Objective To establish animal models of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and discuss the early functional MRI findings.Methods Twenty-five adult white rabbits were divided into control group (n =5),mild DAI group and severe DAI group (n =6) according to random number.Mild DAI group was subdivided into mild DAI 3 h (n =6),1 day (n =4) and 1 week (n =4) groups.Routine MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were performed.Parameters measured were fractional anisotropy (FA),apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),axial diffusivity (AD) and radical diffusivity (RD).Results Significantly increased FA (P<0.01) and decreased ADC (P<0.05) and RD (P<0.01) were detected in severe DAI group compared to control group,but there was no significant variation in AD between the two groups (P > 0.05).Each parameter remained almost unchanged in mild DAI 3 h group and mild DAI 1 week group,but FA was increased (P < 0.01) and RD decreased (P < 0.05) in mild DAI 1 day group,with no changes of ADC and AD.Conclusion DTI is a sensitive way to detect the occurrence and development of DAI and can provide referential images for early DAI diagnosis.

Objective To research the influences of gambogic acid on rats'cytochrome P450 isoforms by using the Cocktail probe drugs. Methods Rats were randomly divided into several groups. One group of rats received gambogic acid solution containing 0.5 %CMC-Na (2 mg?mL-1,once per day) orally for six days. At the same time,the rats in the other group received 0.5 %CMC-Na solution serving as blank control group. Blood samples were collect at different time point,and the plasma concentration of cocktail probe drugs was determined by HPLC. Results There was insignificant difference of caffeine and dapsone metabolism between the gambogic acid group and the blank group,but the chlorzoxazone was eliminated faster in the gambogic acid group,and the half life of chlozoxazone was shorter. Conclusion Gambogic acid has no significant influence on the cytochrome P450 isoforms of CYP1A2 and CYP3A4,but has an induction on the CYP2E1.

Objective To study the protective effects of aqueous extract and alcohol-soluble extract of Isodon lophanthoides var.gerardianus (Benth.)Hara (ILVG) on immunity hepatic injury induced by concanavalin A (Con A) in mice.Methods One hundred and eight NIH mice were allocated into normal control group,model group,ILVG groups of aqueous extract and alcohol-soluble extract (low-,middle-and high-dosage),and bifendate group randomly.In the experimental groups,mice received either ILVG aqueous extract or alcohol-soluble extract (18.20 g?kg-1,9.10 g?kg-1,4.55 g?kg-1 respectively) or Bifendate (45 mg?kg-1) by gastric perfusion daily for consecutive 5 days.In the 5th day,Con A (20 mg?kg-1) was injected into mice via the tail vein 4h after administration.And then the blood was obtained by picking out the eyeball and the serum was separated after 8-hour fasting.The serum levels of ALT and AST were analyzed,the body weight as well as the weight of liver,spleen and thymus were measured,and pathological features of hepatic tissue were observed.Results ILVG can decrease the ALT and AST,restrain the enlargement of liver and the shrinkage of thymus and reduce the necrosis of hepatic tissue.Conclusion Aqueous extract and alcohol-soluble extract of ILVG possess the effects of protecting liver from immunity injury induced by Con A in NIH mice.

BACKGROUND:Numerous studies have shown that air wave pressure therapy plays an important role in prevention of deep venous thrombosis of lower limb after a major operation on the hip.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the efficacy of air wave pressure therapy on deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity in patients with total knee arthroplasty.
METHODS:A total of 80 patients with total knee arthroplasty were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. Patients in the control group were treated only with conventional method to help the patient massage the lower extremity by the nurse and combined with active functional exercise;patients in the experimental group were treated with air wave pressure therapy at 2 days postoperatively, and were also treated with conventional method to help the patient massage the lower extremity by the nurse and combined with active functional exercise. Swel ing index, coagulation index and the number of patients with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity were recorded in both groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 weeks after treatment, swel ing index, coagulation index and the number of patients with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity were significantly reduced in the experimental group, and its effects were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Early use of air wave pressure therapy after total knee arthroplasty can al eviate limb swel ing effectively and have obvious advantages in improving coagulation index and blood coagulation condition and in preventing deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity after total knee arthroplasty.

Objective Observe the effect and the indications of intermittent short veno-venuous hemofiltration(ISVVH) in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Methods APACHE II scores≥14 and fluids imbalance were respectively used to define as the indication of starting hemofiltration and ending hemofiltration. In 39 patients with SAP,19 underwent ISVVH(IS group),and the other 20 patients were not accepted hemofiltration (N group). APACHE II scores, Balthazar CT grades and the plasma levels of procalitonin(PCT), TNF-?, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1ra, IL-2 and IL-10 were observed. Results At admission and 2d after admission, APACHE II scores in IS group and N group were (13.8?3.1)and (17.8?3.2) ( P

Objective To discuss the effectiveness of the second surgical procedure of adjacent segment degeneration after the first spinal fusion.Method 35 patients who had been performed spinal fusion in our hospital or had symptoms recurred or aggravated after 12 ~ 114 (42 ±35) months of the prior surgery were enrolled in this study.A second surgery was performed and intraoperative the intradiscal pressure of adjacent segments of degeneration and normal segments was measured.The VAS score systems were compared among prior surgery,3 months later and 2 years after the second surgery.Result The intradiscal pressure of adjacent segments after the cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra fusion were [ (15 ± 4.6)cmH2O,(23 ±5.2)cmH2O],much higher than normal segments [ (3 ±2.3)cmH2O,(8 ±4.1)cmH2O](P <0.01).The VAS score systems of 3 months later and 2 years after the second surgery were [ (2.9 ±0.7),(2.0 ± 0.6) ],which were dramatically lower than the prior (7.8 ± 1.2) (P < 0.01).In 12 ~ 46(31 ± 12) months of follow-up after the second procedure,X-ray and MRI showed that fusion segments reached nearly bone fusion,well decompressed and without nerve compression or other complications.Conclusion If recurrence of symptoms after spinal fusion were caused by adjacent segment degeneration,reoperation would guarantee good clinical outcome.

Objective To investigate and assess 13C-methacetin breath test as a method to quantitatively evaluate the liver function of non-alcoholic fatty liver. Methods Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the following 2 groups, control group given a standard chow and model group given high-fat diet (88 % standard chow + 10% lard +2% cholesterol). At the 8th week and 12th week, the isotope-selective nondispersive infrared spectrometer (NDIRS) was applied to 13C-methacetin breath test. Peak value of breathing (DOB), the duration to peak (T), and cumulative expiration within 60 min (CUM60min) were determined. Then, the two groups of rats were executed respectively. The level of endotoxin in the portal vein and abdominal aorta was detected respectively, and the specific tissue of liver was fixed in 10% buffered formalin, processed, and embedded in paraffin for hematoxylin eosin (H&E). Results Compared with the control group, DOB increased in the model group at the 12th week but not at the 8th week. The trend was corresponded to the degree of path-ological lesion in the liver of rats. At the 8th week and 12th week, endotoxin levels in the portal vein of model group were significantly in-creased compared with control group. The breath test results were positively related to emlotoxin levels in the portal vein. Conclusion 13C-methacetin breath test may be a non-invasive method to evaluate the pathological changes of non-alcoholic fatty liver.
