperplasia or lymphoma eyes.No recurrence of the lesions was found during fellow-up duration.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of conjunctival lymphoid hyperplasia lesions are varied,and it is easy to be confused with chronic ocular surface diseases.Pathology and immunochemistry are helpful for the differential diagnosis.The treating regimen is dependent on the lesion type.Most patients have a favorable prognosis with treatment.
