BACKGROUND: Microglia is the immune effect cell in central nervous system, if it is activated, it will release neuron poisoning factors and inflammatory factors, and bring fatal injury.OBJECTIVE: To investigated the effect of focal cerebral reperfusion on activation of microglia and the effect of the regulation of electroacupuncturing Shuigou and Baihui.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled study.SETTING: The department of Physioltherapy, the 458 Hospital of Chinese PLA; Dongfang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Tongji University; The department of Histology-embryology, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: This experiment was processed at Histology-embryology Center of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in March 2002. Total 80 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 8 groups with 10 in each group.METHODS: ① Normal control group: The rats were not given any treatment and killed next day. ② Sham operation group: Only artery was separated, no suture inserted, killed next day. ③ 6, 12 and 24-hour reperfusion groups: The rats' right middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemia-reperfusion model was made by embolus suture technique, then the rat was killed after 30 minutes' occlusion at MCA and reperfusing respectively 6, 12, 24hours. ④ 6-hour reperfusion + electroacupuncture group: Electroacupuncture was carried out immediately after the model was made, then the rat was killedafter 30 minutes' occlusion at MCA and reperfusion 6 hours (The frequency was 4 Hz-16 Hz. Stimulus intensity increased 1 V per 10minutes and the final intensity was 3V. The stimulus was lasted 30 minutes). ⑤ 12-hour reperfusion + electroacupuncture B group: Electroacupuncture was carried out immediately after the model was made and 8 hours later, then the rat was killed after 30 minutes' occlusion at MCA and reperfusion 12 hours. ⑥ 24-hour reperfusion + electroacupuncture group: Electroacupuncture was carried out immediately after the model was made and 8, 16 hours later, then the rat was killed after 30 minutes' occlusion at MCA and reperfusion 24 hours.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: To calculate numbers of microglia and to observe its morphological changes.RESULTS: Data of totally 67 rats was entered the results analysis. No microglia was seen in the normal and sham operation groups. Large quantity of microglia was activated at the border of ischemic area in 6, 12 and 24reperfusion group, their quantity was largely increased, reaching apex at reperfusion 12 hours [(35.38±1.77), (54.25±1.67), (49.29±2.21)/200sights]. The quantity in every 6, 12 and 24 reperfusion + electroacupuncture group was less than that in model group [(32.11±2.80), (50.88±2.64),(45.45±3.95)/200 sights, P ＜ 0.05].CONCLUSION: The microglia in brain is activated after the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and induces toxic effect on neurons. The electroacupuncture can decrease activation of microglia so as to protect the neurons.

Objective To explore the effect of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture on the biomechanics of medial collateral ligament (MCL). Methods Six fresh human knee joints were fixed on the self-made fixture and flexed 90°. ACL was divided into a normal group, an anteromedi-al bundle(AMB) break group, and an ACL complete break group. 800N burden was loaded, and the MCL strain data were compared among the 3 groups. Results The MCL strain was significantly increased in the AMB break group and the ACL complete break group than that in the normal group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the MCL strain between the AMB break group and the ACL complete break group (P>0.05). Conclusion ACL rupture may cause significant changes in the MCL biomechanics, but the effect of AMB break and ACL complete break on MCL has no significant difference.

Objective To study the role of bone marrow mesenchymalstem cells in recovery process of hepatocyteinjury and to explore the possible mechanism. Methods BMSCs and primary generation of hepatocytes were cultured and identified. A model of hepatocyte injure was established. Liver cell proliferation at different conditionswas detected by MTT method. Hepatocytes were added with BMSCs,baxinhibitor and mixture of BMSCs and baxinhibitor for co?cultured.Expressions of TGF?β1,bcl?2,and baxwere detected by Westernblot and real?time PCR. Results BMSCs and primary generation of hepatocyte were successfully cultured and identified, and a model of hepatocyte injury was successfully established. MTT tests revealed that the OD value of the mixture wassignificant higher in BMSCs and HGF co?culture group than in BMSCs co?culture group or HGF co?culture group;there was no significant difference between BMSCs co?culture group and HGF co?culture group,while both groups were significant higher than control group. The MTT tests also revealed that the OD value of the mixture of BMSCs and Baxinhibitor co?culture group had no significant difference as compared with BMSCs co?culture group or Baxinhibitor co?culture group. There was no significant difference between BMSCs co?culture group and Baxinhibitor co?culture group,while the OD value was significant higher in both groups than in the control group. Westernb lot and real?time PCR results revealed that the value of TGF?β1 and bax in the mixture of BMSCs and Baxinhibitor co?culture group had no significant difference as compared with BMSCs co?culture group or Baxinhibitor co?culture group. There was no significant difference between BMSCs co?culture group and Baxinhibitor co?culture group,while both groups had a significant higher value than the control group. The value of Bcl?2 in the mixture of BMSCs and Baxinhibitor co?culture group had no significant difference as compared with BMSCs co?culture group or Baxinhibitor co?culture group. There was no significant difference between BMSCs co?culture group and Baxinhibitor co?culture group,while both groups had a significant lower value than the control group. Conclusions BMSCs can promote hepatocyte proliferation during the recovery process of hepatocyte injury,BMSCs and HGF promote liver cell proliferation have synergy effect,the effect of BMSCs probably through regulate TGF?β1/bcl?2(bax)correlation pathway.

Objective To present the status of smoking control in the Health and Family Planning System in Hubei Province, and to provide scientific basis for smoking control through secret investigations. Methods During the period from July to August in 2015, 168 sanitary Health and Family Planning institutions were chosen by stratified selection to make questionnaires based on Evaluation Standards for Smoke-free Health and Family Planning Institutions issued by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China. Secret investigations were conducted in 165 sampled institutions and comparisons were made between smoke-free environment establishment as well as execution processes according to the fraction after converting into centesimal system (actual score/reserved portion × 100). Results The overall score for smoking control in Health and Family Planning System of Hubei Province has climbed to 79.29 ± 12.40.compared to that of 2011 has increased, but 1.6 lower than the national comprehensive evaluated score of 2014. The score of the city (82.14 ± 10.51) proved to be higher than that of the province (66.51±19.69) and the county, (75.35±13.40);disease control institutions (84.77± 9.45) enjoyed a higher score that the others with lowest scores in medical institutions (72.80 ± 14.95);Xianning won the highest score (88.52±5.12);Jingmen (69.81±5.16) and Xiaogan (67.92±7.98) proved to be the lowest in their scores. Nine regions in 17 embraced a lowest discrepancy of over 30 scores and the highest discrepancy of 50.94 scores between the highest score and the lowest among different institutions;12.73% (21/165) medical institutions had no publicity materials; 5/17 municipal institutions and 3/10 county level institutions were still found selling cigarettes, with only 46.06%(76/165) institutions reaching the standard of banning smoking in indoor places, 21.21%(35/165) institutions still have indoor smoking in non-working places, 1.82%(3/165) institutions have indoor smoking in working places. Only 18 (32.14%) institutions out of 56 medical institutions investigated have established smoking cessation clinics. Conclusions Banning-smoking work is less optimistic in general for Health and Family Planning System in Hubei Province, especially for substratum health and family planning institutions. All kinds of departments should take drastic measures to guaranttee the establishment of smoking-free environment.
