ABSTRACT
Objective@#This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the characteristics of malocclusions in scoliotic patients through clinical examinations. @*Methods@#Fifty-eight patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) and 48 patients with congenital scoliosis (CS) participated in the study. A randomly selected group of 152 orthopedically healthy children served as the control group. Standardized orthodontic and orthopedic examination protocols were used to record the occlusal patterns and type of scoliosis. Assessments were made by three experienced orthodontists and a spinal surgery team. The differences in the frequency distribution of occlusal patterns were evaluated by the chi-squared test. @*Results@#In comparison with patients showing IS, patients with CS showed a higher incidence of Cobb angle ≥ 45° (p = 0.020) and included a higher proportion of patients receiving surgical treatments (p < 0.001). The distribution of the Angle Class II subgroup was significantly higher in the IS (p < 0.001) and CS (p = 0.031) groups than in the control group. In comparison with the healthy controls, the CS and IS groups showed significantly higher (p < 0.05) frequencies of asymmetric molar and asymmetric canine relationships, upper and lower middle line deviations, anterior deep overbite, unilateral posterior crossbite, and canted occlusal plane, with the frequencies being especially higher in CS patients and to a lesser extent in IS patients. @*Conclusions@#Patients with scoliosis showed a high frequency of malocclusions, which were most obvious in patients with CS.
ABSTRACT
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causes vision loss mainly due to apoptosis of retinal pigment epithelium cells and subsequent degeneration of photoreceptors.Active and passive smoking can increase the incidence of AMD and the progression risk of advanced AMD, and affect the treatment effect of wet AMD.Smoking can cause choroidal vasoconstriction, increased vascular resistance, vascular endothelial dysfunction, thinned choroid and ganglion cell complexes, resulting in impaired vascular reactivity of choroid and retinal vessels.Nicotine in cigarettes can lead to the overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which increases the permeability of vessel and proliferation of endothelial cells, thus induces the formation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Smoking can induce oxidative stress leading to oxidative damage, reduce the expression of complement factor H, increase the membrane attack complex, lead to macrophage dysfunction, promote the formation of drusen, and induce the formation of CNV.Therefore, a full and deep understanding of the relationship between smoking and CNV and AMD in controlling the occurrence of AMD and preventing the formation of CNV is of great significance for the early prevention of AMD and the exploration of more effective treatment approaches.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the complications and prevention strategies of Dynesys stabilization in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease.Methods:Two hundred and forty-three patients underwent lumbar spine stabilization with Dynesys owing to lumbar degenerative disease were retrospectively analyzed from July 2008 to December 2016. The mean follow-up time was 5.6 years (48-148 months). There were 152 patients with lumbar disc herniation and 91 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. 167 cases underwent single-level operation, 71 cases underwent two-level operation, and 5 cases underwent three-level operation. All patients had low back pain, radiating pain in the lower extremities, and/or intermittent claudication. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analogue scale (VAS). The occurrence of perioperative complications (with in 3 months) and postoperative complications (after 3 months) after the operation were recorded and analyzed. Radiographic adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) was evaluate dusing University of California at Los Angeles Grading Scale (UCLA).Results:All patients underwent surgery successfully. ODI score of patients improved from 55.1%±16.8% preoperatively to 15.6%±5.8% at the final follow-up, the difference was statistically significant ( t=34.6, P<0.01). VAS score decreased from 6.4±2.3 preoperatively to 1.1±0.4 at the final follow-up, the difference was also statistically significant ( t=35.4, P<0.01). There were 25 cases (10.29%) with complications, and 3 cases (1.23%) underwent secondary operation. Perioperative complications occurred in 13 patients (5.35%), including 5 cases of cerebros pinal fluid leakage, 5 cases of poor wound healing (2.06%), and 3 cases of deep wound infection (1.23%). Twelve patients (4.94%) had long-term postoperative complications, including 6 patients (2.47%) of unilateral screw loosening at the 5-year follow-up, 3 patients (1.23%) of screw fracture, and 3 patients (1.23%) of symptomatic ASD, among whom 2 patients underwent secondary operation, and 1 patient underwent conservative treatment. There was no recurrence at the operated segments in all patients. At the final follow-up, 41 patients (16.87%) had radiographic ASD. The UCLA score atthe final follow-up was significantly different from that preoperatively ( Z=2.60, P=0.01). Conclusion:Dynesys dynamic system combined with decompression in the treatment of degenerative lumbar spine diseases can achieve good long-term clinical outcome, with low incidence of complications and ASD.