Objective To study the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on the ischemia-reperfusion injury of the intestine in rats.Methods BMSCs were isolated from femur of male Wistar rats and cultured,and the phenotypes of third generation cultured cells were identified.B16-F10-Luc-G5 cells were injected into the intestinal submucosa and traced by Luciferin.Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury models were established in male Wistar rats,which were divided into the experimental group (1 ml BMSCs suspension which contained 5 × 106 cells was injected into the intestinal submucosa) and the control group (1 ml normal saline was inject into the intestinal submucosa).Then,serum and intestinal tissue samples were collected at 0,2,6,24,72 and 120 h after operation.Diamine oxidase,D-lactate and TNF-α were tested by ELISA,intestinal tissue samples were observed under the Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy,and tight junction protein-1 (ZO-1) was detected by using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.Results BMSCs were isolated and cultured successfully and they colonized in the intestine.The pathological changes of the intestine in experimental group were milder than in control group. Intestinal mucosal barrier was more intact in experimental group than in control group.In the experimental group and control group,DAO was (11.36 ± 1.89) and (14.27 ± 2.09)IU/ml (P<0.05) at 6th h after injection,and that was (5.04 ± 1.04) and (7.35 ± 1.46) IU/ml (P<0.05) at 24h after injection,respectively.In the experimental group and control group,D-lactate was (1.57 ± 0.25) and ( 1.93 ± 0.19) mmol/L (P<0.05) at 6th h after injection,and that was ( 1.09 ± 0.13) and ( 1.41 ± 0.07) mmol/L (P<0.01 ) at 24th h after injection,respectively.In the experimental group and control group,TNF-α was (266.09 ± 8.84) and (286.81 ± 11.54) ng/L (P<0.01 ) at 6th h after injection,and that was (190.39 ± 4.24) and (218.49 ± 15.51 )ng/L (P<0.01 ) at 24th h after injection,respectively.The expression of ZO-1 protein was higher in experimental group than in control group. ConclusionInjection of BMSCs into could protect the intestine from ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the changes of the immunological factors in subcutaneous exudate and blood components of the rats receiving cutaneous scraping method,and to compare the changes of skin histopathological features before and after cutaneous scraping under microscope.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into two groups,cutaneous-scraping group and non-cutaneous-scraping group.And then each group was divided into three subgroups.The observation indexes included the levels of interleukin (IL)-1β,IL-6 and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) in the blood and the skin,routine blood examination,and skin histopathological features.Results In cutaneous-scraping group,the number of white blood cells in the blood and the levels of IL-1 β and IFN-γ in skin tissues were increased (P < 0.05),the hemolysis rate was increased (P < 0.05).However,the levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and IFN-γin the blood showed no obvious changes.Under the microscope,severe skin edema,vascular congestion and dilatation,and infiltration of inflammatory cells were found in the skin after cutaneous scraping.Conclusion The cutaneous scraping method can activate the immune response rapidly,and the immunological components of the subcutaneous exudate after cutaneous scraping are helpful to the disease treatment.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of computed tomography(CT)combined with TaqMan probe for cardiopulmonary injury of pediatric patients with mycoplasma pneumonia of different clinical features.Methods:The medical records of 80 pediatric patients with mycoplasma pneumonia admitted to Shijiazhuang Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from March 2020 to March 2023 were collected,and they were divided into<1 year old group(29 cases),1-3 years old group(23 cases)and>3 years old group(28 cases).They also were divided into long disease course group(43 cases,the disease course>7 d)and short disease course group(37 cases,the disease course≤7 d).All of pediatric patients underwent CT combined with TaqMan probe method to detect the cardiopulmonary injury,and to analyze the incidences of cardiopulmonary injury in pediatric patients of different age groups and different disease course groups.The CT and TaqMan probe were adopted to detect the pleural effusion,myocardial thickness,cardiothoracic ratio and the expression level of mycoplasma nucleic acid,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were adopted to analyze the diagnostic value of CT and probe in detecting cardiopulmonary injury of patients with mycoplasma pneumonia.Results:CT imaging showed that typical pulmonary abnormalities were present in patients of 62.5%,with a diagnostic accuracy of 93.75%(75/80),which main findings were pulmonary ground glass nodules(GGO),combined bacterial pneumonia and reticulation.Bronchiectasis was found in a small portion of patients.Bilateral pulmonary involvement was found in patients with pulmonary abnormalities,and the involvement of lower lobe was the most obvious in them.The 38 pediatric patients with clinically suspected incidental pulmonary embolism(PE)received additional CT examination with contrast agent,and the 24 pediatric patients of them were diagnosed as PE,and the diagnostic accuracy was 63.15%(24/38).TaqMan probe method was adopted to detect mycoplasma infection,and a high sensitivity and wide dynamic range detection system was established,which could conduct six times of dilutions for 10-fold between 0.2-0.2×10-5.Preparation was performed in 1 ng/μ l microbial community(MMC)-DNA standards,which had high linear dynamic range of 6 times of log10 dilutions with regression coefficient of R2=1.The detection lower limit was found to be 2×10-15 g/μl DNA.The incidence of cardiopulmonary injury gradually decreased with increasing age of pediatric patients with mycoplasma pneumonia of different ages.The incidences of cardiopulmonary injury in pediatric patients with mycoplasma pneumonia of<1 year old group,1 to 3 years old group and>3 years old group were respectively 93.10%,73.91%and 21.43%,and there were significant differences among the 3 groups(x2=7.660,33.019,P<0.05).The incidence(93.02%)of cardiopulmonary injury of long disease course group was significantly higher than that of short disease course group(27.03%),and the differences were statistically significant(x2=12.070,36.960,P<0.05),respectively.The amount of pleural effusion in the cardiopulmonary injury group was significantly higher than that in the non-cardiopulmonary damage group,and the myocardial thickness of cardiopulmonary injury group was significantly increased at the same time,and the cardiothoracic ratio of cardiopulmonary injury group was also significantly higher than that of non-cardiopulmonary injury group.There was significant difference in the expression level of mycoplasma nucleic acid(t=9.52,3.33,4.22,10.00,P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value of CT combined with TaqMan probe method was larger than 0.5 in diagnosing cardiopulmonary injury of pediatric patients with mycoplasma pneumonia of different clinical features,and the AUC value of the combined diagnosis was largest.Conclusion:CT combined with TaqMan probe method has higher diagnostic value for the cardiopulmonary injury of pediatric patients with mycoplasma pneumonia.It should be considered to conduct the diagnosis of cardiopulmonary injury for pediatric patients who persistently exist the clinical symptom of mycoplasma pneumonia.The adaptation of existing TaqMan probe method,and the further expanded dPCR detection combination would improve the microbial diagnostic toolbox,which would provide reliable quantitative data for treatment decisions to cardiopulmonary injury of pediatric patients with mycoplasma pneumonia.
