    Objective To observe the anatomic characteristics of pineal region and its adjacent structures by simulating midline and paramedian SCIT approach under neuroendoscopy, so as to provide anatomic basis for endoscopic treatment of lesions in this area. Methods Five adult cadaveric heads fixed with formalin were selected to simulate the midline and paramedian SCIT approachs under neuroendoscopy. The structure of pineal region was observed and measured, and the exposure of the two surgical approaches was compared. Results The distance from the dura mater midline and paramedian SCIT approachs under neuroendoscopy to the cerebellar fissure vein were (58.14±1.62) mm and (76.51±2.25) mm, and the relative degree of freedom were (0.09±0.01), (0.05±0.01). The relative degrees of freedom of pineal gland were (0.47±0.01) and (0.35±0.09), and the relative degrees of freedom of superior colliculus were (0.26±0.05) and (0.40±0.07). The left and right operable angles of the pineal gland were (14.85±0.35) and (17.86±1.03) degrees, respectively, and the anterior and posterior angles were (21.40±1.41) and (15.00±3.06) degrees. The left and right operable angles of the corpus callosum were (14.55±0.07) and (17.04±1.57) degrees, and the anterior and posterior angles were (14.60±0.71) and (18.76±2.83) degrees. The left and right operable angles of the ipsilateral superior colliculus were (15.63±5.08) and (21.62±2.19) degrees, and the anterior and posterior angles were (11.18±4.72) and (18.94±4.08) degrees. There were statistical difference between them (P<0.05). Conclusions Midline SCIT approach and paramedian SCIT approach have their own advantages. The surgical approach should be selected according to the specific location of the lesion.

    Objective To observe the anatomical structure of the first denticulate ligament at the craniocervical junction and to discuss its clinical significance.    Methods    Eighteen cranial-neck specimens were dissected and were stripped to observe the structure of the first denticulate ligament. Its starting and finishing, adjacency, course and its morphology were observed.  The histological characteristics of the ligament was detected by HE staining. Results The first denticulate ligament were found in left and right side of all specimens (occurrence rate: 100%), with the membrane type in 9 cases (accounting for 50%); dense type in 4 cases (accounting for 22.2%); loose type in 5 cases (accounting for 27.8%). The first denticulate ligament was located laterally to the superior medulla oblongata, the fibers converged outwards and upward in a long triangle, crossing behind the vertebral artery and ending in the epidural and fusing with the dura mater. The attachment part on the spinal cord was located between the anterior root and posterior root of the spinal nerve, the distal part was integrated with the 2nd ~ 8th dentate ligament, and the proximal part reached the level of the medulla oblongata. Histological result showed that the denticulate ligament was composed of collagen fibers.   Conclusions The first denticulate ligament plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the spinal cord. Subarachnoid space is divided into a front part and a back part by denticulate ligament. Cerebrospinal fluid pressure imbalance can lead to different stress on the anterior and posterior parts of the spinal cord. And the anterior spinal cord may be subjected to higher pressure stimulation to aggravate or induce the injury of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord and the corticospinal tract, which may be one of the anatomical factors leading to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

    Objective To observe and measure the stop-point morphologic features of the peroneus tertius (PT), and provide anatomic basis for ligament reconstruction. Methods The distance from the tendon junction to the PT insertion point (D1), the distance from the PT insertion point to the extensor subservient distal band (D2) were measured. The width and thickness of the insertion point and the attachment of the muscle tendon were recorded in 34 cases of the isolated ankle joint specimens and were classified according to the type of insertion point.   Results    According to the PT insertion point pattern, the occurrence rate of the different patterns were 17.65 %, 35.29 %, 41.18 % and 5.88 %, respectively.  The distance from the PT insertion point to the extensor subservient distal band was (58.12±6.82) mm. The distance from the tendon junction to the PT insertion point was (68.22±6.76) mm. The width of PT insertion point was (32.59±10.61) mm. The width of the PT tendon joint was (3.91±0.73) mm. The PT thickness was (1.12±0.18) mm. The D2 and the some PT patterns were not completely same, and there was statistical significance among them (H = 15.645, P<0.05). The D1 and the some PT patterns were not completely same, and there was statistical significance between them (H = 15.027, P<0.05). The width of PT terminal point in each pattern was not completely same, and there were statistical significance between them (H = 28.098, P<0.05). The width of the junction of the tendons in each PT pattern was not completely same, and there were statistical significance between them (H = 7.919, P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the thickness of PT (H = 1.638, P>0.05).    Conclusions  The occurrence rate of type Ⅲ stop-point is the highest, and that of type IV stop-point is the lowest. There were no significant differences in length, width, body side and gender, but there were significant differences in the type of stop-point, which is helpful for clinical ligament reconstruction and other operations.

