2.Raloxifene combined with calcium phosphate cement for repair of rabbit mandibular defects
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(25):3993-3997
BACKGROUND:Raloxifene is the third generation of selective estrogen receptor modulators, which can decrease bone loss, increase bone mineral content, and reduce fracture risk. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of raloxifene combined with self-setting calcium phosphate cement on the repair of rabbit mandibular defects. METHODS:Totaly 36 New Zealand white rabbits were selected to prepare 8 mm×4 mm×3 mm mandibular defect models, and then randomized equaly into experimental group (raloxifene, 7.5 mg/kg per day, combined with self-setting calcium phosphate cement), drug group (raloxifene, 7.5 mg/kg per day), artificial bone group (self-setting calcium phosphate cement). Rabbits were sacrificed 4, 8 and 12 weeks later, respectively, for measurement of bone morphogenetic protein 2 using immunohistochemistry method and transforming growth factor β using a laser scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 4 and 8 weeks, the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 was obviously higher in the experimental group than the drug and artificial bone groups; after 12 weeks, bone remodeling was basicaly complete in the experimental group, and the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 became lower than that in the other two groups. The expression of transforming growth factor β in the experimental group was gradualy increased and reached the peak at 8 weeks, while in the drug and artificial bone groups, the expression of transforming growth factor β exhibited an increasing trend within 4-12 weeks, which was close to the peak. These findings suggest that raloxifene can promote early expression of bone morphogenetic proteins and early calus formation as wel as accelerate the repair of bone defects with calcium phosphate cement.

BACKGROUND: Magnetic therapy has a long history and is used in the treatment of various diseases. To study the protective function of constant magnetic field for ischemic cerebrovascular diseases may provide new clinical foundation for non-medicinal and non-traumatic treatment and develop a novel way for treatment with physical factor.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of constant magnetic field treatment on hemodynamics at macroscopic level, RBC membrane fluidity at subcellular level and antioxidase activity at molecular level, as well as NO and NO synthetase activity in rats with ischemic-reperfusion (IR) injury.DESIGN: A completely randomized design.SETTING: Biophysical Teaching and Research Department of Harbin Medical University.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out at Biophysical Laboratory,Harbin Medical University, between May and November 2002. Forty healthy Wistar rats were adaptively raised for 1 week before randomized into 3 groups, namely, sham-operation group (n=10), model group (n=15)and magnetic therapy group (n=15).METHODS: ① IR model of middle cerebral artery (MCA) was established in rats in model group and magnetic therapy group, but MCA was only tied up without occlusion in sham-operation group. ② In magnetic therapy group, rat necks were exposed to 40 mT constant magnetic field instantly after ischemic injury for 30 minutes, once a day, while rats in sham-operation group and model group were not exposed to magnetic field.Three groups of rats were anaesthetized at postoperative 7 days for obtaining blood from eyeball, and cut off head for obtaining brain.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Hemodynamic changes in three groups of rats. ② Changes of RBC membrane fluidity-related parameters.③ Changes of serum glutathione peroxidase and ceruloplasmin content.④ Changes of brain malonedialdehyde (MDA), NO, and NO synthetase activity indexes.RESULTS: Thirty rats were included and all entered the result analysis.① Hemodynamic parameters: Blood high-shearing, blood low-shearing viscosity, fibrinogen and HCT were remarkably higher in model group than in sham- operation group (P < 0.01), but obviously lower in magnetic therapy group than in model group (P < 0.01). ② RBC membrane fluidity: The fluorescence polarization, average microviscosity and aeolotropy were remarkably higher in model group than in sham-operation group (P < 0.01), and the above indexes were lower in magnetic therapy group than in model group (P < 0.05). ③ Serum glutathione peroxidase and ceruloplasmin contents in model group were remarkably lower than those in sham-operation group (P < 0.05), but were higher in magnetic therapy group than in model group (P < 0.01), and slightly higher than sham-operation group. ④ The brain Cu/Zn-SOD, MDA, NO, NO synthetase activities in model group were remarkably higher than in sham-operation group (P < 0.05 or 0.01),but antioxidase activity was remarkably lower than that in sham-operation group (P < 0.01); all parameters were proved to get better in magnetic therapy group after magnetic field treatment, and better than those in model group (P < 0.05, 0.01).CONCLUSION: Constant magnetic field exposure can remarkably improve rat hemodynamic property, increase RBC membrane fluidity and antioxidase activity, and reduce the content of MDA, NO, NO synthetase,thereby improving organic anti-oxidation capability and effectively preventing free radicals and NO-induced neural damage. It possesses certain function of protecting brain IR injury through holding up the pathophysiological development of brain ischemia injury.

Objective:To assess whether intrathecal orphanin FQ can develop the antinociceptive effect tolerance,and whether there is a cross tolerance between the antinociceptive effect of intrathecal orphanin FQ and the ? opioid receptor agonist morphine.Methods: Tail flick test was used to observe the change of antinociceptive effect after orphanin FQ/morphine intrathecal microinjection into the rats tolerant to acute or chronic morphine/orphanin FQ.Results:Like morphine,large dosage of continuous intrathecal orphanin FQ microinjection produced tolerance to the antinociceptive effect,but there was no apparent cross tolerance between the orphanin FQ and morphine; Hyperalgesic response was found in morphine tolerant rats,but not in orphanin FQ tolerant rats.Conclusion:Lack of cross tolerance between the antinociceptive effect of intrathecal orphanin FQ and morphine indicates that the mechanism of tolerance to orphanin FQ may differ from that to morphine; The antinociceptive effect of intrathecal orphanin FQ may be largely related with its specific receptor in the spinal cord.
