Objective To discuss effect of serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) by percutaneous epidural steroid injections in patients with lumbar disc herniation.Methods 137 patients with lumbar disc herniation were selected in Central of Hospital of Wuhan,all patients were randomly assigned joint group and O3 group, all patients were given ozone (O3) injection treatment, before treatment the joint group was given percutaneous epidural steroid injections, the joint group on the basis of O3 injection method was divided into multi-way group and routine group, followed up for 6 months, analyzed all patients therapeutic effect and recurrence rate,used enzyme-linked immunosorbent method to detect patients with serum IgM, SOD level, Pearson analysis method was used to analyze the relationship between the two groups.Results The joint group treatment effective rate was 91.89%, O3 group treatment effective rate was 79.73%, the former was higher than the latter, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05), The joint group serum IgM, SOD level was better than O3 group(P<0.05), In six months, multi-way group recurrence rate was 10.81%, routine group recurrence rate was 18.92%,O3 group recurrence rate was 31.08%, multi-way grou P

Objective To investigate the efficacy of radio-frequency disc nucleoplasty and chemonucleolysis with collagenase for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.Methods Eighty patients with lumbar disc herniation were treated by nucleoplasty combined with chemonucleolysis using collagenase(1200 U) in our hospital from January 2002 to January 2007.Results The patients were re-examined in 2 weeks,4 weeks and 6 months after the operation.According to the modified MacNab criteria,62 patients achieved excellent outcomes,10 were good,6 were fair,and 2 were poor.The rate of excellent and good outcomes were 90%(72/80).No serious complications occurred in this series.Conclusion Radio-frequency disc nucleoplasty and chemonucleolysis with collagenase are minimally invasive and effective for lumbar disc hernia.

0.05).Conclusions:Facial nerve excited threshold detection was a simple and effective method of conjecturing TCM syndrome and severity and prognosis of facial paralysis patients.

Objective To study the Value of low dose CT scanning with gas-contrasted and low window level in diagnosing gastro-colon lesions.Methods 126 cases suspected with gastro-colon lesions were randomly devided into two groups,group A(69 cases) were scanned with conventional water-contrast or non-contrast and conventional expose dose,and with conventional window level,group B(57 cases) were scanned with gas-contrasted and low expose dose,and using low window level.The images were evaluated by 2 experienced radiologists,the results including doctor's self-confidence and diagnostic accurate rate in both group A and group B were compared based on the endoscopic results.Results The diagnostic self-confidence of radiologists and the accurate rate in evaluating the lesions in group B were obviously superior to group A.Conclusion CT scanning of gastro-colon with gas-contrasted,low expose dose and low window level is markedly superior to conventional one.

Objective To establish a gene diagnosis assay for spinal muscular atrophy(SMA) in children. Method Analysis of the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene in 19 SMA patients and in 21 normal controls were performed by using polymerase chain reaction - fragment length polymorphism (PCR - RFLP) method. Result Deletion of exon 7and 8 in SMNt gene were found in all 19 SMA patients, while no such changes were found in normal controls. Conclusion The SMNt gene exon 7 and 8 examine can be applied to SMA gene diagnosis, and the PCR- RFLP method have higher sensitivity and particularity to the SMA diagnosis.

Objective To explore the establishment of methods to evaluate the quality of two different separate gel tubes .Meth-ods An evaluation comparing two separate gel tubes with silicate glass tubes ,which are the standard tubes ,was performed using data from 50 subjects .The serum samples were assayed for routine chemistry or immunology after centrifugation using the quantita-tive or qualitative detection methods such as ECL ,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) ,reflection luminescence or immu-nofluorescence .The data were collect for further statistical analysis .Results For quantitative results of the items ,the two separate gel tubes ,compared with the standard glass tube ,there was no significant difference between the test results (P>0 .05);for quali-tative projects ,two separate plastic tube ,compared with the standard glass tube ,really the positive rate and the true negative rate was no significant difference (P>0 .05 ,K>0 .75) .Conclusion By using different detection methods and test items ,it is demon-strated that using two separate gel tube for items assay does not affect the accuracy and consistency of the test results .As a result , the method for external supplies quality assessment is established in the laboratory for ISO15189 quality control .

Laboratory of electron microscopy is representative of large instruments laboratories in medical research.And the operation and management in this kind of laboratory are different.Case of forty years of operation and management in the medical laboratory of electron microscopy,this paper analyzed and summarized its successful experiences in the research management system,personnel system and the aspect of equipment maintenance management.Provide a management reference for medical research institutions with the laboratory of similar large-scale instruments.

BACKGROUND:intervertebral disc degeneration can reduce nucleus pulposus cells,and peroxiredoxin II involved in the regulation of resist oxidation damage,cell division,differentiation,signal transduction and apoptosis.Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ has promotive effect on intervertebral disc degeneration,whereas the mechanism remains poorly understood.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of perexiredoxin Ⅱ on human intevertebral disc cells activity and type Ⅱ collagen synthesis in vitro.METHODS:Human degenerated human lumbar disc cells were cultured in vitro,and assigned into the control and peroxidase Ⅱ groups.Peroxidase Ⅱ with doses of 10,100 and 1 000 ng/L were added into the peroxidase Ⅱ groups.The cells were identified by immunohistochemical staining,and the cell proliferation was detected using cck-8 kit.Cell supematant was collected at days 3 and 7 after operation,and the expression of type Ⅱ collagen was measured by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In vitro cultured human degenerative lumbar intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells by adding peroxidase increased with the dose-Ⅱ,the disc nucleus pulposus cells of the volume and type Ⅱ collagen synthesis gradually reduced(P ＜ 0.01).Tips peroxidase Ⅱ on the intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells,the number and type Ⅱ collagen synthesis significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner.Thus speculated that peroxidase Ⅱ on the nucleus pulposus cells in vitro may lead to disc degeneration as a precipitating factor.

Objective To study the effects of cripto on migration, invasion, and liver metastasis of colorectal cancer cell. Methods After human colorectal cancer cell line SW480 was transfected by cripto small interfering RNA (siRNA), the mRNA and protein level were determined by Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The migration and invasion ability were evaluated by wound-healing assay and boyden chamber model, respectively. Thirty nude mice model of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer was established by splenectomy. Results The siRNA could down-regulate the level of mRNA and protein of cripto in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Suppression of cripto expression could inhibit migration and invasion ability of human colorectal cancer cell in vitro. The metastastic rate and tumor nodules were lower in transfection with cripto siRNA than in two control groups in vivo. Conclusions Cripto gene might play an important role in regulation of liver metastasis from colorectal carcinoma cell, and suppression of cripto gene by siRNA can inhibit liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.