    Objective To study the position and morphological features of the arcuate line and get better understanding of its clinical significance, so as to provide the applied anatomical data and operation guide for the totally extraperitoneal (TEP) herniorrhaphy.    Methods   The arcuate line was dissected and observed during TEP in 60 cases of adult patients with primary inguinal hernia. The location and length of the arcuate line were determined by puncturing needle vertically through the skin, and its morphology and quantity data were recorded. Results The arcuate line was recorded and divided into four groups, namely, a classical group (4~5 cm) in 15 cases (accounting for 25.0%), a high level group (less than 3 cm) in one case (accounting for 1.7 %), a low level group (6~12 cm) in 43 cases(accounting for 71.6%), an absent arcuate line group in one case (accounting for 1.7%). Twenty-two cases were single arcuate line (accounting for 36.7%), while 38 cases were multiple arcuate line (accounting for 63.3%). Two cases were the straight shaped arcuate line (accounting for 3.3%), 28 cases and 29 cases were the arc-shaped and the transition shaped arcuate line  (accounting for 46.7% and 48.3 %  respectively).    Conclusions     The arcuate line is the free margin formed by the absence of the posterior layer of the rectus sheath. There are great differences in its position, morphology and number. The variation of arcuate line not only increases the difficulty of the TEP surgery, but also increases the complications. The arcuate line has important clinical significance in the TEP operation.

    Objective To measure the anatomical parameters of lumbar laminae interval space with lower lumbar disc herniation (LDH) by an imaging method and to explore the clinical significance in minimally invasive spinal surgery. Methods One hundred and forty-five anteroposterior X-ray films with single lumbar disc herniation (L4/5 and L5/S1) were enrolled. The morphological characteristics of the lumbar vertabral laminae interval space between affected side (a symptoms group) and healthy side (a control group) were compared. The height, width and the area of the bilateral vertebral laminae interval space in the segments of L4/5 and L5/S1 were measured by X-rays according to the gender. The available diameter of lumbar laminae interval space was measured by lumbar vertebra 3D CT. Then all data were analyzed statistically.  Results  From the anteroposterior X-ray films of lumbar laminae interval space, the shape of the vertebral laminae interval space in the segments of L4/5 and L5/S1 in the healthy side group was oval, while the shape in the affected side group were in triangle and oblate shapes. The incidence of lumber disc space stenosis in the affected side group was 68.1% in total, including 65.1% happened in L4/5 segment and the incidence of L5/S1 segment was 71%. With the changing in the width of lumbar laminae interval space, the height also changed. The 3D CT result showed that the available diameter of the vertebral laminae interval space in 76.5% of the patients was smaller than the diameter of the working channel. 72.3% of which were located in the L4/5 segment, and 80.6% in the L5/S1 segment. The mean height, width and the area as well as available diameter of the lumbar vertebral laminae interval space in male group were higher than those in female group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The average height, width and the area as well as the available diameter in segment L5/S1 were larger than those in segment L4/5. Conclusions There was a closed association between lumbar disc herniation and the change of lumbar laminae interval space. With the understanding of the height, width, the area and available diameter of the lumbar vertebral laminae interval space would guide to select the minimally invasive surgical approach and the surgical procedure.

