In this study, we compared the efficacy of different lengths （6, 8, 10 mm） of nerve fragments bridging 6-mm regeneration chambers for the repair of 12-mm-long nerve defects. At 16 weeks after the regeneration chamber was implanted, the number, diameter and myelin sheath thickness of the regenerated nerve fibers, as well as the conduction velocity of the sciatic nerve and gastrocnemius muscle wet weight ratio, were similar to that observed with autologous nerve transplantation. Our results demonstrate that 6-, 8-and 10-mm-long nerve fragments bridging 6-mm regeneration chambers effectively repair 12-mm-long nerve defects. Because the chemoattractive capacity is not affected by the length of the nerve fragment, we suggest adopting 6-mm-long nerve fragments for the repair of peripheral nerve defects.展开更多

Methods： The anti-HPV16E6-ribozyme and empty eucaryotic expressing plasmids were transfected into CaSKi cell, which named as CaSKi-R, CaSKi-P respectively. E6 mRNA, the sensitivity to cisplatin, apoptosis rates, expression of p53, Bcl-2, Bax and C-myc proteins and mRNA were examined by Northem blot, MTT colorimetric assay, PI/Annexin V stained methods, flow cytometry anslysis and RT-PCR, respectively. Results： E6 mRNA was less in CaSKi-R than in CaSKi. The sensitivity of CaSKi-R cells to cisplatin was 2.28 and 2.21 times than that of CaSKi and CaSKi-P cells. The apoptotic rates in CaSKi, CaSKi-P and CaSKi-R cells was （18.9 ± 3.5）%, （19.7 ± 4.8）% and （40.4 ± 4.5）%. The apoptotic rates was increased in CaSKi-R than that of CaSKi cells treated with cisplatin （P = 0.003）. Comapred with CaSKi cell, the expression of p53 （P = 0.000）, Bax protein （P = 0.002） was significantly higher and the expression of Bcl-2 protein （P = 0.005）, C-myc protein （P = 0.005） was significantly lower in CaSKi-R than that of CaSKi cell treated with cisplatin. Comapred with CaSKi cell, the expression of p53, Bax mRNA in CaSKi-R cell treated with cisplatin increased, while Bcl-2, C-myc mRNA decreased. Conclusion： CaSKi-R cells transfected by anti-HPVE6-ribozyme increased the sensitivity to cisplatin. The increase of sensitivity to cisplatin in CaSKi-R cells may be associated with increasing expression of p53, Bax protein, and decreasing expression of C-myc, Bcl-2 proteins.展开更多
