Objective To investigate the effects of Astragalus polysaccarides (APS) on 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats. Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 8 ): control group, TNBS group, low-dose APS group, high-dose APS group, and prednisone group. Experimental colitis was induced in rats by enema administration of TNBS. Rats in APS and sions and histological damages were determined, and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) was measured in the excised colonic tissues. Cytokine levels including interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Both macroscopic lesions and histological colonic damages induced by TNBS were reduced by low-dose APS treatment. These were accompanied by significantly attenuated colonic MPO activity (P = 0. 03) and the increase of IL-4 and IL-10 levels. The macroscopic lesions and MPO activities of high-dose APS group were higher than TNBS group, histological damage and level of IL-4 were lower, and level of IL-10 was higher, but all without statistical significance. Levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were lower than those of TNBS group, but there was no significant difference between prednisone group and TNBS group. Levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were significantly lower in prednisone group than in control group ( P = 0. 049, P = 0. 001 ). Conclusions Different doses of APS have different effects on TNBS-induced colitis. Lower dose of APS has the therapeutic potential inexperimental colitis, while higher dose of APS may aggravate the disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) on 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats and on dendritic cells (DCs) in mesenteric lymph nodes.Methods Forty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 11) using simple random sampling: normal control group, TNBS group, APS group, and 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) group.Experimental colitis was induced in rats by TNBS enema in the last three groups.Rats in APS and 5-ASA groups were treated by gavage with APS (0.75 g ? kg-1 ? d-1) and 5-ASA (100 mg ? kg-1 ? d-1) on the 10 consecutive days following TNBS administration.The rats were then sacrificed and the colonic inflammatory scores of rats were measured, including the scores of disease activity index ( DAI) , macroscopic lesions, and histological damages,as well as the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO).The expressions of major histocompatibility complex class Ⅱ(MHC Ⅱ ) and costimulatory molecule CD86 on DCs were determined by flow cytometry.Results Compared with the TNBS group, APS group had significantly decreased scores of DAI ( P = 0.007 ) , macroscopic lesions (P =0.017), and histological damages (P = 0.016).Moreover, its level of the activity of MPO dropped but without statistical significance (P =0.183).TNBS group had significantly higher expressions of MHC Ⅱand CD86 molecules on DCs than the normal control group (P = 0.005, P = 0.008), APS group (P = 0.023, P = 0.018), and 5-ASA group (P = 0.017, P=0.013).Conclusion APS may attenuate TNBS-induced colitis in rats and downregulate the activation of DCs in mesenteric lymph nodes.

Objective　To evaluate the role of transfected angiotensinⅡ(Ang Ⅱ) receptor AT1 anti-sense nucleotide (AT1A) in the expression of subtypes of AngⅡ receptor mRNA, synthesis of protein and nucleic acid in cardiomyocytes. Methods　AT1 cDNA sequence (476 bp) was cloned with RT-PCR and reversely inserted into PcDNA3.1 (5.4 kb) to construct an intact plasmid containing AT1A (PAT1A). The plasmid was then transfected into the cultured cardiomyocytes and identified with RT-PCR and Western blot. The synthesis of protein and nucleic acid identified by 3H-Leu and 3H-TdR incorporation, and expressions of AT1 and AT2 mRNA by RT-PCR, were compared between transfected and nontransfected cardiomyocytes after being stimulated with 10-7 mol/L AngⅡ for 24 h. Results　The plasmid PAT1A were successfully constructed. The AT1 mRNA and its protein were expressed significantly less in the transfected cardiomyocytes than in the control (P<0.01). In the transfected cardiomyocytes, AT1 mRNA expression was markedly decreased, but that of AT2 mRNA obviously increased (P<0.01) when compared with the nontransfected cardiomyocytes after stimulation for 24 h with AngⅡ 10-7 mol/L; no significant difference was found in 3H-Leu and 3H-TdR incorporation between them. Conclusion　After the cardiomyocytes was tranfected with AT1A, the expression of AT1 mRNA was markedly suppressed，while AT2 mRNA up-regulated at the same time. Our results indicate that AT1A blocking can not effectively interrupt the Ang Ⅱ-induced synthesis of the protein and nucleic acid in cardiomyocytes.

