The histological changes in tibial lengthening with metaphyseal osteotomy were observed in 30 goats.It was found that (1) slow lengthening rate of 1 mm/day could enable the tissues to adapt the mechanical traction,and consequently the limitation of elongation could be increased;(2) the new bone formed in the lengthened region might be the result of a combined osteogenesis from endochondral,intramembranous,and fibrous tissue ossification;and (3)the osteogenetic process could be distinguished into 3 stages of hemorrhage and organization of the hematocele,callus formaton,and remodelling of the new bones.

Objective To study the effect of Fufangbiejiaruanganpian (FFBJRGP) on deposition of collagens around hepatic Disse space in experimental alcohol liver fibrosis (ALF). Methods The ALF rat model was induced by feeding a mixture of alcoholic liquid which included alcohol, vegetable oil and pyrazole, combined with a high fatty food. Then, all of the ALF rats were treated with FFBJRGP in high, moderate, and low dose. At the time of termination of the treatment, HYP level in liver tissue, collagen Ⅳ and LN levels in the serum and pathological changes were studied by Mallory stain and sirius red stain. Results The levels of HYP in hepatic tissues, collagen Ⅳ and LN in sera are increased remarkably in ALF rats, while all these indexes were reduced after moderate or low-dose FFBJRGP treatment (P

ObjectiveThe number of positve axillary lymph nodes(ALNs) is one of the most important factors affecting prognosis of patients with breast cancer.The resected lymph nodes number( LNN)can affect the number of positive ALNs.In this study,we aim to evaluate the influence of LNN on the progonosis of breast cancer patients with positive ALNs.Methods449 breast cancer patients with positive ALNs who underwent total mastectomy and axillary dissection were divided into 2 groups:group A (LNN < 10)and group B (LNN ≥ 10).The clinicopathological features of the 2 groups were compared.Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard method were respectively used to make univariate and multivariate survival analysis for disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsThe median follow-up was 43.59 months for group A and 41.34 months for group B.Group A had a significantly higher proportion of patients in pN1,with lymph node metastasis and adjuvant radiotherapy than group B.Univariate analysis showed pN stage,LNN,lymph nodes metastasis rate,HER-2,adjuvant chemotherapy regime and adjuvant radiotherapy were factors influencing DFS. Multivariate analysis showed that pN stage,LNN,lymph nodes metastasis rate,adjuvant chemotherapy regime and adjuvant radiotherapy were factors influencing DFS.We performed analysis stratified by adjuvant chemotherapy regime containing taxan and adjuvant radiotherapy.Stratified analysis showed patients with adjuvant chemotherapy regime containing taxus and adjuvant radiotherapy showed significantly higher DFS rate than those without taxus in adjuvant chemotherapy regime or without adjuvant radiotherapy in group A.However,the 2 different treatment regime had no difference in DFS rate for patients in group B.ConclusionsThe decrease of LNN may affect the diagnosis and therapeutic selection of breast cancer patients with positive ALNs.LNN is an inexpensive and easily available factor for predicting DFS of breast cancer patientswithpositiveALNs.Adjuvant chemotherapy regime containing taxus and adjuvant radiotherapy can improve DFS rate of patients with LNN < 10.