    Objective To investigate the effects of relatively low dose of ionizing radiation on adult cognition and hippocampal neurogenesis in juvenile mice, and to illuminate the relationship between relatively low dose of irradiation, cognitive function and neurogenesis. Methods 20 Kunming mice were randomly divided into two groups at postnatal 21 days: a radiation group and a control group (P21) (n = 10 each group). The radiation group was exposured with an acute whole body irradiation with a dose of 5 Gy at P21, the normal control group was sham irradiated. The two groups of mice were weighed before being exposured, at 2 months old and 4 months old, respectively. At 4-month-old, each mouse was experimented with open field test (OPT), new object recognition experiment (NOR), fear conditioning test (FC) and Morris Water Maze test (MWM). Brain sections were then immunostaining for different markers including Ki67 (mark proliferation neuron), doublecortin (DCX, mark differentiation and migration neuron), calbindin (CB, mark interneuron), and parvalbumin (PV, mark interneuron) in hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Results  (1) In the body weight test, both at 2 and 4 months of age, the percentage of mice’ body weight gain in the radiated group was significantly lower than that of the control group (t=3.02, P<0.05; t=4.22, P<0.01). (2) There were no significant differences in the distance traveled within 5 min in OPT ( t=-1.672, P>0.05), the DI in NOR (t=0.753, P>0.05), the contextual memory related freezing time ( t=-0.885,P>0.05) and the clued memory related freezing time (t=0.15, P>0.05) in FC, the average escape latency (F=2.30,P>0.05) in MWM and the times of crossing platform (t=-1.07, P>0.05) between the two groups. (3) However, Ki67, DCX, CB and PV labeled neurons number in DG in irradiation group were significantly lower than that of the control group (Ki67, t=2.80, P<0.05; DCX, t=6.63, P<0.001;CB, t=3.75, P<0.01; PV, t=5.39, P<0.001). Conclusions (1) Relatively low doses (5 Gy) of ionizing radiation in juvenile stage cause slow body weight gain in mice. (2) Relatively low doses (5 Gy) of irradiation exposure to juvenile mice do not cause learning and memory disorder when mice were tested in adult, but it resulted in declining of neurogenesis in SGZ. (3) The decreasing of neurogenesis induced by irradiation includes injury of a series of processes such as proliferation, division, differentiation, migration and maturation of neurons.

    Objective To observe the changes of lipid droplet in cardiomyocytes and cardiac function of hyperlipidemia rats, and the expression changes of heart type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP). Methods High fat diet SD male rats was established hyperlipidemia rat model. After feeding for 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks, the cardiac function of the rats was detected and the heart was removed. Frozen sections were stained with oil red O, and the distribution of lipid droplets in the myocardium was observed under light microscope. The changes of lipid droplets in myocardium were observed by transmission electron microscope. The expression of H-FABP in cardiomyocytes and myocardium was detected by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and Western blotting. Results Compared with the normal diet rats, the serum triglyceride and total cholesterol increased significantly in the high-fat diet rats, the most obvious was in the 12 week, accompanied by a significant reduction in ejection fraction, increasing of lipid droplets in myocardial cells. The number of H-FABP in myocardium and myocardium increased significantly at the 8th week and the 12th week. Conclusions The myocardium of hyperlipidemia rats occurs fatty degeneration. With the increasing concentration of blood lipid, the fatty degeneration and the heart function decrease, which may be related to the increasing of H-FABP expression and the increasing of fatty acid oxidation in cardiac myocytes.

