BACKGROUND:Bone morphogenetic protein 9 is proved to promote the osteogenic differentiation of various kinds of stem cel s, but whether it can induce the osteogenic differentiation of dental fol icle cel s in vitro is yet unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether bone morphogenetic protein 9 can induce the osteogenic differentiation of rat dental fol icle cel s in vitro. METHODS:Purified rat dental fol icle cel s at passage 3 were transfected with bone morphogenetic protein 9 adenovirus. Then, alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium deposition and expression of osteogenesis-related factors at mRNA and protein levels were detected in the dental fol icle cel s. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After transfection with bone morphogenetic protein 9, the dental fol icle cel s showed continuously enhanced alkaline phosphatase activities and obviously enhanced calcium deposition. Real-time PCR results demonstrated that the mRNA expressions of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin and core binding factor were increased significantly. The western blot assay showed that the expression of osteopontin enhanced in the dental fol icle cel s after transfection with bone morphogenetic protein 9. In summary, bone morphogenetic protein 9 can induce the osteogenic differentiation of dental fol icle cel s.

The occurrence rate of post-operation nausea, vomiting and abdominal bloating was observed.Result The occurrence rate of nausea, vomiting and abdominal bloating was 11.7% in the treatment group, versus 33.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Auricular point sticking plus moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) is effective in preventing spleen-stomach disharmony due to intravenous analgesia pump, and can reduce pain and complications.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have shown that osteoclast differentiation factor is closely related to osteoclast differentiation, formation and function in bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of three kinds of orthodontic appliances on the expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of rat periodontal tissue during remodeling process and to explore the biocompatibility of the orthodontic appliances with the host tissues during orthodontic treatment. METHODS:Eighty healthy Wistar rats were selected to establish animal models of orthodontic tooth movement, and then randomly divided into four groups: control group, MBT group, Begg group, Damon Ⅲ appliance group. Four animal from each group were sacrificed at 3, 7, 14 days after wearing orthodontic appliances. The tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining was used to count the osteoclasts at the pressure side of alveolar bone tissue; real-time quantitative PCR detection to detect mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of periodontal tissue and time distribution characteristics. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the number of positive osteoclasts and mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of the alveolar bone tissue were increased with orthodontic time, reached the peaked at 7 days and then gradualy decreased. The number of positive osteoclastsand mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at the pressure side of the alveolar bone tissue were significantly higher in the Damon Ⅲ group than the other three groups at 7 days after orthodontic treatment (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that, during the bone remodeling, the number of positive osteoclasts changed in accordance with the mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor, and at 7 days, the number of positive osteoclasts and mRNA expression of osteoclast differentiation factor were highest in the Damon Ⅲ group.

Objective　To investigate the causes and preventive methods of postoperative complications of femoral shaft fracture treated with intramedullary interlocking nails. 　Methods　A total of 116 patients with femoral shaft fractures admitted to our hospital from 1994 to 1999 were retrospectively studied in this article. They were all treated with intramedullary interlocking nails. The locking nails were removed from the 14 patients with delayed union to convert the fixation from static to dynamic. For the 6 patients with bone nonunion, the locking nails were removed, and new locking nails and bone grafts were employed. And for the 4 patients with bone infection, the foci were cleaned and the locking nails were removed, then certain external fixation was applied.　Results　Followed up for 1 year, the fractures of 14 patients with delayed union were completely healed. For the 6 patients with bone nonunion, reoperation was needed in 4 patients and a third operation needed in 2 patients, and they all healed after being followed up for one and half a year. For the 4 patients with bone infection, only 3 patients healed. The whole effective rate was 95.8%. 　Conclusions　Although the intramedullary interlocking nails used for femoral shaft fractures have advantages than other internal fixations, the complications of delayed healing, nonunion, bone infection and breaking nails are often found. The effective measures to reduce the complications include strict master of the operative indications, suitable materials for the implant and conversion of the fixation from static to dynamic in time, careful selection of debriding the realm or debriding no realm, complete debridement and strict abacterial procedures.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for treatment of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) has obtained some outcomes in adult animals, but studies are few in neonatal animal models. Mesenchymal stem cells are commonly harvested from bone marrow. A few studies are on umbilical cord blood-mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and timeliness of UCB-MSC transplantation after injecting UCB-MSCs into neonatal rat models of HIBD. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The complete randomized controlled animal experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Department of Neurology of First Hospital Affiliated to Nanchang University from October 2004 to July 2005. MATERIALS: A total of 38 healthy neonatal SD rats aged 7 days old were used to create rat models of HIBD. Three rats died. METHODS: Cord blood samples were collected after normal full-term delivery of 23-35 healthy pregnant women for culturing UCB-MSCs. MSCs were labeled with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole 2hci (DAPI) in vitro before transplantation. Thirty-five rat models were divided into three groups. UCB-MSCs were injected into tail vein of twelve rat models in the early transplantation group two days after modeling. UCB-MSCs were injected into tail vein of twelve rat models in the late transplantation group one week after modeling. Same volume of saline was injected into eleven rats of the control group. Six rats from early transplantation and late transplantation groups each were respectively obtained at day 2 after transplantation and at week 2 after modeling. Three, four and four rats from control group were obtained respectively 2 days, 1 and 2 weeks after modeling, and sacrificed after anaesthesia. Ischemic brain tissues from the brain and hippocampal gyrum were sliced into frozen sections. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Brain tissue pathomorphology was measured by Haematoxylin and Eosin Staining. Brain tissue DAPI-positive cells were detected with a fluorescence microscope. RESULTS: Brain edema at ischemic region, neural cell swelling and a decrease in cell number were tested in the control group. DAPI-positive UCB-MSCs were few in focal brain tissues, and swelling degree,extracellular space improvement and increased cell number were insignificant in the early transplantation group. One week after modeling, brain tissue extracellular space became small, cell number increased, and brain swelling reduced; A mass of DAPI-positive cells in rat focal brain migrated and diffused, without significant boundary in the late transplantation group. CONCLUSION: UCB-MSCs effectively traverse blood-brain barrier, and migrate, disperse and conform around focal brain tissues. A good outcome of transplantation is obtained at week 1 after HIBD.
