Objectives; To identify the roles of Notch - 1 gene for survivaland differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs) into neurons by way of RNA interference ( RNAi) technique to suppress expression of Notch - 1 gene. Methods; Firstly, construct mNotch - 1 short hairpin RNA (mNotch -IshRNA) and then to oberve configuration of MSCs transfected by mNotch - IshRNA; MTT was employed to evaluate the survival ratio of MSCs before transfection, 24 hours and 3 days after transfection, respectively; agents, such as BDNF, retinoid acid, were obtained to induce MSCs transfected by mNotch - IshRNA in vitro and expression of Nestin, NSE and NF200( neuron marker agent) and GFAP( neural glial cell marker agent) were determined by immunocytochemistry stain technique. Results: The cell cubic configuration was enforced and expression of notch - 1 gene vanished by transfection of mNotch -IshRNA. The survival ratio of MSCs by transfection decreased and there was significant differences between non - ransfection and transfection - controlling group after 24 hours and 3 days of transfection ( P

150 cases with carcinoma of salivary gknds were analysed. The tumors of 61 cases were located in parotid, 14 in submaxillary, 5 in sublingual and 72 in minor salivary gknds. 49 cases were pathologically diagnosed as malignant mixed tumor ,25 adenocarcino- ma, 24 adenoid cystic carcinoma,22 mucoepidermoid carcinoma,22 acinic cell carcinoma, 5 squamous cell carcinoma , 2 papillary cystadenocarcinoma, 1 undif-ferentiated carcinoma. The 3,5 and 10 year survival rates of these 150 patients were 80. 7% ,69. 4%. 52. 1% respectively. The prognosis of acinic cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma was much better than that of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcino-ma and undifferentiated carcinoma. According to the location of the tumors, the survival rates of the patients with the tumors in minor salivary glands and parotid glands were the highest and those in sublin-gual glands and submaxillary glands were the lowest . Postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy may increase the survival rate of the patients with carcinoma of salivary glands. The overall recurrent rate was 27. 6% ,the neck lymph node metastasis rate was 9.2%.

Twenty male wistar rats were divided into naloxone group and control group, and their backs were dipped into boiling water, which resulted in deep Ⅱ or Ⅲ degree burn of about 20% of BSA.Naloxone or normal saline were injected into lateral ventricle and electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded every 30 minutes.The results showed that the ECG of burned rats had not only a prolonged P-P, P-R, QT interval and QRS, but also an elevated ST segment and R wave. These changes were greatly delayed in the naloxone group (p

BACKGROUND:Total knee arthroplasty needs to use the femoral prosthesis. The prosthesis wil produce a certain axial rotation on the line, and affect the biological properties of the patelofemoral joint. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of axial rotation of prosthesis on biological effect of the patelofemoral joint in total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:Ten fresh human cadaver knees were obtained from the Specimen Room of Second Affiliated Hospital (Henan Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine) of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Knee joint experimental platform was established to simulate the human ankle and hip joint, providing 3 degrees of freedom of tibia and 2 degrees of freedom of femur. Femoral component rotation angle was measured. Total knee arthroplasty was conducted. The sensitive pressure-sensitive film was used to measure the transepicondylar axis rotation of 2°, 2° through the femoral epicondylar axis rotation, the femoral epicondylar axis rotation of 4°, and paralel to the femoral epicondylar axis, external rotation of the femoral epicondylar axis 4°, and the patelofemoral contact pressure and patelofemoral contact area paralel with Whiteside’s line. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The peak contact pressure inside and outside the joint at different axial rotation of the femoral prosthesis paraleled with femoral epicondylar axis was in a balanced state, and significant differences were detected as compared with other rotation manners (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in patelofemoral contact area at different directions. These findings suggest that femoral prosthesis axial rotation on the line in total knee arthroplasty wil have a certain effect on biological properties of patelofemoral joint. The peak contact pressure inside and outside patelofemoral joint in the paralel state of the femoral epicondylar axis does not appear excessive low or high state on one side, but in a balanced state. It can be chosen as a reference standard of rotational alignment of the femoral prosthesis during the operation.

0.05).Compared the second group with control group,there was more significantly difference on LH,FSH and PRL(P0.05).Conclusion It was more accurate and comprehensive to reflect the internal secretion condition through measurement of serum five kinds of sex hormone,and to provide an important indication of reasons for fe- male sterility.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of fastigial nucleus electrical stimulation(FNS) treating the disorders of consciousness by brain damage,and explore the possible mechanism.Methods:9 patients with the disorders of consciousness by brain damage of different pathogeneses were studied.They were treated with FNS on the basis of routine medical treatment.And Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS),electroencephalogram(EEG) and the clinical effects were observed.Results:After FNS treatment,the level of conciousness was improved.GCS were increased 5.22?1.44,which showed significant difference compared to that before treatment ( P

Current advances in imaging research,molecular biology,chemistry,and computing have enabled the recent emergence of molecular imaging. Molecular Imaging is an advanced imaging combining anatomical and metabolic information into one. Combined with the radiation planning system,molecular imaging is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and staging of malignant disease,image-guided therapy planning. Especially,molecular imaging has a significant role in the delineation of tumor target volume,optimization of radiation planning. This article introduces the clinical use of molecular imaging in radiation oncology in combination with the application of PET/CT.
