[Objective]To investigate the effect of salvianoli acid B and hyperoxic solution on experimental ischemia reperfusion injury of extremities.[Method]Twenty-four healthy New Zealand rabbits were divided into 4 groups randomly.Equivalent 0.9%Nacl(group A),hyperoxic solution(group B),salvianoli acid B(group C),salvianoli acid B and hyperoxic solution(group D) were injected through ear edge vein before ischemia.The femoral artery and vein were blocked and the model of ischemia reperfusion injury of extremities was set up.Before ischemia and after 4 hour's reperfusion,the blood samples were taken to measure the levels of blood malondialdehyde(MDA) and superoxide dismutase(SOD).The gastrocnemius muscles were observed by pathologic test.[Result]Serum enzymatic activity of MDA improved obviously.Salvianoli acid B and hyperoxic solution could prevent the improvement of it(P

Objective To investigate the stromal cell derived factor 1 α (SDF-1 α) and chemokine CXC motif receptor 4 (CXCR4) axis using acupoint electroacupuncture (EA) on the brains of rats after focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.Methods Ninety-eight Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a control group (8 rats),a model group (50 rats),and an EA group (40 rats).The animal model of focal brain ischemia-reperfusion was made with all the rats in the model group and EA group by using the filament occlusion technique.The model and EA groups were subdivided into 5 subgroups according to the sampling time points on the 1 st,3rd,7th,14th or 21st day after ischemia-reperfusion.The EA was administered bilaterally to the rat analog of the Hegu point (LI 4) in the EA group.The model and control groups received no special treatment.Immunohistochemical methods were employed to detect CXCR4-positive cells in the model and EA groups.The expressions of SDF-1α and CXCR4 mRNA were detected with RT-PCR methods in the 3rd,7th and 14th day subgroups.Results With the prolongation of reperfusion,SDF-1α mRNA expression in the model group had a single peak-like increase in the ischemic area of the cerebral cortex.It had increased significantly by the 3rd day,reached its peak value at the 7th day and then decreased gradually.SDF-1α mRNA expression in the EA group behaved similarly,but SDF-1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in the EA group than in the other two.In the model and EA groups CXCR4 mRNA relative values were higher at the 7th and 14th day than at day 3,and the expression at day 14 was significantly greater than at day 7.CXCR4 mRNA values in the EA group were significantly higher than in the model group at each time point.The expression of CXCR4-positive cells began to increase on the 1 st day in the model group,reached its peak value at the 7th day,then decreased by day 14,but it was still strongly expressed highly at the 21st day.Compared with the model group,the expression in the EA group showed the same pattern,but the number of CXCR4-positive cells in EA group was significantly higher.Conclusion Point EA can activate the SDF-1α and CXCR4 axis to promote angiogenesis after focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion,at least in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of Rb protein expression on the clinical response of the colorectal cancer patients perfused with 5-Fu before operation. Methods The expression of Rb protein in 34 cases of the colorectal cancer sample was determined by streptavidin-peroxidase(S-P) immunohistochemical method and the positive reactions were analysed by ICM-100 Cell DNA Picture Analysis System. The apoptotic rate of colorectal cancer cells was examined by the TUNEL staining. The chemosensistivity of the colorectal cancer cells were tested by the MTT colorimetric assay of agar culture. The clinical response of the colorectal cancer patients perfused with 5-Fu before operation was observed simultaneously. Results ⑴There was the negative correlation between the resistance index of the colorectal cancer cells to 5-Fu (IC50/10-1 peak concentration) and the apoptotic rate of the colorectal cancer cells induced by 5-Fu (?=-0.53,t=-4.91,P1.0 belongs to the group of resistance,

Objective To evaluate the value of the Heidelberg retina tomograph - Ⅱ in detection of primary chronic angle-closure glaucoma(CACG) in a Chinese population, and to investigate the difference of parameters detected by HRT-Ⅱ between normal subjects and CACG patients. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of optic disk detection using Moorfields regression analysis (MRA) and linear discriminant function(LDF) of the HRT-Ⅱ in differentiating normal from CACG eyes. Design Prospective, comparative case series. Participants 64 eyes of 32 normal subjects and 77 eyes of 51 patients with CACG were studied. The normal subjects were ageand refraction-matched with the glaucoma patients. Methods The interventions consisted of optic disk imaged by means of HRT-Ⅱ and visual field (VF) detected with Oculus Twinfield perimetry. The CACG patients then were divided into two groups according to the VF discriminant standard and mean defect (MD) of Oculus Twinfield perimetry, the group with the glaucomatous VF defect and the group without VF defect. The optic disk was described with 14 optic disk parameters. The optic disc parameters between the normal and the patients were compared. The optic disks were also classified as "normal/borderline/outside normal limits" on the basis of MRA. The results from MRA and from LDF provided in the HRT-Ⅱ were compared. Main Outcome Measures Optic disk parameters, MD of the VF, the VF discriminant standard, the sensitivity and specificity of HRT-Ⅱ examination. Results Between the normal and CACG patients, differences of the most of optic disk parameters were significant statistically (P

A three-dimensional finite element model of premaxillary bone and anterior teeth was established with ANSYS 13.0. The anterior teeth were fixed with strong stainless labial archwire and lingual frame. In the horizontal loading experiments, a horizontal retraction force of 1.5 N was applied bilaterally to the segment through hooks at the same height between 7 and 21 mm from the incisal edge of central incisor; in vertical loading experiments, a vertical intrusion force of 1.5 N was applied at the midline of lingual frame with distance between 4 and 16 mm from the incisal edge of central incisor. After loading, solution was done and displacement and maximum principle stress were calculated. After horizontal loading, lingual displacement and stress in periodontal membrane (PDM) was most homogeneous when the traction force was 14 mm from the edge of central incisor; after vertical loading, intrusive displacement and stress in PDM were most homogeneous when the traction force was 12 mm from the incisal edge of central incisor. The results of this study suggested that the location of center of resistance (CRe) of six maxillary anterior teeth is about 14 mm gingivally and 12 mm lingually to incisal edge of central incisor. The location can provide evidence for theoretical and clinical study in orthodontics.
