1.Autoimmune in diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2017;25(3):281-284
Diabetes mellitus (DM ) was the third largest chronic disease in the world and the number of patients in China ranked first. Diabetic nephropathy (DN ) as one of the most serious complications of DM was the main cause of death in DM patients along with the incidence of DM gradually increasing. The complex pathogenic mechanism of DN was composed of many factors such as the disorder of glucose metabolism ,inflammation and immune response. Under the special environment of the DM , autoimmunity was an important factor for the occurrence and development of DN. Immune cells ,cytokines and autoantibodies influenced each other resulting in impairment of renal function and affected the progression of DN. Further research on the immune related factors in DN and DM has important value for the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in Shenzhen during 1995 to 2007. Methods The hemagglutinin(HA) gene of these viruses were sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences was performed with Simmonic and Mega software. Results The H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in Shenzhen from 1995 to 2007 were divided into chide A, B and C. Some viruses from 2005 to 2006 clustered in the same group with the viruses of 2001. Furthermore, some of the vaccine strains recommended by WHO were found lagged behind the strains isolated in Shenzhen. Some mu-tations occurred on the antigenic sites as well as receptor-binding site(RBS). Except the viruses of 1995, the other viruses had deleted at the site 137. Conclusion Characterization of the HA gene revealed that most of the amino acid substitutions occurred on the antigenic sites and RBS. Furthermore, it was discovered that the mutations occurred on different antigenic regions in different years.

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that basic fibroblast growth factor has effects on stimulating vessel regeneration and collateral reconstruction. However, administration was performed mostly by peripheral vein, left atrium or percutaneous coronary intervention, and it is difficult to achieve an effective therapeutic concentration in the local myocardium. OBJECTIVE: Based on the property of poly(D, I-lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA), to investigate outcomes of inducing neovascularization in the myocardium in combination of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by ensuring target release of protein growth factor in local tissue. METHODS: PLGA and bFGF were dissolved in dichloromethane. This liquid mixture was rolled into the form of a hollow tube (3.0 mm outer diameter, 2.8 mm inner diameter, 0.1 mm thick, 10 mm length) for further use. The middle third of the left anterior descending coronary artery of mini-swines was ligated, and the local myocardium became dark purple. After the successful establishment by abnormal regional wall motion in the cardiac apex at anterior wall using ultrasound, the mini-swines were assigned to channels and bare scaffolds (BS) group and channels and bFGF-incorporating scaffolds (FS) group. The scaffold was implanted in the myocardium using self-made hollow bit. At 6 weeks, the number of proliferative cells was quantified by immunohistochemical staining. New vessels were quantified utilizing Image-Pro Plus software package in both groups. Quantitative analysis of changes in mass defect percentage was performed by Emory Cardiac Toolbox software combined with single-photon-emission computed tomography. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 6 weeks, number of proliferative cells and the density of new vessels were significantly increased in the FS group compared with BS group(P<0.001). Single-photon-emission computed tomography illustrates that MDP was significantly lower in the FS group compared with the BS group (P < 0.001). Results have suggested that PLGA scaffolds that incorporate bFGF were able to induce angiogenesis and enhance blood-flow perfusion.

