Objective To explore the effect on effect of combined use of Y27632 (ROCK II inhibitor)and TDZD-8(GSK-3β inhibitor)on axonal regeneration of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in neogenetic rats. Methods All the thoracolumbar DRGs of two neogenetic Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats(<5 days)were harvested under the stereopsis raicrostat,and then the DRG neurons were cultured,purified and indentified.Fifteen adult female SD rats were randomly divided into three groups,ie,complete paraplegia group(5 rats),sham operation control group(5 rats)and normal group(5 rats)respectively.The T8-10 spinal cord extracts (SCEs) were harvested in the complete paraplegia group,sham operation control group and normal group respectively at day 7 after spinal cord injury.The experiment was divided into group A(DRG neurons + PBS),group B(DRG neurons + complete paralysis SCE),group C(DRG neurons + complete paralysis SCE + different concentration Y27632),group D(DRG neurons + complete paralysis SCE + different concentration TDZD-8)and group E(DRG neurons + complete paralysis SCE + proper concentration Y27632 and TDZD-8).The average axonal length and expression intensity of Tubulin βⅢ at distal end of neuronal axons were observed after two days of co-culture respectively in intro. Results (1)The average axonal length and expression intensity of Tubulin βⅢ at axon shaft and growth cone in the group B were significantly shorter and weaker than that in the group A,with statistical difference.(2)In the group C,the average axonal length and expression intensity of Tubulln βⅢ at axon shaft and growth cone in 5-10 μmol/L Y27632 treatment groups were more than that in the group B but lower than that in the group A.The average axonal length and expression intensity of Tubuhn βⅢ at axon shaft and growth cone in 20-50 μmol/L Y27632 treatment group were longer and stronger than that in the group A and the group B,especially the group B.Among different concentration Y27632 treatment groups,there was a longest average axonal length and strongest expression intensity of Tubulin βⅢ in 30 μmol/L treatment group.(3) In the group D,there was a longer average axonal length in 0.5-3 μmol/L TDZD-8 treatment group than that in the group A and the group B,with the longeat average axonal length in l μmool/L TDZD-8 treatment group.In 5-25 μmol/L TDZD-8 treatment groups,the average axonal length showed no difference compared with the group B but wns shorter than that in the group A.In all different concentration TDZD-8 treatment groups,the expression intensity of Tubulin βⅢ at axon shaft and growth cone was significantly stronger than that in the groups A and B.(4) In the group E,although the average axonal length was increased in the group E,there was no statisilcal difference compared with the group A,30 μmol/L Y27632 treatment group and l μmol/L TDZD-8treatment group.There was a significantly longer average axonal length in the group E than it in the group B and the expression intensity of Tubulin βⅢ at axon shaft and growth cone was stronger in the group E compared to the group A,30 μmol/L Y27632 treatment group and l μmol/L TDZD-8 treatment group.Conclusion The complete paralysis SCEs obviously inhibits DRG axonal growth,induces axonal retraction and growth cone collapse.High concentration of Y27632 can more obviously promote the axon growth compared with the low concentration,while the low concentration of TDZD-8 can obviously promote the axon growth.Combined use of appropriate concentration of TDZD-8 and Y27632 can promote the axon growth and induce the axons branching,as facilitates the formation of the axon circuit.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of statins for secondary prevention and its efficacy in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 300 patients with ischemic stroke were divided into statins group (n=91) and control group (n=209) according to whether statins was received or not.Serum lipid parameters,liver and kidney function,carotid artery intimamedia thickness (IMT) and plaque area were compared between the two groups.Results In 209 patients not taking statins,68 cases (32.5％) were not advised by clinic doctor; 55 cases (27.8％)were reluctant to take statins in fear of adverse reactions; 77 cases (36.8％) discontinued stains when serum lipids were normal; 3 cases (1.4％) developed skin allergic reaction and the skin rash that disappeared after stains discontinuance; 3 cases (1.4％) had elevated liver enzyme levels and the enzyme levels were declined to normal after stains discontinuance.The levels of total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly lower in statin group than in control group [(4.93±0.45) mmol/L vs.(5.87±0.38) mmol/L,(1.68±0.61)mmol/L vs.(2.01±0.58) mmol/L,(2.49±0.57) mmol/L vs.(3.76±0.44) mmol/L,t=18.60,4.46,20.94,P=0.000,0.007,0.000,respectively].High density lipoprotein (HDL-C) level was significantly higher in stain group than in control group [(1.36±0.31) mmol/L vs.(1.03±0.25)mmol/L,t=9.75,P=0.001].There were no significant differences in liver and kidney function parameters such as alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,alkaline phosphatase,serum total bilirubin,direct bilirubin,indirect bilirubin,glutamyl transferase,blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine between the two groups (all P＞0.05).The carotid IMT and carotid atherosclerotic plaque area were significantly lower in stain group than in control group [(1.62 ± 0.23) mm vs.(1.74±0.31) mm,(0.57±0.12) cm2 vs.(0.65±0.18) cm2,t=3.32,3.88,P=0.008,0.002,respectively].Conclusions Most patients with ischemic stroke are still not taking statin for secondary prevention.Statins can improve the blood lipid levels and carotid arteriosclerosis status,and no obvious adverse reactions are observed.

