Objective To detect whether there is neurotropism following end-to-side neurorrhaphy by means of the neuron retrograde tracing technique. Methods Forty female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: tracing main branch of musculcutaneous nerve(MC) of end-to-side group, tracing MC main branch of normal group, tracing MC motor branch of end-to-side group and tracing MC motor branch of normal group.In two end-to-side groups, the MC was transeeted, then an 1 mm epineukral window was created on the ulnar nerve. Distal end of MC nerve was sutured to the windowed ulnar nerve by means of end-to-side neurorrhaphy.In two normal control groups, MC and ulnar nerves were just exposed. Five months post operation, by means of retrograde Fluoro-Gold neuron tracing technique,the number of C5~ T1 anterior horn motoneurons and dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons of all groups were counted. Results In two tracing MC main branch groups: the motor neuron counts in end-to-side group was 245.2 ± 93.8, the motor neuron counts in normal group was 846.7 ± 264.8, and counts of end-to-side group was 30.0% of the normal control group (P< 0.01). The sensory neuron counts in end-to-side was 434.7 ± 160.4, the sensory neuron counts in normal group was 1545.2 ± 287.4, and counts of end-to-side group was 28.1% of the normal control group (P < 0.01). The per-centage of motor neuron in end-to-side group was 0.36 ± 0.09, there was no difference between end-to-side group and normal control group(P> 0.05). In two tracing MC motor branch groups: the motor neuron counts in end-to-side group was 72.3 ± 35.3, the motor neuron counts in normal group was 189.7 ± 57.0, and counts of end-to-side group was 38.1% of the normal control group (P < 0.01). The sensory neuron counts in end-to-side was 110.8 ± 52.5, the sensory neuron counts in normal group was 157.9 ± 50.0, and counts of end-to-side group was 70.2% of the normal control group (P > 0.05). The percentage of motor neuron in end-to-side group was 0.40 ± 0.14, the difference between end-to-side group and normal control group was signifieant(P < 0.01 ). Conclusion Neurotropism in collateral spouting after end-to-side neurorrhaphy is not significant.

ObjectiveTo investigate the selective mechanism of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)for osteoblast via ERβ. Methods High expression of ERβ in hMG63-ERβ group ( infected with pWPTERβ), gene silencing of ERβ in hMG63-shERβ group (infected with pLVTHM-GFP/ERβ-shRNA) and hMG,63 group (control) were cultured and treated with 1 × 10-7 mol/L DHEA, with or without U0126 and etoposide. The proliferation and apoptosis of hMG63 were evaluated by flow cytometry. The mRNA level of estrogen receptor subtype was detected by reverse transcription-PCR. ResultsThe expression of ERβ in hMG63-ERβ group and hMG63-shERβ group were increased 7. 39 times and decreased 17% compared with that in hMG63 group (control). DHEA could increase ERβ expression in hMG63 in each group, however, it did not influence the expression of ERα mRNA. When the level of ERβ was high, DHEA could accelerate the proliferation [proliferation index were ( 81.6 ± 7.6) % in hMG,63-ERβ, ( 75.0 ± 5.3 ) % in hMG63, P < 0. 05]and inhibit the apoptosis [apoptosis rate were ( 12.2 ± 1.6) % in hMG63-ERβ, ( 14. 6 ± 1.5 ) %in hMG63, P <0. 0 1], which was blocked by U0126 [proliferation index were (33. 2 ± 2. 0)% in hMG63-ERβ, (41.2 ± 2. 4) % in hMG63, apoptosis rate were (40. 5 ± 4. 3 ) % in hMG63-ERβ, (43.3 ± 4. 1 ) %in hMG63, all P <0. 05]. When the expression of ERβ was silenced, DHEA could not inhibit the apoptosis of hMG63 anymore. ConclusionDHEA selectively act on osteoblasts via the dominant expression of ERβ.

Objective To compare the result differences of different dynamic nerves transferring to different segments of the radial nerve. Methods From 1997 to 2000, different ways of intercostal nerves or contralataral C 7 transfering to different segments of the radial nerves were carried out in 36 cases with total avulsed brachial plexus injuries that were followed up for average 42.39 months. Four-fold table was selected to statistically calculate the effective rate of muscle strength recovery. Results The total effective rate was 56% (20/36). The effective rate of the functional rehabilitation of elbow extension was 5/8 in the group with neurotization to radial nerve trunk and 4/4 in the group with neurotization to branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle of radial nerve. The highest effective rate up to 75% (9/12) of the functional rehabilitation of wrist and digit extension belonged to the group with contralateral C 7 transferring to the radial nerve segment in the humeral spiral groove where branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle had already diverged. Conclusions The way of neurotization to radial nerve trunk and to branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle of the radial nerve can win good functional rehabilitation of elbow extension. Contralataral C 7 transfering to the radial nerve segment in the humeral spiral groove ranks the best way for function recovery of the wrist extension. Age below 30 years and operation interval less than 12 months are helpful for functional rehabilitation of the radial nerve.
