Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(08):-
Objective:To investigate the effects of Urocortin-postconditioning on mitochondria-dependentapoptotic pathway.Methods: 24 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=8):Control group(CON),I/R group(I/R),Urocortin group(UCN).The left ventricular samples in the Control group were collected as pre-ischemia controls through thoracotomy.After isolated heart Langendoff and Neely models were established,the rat hearts in the I/R group and the UCN group were continuously perfused with Krebs-Henseleit (K-H)buffersolution for 30 min,then the rat hearts were arrested by cardioplegia,St.Thomas-2 solution(STH-2)for 30min.After that,the rat hearts in the I/R group were reperfused with K-H buffer solution for 90 min.The rat hearts in the UCN group were reperfused with K-H buffer solution containing 10-8 mol/L Urocortin for 90 min.The releasing of Cyto C protein into cytosol was detected by Western blot.The expression of Caspase-3 protein in cardiomyocyte was detected by immunohistochemical assay.The apoptosis index (AI)of cardiomyocyte was detected by TUNEL.Results:Compared with Control group,the expression ofCaspase-3 and Cyto Cprotein in the I/R group and the UCN group were significantly increased(P

Background Glaucoma is common blinding eye diseases characterized by chronic loss of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs).Currently glaucoma pathogenesis is not completely understood,heat shock protein 27 ( HSP27 )may be associated with the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Objective Through the establishment of a rat model of high intraocular pressure,detection of the expression of HSP27 antibody in serum and RGCs apoptosis to investigate the role of HSP27 in RGCs apoptosis. Methods Fifty-one clean Wistar rats were divided into high intraocular pressure group (34 rats)and sham operation group( 17 rats)using a random number table.An animal model of high intraocular pressure was established in the right eye by the application of bipolar underwater electrocoagulation on vein of sclera surface in the experimental group,and rats with conjunctiva incision only without electric coagulation were served as sham operation (control).The intraocular pressure of rats of the both groups including experimental and control rats was measured 1,2,4,6,8 weeks after operation and then the rats were sacrificed.1 ml serum was collected from these rats to determine the concentration of HSP27 antibody.The retinas of the rats were isolated and homogenated for the extraction and analysis of the retinal protein by Western blot.Apoptosis of RGCs were assayed by TUNEL.The use of the experimental animals followed the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by Kunming Medical Collegc. Results Intraocular pressure was elevated significantly after modeling and remained a high value during the expcrimental duration,showing a significant difference among the different groups ( F =318.502,P<0.01 ).However,no significant change in intraocular pressure before and after operation in the sham-operation group ( F =2.076,P > 0.05 ).The serum concentration of HSP27 antibody was increased significantly overtime from 1,2,4,6 to 8 weeks after the surgery applied,with a significant difference among various time points( F =154.221,P<0.01 ),but no obvious difference was seen in the shamoperation group( F =0.422,P>0.05 ).Importantly,Apoptosis rate of RGCs in the experimental eyes was significant higher as the time prolong after intraocular elevated(x2=856.12,P<0.05 ).The positive rate of RGCs apoptosis in the rats with high intraocular pressure group was elevated significantly compared to the rats in the sham operation group(P<0.05). Conclusions High intraocular pressure induces the expressions of HSP27 in retina and the accumulation of HSP27 antibody in rats serum;the elevated HSP27 is associated with the increased cell death in RGCs.

The effects of polytetrafluoroethylene (e PTFE) membrane on periodontal ligament cell (PDLC) growth and periodontal tissues and new cement regeneration were studied, and the prospects of clinical application of e PTFE membrane were discussed. The results showed that PDLC grew well on the e PTFE membrane and no toxicity or inhibition was found. Close adhesion of the cells to the membrane was observed by scanning electron microscope. Histological studies suggested that the peculiar porous structure of e PTFE membrane protects and promotes healing of alveolar bone defect when the membrane edge was sealed perfectly on the crown side,exhibiting inhibition of growth of epithelium towards tooth root. The membrane was beneficial to regeneration of new alveolar bone and cement and establishment of new adhesion,and was regarded as a good substitute of old materials.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2017;21(19):3038-3043
BACKGROUND: Kyphosis in ankylosing spondylitis is sagittal or coronal imbalance, but there is a lack of study on its orthopedic biomechanics, and biomechanics is of great significance for the reconstruction of spinal stability after orthopedic surgery.OBJECTIVE: To establish a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of kyphosis in ankylosing spondylitis treated by osteotomy on software, and to analyze its biomechanical properties, thus providing theoretical basis for clinical practice.METHODS: A 3D finite element model of kyphosis in ankylosing spondylitis was established based on CT data, and the predetermined angle of the osteotomy at L2 was measured. Afterwards, vertebral column decancellation and vertebral column resection were stimulated, and then the biomechanical parameters were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The 3D finite element models of kyphosis in ankylosing spondylitis treated by vertebral column decancellation or vertebral column resection at L3 were established successfully. (2) The stress on the screw and contact at each segment in the vertebral column decancellation group was significantly higher than that in the vertebral column resection group except for S1. (3) To conclude, both two methods can reconstruct the sagittal balance,but vertebral column decancellation exhibits significantly higher stress on the screw. Indeed, the incidence of internal fixation failure and complications in vertebral column decancellation is higher than that in vertebral column resection at the same segment and angle.
