Objective To study the spinal neurocyte apoptosis and the changes of p53 in chronic fluorosis rats,and the improvement after drinking no fluoride water.Methods One hundred twenty Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups by random number table method according to body mass,30 rats in one group fed with high concentration NaF water (200 mg/L) to make fluorosis model and classified as high fluoride group;other 30 rats were fed with distilled water as control group;another 30 rats were fed with high concentration NaF water (200 mg/L) for 12 weeks,then fed with distilled water for 12 weeks and classified as defluorination group;the rest 30 rats were classified as defluorination control group.The content of fluoride in urine was tested after the 4th,8th,and 12th weeks.Then the content of fluoride in urine of defluorination group and defluorination control group was tested.The high fluoride group rats and control group rats were killed after 12th week.Defluorination group rats and defluorination control group rats were killed after 24th week.Their spinal cord was collected.The expression of p53 protein in spinal cord was detected by immunohistochemistry and Westem blotting.Apoptosis of the neurocyte was quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM).Results By FCM,apoptosis of neurocyte was increased in both high fluorosis group rats and defluorination group rats compared with those in control group rats [(3.36 ± 0.71)％ vs.(0.78 ± 0.65)％;(3.47 ± 0.56)％ vs.(0.83 ± 0.64)％,t =14.680,17.003,all P ＜ 0.01)],but no difference was found between these two groups [(3.47 ± 0.56)％ vs.(3.36 ± 0.71)％,P ＞ 0.05)].Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting revealed that p53 expression in spinal cord of high fluorosis group rats was increased compared with those in control group rats (422.69 ± 12.35 vs.177.82 ± 14.16;253.37 ± 10.42 vs.87.14 ± 7.39,t =77.212,72.988,all P ＜ 0.01).And p53 expression in spinal cord of defluorination group rats was increased compared with those in control group rats (418.75 ± 11.84 vs.163.47 ± 8.57;248.29 ± 10.23 vs.98.74 ± 11.52,t =95.663,53.167,all P＜ 0.01).But the differences were not statistically significant (418.75 ± 11.84 vs.422.69 ± 12.35;248.29 ± 10.23 vs.253.37 ± 10.42,t =1.261,1.906,all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions There is apoptosis of neurocytes in the spinal cord of chronic fluorosis rats;overexpression of p53 probably plays an important role in the mechanism of damage induced by excessive fluorine.Apoptosis can not be recovered after defluorination for a short time,and persistent overexpression of p53 may be one of the reasons that apoptosis of neurocytes in the spinal cord can not decrease.

Objective To study the causes of hematoma-induced spinal cord injury after surgical treatment of fluorosis cervical canal stenosis (FCCS) so as to conclude the methods for early diagnosis and treatment.Methods A retrospective review was conducted on 329 cases of FCCS undergone expansive laminoplasty (ELOP) between 2006 and 2009.Eighteen out of the 329 cases presented with neural deterioration in postoperative 2 weeks,including l 1 males and 7 females at age of 45-73 years (mean 56.9 years).MRI scan at postoperative 1-5 days confirmed that the injury cause was hematoma formation (incidence of 5.47％).Once the definite diagnosis was made,immediate local puncture decompression,immobilization in the prone position as well as a timely second surgical probe and spinal decompression were performed.Results Nerve symptom of the 18 cases obtained different degree of recovery.Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score promoted from preoperative (7.44 ± 1.25) points to (12.6 ± 2.1)points at 12 months after second operation.Scatter plot between time of definite diagnosis and improvement value in JOA score before and after the second operation was drawn so as to establish linear equation (Y =6.240 7-0.777 8X(F =9.89,P ＜0.01).As a result,the two variables presented a negative linear relationship,which suggested a better outcome after early treatment than delayed treatment.Conclusions Hematoma compression is the main cause of spinal cord injury following operation for FCCS patients.Strict hematosis and alternate lateral clinostatism after operation were effective prevention methods.Besides,early diagnosis and timely treatment are critically important.
