BACKGROUND:How does the peripheral nerve block work to inhibit the functions? What effects does it do to the spinal cord and the cerebral center? How does it regulate the peripheral nerve and how does it change anatomy of brain center? Al above are stil unknown.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of peripheral nerve block on the biology of spinal cord nerve cel s.
METHODS: Sixty New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into three groups: ischiadic nerve block group, subarachnoid block group and extradural nerve block group. Each group had 20 rabbits which were sub-divided into experimental group and control group with 10 rabbits in each subgroup. The rabbits in the three experimental groups were injected with lidocaine, bupivacaine and lidocaine at the middle point between femoral head and ischiadic tuberosity in ischiadic nerve block group, subarachnoid block group and extradural nerve block group, respectively. The rabbits in each control group were injected with normal saline at the same position.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After ischiadic nerve block, extradural nerve block or subarachnoid block for 30 minutes, the Nigeria’s bodies of the little round cel s in the poliomyelia posterior horn laminaeⅢandⅣand the polyhedral cel s in the anterior horn laminaeⅨwere less than those in the control groups. Nuclei leaned towards one side. c-Fos protein expression was decreased or showed no expression, suggesting that the cord nerve cel function of corresponding spinal segments was inhibited. The spinal pia mater of spinal cord had a hierarchical or fracture phenomenon after subarachnoid block.

Objective To compare the dosimetric differences between pencil beam convolution (PBC) and anisotropic analytical algorithm (AAA) in Eclipse treatment planning system for intensitymodulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning of lung cancer patients and dosimetric verification.Methods 10 IMRT plans of lung cancer patients were calculated using the PBC and AAA and the differences of dosimetric parameter were analyzed according to dose-volume histogram of planning target volume (PTV),lung and spinal cord.The verification measurements were performed on an inhomogeneous thorax phantom using a pinpoint ionization chamber.The agreement between calculated and measured doses was determined.The paired t test was used to compare the results.Results Compared with PBC,the AAA predicted higher maximum PTV dose (t =-4.03,P =0.010),lower minimum PTV dose (t =5.09,P =0.040),and a reduction of the volume of PTV covered by the prescribed dose.The AAA also predicted slightly increases than the PBC algorithm in the mean dose to the lung and the V20 as well as the maximum dose to the spinal cord,and the differences were statistically significant (t =-3.99,-2.79,-5.46,P =0.010,0.038,0.003).In the verification measurements,the agreement between the AAA and measurement was within 2%and superior to the PBC algorithm on isocenter (t =-3.82,P =0.012).Conclusions For IMRT treatment planning of lung cancer,the PBC algorithm overestimates the dose to the PTV and underestimates the dose to the lung and the spinal cord,so the AAA for treating planning in which the tissue inhomogeneous such as lung is present is recommended.

AIM: To investigate the effect of mfn2 on mitochondrial function in steatosis hepatocytes. METHODS: Plasmid pEGFP-mfn2 was transfected into hepatocyte strain L02 by Lipofectamine 2000 in vitro, then the steatosis model of hepatocytes was establish by oleic acid induction. RT-PCR was used to evaluate mRNA expression and Western blotting was use to detect the protein expression. ATP level was determined by firefly luciferase bioluminescent. ROS production was measured by fluorescence probe DCFH-DA. Chondrosome transmembrane potential of L02 was observed by labeling of JC-1 and FCM. RESULTS: The stable expression of ectogenesis mitofusin2 in L02 cells was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. In the model of oleic acids induced lipid formation, Mfn2 obviously inhibited the descent of chondrosome transmembrane potential and ATP level, and increased ROS production in L02 cells. CONCLUSION: Up-regulated expression of mfn2 attenuates mitochondria dysfunction caused by oleic acids induced lipid formation.
