Objective Diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)was used to explore the characteristics of white matter (WM)microstruc-ture lesion in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE)and hippocampal sclerosis(HS).Then we investigated the influence of the age of epilepsy onset and the course on WM changes.Methods DTI data were obtained in 30 TLE patients with HS and 23 age and sex-matched healthy controls.Thirteen patients had left HS (LHS)and seventeen had right HS (RHS).Between-group compari-sons of fractional anisotropy (FA)were carried out by using track-based spatial statistics (TBSS).In addition,FA in regions of in-terest (ROI)where white matter lesions had statistically significant difference was correlated with the age of onset and the course. Results Subjects in the LHS group,as compared to healthy controls,demonstrated these clusters of reduced FA:bilateral corona radiata,the left genu of corpus callosum,the right body and splenium of corpus callosum,the right posterior thalamic radiation,ex-ternal capsule and superior longitudinal fasciculus.White the subjects in the RHS group,the clusters of reduced FA are involving bi-lateral corpus callosum,corona radiata,posterior thalamic radiation,cingulum,superior longitudinal fasciculus,and the right ante-rior limb of internal capsule,the right retrolenticular part of internal capsule and external capsule.In LHS group,the FA of the left genu of corpus callosum was negatively correlated with the course,and the FA of the right anterior corona radiata was positively cor-related with the age of onset.In RHS group,the FA of the bilateral superior corona radiata was positively correlated with the course.Conclusion DTI detects extensive changes in TLE with HS that are not confined to temporal lobe.The age of epilepsy onset in LHS was correlated with the changes of anterior corona radiata,while the course and the WM change were not definitely linked to each other.

Objective To evaluate the results of acromioclavicukr crook plate in treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation and distal clavicular fracture and discuss causes for complications and preventive measures.Methods From September 2003 to April 2007,open reduction and acromiocla vicular crook plate fixation was done on 38 patients with acromioclavicular joint dislocation and distal clavicular fracture including 17 with acromioclavicular dislocation and 12 with distal clavicle fractures.Postoperative rehabilitation began early.Results Of all,27 patients were followed up for mean 21 months (3-37 months) and obtained bone healing.The internal fixation was removed at 6-8 months postoperatively and the outcome was evaluated with Karlsson rating system,which showed 22 patients at grade A,four at grade B and one at grade C.There was no dislocation or fracture after the internal fixation was removed ranging.Three patients with limited abduct motion <90° during certain movements got better after plate removal.One patient had acromio clavicular erosion.Conclusions The application of acromioclavicular crook plate provides accurate anatomical reduction and early rehabilitation and enables fast functional recovery.Technically,the implant needs to be used precisely.It is better to get appropriate early exercise and remove plate as early as possible.

Objective To explore labeling efficiency and appropriate conditions of Superpara magnetic iron exide nanopaticles (SPIO) nanoparticles for Bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs). Methods BMSCs were aquired from skeletally mature dogs via iliac crest aspiration and separated by adherent cell cytopheresis.BMSCs were cultured and incubated with SPIO at different concentrations in vitro. The labeling efficiency of BMSCs with different labeling concentrations SPIO nanoparticles as well as detection of characteristics and signal attenuation rules were evaluated by MRI at 1.5T in vitro. Results BMSCs were efficiently labeled by SPIOin vitro and has no alterations to viability and proliferation profiles at this labeling concentration. BMSCs loaded with SPIO can be detected by MRI at certainly cell quantity in vitro(5 × 104). The quantity of SPIO in cells gradually reduced as cell culture time prolonged, with no statistically significant changes in cell death(P＞ 0.05). Conclusion The results demonstrated the potential application of SPIO as a wonderful cell tracer in vitro.

Objective To compare the effectiveness of nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen (nHAC)and autologous mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) for the repair of femoral defect in a rabbit model with femoral defect under the monitoring of the synchrotron radiation hard X-ray. Methods The rabbit models of traumatic bone defect were established and completely randomized into three groups. The femoral defects filled with nothing were used as control group (Group A) , the femoral defects filled with nHAC as Group B and the femoral defects filled with nHAC + AMSCs as Group C. Phase-contrast imaging with synchrotron radiation hard X-ray was applied to detect the degradation and repair process of each group at postoperative weeks 4, 8 and 12, respectively. Results Phase-contrast imaging with synchrotron radiation hard X-ray could display the reparative process. Four weeks after operation, there was collapse in some defect areas in Group A, and the degradation of nHAC and new bone formation were observed in Groups B and C. Eight weeks after operation, fibrous tissues were observed in the defect area in Group A, while osteogenesis and nHAC degradation were more obvious in Groups B and C. Twelve weeks after operation, the defect areas were still unhealed and were substituted by fibrous tissues in Group A, tissue densities of defect areas in Group C were identical with periphery areas, and trabecular bones were formed in Group C. There were statistical differences in the osteogenesis between Group A and Groups B and C,with Group C the best. Conclusion Phase-contrast imaging with synchrotron X-ray can detect the reparative process at a micro-level and plays an important role in the development of tissue engineering.

