Objective To study the role of activated microglia transplantation in recovery of hindlimb locomotor function in rats with spinal cord injury(SCI). Methods A total of 40 female adult Wistar rats were selected and divided into four groups randomly(10 rats in each group).The former two groups were locomotor function observation groups,in which rat model with spinal cord was established by striking with improved self-made Allen's strike equipment to fabricate moderate spinal cord injury and divided into transplantation group and control group.The latter two were histological observation groups,the spinal cord injury model was fabricated by the same above-mentioned method and divided into transplantation and control groups.Before fabricating the spinal cord injury model,the microglia of the newborn rats were cultured,separated,purified and identified and the purity of the microglia determined.The injury position was exposed again seven days after transplantation and the cell suspension of microglia was injected around the injury position with microsyringe,which was free in the control group.The hindlimb locomotor function of rats was detected and scored at 1 day,1,2,3 and 4 weeks in the locomotor function observation groups after transplantation respectively.At the same time,two rats were extracted randomly from the control group and the transplantation group in histological observation groups to cut specimen and slice for Naoumenko-Feign paraffin section and dying.Then,the microglia were observed and counted by microscope and analyzed statistically. Results At 1,2,3 and 4 weeks after operation,the BBB score of the control group and the transplantation group was increased gradually with the time.But compared with the control group,transplantation group had higher scores of hindlimb locomotor function at 2,3 and 4 weeks after operation,with statistical difference(P＜0.05).Naoumenko-Feigin paraffin section and dying and microglia counting showed that positive microglia number in the transplantation group was increased more obviously than the control group,with statistical difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Activated microglia transplantation can promote the recovery of the hindlimb locomotor function in SCI rats.

Objective To investigate the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression level by chondrocytes isolated from patients with osteoarthritis (OA) in hip or femoral neck fracture (FNF) and explore the effect of synovial fluid from OA or FNF on secretion of VEGF. Methods The cartilage tissues were collected from 12 patients with OA in hip and 8 patients with FNF. Cartilage was stained with HIM and Safranin O/Fast Green (S/F) method. The damage of cartilage was evaluated using Mankin scores.Cathepsin B which was selected for cell dedifferentiation monitoring marker and VEGF level was detected in the supernatant fluid. The synovial fluid from OA, FNF and DMEM were respectively added to the culture medium to explore their effects on regulating VEGF. Results Cartilage the Mankin scores of OA group were higher than that of FNF group. Chondrocytes gradually lost their original spherical appearance, with Cathepsin B upregulated while VEGF downregulated. The OA synovial fluid can stimulate chongdrocytes to secrete more VEGF than the one from patients with FNF. However, chondrocytes gradually produced less VEGF after passaging. Conclusion Mankin scores had good correlation with chondrocytes' VEGF production in the early stage of primary culture. Chondrocytes showed quick dedifferentiation characteristics in vitro. OA synovial fluid showed abig ger capability in stimulating chondrocytes to express more VEGF, which might indicate that OA synovial fluid participated in the pathological process of OA.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for further implementation and perfection of National Essential Medicine Sys-tem. METHODS:Stratified random sampling method was used to select 252 doctors from Sichuan Luzhou. Questionnaire survey was performed among them about recognition and behavior of them to National Essential Medicine System. Related investigation da-ta was analyzed statistically. RESULTS:A total of 252 questionnaires were issued and 243 valid questionnaires were collected with effective recovery rate of 96.4%. Of 242 respondents who had heard of National Essential Medicine System,the respondents who had heard but not clear occupied the highest percentage (52.1%). Of 149 participants who had participated in national essential medicine knowledge training or study,the proportion ofonly one knowledge training or studywas the highest(57.0%). The sur-vey respondents had a maximum of 45.0% and a minimum of 16.5% of common sense about National Essential Medicine System. After the implementation of National Essential Medicine System,respondents often propagandized National Essential Medicine Sys-tem to diagnosis and treatment objects accounted for only 23.1%. The proportion ofno changechosen for items of work motiva-tion,work efficiency and workload was the highest (all occupied 58.3%);the proportion oflittle influencechosen for item of clinical medication habit was the highest(38.8%). 86.4% of respondents were willing to give priority to the use of national essen-tial medicines;the top 4 reasons wereto obtain training and guidance on the use of essential medicinesto set utilization rate of essential medicines in primary health care institutionsto strengthen the propaganda of National Essential Medicine Systemto evaluate physician's prescriptions regularly. 13.6% were not willing to give priority to the use of national essential medicines;the top 4 reasons werelack of the confidence of the use of national essential medicinespoor accessibility of essential medicinesfear of medical accidents due to prescription essential medicines,lead to medical disputesdon't know what is essential medi-cine. CONCLUSIONS:The primary physicians'perceptions of National Essential Medicine System and the implementation of the System in Luzhou need to be strengthened. The main reason is that few national essential medicine knowledge training or study and poor effects. That the government's supporting poli-cy is not perfect may be one of reasons.

