Objective To investigate the morphological characteristics of the intervertebral foramina and their alterations in the process of disc height loss in low lumbar spine in order to provide basic data for the diagnosis and treatment of foraminal stenosis. Methods Eight fresh cadaveric lumbar spines of L3 to S1 were obtained for study, which were cleaned off their surrounding muscles and kept the ligaments, annulus fibrous and nerve roots attached. The morphological characteristics of foramina of L4,5 and L5S1 and their anatomic relationships with the nerve roots were observed with and without nucleus pulposus in situ under different loading conditions (0, 300, 500 N). The foraminal dimensions including heights, maximal widths and minimal widths were measured, and the disc heights were measured on lateral radiograph under above loading conditions as well. Results Without any loading, the foramina were inverted teardrop shaped, the foramina of L4,5 were similar to that of L5S1. The nerve roots were located in the upper part of the foramina, and passed across the foramina obliquely. With 500 N loading, the shapes of the foramina and the relationships with the nerve roots were found to be changed little. After removal of nucleus pulposus and more loading was applied, the foramina became stenotic gradually and the nerve roots were pushed against the superior pedicle. The foraminal heights, maximal widths and the anterior, posterior disc heights became narrower, and were significantly different from those under no loading condition (P

The main objective of this research is to investigate the effects of astragaloside IV, calycosin separately glucoside, formononetin on oxidative stress in Chang Liver cells induced by H2O2. In the experiments, Chang Liver cells (a kind of normal human hepatocytes) were used as the research object, bifendate which has a clear hepatoprotective effect was used as the positive control drug, then the oxidative damage model of Chang Liver cells were established by H2O2. Cells were divided into six groups: blank control group, oxidative stress group, astragaloside IV group, calycosin separately glucoside group, formononetin group and positive control group. Then endogenous antioxidant system related indexes were detected by micro plate and colorimetric method; intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe; and the expressions of CYP2E1 were evaluated by liver microsomes, mRNA, and protein, respectively with spectrophotometry, Real-time PCR method, and Western blot technique. Results showed that H2O2 decreased antioxidant activity, and increased ROS level and expression of CYP2E1. The above oxidative stress status had been changed with protections of the three components of Astragalus membranaceus (compared with oxidative stress group, P < 0.05, P < 0.01), which taken as a whole had equivalent effects as the drug of positive control group( bifendate). Taken together, three Astragalus membranaceus ingredients all had significant or extremely significant inhibiting effects on oxidative damaged Chang Liver cells which were induced by H2O2, and the oxidative damage of Chang Liver cells had been relieved.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of dexrazoxane combined with Shenmai injection in the treatment of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in patients with breast cancer. METHODS:120 female breast cancer patients were randomly divided into group A,B,C and D with 30 cases in each group. Group A was given CAF chemotherapy plan(cyclophos-phamide 75 mg/m2+fluorouracil 500 mg/m2 + doxorubicin 60 mg/m2),ivgtt;group B was additionally given Shenmai injection 50 ml,qd,ivgtt,on the basis of CAF plan;group C was additionally given rapid intravenous of dexrazoxane 60 mg/m2 30 min before chemotherapy,on the basis of CAF;group D was additionally given constant dose of dexrazoxane combine with Shenmai injection on the basis of CAF plan. A treatment course lasted for 3 weeks,they were given 4 courses in total. The change of ECG,LVEF, cTnT and BNP and the incidence of bone marrow suppression were observed before and after chemotherapy. RESULTS:After treat-ment,the rate of abnormal ECG,LVEF value,cTnT value and BNP value of groups B,C and D were all decreased significant-ly,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Compared with group D,above index of groups B and C were decreased significantly, with statistical significance(P<0.05). The incidence of bone marrow suppression was in ascending order,group D

Objective To detect 14 genes including fibrillin-1(FBN1) and so on mutations in 17 patients with Marfan syndrome(MFS) and family members of 2 patients and to investigate the correlation between FBN1 gene mutation and MFS.Methods Genomic DNAs were extracted from whole blood sample of 17 patients and 43 family members.After DNA samples were amplified by polymerase chain raction(PCR), we used capture panels to get target genes which would be sequenced by Illumina HiSeq2500 Analyzers(Illumina, SanDiego, USA).The target genes included ACTA2、CBS、FBN1、FBN2、MYH11、COL3A1、SMAD3、TGFBR1、TGFBR2、MYLK、MSTN、COLA2、TGFB2 and SLC2A10.The results of sequencing would be compared with multiple databases, including NCBI dbSNP, HapMap, 1000 human genome dataset and database of 100 Chinese healthy adults, to find gene mutation.Finally, these mutations would be validated using conventional Sanger sequencing methods.Results A total of 10 FBN1 mutations and 1 actin alpha2(ACTA2) mutation in 17 patients were identified, of which 8 FBN1 mutations and 1 ACTA2 mutation were novel.One FBN1 mutation was underwent family investigation and we found in this family, all patients had this mutation and others did not have it.Conclusion Missense mutation of c.7280G>A in the 59th exon of FBN1 gene is new pathogenic mutation for MFS.The other 8 novel mutations may be the pathogenic factors of MFS.

Objective To evaluate the methods,applicability and results of cndovascular therapy for Stanford type B aortic dissection.Methods The clinical data of 36 cases of Stanford type B aortic dissection were analysed retrospectively.The stent-grafts were introduced via femoral arteriotomy.Stent-grafts were implanted to blockade tears of aortic dissection under the guidance of DSA.Results In all cases,the aortic dissection tears were blockaded,true lumens were opened,and organs function was restored.There were not complications such as internal hemorrhage due to trauma or stent displacement on CTA 3 and 12 months after endovascular therapywhile 2 cases developed new tears.The caliber of the 36 true lumens was restored to near normal.Twenty-two pseudocoeloms were obliterated,while the others were reduced is size and had varying degrees of thrombosis.Conclusions Endovascular thcrapy is safe and effectivc for the patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection.Its clinical application has a favorable outlook.
