OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-alpha) on spinal motor neurons after peripheral nerve injury. METHODS: Twenty Wistar rats were divided into two groups, the right sciatic nerves of 20 Wistar rats were transected, the proximal stumps were inserted into a single blind silicone tube. 16 microliters of normal saline(NS) and TNF-alpha(30 U/ml) were injected into the silicone tubes. After 2 weeks, the 4th, 5th lumbar spinal cord were taken for examination. Enzyme histochemical technique and image analysis were used to show acetylcholinesterase(AChE) and nitric oxide synthase(NOS) activity of spinal motor neurons. RESULTS: The number of AChE and NOS staining neurons were 8.65 +/- 1.98 and 5.92 +/- 1.36 in the experimental group and 6.37 +/- 1.42 and 8.67 +/- 1.45 in the control group respectively, there were significant difference between the two groups(P lt; 0.01). CONCLUSION: It suggests that TNF-alpha has protective effect on motor neurons after peripheral nerve injury.
The technical deficiencies in traditional medical imagining methods limit the study of in vivo ankle biomechanics. A dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS) provides accurate and non-invasive measurements of dynamic and static activities in joints of the body. This approach can be used to quantify the movement in the single bones of the ankle and analyse different morphological and complex bone positions and movement patterns within these organs and has been widely used in the field of image diagnosis and evaluation of clinical biomechanics. This paper reviews the applications of DFIS that were used to measure the in vivo kinematics of the ankle in the field of clinical and sports medicine. The advantages and shortcomings of DFIS in the practical application are summarised. We further put forward effective research programs for understanding the movement as well as injury mechanism of the ankle in vivo, and provide constructive research direction for future study.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of 24-week intradialytic progressive resistance exercise on hemoglobin and iron metabolism in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.MethodsFrom April to May 2019, 62 MHD patients were enrolled and randomly assigned into exercise group (n=31) and control group (n=31). Both groups of patients received regular routine hemodialysis, on that basis, patients in the exercise group completed intradialytic resistance exercise three times per week for 24 weeks. Each exercise included 8-10 muscle groups (grasping the grip ring with both hands, flexion and extension of the elbows and shoulders on the non-vascular side and lower limbs with sandbag), 3 sets of 15 repetitions with a rest of 1-2 min between 2 sets. Exercise began with a low load, the sandbag weight was gradually increased, and the Borg score was aimed to be 11-13 points after exercise. Hemoglobin, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, serum creatinine, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, urea clearance index, recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) dosage at baseline and after 24 weeks, as well as the cumulative iron supplement dose and hemoglobin variation of the two groups during the study period were evaluated.ResultsThere were 20 patients in the exercise group and 30 ones in the control group who completed the study. After 24 weeks of progressive resistance exercise, the medium (lower quartile, upper quartile) of the amount of rHuEPO in the exercise group decreased from 6 000 (6 000, 9 000) U/week to 6 000 (4 500, 7 125) U/week (Z=−2.599, P=0.009), while that in the control group had no statistically significant difference (Z=−1.340, P=0.180); there was no statistically difference in hemoglobin, hemoglobin coefficient of variation, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, or 24-week cumulative iron supplementation between the two groups.ConclusionIntradialytic progressive resistance exercise can reduce the amount of rHuEPO in MHD patients, which is benefitial to optimizing the management of hemoglobin.
OBJECTIVE To study the protective effects of Schwann cell derived neurotrophic factor (SDNF) on motoneurons of spinal anterior horn from spinal root avulsion induced cell death. METHODS Twenty SD rats were made the animal model of C6.7 spinal root avulsion induced motoneuron degeneration, and SDNF was applied at the lesion site of spinal cord once a week. After three weeks, the C6.7 spinal region was dissected out for motoneuron count, morphological analysis and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme histochemistry. RESULTS 68.6% motoneurons of spinal anterior horn death were occurred after 3 weeks following surgery, the size of survivors was significantly atrophy and NOS positive neurons increased. However, in animals which received SDNF treatment, the death of motoneurons was significantly decreased, the atrophy of surviving motoneurons was prevented, and expression of NOS was inhibited. CONCLUSION SDNF can prevent the death of motoneurons following spinal root avulsion. Nitric oxide may play a role in these injury induced motoneuron death.
OBJECTIVE: To purify and study Schwann cells cytoplasmic neurotrophic protein. METHODS: The dissociated SC taken from 300 newborn rats sciatic nerves were cultured, collected, ultrasonicated and ultraspeed centrifuged. The supernates were ultrafiltrated and concentrated by using ultrafiltration units with PM10, PM30, PM50 ultrafiltration membranes. The ultrafiltrated-concentrated solution with the protein molecular weight 10-30 ku, 30-50 ku and gt; 50 ku were collected respectively. The dissociated spinal cord motoneurons of 14 days embryonic rats were cultured with serum-free conditional medium and the additional SC cytoplasmic proteins were added into the medium. The results showed that the 10-30 ku and gt; 50 ku SC cytoplasmic proteins were able to maintain the survival of motoneurons for 24 hours. Then the 26 ku and 58 ku proteins were further extracted and purified from SC cytoplasm by high pressure liquid chromatography, and their neurobiological activities were studied. RESULTS: The 26 ku and 58 ku Schwann cell’s cytoplasmic proteins were able to maintain the survival of motoneurons cultured in the serum-free medium for 48 hours. The highest biological activity concentration is 20 ng per well. CONCLUSION: Schwann cells cytoplasm contains motoneuron neurotrophic proteins with molecular weight 26 ku and 58 ku.