    Objective To investigate the effect of miR-146a on cisplatin sensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma HNE-1 / DDP cells and its possible mechanism. Methods The experiment was divided into three groups: a blank control group, a negative control group and a mimics-miR-146a group. MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation inhibition of cells after different treatments. Annexin V-FITC / PI assay was used to detect apoptosis. Western blot was used to detect the relative expression levels of cyclin CCNJ, MRP1, P-gp. RT-qPCR was used to detect the relative expression level of CCNJ mRNA. Results  Compared with other two groups, the survival rate, the relative protein expression levels of MRP1, P-gp, CCNJ and the relative expression level of CCNJ mRNA of mimics-miR-146a reduced, while the apoptosis rate increased. There were statistical differences in the survival rate, the relative protein expression levels of MRP1, P-gp, CCNJ, the relative expression level of CCNJ mRNA and the apoptosis rate among the three groups (P<0.05). Conclusions miR-146a can increase the sensitivity of HNE-1/DDP to DDP which mechanism may be through miR-146a inhibiting the expression of CCNJ to regulate downstream proteins MRP1,P-gp,and then to reduce cell resistance.

    Objective To evaluate the applicability and mechanism of citric acid copolymer - hydroxyapatite (POC-click-HA) screws in treatment of lateral femoral condyle fracture of canine. Methods Nine adult male Beagles (weighing 9~12 kg) were selected to prepare the models (AO classification type B1) of bilateral lateral femoral condyle fracture, the right side was fixed with POC-click-HA absorbable cannulated screws as an experimental group and left side with Poly-DL-Lactic acid(PDLLA) screws as a control group. At 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks after operation,Micro-CT and histological analysis were taken to observe the fracture healing. The osteogenesis effect of MC3T3 E1 cell were observed by the Kreb’s cycle inhibitors of the CPI-613 and exogenous citric acid (CA). Results   Micro-CT result showed that the combination of POC-click-HA screw and bone was weaker than PDLLA screw at 4 weeks after surgery. At 8 weeks, the two groups of screws were gradually integrated with the surrounding bone tissue, with no significant difference. At 12 weeks, the screw-bone tissues of both groups were well bonded. Histological staining analysis result showed that new bone was gradually formed around the screws in experimental group. The screws were degrading and new bone was growing in. However, there were still more collagen fibers around the screws in the control group, only a few new bones were seen, and the screws were not degraded. The results of cell culture showed that the citric acid in the medium significantly reduced after the addition of cpi-613 inhibitor. The higher concentration of inhibitor, the fewer ALP positive cells were formed. The higher the citric acid concentration, the more calcium nodules formed.   Conclusions Compared with PLLA screw, POC -click-HA bone screw has stronger bone induction ability and faster bone degradation,which can be better utilized for Beagles’ lateral femoral condyle B1 fractures. The mechanism for Citric acid material to promote fracture healing may be related to the TCA cycle.

    Objective By comparing the modeling effect and stability of the mouse asthma model, to determine the best way to model. Methods BALB/c female mice of SPF grade for 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into 5 groups, including 20 μg sensitized atomizing inhalation challenge group (20-INH), 100-INH group, 20 μg sensitized intratracheal instillation challenge group (20-ITI) and 100-ITI group ,control group. Mice were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin(OVA)to make asthmatic models . The mice were sensitized with 20 μg and 100 μg OVA on 0, 7 and 14 days respectively. From day 21, challenged by atomizing inhalation way or intratracheal instillation way. Within 24 h following the last challenge, the airway hyper responsiveness(AHR) of the mice was assessed. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was taken for cells count and the left lung were examined pathologically. ELISA was used to detect the levels of serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE). Results The AHR, the total cells of BALF, the eosinophil count of BALF and serum total IgE level significantly increased in the groups of 20-INH, 100-INH and 100-ITI. All asthma groups had obvious airway inflammation infiltration and high mucus secretion. Among the groups, the 100-ITI was good at showing asthma characteristics. The standard deviation of each data of the model of intratracheal instillation was lower than that of the atomizing inhalation model.   Conclusions   The stimulation mode of intratracheal instillation can successfully establish a mouse asthma model at the sensitizing dose of 100 μg OVA, and the increasing of the airway mucus secretion and serum total IgE are more obvious.

