To evaluate the effects of recombinant human stem cell factor on mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells, 30 monkeys were divided into control, rhG CSF 10?g?kg -1 ?d -1 (?KD), rhSCF 50?KD, rhG CSF 10?KD+rhSCF 20?KD, rhG CSF 10?KD+rhSCF 50?KD and rhG CSF 10?KD+rhSCF 125?KD groups. The monkeys were given subcutaneous injections of rhSCF for 8 days and/or rhG CSF for 5 days. The highest value of leukocyte in rhG CSF and rhSCF groups was 206% and 200% respectively, and that of rhG CSF+rhSCF groups was 280% to 310%. CFU GM of peripheral blood was up to 1 1, 1 3 and 5 8～7 9 times respectively after the mobilization. CD34 positive cell number of joint mobilization group was 20, 24 and 35 times respectively of that before mobilization. rhSCF can mobilize the effect of peripheral blood stem cells, and the effect of joint rhSCF+rhG CSF is better.

Objective To observe the curative effect of rhG-CSF or rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) on rhesus monkeys after irradiation of 7.0Gy ? ray.MethodsFifteen healthy adult rhesus monkeys were divided into placebo control, rhG-CSF, and rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized groups. rhSCF 20?g?kg -1 ?d -1 (?KD) was administered for 8 consecutive days. Then from the 4th day to the 8th day, animals of both rhG-CSF and rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized groups were also given rhG-CSF 10?KD. The placebo control animals were given 0.9% sodium chloride of the same volume per kilogram. On day 0 of the irradiation, PBSCs were collected from all subjects. 3～4 hrs after irradiation, all animals received autologous PBSC infusion. ResultsFrom day 21 to day 29 after TBI, rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized group showed higher WBC counts compared to placebo control and rhG-CSF mobilized group. Platelet counts of both mobilized groups recovered more quickly than those of placebo control. Bone marrow nucleated cells culture demonstrated that rhG-CSF and rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized PBSC had stimulated bone marrow nucleated cells to form more CFUs. Histopathological evaluation showed the number of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow of rhG-CSF mobilized group was greater than those in placebo control but less than those in rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized group. ConclusionThe infusion of rhG-CSF or rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized PBSC can improve the hematopoietic recovery in rhesus monkeys after 7.0Gy ? ray irradiation. The combined use of two mobilizing factors gives better result than using single factor.

85%).From the in vitro release experiment,the rhBMP-2 was controlled to release from the chitosan microsphere over 30 days.[Conclusion]The rhBMP-2 loaded chitosan microsphere prepared by emulsion cross-linking method shows a good controlled release property.Such a novel type of controlled release system has the potential of being applied for controlled cytokine delivery and the bone tissue engineering.

[Objective]To construct the recombinant adenovirus vector co-expressing human vascular endothelial growth factor 165(VEGF165) and angiogenin-1(Ang-1),and to observe the expression of target gene after transfection.[Method]Molecular biologic techniques were used to clone the genes of VEGF165 and Ang-1,and PCR was used to amplify the DNA sequence of IRES(internal ribozyme entry site) from pIRES2-EGFP.The genes of VEGF165,IRES and Ang-1 were subcloned to pTrack-CMV one by one to get the plasmid named pTrack-CMV-VIA,which contained all the three genes.The linearized shuttle plasmid was cotransformed into BJ5183 bacteria with backbone vector AdEasy-1.Further the recombinant plasmid was packaged and amplified in QBI-293A cells after Pac I digestion to get adenovirus vector pAd-VIA.The expression of the gene of interests was evaluated by fluorescence microscopic analysis of GFP expression and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).[Result]The recombinant adenovirus plasmid was consistent with that shown by sequencing and restriction endonucleases digestion.The recombinant pAd-VIA vector was packaged and amplified successfully in QBI-293A cells.The titer was 2?1010 PFU/ml after amplifying.High positive GFP was expressed in the field through fluorescence microscopy after being transfected by recombinant pAd-VIA.ELISA indicated the expression of the target genes.The difference between the tansfected and non-transfected group was significant(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol post-conditioning on hippocampal neuronal K+-Cl-co-transporter 2 (KCC2) expression in the rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 7-8 weeks,weighing 250-280 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =24 each):sham operation group (group S),cerebral I/R (group I/R) and propofol post-conditioning group (group PP).The model of focal cerebral I/R injury was established by occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery.Propofol 20 mg· kg-1 · h-1 was infused over 2 h starting from the onset of reperfusion through the femoral vein in group PP.The equal volume of normal saline was given in S and I/R groups.Modified neurological severity score (mNSS) was used to evaluate the impairment of neurological function.The animals were then sacrificed and brains were removed for determination of the number of neurons (by Nissl' s staining) and expression of KCC2 (by immunofluorescence and Western blot) in hippocampal CA3 region.Results Compared with group S,the scores of mNSS were significantly increased,and the number of neurons and expression of KCC2 in hippocampal CA3 region were decreased in I/R group,and mNSS scores were increased,and no significant changes were found in the other parameters in group PP.Compared with group I/R,the mNSS scores were significantly decreased,and the number of neurons and expression of KCC2 in hippocampal CA3 region were increased in group PP.Conclusion The mechanism by which propofol post-conditioning reduces cerebral I/R injury is related to up-regulated expression of hippocampal KCC2 in rats.

