BACKGROUND: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) ischaracterized by its trophic function on motor neurons, but there is stilllack of quantitative data concerning the influence of different concentra tions of the neurotrophic factor on the growth of in vitro cultured motorneurons. OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of GDNF on neuronal growth byobserving fetus rat spinal cord motor neurons cultured in vitro. DESIGN: Verifying observation taking in vitro cultured cells as subjects. SETTING: Neurological Department of the Second Hospital Affiliated toHebei Medical College. MATERIALS: This experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Neu rological Department, the Second Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical College, between January 2001 and September 2002. Adult male and female rats were raised together in the same cage, embryonic rats at 15 days of gestation were obtained for spinal cord separation. METHODS: Ventral spinal tissues were obtained from embryonic rats at 15 days of gestation for prinary in vitro culture. They were divided into four groups according to the density of GDNF, namely 1, 10, 50 and 100 μg/L GDNF groups, while the culture medium in control group did not contain GDNF. Neurons were cultured in 8 wells foreach group, which was repeated for two batches. Then the influence of GDNF on spinal cord motor neu rons was observed from the perspective of cell morphology with MTF method. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The survival rate of motor neurons andthe length of cell processes. RESULTS: ① The length of spinal cord motor neuronal processes: It was found obviously longer in GDNF 1 μg/L group, 10 μg/L group, 50 μg/L group and 100 μg/L group than in control group [(107.4±35.406 8,160.5±38.564 9, 450.5±60.640 3, 293.5±67.381 4, 82.8±7.972 5) μm, t=2.610-2.647, P ＜ 0.01]. ② Cell survival rate: It was higher in GDNF 1 μg/L group, 10 μg/L group, 50 μg/L group and 100 μ g/L group than in control group [(13.9±0.899 9, 16.1±0.668 0, 20.1±0.667 9, 26.0±0.603 0,10.5±0.782 0) μm, t=2.211-2.312, P ＜ 0.05]. ③ MTT colorimetric analy sis: It was obviously higher in GDNF 1 μg/L group, 10 μg/L group, 50 μg/Lgroup and 100 μ g/L group than in control group [(0.350±0.059 8, 0.366 7±0.071 9, 0.381 9±0.063 8, 0.395 3±0.060 5, 0.285 8±0.032 5) μm,t=2.259-2.577, P ＜ 0.05]. CONCLUSION: GDNF of different concentrations exerts different effects on in vitro cultured embryonic spinal cord motor neurons.

Objective To investigate the changes in the concentration of myocardin in children with lupus nephritis (LN) under different degree of vessel damage.Methods Forty-nine children diagnosed with LN by routine tissue immunolfuorescence, light microscope, and electron microscope were included, and 30 healthy children were included as control group. The pathological classiifcations were performed according to the ISN/RPS 2003 LN pathological classiifcation criterion. According to the Katafuchi evaluation method, the semi quantitative assessment of glomerular and kidney tubule damage was carried out, and the degree of vascular damage was evaluated at the same time. Double antibody sandwich method was used to detect the concentration of serum myocardin.Results The glomerular and kidney tubules damage in children with LN were signiifcantly aggravated with higher pathological classification (P<0.05). Glomerular damage was positively correlated with renal interstitial damage (r=0.96, P<0.01). The degree of vascular damage was related to the degree of glomerular injury and renal interstitial injury, while it was no related with the results of clinical tests. There were different concentrations of myocardin among mild-, moderate-, severe-vessel damage and control groups (F=378.61,P<0.001), and the concentration of myocardin in moderate- and severe-vessel damage groups were obviously lower than those in control group and mild-vessel damage group (P<0.01) while there was no difference between control group and mild-vessel damage group (P>0.05). According to pathological type, there were signiifcant differences in the concentration of myocardial between control group and different pathological types (F=626.793,P<0.01). FromⅡ,Ⅲ,Ⅲ+Ⅴ,Ⅳ toⅣ+Ⅴ, the concentrations of myocardial were decreased systematically, and there were statistic differences between groups (P all<0.05).Conclusion The concentration of myocardin in children with LN can relfect the renal vascular damage to a certain extent. Elevation of myocardin concentration may be helpful for the repair of vascular damage.

Objective:To study the effect of different substrates coated on the cell survival and neurite outgrowth of spinal motor neurons (SMN) from embryonic rat cultured in vitro.Methods:The ventral spinal tissue was isolated from embryonic rats and digested into dissociated cell suspention for culture,then the cells were identified as SMN by immunohistochemistry stain.Poly-L-lysine(PLL) was dissolved into distilled water,phosphate-buffered saline solution,boric acid at 0.1 and 0.01 mol/L concentration respectively.The different substrates include PLL,collagen Ⅰ,laminin and PLL combined with laminin.Distilled water was used as control.The neuron survival numbers and the mean length of the neurites were measured and compared.Results:The cells on the PLL dissolved into boric acid at 0.01 mol/L concentration survived well.The SMNs grown on the PLL combined with laminin were in dispersed disitribution with high survival rate.Conclusion:PLL combined with laminin is the best for the study of the motor neuron including both soma and neurite.

Objective To study the effects of serum from a patient with acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) on the sensory and motor neurons culture in vitro from embryonic rats. Methods Dorsal root ganglions and spinal ventral tissue were isolated from embryonic rats and digested into dissociated cell suspenstion for culture. The cells were identified by immunohistochemistry stain. When culturing for a week, AMAN serum was exposed in a 25% concentration, with normal human serum as control group. The AMAN serum was tested by anti-Penner O∶19 campylobacter jejuni lipopolysaccharide antibody positive. The changes of motor and sensory neurons were observed and the neurons were stained by using Guillery Shirra and Webster method which was sensitive to degeneration of nerve fiber. Results After normal serum exposure, neurons and their neurites were normal and stained in yellow color without silver granular deposition by using Guillery Shirra and Webster method. While after AMAN serum exposure, the axon from motor neuron became degenerating and stained in brown-black color increased silver-phile property. Conclusion The serum of AMAN patient might be specifically toxic to the neurites of motor neuron and might cause the degeneration of axon following soma changes. The damage of axon might be the response of campylobacter jejuni lipopolysaccharide antibody without participation of macrophage and complements.