    Objective To compare the chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) in vitro by three components of chondrogenic induction medium. Methods hASCs were extracted from human adipose tissues and then performed in monolayer culture and microsphere culture respectively. Three kinds of different components of chondrogenic induction medium (group A: Fetal bovine serum (FBS) + high concentration TGF-β3, group B: Insulin, Transferrin, Selenium Solution (ITS) + low concentration TGF-β3, group C: ITS + high concentration TGF-β3) were added. After 3 weeks, the cell proteins in monolayer culture were extracted for detection of cartilage-related markers, and the cell microspheres were stained with Toluidine blue, Alcian blue, Sirius red to compare the effect of cartilage formation. Results  After 3 weeks, the expression of cartilage markers was the highest in the group C of monolayer culture system, and the staining of microspheres was also the deepest in the group C. Conclusions As a medium additive, ITS has a better effect than FBS in inducing chondrogenic differentiation of hASCs. As an important growth factor stimulating chondrogenesis of hASCs, the concentration of 10 ng/ml TGF-β3 has a stronger effect than the concentration of 1 ng/ml.

     Objective    To investigate the expression and localization of platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) at different stages after substantia nigra striatum injury in mice.   Methods    The substantia nigra striatum pathway was unilaterally transected in 8 weeks old BALB/c mice. According to the method of Baidan, brain tissues of 2 mm around the injury brain were examined on the 1st, 4th, 7th and 14th day after operation. The expression of p-PDGFR alpha protein was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot. Immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the localized expression of p-PDGFR alpha.   Results   Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot showed that the expression of p-PDGFR alpha reached its peak level 4 days after injury. Double immunofluorescence staining showed that p-PDGFR alpha was expressed in astrocytes, microglia, leukocytes and oligodendrocytes.   Conclusions   Brain injury can activate PDGFR alpha and express around the injury. Activated PDGFR alpha may be related to the proliferation of astrocytes, microglia, leukocytes and oligodendrocytes.

    Objective To investigate the expression of immunoscore and PD-L1 in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), and to analyze the relationship between the expression of PD-L1 and immunoscore and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of HCC. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of immunoscore and PD-L1 in 61 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma tissue, and to analyze the relationship between the expression of immunoscore and PD-L1 in hepatocellular carcinoma and different clinicopathological features and prognosis.Results The expression rate of high-immunoscore was 26.2%, the low-immunoscore expression rate was 73.8%. In clinical indicators,the positive expression rate of immunoscore was negatively related to patient's preoperative AFP level (P<0.005), and intrahepatic recurrence (P<0.05), but not to factors of patient’s age, gender, tumor size, differentiation, and  non-vascular invasion correlated (P>0.05). Kaplan–Meier analysis presented that the immunoscore showed good stratification between high-immunoscore and low-immunoscore groups in both overall survival (P<0.01) and progression-free survival (P<0.01), respectively. The positive expression rate of PD-L1 in hepatocellular carcinoma was 44.3%, which was significantly higher than that in normal control group (P<0.01).Kaplan-Meier analysis presented that the PD-L1-positive patients was significantly lower in patients with negative PD-L1-negative patients. In clinical indicators,the positive expression rate of PD-L1 was negatively related to patient’s immunoscore (P<0.01).Conclusions The expression of immunoscore can be used as an important prognostic maker for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients with high-immunoscore are significantly associated with a prolonged OS and PFS, however patients with low-immunoscore are more likely to occur early recurrence, prognosis is even worse. The positive expression rate of PD-L1 is negatively related to patient’s immunoscore.

