Background: In recent years, the rotavirus diarrhea increased significantly in Vietnam, an estimated 50%-70% of children\u2019s hospitalization for diarrhea in 2005. The virus subtype causing disease mainly in Vietnam today was not only G1, G2, G4, like other countries in the world but also the rare strain was G9. Objectives: to isolate G9 rotavirus strains on MA104 cell culture; to selecting G9 rotavirus which developing well on MA104 cells. Subjectives and Method: an experimental research in the laboratory. 20 stool samples derived from 20 children with acute diarrhea caused by rotavirus G9P8 (using RT-PCR method). The samples were processed according to standards of the Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC), Atlanta, USA. Results: eight out of 20 human rotavirus strains G9P8 were positive on Ma104 cell suspension after 3 consecutive cultures (OD indexes of these sample were over 0.100,sample No 2 had the highest OD (1.347)). Sample No 2 was chosen for the first time cloning (25 clones, 17/25 with OD>0.100). And clone No 16 was selected for the second purifying (25 clones, 24/25 with OD>0.100). Ten out of 25 clones in the second time were adapted on monolayer Ma104 cell culture and only clone No 14 and No 18 with highest OD (2.648 and 2.644, respectively) will be used for next studies. Conclusions: cloning method was a basic method for adapting rotavirus clone on cell cultured. Rate of G9P8 rotavirus strain which isolated on Ma104 cells\ufffd?suspension was relatively high. Among the second time clones, 2/10 samples adapted on Ma104 cells with high OD.

Using human rotavirus strain VNHR203-027 to inoculate and passage 11 consecutive times on Africa green monkey kidney (Vero) cells with inoculum medium at different trypsine concentrations, their results are VNHR203-027 have been adapting and growing on Vero cells with trypsin concentration of 30g/ml. Using human rotavirus strain VNHR203-037 to multiply on 4 lots of primary monkey kidney cells and 6 lots of Vero cells gave very high titre on both kinds of cell, the average titre on primary monkey kidney cells was 8,47 Iog10 FFU/ml and of Vero cells was 8.65 Iog10 FFU/ml. No significant difference in potency is found among Vero cells and primary monkey kidney cells (T=10-2 < t=1.86 with =0.05).

Statement of problem. The success of osseointegration can be enhanced with an implant that has improved surface characteristics. Anodic oxidation is one of the surface modifying method to achieve osseointegration. Voltage of anodic oxidation can change surface characteristics and cell activity. Purpose. This study was performed to evaluate MG63 cell responses such as affinity, proliferation and to compare surface characteristics of anodic oxidized titanium in various voltage. Material and method. The disks for cell culture were fabricated from grade 3 commercially pure titanium, 1 mm in thickness and 12 mm in diameter. Surfaces of 4 different roughness were prepared. Group 1 had a machined surface, used as control. Group 2 was anodized under 220 V, group 3 was anodized under 300 V and group 4 was anodized under 320 V. The microtopography of specimens was observed by scanning electron microscope (JSM-840A, JEOL, Japan) and atomic force microscope(Autoprobe CP, Park Scientific Instrument, USA). The surface roughness was measured by confocal laser scanning microscope(Pascal, LSM5, Zeiss, Germany). The crystal structure of the titanium surface was analyzed with x-ray diffractometer(D8 advanced, Bruker, Germany). MG63 osteoblast-like cells were cultured on these specimens. The cell morpholgy was observed by field emission electron microscope(Hitachi S-4700, Japan). The cell metabolic and proliferative activity was evaluated by MTT assay. Results and conclusion. With in limitations of this in vitro study, the following conclusions were drawn. 1. In anodizing titanium surface, we could see pores which did not show in contol group. In higher anodizing voltage, pore size was increased. 2. In anodizing titanium surface, we could see anatase. In higher anodizing voltage, thicker oxide layer increased crystallinity(anatase, anatase and rutile mixed). 3. MG63 cells showed more irregular, polarized and polygonal shape and developed more lamellipodi in anodizing group as voltage increased. 4. The activity of cells in MTT assay increased significantly in group 3 and 4 in comparison with group 1 and 2. However, there was no difference between group 3 and 4 at P<0.05. Proliferation of MG63 cells increased significantly in pore size(3-5.5 micrometer) of group 3 and 4 in comparison with in pore size(0.2-1 micrometer) of group 2.

Rotavirus strains isolated from 3 acute diarrhea calves at Ba Vi cattle farm were cultured and firstly cloned in African green monkey kidney (Vero) cells and African Rhesus monkey kidney (MA104) cells. After 3 times of passage, the calf rotavirus strains were secondly cloned and all of them were adapted in primary kidney cells of Macaca mulatta

PURPOSE: This study attempts to evaluate the effect of lens cortex and nucleus remnants on posterior capsular opacification with method of the cell culture according to in vitro capsular bag model. METHODS: After bovine lens were isolated, we performed continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and hydrodissectioin of the lens fiber mass. At this stage a tension ring was implanted and then the preparations placed in organ culture for up to 6 weeks. Lens cortex and nucleus material was added at the culture media in group 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 with amount of 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/96, 1/128 of one lens volume. Group 1 was control group that was not added lens materials. Cell coverage of the posterior lens capsule was recorded and the capsules were examined, both pre-and post-coverage, for proliferative activity. RESULTS: After a lag period outgrowth was observed across the posterior capsule. The proliferative activity was greater at the groups that were added more amount of the lens cortex and nucleus material. CONCLUSIONS: it is important that we should not remain any lens cortex material remnant at cataract surgery.

In order to investigate the changes of some cytokines in NPC patients, we have made an measure of IL-2 and IL-10 in cell culture supernatants on 22 NPC patients, at II, III, IVa, IVb stage, positive anapathological test, compare with 12 healthy age-matched controls. The obtained results showed that: IL-2 production was significantly depressed in cell culture supernatants of NPC patients compare with control group. The production of IL-10 was increased in cell culture supernatants of NPC patients at late stages. It suggested that, IL-10 may be an prognostic factor in severe NPC patients and may prove valuable in selecting with NPC who are candidates for aggressive therapy

The optimum medium for callus differentiation was MS + 6-BA 1 mg x L(-1) + NAA 0.5 mg x L(-1) + IBA 1 mg x L(-1), and MS +6-BA 1.0 mg x L(-1) + NAA 0.5 mg x L(-1) for shoots proliferation.

CONCLUSIONUsing embryo as explants, the method of induction and culture of E. wushanense was established by the callus and buds, and the embryo of E. wushanense can be quickly propagated.