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the brain function changes in patients with cervical vertigo using functional MRI.Methods:Twenty-two patients who were diagnosed with cervical vertigo were recruited in this study for functional MRI (fMRI) analysis, while 25 age- and sex-matched adult healthy individuals were chose forhealthy controls. The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) were used to access the severity of cervical vertigo, and the six-point categorical rating scale was used to measure the frequency of vertigo. Functional MRI was used to investigate the regions with brain functional changes between the cervical vertigo group and the control group. All the data was analyzed using low-frequency oscillation amplitude (ALFF) to explore local brain function changes. The ALFF values between the two groups were tested by two independent samples t-tests. Finally, the ALFF values in abnormal brain regions were extracted using the REST software package and correlated with the diseaseduration of cervical vertigo and thevertigo scores (VAS and DHI) using Pearson correlation analysis. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Compared to healthy controls, patients with cervical vertigo haddecreased ALFF valuesin the left superior temporal gyrus (voxel=45, t=-3.36), right superior temporal gyrus (voxel=32, t=-2.82) and left supramarginal gyrus (voxel=57, t=-4.85), and increased ALFF values in the left and right cerebellum (voxel=41, t=4.26; voxel=33, t=4.57; respectively)(AlphaSim Rest, all P values >0.05). The ALFF values of left and right superior temporal gyrus were negatively correlated with the disease duration of vertigo (left R2=0.437, right R2==0.259), the VAS score (left R2==0.453, right R2==0.341) and DHI score (left R2=0.553, right R2=0.594), respectively, and there were significant differences (all P values < 0.05). The ALFF values of left and right cerebellum were positively correlated with the disease duration of vertigo (left R2==0.555, right R2=0.490) and the VAS score (left R2=0.307, right R2=0.282) and DHI score (left R2=0.632, right R2=0.591), respectively, and the differences were significant (all P values < 0.05). Conclusion:Patients with cervical vertigo have reduced spontaneous nerve activity in bilateral Vestibular cortex, and increased spontaneous nerve activity in the bilateral cerebellum. The brain functional changes were correlated with the disease duration and the severity of vertigo.
ABSTRACT
There are many reasons which can lead to lumbar disorders, such as intervetebral disc, vertebral body, facet joint, nerve, tendon, paraspinal muscle and so on. However there are many studies focus on the structures of intervertebral disc and vertebral body, while researches on paraspinal muscle are relatively few. In fact, the paraspinal muscle plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the lumbar spine. In recent years, the paraspinal muscle have been examined from morphology, electrophysiology, physical experiment, biopsy and so on, hoping to find out some myogenic factors of lumbar disorders, and to provide reference for improving the prognosis of lumbar posterior surgery. This article reviews the research progress on paraspinal muscles' changes in lumbar disorders and after posterior lumbar surgery.
ABSTRACT
Parkinson's disease(PD)is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with an etiology that is now considered to be due to interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Typical PD features include loss of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal region, with typical motor traits of PD associated with dopamine deficiency. Animal models have contributed to determining PD etiology and pathogenesis,as well as testing new therapeutic schedules and novel drug research. Rodents, tree shrews, primates, and other animal models of PD have been established by different method. These models each have their own advantages and limitations, showing different clinical features and pathological mechanisms to those in humans. Therefore, the appropriate model for scientific research must be carefully considered. This article reviews the main neurotoxic and transgenic models of PD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a quick and accurate method for detection of tree shrew adenovirus(TAV) using TaqMan real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Methods Based on the published TAV genome sequence, a 3' conserved sequence was used to design specific probe primers. A standard curve was prepared using a recombinant plasmid containing the target gene fragment. A real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR method was established for detecting TAV based on TaqMan probe. Results The detection method was specific and was not cross-reactive with other common pathogens. The detection limit of the method was 3.7 copies/μL,showing a high sensitivity. The correlation coefficient was 0.998, and the efficiency was 95.7%. The amplification result showed a fine linear relationship,and the repeatability test effect was good. Conclusions The TAV real-time quantitative PCR detection method based on TaqMan probe has been successfully established. It has high sensitivity and reproducibility and can be applied to early detection of TAV infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To Establish a loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)assay for detection of Salmonella in fecal samples of tree shrews, and report the result of preliminary application of this method. Methods LAMP primers were designed and synthesized according to the conserved sequence of Salmonella specific gene invA (invasive protein gene A). To optimize the reaction time and temperature by setting 10 reaction times(24 to 42 min)and temperature(57℃ to 66℃)and tested its specificity and sensitivity. At the same time, a conventional PCR test was performed to verify and compare with the LAMP assay. 