Objective To disclose the relationship of the target muscle function and different time interval after nerve grafting reconstructed C5 root resection in young rats.Methods Model of C5 resection was set up in 48 18-day-old SD rats.The rats were randomly divided into C5 resection group,immediate repairing group,3 days delayed repairing group,and 6,9,12,15,18 days delayed repairing groups.Each group experienced nerve grafting bridged the C5 nerve root defection at its time interval.At 6 weeks postoperatively,electrophysiological and histochemical experiment were performed.Results There was no statistical difference among the data of CMAP amplitude and latency and weight of target muscles and number of distal myelinated fiber of immediate repairing group and those of 3,6 days delayed repair group at 6 weeks postoperatively,but compared with C5 resection group,the dates was statistically higher.There was no statistical difference between the data of C5 resection group and that of 15,18 days delayed repairing group.Conclusion Nerve reconstruction for C5 root injury in young rats within 0-6 days (equal to 0-4 months in human beings) has a satisfactory protective effect on target muscles.It suggests that the OBPP children who have the operation indication should undergo surgical management in 4 months after their birth.

Objective To disclose the relationship of neuronal protective effect and different time interval after nerve grafting reconstructed C5 root resection in young rats.Methods Model of C5 resection was set up in 18-day-old SD rats from Jauary 2009 to December 2009.Forty-eight rats with C5 resection were randomly divided into C5 resection group,immediate repairing group,three days delayed repairing group,and 6,9,12,15,18 days delayed repairing groups.Each group experienced nerve grafting bridged the C5 nerve root defection at its time interval.At 4 weeks postoperatively,the numbers of True Blue positively labeled neurons in all groups were counted respectively.Results There was no statistical difference among the number of proxinal neuron of immediate repairing group and those of 3,6 days delayed repair group (P ＞ 0.05),but compared with C5 resection group,the number of neurons was statistically higher (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical difference between the number of motoneurons of immediate repairing group and that of 9 days delayed repairing group(P ＞ 0.05),but there was statistical difference between sensory neurons of this two groups(P ＜ 0.05).The neuron number of inmediate repairing group was statistically higher than those of 12,15,18 days delayed repairing group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Nerve reconstruction for C5 root injury in young rats within 0-9days (equal to 0-6 months in human beings) has a satisfactory protective effect on proximal neuron.It suggests that the OBPP children who have the operation indication should undergo surgical management in 6 months after their birth.

Objective To investigate the effect of nerve grafting to enzyme histochemical changes on neurons after brachinal plexus nerve in jury in young rats. Methods Model of C5 resection was set up in 24 18-day-old SD rats. Experimental animals were divided in to two groups, one group for C5 resection, another for nerve grafting in repairing the C5 defection. At 4 weeks postoperatively, cholinesterase (CHE) and acidphosphatase (ACP) histochemical stain of neurons in C5 anterior horn and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were detected. Results Compared with C5 resection group, bio-activity of CHE of C5 repairing group was statistically higher, and that of ACP was statistically lower. Conclusion Nerve grafting has protective effect on survival of neurons after brachial plexus nerve injury in young rats.

Objective To investigate the difference of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and its receptor content of proximal neurons after nerve grafting was used to reconstruct C5 root in young rats.Methods Model of C5 resection was set up in 12 18-day-old SD rats.Experimental animals were divided in to two groups, one group for C5 resection, another for nerve grafting to reconstruct the C5 defection.At 4 weeks postoperatively, the immunohistochemical staining was performed and the number of GDNF and GFRa1 immunohistochemical positive neurons were calculated respectively.Results The number of GDNF positive neurons in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion of C5 repairing group was 786.3 ± 176.84 and 2997.0 ±357.99, and that of C5 resection group was 335.0 ± 49.50 and 1632.0 ± 305.55.On the other hand, the number of GFRa1 positive neurons in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion of C5 repairing group was 787.5 ±178.55 and 3111.0 ± 445.72, that of the other group was 397.3 ± 41.78 and 1588.3 ± 229.00.The statistical analysis result showed GDNF and GFR immunohistochemical positive neurons in spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion of C5 repairing group was statistically more than that of C5 resection group(P < 0.01 ).Conclusion The neuronal protective effect of nerve grafting after reconstructing brachial plexus nerve injury in young rats may be attributed to the increase of GDNF and its receptor GFRa1 content of proximal neuron.

