The candidate donor cells for repairing the central nervous system included olfactory ensheathing cells,oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and Schwann cells. Among them,oligodendrocyte progenitor cells are difficult to collect in a large amount; Schwann cells are difficult to traverse glial scar,so olfactory ensheathing cells were the most appropriate groups. Olfactory ensheathing cells in vitro were flexible and of plasticity,thus were capable of adapting to the transplantation microenviroment and benefit for the neural regeneration. Olfactory ensheathing cells could improve the function after injury of spinal dorsal roots,which were probably related to the component of grafts. The proper preparation and mixed olfactory ensheathing cells could contribute to recovery of function. Although the low immunogen of fetal brain,the administration of immunosuppressant would be necessary. In spite of reconstruction of damaged pathway of nervous system,olfactory ensheathing cells were able to promoting sprout of fibers,release neurotransmitters at the non-synaptic sites and improve microenvironment of damaged sites as well,which compensated for the dysfunction in central nervous system injury. Insight into cell biological property and behavior after transplantation would help understand and exert theoretical influence on the repair of spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of new oral anticoagulants (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. METHODS: The randomized controlled trials of new oral anticoagulants versus warfarin in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, which had been published from the time of library foundation to May, 2015, were collected from Pubmed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov, CNKI, Wanfang database, and VIP database according to the inclusion criterias. At the same time the quality of the trials was evaluated and the results of studies were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 13.1 software. RESULTS: Eleven randomized controlled trials were included, involving 75 621 patients. Meta-analysis showed that compared with warfarin, the new oral anticoagulants significantly reduced the incidences of all-cause mortality [RR=0.90, 95% CI(0.85, 0.94), P<0.000 1], stroke and systemic embolism [RR=0.86, 95% CI(0.79, 0.93), P=0.0001], major bleeding [RR=0.79, 95% CI(0.74, 0.84), P<0.00001], and intracranial bleeding [RR=0.43, 95% CI(0.37, 0.51), P<0.000 01]. No differences were found in the incidence of ischemic stroke [RR=1.02, 95% CI (0.93, 1.12), P=0.71] and myocardial infarction [RR=1.02, 95% CI (0.91, 1.16), P=0.70]. Heterogeneity was lower through subgroup analysis, no publication bias was found in funnel plots of most outcomes, and sensitivity analysis indicated the results were reliable. CONCLUSION The efficacy and safety of new oral anticoagulants are better than warfarin, which may have broad prospects.

Objective To explore the roles and possible mechanism of calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR) in cell cardiac hypertrophy model using angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ).Methods The cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were treated with Ang Ⅱ as cell cardiac hypertrophy model.Hypertrophic neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with GdCl3(a specific agonist of CaSR) and/or with Ro318220(a specific inhibitor of PKC pathway).To evaluate the status of cardiac hypertrophy,cell diameter was observed by HE dyeing,and protein content was determined through coomassie brilliant blue protein kit.The intracellular calcium concentration( [ Ca2+]i) was determined by laser scanning confocal microscope.The protein expression of CaSR and PKC pathway were analyzed using Western blotting.Results ①Compared to the control group(0.1263 ± 0.0443),the protein expression of CaSR was increased in Ang Ⅱ group and in GdCl3 group(0.1963 ± 0.0375,0.2778 ± 0.0564,all P＜ 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ alone,the increase was significant in GdCl3 group(P ＜ 0.05).②Compared to control group(222.70 ± 22.09),AngⅡ group(392.16 ± 36.85) remarkably increased [Ca2+]i(P＜ 0.05),and this increase of [Ca2+]i was further enhanced in GdCl3 group (502.60 ± 44.21) versus Ang Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0.05).③Compared to control group,Ang Ⅱ could induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,and GdCl3 enhanced the effect.Moreover,this enhancement was attenuated by Ro318220.④Compared to control group(0.27 ± 0.07,0.69 ± 0.06,0.87 ± 0.04),the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε and PKCδ was increased in Ang Ⅱ group(0.60 ± 0.16,1.02 ± 0.13,1.20 ± 0.18,all P＜ 0.05) and the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was increased in GdCl3 group(0.82 ± 0.16,1.34 ± 0.12,all P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was obviously increased in GdCl3 group (all P ＜ 0.05);compared with GdCl3 group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε(0.41 ± 0.10,0.85 ± 0.14) was obviously decreased in Ro318220 group(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions CaSR is involved in cardiac hypertrophy induced by Ang Ⅱ through PKC pathway in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.

