AIM: Research report that bone marrow stem cells mobilized by recombinan human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) can migrate to lesion spot of infarction, thus decrease brain edema and brain injury after cerebral ischemia. But the report about the effect of drug on brain edema after cerebral hemorrhage is rare. This study investigated the effects of bone mar- row stem cells mobilized by rhG-CSF on reducing formation of brain edema and downregulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in the peripheral area after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. METHODS:The experiments were performed at the Central Laboratory of Luzhou Medical College from March to November in 2006. ① 144 healthy male SD rats, (300?20)g, were provided by Animal Department of Luzhou Medical College. The experimental procedures of disposing animals were accorded with ethical standards. ②Experimental rats were assigned randomly into a sham operation group, a ICH group and a treatment group, equally. According to the method of Yang, rat models of ICH were made by the method cutting off tail of rat to obtain autoblood in the ICH and treatment groups. Rats in the sham operation group received saline instead of autoblood. Rats in the treatment group were administered with rhG-CSF (60 ?g/kg) by intrap- eritoneal injection after 1 hour. ③The water contents and MMP-9 were measured in each group by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS:Of 144 rats, 16 rats dropped out, among which 7 rats were estimated as 0 grade and 9 rats died, and all were supple- mented. ①The water contents were higher in the ICH group than in the sham operation group (P

BACKGROUND: Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) can mobilize endothelial progenitor cells and enhance new vessels at cerebral ischemia region. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of rhG-CSF on the new microvascular expressions in rat perihematoma after intracerebral hemorrhage. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized control animal experiment was performed at the Central Laboratory of Luzhou Medical College from March to November 2006. MATERIALS: A total of 72 healthy male Sprague Dawley rats and rhG-CSF were used for this study. METHODS: Seventy-two rats were equally and randomly assigned into the sham operation group, the hemorrhage group, the treatment group. According to rat brain stereotaxic atlas, models of intracerebral hemorrhage were made by infusing autoblood from rat tails. Rats in the sham operation group were infused with saline instead of autoblood. Rats in the treatment group were administered rhG-CSF (60 ?g/kg) by intraperitoneal injection at 1 hour after operation. Rats in the sham operation and hemorrhage groups were left intact. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The microvascular expressions of CD34+ in perihematoma were detected at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours, 7 days; Four rats in each time point. Microvascular production was measured by changes in CD34. The more the CD34 antigens, the more the new vessels were. RESULTS: In the hemorrhage group, the microvascular expressions of CD34+ were significantly higher compared to the sham operation group (P 0.05). Significant differences were measured at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours (P

Objective To explore the clinical significance of the coagulation and fibrolysis parameters changes for the knowledge of complicated thrombosis after chemotherapy in malignant lymphomas. Methods Morning fasting anti-coagulation blood samples were taken to detect plasma prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB) and thrombin time (TT) with automatic coagulation analyzer in 71 hospitalized malignant lymphomas and 20 normal controls. The plasma D-dimer levels of the two groups were detected with immunoturbidimetry. Results The levels of plasma APTT, Fib and D-dimer in 71 malignant lynphomas were (30.44±1.43) s, (3.28±0.20) g/L, (297.05±56.59) μg/L respectively, which were significantly higher than those in normal controls at the levels of (23.72±0.76) s, (2.57±0.22) g/L, (94.50±26.07) μg/L respectively (P ＜0.05). The coagulation and fibrolysis parameters were of no statistic differences between the normal controls and lymphomas of stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P ＞0.05). The APTT and Fib levels in lymphomas of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ were higher than those in normal controls and lymphomas of stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P ＜0.05). There are 7 malignant lymphomas complicated venous thrombosis . Of the 7 cases, the FIB and D-dimer levels were higher than those of stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, furthermore the D-dimer levels were higher than those of stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ. Conclusion The abnormalities of coagulation and fibrolysis parameters occurred in malignant lymphomas with requirement of periodic monitoring. After chemotherapy, the lymphoma patients had a high incidence of venous thrombosis, which need early prevention for prolongation of the survival.