Objective To establish rat models of extrahepatic biliary atresia,and to observe the characteristics of 99Tcm-MIBI hepatobiliary scintigraphy and evaluate its association with the expression Pglycoprotein (P-gp) in intestinal tissues.Methods A total of 12 SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group (3 rats) and the group of common bile duct ligation (CBDL;9 rats).CBDL was used to establish the rat model of extrahepatic biliary atresia.99Tcm-MIBI hepatobiliary scintigraphy was performed at 2,3 and 4 weeks after ligation in the CBDL group and normal control group with continuous dynamic acquisition (3 min/frame) for 30 min and then delaying imaging at 30 min,1,2 and 3 h.After that,all rats were sacrificed,and the blood samples were taken out for the determination of serum ALT,AST,TBIL,DBIL,IBIL,ALP,γ-GT and TBA,and the tissues of duodenum,jejunum,ileum,colon and cecum were taken out for analyzing the expression level of P-gp by immunohistochemistry.Two-sample t test and one-way analysis of variance were used.Results Compared with the normal control group,the serum levels of ALT,AST,TBIL,DBIL,IBIL,ALP,γ-GT and TBA were significantly increasing at 2,3,4 weeks after ligation in CBDL group (t:-3.04 to-44.54,all P＜0.05).99Tcm-MIBI hepatobiliary imaging showed that there was radioactive accumulation in colon or cecum area,excluding the duodenum,jejunum and ileum area,at 3 h after intravenous injection of 99Tcm-MIBI in CBDL group.The results of immunohistochemistry showed that with the obstruction time prolonged,the expression levels of P-gp in duodenum,jejunum and ileum segments were gradually decreased (F=5.17,9.07,23.52;all P＜0.05),while the expression levels in the colon and cecum segments were not changed obviously (F=2.00,3.17;both P＞0.05).Conclusion 99Tcm-MIBI can be excreted through intestinal mucosa,and this process may be associated with P-gp expression.

Parkinson's disease(PD)is a degenera-tive disease of the central nervous system characterized by the loss of dopamine(DA)neurons in the dense sub-stantia nigra and the depletion of DA neurons.Clinically,the treatment of PD is mainly supplementing dopamine deficiency or using DA receptor agonists,but these drugs can only alleviate the symptoms of PD patients,but cannot prevent neuronal loss and delay disease progres-sion.Natural bioactive polysaccharides have the advan-tages of multi-target,low toxicity and synergistic effect,and have great potential in the prevention and treatment of PD.Numerous studies have shown that polysaccha-rides can be involved in neuronal protection and preven-tion of neurodegenerative diseases through mechanisms such as oxidative stress,reducing neuroinflammation,and inhibiting anti-apoptosis.①Anti-oxidative stress.Oxi-dative stress is caused by increased reactive oxygen spe-cies(ROS)products and weakened antioxidant capacity,resulting in destruction of lipids,proteins,and DNA.Oxi-dative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to be an important cause of DA neuronal loss in PD mice.Polysaccharides reduce the damage of DA neurons in the substantia nigra by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes and inhibiting the formation of reactive oxygen species.② Reduce neuroinflammation.Neuroinflamma-tory response is the main causative factor of neurodegener-ation,microglia are innate immune cells present in the central nervous system,and their continuous activation is a key link in central nervous system neuroinflammation.Polysaccharides can regulate the expression of inflamma-somes,reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cytotoxic factors,inhibit the excessive activation of microglia,reduce PD neuroinflammatory damage,and then exert neuroprotective effects.③ Inhibiting apopto-sis.Apoptosis(APO)is the process of cell death caused by the activation of cell death procedures by various fac-tors.During the pathogenesis of PD,due to changes in the internal and external environment of DA neurons,some apoptosis-related genes cause DA neuronal death by regulating cell death signaling pathways.Polysaccha-rides can reduce the Bax/Bcl2 ratio,weaken the activa-tion of caspase-related proteins,improve the viability of PC12 cells,reduce apoptosis,and protect the activity of dopamine neurons.In summary,traditional Chinese med-icine polysaccharides can effectively treat and improve PD,and its mechanism of action involves anti-oxidative stress,reducing neuroinflammation and apoptosis.There-fore,traditional Chinese medicine polysaccharides have great development potential in the field of medicine and health.

Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy is a common and frequently-occurring disease in the clinical department of orthopedics.It has the highest incidence of cervical spondylosis and has been classified as a difficult disease by the World Health Organization.Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy mainly manifests as root symptoms and signs consistent with the diseased segment,and the symptoms of stiffness,pain and numbness,which seriously affect the physical and mental health and life quality of patients.In clinical practice,the symptoms of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy can be alleviated by physical therapy,acupuncture,etc.Therefore,searching for more effective treatments has become a hot topic of current researches.Manipulations have the advantages of simple operation,quickness,quick effect and high recognition degree,and can achieve therapeutic purpose by improving the dynamic and static balance of cervical spines,correcting joint dislocation and improving blood circulation.Among them,the curative effect of rotational manipulations is more remarkable.The researches on rotational manipulations by domestic and foreign scholars mainly focus on the in vitro and in vivo biomechanics of cervical spines,and the biomechanical researches on the rotational manipulation itself were different.At present,the mechanical research on the rotational manipulation is still in the development stage,and there is no clear conclusion on the similarities and differences of the mechanical parameters and their influence on the mechanical environment of the cervical spine.In this paper,the research progress of biomechanical properties of cervical spine rotational manipulation was summarized to provide a theoretical basis for the mechanism of the rotational manipulation treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between degrees of biliary obstruction and levels of lipid peroxidation in patients.Methods:A total of 140 patients of both sexes, with biliary obstruction, without biliary puncture and drainage, aged 40-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-23.9 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, were selected.The patients with different degrees of biliary obstruction were divided into 4 groups ( n=35 each) according to Child-Pugh grade total bilirubin (TBIL) concentrations: group A (TBIL<17 μmol/L), group B (17 μmol/L≤TBIL<34 μmol/L), group C (34 μmol/L≤TBIL<51 μmol/L) and group D (TBIL≥51 μmol/L). The serum TBIL, direct bilirubin (DBIL), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bile acid (TBA) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations were measured.The correlation between serum MDA concentration and degree of biliary obstruction was tested by Spearman correlation analysis. Results:Compared with group A and group B, the serum DBIL, IBIL, ALT, AST, TBA and MDA concentrations were significantly increased in group C and group D ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the parameters mentioned above between group A and group B ( P>0.05). Compared with group C, the serum DBIL, IBIL, ALT, AST, TBA and MDA concentrations were significantly increased in group D ( P<0.05). Serum MDA concentration was positively correlated with degree of biliary obstruction ( r=0.54, P<0.05). Conclusion:The degree of biliary obstruction can reflect the level of lipid peroxidation in patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of avatrombopag combined with recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) versus avatrombopag in the treatment of severe thrombocytopenia associated with chronic liver disease.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 56 patients with severe thrombocytopenia associated with chronic liver disease who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from May 2020 to October 2021 were collected. There were 36 males and 20 females, aged from 33 to 74 years, with a median age of 54 years. Of 56 patients, 21 cases undergoing treatment of avatrombopag combined with rhTPO were allocated into the combined treatment group and 35 cases undergoing treatment of avatrombopag were allocated into the monotherapy group. Observation indicators: (1) changes of platelet after treatment; (2) adverse drug reaction. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect changes of platelet and effects of treatment within 2 weeks after treatment. The follow-up was up to October 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and compari-son between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Repeated measurement data were analyzed using the repeated ANOVA. Results:(1) Changes of platelet after treatment. The platelet level within 1 to 5 days and 6 to 10 days after treatment in the combined treatment group were (35±19)×10 9/L and (73±41)×10 9/L, respectively. The above indicators of the monotherapy group were (40±30)×10 9/L and (70±51)×10 9/L, respectively. There was no significant difference in change trends of platelet before and after treatment between the two groups ( Fgroup=0.30, P>0.05). There was a significant difference in platelet count before and after treatment between the two groups ( Ftime=59.96, P<0.05). There was no interaction effect in change trends of platelet between the two groups ( Finteraction=0.40, P>0.05). The effective rates were 66.67%(14/21) in the combination therapy group and 54.29%(19/35) in the monotherapy group. There was no significant difference in the effective rate between the two groups ( χ2=0.83, P>0.05). (2) Adverse drug reaction. Cases with headache, dizziness, blood transfusion reaction, hematuria, proteinuria, fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dyspepsia, fatigue, nausea or peripheral tissue edema were 2, 4, 1, 2, 2, 7, 10, 6, 8, 14, 12, 5 in the combined treatment group, versus 5, 8, 1, 3, 5, 7, 19, 11,20, 19, 14, 5 in the monotherapy group, respectively. There was no significant difference in cases with headache, dizziness, blood transfusion reaction, hematuria, proteinuria between the two groups ( P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in cases with fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dyspepsia, fatigue, nausea, peripheral tissue edema between the two groups ( χ2=1.24, 0.23, 0.05, 1.91, 0.83, 2.04, 0.81, P>0.05). Conclusion:Both of avatrombopag combined with rhTPO and monotherapy of avatrom-bopag can be used to promote the platelet level in patients with severe thrombocytopenia associated with chronic liver disease, and avatrombopag combined with rhTPO does not provide better clinical benefits compared with monotherapy avatrombopag.
