Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2013;19(11):1016-1019
Objective To investigate the effects of low intensity treadmill training on spatial learning and memory and expression of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) in hippocampus in mice. Methods 24 female C57BL/6J mice of 3 months were assigned into control group (n=12) and exercise group (n=12). They were assessed with Morris Water Maze task 5 months after exercise. The GSK-3β protein and mRNA expressed in hippocampus were determined 1 week after the task. Results The latency and path length to escape onto the hidden platform decreased in the exercise group (P<0.05), while the cross times increased (P<0.05) compared with the control group. The level of GSK-3β mRNA decreased (P<0.05) and ratio of p-GSK-3β-Ser9 to GSK-3β increased (P<0.05) as well. Conclusion Low intensity treadmill exercise may improve the spatial learning and memory in mice, which may down-regulate the expression and activity of GSK-3β.

4.Latest progress on diagnosis and treatment of glenohumeral instability.
China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2014;27(2):172-176
As a common and frequently-occurring disease,glenohumeral instability is become one of disease which restrict upper limb activity. The diagnosis of this disease is easy, but it is very difficult to assess the degree of periarticular soft tissue injuries. With the development of magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopy, MRA become the gold standard for evaluation of glenoid labrum, joint capsule and ligaments injury. The traditional manual reduction is a fast, simple method, but often can cause adverse consequences,such as rotator cuff tear,ligament relaxation,and habitual dislocation. Open operation can rebuild stability of joint,but with many new treatment methods,especially the arthroscopic reconstruction has gradually replaced the open operation, and become the mainstream trend, but for the long-term effect of capsular tightening surgery, rotator cuff gap closure is not clear,it is need further follow-up observation.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, many drugs emerge to control tooth movement, and scholars in China begin to investigate Chinese herbs with moderate nature and smal adverse reaction.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the relapse after orthodontic tooth movement, osteoprotegerin and osteoclast differentiation factor expression in periodontal tissue after rats were treated with local tanshinone type IIA at different doses.
METHODS:A total of 48 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups:control, low dose (tanshinone type IIA 0.36 mg/d), medium dose (tanshinone type IIA 0.72 mg/d), and high dose (tanshinone type IIA 1.44 mg/d) groups. Taking anterior teeth as the anchorage, the maxil ary first molar of rats was tracted to mesial movement. In experimental groups, gingival mucosa of the first molar was local injected with tanshinone type IIA 1 day
before the force device was removed, while control group was injected with physiological saline, once a day, for 4 weeks. Immediately, 1 week, and 4 weeks after the force device was removed, the distance between the maxil ary first molar and second molar was measured and body mass was weighted. The animals were kil ed after 4 weeks, osteoprotegerin and osteoclast differentiation factor expression in maxil ary first molar and periodontal tissue were determined using immunohistochemical staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no obvious change in the body weight of rats in each group (P>0.05). In low, medium and high dose groups, recurrent distance of the teeth was shorter than that in control group (P<0.05), and recurrence percentage was significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). The greater the dose was, the
smal er the degree of recurrence was. Osteoprotegerin expression in the periodontal tissue was significantly higher in the experimental groups than the control group (P<0.05), while osteoclast differentiation factor expression was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). The ratio of osteoprotegerin/osteoclast differentiation factor in the periodontal tissue was greater than 1 in both control group and experimental groups, and reached the peak in the high dose group. Local delivery of tanshinone type IIA has no impact on body weight of normal rats, and can effectively control the recurrence rate after orthodontic tooth movement. Within a certain range, high dose achieves the most obvious effect. Regulating osteoclast through adjusting the ratio of osteoprotegerin/osteoclast differentiation factor could be the molecular mechanism of tanshinone type IIA accelerating the periodontal tissue rebuilding.

This study was aimed to provide experimental evidence for clinical application of curcumin to strengthen the effect of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) in gastric cancer treatment, so as to reduce the dose of 5-FU and its side-effect in the future treatment. MTT assay was used to detect medication effect on MGC-803 cell growth inhibition; AO/EB double staining fluorescence microscopic observation and FITC/PI double staining flow cytometry were used to detect medication effect on cell apoptosis. Flow cytometry was based on PI staining used to detect medication effect on MGC-803 cell cycle. The results showed that curcumin (25μmol·L-1) with low-dose (2.4μmol·L-1) and middle-dose (4.8μmol·L-1) 5-FU can effectively inhibit MGC-803 cell growth, induce cell apoptosis and block cell cycle in S phase. Which showed dose-time dependent manner. The combined use of curcumin with low-dose 5-FU was more effective than the middle-dose (4.8μmol·L-1) 5-FU alone (P < 0.01); similarly, the combined use of curcumin with middle-dose 5-FU was more effective than the use of high-dose (9.6μmol·L-1) 5-FU alone (P < 0.01). It indicated that curcumin can enhance the antitumor effect of 5-FU against MGC-803 cells in a dose-time dependent manner. It was concluded that the study provided a preliminary experimental basis for using curcumin as an adjuvant to 5-FU with the benefit of reducing its dose and toxicity in the clinical treatment of gastric cancer.
