Objective To explore the reliable method for primary cultivation and identification of satellite cells of mice skeletal muscles in vitro.Methods Cell suspension was obtained from posterior limb skeletal muscles of newborn mice by mixed enzymatic digestion,and the muscle satellite cells were separated by Percoll-density gradient centrifugation and purified with differential adherence method.Cells growth was observed under an inverted microscope and the growth curve was drawn.Satellite cells were identified with monoclonal antibody against desmin and ?-actin.Results The primary satellite cells were round in shape,and began on adherence one day after cultivation,and the cells distributed uniformly,most of the cells were roundish.After cultured for 48 hours,the cells began on proliferation,and then became bigger and started to division,bubble cell arrangements with 2-3 or more cells were observed.At the third or fourth day of cultivation,the cells were in exponential phase of growth,and the round cells predominated,many clusters of cell clones were found.The satellite cells formed monolayer sheet(50%-70%) 7-10 days after cultivation,the fusiform cells predominated,but there were still some round cells in this phase.The cell proliferation decreased after cultured for 10-12 days.Immunocytochemical staining showed that the obtained cells expressed myogenic marker desmin and skeletal muscle-specific protein ?-actin.Conclusions High purity muscle satellite cells could be obtained by mixed enzymatic digestion,Percoll-density gradient centrifugation and differential adherence method.Immunocytochemical staining of desmin and ?-actin is the effective method to identify muscle satellite cells.

AIM: To investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the mRNA expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD14 in lens epithelial cells (LECs).METHODS: The cultured LECs were incubated with defferent concentrations of LPS for defferent times.The mRNA expression of TLR4 and CD14 in LECs were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).RESULTS: The mRNA expression of TLR4 in the LECs treated with LPS at concentrations of 50 μg/L, 100 μg/L, 200 μg/L, 500 μg/L or 1 000 μg/L was higher than that in the LECs without LPS treatment (P<0.01), respectively.The mRNA expression of TLR4 in the LECs incubated with 100 μg/L LPS for 24 h, 48 h or 72 h was higher than that in LECs without LPS treatment at same time points (P<0.01).The mRNA expression of CD14 in the LECs incubated with LPS at concentration of 100 μg/L for 24 h was also higher than that in the LECs without LPS treatment (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: LPS enhances the mRNA expression of TLR4 and CD14 in LECs, which may be related to intraocular response, as well as to the formation and development of after-cataract.

OBJECTIVE:To explore mechanism,prevention and treatment of thrombosis following implantation of coronary artery stent.METHODS:The first author used computer to retrieve Vip Database (http://www.cqvip.com/) for articles concerning thrombosis following implantation of coronary artery stent published from January 2000 to October 2009.The key words included "coronary artery,stent implantation,thrombus".The data were primarily screened,and references of each article were checked.Inclusion criteria:mechanism and risk factor of thrombosis in stent;prevention and treatment of thrombosis in stent.Exclusion criteria:articles addressing duplicated or old contents.Finally,28 articles were included.RESULTS:Thrombosis in stent was a severe complication in interventional therapy of coronary artery disease,could induce severe outcomes for the body.Compared with common mental stent,drug eluting stents can significantly reduce restenosis rate and revascularization rate of target lesions.Following stent implantation,thrombosis in stent can occur in early,late and extremely late phases.The mechanisms are different.Antiplatelet,anticoagulation and lipid-lowering therapy can diminish the occurrence rate of thrombosis in stent.Individual surgery and individual drug therapy not only can solve revascularization in the coronary artery,but also decrease restenosis rate and occurrence rate of thrombosis in stent.CONCLUSION:With the expectation of novel stents,various risk factors for thrombosis in stent should be assessed in detail to achieve individual surgery and individual drug therapy.During revascularization in the coronary artery,restenosis rate and occurrence rate of thrombosis in stent should be reduced.

[Objective] To research the plantar pressure distribution of the normal Chinese adult. [Method] The F-scan plantar pressure analysis system was used to collect plantar pressure distribution data of 100 volunteers who stand, walk, jog, go upstairs and downstairs.The plantar pressure distribution data of 5 kinds of physiological states, as well as influence of sex, height, body weight, body mass index and speed was analyzed. [Result] There's different characteristic between 5 kinds of states of the plantar pressure distribution in the Chinese normal adults. There's significant difference between static and dynamic. In four dynamic motions, the gait of walk was stalest, and it became unstable if speed up and go upstairs or downstairs. As for the influential factors of the plantar pressure distribution, there was non-significance of sex. But the speed had the significance. The height, the body weight, the BMI had weak correlation with the plantar pressure distribution. [Conclusion] The plantar pressure distribution of normal Chinese adults has the distinctive quality. The data obtained by this experiment, may provide the reference for the clinical plantar pressure analysis.

AIM: To investigate the effects of Schisandrin B (Sch B) on apoptosis of lens epithelial cells (LEC) treated with H 2O 2. METHODS: Eyes in SD rats were excised and lenses were separated under operating microscope in sterilized condition. Lenses were divided randomly into four groups with different treatment: control group, hydrogen peroxide group (H 2O 2), pirenoxine sodium group (PS) and schisandrin B group (Sch B). Lenses were incubated in CO 2 incubator for 24 h with 300 ?mol?L -1 H 2O 2 and with or without 0 5 mmol?L -1 Sch B. LEC aoptosis and apoptosis rate were measured by TUNEL method. Ultrastructure changes and apoptosis bodies of LEC were observed via transmitted electron microscope. RESULTS: (1) Apoptosis rate in H 2O 2 group (92.0?2.6) was significantly higher than that in control group (3.5?1.8). Apoptosis rate in Sch B group (13.8?3.27) was remarkably lower than that in H 2O 2 group and PS group. (2) Ultrastructure observation indicated that apoptosis cells occurred in most LEC in H 2O 2 group and the changes were severe presenting different stages. While a few apoptosis cells were observed in Sch B group, the changes were slight and most of them were in early and middle stages. CONCLUSION: These data indicated that Sch B significantly inhibited apoptosis of LEC during experimental oxidative injury, the effects were stronger than PS.