Rhynchophylla is a Chinese herb commonly used in clinical practice. It's also the primary herb of some famous Chinese herbal compound such as Tianma Gouteng decoction, and Lingyang Gouteng decoction. According the record from many previous materia medica literatures, rhynchophylla should be added later during decoction. Pharmaceutical research showed that rhynchophylla alkaloids were not stable. Which has resulted in many problems in the research and its application. For example, there was not a quantitative determination method in "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" of past and present versions, which seriously impacted its quality control and product application. Firstly, records from previous materia medica literatures and "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" were systematically sorted based on the chemical stability of rhynchophylla. Secondly, pharmaceutical research including chemical compositions and their stability, pharmacological effects, extraction process and quality analysis, was reviewed after reference of literatures published at home and abroad in recent decades. Positive reference and evidence for further research and development of rhynchophylla will be provided in the article.

The positive rate was 56.02 %.The serum CYFR21-1,CEA level and positive rate of lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were obviously higher than those of patients without bone metastasis or with benign lung disease.The level of serum CYFR21-1,CEA had significant difference(P

The yeast fusant ZFF-28, which is high in biomass production and rich in selenium, was constructed after mutagenesis and protoplasts fusion between yeast strains. The total selenium content of ZFF-28 is 1.8 and 1.0 times higher than that of the parental strains Saccharomyces cerevisiae ZY-67 and Saccharomyces kluyveri SZY-198 respectively. Using single factor tests and a L16(4(3) x 2(1)) orthogonal design, the cultivation conditions was optimized as: 50mL culture in 250mL shake flasks in molasses containing 6% sugar and 60microg/mL Se at 28 degree C for 25h at 220 r/min, with the initial pH adjusted to 6.0 - 6.5. Under the optimized conditions, the biomass (dry weight) reached 8.2g/L and the Se content of the cells reached 2050microg/g, with organic and inorganic Se contents being 91% and 9% respectively.

BACKGROUND:Human umbilical cord blood (CB)-derived CD133+ cells are a minority population of primitive cells with extensive proliferation and differentiation potentials,which are considered to have ability of neural differentiation.OBJECTIVE:We hypothesized a possible application of CB CD133+ cells in the cognitive and survival function of mice with dementia,the present study observed the changes of the cognitive function and survival of amyloid precursor protein(APP)transgenic mice after CB CD 133+ cells transplantation to verify the above assumption.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A completely randomized block design of animal experiments was performed in the Hematology Institute of Tianjin Hematology Hospital from September 2005 to December 2007.MATERIALS:Forty-eight eight-month-old male APP 695 transgenic C57BL/6 (BDF1/KM) mice were selected in this experiments All mice were divided randomly into three groups:control group (n=8),CD133+ transplantation group (n=20) and CD133 transplantation group (n=20).METHODS:Mice in control groups received an intraventricular injection of 10 μL phosphate buffered saline (PBS).The transgenic mice that received an intraventricular injection of 10 μL CD133+ (5×104/μL) and CD133 CB cells (5×104/μL) respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Radial ann water maze (RAWM) was used to evaluate cognitive function of the mice and the survival days of mice in different groups were recorded,lmmunohistochemical assessments and Dil Fluorescence labeled way was used to detect the differentiation phenotype of transplanted cells.RESULTS:The cognitive function of the mice in CD133+ transplantation group was significantly improved compared with the mice in CD 133- transplantation and control groups both 30 and 180 days after transplantation (P＜0.05).The mean survival time of the mice in CD133+ transplantation group was significantly increased compared with CD133 transplantin group and control group (P＜0.05).It was observed that the transplantation CB CD133+ cells labeled with Dil migrated into several brain regions at day 30 post-transplantation.These cells were stained for human βⅢ-tubulin,neuralfilement(NF),neuron specific enolase (NSE),and glial fibriliary acidic protein(GFAP).However,in the brain of mice that received CD133 cells transplantation,CB cells were distributed mainly in and around the lateral ventricle at day 30 and 180 post-transplantation and GFAP-,βⅢ-tubulin- and NSE-positive cells were rarely detected.After intraventricular transplantation of CB CD133+ cells,the percentage of transplanted Dil-labeled CB cells expressing βⅢ-tubulin was significant higher at day 30 than at day 180,and the percentage of CB cells expressing NSE was significant lower at day 30 than that at day 180 (both P＜0.01).The percentage of CB cells expressing GFAP was relatively constant between the days 30 and 180 after transplantation (P＞0.05).CONCLUSION:The result of this experiment suggested that the cognitive and survival function improvement achieved by transplantation of CB CD133+ cells is mainly due to a replacement of dysfunctional cells or augmentation of neural circuit by CB CD133+ cells transplantation.