Objective To compare the clinical diagnostic value of 320 row four-dimensional CT angiography (4D-CTA)and digital subtraction angiography (DSA)in untreated arteriovenous malformation (AVM)patients.Methods Thirty-six patients with AVM diagnosed by DSA were included in this study.Two independent readers blind to the results of all examinations evaluated the find-ings of DSA and 4D-CTA of each patient.All results were then documented using a standardized scoring sheet.Results The diagno-sis results of 4D-CTA for AVM lesions in all 36 patients were accurately consistent with those of DSA,including the position,size and vascular structure.There were 14 cases with the largest diameter <3 cm,20 cases 3-6 cm,2 cases >6 cm.Lesions involved only the anterior circulation in 13 cases,only the posterior circulation in 13 cases,and both the anterior and posterior circulation in 10 cases.Conclusion 4D CTA has excellent diagnostic accuracy in the detection of AVM lesions,including size,location,feeding ar-teries and draining veins,with similar value as DSA in the clinical diagnose and evaluation of AVM.

Objective Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura(HSP)is a common multisystemic vasculitis in children ,but the exact pathogenesis remains unknown. Pentraxin 3(PTX3),a new kind of inflammatory cytokines,has a strong inflammatory effect,and is involved in occurrence and develop-ment of a variety of autoimmune diseases. The objective of this study is to evaluate the expression of PTX3,interleukin-8(IL-8),tumor necrosis fac-tor-α(TNF-α)and high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)in children with HSP,and explore the clinical significance of PTX3 in HSP devel-opment. Methods Thirty-six children(HSP group)and 17 healthy children(control group)were enrolled in the study. Serum levels of PTX3,IL-8 and TNF-α were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum hs-CRP levels were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. Re-sults The serum levels of PTX3,IL-8,TNF-α,and hs-CRP were up-regulated in HSP group compared with the control group(P<0.05). The levels of PTX3,IL-8,TNF-α,and hs-CRP in patients with joint symptoms,or/and gastrointestinal symptoms,or/and kidney injury were significant-ly higher than those patients without joint symptoms,or/and gastrointestinal symptoms,or/and kidney injury(P<0.05). The expression of PTX3 was positively correlated with the expression of IL-8 and TNF-α(r=0.514,0.833,all P<0.05),but there was no correlation between PTX3 and hs-CRP(r=0.292,P>0.05). The expression of PTX3,IL-8,TNF-α and hs-CRP in HSP patients had no gender difference(all P>0.05). Con-clusion The high expression of PTX3 is related to the degree of inflammation in children with HSP. The up-regulated expression of PTX3 may play an important role in pathogenesis of HSP in children.

Objective To learn Chinese and English nurses' knowledge of,attitude to,and experience of physical activity(PA) and associated health promotion(HP).Methods Content analysis method was used to analyze the open-ended questions in a questionnaire survey of Chinese and English nurses about physical activity and associated health promotion.Results Nurses from both countries felt the heavy workload of nursing work was an important barrier for their personal PA,and they all appealed the institution should provide PA facilities or easy access to gym or other sport center.UK nurses demonstrated comprehensive understanding of PA and PA HP,and reported positive attitude toward their own role model in PA HP.Chinese nurses concerned more about their own PA than their PA HP,and they were lack of motivation to participate in PA.Conclusions Education to nurses for physical activity and health promotion should be encouraged.Implications for future research about nurses' occupational physical activity are noted.

Objective To investigate the relationship between triglyceride and serum polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods Totally 74 MS patients (MS group) and 62 healthy subjects (normal control group,NC group) were recruited from June 2011 to June 2012 in Shaoxing People's Hospital.Serum phospholipid fatty acid profiles were analyzed with capillary gas chromatography.Serum lipids were measured by enzymatic assay.Results The triglyceride concentration was significantly higher in MS group than that in NC group [(2.0 ±0.8) mmol/L vs.(1.3 ±0.5) mmol/L,P=0.000].The levels of n-3 PUFA,n-6 PUFA,and PUFA were significantly lower in MS group than those in NC group (9.8％ ±2.2％ vs.11.1％ ±2.4％,P=0.002; 35.4％ ±6.7％ vs.39.5％ ±7.8％,P=0.009; 45.2％ ±8.9％ vs.50.6％ ±10.1％,P =0.000).Triglyceride concentration was inversely correlated with n-3 PUFA and PUFA levels (r =-0.42,P =0.008 ; r =-0.23,P =0.013).Conclusions n-3 PUFA,n-6 PUFA,and PUFA decrease in MS patients.Triglyceride concentration is inversely correlated with PUFA.

Background and purpose:Microsatellite instability (MSI) status is commonly applied to predict the prognosis and chemosensitivity in stage Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ colorectal cancer patients. However, researches of its function on metastasis colorectal cancer are limited. This study investigated its value on prognosis and chemosensitivity in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.Methods:We retrospectively investigated tumor tissues from metastasis CRC patients who were treated with oxaliplatin and 5-FU-based therapy regimens (FOLFOX and XELOX). Immunostaining of proteins of the mismatch repair genehMLH1,hMSH2,hMSH6 andhPMS2 was performed. Prognostic value and chemosensitivity in patients with MSI status were also determined.Results:Clinical features from 113 patients were analyzed. No cor-relation of overall survival (OS) and chemosensitivity with MSI status was found. We further investigated 79 patients with synchronous metastasis and palliatively tumor resection. Median progression free survival (PFS) from 22 MSI patients was significant longer than that in 57 MSS patients (19.9 monthsvs 7 months,P=0.005). No significant difference was seen in OS comparison (P=0.07). MSI status was also an independent prognostic factors of PFS by Cox multivariate analysis (MSS/MSI,HR=2.079,P=0.043). Moreover, in this group, MSI patients had improved disease control rate (59.1%vs 31.6%, P=0.025) in chemosensitivity analysis than MSS patients.Conclusion:A better PFS in MSI patients with synchronous metastasis and palliative tumor resection was found after treated with oxaliplatin and 5-FU-based therapy and a better chemosensitivity in MSI patients was also found.