    Objective To explore the clinical application value of digital biliary system in minimally invasive surgery for complex gallstone disease. Methods 41 patients with complex cholelithiasis were selected from April 2018 to July 2019. They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. In the experimental group, the hepatobiliary model which established by their CT data was introduced to the digital biliary tract system, and then were applied in preoperative evaluation, surgical simulation, and lithotripsy extraction plan for intraoperative guidance. Minimally invasive surgery was performed on the two groups. Reexamination of stones and recurrence were detected by ultrasound or CT. Results The biliary tract and stones in the experimental group were consistent with those in the digital biliary system. The actual surgical method was consistent with the preoperative simulation and planning. The mean operation time was (160.10 ± 78.82) min, the intraoperative bleeding volume was (2.95±2.28) ml, and the intestinal recovery time was (1.13±0.70) days, all were less than those in the control group. No severe perioperative complications, residual stones and recurrence occurred. In the control group, there were 2 cases of residual stones, 1 case of gastrointestinal bleeding, and 2 cases of recurrence of stones. Conclusions The digital biliary system showed good guiding significance and application value for minimally invasive surgery for complex cholelithiasis. It could decrease the operation time and intraoperative bleeding and shorten intestinal recovery time and would be safe and efficient.

    Objective To study the morphological characteristics of lateral ankle ligaments and to explore their clinical significance. Methods Dissection was performed on 43 ankle specimens. Bundle number, route, origin and insertion for each lateral ankle ligament, and fibrous relationship near their attachments were observed and recorded. Results Anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) were dissected in all specimens. According to the number of ATFL bundles, the single bundle, double bundles and three bundles were defined as typeⅠ, typeⅡ and typeⅢ, accounting for 27.9%, 65.1 % and 7%, respectively. Based on the surface-deep position of the insertions of ATFL and CFL fibers at the fibula, they were divided into the following type: superficial type (8 cases, accounting for 18.6%), parallel type (19 cases, accounting for 44.2%), deep type (9 cases, accounting for 20.9%) and mixed type (7 cases, accounting for 16.3%). According to the superior-inferior attachment of ATFL-CFL, the insertion was divided into the following type: total type (5 cases, accounting for 9.3%), superior type (15 cases, accounting for 34.9%) and inferior type (24 cases, accounting for 55.8%). In 7 specimens, ATFL and CFL inserted on fibula with a complex structure, accounting for 16.3% of the total sample size. Lateral talocalcaneal ligament (LTCL) was present in 46.5% (20/43) specimens: type A 25.6%, type B 20.9%. LTCL was absent in the remaining 23 cases (53.5%). Conclusions The lateral ankle ligaments in Chinese specimens has some morphological variability. Morphological study would be helpful for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and it might provide anatomical basis for further exploration of the function of these ligaments.

    Objective To provide anatomical basis for mini plate internal fixation of bony mallet finger by anatomical study of the zoneⅠ terminal extensor tendon and adjacent tissues. Methods Ten adult hand cadavers’ upper limb specimens were dissected and the anatomical relationships between nail matrix, nail root and zoneⅠ terminal extensor tendon were observed. Microscopically, the distance from the terminal extensor tendon to nail root, nail matrix, articular surface were measured. The width of zoneⅠ terminal extensor tendon and the transverse and vertical diameters of phalangette joints were measured. Results The proximal margin of the nail root did not completely cover the germinal matrix, and the distance between the zoneⅠ terminal extensor tendon and the germinal matrix was(1.21±0.21)mm.There was a loose connective tissue between them. The width of terminal extensor tendon was(6.27±1.23)mm,  horizontal thickness was (1.02±0.21) mm. The distance between the zoneⅠ terminal extensor tendon and the articular of the distal interphalanx was (1.22±0.21)mm. The transverse diameter of the distal phalanx articular surface was (8.00±2.21)  mm, the longitudinal diameter was (6.22±1.21)mm. ZoneⅠ terminal extensor tendon was closely connected to the dorsal articular capsule of distal interphalangeal joint. Conclusions The longitudinal dorsal median skin incision on the distal phalangeal bone can fully reveal the tissue structure around zoneⅠ terminal extensor tendon. In fixing the avulsed fracture fragment of the distal phalanx, the plate is partially overlapped with the nail matrix, and the nail root and nail matrix need to be partially incised. The terminal extensor tendon is closely linked to the dorsal capsule of distal interphalangeal joint, where the zoneⅠterminal extensor tendon has a dorsal fibrous cartilage tissue plate, just like the volar plate.

