神经干细胞静脉移植治疗脊髓损伤的实验研究

[目的]观察神经干细胞静脉移植对损伤大鼠脊髓功能的治疗作用。[方法]取孕14—16dSD胎鼠的脑室下区组织，体外培养后鉴定细胞。制作脊髓全切模型，伤后1周将Brdu标记好的神经干细胞通过尾静脉注射移植到大鼠体内，移植后及8周行皮层体感诱发电位（CSEP）检测和BBB功能评分，并留损伤脊髓处作病理切片及免疫组化染色。[结果]（1）移植后8周BBB评分损伤组、移植组都有所恢复，但都未达到正常水平，移植组恢复较好；（2）模型制作后，CSEP波均消失，细胞移植后8周移植组的波形有不同程度的恢复，但潜伏期延长；（3）移植组大鼠脊髓损伤处存在大量Brdu染色阳性细胞，表明移植的细胞在体内可到达损伤脊髓处并能存活；脊髓损伤部位NF-200及GFAP染色阳性的细胞表明移植的细胞可以分化为具有神经元和胶质细胞特性的细胞。[结论]静脉移植的神经干细胞能到达损伤区代替受损的神经元及神经胶质细胞，使损伤的脊髓功能得到一定程度的恢复。

脐血胆红素与新生儿黄疸的关系

对海拔1,100米地域出生的144例新生儿,进行了脐血胆红素及新生儿黄疸的研究。脐血胆红素与血清胆红素间差异非常显著(P<0.001)。生后4日内所有新生儿均出现了黄疸。脐血胆红素水平愈高,黄疸出现得愈早(P<0.001)。新生儿重症黄疸(血清胆红素≥205μmol/L)显然与脐血胆红素水平(≥40μtmol/L)有关(P<0.005)。以脐血胆红素预测新生儿重症黄疸,其敏感性为64.7%,特异性为75.6%。     

Three-dimensional spinal curvature in idiopathic scoliosis

Scoliosis is usually considered as a deformity of the spine in the frontal plane, without reference to curvatures in other planes. In this study, the three-dimensional shape of the spine of 104 patients with untreated idiopathic scoliosis (5-55 degrees Cobb) was studied by means of stereo radiographs to determine relationships between curvature of the spine in the frontal plane view, in the lateral view, and in the intermediate views. There was a weak but statistically significant correlation (r = 0.2) relating greater scoliosis with lesser kyphosis or greater lordosis. In the thoracic region, the sagittal plane spinal curvature was less than that measured in a population without scoliosis (mean difference, 7.72 +/- 9.9 degrees). Seventy-four of 76 scolioses in the upper region of the spine with lateral curvature greater than 5 degrees Cobb were kyphotic. Sixty-four of 84 curves greater than 5 degrees Cobb in the lower region were lordotic. Measuring curvatures in the plane of symmetry of the rotated apical vertebra altered these ratios to 69 of 76 kyphotic in the upper region and 68 of 84 lordotic in the lower region. The plane of maximum curvature of sections of the spine with scoliosis was not related to the plane of symmetry of the rotated apical vertebra, for in kyphotic regions of the spine the rotations of these two planes were in opposite directions. In all cases, the magnitudes of the rotations were quite different, i.e., by a factor of -0.22 for curves in thoracic region and by a factor of 0.24 for curves in the lumbar region. This implies that mechanical measures to correct this spinal deformity or to prevent progression should apply different rotations to the apex from those applied to the curve as a whole and, in opposite senses, in curves in kyphotic regions. There was no evidence of an abnormality of sagittal curvature of a magnitude to implicate it in the etiology or in the treatment.     

脐血单核细胞对VD大鼠认知功能及脑组织BDNF的影响

目的观察颈内动脉输注脐血单核细胞(Human cord blood mononuclear cells,HCMNCs)对血管性痴呆(Vascular dementia,VD)大鼠认知功能及脑组织脑源性神经营养因子(Brain-derivedneurotrophicfactor,BDNF)含量的影响。方法改良Pulsinellis四血管阻断法建立VD大鼠模型;体外分离HCMNCs,术后24h颈内动脉输注数量为3×106/0.5ml的BrdU标记细胞;利用穿梭箱系统和ELISA法检测注射HCMNCs后2、4、8周VD大鼠学习记忆能力以及脑组织BDNF含量的变化。结果模型组大鼠主动回避反应比率明显低于对照组(P<0.01),治疗组较模型组显著提高(P<0.01)。术后2周模型组大鼠脑组织BDNF含量较对照组明显增高(P<0.01),4周时达到高峰(P<0.01),8周时则明显下降,与2周时相比有显著性差异(P<0.05);颈内动脉输注HCMNCs后治疗组大鼠脑组织BDNF含量较模型组显著升高(P<0.01),4周时最高(P<0.01),8周时略有下降,但仍维持在较高水平,与4周时相比无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论颈内动脉输注HCMNCs可显著改善VD大鼠学习记忆能力,增加VD大鼠脑组织BDNF含量,具有脑保护作用。

Soma size and oxidative enzyme activity in normal and chronically stimulated motoneurones of the Cat''s spinal cord

In normal adult cats we measured the density of staining for the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH staining) in ventral horn cells of different sizes. The measurements were restricted to that part of the lumbar ventral horn (L6-L7) which is known to contain motoneurones of the peroneal nerve. A statistically significant tendency was found for the SDH staining to be denser in smaller than in larger neurones within the size range of a motoneurones (soma diameter greater than 40 microns). These results are consistent with recently published evidence for ventral horn cells of rats and qualitatively similar relationships between size and SDH staining have also been observed among skeletal muscle fibres (confirmed for mixed muscle of cat in present study). In hindlimb muscles, size as well as SDH staining are known to be markedly activity-dependent. We tested whether this is the case for peroneal motoneurones as well by analyzing the effects of chronic nerve stimulation on the properties of neurones within the appropriate region of the ventral horn. Prior to the final acute experiment, these cats had been subjected to a left-side dorsal rhizotomy and hemispinalization. By aid of a portable mini-stimulator, the left-side common peroneal nerve was activated by repetitive pulses during 50% of total time per day (intra-activity rate: 10, 20 or 40 Hz). After 8 weeks of such treatment, cell sizes as well as the densities of SDH staining showed hardly any differences between peroneal ventral horn cells of the experimental and control sides of the spinal cord.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
