Chinese Journal of Immunology 2015;(4):477-479
Objective:To explore the effects of exercise on the spleen T lymphocyte proliferation and T lymphocyte subsets of SD rats.Methods:24 SD rats were divided into 3 groups randomly:control group,30 min exercise group,60 min exercise group;MTT and flow cytometry ( FCM ) were utilized to examine the spleen T lymphocyte proliferative capability and T lymphocyte subsets, respectively.Results:Compared with the control group,the T lymphocyte proliferation,levels of CD4+and CD4+/CD8+T lymphocytes in 30 min exercise group rats were significantly increased(P<0.05),levels of CD8+T lymphocytes in 30 min exercise group rats had no statistically significant change;the T lymphocyte proliferation,levels of CD4+,CD8+and CD4+/CD8+T lymphocytes in 60 min exercise group rats had no statistically significant changes.Conclusion: Suitable loaded exercise could enhance the cellular immune function, this is probably related with the mechanisms of improving the T lymphocyte proliferative capability and regulating the CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte subsets.
2. Analysis of liquid-solid interaction during three-dimensional printing of medical amorphous calcium phosphate
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2021;25(16):2548-2553
BACKGROUND: Based on excellent hydration ability, the materials for repairing bone defects could be fabricated by three-dimensional printing from amorphous calcium phosphate simply with pure water as adhesive solution; and more importantly, the printed products could be directly used in clinical medicine without high temperature sintering, so amorphous calcium phosphate fits well with technical features of three-dimensional printing. OBJECTIVE: To prepare bone repair materials of amorphous calcium phosphate with mechanical property and printing accuracy to meet practical application requirements by three-dimensional printing. METHODS: Amorphous calcium phosphate used as prototyping powder was prepared by coprecipitation method, and then the viscosity and surface tension of the deionized water as adhesive solution were adjusted by thickening agent and leveling agent, respectively. Afterwards, the three-dimensional printing productions for repairing bone defects were fabricated, and the effects of the viscosity and surface tension of adhesive solution on the forming of droplet, liquid-solid interaction and the mechanical property as well as printing accuracy of three-dimensional printing productions were investigated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: By investigating the forming of droplet and liquid-solid interaction, the optimal physicochemical parameters of the adhesive solution were obtained. The viscosity and surface tension of the optimal adhesive solution were 8.0 × 10-3 Pa•s and 40.0 × 10-3 N/m separately, and at this point, not only droplet could form stably and controllably (Z=5.06), but also it smoothly struck the powder layer during spraying (K=14.29), and then it infiltrated into the powder layer uniformly and spread in time (We=36.86). The corresponding three-dimensional printing production has good mechanical properties (compressive strength is 30.4 MPa), high printing accuracy (forming error is 0.9 mm), and a large number of pores indicating good bone conductivity, which partially meets clinical demands of repairing bone defects.

The fibroblasts have long been considered as structural elements and playing a main role in wound healing. Recent studies indicated that fibroblasts are heterogenic cells and function as resident sentinel cells in inflammatory reaction. When activated by substances released during tissue injury or derived from infectious microorganisms or by proinflammatory cytokines, tissuespecific fibroblasts can transiently produce certain chemokines and initiate a cascade of inflammatory reaction. In addition fibroblasts can produce prostanoids that participate in inflammatory and immune responses. In this review, the new role of fibroblasts in regulation of inflammation and immune reactions and possible molecular mechanism will be discuss.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine administered intranasally on the median effective target plasma concentration (EC50) of propofol inhibiting responses to laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion in the pediatric patients.Methods American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ pediatric patients of both sexes,aged 1-3 yr,with body mass index of 20-26 kg/m2,scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were divided into 3 groups using a random number table:control group (group C),dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg group (group D1) and dexmnedetomidine 2 μg/kg group (group D2).At 20 min before induction of anesthesia,dexmedetomidine 1 and 2 μg/kg (diluted to 1 ml in normal saline) were intranasally administered in D1 and D2 groups,respectively,and the equal volume of normal saline was intranasally administered in group C.Children were separated from their parents at 20 min after intranasal administration and admitted to the operating room.The target plasma concentration of propofol was determined by modified Dixon's up-and-down method.The initial target plasma concentration of propofol was set at 5.4 μg/ml.The target plasma concentration of propofol was increased/decreased by 10% in the next patient according to the response to LMA insertion,and the ratio between the two successive concentrations was 1.1.Patients' sedation status and LMA acceptance were evaluated when patients were separated from their parents.Patient's satisfaction with sedation and with LMA acceptance was recorded.Probit analysis was used to calculate the EC50 of propofol inhibiting responses to LMA insertion.Results Compared with group C,the satisfactory rates of sedation and LMA acceptance were significantly increased,and EC50 of propofol inhibiting responses to LMA insertion was decreased in D1 and D2 groups (P<0.05).Compared with group D1,the satisfactory rates of sedation and LMA acceptance were significantly increased,and the EC50 of propofol inhibiting responses to LMA insertion was decreased in group D2 (P<0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine 1 and 2 μg/kg administered intranasally both can decrease the EC50 of propofol inhibiting responses to LMA insertion in the pediatric patients,and 2 μg/kg produces better efficacy.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of Vitamin D (VitD) on diabetic rats,and whether the protective mechanism is associated with the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and insulin resistance (IR).Methods Diabetic Wistar rats were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin,and randomly divided into diabetic group,VitD treatment group (treatment group).Normal rats were served as normal control group.Treatment group was treated with VitD for 8 weeks.The levels of 24 h urinary protein (24 h UP),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),plasma insulin (p-Ins),plasma adiponectin (p-Adi),plasma glucagon (p-Gln) were measured.Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1),interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determinated in renal cortical homogenate.The activity of NF-κB was evaluated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay.The mRNA expressions of glucose transporter protein 1 (GLUT1) and GLUT4 in renal cortex were detected by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR.Western blot analysis was performed to measure the phosphorylation of NF-κB and its inhibitor I kappa Balpha (IκBα),insulin receptor substrate protein 1 (IRS1),phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K),p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38MAPK).Results Compared with the normal control group,24 h UP,FPG,p-Ins,p-Gln were significantly increased,and inflammatory markers and the expression of GLUT1 elevated in renal cortex in DM group,there were significant differences(all P <0.01).The activity of NF-κB (P <0.01) and the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 and p38MAPK were elevated (all P < 0.01),and phosphorylation of IκBα,IRS1,PI3K were decreased (all P < 0.05,0.01) in diabetic group compared with those of normal control group.VitD treatment could ameliorate urine protein,increase p-Adi,reduce inflammatory markers and NF-κB activity (P < 0.01),maintain GLUT1 expression,but had no effect on GLUT4 expression in renal cortical,attenuate NF-κB p65,p38MAPK phosphorylation (all P < 0.05),partly restore IκBα,IRS1,PI3 K phosphorylation in diabetic rats (all P < 0.05,0.01).Conclusions Protective role of VitD is associated with inhibiting the expression of NF-κB and reducing the insulin resistance in diabetes.
