1.A way out or a new prospect: The future development of autologons hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in type 1 diabetes therapy
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2012;28(6):445-447
The direetion of radical treatment ( complete remission ) for type 1A diabetes is to correct immune disorder and to full repair damaged pancreatic islet cells.It includes the application of immune modulators and islet β-cell replacement therapy.Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is a new promising approach for the treatment of type 1A diabetes by reconstitution of immunotolerance and promoting β-cell regeneration.The candidates for AHSCT are limited to the people with early-onset diabetes and keeping obvious residual islet β-cell function.Because of the potential mechanisms underlying the action of AHSCT is still not very clear,careful balancing of the pros and coins of A HSCT is still needed by further trials and intensive studies.

Objective To discuss the effect of interferon ?-2a on the radiosensitivity and cell cycle for nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-I. Methods Interferon ?-2a was given by different concentration. Then the cells were radiated with X-ray (6?MV) and the cell survival rate was calculated. The change of cell cycle dynamics was measured with flow cytometry. Results The cell survival fraction was 0.62, 0.43 and 0.20 respectively after the interferon ?-2a was given by different concentration(0.5?106, 1.0?106 and 1.5?106?IU/L). The radiosensitization ratio was 1.16, 1.57 and 1.93 respectively. Compared with the control group, increasing cell percentage in G_1 and G_2+M phage and decreasing cell percentage in S phage were observed on 24 h after the interferon ?-2a(1?106?IU/L) was given(P

mTOR pathway plays a critical role in cell proliferation, growth and metabolism. This pathway is composed of two different large protein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2, which have their distinct downstream effects. Its inhibitor, rapamycin, has been proved to cause β-cell damage and glucose intolerance. Furthermore, various transgenic mouse models and ex vivo studies have revealed that mTORC1 and mTORC2 are both essential for maintaining normal β cell mass and function, whereas the underlying molecular mechanism and the relevance of the whole mTOR signaling to pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes remain to be explored and further clarified.

Objective To explore effect of decreasing blood lipid by mappianthus iodoies flavone in rats model.Methods We selected sixty healthy male SD rats,which were randomly divided into six groups:normal control group (NC),model control group (MC),simvastatin group positive control group (PC),low dose group of mappianthus iodoies flavonoids (MIF1 group),middle dose group of mappianthus iodoies flavonoids (MIF2 group),high dose group of mappianthus iodoies flavonoids (MIF3 group).After 6 weeks,absolute diet 12 h,the rats of blood samples were drawn from orbit and it was collected to detect serum total cholesterol (TC),serum triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).After 12 weeks,absolute diet 12 h,get blood from heart,serum,centrifugal separation measure serum SOD,MDA content,test the content of T-AOC.Results Mappianthus iodoies flavonoids can decrease the level of TG,TC,LDL-C,MDA and improve HDL-C,SOD and T-AOC in lipid of lipidemia rats.Especially compared with the NC group,the level of TG,TC,LDL-C,MDA in MC group were in creased,and HDL-C,SOD,T-AOC level were decreased in rats fed high fat diet(P<0.05),meanwhile the levels of TC,TG and LDL C in the treatment groups were decreased,and HDL-C levels were increased(P<0.05);MIF group,which are compared with MC,the level of TC,TG,LDL-C and MDA weresignificantly decreased and the level of HDL-C,SOD,T-AOCwere increased significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion Mappianthus iodoies flavone may improve the level of SOD,T-AOC and decrease the level of MDA to decrease lipid.

Objective To investigate the role of RANKL/RANK/OPG system in bone metabolism of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by detecting bone mineral density, bone metabolism factors such as osteoprotegerin (OPG), soluble receptor activator of nuclear factors-κB ligand (sRANKL) and the expression of membrane-bound (mb) RANKL in the peripheral blood T lymphocytes. Methods Bone mineral density of AS patients were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and serum levels of OPG, sRANKL,tartrate resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) and bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The percentages of CD4+/RANKL+ and CD8+/RANKL+ in the peripheral blood were detected with flow cytometry. T-test, x2-test were used for statisical analysis. Results ① The incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in AS was 47% and 37% respectively. ② Serum RANKL,TRACP-5b levels and RANKL/OPG ratio were higher in AS patients than those in normal controls (P<0.05).But there was no significant difference in OPG and BALP between AS patients and normal controls. ③There were positive linear correlation between serum levels of RANKL and OPG, sRANKL and TRACP-5b, OPG and TRACP-5b in AS (P<0.01). ④ The prevalence of CD4+/RANKL+ cells in the peripheral blood of AS patients was significantly higher than that in the normal controls (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a high incidence of bone loss in AS patients. Increased bone resorbtion is the feature of bone metabolism in AS.RANKL/RANK/OPG system may play an important role. The imbalance of RANKL/RANK/OPG system may be one of the bone loss mechanisms of AS. CD4 + T lymphocyte may play an important role in osteoclasts differentiation and bone resorption in AS by up-regulating the expression of RANKL.

Objective To investigate the apoptotic effects of hypertrophic scar fibroblast (HSF) induced by HMME-PDT.Methods Fibroblasts were cultured from nontreated hypertrophic scars,and cells at passages 4-6 were used for the experiments (photosensitizer dose 4 μg/ml,λ630 nm,pow er density 10 mw/cm2,energy fluence 2.5 J/cm2).Morphological and biochemical changes in fibroblasts were assessed by Hoechst 33258 staining and fluorescence microscopy.The rate of apoptotic or necrotic cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM) through double staining of Annexin V -FITC and popodium iodide (PI),respectively.Results Marked morphological features of cell apoptosis were viewed under the fluorescent microscope through Hoechst 33258 staining.The analysis of FCM indica ted that the apoptotic rate was significantly increased after HMME PDT [(34.82 ± I.42) % vs (3.12±0.28) %,P<0.05],and apoptotic rate was higher than necrosis rate [(14.65±1.02) % vs (34.82±1.42) %,P<0.05].Conclusions Low level exposure to 630 nm PDT mediated by HMME appears to induce fibroblast apoptosis.

Objective To assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of preoperative low dose intravenous amiodarone in the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Methods Two hundred patients with coronary atheroselerotic heart disease underwent selected OPCAB and were randomly divided into two groups: control group (100 cases) and experimental group (100 cases). Patients in control group were given conventional medicines and placebo, and patients in experimental group were treated with low dose intravenous amiodarone daily for 4 days before surgery. They were given conventional medicines after surgery. Results After the off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, the incidence of AF, ventricular rate and the duration of AF in the experimental group were lower than those in control group [15% vs. 41%, χ2=16.766, P=0.000; (126.0±20.8) times/ min vs. (150.0±25.6) times/ min, t=0.478, P =0. 017; (8. 0±8. 6) h vs. (12.0±9.6) h, t=0. 439, P=0. 019]. No significant difference were found in the incidence of side effect between low close amiodarone group and the control group. Conclusions Prophylactic application of low dose intravenous arniodarone before off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting can safely and effectively reduce the postoperative ventricular rate and the incidence of AF, shorten the duration of AF, promote the rehabilitation and slightly improve the clinical symptoms.
