BACKGROUND: It is often seen in clinical practice that children, aged3-15 years, suffer from knee pain of unknown cause at night, which occurs frequently. Most of them can be called "pain of growth".OBJECTIVE: To analyze the related factors of knee pain in adolescents and observe the interventional effect of alpha-D3 (α-D3).DESIGN: Case control analysis, self-control analysis SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Jinshan Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Fudan University PARTICIPANTS: We admitted 22 children outpatients, aged 3 to 15years, who suffered from recurrent attack of knee pain of unknown reasons and received treatment in Jinshan Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Fudan University from June 1998 to August 2002, servingas group A. Another 20children outpatients of fracture recovered for half a year were recruited simultaneously, serving as Group B (control group).METHODS: Group A adopted the therapy of α- D3 of 0.25 μg taken orally once everyday for successive 7 days then stopped to observe the symptoms for the next three weeks. Four weeks was one therapeutic course.If the pains were still alive or reoccurred, another therapy period was needed until they vanished. The contents of bone gla protein (BGP), blood calcium (Ca2+), blood phosphorus (P3+), blood magnesium (Mg2+), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bone mineral density (BMD) of patients were detected between Group A and Group B. GBP index and change of pain in knee at night was observed with α-D3 before therapy and 1,3 and 6months after therapy. After one therapy period, the levels of blood Ca2+, P3+,Mg2+, ALP, BGP, CT, urine and X-ray of knees were detected again, so was BMD after 6 months.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Blood Ca2+, P3+, Mg2+, ALP contents of children patients were detected before and after therapy . ② In the Group A, content of BGP was detected before and 1,3 and 6 months after therapy, and BMD before and 6 months after therapy; The above indexes were detected 6 months and one year after bone fracture healing in the control group. ③ Therapeutic effect of α-D3.RESULTS: All the 42 patients entered the stage of result analysis. ① The levels of blood Ca2+, P3+, Mg2+, ALP of patients who suffered pain in knee were all normal before and after therapy . ②BGP content of patients in the control group was significantly lower 1 year after bone fracture healing than 6 months after bone fracture healing [(7.06±0.74), (7.44±1.16)μg/L,P ＜ 0.01]; BGP content of patients in Group A was 15.98 μg/L before therapy , which was significantly higher than that in the control group .BGP content was (12.12±2.2), (10.6±81.31), (7.60±0.95)μg/L , respectively in 1,3 and 6 months after therapy. There was significant difference of BGP content between before and after therapy (P ＜ 0.05). ③ There was no significant difference of BMD of patients between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).④ Symptoms of pain in knee at night improved or disappeared after α-D3therapy, and the therapeutic time was 9 to 83 days.CONCLUSION: Although the knee pain of adolescents and children at night can not reach the diagnostic criterion of rachitis, it is still correlated with the deficiency of bone mineralization, in clinical practice, the BGP determination should be used as a means of monitoring the pain of unknown cause. There is significant effect using vitamin D3 in treatment of knee pain of children at night.

Many somatic cell typos were obtained by in vitro differentiation or teratoma formation of human embryonic stem ceLls (hESCs). However, it is unclear whether specific cell types can be obtained from hESCs-derived teratoma. It was reported that many kinds of cells, including neural progetfitor/precursor cells (NPCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated efficiently from the teratoma of hESCs through in vitro selection. The teratoma-derived NPCs and MSCs showed specific characteristics of molecular markers similar to the primary NPCs and MSCs. Moreover, these teratoma-induced NPCs and MSCs can be further induced to differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, or adipose and bone cells, reflecting their inherent multi-potencies. Given that teratoma normally contains a mixture of ectoderm, mesodenn, and endoderm lineage cells at different differentiation stage, it was suggested that hESCs-derived teratoma could be an alternative source to generate a variety of uncommitted progenitor cells or terminally differentiated somatic cells, which may be otherwise difficult to obtain through direct in vitro differentiation.

Objeetive To explore the differentiation of B lymphocytes and expression of B7-related protein-1 (B7RP-1)on B lymphocytes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods Three-color immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric assay were used to analyze the frequency of three types of B lymphocytes,I.e.,plasma cells,memory B lyphocytes and naive B lymphocytes,as well as the expression of B7RP-1 on these cells in peripheral blood from 23 patients with SLE and 16 normal human controls.Clinical data of these patients with SLE were collected.and SLE disease activi index(SLEDAI)was also evaluated.The relationship was assessed between the expression of B7RP-1 and SLEDAI.Results The frequency of plasma cells was highest in patients with active SLE.followed by patients with inactive SLE and normal human controls(P＜0.01).A significant decrease was observed in the frequency of memory B lymphocytes in patients with active SLE compared with normal controls (P＜0.01),but no significant difference was found between patients with inactive SLE and those with active SLE(P＞0.05).Regarding the frequency of naive B lymphocytes,there was no significant difierence among the three groups.Increased frequency of plasma cells was also noted in patients with lupus nephritis(LN)compared with those without LN [(6.15±3.12)%vs(3.31±1.41)%,P＜0.05 ],but no significant difierence was found with regard to the frequency of memory or naive B lymphocytes between these two groups.The expression rate Of B7RP-1 was significantly lower on total lymphocytes from patients with SLE than from normal human controls (46.51%vs 63.75%,P＜0.05),which was the case with B7RP-1 on plasma cells,memory B lyphocytes and naive B lymphocytes (all P＜0.01),whereas no significant difierence was found between patients with inactive SLE and active SLE or between patients with and without LN.In addition.no correlation was found between the expression of B7RP-1 and SLEDAI(r=0.035,P＞0.05).Conclusions In peripheral blood of patients with SLE,the frequency of plasma cells is increased,while the expression of B7RP-1 on lymphocytes is decreased,which may be relevant to the pathogenesis of SLE.