Objective To evaluate the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, imaging features, treatments and factors related to prognosis of acute spinal spontaneous hematoma.Methods The clinical data of 38 patients with acute spinal hematoma treated in our hospital from 2011 till now were analyzed retrospectively.Duration of follow-up was 6 months.The factors influencing the prognosis were analyzed.Results Acute epidural hematomas (n=29) were much more common than subdural (n=5), subarachnoid (n=1) and intramedullary (n=3).Most hematomas were located in the cervical and thoracic vertebra regions.The etiology of acute spinal spontaneous hematoma was unknown in most patients.Twenty-nine patients were dealt with surgical intervention and 9 patients were treated conservatively.After 6-month follow up, recovery rate measured by JOA score in patients of spinal injury ASIA level A and B was (51.26 ±38.97), and level C, D and E was (80.33 ±25.83), P<0.05.Recovery rate in patients with hematoma discovered in less then 24 hours treated with surgical decompression was (64.79 ±36.10), and that in those with hematoma present over 24 hours was (34.54 ±30.17), P<0.05.Conclusions Acute spinal hematoma always caused by unknown etiology, and usually manifests itself in a sudden onset of pain and neurological deficits.The early diagnosis mainly depends on MRI.Patients presenting with severe neurologic dysfunction or showing signs of progressive deficit should have immediate surgical intervention. The status of neurological deficits before surgery and the length of interval between onset and surgical intervention are associated with recovery.

Objective To investigate the microsurgical treatment of subdural extramedullary tumors in ventral spinal.Methods Retrospectively analyzed 16 cases of subdural extramedullary tumors in ventral spinal which resected by microsurgical technique from January 2000 to December 2013.By summarized the tumor character,location,extent of resection and rehef of symptoms.Results All of 16 cases were successfully resected,in which 14 cases completely resected,2 cases mostly resected.A higher response rate of local symptoms and neurological symptoms obtained postoperatively,2 patients got worse sensory disorders,movement disorder compared with preoperative,cerebrospinal fluid leakage occured in 1 patient.Conclusion Resection of the subdural extramedullary tumors in ventral spinal with microsurgical technique has the advantage of more clearly anatomical level,minimal tissue injury of spinal cord and surrounding tissue,higher tumor removal rate.

A method based on HPLC-ICP-MS was established to separate the reaction products of ( ethylenediamine) palladium(Ⅱ) chloride([Pd ( en ) Cl2])and 5’-deoxyguanylic acid ( 5’-dGMP). Two reaction products were detected at pH 8. 0 with 25 mmol/L phosphate buffer solution as chromatography eluent. One was the main product with HPLC retention time of 2. 8 min, the other product’s retention time was 3.2 min. According to ESI-MS(MS/MS) study, m/z=510, 511, 512, 514, 516[M+1]+ parent ions ( abundances same to palladium isotopes) were detected. Further analysis showed that the main product was[Pd( en) ( N1-5’-dGMP) ]. However the other product was hardly to be detected by ESI-MS. By using HPLC-DAD and HPLC-ICP-MS, we found that the two reaction products had the same UV absorption spectra and palladium percentage content. Combined with other groups’research, the other reaction product was deduced as dimmer, trimer or tetramer form of[Pd( en) ( N1-5’-dGMP) ]. Further study revealed that[Pd( en) ( N1-5’-dGMP) ] was easily formed in acid solution while its polymer form was generated in alkaline solution. At pH 6. 0, [Pd(en)(N1-5’-dGMP)] was formed within 12 hours with good stability. Research also revealed that the total amount of two reaction products declined as reaction pH climbed.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral embolism from pulmonary embolism (PE).Methods The clinical data of 5 cases with PE accompanied by cerebral embolism covering a period from October of 2007 to July of 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Results In this study,the average age of 5 cases (all female) was 46.5 years old.PE was diagnosed through enhanced CT and ECT in lung among all 5 cases.Moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension was confirmed by echocardiogram.Two cases was patent foramen ovale and one was congenital atrial septal defect.Each patient was diagnosed to be new-onset cerebral infarction by MRI.Three cases underwent cerebral arterial thrombolysis.All of them survived and long-term anticoagulant treatment with Warfarin.INR was adjusted between 2.0 and 2.5 by change of Warfarin dose.Among them,one patient had cerebral embolism again just 3 days after the latest cerebral embolism; the other 4 patients did not suffer from cerebral embolism during the follow-up.Conclusions Paradoxical cerebral embolism is common.For clinical patients with PE,especially pulmonary hypertension accompanied by systemic circulation arterial embolism or unexplained systemic cerebral arterial embolism,paradoxical cerebral embolism should be considered.

