BACKGROUND:Clinical studies have shown that early use of methylprednisolone can promote neurological functional recovery, reasonable initial dose, interval time and treatment duration are the key to the methylprednisolone treatment of acute spinal cord injury. OBJECTIVE:To observe the differential protein expression profile in spinal cord tissue after intrathecal injection of high-dose methylprednisolone was given in rat model of acute spinal cord injury. METHODS:Eight Sprague-Dawley rats were included in this study to establish acute spinal cord injury model and the models were randomly divided into two groups, receiving intrathecal injection of methylprednisolone 7.5 mg/kg at 0 and 8 hours after modeling. The injured spinal cord tissue was harvested after 24 hours of injection. The differentialy expressed proteins and nerve regeneration-related differential proteins in two groups were analyzed using isotope labeling and quantitative technical analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totaly 87 differentialy expressed proteins were identified in this study. Compared with 0 hour group, there were 43 up-regulated differential proteins and 44 down-regulated differential proteins in the 8-hour group. Eighteen differential proteins were related to neural regeneration, including 8 up-regulation proteins and 10 down-regulation proteins. OMgp as a potential neural axon growth inhibitory factor specificaly bound with NgR/P75/TROY/Lingo-1 to form receptor complexes and activated RhoA through the second messenger cAMP, thus inhibiting the colapse of axon growth cone. Folowing intrathecal injection of methylprednisolone for treatment of acute spinal cord injury in rats, differential proteins and nerve regeneration-related factors in spinal cord are identified and analyzed for protein database retrieval and protein function analysis, their expression may serve as the indicator of monitoring nerve regeneration after acute spinal cord injury.

BACKGROUND:Traditional cel transplantation tracer methods require histological analysis and identification in vitro, which limits the clinical application of stem cel transplantation. So it is urgent to establish an in vivo noninvasive and repeatable tracer method. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of SPIO and DAPI double labeling on survival and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from macaques. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were derived from bone marrow aspirates of healthy macaques using whole bone marrow adherence method. Then, the cel s were identified using flow cytometry detection. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were labeled using SPIO and DAPI. Fluorescent microscope was used to detect DAPI positive rate, and Prussian blue staining and transmission electron microscope were employed to measure SPIO positive rate. MTT assay was used to detect cel viability and proliferation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were successful y isolated from healthy macaques using the whole bone marrow adherence method, and the cel purity was up to 95.1%. SPIO and DAPI were both successful to label the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s with a positive rate of 95%-98%, but had no influence on cel viability and proliferation.

This paper introduced the concept of accumulation-dispersing method and its theoretical basis as well as clinical application in the treatment of gland diseases. With three diseases, which were the Sjogren’s syndrome, cystic hyperplasia of breast and benign prostatic hyperplasia, as clues, common characteristics from etiology, pathology and pathogenesis were elaborated from the anatomical features, pathological characteristics and meridian pathways for the gland diseases. The disease pathogenesis always belonged to“mass” and“knot” of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The detailed clinical applications were as follows. For the pattern of blood stasis, the treatment principle was to promote blood circulation and to resolve masses. For the pattern of phlegm, the treatment principle was to reduce phlegm and to resolve masses. For the pattern of heat, the treatment principle was to clear heat, to relieve toxin and to resolve masses. For patients of“tumor” or“phthisis”, the treatment principle was to strengthen vitalqi and to eliminate stagnation. Worm medicine should also be combined during accumulation-dispersing. This paper provided referential ideas and methods for TCM treatment of gland diseases.

Objective:To analyze the reasons for unplanned resection of soft tissue sarcomas and explore the treatment strategies for cancer surgery. Methods: The study included 105 patients with soft tissue sarcomas admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between October 2009 and December 2012. The average age of the patients was 52 years old. Among the patients, 65 were males and 40 were females. Up to 82 patients underwent planned resection (Group A) in our hospital, and 23 underwent unplanned resection (Group B) in other hospitals. Wide excision and radical resection were conducted in Group A, whereas extended resection was performed in Group B. General data, tumor location and size, resection margin, local recurrence and metastasis, and survival were statistically analyzed in the two groups. Results:The proportion attaining the margin of wide excision was obviously lower in Group A than in Group B (P<0.05). The 3-year survival rate was significantly higher in Group B than in Group A (P=0.001). Within an average follow-up of 18 months (3 months to 36 months) in Group B, 12 patients died, including 9 with tumor metastasis and 3 with other diseases. Within an average follow-up of 23 months (5 months to 36 months) in Group A, 15 patients died, including 12 with tumor metastasis and 3 with other diseases. Conclusion:Compared with planned surgical operation, unplanned resection of soft tissue sarcomas often leads to inadequate resection margin, which results in a high incidence of local recurrence and an increased mortality. Thus, clinicians should attempt to avoid unplanned resection of sarcomas.

Objective To construct a lentiviral vector of RNA interference (RNAi) of murine triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) gene and to explore the effect of TREM-1 on the inflammatory response caused by Bacteroides fragilis. Methods Four target sequences were selected according to murine TREM-1 mRNA sequence, and then 4 pairs of double-strand DNA oligo according to these target sequences and one pair of negative control double-strand DNA oligo were designed and synthesized. These fragments were subcloned into pGCSIL-GFP/Lenti plasmid. After being identified by PCR and sequencing, these plasmids were cotransfected into 293T cells to package lentiviral particles. The lentiviral vector particles were transfected into Raw 264. 7 cells and TREM-1 expression in the transfected cells was assayed by real-time PCR and ELISA. Different concentrations of Bacteroides fragilis lipopolysaccaride (LPS) were administered in the Raw264. 7 cells, and the cells were stimulated with LPS for 12 h. TREM-1 expression was determined by real-time PCR and ELISA at the time points. Results PCR and sequencing confirmed that lentiviral vectors had the correct structure and could express high titer of virus. After being transfected into Raw264. 7 cells, TREM-1 expression was knocked down significantly by all of these lentiviral vectors at both protein and mRNA levels, and the pGCSIL-GFP/Lenti-1 had the most efficient interference. TREM-1 was upregulated in the presence of Bacteroides fragilis LPS, and this increase was partly abrogated in the TREM-1 siRNA-treated cell models of endotoxemia, depending on the sequence. Conclusion The lentivirus RNAi vector of TREM-1 was constructed successfully. The lentivirus RNAi vector of TREM-1 can inhibit the expression of TREM-1 in the murine endotoxemia model caused by Bacteroides fragilis LPS.