Objective To investigate whether the silicotic process leads to the predominant extrahepatic ceruloplasmin (Cp) gene expression found within the plasma and lung tissue contributing to the significant increase.Methods The previous work of our research group demonstrated changes of ceruloplasmin (Cp) in rat lung tissue and alveolar macrophages during silicosis by electrophoresis analysis, radioimmunological assay and immunoflurescent technique. It is of interest to clarify the cause of elevation of Cp, particularly in the silicotic lung. Though Cp is mainly synthesized in the liver, recent studies have also demonstrated Cp synthesis in rat sertoli cells and human synovial tissue. Wistar male rats (180-220 g) were instilled intratracheally with 50 mg of silica (more than 97% of SiO2 and 95% of the silica particles with diameters less than 5 μm) suspended in 1.0 ml saline. Rats were killed for excising their lung and liver on the 21st day after instillation. Lung cells were harvested by repeated bronchial lavages with saline. Monolayer cells were cultured for 12-16 hours in the serum-free culture medium. Then the alveolar macrophages were collected for assay.Results Dot blotting results showed that Cp mRNA content increased in the liver as expected and was also detectable in the lung, with a nearly 2-fold increase compared with the normal rat lung in the normal group (saline injection). In situ hybrodization and Northern blotting revealed that the lung mesenchymal cells and the alveolar macrophages can express Cp mRNA in silicosis.Conclusions These data indicate that the lung is a prominent site of extrahepatic Cp gene expression during silicosis, thus suggesting that this protein may play a previously unknown role in pulmonary injury or repair.

Objective To establish normally immortalized porcine hepatocyte lines by ectopic expression of simian virus 40 large T (SV40LT) antigen and the human telomerase reverse transcriptase(hTERT). Methods Primary porcine Hepatoeyte cells were transfeeted with recombinant retrovirus containing SV40LT or hTERT respectively. Subsequently drug resistant cell clones were screened and expanded for further studies. Immortalized porcine hepatocyte was confirmed by examination. Results The morphological phenotype of the transfected cells was similar to the primary porcine hepatocyte. One clone, HepLP, has been maintained in cultue for half year, and expanded by more than 60 passages. SV40 LT and hTERT could be detected in transfected porcine hepatocyte. Pig albumin mRNA was also detected by RT-PCR. No tumor formation occurred when HepLP cells were injected into Balb/c nude mice. Conclusions The immortalized, nontumorigenic, porcine hepatoeytes maintained the properties of porcine primary hepatocytes such as the albumin secretion. This generation of immortalized porcine hepatocyte may be helpful for bioartifical liver support system, hepatocytes transplantation, drug/toxicological studies, and liver biologic studies.

Objective To establish immortalized human hepatocyte lines for studies of bioartificial liver,hepatocyte transplantation,and drug metabolism in vitro.Methods Primary human hepatocytes were isolated by 4-step perfusion technique with collagenase and transfected with recombinant retrovirus containing Simian virus 40 large T antigen(SV40 LT).Subsequently,immortalized human hepatocytes were evaluated by analysis of gene expression and functional characteristics in vitro.Results Two immortalized human hepatocyte lines,HepLi2 and HepLi3,were obtained after primary human hepatocytes being infected by SV40 LT containing recombinant retrovirus for 3-4 weeks.The immortalized human hepatocytes showed classical appearance of hepatocyte observed by phase contrast microscope.The protein expression of SV40 LT in HepLi2 and HepLi3 cells were detected by Western blotting.The mRNA expressions of albumin(Alb),glutathione S-transferase(GST-p),human blood coagulation factor X(HBCF-X)and β-actin in HepLi2 and HepLi3 cells were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),and the mRNA expressions of cytochrome(CY)450 subtypes(CYP3A5,CYP2E1,CYP2C8-19 and CYP3A4)in HepLi2 and HepLi3 cells were also observed by RT-PCR.Levels of alanine transaminase (ALT),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and Alb were detected in the supernatant of immortalized human hepatoeyte culture.Conclusions The immortalized human hepatocyte lines have the biological characteristics of primary human hepatocytes and have the CYP450 functions of hepatocytes,which may be heIDful for the studies of bioartificial liver,heoatocvte transplantation and drug metabolism in vitro.
