1.EFFECTS OF NERVE GROWTH FACTOR ON NEURITE OUTGROWTH AND ON SYNTHESIS OF RNA AND DNA IN RAT SUPERIOR CERVICAL GANGLIA IN VITRO: AN AUTORADIOGRAPHIC STUDY
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1957;0(04):-
Nerve growth factor (NGF) can promote the outgrowth of neurites of the target ganglia. In order to further explore the relationship between this effect and the synthesis of RNA and DNA in the neurons, an autoradiography of 3~H-uridine and 3~H-thymidine was used. Superior cervical ganglia (SCG) from newborn rats were cultivated by Maximow's double coverslip method. All cultures were divided to one group of cultures a crude preparation of NGF was added to the medium and another group without NGF served as control. Before tissue culture was stopped, the. covership cultures were transferred to thelabeling-medium and incubated, and then they were fixed, and cut into serial sections and subjected to autoradiographie processes. The results show that the percentage and the level of grains of neurons labeled by 3~H-uridine in the NGF group are higher than that of control. Moreover, before the growth rate of neurites reaches a peak, the level of grains of neurons labeled by 3~H-uridine in the NGF group is obviously increased. The evidence suggests that NGF can promote the synthesis of RNA in neurons of SCG, which has a direct bearing on the quick outgrowth of neurites. In the experiments with 3~H-thymidine incorporation, that the NGF may promote the synthesis of DNA in some neurons of the third day SCG in vitro was also observed.

Objective To investigate physical activities of preschool children by gender and to explore the effects of activity type on bone indexes.Methods During 2009 and 2010,397 preschool children of 3-5 years old were randomly selected from 4 kindergartens in Chengdu Province of China.Ultrasound bone analyzer was used to assess children's bone mass.A physical activity questionnaire was completed by parents to evaluate physical activities at leisure time.Student's t test and least square regression were used for data analysis.Results Concerning activity types,boys spent more leisure time on running and Wushu than girls did (t values were 1.94 and 2.84,respectively ; both P < 0.05).However,girls spent more time on dancing (0.78 h),jumping rope (0.08 h) and manual labour (0.22 h) each day (t values were-9.50,-3.43 and-1.92,respectively; all P < 0.05).The weekly total exercise time and energy consumption per unit of body weight of girls vs.boys were 7.29 vs.6.51 h and 127.57 vs.113.85 kJ (t values were 2.63 and 2.04,respectively ; both P < 0.05).About per day time on sleeping and per week time on watching television,there were no significant difference between boys and girls (t =0.180,0.520;P >0.05).But boys spent more time on electronic game and computer than girls (t =0.760,2.510;P < 0.05).The normalized correlation coefficient for bone mass and moderate physical activities or jumping was 0.184 and 0.275,respectively (both P < 0.05).Conclusions Our data suggest that preschool children's bone volume may be positively correlated with moderate physical activities and jumping activities.Introducing some moderate physical activities or activity appliance,toys and playing fields as well as increasing professional training might be helpful.

Objective To investigate the expectation values of dental esthetics during the orthodontic treatment in adolescents with malocclusion.Methods 14~18 year-old adolescents with malocclusion were randomly divided into the treatment group (30 cases) and the control group (21 group) for a prospective study with a period of 1.5 years (0,0.5,1.0,1.5 year respectively),esthetics components of index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN-AC) and self-made sheet for expectation values of dental esthetics were used to evaluate the values during the follow-up.Results During the follow-up,the IOTN-AC values in the treatment group were decreasing,conversely,the values in the control group were increasing,the expectation values of dental esthetics were increasing in both of the two groups,the differences above were significantly.Conclusions Expectation values of dental esthetics were higher during the follow-up in both of the treatment and untreatment cases,so the dentists and the nurses should encourage the consolidation therapy in treatment cases,and persuade the untreatment cases for orthodontic therapy in order to improve their psychological needs.

Objective To study the growth inhibitory and apoptosis inducting effect of paclitaxel on human osteoblastic cell line U-2 OS. Methods U-2 OS cells were treated with various concentrations of paclitaxel. Proliferation was determined by cell count in a Neubauer cytometer chamber. Viability was assessed by trypanblau dye exclusion. Paclitaxel induced morphologic alterations were visualized, using light and transmission electron microscopy. The extent of paclitaxel induced apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry and immunohistochemical detection (TdT mediated dUTP nick end labeling technique, TUNEL). Results Paclitaxel had a growth inhibitory and apoptosis inducting effect on U-2 OS cell. The cell treated with paclitaxel initially show G2/M arrest; follow by apoptosis. A characteristic apoptosis change including nuclear disintegration and chromatin agglomerate were displayed. Lots of multinucleate cells appeared, which was not seen on the cell treated with other chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin and adriamycin. Also, extensive DNA cleavage was detected by immunohistochemical technique. Conclusion Paclitaxel has an obvious growth inhibitory and apoptosis inducting effect on osteosarcoma cell line by induce a G2/M arrest and inhibit the mitosis. The effect of paclitaxel displays a time dependent and dose dependent manner.

Objective To prepare the “bacterial ghost” of E.coli with heat-induction and analyse its lysis rate and configuration. Methods Through immediately shifting the culture temperature from 37℃ to 42℃, E.coli DH5? including plasmid pMuH36 was induced to lyse, and the OD value of culture media was measured every 30 minutes during the induction. After 4 hours of induction, the bacteria samples were collected to examine the lysis rate by CFU (colony formation unit) and the configuration of lysed bacteria was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results The OD value of DH5? (pMuH36)began to decline after 1 hour of induction, and increased slowly after 4 hours of induction. The CFU assay showed that the lysis rate was about 95%. TEM observation proved that most of the lysed bacteria were emptied, whereas the whole outmembrane structure, i.e. “bacterial ghost”, remained. Conclusions The E.coli “bacterial ghost” was efficiently prepared and identified, which might provide the basis for further development of a more effective “bacterial ghost” vaccine and adjuvant.
