Bone morphogenetic protein/Smad signaling pathway involved in chondrodysplasia in the ankle of a rat congenital clubfoot model / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Congenital clubfoot mainly manifests as abnormal bone itself and abnormal cartilage development.The bone morphogenetic protein(BMP)/drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic protein(Smad)signaling pathway can direct the development of bone and cartilage during embryonic period,but its role in the field of clubfoot etiology has not been confirmed in animal experiments. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism by which the BMP/Smad signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of foot and ankle chondroplasia in a rat congenital clubfoot model. METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats at 10 days of gestation with the same growth condition were randomly divided into experimental and control groups.The experimental group was intragastrically given 135 mg/kg retinoic acid to make the clubfoot model,while the control group was given the same amount of vegetable oil.The fetal rats were taken out after 21 days of gestation by cesarean section.In the experimental group,the 27 of 41 fetal rats had clubfoot,with a deformity rate of 65.9%;in the control group,no clubfoot was observed in all the 36 fetuses.The ankles tissues of the rats were collected for hematoxylin-eosin staining.Western blot assay,RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry were performed to detect the expression levels of Smad5 and P-Smad5,the core proteins of the BMP/Smad signaling pathway,as well as SP7 and Sox9,the downstream proteins of the BMP/Smad signaling pathway. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group,hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that the cartilage matrix in the foot and ankle tissues increased and the gap between the bones increased in the experimental group.Immunohistochemical findings showed that the expression levels of Smad5 and SP7 decreased in the experimental group,while the mRNA expression of Sox9 increased.RT-qPCR results showed that the mRNA expression of Smad5 and SP7 decreased,while the mRNA expression of Sox9 increased in the foot and ankle tissues of rats in the experimental group.Western blot results showed that P-Smad5/Smad5 expression and SP7 expression were decreased and Sox9 expression was increased in the ankle of rats in the experimental group.To conclude,the occurrence of cartilage abnormalities in the foot and ankle of the rat model of congenital clubfoot is associated with impaired transmission of the BMP/Smad signaling pathway.

AIM To optimize the processing technology of red Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and evaluate its blood tonifying activity.METHODS On the basis of a single factor experiment,with steaming temperature,steaming time,drying temperature,and drying time as influencing factors,the total contents of notoginsenoside R1,ginsenoside Rg1,Rb1,Rk3,Rh4,and 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 as evaluation indicators,Box-Behnken response surface method ology was used to optimize the processing technology.Upon the anemic mouse models jointly induced by 1-acetyl-2-phenylhydrazine(APH)and cyclophosphamide(CTX),the investigation of the blood tonifying activity of red Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma was carried out in contrast to that of the steamed Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma.RESULTS The optimal conditions,contributing saponin content of 8.326%and RSD of 0.087%,were determined as follows:steaming temperature of 130℃,steaming time of 4 hours,drying temperature of 60℃,and drying time of 48 h.The pharmacological activity revealed that the different processing techniques were responsible for the different blood enriching activity of notoginseng,with red Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma displaying a better efficacy than that of steamed Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma.CONCLUSION This stable and feasible method can be used to control the production of red Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma.

A patient with brachial artery pseudoaneurysm treated with ultrasound-guided and balloon- assisted injection of human fibrin sealant / 中华肾脏病杂志

The paper reports the treatment of a maintenance hemodialysis patient with pseudoaneurysm (PSA) caused by accidental injury of brachial artery during the puncture of internal fistula. The main treatment methods of PSA include surgical incision and repair, local pressure therapy, ultrasound-guided intraluminal thrombin injection, implantation of covered stent, coil embolization and so on, but they all have some defects. The patient was admitted to hospital due to poor fistula function, and the formation of brachial artery PSA was confirmed by color ultrasound. PSA was successfully treated with ultrasound-guided and balloon-assisted injection of human fibrin sealant. The fistula had good function 3 months after the operation.
