Objective To study the effects of melatonin (MT) on hepatic tissue of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Methods AIH model rats were divided randomly as model group, MT group and pig hepacyte growth factor (pHGF) group, to observe the pathological changes of hepatic tissue of the three groups. Results Hepatic tissue inflammation and accrementition graded of elastic fibers, reticular fibre, collagenous fibrils of MT group [(0.97±0.16),(1.09±0.17),(1.31±0.17)] were much lighter than model group [(1.55±0.18),(2.00±0.14),(3.00±0.14)](all P<0.01). The expression of VEGF was weaker in MT group than in pHGF group. There was no distinct difference between MT group and pHGF group. Conclusion MT can obviously improve the pathological changes of hepatic tissue of rats with AIH.

BACKGROUND: Our previous studies have demonstrated that cryopreserved bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) still maintain high survival rate, cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation potentials after thawing. However, this result needs confirmed in vivo environment. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of cryopreserved BMSCs and collagenic membrane BME-10X complex on type Ⅰ collagen synthesis in vivo. METHODS: Beagle dog BMSCs were cultured in vitro and cryopreserved for 12 months, which were thawed and prepared complexes with collagenic membrane. The complexes were cultured with mineralization induction medium or normal medium for 5 days, followed by implanting into nude mice. The specimens were harvested and analyzed by gross observation, histopathological and immunohistochemistry at 4 weeks after implantation. The collagenic membrane cultured with mineralization induction medium served as controls. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the control group, the boundary of collagenic membrane was distinctly, without cell growth around boundary or intra collagenic membrane, additionally, there was little type Ⅰ collagen. In the non-induction group, cells grew into collagenic membrane, trabes-like collagen formed, and type Ⅰ collagen distribution increased at 4 weeks. In the induction group, scaffold degraded, more cells grew, and plenty of collagen formed osteoid-like tissues. The distribution of typeⅠcollagen was obviously increased than that of other groups. The findings demonstrated that cryopreserved BMSCs possess strong osteogenic differentiation potentials after proliferation and induction combined with collagenic membranes in vitro.

Objective To study the value of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)in combination with portal vein chemotherapy (PVC) after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma to prolong survival. Methods From January 2000 to July 2007, 168 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) underwent tumor resection in our hospital. After operation, TACE in combination with PVC was performed in 48 patients (combined group), TACE alone in 26 (TACE group), PVC alone in 50 (PVC group) and none of the above in 44 (control group). All the patients were followed up for 17-96 months. The 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were compared among the 4 groups. Results Accumulative 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were higher in the combined and TACE groups than in PVC and control groups. Conclusion After resection of HCC, combined use of TACE and PVC is the same as TACE in prolonging patient survival. However, it is better than PVC alone and non-surgical procedure.

Objective To explore and evaluate MRI in diagnosing primary muscle non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods Six surgically confirmed primary muscle non-Hod#in lymphoma underwent MR examination including T_1WI, T_2WI and T_1 WI enhanced studies. The acquired images date was reviewed and analysed retrospectively in comparison with surgical and pathological results. Results The locations of 6 cases were cervical part (2), upper extremity (1), lower extremity (3), respectively. All cases involved of more than one anatomical compartment with poorly defined solid masses in 5 cases and well defined in 1 cases, 5 extended to subcutaneous fat and 3 extended along the neurovascular bundle. The mean tumor diameter was 13.9 cm, ranging from 7.3 to 22.5 cm. One was well demarcated and 5 were ill-defined. On T_1 WI, 2 were slighdy high signal intensity and 4 were slighdy low signal intensity. On T_2 WI, 2 were slightly high signal intensity, 3 were intermediate signal intensity and 1 was high signal intensity. Five were inhomogeneous and 1 was homogeneous. The intrinsic structure such as muscle fiber, tendo, spatium intermusculare were detected on 5 cases. Of the 5 dynamic contrast-enhanced cases, it showed moderate enhamcement during arterial phase, 2 were homogeneous and 3 were inhomogeneous. And it showed progressive enhancement during interstitial phase, 3 were homogeneous and 2 were inhomogeneous. Conclusions Primary muscle lymphoma always originated deep to the fascia showing subcutaneous extension and multiple compartment invasion. Typically form poorly defined solid masses with slightly high in signal intensity on MR T_2WI and middle degree dynamic delayed contrasted-enhanced in which intrinsic anatomic structure such as muscle fiber, tendo, spatium intermusculare and so on can be discerned, almost all cases involve more than one muscle compartment and some of tumor extend along the neurovascular bundle.