Objective To evaluate the role of P2X3 receptors in dorsal root ganglion in development of incisional pain in rats.Methods Twenty-four healthy male SD rats weighing 200-220 g were randomly divided into 3 groups(n = 8 each): control group(group C),incisional pain(group IP)and P2X3 receptor antagonist + IP group(group A).In group IP and A,a 1 cm longitudinal incision was made in the plantar surface of left hindpaw according to the method described by Brennan et al.in isoflurane-anesthetized rats.P2X3 receptor antagonist TNP-ATP 200 nmol was injected into the plantar surface of left hindpaw 30 min after plantar incision was made in group A,while equal volume of normal saline was given instead of TNP-ATP in group C and IP.The behavior of the hindpaw of the rats were assessed using cumulative pain score within 1 h after injection.The animals were sacri ficed 2 h after injection and the dorsal root ganglion was removed for determination of P2X3 receptor expression and intracellular Ca2+ concentrations.ResultsThe cumulative pain scores,P2X3 receptor expression and Ca2 + concentrations were significantly higher in group IP and A than in group C(P ＜ 0.05).The cumulative pain scores,P2X3 receptor expression and Ca2+ concentrations were significantly lower in group A than in group IP(P ＜0.05).Conclusion P2X3 receptors in dorsal root ganglion is involved in the development of incisional pain through increasing intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in rats.

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.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors associate with apex or basal positive surgical margins in patients after radical prostatectomy.Methods:During the period from January 2013 to December 2017, data was collected in 180 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy in Urological department of Peking University Cancer Hospital. Surgical margins were stated negative, positive, apex positive, basal positive. Dichotomous logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the age, total prostate volume, biopsy positive cores, D’Amico risk classification, tumor pathology stage, Gleason score, tPSA, f/tPSA and pelvic lymph nodes metastasis with the PSMs.Results:PSMs were detected in 97 cases, including 78 cases with positive apex, 51 cases with positive basal, and 83 cases with negative margin, the PSMs proportion was 53.9%. In univariable analysis, pT 3b( OR=6.871, P=0.010), pT 4( OR=12.13, P<0.05), Gleason≥8( OR=4.989, P=0.005), pelvic lymph nodes metastasis( OR=9.516, P=0.043) associated with higher proportion of PSMs. In multivariable analysis, pT 3b( OR=5.782, P=0.030), pT 4( OR=10.15, P<0.05), Gleason≥8( OR=11.13, P=0.012) were the independent factors positively associated with higher proportion of PSMs. In univariable analysis, pT 3b( OR=4.040, P=0.026), Gleason≥8( OR=2.390, P=0.010) associated with higher proportion of apex positive. In multivariable analysis, Gleason≥8 ( OR=1.980, P=0.030) was the only independent factor associated with higher proportion of apex positive. In univariable analysis, D’Amico high risk ( OR=1.847, P=0.035), pT 4 ( OR=1.780, P=0.001) associated with higher proportion of basal positive. In multivariable analysis, D’Amico high risk ( OR=1.540, P=0.041) was the only independent factor associated with higher proportion of basal positive. Conclusions:In patients radical prostatectomy, pathology staging and Gleason score were associated with positive surgical margins.Gleason score was associated with positive apex margins, and D’Amico risk classification was associated with positive basal margins.

The accurate location of acupoints is the prerequisite for the efficacy of acupuncture-moxibustion. Bone-length measurement, bone-proportional measurement, and proportional unit of the body measurement are commonly used in clinic for acupoints location. Based on the systematic review of the ancient literatures, this article discussed the meaning, evolution and relations of bone-length measurement, bone-proportional measurement, and proportional unit of the body measurement. It’s concluded that the bone-length measurement should be a benchmark in ancient anthropometry and an important basis for acupoints location. Bone proportional measurement, used in different genders, ages and body sizes, was based on the relatively stable proportional relations of various body parts, though some of the standards were adjusted in accordance with the correlation between meridians and acupoints. Location of points by proportional unit of the body simplified the application of bone-length measurement and bone proportional measurement, based on the ratio between short and long bones or the ratio of same body parts in anthropometry. However, proportional unit of the body measurement should be applied for the specific body parts. Bone-length measurement, bone-proportional measurement, and proportional unit of the body measurement are correspondingly the benchmark measurement, relative measurement, and simplified measurement.

To produce specific antibodies against malachite green ( MG) , one special hapten was synthesized and characterized, and conjugated to carrier protein as immunogen. The immunogen showed excellent reactogenicity and immunogenicity. One specific monoclonal antibody (mAb, named MG-DA4-C7) with high sensitivity and specificity for MG in indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay ( icELISA ) was screened. The isotype was IgG1 and the light chain was κ type. After optimization of ELISA conditions, the proposed icELISA showed a 50% inhibition value ( IC50 ) of 0. 96 μg/L, a linear range ( IC20-IC80 ) of 0. 1-8. 1 μg/L and a limit of detection ( LOD, IC10 ) of 0. 05 μg/L for determination of MG. The assay showed cross-reactivity of 18. 1%, 26. 5% with crystal violet and brilliant green, respectively, and negligible cross-reactivity with other metabolites of MG (<0 . 1%) . The average recoveries of MG from spiked fish samples were from 87. 3% to 107. 3%. Good correlation (R2=0. 999) was obtained between the results of icELISA and those of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The proposed icELISA is suitable for the determination of MG in fish samples in a simple and sensitive manner.