Objective To explore and evaluate the clinical value of MRI for status of axillary lymph node after neoadju-vant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with breast cancer. Methods Forty-four patients with 1ocally advanced breast cancer (LABC) were underwent NAC for four cycles. The longest diameter of axillary lymph node (ALN) measured by MRI scan. Val-ue of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and their correlation were compared before NAC and four cycles after NAC. Re-sults of MRI and pathological data for ALN were compared between two groups of patients. Results All patients finished four cycles of NAC. The total response rate (CR+PR) was 72.7% (32/44), and the total non-response rate (SD+PD) was 27.3%(12/44). The longest diameter of ALN was significantly shortened in response group. The longest diameter was (1.37± 1.06) cm before NAC and (0.90±0.76) cm after NAC (P<0.01). The ADC value of the tumor was significantly increased in re-sponse group [(0.91±0.28) ×10-3 mm2/s before NAC and (1.01±0.32)×10-3 mm2/s after NAC, P<0.01)]. There was no signifi-cant correlation between ADC value change (△ADC) and the longest diameter change of ALN (△L, r=0.131, P=0.413). The sensitivity, specificity and Kappa value of ALN evaluation after NAC were 100%, 62.5%and 0.68 measured by MRI. Con-clusion The change of tumor longest diameter reflects the effect of chemotherapy directly. The tumor ADC value of MRI can not be used as an independent indicator of chemotherapy effect of ALN, eventhouth MRI was the sensitive index for eval-uating the status of axillary lymph node after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Objective To explore the role of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) in protection of homocysteine (HCY)-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in mice. Methods One hundred healthy adult Kunming mice of clean grade were randomly divided into 5 groups, 20 for each group. HCY was injected into lateral ventricle using stereotaxic technique. FJB staining was used to detect neural apoptosis and the Morris water maze test was applied to assess memory and cognitive abilities. Results FJB staining showed that apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in the mice treated with TMP at different doses decreased significantly as compared with that in HCY group, especially at a dose of 20 g/L. Conclusions TMP can alleviate HCY-induced damage of the hippocampal neurons in mice and improve memory and cognitive functions, which suggests TMP has a potential clinical value in prevention and treatment of Alzheimer′s disease.

Background In the past few decades,the balance of Th1/Th2 is often used to explain the immune mechanisms of fungal infection and fungal disease.More recently,a novel subset of CD4+ effector Th cells has been found to participate in anti-fungal infection response.However,whether Th17 is involved in the immune response in fungal keratitis is unclear up to now.Objective Present study was to investigate the expression change of Th17 type cytokine and its specific transcription factor,retinoid-related orphan nuclear receptor gamma t (RORγt),in the cornea of Fusarium solani keratitis.Methods Ninety-six clean BALB/c mice were divided into Fusarium solani keratitis model group and control group by randomized digital table.Fusarium solani keratitis models were established by epikeratophakia-assisted corneal epithelial erasion and interlayerly injection of 5 μl (1 × 106 CFU/ml) Fusarium solani solution in the right eyes,and the equal volume of PBS was injected in the same way in the control group.10% KOH wet film was used to examine the fungal hyphea and funga strain was identified by inoculation.The corneas were examined under the slit lamp microscope 1 day,3,5,7 days after modeling and the inflammatory response was scored based on the criteria of Wu and Hu.The histopathological examination of corneas was performed in the time points above.Real time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression levels of interleukin-17 (IL-17) mRNA and RORγt mRNA in the corneas.The expression of IL-17 protein in the corneas was detected by ELISA.The use and raise of the mice followed the Statement of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology.Results The inflammatory scores were 3.2±0.8,6.6± 1.1,9.4± 1.1 and 6.8±0.8 in 1 day,3,5,7 days after modeling,showing a significant difference among them (F =89.786,P =0.010).The inflammatory scores were higher in the third and seventh day than that in the first day (P<0.05),but they were significantly lower than that in the fifth day (P<0.05).The infiltration of inflammatory cells showed a coincident tendency with the score.The expressing levels of IL-17 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt) in the corneas were 4.12±0.73,20.72±1.81 and 14.16±1.88 in 3,5,7 days after modeling,with statistically significant differences in comparison with those in the control group (P<0.01),and the expression level was significantly higher in the fifth day than those in the first,third and seventh day in the model group(P<0.01).The expression levels of IL-17 protein (ng/g) were significantly increased 1 day,3,5,7 days in the model group compared with the control group (P<0.01).A similar change was found in the expression of RORγt mRNA to that of IL-17 mRNA.Conclusions Expressions of IL-17 and its transcription factor RORγt upregulate in the fungal keratitis and has an association with inflammatory degree,which suggests that Th17 subset may play an important role in the immune responses of fungal keratitis.