91 fecal samples of wild-derived tree shrews were detected by the LAMP assay. Results The experimental condition was confirmed as 62℃ and 34 min. The sensitivity of Salmonella was 3.36×101CFU/mL, which was 10 to 100 times higher than that of conventional PCR assay. In 10 kinds of intestinal bacteria for LAMP amplification,Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella paratyphi B were positive,the others were negative. Among the 91 samples of tree shrew fecal samples detected by the LAMP assay, the positive detection rate was 20.88%. The LAMP assay can be completed within 40 min, the result can be observed and judged visually by color changes. Conclusions The LAMP assay established in this study is convenient,rapid,sensitive and specific. It can be used as a rapid measure for large-scale detection of Salmonella in feces of tree shrews.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the characteristics of immunological changes in tree shrews infected with orthoreovirus, and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of virus in tree shrews. Methods 40 -50-day-old tree shrews were divided into three groups: MRV1/TS/2011 virus-infected and MRV3/TS/2013 virus-infected groups, and saline-treated control group. On the 1, 8, 14, 21, and 28 days after infection, blood samples were taken from the tail vein and used for RT-PCR, flow cytometry and ELISA detection, to assess the viral load, number of CD4/CD8/CD19 cells, and IFN-gamma expression. Results The MRV1/TS/2011 and MRV3/TS/2013 viral load in the plasma and the number of CD4 +and CD19 +cells reached a peak at the 14th day after infection. At the first day after MRV1/TS/2011 infection, the CD4 +cells had a significantly higher expression compared with the normal group. CD8 +cells and the IFN-gamma expression reached a peak at the 21st day after infection. The expression of CD4 +was even higher after MRV1/TS/2011 infection, and the expression of CD8 +cells was higher after MRV3/TS/2013 infection. Conclusions We would conclude that after MRV1/TS/2011 and MRV3/TS/2011 virus infection, accompanying the changes of viral load, it shows some regularity of the expression of CD4/CD8/CD19 and IFN-gamma in the tree shrews: at the early stage of MRV1/TS/2011 virus infection, humoral immunity is stimulated, and CD4 +cells play a major role. MRV3/TS/2013 virus may mainly affect the cellular immunity, while humoral immunity only plays a role at a high viral expression or the late stage of infection. CD4 +cells may be more sensitive to type 1 reovirus, and CD19 +cells may be more sensitive to type 3 reovirus.

ABSTRACT
Objective The key points in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition ( EMT) procedure include the downregula-tion of epithelial protein (E cadherin) and the upregulation of cell activity and cell matrix generation .The aim of this study was to es-tablish a method for primary culture and identification of mouse renal tubular epithelial cells and to explore whether the activation of C3aR can induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in mouse primary renal epithelial cells . Methods Murine renal tubular seg-ments were used for primary cell culture .Immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence staining were used to identify the renal tubular epithelial cells.The experiment groups included control group , five different concentrations of C3aR agonist groups (0.1, 1, 100, 500, and 2000 ng/mL), and three different time-point groups.The mRNA levels of E-cadherin,α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) and colla-gen I in renal tubular epithelial cells were detected by Real-time PCR; the protein of E-cadherin, α-SMA were detected by Western blot.The cytoskeleton of epithelial cells was observed by phalloidin staining . Results Compared with the control group , the protein expression of E-cadherin deceased (0.950±0.901 vs 0.650±0.221) and the expression of α-SMA (1.380±0.062 vs 1.600±0.103) and collagen I increased in C3aR agonist group (500 ng/mL, after 48 hours) (P<0.05).In addition, the association between these changes and C3aR agonists was presented in a dose-and time-dependent man-ner, respectively.The cytoskeleton staining showed that treatment of renal tubular epithelial cells with C 3aR agonists induced the formation of actin stress fibers in a time-dependent manner . Conclusion The method for primary culture and identification of mouse renal tubular epithelial cells were successfully established .The activation of C3aR could induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in mouse primary renal epithelial cells , which plays an essential role in the de-velopment of renal fibrosis .Moreover , this study indicated that C 3aR may become a new therapeutic target in kidney diseases .