Exosomes are a kind of extracellular vesicles,which directly stimulate target cells through receptor-mediated interaction,or exert their biological functions by transferring various bioactive molecules to target cells,playing a key role in intercellular communi-cation between cells and their microenvironment.From the perspective of tissue engineering,pulp regeneration refers to the combination of scaffolds,stem cells,and signaling factors implanted into a properly treated pulp cavity.Under the action of scaffolds and signaling factors,stem cells proliferate and differentiate to form pulp dentin-like complexes,restoring pulp function.In recent years,studies have found that p38MAPK,TGF-β/SMAD,Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway and some other signaling pathways are important for the se-cretion in regulating pulp regeneration,and play a key role in pulp regeneration.Therefore,this article reviews the mechanism and re-search progress of signaling pathways related to the regulation of pulp regeneration by exosomes.

OBJECTIVETo study the structural integrity and continuity of the bilateral uncinate fasciculus (UF) in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) using magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and evaluate the impact of structural damage of the UF on the executive function of the patients.

METHODSThirty patients with TLE (14 left, 16 right) and 15 healthy control subjects underwent DTI scanning between January, 2007 and July, 2011, and the left and right UF were analyzed for fractional anisotropy (FA) and fiber mean length.

RESULTSIn the control subjects, the average FA was significantly higher in the left than in the right UF (P<0.01). In patients with left TLE, the average FA of the left UF was significantly lower than that of the control subjects (P<0.01), but the FA of the right UF was comparable with that of the control group (P>0.05). In patients with right TLE, the average FA of the left and right UF was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05 and P<0.01). In patients with unilateral TLE, the FA of their bilateral UF was similar. No significant difference was found in the mean length of UF fiber between these 3 groups.

CONCLUSIONSFA is normally higher in the left UF than in the right UF, but inpatients with TLE, the left FA tends to have a lowered UF regardless of which hemisphere is involved, suggesting an early pathology in the microstructure of the left UF. This finding may help in the investigation of possible reasons for executive function damage in TLE patients.

Phytochemical studies of the the herb Sarcopyramis bodinieri var. delicate (Melastomataceae) have been carried out. The compounds were separated by repeated D101 macroporous adsorption resin column combined with Sephadex LH-20, ODS, and silica gel chromatgrophy. The structures were identified on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analysis, and by comparison of their spectral data with those reported. Eight flavonoid compounds isolated from the ethyl acetate extract was identified as isorhamnetin (1), quercetin (2), isorhamnetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), isorhamnetin-3-O-(6"-acetyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5), isorhamnetin-3-O-(2"-acetyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6), quercetin-3-O-(6"-acetyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (7), and quercetin- 3-O-(6"-O-E-p-coumaroyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (8). All of the compounds were separated from the genus of Sarcopyramis for the first time.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy ofendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) plus percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD) of biliary reunion in the treatment of biliary occlusion after liver transplantation.Methods:From May 2018 to August 2019, clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for 9 patients with biliary tract occlusion after an initial liver transplantation. All of them underwent biliary reunion. An endoscopist performed ERCP while an interventional physician completed PTCD with bilateral guide wire under the same anesthetic period so that bilateral guide wire completed a reunion at biliary occlusion for re-opening biliary tract or establishing a new bile duct outflow path. Postoperative follow-ups were performed for observing the treatment outcomes and various factors of biliary stricture factors analyzed.Results:All of them received PTCD or T-tube sinus angiography and interventional treatment. The diagnosis of complete biliary occlusion was definite. After treatment, 7 cases of biliary tract reunion were successful. During operation, three reunion types of guide wire biliary, intestinal cavity and intra-abdominal cavity were employed. Two failed cases received continuous PTCD drainage after operation. The influencing factors of biliary tract stenosis were retrospectively analyzed after operation. Among them, there were non-anastomotic stenosis ( n=2), biliary leakage ( n=2) and anastomotic stenosis and long tortuous biliary tract ( n=5). Conclusions:Rapid, mini-invasive and safe, ERCP plus PTCD biliary tract reunion may be employed as a first choice for biliary occlusion after liver transplantation.

Apoptosis is proved responsible for renal damage during ischemia/reperfusion. The regulation for renal apoptosis induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) has still been unclearly characterized to date. In the present study, we investigated the regulation of histone acetylation on IRI-induced renal apoptosis and the molecular mechanisms in rats with the application of curcumin possessing a variety of biological activities involving inhibition of apoptosis. Sprague–Dawley rats were randomized into four experimental groups (SHAM, IRI, curcumin, SP600125). Results showed that curcumin significantly decreased renal apoptosis and caspase-3/-9 expression and enhanced renal function in IRI rats. Treatment with curcumin in IRI rats also led to the decrease in expression of p300/cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CBP) and activity of histone acetyltransferases (HATs). Reduced histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) acetylation was found near the promoter region of caspase-3/-9 after curcumin treatment. In a similar way, SP600125, an inhibitor of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), also attenuated renal apoptosis and enhanced renal function in IRI rats. In addition, SP600125 suppressed the binding level of p300/CBP and H3K9 acetylation near the promoter region of caspase-3/-9, and curcumin could inhibit JNK phosphorylation like SP600125. These results indicate that curcumin could attenuate renal IRI via JNK/p300/CBP-mediated anti-apoptosis signaling.
