Objective To investigate the survival profile of the intradermally injected mouse autologous skin fibroblasts and the changes of the collagen fibers by using green fluorescent protein labeling and two-photon fluorescence microscopy. Methods The cultured cells were transfected by EGFP lentivirus, and then the cells were injected into the corresponding mouse skin. Biopsy was taken from the animals after 1 and 2 months. The specimens made serial frozen sections, the survival profile of the injected cells and the changes of the collagen fibers were observed by two-photon fluorescence microscopy. The collagenic area and dermal thickness were measured with image analysis software, and statistical analysis was also carried out. Results Two-photon fluorescence microscopy showed clear images of the injected cells and collagen fibers. Both the area of collagen fibers and the dermal thickness were significantly increased in injected cells after 2 months (P<0.05), however, there were no difference between injected cells and control after 1 mouth (P>0.05). Conclusions Autologous cultured fibroblasts could survive in a long time after transplantating into the skin, and collagen could be newly produced, the depth of dermis increases, which provides a possibility to treat mini-defects of the tissue.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of daidzein (DD) on myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by pressure overload in rats and to study its mechanism. MethodsMyocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis model of rats induced by pressure overload was prepared by constricting abdominal aorta. The operated rats were randomly divided into sham operated control group, aorta-constricted model group, and three DD groups (30, 60, and 120 mg/kg). Four weeks later, the heart-weight (HW), left ventricular weight (LVW), the ratio of HW/BW and LVW/BW (LVI), and the cardio-myocyte diameters (MD) after dying by HE color were measured. The content of collagen and nitric oxide (NO), the activity of calcineurin (CaN) and Na+, K+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase in the left ventricle were quantified with spectrophotometry. The angiotension Ⅱ (AngⅡ) in the left ventricle was messured with radioimmunoassay. Results In aorta-constricted model group, the ratio of HW/BW, LVI, and MD as well as the content of collagen and AngⅡ, the activity of CaN in the left ventricle was significantly increased, and Na+, K+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase activity and NO content in the left ventricle were obviously decreased. After treatment of the left ventricular with DD, NO content, Na+, K+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase activity were significantly increased, the content of collagen and of AngⅡ and the activity of CaN in the left ventricle and the ratio of HW/BW, LVI, and MD were significantly reduced. ConclusionDD has protective effects on ventricular remodeling in rats with myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by pressure overload and its mechanism may be related to raising NO content and reducing the level of AngⅡ and the activity of CaN.

Objectives To detect gene mutation associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and to identify mutation spectrum and clinical feature in HLH in children. Methods Thirty-seven (37) pediatric patients diagnosed with HLH according to 2004 clinical and laboratory criteria were enrolled from July 2012 to November 2015. Nucleotide sequences of all exons and their flanking intronic sequences of ten genes associated with HLH were amplified with PCR followed by direct sequencing. Point mutation analysis was performed after the direct sequencing. Results The median age of all the 37 patients was 2.6 years. The median ages of patients with gene mutation (n=22) and without gene mutation (n=15) was 2.09 years and 2.67 years, without statistical significance. Twenty-two patients were identified with gene mutations. All of them were heterozygous. UNC13D mutation (50%) is of the highest frequency in the above genes. The splicing mutations (38%) were the main type of UNC13D mutations,and missense mutations or frame-shift mutations were also found. There was no statistical difference in ages of onset and laboratory data of neutrophils, thrombocytes, NK cell activities within the three groups: multi-site mutations, single-site mutations and no mutations. EBV infection was detected in 70.3% patients. In mutation group, one patient died when he was in the period of inducing remission, and four patients were relapsed. Among them four patients were infected with EBV and one patients was negative at the onset while positive in recurrence. Conclusions UNC13D was the predominant causative gene in the Chinese population according our data. There was no significant relevance between age of onset, severity of disease and gene mutations. Attention should be paid to a patient with HLH gene mutation infected by EBV, which it might mean a poor prognosis.
