Cell transplantation has great potentials in repairing damaged tissue.If we want to use the cell transplants to treat diseases that respond poorly to the conventional treatment,or provide better treatments,in vivo dynamic tracking is particularly important.The application of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) improves a common inconvenience of the current invasive tests including immunohistochemical study or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study and so on.Researchers has established a variety of preparation methods of the particles,groped the optimal condition of cell marking.SPIO were proved to be feasible and superior in cell tracking in vivo through animal experiments.The results provide the reliable means of using SPIO to track cell in clinical treatments.This review gives a summary of the related study.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of vertigo associated with changes of head position.Methods 112 patients of vertigo associated with changes of head position were analyzed from June 2006 to December 2007 through the positional tests and imaging examination.Results 45 men and 67 women from ages 12 to 75 (median 50) were included with a total of 112 patients.88 patients were diagnosed as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV),76 patients as posterior semicircular canals BPPV,9 patients as horizontal semicircular canal BPPV,3 patients as anterior semicircular canals BPPV,9 patients as suspicious BPPV.They were treated by canalith repositioning procedure,the total improvement rate was 96.9% after 1 week.15 cases of cervical vertigo were treated by physical therapy and medication,the vertigo of 4 patients disappeared and of 11 patients was improved significantly after 2 weeks.Conclusion The positional tests and cervical plain x-ray are the simplest ways to diagnose vertigo associated with changes of head position.Physical therapy and medication are effective.It is suitable to promote in the grass-roots hospitals.

By using electron microscopy, the paranodal region and axo-glial junction were examined in optic nerves of rats aged 14 days. The paranodal region was characterized in longitudinal sections by the sequential termination of the myelin lamellae, beginning proximally with the innermost and ending, at the Ranvier node, with the outermost lamella. The termination of each lamella was accom- panied by a separation of the major dense line of the compact myelin and the consequent formation of a "loop" of glial cytoplasm. Each paranodal loop inde- nted the axonal surface as it became junctionally apposed to the axolemma. The periaxonal extracellular space, 10-20nm in width in the internodal region and reduced at the paranodal junction to approximately 3nm, forming an axo-glial junction, which was thought to be held together by dense structure. The parano- dal junction seems to serve strong adhesion between the apposed axonal and glial membranes. Conduction of the nerve impulses in myelinated axons was saltatory. Axons and sheath cells probably maintain vital communication with one another, presumably at the paranodal junctional complex. This communication was viewed as vital to the stability and maintenance of myelin. We found some clear vesi- cles in axoplasm near the Ranvier node and speculated that there were endocyto- sis and exocytosis in paranodal region. This was a direct morphological evidence supporting metabolic coupling between axons and sheeth cells.

AIM:To study the protective effect and mechanism of Gujingdan(Radix Astragali,Fructus Alpiniae oxyphyllae,Radix et Rhizoma Salviae miltiorrhizae,Herba Epimedii,Semen Euryales,etc.) on the acute renal injury caused by Gentamicin in rats.METHODS:90 rats were randomly divided into normal control group,pathologic model group,preventive group which included high,middle and low dosages of Gujingdan(4 g/kg,2 g/kg,1 g/kg) and positive control group which was treated with Shenkangning(2 g/kg) and treated group which included the same groups as the preventive group.The preventive groups were respectively given Gujingdan and Shenkangning for two weeks and ahead one week.On the seventh day,except the normal group the others were continuously injected gentamicin by abdominal cavity(100 mg/kg/day) seven days.At the same time,the treated group were given Gujingdan and Shenkangning by ig for seven days.When the experiment was over,the content of ?-N-acetyglocosamidase(NAG),serum creatinine(SCR) and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) were examined,and the renal histological changes were observed.RESULTS:NAG,BUN,SCR of the groups which were treated with Gujingdan were remarkly lower than that of the pathologic model group;SOD、ATP were higher and MDA was lower than that of the model group.Histological changes showed that renal tubular epithelial cells of the groups treated with Gujingdan were similar to the changes of normal group and much better than that of positive group and pathologic model group.CONCLUSION:Gujingdan has the protective effect on acute renal injury caused by Gentamicin.The mechanism may be that Gujingdan has the function of inhibiting oxidation,protecting and stabilizing cell membrane.

Objective To investigate the short-term and long-term effect of motor imagery training on visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery of athletes.Methods Twenty athletes majoring in the sports training of Capital University of Physical Education were selected into the experimental group,while 20 counterparts majoring in the human kinetic science were selected into the control group.All subjects received motor imagery training,and were assessed their visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery at three before the training,as well as ten minutes and 48 hours after the training.Results The repetitive measurement and analysis of variance showed that the visual imagery and kinesthetic imagery scores had the main effect of time factor [FvI (2,37)=7.57,P＜0.01;FK1 (2,37)=ll.75,P＜0.01)],as the scores were the highest at ten minutes after training,the second highest at 48 hours after training and the lowest before training.The visual imaginary scores increased significantly after the training,but had no significant difference 48 hours after the training compared to that before the training.After the training the kinesthetic imagery scores increased significantly and then declined slowly,and there were significant differences in the score before and 48 hours after the training (P=0.009).The experimental group and the control group had the same change trend in the visual and kinesthetic imagery scores.The average scores of the former group were higher than the latter at the same time points but without significant differences.The visual and kinesthetic imagery scores had no main effect of group factor,and there was no interaction effect of time factor and group factor.Conclusion Motor imagery training could increase the ability of visual and kinesthetic imagery of people never participating in motor imagery training and the short-term effect was more obvious.The long term effect of motor imagery training was more significant on kinesthetic imagery than visual imagery.

Infectious disease hospitals are obliged to cope with public health emergencies such as outbreak of infectious diseases.Such hospitals are required to make early detection,early containment,proper management,reasonable preplans,timely training,targeted drills,reasonable deployment of hospital resources,appropriate protection for hospital staff.General hospitals should also cope with prevention and control of infectious diseases to some extent,and work with infectious disease hospitals hand in hand to better cope with such outbreaks.
