Objective To investigate the present status and developments of Chinese military neurosurgery, make an objective analysis about the achievements and deficiencies, and propose a developing trend for the field of Chinese military neurosurgery. Methods The scientific literatures of neurosurgery published domestically and abroad in recent 5 years were partially reviewed. The advances and achievements in basic researches and clinical works of neurosurgery acquired during the period of the 11th Five Year Plan were analyzed. Results During the period of the 11th Five Year Plan, Chinese military neurosurgery was still in the lead position in traditional areas such as traumatic brain injury. In the meantime, great achievements were obtained in the researches of brain and spinal cord tumors, endovascular treatment and functional neurosurgery, and 47 items of Army Science and Technology Advancement Prizes or Military Medical Achievement Awards were acquired. A great progress was made in personnel training. However, unbalanced development in neurosurgery field still existed within military departments, between military and civil departments and between different regions, so an enhanced technical interchange and cooperation is needed. Conclusions On the coming period, the research work of military neurosurgery should focuse on basic and clinical research of gene therapy to keep in step with neurosurgical trends in the world. On the other hand, attention should be paid to technological innovation with military features such as professional and general treatment of traumatic brain injury and researches on the development of protective equipments.

Objective To observe the effect of Latexin treatment on the chemoresistance in gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990, and explore the potential mechanism.Methods Gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cell line SWl990/GZ was induced and established by increasing gemcitabine dosage intermittently.IC50 of gemcitabine in SW1990 cells and SWl990/GZ cells pre and post Latexin treatment at the dosage of 10, 20 and 40 ng/μl for 48 h was evaluated using CCK-8 assay.The mRNA and protein expression of Latexin gene in SW1990 and SW1990/GZ cells were evaluated using qRT-PCR and Western blot, and the expression of Shh and Gli1 in 40 ng/μl Latexin treated SW1990 and SW1990/GZ cells for 48 h.Results A gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cell line SWl990/GZ was obtained successfully, which can grow stably and passage in the media containing 150 μmol/L gemcitabine.The IC50 values of gemcitabine in SW1990 cells and SWl990/GZ cells were (3.8±0.4)μmol/L and(226.52±13.61)μmol/L, respectively, and the later was greatly higher than the former, which was statistically different (P=0.000).The drug resistance indexes (RI) was 59.6.After treated with different concentrations of Latexin(10,20,40 ng/μl), the IC50 of SW1990 cells was (3.0±0.4)μmol/L, (2.5±0.3)μmol/L and (1.8±0.3)μmol/L, respectively,and the IC50 of SW1990/GZ cells was(113.08±5.01)μmol/L,(70.26±2.31)μmol/L and (42.12±1.31)μmol/L, respectively.Compared with the untreated cells,the IC50 of gemcitabine in 20,40 ng/μl Latexin treated cells was obviously decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared with the SW1990 cells,the expression of Latexin in SW1990/GZ cells was obviously decreased.RI were 37.7, 28.1 and 23.1,respectively.mRNA relative expression of Latexin in SW1990 and SW1990/GZ cells were 0.85±0.08 and 0.31±0.07, and protein relative expression were 0.49±0.09 and 0.13±0.05, and Latexin expression in SW1990/GZ was obviously lower than that in SW1990 cells and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).After being treated by 40 ng/μl Latexin, SHH mRNA in SW1990/GZ cells decreased from 0.89±0.09 (control cells) to 0.53±0.06, Gli1 mRNA decreased from 0.58±0.06 to 0.35±0.05, Shh protein decreased from 0.72±0.09 to 0.35±0.06,Gli1 protein level decreased from 0.78±0.08 to 0.28±0.03, and all the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or 0.01).Conclusions Latexin can significantly improve the chemosensitivity in gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cells, and the potential mechanism may be related to the inhibition of sonic hedgehog pathway activation.

The elimination of Oncomelania hupensis snails is important to schistosomiasis control. Recently,the application of molluscicidal organisms is considered as a safe and efficient method for snail elimination. In order to provide scientific evi?dences for effective control of O. hupensis and schistosomiasis,this paper summarizes the researches of molluscicidal microor?ganisms against O. hupensis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the quality of recovery from anesthesia in the patients undergoing modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) with propofol anesthesia.Methods One hundred and ten patients of both sexes,aged 18-50 yr,weighing 45-80 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective MECT with general anesthesia,were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n =55 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Dexmedetomidine was infused intravenously in a dose of 0.5 μg/kg (in normal saline 10 ml) over 10 min in group D,while normal saline 10 ml was infused intravenously over 10 min in group C.Propofol 1.5 mg/kg and succinylcholine 0.5 mg/kg were injected intravenously,and MECT was performed in the two groups.The emergence time was recorded.The development of cardiovascular events,nausea and vomiting,respiratory depression,headache,somnolence and agitation during recovery from anesthesia was recorded.Results Compared with group C,the incidence of nausea and vomiting,headache and agitation during recovery from anesthesia was significantly decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant changes were found in the emergence time,and incidence of hypertension,tachycardia,respiratory depression and somnolence during recovery from anesthesia in group D (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine (intravenously infused in a dose of 0.5 μg/kg over 10 min before anesthesia) can raise the quality of recovery from anesthesia in the patients undergoing MECT with propofol anesthesia.

Objective To explore the feasible approach for establishment of a liver cancer model induced by N-nitrosodiethylamine(DENA)with Sprague-Dawley rat,and to provide ideal animal model for imaging diagnosis and interventional therapy.Methods One-hundred and forty male SD rats were administrated with 0.95 g/L DENA for 10 weeks,and MRI was performed for inspecting pathological changes of rat livers on the following week.When the liver tumor was proved then the rat will be the candidate for sequential procedures,otherwise the animal continued under observation until next MRI examination after 4 weeks.DSA was done in 64 rats'for detecting blood supply of liver tumors.Animals were sacrificed with an overdose of chloral hydrate,The representative tumor tissues were fixed in 10% formalin and 2.5% glutaraldehyde for light and electron microscopy analysis respectively.Alpha fetoprotein(AFP) and hepatocyte were assaied by immunohistochemistry technique in order to identify intrinsic trait of the harvested tumors.Results The earliest induced tumor was detected on 11th week and the latest was on 20th week by MRI,and the median period was 13.9 weeks.Tumor size ranged from 2 mm to 40 mm in diameter. The rate of single and multi-induced tumor was 9.7%(7/72)and 90.3%(65/72),respectively.87.7% (57/65)" of the induced multiple tumors was with hepatocirrhosis and 18.1% of these tumors combined with extrahepatic neoplasm or metastasis.Plenty blood supply was proved by DSA in most of those tumors. Tumors not only derived from hepatocyte but also manifested positive expression of AFP.Histological types of these tumors include hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)(92.0%,66/72),intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC)(4.0%,3/72),and combined HCC and ICC(4.0%,3/72),respectively.Electro-microscope analysis indicated that cytoplasm and organelle of induced tumors were abnormal distinctly compared with those of non-carcinomatous cells.Conclusion DENA can induce ideal rat liver cancer as a feasible animal model,MRI is the best approach for scrutinizing pathological changes of rat livers during induced period.