Objective To observe the correlation of histologicalactivity(HAI) of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) with CCL20 expression, and to investigate the impact of CCL20 expression in CHB infection. Methods On the basis of established competitive quantitative RT-PCR with an internal standard, the expression of the CCL20 in the hepatocytes in different infected patterns of HBV infected cells and liver biopsies were quantified and at the same time its correlation to HAI were explored. Results In the cell levels, the expression quantity of CCL20 in control cells (HepG2), persistent HBV infected hepatocytes( HepG2. 2. 15) are (2. 65 ± 0. 02) pg/106 cells, ( 1.22± 0. 04) pg/106 cells, respectively. There were significantly differences between them ( t = 39. 66, P < 0. 01 ). The expression of CCL20 was enhanced in hepatocytes stimulated by PMA but their expression pauern was not changed. Moreover, CCL20 expression in liver biopsies with CHB was (3.54 ± 0. 65 ) pg/20 mg and CCL20 expression in control groups was ( 8. 74±0. 56) pg/20 mg. The expression of CCL20 between two groups was different (t =30. 09,P <0. 01 ) and correlation lied in between HAI and CCL20 expression in liver biopsies of CHB patients ( r = 0. 675, P =0. 023 ). Conclusion CCL20 expression was down-regulated and it was correlated to HAI of liver biopsies in CHB patients.

BACKGROUND:The researches about the effect of retinoic acid on the proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells are rare, and the researches on the testosterone are mainly on the inhibition of cellaging. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of retinoic acid and testosterone or combination on the cellcycle of adipose derived stem cells. METHODS:Adipose derived stem cells were isolated from adult female Sprague Dawley rats with 2 months age and cultured in vitro til passage 3 adipose derived stem cells, and then the 3rd passage adipose-derived stem cells were performed with adipogenic induction, osteogenic induction and surface marker identification. The cells were divided into six groups:(1) Control group;(2) 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid group;(3) Retinoic acid group;(4) 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid+testosterone group;(5) 10-6 mol/L retinoic acid+testosterone group;(6) Testosterone group. The adipose-derived stem cells in the control group were cultured with Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium+10%fetal bovine serum culture medium, and the adipose-derived stem cells in the other five groups were induced with corresponding dose of retinoic acid and testosterone on the basis of control group. After cultured for 36 hours, the flow cytometry was used to detect the changes of cellcycle. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, cellproportions in phase G 1 of 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid group and 10-6 mol/L retinoic acid group were increased significantly, and the cellproportions in phase S were decreased. Compared with control group, the cellproportion in phase G 1 of testosterone group was significantly reduced, and the cellproportion in phase S was increased. Compared with 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid group and 10-6 mol/L retinoic acid group, cellproportions in phase G 1 of 10-5 mol/L retinoic acid+testosterone group and 10-6 mol/L retinoic acid+testosterone group were reduced significantly and the cellproportions in phase S were increased. Retinoic acid can inhibit the cellcycle of adipose-derived stem cells in phase G 1 , and delay the process of the cellcycle from phase G1 to phase S;while testosterone can promote the cellcycle of adipose-derived stem cells from phase G1 to phase S;the combination induction of retinoic acid and testosterone can accelerate the process of the cellcycle of adipose-derived stem cells from phase G 1 to phase S.
