RESUMEN
Objective To study the anatomical structure of normal and scoliotic thoracic vertebrae in adolescents aged 12-15 years in Northern Shanxi Province, to provide detailed information for pedicle screw placement, and to provide data references for screw size design. Methods Totally 120 cases of normal thoracolumbar CT of 120 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years and 30 cases of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were collected in Northern Shaanxi Province. The raw data of thoracolumbar tomographic images scanned continuously were imported into Mimics16. 0 software for analysis and measurement in DICOM format. Measurement indicators: pedicle width, pedicle height, pedicle length, transverse diameter of spinal canal, longitudinal diameter of spinal canal, transverse pedicle angle,maximum transverse pedicle angle, sagittal pedicle angle and pedicle area. Results Pedicle width:12-13 years old, T
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression and significance of the MMP-7, c-Jun and c-Fos in rat photoaging skin.@*METHODS@#A total of 45 SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, natural recovery group, physiological saline injection group and dermal pluripotent stem cells transplantation (DMSCs group), model group, natural recovery group, physiological saline injection group. DMSCs were treated with UV lamp irradiation to establish light aging skin model. Rats were then sacrificed after model prepared, no treatment was processed in the natural recovery group. Saline injections was adopted in saline group, DESCs group was treated with DESCs transplantation. Rats were sacrificed after 4 weeks. The expression of MMP-7, c-Jun and c-Fos were detected using the immunohistochemical method.@*RESULTS@#In model group, MMP 7 positive expression was higher than that in the other 4 groups, but without statistically difference (P>0.05); c-Jun, c-Fos expression were higher than that in the control group and DESCs group (P0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#MMP-7, c-Jun and c-Fos can be used as diagnosis indicators in the early stage of light aging, and they jointly participate in its development. DMSCs transplants is effective in treating light aging skin.
