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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of CCL2 and its effects on the proliferation and adhesiveness on leukemia cells in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL). MethodsThe bone marrow mesenchymal cells (BMMSC) and bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) of 30 ALL patients and 30 healthy controls were studied, and CCL2 level was evaluated by ELISA. CCL2 gene mRNA level in ALL was determined by RT-PCR. The cell proliferation and adhesiveness were detected by MTT assays. The cell counts were measured by flow cytometry. ResultsThe BM plasma levels of CCL2 in patients at diagnosis were significantly higher than that in healthy controls [(780.12±129.61) pg/ml vs (120.49±25.21) pg/ml,t =4.96, P =0.00]. Supernatant levels of CCL2 in BMMSC were significantly higher than that of BMMNC [(572.38±35.39) pg/ml vs (193.85±15.45) pg/ml,t =5.37,P =0.00]in vitro.CCL2 cannot induce leukemia proliferation alone,but could induce leukemia proliferation in BMMNC and BMMSC co-culture in a dose- and time-dependent manner.CCL2 could increase the leukemia adhesive to the BMMSC compared with control (r =0.824,P =0.02).ConclusionPatients with B type ALL had higher levels of CCL2 which was secreted by BMMSC. The leukemia could induce the BMMSC to secrete CCL2. CCL2 could promote the survival and proliferation of leukemia in the presence of BMMSC and BMMNC, and enhance ALL cells adhesion toBMMSC in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To explore the possible role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Me-thods After the IgAN model was successfully induced at 12 weeks, the BALB/C mice were randomly divided into IgAN group (n=15) and IgAN+VitD group (n=15). The nephrosis mice were administrated with 100 μl/d propylene glycol or propyl-ene glycol+1,25(OH)2D, 3 ng/(100g?d), for 6 weeks. The control group was setted (n=15). The level of 24 hour urine protein was determined at week 0, 12 and 18. At week 18, the levels of serum 25(OH)D, ifbroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and galactose-deifcient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) were detected. The mRNA and protein expressions of interleukin-21 (IL-21) in Peyer’s patches (PPs) were detected by lfuorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot respectively. The protein expression of Bcl-6 was detected by western blot. The percentages of Tfh cells/T lymphocytes, B220+IgM+/B lympho-cytes, B220+IgA+/B lymphocytes, B220-IgA+/B lymphocytes in PPs were determined by lfow cytometry. Results Compared with control group, the levels of 24 hour urine protein, FGF23 and Gd-IgA1 were increased, serum 25(OH)D was decreased, the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-21 and the protein level of Bcl-6 were increased, the percentages of Tfh cells/T lym-phocytes, B220+IgM+/B lymphocytes, B220+IgA+/B lymphocytes, B220-IgA+/B lymphocytes were elevated in IgAN group (P<0.05). These indicators were improved in IgAN+VitD group. Compared with the IgAN group, the differences were statisti-cally signiifcant (P<0.05), however compared with control group, some indicators showed no signiifcant differences (P>0.05). Conclusions 1,25(OH)2D may protect the microenvironment of PPs in IgAN through inhibiting the differentiation of Tfh cells and B cells and the generation of Gd-IgA1.