Combined transplantation of fetal pancreas and thymus was performed in 10 patients suffering from severe diabetes I. They were closely followed for over one year, and it was found that among them 7 showed spectacular clinical improvement, including 2 with total discontinuation of insulin, and 5 with average reduction of insulin by 82%. In 3 patients, the dosage of insulin was reduced by an average of 56.9%. The average reduction of insulin for the 10 patients in 2 months, 6 months and one year after the transplantation was 68.3%, 74.5%, and 78.4%, respectively. The effect of warm ischemia of different durations on the donor tissues was studied with electron microscopy. The significance of combined transplantation and the relationship of the techniques of procuring the donor tissues and transplantation is discussed.

Objective To evaluate the effects of alcohol dependence (AD) on the expression of spinal neuronal K+-Cl cotransporter 2 (KCC2) in rats.Methods Forty-eight healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =24 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and group AD.An orogastric tube was inserted and alcohol was administered through the tube into the stomach to establish the model of AD.The concentration of ethanol was 5％,10％ and 20％ at 1st,2nd and 3rd weeks,respectively,and the concentration of ethanol was 35％ at 4th week and later.Alcohol was given at 10 ml · kg-1 · d-1,lasting for 8 weeks.The rats received drinking water containing no ethanol at 10 ml · kg-1 · d-1 instead of alcohol in group C.All the rats were allowed ad libitum access to food and water.Before the last administration,an elevated plus-maze test was performed for all the rats to observe their state of anxiety,which was used to evaluate the success of AD model.At the end of the last administration,the model of incisional pain was established.A 1-cm longitudinal incision was made through skin,fascia and muscle of the plantar aspect of the hindpaw in sevoflurane-anesthetized rats.At 2,6,24 and 48 h after operation,the mechanical and thermal paw withdrawal thresholds were measured.At 48 h after operation,the lumbar segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of KCC2 by using immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the number of open arm entries was significantly reduced,the time spent on the open arms was shortened,the number of closed arm entries was increased,the time spent on the closed arms was prolonged,the mechanical and thermal paw withdrawal thresholds were decreased,and the expression of KCC2 was down-regulated in group AD.Conclusion Down-regulated expression of spinal neuronal KCC2 is involved in the mechanism of hyperalgesia in rats with AD.

Objective To evaluate the effect of butorphanol combined with dexmedetomidine on postoperative hyperalgesia induced by remifentanil in patients.Methods One hundred and twenty patients,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or],aged 20-64 yr,weighing 45-88 kg,undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery,were randomly allocated into 4 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),butorphanol group (group B),dexmedetomidine group (group D) and dexmedetomidine + butorphanol group (group B+D).In group D,dexmedetomidine 1.0 μg/kg was infused at 10 min before induction of anesthesia,followed by continuous infusion at 0.7 μg·kg 1·h-1 until the end of operation.In group C,the equal volume of normal saline was given instead before skin incision.In group B,butorphanol 20 μg/kg was injected immediately before skin incision.In group B+D,dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was infused at 10 min before induction of anesthesia,followed by continuous infusion at 0.5 μg· kg-1 · h-1 until the end of operation,and butorphanol 15 μg/kg was injected immediately before skin incision.Anesthesia is induced with iv midazolam 0.05 mg/kg,sufentanyl 0.2-0.3 μg/kg,rocuronium 0.7 mg/kg and propofol 2.0 mg/kg.After tracheal intubation,all the patients are mechanically ventilated,and PETCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mmHg.Anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of remifentanil 0.3 μg · kg-1 · min 1 and propofol 4-6 mg·kg 1·h-1 and intermittent iv boluses of rocuronium 0.3 mg/kg.BIS value was maintained at 40-60.Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with sufentanil was used after operation,and VAS score was maintained ≤ 3.At 30 and 60 min and 6,12,24 and 48 h after operation,the sufentanil consumption was recorded.The development of bradycardia and hypotension during operation and postoperative nausea and vomiting,dizziness and somnolence was recorded.Results Compared with group C,the sufentanil consumption and incidence of nausea and vomiting were significantly decreased in B,D and B+D groups,the incidence of dizziness and somnolence was increased in group B,and the incidence of bradycardia and hypotension was increased in group D.There was no significant difference in sufentanil consumption between B,D and B+D groups.The incidence of dizziness and somnolence was significantly lower in group B + D than in group B.The incidence of bradycardia,hypotension and somnolence was significantly lower in group B + D than in group D.Conclusion Butorphanol combined with dexmedetomidine provides better efficacy than either alone in reducing postoperative hyperalgesia induced by remifentanil in patients.