BACKGROUND:Few reports are found about the effect of ovariectomized rats' bone histomorphometry parameters using non-destructive dynamic loading system.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of different loads situations on the bone histomorphometry parameters in ovariectomized rats.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A controlled observation on the bone histomorphometry was performed in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of Jilin University from April 2007 to August 2007.MATERIALS:A total of 35 9-month-old Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly divided into five groups,including sham operation group,ovariectomized (OVX) control group,OVX loading 1 N group,OVX loading 2 N group,OVX loading 4 N group.There were 7 rats in each group.METHODS:Rats in OVX control group and castration load group were processed into bilateral OVX on the back. The sham operation group only underwent the excision of fat tissues on back,and then sutured. After castration for 1 week,rats were loaded with non-destructive dynamic loading system in the two sides of the tibia,15 minutes a day. The mechanical loads would continue for 4 weeks and the loads were 1N,2N and 4N.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Changes of proximal tibia bone histomorphometry parameters.RESULTS:The area,number and thickness of trabecular bone in OVX loading group were all higher than OVX control group (P<0.05,P<0.01).The trabecular bone area and thickness in OVX 4 N and OVX 2 N groups were significantly higher than OVX control group (P < 0.001).There was a downward trend of trabecular separation in OVX 4 N group compared with OVX control group (P < 0.05). With the increasing loads,there was an increasing trend of the area,number and thickness of trabecular bone,which were close to sham-operated group. The trabecular separation was declined. Single fluorescent labeled surface and double fluorescent labeled surfaces in sham operated group were all lower than that in OVX control group. With the increase in loads,the single fluorescent labeled surface,double fluorescent labeled surface,interlabeled width and mineral apposition rate had been shown to increase. The OVX 2 N and OVX 4 N groups exhibited a remarkably higher level of mineral apposition rate than OVX control group (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:With the increase in load at the range of 1-4 N,all parameters of bone histomorphometry improve in the OVX rats,the bone microstrcture is greatly ameliorated,bone mass loss is reduced and the process of osteoporosis is delayed.

BACKGROUND: The in vitro amplification is a primary method for harvesting endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) due to its simple operation and low cost.OBJECTIVE: To isolate EPCs from rabbit bone marrow to further observe the effects of autologous EPCs on promoting vascular endothelial repair.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An open experiment was performed at the laboratory of Department of Internal Medicine, Changzheng Hospital, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between March 2005 and February 2006. MATERIALS: Eight New Zealand rabbits of either gender, aged 6-8 months, weighing (2.5:L-0.5) kg, were included in this study. Rabbit bone marrow was taken for isolation of bone marrow mononuclear cells by density centrifugation. METHODS: Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells were inoculated at 1×106/cm2 and cultured for 7 days in M199 medium containing vascular endothelial growth factors and basic fibroblast growth factors. EPCs were identified by Dil-labeled acetylated low-density lipoprotein (Dil- Ac-LDL) and FITC-labeled lectin BS-1 staining. Cells that phagocytized Ac-LDL displayed red fluorescence, cells that combined with lectin BS-1 showed green fluorescence, and cells that were labeled with both exhibited orange fluorescence. Expression levels of CD133, CD134, and Flk-lwere detected using immunofluorescent staining and through the use of flow cytometer.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Cellular morphology observation. ② Proliferative capacity of EPCs.③EPCs identified by Dil- Ac-LDL and FITC-labeled lectin BS-1. ④ lmmanohistocbemical identification of EPCs. ⑤Flow cytometry identification of EPC surface marker.RESULTS: ① Cellular morphological observation: the newly isolated bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells exhibited a round appearance. Following 72-hour culture, adherent cells grew in colony cluster, presenting with round or irregular appearance, and nuclear division was obvious. By day 7, flaky cell colonies mutually connected together, presenting with shuttle-shaped endothelioid cells.② Proliferative capability of EPCs: in the 2-4 days of culture, EPCs proliferated fast, and the proliferation slowed down thereafter, exhibiting a typical "S" -shaped appearance. By days 6 and 7, EPC proliferation accelerated again, with the absorbance values of 0.58±0.15 and 0.62±0.23, respectively. ③ Over 95% of EPC cytoplasm exhibited red fluorescence after stained with Ac-LDL, appropriately 100% of cytoplasm exhibited green fluorescence after stained with FITC-labeled lectin BS-1, and over 90% of cytoplasm exhibited orange fluorescence after double staining. ④ Immonohistochemistry and flow cytometry results revealed positive expression of EPC surface markers CD133, FIK-1, and CD34.CONCLUSION: Cell population with EPC characteristics can be successfully isolated from rabbit bone marrow by in vitro amplification.
