OBJECTIVE:To study the inhibitory action of Sarcandra glabra injection (ZJF) on tumor growth of SGC-7901 transplantation tumor in nude mice and its induction on apoptosis. METHODS:SGC-7901 transplantation tumor nude mice model was established then the model mice were assigned to blank,positive control,ZJF high-dose and low-dose (3,1.5 g?kg-1) groups. After treatment with ZJF for 14 days,the indexes of thymus and spleen,numbers of peripheral red blood cells,white cells and platelet were measured; the tumor-inhibition rate was computed; the ultrastructure of tumor tissues was observed,and the apoptosis of implanted tumor cells was observed. RESULTS:As compared with blank group,no significant change was noted in the indexes of thymus and spleen and peripheral hemogram. The differences between high-dose ZJF group and low-dose ZJF group were greatly significant in both the inhibition rate of SGC-7901 transplantation tumor (42.8% vs. 39.9%) and the apoptotic rate of tumor tissues [(9.3?0.15)% vs.(8.18?0.08)%].One or more apoptotic bodies formed after medication. CONCLUSION:ZJF can promote the presence of apoptotic body and induce apoptosis thus inhibiting the growth of SGC-7901 transplantation tumor in nude mice; however,it had little impact on the thymus and spleen and peripheral hemogram.

Objective To explore the risk factors and imaging features of silent brain infarction (SBI).Methods The patient with SBI from the clinic were enrolled in the study,and the patients with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction served as controls.The risk factors and imaging features of both groups were compared.Results Among 145 patients with SBI,133 (91.72％) had two or more lesions,mainly in the centrum semiovale (73.10％).The proportion of patients with white matter lesions in the group of SBI in a single location was significantly lower than that in the group of SBI in multiple locations (41.67％ vs.73.68％ ;x2 =5.484,P =0.019).Compared to the patients with SBI,the age in patents with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction was older (72.42 ± 11.79 vs.67.03 ± 12.04 years; t =3.545,P =0.000),the proportions of male (63.55％ vs.46.21％ ;x2 =7.447,P =0.006),hypertension (80.37％ vs.64.14％ ; x2 =7.887,P =0.005) and atrial fibrillation (31.78％ vs.8.97％,x2 =21.113,P =0.000),as well as the levels of fasting glucose (6.09 ±1.23 mmol/Lvs.5.65± 1.18 mmol/L; t=2.863,P=0.005),total cholesterol (5.53± 0.74 mmol/Lvs.5.27 ± 0.90 mmol/L; t =2.554,P =0.011),triglycerides (1.89 ± 0.20 mmol/L vs.1.77 ± 0.18 mmol/L; t =4.910,P=0.000) and homocysteine (1 4.88 ±4.97 mmol/L vs.11.94 ±4.61 mmol/L; t =4.432,P =0.000)were higher.However,the lipoprotein (a) level was lower (0.18 ± 0.06 g/L vs.0.27 ± 0.18 g/L; t =-5.489,P =0.000).Among patients with SBI,33.8％ and 43.5％ had lesions in two and three locations,respectively;among patients with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction,66.4％ and 27.1％ had lesions in a single location and two locations,respectively (P ＜ 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lipoprotein (a)was the independent risk factor for SBI (odds ratio 5.988,95％ confidence interval 2.421-14.706; P =0.000).Conclusions Although they shared a variety of common risk factors,patients with SBI had less atherosclerotic risk factors than those with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction.Most patients with SBI had lesions in multiple locations.

BACKGROUND:There are controversies about the efficacy of al-arthroscopic rotator cuff repairversus mini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of al-arthroscopic rotator cuff repairversusmini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury by conducting a meta-analysis.
METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and CBM databases from January 1966 to November 2015 to screen the relevant articles usingthe key words of“rotator cuff, arthroscopy, mini-open”. Meta-analysis was performed using Revman5.3 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 11 studies, including 6randomized controled trialsand 5 cohort studies,were selected. The meta-analysis results showed that there were no significant differences in the function and strength of the shoulder joint, pain, motor range, recurrence of rotator cuff avulsion, the incidence rate of ankylosis between both two groups (P> 0.05). These results suggest that the efficacy of al-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair does not differ from those of mini-open for the treatment of rotator cuff injury. However arthroscopic rotator cuff repair induces less soft tissue injury and early incision pain, but better function recovery.

The perineurial cells of the small nerve branch of the normal human abdominal wall are observed with electron microscope. The fibrous long-spacing bodies (FLS) are found within the interstitial substance of the endoneurium. 1. 2-5 layers of the perineurial cells surround the nerve fasciculus. The perineurial cells are squamous in shape and the cytoplasm contains microfilaments and pinocytotic vesicles. Each perineurial cell has an obvious basement membrane on its basal surface but the fibroblasts, whatever situated in the endoneurium or on the outer surface of the perineurium, has no basement membrane. Numerous desmosome and some gap junctions between the close attached perineurial cells are demostrated. The collagen fibrils between perineurial cells can be often shown. FLS bodies and collagen fibrils about 45 nm in diameter in the interstitial substance of endoneurium inside perineurial cells are demonstrated. In the connective tissue surrounding the outside of perineurial cells, the collagen fibrils of 80 nm in diameter can be seen, but no FLS bodies present there. 2. FLS bodies in the endoneurial matrix can be demostrated. Most of them closely associated with the basement membrane of the Schwann cells surrounding the unmyelinated nerves but no FLS bodies are found associate with those of the myelinated nerves. A few FLS bodies do not relate to basement membrane and they are invested only with the collagen fibrils. In the longitudinal sections, most of FLS bodies are in spindle shape of various sizes, their longitudinal axes parallel to that of the adjoining collagen fibrils. Sometimes the FLS bodies continue with the collagen fibrils are found. Occasionally, FLS body like a bridge locate between two Schwann cells and its dark bands continue to the basement membrane of the Schwann cells. Two or three FLS bodies may fuse together but their cross bands do not registered at the same level. In the oblique sections, FLS bodies are nearly rectangular in shape, with the cross bands shown, and their appearance do not show greaty difference from those in longitudinal sections. The periodicity of FLS bodies is about 133nm in length; the dark band in it is about 53 nm, which is made of the dense granular substance; the light band is about 80 nm, which is made of a network with approximated parallel microfilaments. There are no further crossstriated structures within the periods. Some problems, such as the role of the perineurial cells, the relationship of FLS bodies with basement membrane, are briefly discussed.
