Objective To investigate the potential role of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor-6(TRAF6)in the rat cerebral ischema-reperfusion injury.Methods 40 healthy adult SD rats were divided into 5 groups(n=8)according to the ran-dom control principle:sham operation group,ischemia group,reperfusion 2 h group(R2 h),reperfusion 12 h group(R12 h)and reperfusion 24 h group(R24 h).The rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model was constructed.The change of TRAF6 expres-sion was examined by RT-PCR and Western-blot.Then,the immunohistochemistry was adopted to locate the TRAF6 protein.Re-sults Compared with the sham group,the expression of TRAF6 in the ischemia group and the R2 h,R12 h and R 24 h groups was obviously increased,but the difference had no statistical significance (P <0.05).TRAF6 was mainly located in the cytoplasm of neuronal cells.Conclusion Activated TRAF6 is involved in the brain cell death induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective Investigate the expression difference of miRNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to explore new biomarkers for glioma diagnosis and evaluate the diagnostic value .Methods The candidate biomarkers in CSF were detected by using FQ-PCR for 20 cases of glioma patients and 20 cases of non-glioma patients(control group) .miRNAs with significant level changes in CSF sam-ples from patients with gliomas (n=20) compared with healthy volunteers (n=20) were screened out by using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test ,and the diagnostic values were evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic curves (ROC curves)and area under the curve(AUC) .Results MiR-128 and miR-21 were differentially expressed in CSF samples from patients with gliomas compared with control group .Expression of miR-21 in glioma is significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0 .05) ,while the expression of miR-128 in gliomas was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0 .05) .AUC was 0 .96 when using only miR-21 as the diagnostic biomarker ,and the sensitivity was 90% ,specificity was 95% .The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 100% when MiR-128 and miR-21 combined .Conclusion miR-128 and miR-21 are potential markers for gliomas diagnosis in the CSF .

Objective To investigate the effect of low molecular weight heparin on lipid parameters in hemodialysis patients. Methods The trial was double blind, open, controlled and randomized for one year. 35 pre-dialysis patients were divided into two groups: UFH(unfractionated heparin) group(n = 13) and LMWH(low molecular weight heparin ) group(n = 22), UFH or Fragmin according to individual dosage was infused to patients of two groups respectively. The level of serum lipid, lipoprotein, apolipoprotein and activity of lipase were measured at months 0, 6 and 12 of trial. Results Significant increases in serum concentrations of TG, LDL, VLDL, Lp(a) and apo-B were observed, whereas serum concentrations of HDL, apo-Al and activity of plasma LCAT or LDL were decreased in both groups before hemodialysis. As dialysis time went by, in LMWH group, activities of plasma LPL and LCAT elevated; TG concentration decreased; VLDL and LDL were not significantly different compared with that of pre-dialysis, but were statistically different in contrast to UFH group. Conclusion The long-term use of LMWH instead of conventional heparin for anticoagulation during dialysis has beneficial effects on the lipid profile, especially in patients with dyslipidemia.

Objective To study the effect of multiple IPL treatment on cell senescence markers of skin fibroblasts using UVA as a control and to make clear whether the multiple IPL treatment may result in cell senescence.Methods Cells were divided into three groups: one group without irradiation as a control,one group receiving IPL treatment with 15 J per cm2,and the last group receiving UVA irradiation with 9 J per cm2.IPL and UVA irradiation were performed once a day during five days.On the sixth day,the cells were collected.Senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) staining,cell cycle,reactive oxygen species (ROS) and telomere length were determined.Results Our results showed that five consecutive days of IPL irradiation had no effect on the activity of SA-β-Gal and telomere length and decreased the G1 % of cell cycle and the level of ROS in comparison with the control group (P<0.05).On the contrary,five consecutive days of UVA irradiation increased the activity of SA β Gal and the level of ROS,shortened the length of telomere and no obvious change in the G1 % of cell cycle in comparison with the control group.Conclusions Multiple UVA irradiations induce cell senescence.On the contrary,multiple IPL treatments could not induce cell senescence.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of hyaluric acid sodium injection and functional exercises on patients with comminuted fracture of tibia plateau after reposition. Methods 134 patients with comminuted fracture of tibia plateau after reposition were randomized into the observation group and the control group with 67 cases in each group. The observation group received 2ml of hyaluric acidsodium injection into the knee joint cavity with 1% lidocaine once a week and 3 times totally. At the same time active and passive functional exercises were applied. The control group was only given routine nursing. The knee function was evaluated by Lysholm Scale 4 months after operation and the results were compared. Results The score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion The hyaluric acid sodium injection and functional exercises could improve the healing of joint cartilage and contribute to the rehabilitation of joint function in patients with comminuted fracture of tibia plateau after reposition.

Objective:Dipeptidyl peptidase I(DPPI),a lysosomal cysteine protease for serine proteases activation,highly expressed in granule immune cells.This study used collagen induced arthritis(CIA) rat model to investigate the effects of Triperygium Wilfordii Polyglucoside(TWP) on DPPI activity and the pharmacological mechanism in RA treatment.Methods:Rats were divided into four groups randomly,the blank control group,the CIA model group,the high dose (5.0 mg/100 g body-weight) and low dose(2.5 mg/100 g body-weight)treatment group.Bovine collagen-Ⅱ plus complete Freund′s adjuvant injected twice in rats.Physical assessments were carried out.12 days post-injections,the rats of treatment group were intragastric administered with TWP every day.The rats were killed after two week administrations.Serum and synovial membrane homogenates were collected and DPPI activity was detected by fluorescence substrate.Joint HE staining and cell counting were carried out,Zymography was used to detect the MMP-2/9 activity in synovial fluids.Total protein in synovial membrane homogenates were measured by BCA method.Results:TWP could reduce the number of CIA synovial tissue mast cells,inhibited DPPI activity in the synovial fluids and in serum.The expression levels of MMP-2/9 activity and synovium total protein content were also reduced by TWP.Conclusion:Triperygium Wilfordii Polyglucoside has inhibitory effects on DPPI activity on CIA rats,which might be the one of the pharmacological mechanisms in RA treatment.

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
