  • Effectiveness and Safety of Implanting Sustained-Release 5-Fluorouracil during Hepatectomy for Primary Liver Cancer: A Systematic Review

    Objective To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of implanting sustained-release 5-fluorouracil during hepatectomy in patients with primary liver cancer (PLC). Methods We electronically searched the following databases including CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMbase, WanFang Data, CBM, CNKI and VIP to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effectiveness and safety of implanting sustained-release 5-fluorouracil during hepatectomy vs. hepatectomy alone for PLC from inception to October, 2012. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the quality of the included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 6 RCTs involving 951 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, implanting sustained-release 5-fluorouracil during hepatectomy significantly decreased the total recurrence rates of 1-year and 3-year (1 year: RR=0.48, 95%CI 0.36 to 0.65, Plt;0.000 01; 3 years: RR=0.69, 95%CI 0.50 to 0.96, P=0.03). However, the two groups were alike in decreasing the surem levels of AFP. Besides, the commonly-seen adverse reaction of implanting sustained-release 5-fluorouracil during hepatectomy included abdominal pain and bile leakage. Conclusion Implanting sustained-release 5-fluorouracil during hepatectomy can decrease the 1-year and 3-year recurrence rates of PLC patients, especially for HCC at the early stage. But this conclusion should be interpreted with caution and needs more strictly-designed RCTs with large sample size and enough long follow-up to verify.

  • Study on Recovery of Bone Myocardial Infarction by Intravenously Delivering Mesenchymal Stem Cell Using Magnetic Targeting Material Fe3O4-UA-g-P(UA-co-AA)

    Objective To investigate the extent intravenously transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) mediated by magnetic targeting material arrive in the myocardial infarction region and its effects on the recovery of myocardial infarction. Methods Identify the phenotype of the fourth genet of ex vivo expanded MSCs, stain with DAPI after inducing with 10μmol/L 5-aza, then preserve the MSCs for transplantation. 28 SD rats were divided into three groups: group A (n=10), delivered MSCs combined with magnetic targeting material for 30 minutes to rats through tail vein,and kept on raising after placing magnets on the corresponding skin region to myocardial infarction area for 30min; group B (n=9), administration MSCs not conjuncted with magnetic targeting material through tail vein; group C (n=9), direct intramyocardial transplantation of MSCs. Two days after transplantation, evaluate the aggregation state of MSCs in the area of myocardial infarction; 30d later, estimate the functional and morphological changes in myocardial infarction region. Results We observed that each MSCs had 3-5 molecules of magnetic targeting material attached to its membrane under transmission electron microscope. The homing rates of MSCs respectively were group A 38%, group B 6%, group C 53%.The number of aggregating MSCs of group A and group C was apparently more than that of group B(Plt;0.01). After transplantation, the contraction indices of left ventricle in group A and group C had significant improvement as compared with that of pretransplantation (LVEF 46%±6% vs. 38%±8%, 51%±5% vs. 35%±4%; LVFS 28%±6% vs. 20%±7%, 32%±4% vs. 20%±5%, Plt;0.05) and administrated cells stained with DAPI could be detected in infarction region under optical microscope. After transplantation, the contraction indices of left ventricle in group B hadn’t conspicuous improvement, and the transplanted cells labeled with DAPI could not be identified in infarction region under optical microscope (homing rate of MSCs 38%). There was no statistically difference of results between group A and group C, but in experiment process, there was a high mortality in group C. Conclusion The method that intravenously delivery of MSCs mediated by magnetic targeting material could accumulate much more MSCs in infarction region, reduce infarction size, and effectively improve the cardiac function after infarction.

  • ADENOSINE-TRIPHOSPHATE PROMOTING REPAIR OF SPINAL CORD INJURY BY ACTIVATING MAMMALIAN TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN/SIGNAL TRANSDUCERS AND ACTIVATORS OF TRANSCRIPTION 3 SIGNAL PATHWAY IN RATS

    Objective To investigate the mechanism of adenosine-tri phosphate (ATP) activated mammal ian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signal pathway in the physiology and pathology of spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Ninety-six adult healthy female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (groups A, B, C and D, n=24). In groups A, B and C, the rats were made the SCI models at T8-10 levels by using a modified Allen’ s stall, and in group D, rats were given laminectomy without SCI. The rats were subjected to the administration of ATP (40 mg/kg) for 7 days in group A, to the administration of physiological sal ine (equal-volume) for 7 days in group B, to the administration of ATP (40 mg/kg) and rapamycin (3 mg/kg) for 7 days in group C, and to the administration of physiological sal ine (equal-volume) for 7 days in group D. Locomotor activity was evaluated using the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan rating scale at the postoperative 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks. Then, the expressions of spinal cord cell marker [Nestin, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), gl ial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)] and the mTOR/STAT3 pathway factors (mTOR, STAT3) were detected at the postoperative 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weeks by immunohistochemistry analysis, Western blot assay, and real-time fluorescence PCR analysis. Results The BBB scores in group A showed a steady increase in the postoperative 1st-4th weeks and were significantly higher than those in groups B and C (P lt; 0.01), but were lower than that in group D (P lt; 0.01). Real-time fluorescence PCR results showed that the mRNA expressions of mTOR, STAT3, NSE of group A steadily increased, however, the Nestin mRNA expression gradually decreased in the postoperative 1st-4th weeks, which were all significantly higher than those of groups B, C, and D (P lt; 0.01). The mRNA expression of GFAP showed a steady increase in group A and was significantly less than those of groups B and C, but was higher than that of group D (P lt; 0.01). There were significant differences (Plt; 0.01) in all markers between groups B, C, and group D; there were significant differences in mTOR, P-mTOR, STAT3, and P-STAT3 mRNA between groups B and C at 1st-4th weeks (P lt; 0.05). The similar changes were found by Western blot assay. Conclusion ATP can activate the mTOR/STAT3 pathway to induce endogenic NSCs to prol iferate and differentiate into neurons in rats, it enhances the heal ing of SCI.

  • AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON PERIPHERAL NERVE REGENERATION BY CELL-ASSOCIATED THERAPY

    Objective To explore the facilitative effects of different allogenic cells injected into the denervated muscles on the nerve regeneration, the protection of the myoceptor degeneration, and the promotion for rehabilitation of the muscular function. Methods Schwann cells, myoblast cells, and renal endothelial cells were prepared from 400 SD rats aged 7 days and weighing 20.0±2.3 g. Thirty-six adult female SD rats weighing 120-150 g were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=9). Under the asepsis condition, the left ischiadic nerves of all the SD rats were cut off, and the primary suture of the epineurium was performed. After operation, the different corresponding cells were injected into the triceps muscles of the rat calf in each group once per week for 4 times in all. One ml of Schwann cells (1×106/ml) was injected into the rats in Group A; 1 ml of the mixed cells of Schwann cells and myoblast cells (1×106/ml) was injected into the rats in Group B; 1 ml of the extract from the mixed cells of Schwann cells, myoblast cells, and renal endothelial cells (1×106/ml) was injected into the rats in Group C; 1 ml of the culture medium without any serum was injected into the rats in Group D as a control. After operation, observation was made for the general condition of the rats; 3 months after operation, enzymohistochemistry and the CJun expression were performedin the ventricornual motor neuron. At the proximal and the distal ends of the nerve suture, the density of neurilemma cells in the unit area and the area size of the regenerated nerve fibers were observed and measured. Results The affected limbs of the rats in Groups A, B and C improved 13 months after operation. The ulcers and swelling at the ankles gradually relieved and the rats could move normally 3 months after operation. However, the affected limbsof the rats in Group D still had ulcers and swelling, with an obvious contracture of the toes and a difficult movement. Three months after operation, the number of the target muscle myoceptor, the number of the Actin positive cells, the activity of the various enzymes in the denervated muscles, and the histological changes of the regenerated nerves were better in Group C than in Groups A and B (P<0.01); and they were all better in Groups A, B and C than in Group D(Plt;0.01). Conclusion Schwann cells, the mixture of Schwann cells and myoblast cells, and the extract from the mixture of Schwann cells, myoblast cells and renal endothelial cells can all promote neurotization and rehabilitation of the muscular function, and protect against the myoceptor degeneration. However, the effect of the extract is superior to that of Schwann cells or the mixed cells.

  • An Investigation on the Rural Residents’ Occupational Satisfaction, Health Policy Order and Target Population of Henan Province

    Objective To survey the relations between the rural residents’ occupational satisfaction, the health policies and demographic factors in Henan province and then to confirm the health policy order and its key target populations. Methods The questionnaires were distributed to 1 117 rural residents in 156 villages among 44 townships in 19 counties (cities, districts). The frequency analysis, multivariate linear regression analysis and multiple comparisons were conducted. Results The average value of rural residents’ occupational satisfaction scored 68.23, among which the complete dissatisfaction scored 0 accounting for 1.9%, the complete satisfaction scored 100 accounting for 9.0%, the one scoring no more than 50 accounted for 20.9%, and the one scoreing equal 80 or more than 80 accounted for 37.5%. By regarding the occupational satisfaction as the dependent variable, the independent variables stayed in the model were as follows in order according to their influence from heavy to little on the dependent variable: new rural cooperative medical system (NRCMS), occupation, village general practitioner’s work, family formation, age, disease prevention and control efforts. The occupational satisfaction was much higher when there were the following conditions: the higher satisfaction with the NRCMS, the more financial burden relieved by the NRCMS, and the higher satisfaction with village general practitioners’ work. The occupational satisfaction was the highest when villagers lived with their spouses, while it was the lowest when villagers lived with their spouses and children, as well as they lived with their parents, spouses and children. The peasants’ occupational satisfaction was the lowest. The occupational satisfaction had significantly negative correlation with cultural level, and had positive correlation with age. Conclusion The occupational satisfaction is an important indicator for assessing the level of social harmony, and is the basis for policy decision-making, implementation, and evaluation. The overall occupational satisfaction of the rural residents in Henan is lower, so the social harmoniy and stability should be alerted. The priority order of the existing rural health policy should be the NRCMS policy, village general practitioner work policy, and village disease prevention and control policy. When we are formulating and implementing the rural health policy, the key target populations should be considered among the people whose families comprise two or three generations, whose occupations are farmers, whose cultural level is lower, and whose ages are younger.
