BACKGROUND:Due to the difficulty in the control of delivery and col ection process, antibiotics are often added into the preservation fluid in order to avoid bacterial contamination but not affect cellgrowth and proliferation. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of meropenem on the proliferation and differentiation potential of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:There were two groups in this experiment:control group, preservation fluid with penicil in-streptomycin (final concentration of 100 U/mL);experimental group, preservation fluid with meropenem (final mass concentration of 1.0 mg/L). 100 umbilical cord samples were col ected in each group, and the positive rate was calculated. After isolation and culture, the passage 3 cells were used to draw a growth curve, flow cytometry analysis was used for phenotype determination, and osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of cells were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The contamination rates were 3%(3/100) in the experimental group and 20%(20/100) in the control group, indicating that meropenem can obviously reduce the contamination rate. In the experimental group, the morphology, differentiation potential and cellphenotype of the passage 3 cells were al normal. The proliferation ability of cells showed no difference between the two groups. Therefore, meropenem can be added to the preservation fluid.

BACKGROUND:The growth of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro in different conditioned media is different evidently. So it is necessary to choose a more suitable medium. OBJECTIVE:To contrast and observe the proliferation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in three kinds of media and to check the immunophenotype and differentiation ability of mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were col ected by explant method in sterile conditions. After subculturing by T75 incubation bottles, the third generation of mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/Ham’s nutrient mixture F-12 medium containing 5%fetal bovine serum, Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/Ham’s nutrient mixture F-12 containing 10%fetal bovine serum and Mesen PRO RSTM medium. After 1, 3, 5, 7 days of culture, the cells were counted to draw a growth curve. Immunophenotype of the third generation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were determined by flow cytometry and the ability of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was also detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The third generation of cells cultured highly expressed CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, but did not express CD29, CD31, CD34, HLA-DR. The oil red O staining showed a lot of little red lipid drops after adipogenic induction;alizarin red staining showed osteoblast-like cells after osteogenic induction, indicating umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in vitro have the potential of multi-directional differentiation. After observation and counting, the colony and shape of cells cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/Ham’s nutrient mixture F-12 containing 10%fetal bovine serum were superior to those cultured in the other two media. Therefore, it is concluded that Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/Ham’s nutrient mixture F-12 containing 10%fetal bovine serum is preferred for cellsubculture.

Objective To measure the level of diamine oxidase (DAO), and observe the intestinal motor and mucosal barrier injury after acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. Methods A total of 45 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into SCI group (group A, n=15), sham group (group B, n=15) and control group (group C, n=15). SCI model was established with Allen's strike mode (10 g × 25 mm) by striking T10 spinal segment in rats. One day, three days and seven days after SCI, hind limb motor function was assessed with Basso-Beat-tie-Bresnahan (BBB) Scale in each group, the myoelectric slow wave and ileum smooth muscle contractility were measured in rats, ileum tis-sues were tested with HE staining, and the DAO content of serum was tested with ELISA kit. Results One day, three days and seven days af-ter SCI, the BBB score was significantly lower in group A than in groups B and C (P<0.001). One day, three days after SCI, the frequency and amplitude of both slow wave and contractility were lower in group A than in groups B and C (P<0.05);seven days after SCI, there was no significant difference among three groups (P>0.05). Group A showed ileal mucosal edema, lodging, inflammatory cell infiltration, and submucosal gap increase. The Chiu's score of intestinal mucosal injury was higher in group A than in groups B and C (P<0.05), as well as the serum DAO content one day and three days after SCI (P<0.05), and no significant difference was found in the serum DAO content among three groups seven days after SCI (P>0.05).

BACKGROUND:High-quality and efficient umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells could be obtained by establishing and improving the method to avoid fungal contamination and by effectively decreasing pol ution rate of isolated culture during umbilical cord col ection. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of amphotericin B on growth and differentiation potential of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells were separated from healthy ful-termed delivery fetus using col agenase digestion method and treated with amphotericin B. Subsequently, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells were amplified and cultured in vitro with MesenPRO RSTM medium. The third passage of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in logarithmic phase was obtained to analyze their morphology, proliferation and immunophenotype, and induced to differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes in vitro. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment with amphotericin B, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells were successful y isolated and cultured in vitro. Flow cytometry results revealed that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells strongly expressed CD44, CD105 and CD73, CD90, and negatively expressed HLA-DR, CD29, CD31, and CD34. Amphotericin B-treated human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells can stil differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts in vitro.

This study was aimed to explore the effect of Tang-Nai-Kang (TNK) on trans-differentiation of renal tubular epithelial cell in KKAy mice in order to discuss the possible mechanism. Fifty 12-week-old male KKAy mice were randomly divided into the model group, valsartan group, TNK high-dose, middle-dose and low-dose group, with 10 rats in each group. Ten C57BL/6J mice were used in the normal group. Rats in the model group and normal group were given 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Rats in other groups were given the corresponding drugs. After 8 weeks of gavage administration, kidneys of all mice were sampled and given Mosson and PAS dyeing. Expression distribution of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and E-cadherin in kidney tissues were observed under immunohistochemical staining. Expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) was measured by western blot. The results showed that compared with the normal group, the area of renal fibrosis in the model group was significantly increased (P < 0.01); the expression of α-SMA was stronger; and the expression of E-cadherin was weaker. Compared with the model group, the area of renal fibrosis in the valsartan group, TNK high-dose, middle-dose and low-dose groups were significantly decreased (P< 0.01); the expression of α-SMA was weaker (P< 0.01);and the expression of E-cadherin was obviously increased (P < 0.05). The TGF-β1 expression in the model group was significantly higher than that in the normal group (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the TGF-β1 expression in the valsartan group, TNK low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose groups were significantly lowered (P<0.01). And the TGF-β1 expression in the TNK high-dose group was even lower than that in the valsartan group. It was concluded that TNK was able to suppress the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of renal tubular epithelial cell, and lessen the renal tubule interstitial fibrosis, in order to protect the kidney.
