Computer analysis system of blood oxygen saturation in an animal hypoxia model

An experimental animal hypoxia model has been developed. It consists of two sensors (an in vitro and in vivo model), an experimental device and a computer signal processing system. This method can easily be applied to determine and analyse blood oxygen saturation at various hypoxia levels. It can also be used to evaluate the accuracy of pulse oximetry over a wide range of oxyhemoglobin desaturation levels. The DC and AC components of recorded red and infra-red signals, the dual-wavelength ratio R₁₂ and the reading of a pulse oximeter (SpO₂) can be automatically calculated and displayed on a computer screen. Preliminary results of the animal hypoxia test indicate that the measurements made by the instrument correlate well with the oxygen saturation readings of the automatic blood gas analyser AVL945. The computer analysis system is suitable for repeated estimations in the animal model.

磷酸钙人工骨(CPC)在颈前路椎间融合的临床应用

目的探讨磷酸钙人工骨(CPC)在颈椎前路椎间融合手术中的应用效果。方法2001年4月至2003年10月颈前路手术中应用磷酸钙人工骨栓椎间融合结合钛钢板固定治疗颈椎病17例,颈椎间盘突出症5例,颈椎外伤脱位2例,共24例35个节段。采用JOA评分评价神经功能,X线片判定融合效果。结果随访18±6.5个月,术后无感染,无过敏或毒性反应。JOA评分由术前9.28±2.15分增加到14.65±2.18分(P<0.001)。术后X线片未见CPC骨栓塌陷或移位,钛板和螺钉无松动及折断。术后16.5±6.8个月均获得椎间融合。结论颈椎前路椎间融合手术应用磷酸钙人工骨替代自体骨,经济、安全、简便、效果可靠。     

IL-17 Eliminates the Therapeutic Effects of Myelin Basic Protein-Induced Nasal Tolerance in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis by Activating IL-6

Interleukin (IL)-17 is a proinflammatory cytokine primarily secreted by Th17 cells, which are a CD4⁺ T-cell subset. Th17 cells and IL-17 are important in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis and in its established animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, it is unclear whether IL-17 contributes to EAE immune tolerance. We used the myelin basic protein (MBP) peptide MBP 68–86 to induce nasal tolerance to EAE, and simultaneously interfered with the tolerance by treatment with different doses of IL-17. We found that IL-17 dramatically interfered with MBP 68–86-induced immune tolerance. IL-17 administration increased IL-6 release, skewing T cell differentiation towards Th17 cells and decreasing the number of Treg cells. This led to an imbalance between Treg cells and Th17 cells and spurred the development of EAE.

Ketamine inhibits LPS-induced calcium elevation and NF-kappa B activation in monocytes

Objective:To investigate whether ketamine could inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced intracellular calcium elevation and NF-kappa B activation in monocytes. Materials and methods:Isolated rat monocytes were challenged with 10 g/ml LPS with or without the presence of various concentrations of ketamine (10, 100, 1000 M). Intracellular calcium was monitored by laser confocal microscopy. NF-kappa B activity of the nuclear extracts of monocytes was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results:LPS provoked a significant calcium elevation and enhanced NF-kappa B activity in monocytes. Ketamine above concentration of 100 M inhibited endotoxin-induced intracellular calcium elevation and NF-kappa B activity. Ketamine itself had no effect on either of them. Conclusions:These findings suggest that ketamine could suppress NF-kappa B in monocytes exposed to endotoxin, and this anti-inflammatory effect might act through attenuating intracellular calcium elevation.Received 31 October 2003; returned for revision 18 December 2003; accepted by I.