Objective To assess the nutritional risk of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods The nutritional status of 112 IBD patients from PUMC Hospital were evaluated by Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002).Using Chinese standard,a body mass index (BMI) that was lowered than 18.5 kg/m~2 according to clinical material was regarded as malnutrition,and the score was recorded as 3.The se-verity of ulcerative colitis (UC) was evaluated using True-Love criteria as mild,moderate,and severe.Crohn's disease (CD) was evaluated using Harvey-Bradshaw Index as in remission stage (≤4),moderately active stage (4-8),and severely actively stage (≥9).Results All these 112 patients,including 70 UC cases and 42 CD cases,were evaluated by NRS2002.Forty-five patients (40.2%) were judged as at the risk of malnutrition.The incidence of malnutrition was significantly higher in CD patients than in UC patients (52.4% vs.32.9%,P<0.05).It was also significantly correlated with the severity of disease.In patients with severe IBD,the rate of mal-nutrition evaluated by BMI according to clinical material was significantly lower than the rate of nutritional risk.Con-clusions The risk of malnutrition is high in IBD patients.NRS 2002 can be used for nutritional risk screening.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of three-dimensional navigation template assisted osteotomy for fracture malunion of lateral condyle of humerus in children.Methods:Eighteen children with ma-lunion of fracture of lateral condyle of humerus were treated in Southern Medical University Third Affiliated Hospital from August 2012 to December 2019 and analyzed retrospectively.Among them, 12 cases were treated with routine ope-ration: according to CT reconstruction and empirical osteotomy during the operation, the location of deformity was analyzed.Six cases were treated with navigation template assisted osteotomy: according to the CT data of bilateral elbow joints, a three-dimensional bone model was established, and the coronal and sagittal deformities of the distal humerus were evaluated by comparing the images of the distal humerus of the affected side with the distal humerus of the healthy side, so as to determine the best plane of osteotomy and the target position of reduction.The preoperative simulation was carried out on the computer, and the osteotomy navigation template and reduction navigation template were designed.The navigation template was printed out with a 3D printer.During the operation, the osteotomy was corrected with the assistance of navigation template, and the broken end of osteotomy was fixed with hollow screw and fixed with 80 degree flexion plaster.The X-ray films of the two groups were reexamined regularly after operation.The amount of intraoperative blood loss, operation time, incidence of postoperative complications (necrosis of humeral head and trochlea, delayed ulnar nerve paralysis, and bone nonunion) and the recovery of flexion and the extension function of elbow joint were observed in the 2 groups.Results:The elbow joint activity of all children basically returned to normal, the orthopedic site of osteotomy achieved bony healing, and the orthopedic effects were satisfactory.All the 18 cases were followed up for 6-24 months (mean 15 months). According to the postoperative Dhillon score, the navigation template group was excellent in 1 case and better in 5 cases, while in the routine group, 11 cases were batter and 1 case was fair.There were no significant differences in Dhillon score between the 2 groups after operation ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the range of the motion of elbow joint between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). In the comparison of operation time and intraoperative blood loss, the navigation template group [(200.0±24.2) min, (85.0±10.9) mL]was better than the routine group[(232.0±20.1) min, (139.1±18.3) mL](all P<0.001). Conclusions:The application of three-dimensional humerus reconstruction and mirror image contrast to evaluate the distal humerus deformity of the affected side, and the design of osteotomy and reduction navigation template auxiliary operation can restore the normal anatomical structure of elbow joint to the greatest extent.Accurate correction, and the function of elbow joint recover well after operation, which optimizes the operation procedure, improves the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