    Objective To observe the morphology and blood supply pattern of the trapezium bone and trapezoid bone, and provide reasonable anatomical basis for the clinical application. Methods Twelve wrist specimens were perfused with a mixture of lead oxide and gelatin powder into the main arteries of the wrist. After the perfusion, the Micro-CT scan was performed. The scanning data were imported into the software of Mimics for three-dimensional reconstruction. The morphology of the trapezium bone and trapezoid bone was observed, the number and location of the nutrient foramens were recorded, and the anastomosis and course of the blood vessels in the bone were analyzed. Results  (1)The trapezium bone had a relatively constant number of nutrient foramen distributed on the three non-articular surfaces, which was (2.66±0.49) foramen on the radial side, (2.75±0.62) foramen on the dorsal side, and (2.33±0.65) foramen on the volar side, there were no statistical difference in the number of nutrient foramen among the three non-articular sides. The nourishing blood vessels branched out after penetrating into the bone and widely anastomosed with each other. About 70% of the blood supply in the bone came from the dorsal side, while 30% came from the volar and radial sides. (2) The trapezoid bone had a relatively constant number of nutrient foramen distributed on the two non-articular surfaces, (2.75±0.45) foramen on the dorsal side, and (2.42±0.51) foramen on the volar side, there were no statistical difference in the number of nutrient foramens between the two non-articular sides. The nourishing blood vessels branched out after penetrating into the bone, but its intraosseous blood vessel branch anastomosis was not as rich as that of the trapezium bone. About 70% of the blood supply in the bone came from the dorsal side, and 30% came from the volar side. Conclusions (1) The trapezium bone is rich in nourishing blood vessels from inside and outside the bone, which may be the reason why the incidence of the trapezium bone avascular necrosis is lower than other carpal bones. (2) The nourishing blood vessels outside the trapezoid bone are relatively abundant, but the intraosseous vascular anastomosis is not as rich as the large bone, this may be the main reason why the trapezoid bone are more prone to non-traumatic ischemic osteonecrosis than the trapezium bone.

    Objective To explore the role of MicroRNA(miR)-206 on regulating of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase(ERK) 1/2 signaling pathway by targeting connexin(Cx) 43 in rabbit model of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head. Methods Sixty mature rabbits were randomly divided into a model group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). Rabbit model of femoral head necrosis was made with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and methylprednisolone (MPS). The establishment of the model was determined by MRI and HE staining after modeled 2、8 and 16 weeks. Total RNA and protein were extracted from the femoral head. In situ hybridization and Quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR) were employed to detect the change of miRNA-206; qPCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of Cx43、ERK1/2 and Runx2. Results The model success rate was 70%. In situ hybridization result showed that the miR-206 expressed in rabbit femoral head medullary space, osteoblasts and osteocyte. Compared with the control group, miR-206 expression of the model group up-regulated at 2 weeks, 8 weeks and 16 weeks after modeling, the expression of Cx43 and Runx2 mRNA in the model group down-regulated, the expression of Cx43、ERK1/2 and Runx2 protein in the model group also down-regulated. Conclusions miR-206 can be involved in the occurrence, development and repair of steroid-induced femoral head necrosis by down-regulating its target protein CX43, inhibiting the ERK1/2 signaling pathway and osteogenic differentiation.

