Objective To explore neural plasticity around an injured region of the spinal cord and the effects of step training on functional recovery after incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats ( n = 24) were induced with spinal cord contusion at T10 and divided into a step training group and a control group ( 12 rats in each). Training started from the 7th day post-injury and lasted for (20 ± 10)min per day, 5 days per week, for 9 weeks. Treadmill speeds were 3 m/min at the beginning, and adjusted daily according to each rat's tolerance up to 11 m/min or more. The functional recovery was measured weekly with the open-field locomotor rating scale of Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB score). The expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neurofilament protein (NF) and growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) in the spinal cord around the injured region were detected. Results After 70 days of step training, the average BBB score of the step training group reached ( 12.86 ± 0.94 ), significantly higher than that of the control group ( 10.71 ± 0.95 ). The expression of NF and GAP-43 around the injured region increased significantly more in the step training group than among the controls. Conclusions Step training can promote functional recovery and neural plasticity in rats after incomplete SCI.

Objective To study the expression changes of placental insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ and Ⅱ (IGF-Ⅰ and IGF-Ⅰ) between pregnancies following the in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and those conceived spontaneously.Methods The placenta were collected from 49 cases of pregnancies after IVF-ET(case group) and 49 cases of pregnancies who were normal (control group).The expressions of IGF-Ⅰ and IGF-Ⅱ mRNA in placenta were detected by reverse transcription-polymeras chain reaction (RT-PCR).The levels of IGF-Ⅰ and IGF-Ⅱ protein were determined by immunohistochemistry.Results The mRNA levels of the placental IGF-Ⅰ and IGF Ⅱ were 0.30 ±0.13 and 0.28 ±0.04 in the IVF-ET group,and 0.65 ±0.10 and 0.91 ±0.26 in the control group.The protein levels of the placental IGF-Ⅰ and IGF-Ⅱ were 0.26 ±0.04 and 0.29 ± 0.05 in the IVF-ET group,and 0.32 ± 0.07 and 0.34 ± 0.04 in the control group.The mRNA and protein expressions of IGF-Ⅰ and IGF-Ⅱ in human placenta were significantly decreased in IVF-ET group compared to control group (P < 0.05).The incidence rate of low birth weight infant in IVF-ET group was significantly higher than control(P > 0.05).Conclusions Expressions of placental IGF-Ⅰ and IGF-Ⅱ in the IVF-ET group did not affect fetal growth and development.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of the application of color Doppler sonography (CDS) and computer tomography angiography (CTA) in preoperative perforator identification and flap design and provide theoretical support for the restoration of oral maxillofacial defect with free superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap (SCIAPF). Methods: (1) Preoperative CDS and CTA techniques were performed to map the SCIA perforators of 29 adult patients diagnosed with malignant tumor in the oral maxillofacial head and neck regions. These patients were scheduled for concurrent reconstruction surgery. (2) A diagnostic test was designed to com-pare the CDS and CTA techniques. Results:(1) A total of 18 patients underwent flap preparation. SCIA was not found in one of the pa-tients during surgery, but was observed intra-operatively in the other 17 patients. The average SCIA diameter was 0.69 ± 0.20 mm. (2) The diagnostic test showed a CDS sensitivity of 75.0%, a CDS specificity of 82.4%, and an area under the ROC curve of 0.79. The CTA sensitivity was 75.0%, the specificity was 94.2%, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.85. The diameters measured by CDS and CTA were compared with the diameter measured intra-operatively. Significant differences were observed among the three diame-ters (P<0.05). The average diameter measured by CDS was 0.84 ± 0.14 mm. The average diameter measured by CTA was 1.01 ± 0.19 mm. Conclusion:CDS and CTA are relatively reliable technologies for preoperative detection of perforator vessel. The use of CDS and CTA technology mapping for SCIAPF can provide accurate information about the perforator, including the position of the perforator and the relationship between the peripheral tissues and the caliber of the vessel.

Objective:To generate sex hormone binding globulin(SHBG) conditional knockout mice model.In order to investigate the physiological function of SHBG in vivo and to provide experimental means for the study of the relationship between SHBG and gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods:The mouse genomic DNA sequence of SHBG was verified through bioinformatic analysis.According to the SHBG genomic DNA sequence,the gene targeting and knockout vector were constructed.Transfection of the vectors to ES cells by electroporation was performed according to common protocol.Positive ES cells were screened and identified by PCR.Therefore,the dual selected ES cells were microinjected into blastula,then blastula transplantations into the host mice.The chimeric mice were mated with C57BL/6J mice,and the Flox mice were obtained after screening.The Flox mice were hybridized with EIIA-Cre transgenic mice,and the progeny of the SHBG gene knockout (SHBG-/-) mice were obtained by autocopuation for several times.Results:Several Flox homozygous mice and SHBG gene knockout mice were successfully obtained.Compared with control mice,homozygous mice of SHBG gene knockout were well developed and had reproductive ability.The growth and development of SHBG knockout mice were not significantly different from that of wild type mice.Conclusion:Homozygous mice model of SHBG gene knockout was successfully established,which laid the foundation for further study of the role of SHBG in the gestational diabetes.The SHBG gene knockout mouse model was successfully established and the preliminary phenotypic analysis was performed,which laid the foundation for further study on the role of SHBG in gestational diabetes mellitus.SHBG gene knockout mice were normal in appearance.Due to the limited number of samples and many unknown biological characteristics of gene knockout mice,it needs further study.

Objective To investigate the effects of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)gene in the apoptosis of human trophoblastic cells.Methods The siRNA specific-targeting SHBG gene was transfected into human trophoblastic cells and they were divided into six groups:trophoblasts without transfection in normal control groups(group Ⅰ);transfect liposome in blank control groups(group Ⅱ);transfect nonspecific siRNA in negative control groups(group Ⅲ);transfect SHBG siRNA-Ⅰ,SHBG siRNA-Ⅱ,SHBG siRNA-Ⅲ respectively in trans-fection group(group Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅵ).Hoechst 33258 dying method was used to detect cell apoptosis.SHBG and Caspase-3 mRNA profiling and the level of SHBG and caspase-3 protein were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.Results There was no statistical significant difference in the gene expression and protein level of SHBG and caspase-3 in group Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ (P >0.05).In Ⅳ,Ⅴ and Ⅵ group,there was no statistical significant difference in the expression level of SHBG and caspase 3 (P >0.05).Compared with group Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ,the a-mount of SHBG gene expression decreased obviously,the caspase-3 mRNA and protein level increased obviously and the trophoblast cell ap-optosis increased markedly (P <0.05).Conclusion Through siRNA interference technology can reduce SHBG gene expression in human trophoblastic cells,and it can lead to excessive apoptosis of human trophoblasts cells.