    Objective To investigate the role of the nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway in reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) by morphine preconditioning in rats with heart failure induced by doxorubicin hydrochloride. Methods The HF model rats were randomly divided into the following 5 groups: a sham group, a model group, a MFC group, a MOA group and an OAD group. The normal group was set at the same time. The HF model rats were ligated at the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery for 30 minutes and then were perfused for 120 minutes to construct the MIRI model. The MFC group rats were pretreated with morphine before operation. The OAD group rats were pretreated with Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway inhibitor before operation, the MOA group with Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway inhibitor plus morphine.  TUNEL was used to detect the apoptosis rate. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1. Results Compared with the normal group, the apoptosis rate and the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 in the model group significantly increased. Compared with the model group, the apoptosis rate of the MFC group significantly reduced, and the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 significantly increased. Compared with the MFC group, the apoptosis rate of the MOA group significantly increased, and the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 significantly reduced. Compared with the model group, the apoptosis rate of the OAD group significantly increased, and the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 significantly increased. There were statistical differences in the expressions of Nrf2, HO-1 and the apoptosis rate among the groups (P<0.05). Conclusions In the MIRI rat model induced by HF, morphine preconditioning can obviously activate the Nrf2/ARE pathway and inhibit cell apoptosis.

    Objective To observe the ultrastructural changes of decidual tissues in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) model mice after treated with E003. Methods The RSA model mice was established, the experiment was divided into the following four groups: a normal pregnancy control group, a RSA model group, a low dose E003 group and a high dose E003 group.  After 14 days of continuous gavage of E003, decidual tissues were taken. Light microscope was used to observe the vascular and cell morphology of decidual tissue, ultrastructure of decidual tissue. Results The uterus was dissected to calculate the absorption rate of the embryo. The results showed that the E003 treatment group (low-dose group and high-dose group) had lower embryo absorption rate than that of the RSA model group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in embryo absorption rate between the high-dose E003 group and the normal pregnancy group (P>0.05). Compared with the normal pregnancy group, the number of decidual cells in RSA model group significantly reduced. Compared with the model group, the decidua cells in the low dose group and the high dose group increased in number and were arranged neatly. Under electron microscope, the volume of deciduous cell in the RSA model group decreased compared with the normal pregnancy group, the space of cells was larger, vascular wall was incomplete, vascular endothelial cell structure was incomplete and the nucleus was fusiform. Compared with the model group, the intercellular space and volume of decidual cell volume in the E003 low-dose group increased. The vascular wall was more complete, the vascular endothelial cells were long fusiform, the vascular endothelial cell structure was more complete, and the intercellular space was slightly wider. The decidual cell tissue and blood vessel in the high-dose E003 group was close to the normal pregrancy group.    Conclusions    RSA model mice have the barrier of maternal-fetal interface angiogenesis, and E003 can repair the damaged cell structure in the decidua tissue of RSA model mice, improve the morphology of angiogenesis and organelles, which has a certain therapeutic effect on RSA model mice.

    Objective To investigate the effects of seabuckthorn polysaccharide (SP) on insulin resistance, liver and kidney function damage in diabetic rats. Methods Rats were randomly divided into the following groups: a control group, a streptozocin  (STZ) group, a rosiglitazone (RSG) group (4 mg.kg-1.d-1) and a low, a medium and a high dose SP group (50, 100, 200 mg.kg-1.d-1). All rats except the control group were established as type II diabetes model. After drug treatment, the body weight, bilateral kidney weight, fasting blood sugar and insulin levels were measured by balance, blood glucose meter and Elisa, and renal hypertrophy index and insulin resistance index were calculated. The levels of HbA1C and adiponectin were detected by Elisa, and the levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, PRO, Scr and BUN were detected by biochemical analyzer. Oil red O and HE staining were used to observe hepatic fat deposition and renal histomorphology. Western Blot was used to detect the activation level of PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway. Results Compared with the model group, the body weight, adiponectin and HDL-C content in the medium and high doses of SP group significantly increased (P<0.05). While the blood glucose content, insulin resistance index, kidney hypertrophy index, HbA1C, plasma insulin, the levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, proteinuria, Scr, BUN in the medium and high doses of SP group significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). SP could alleviate liver lipid deposition and kidney damage, and inhibit the activity of PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway in rats. Conclusions Seabucthorn Polysaccharide can alleviate insulin resistance, liver and kidney function damage in diabetic rats, its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PERK/ATF4/CHOP pathway activity.
