Adult stem cells identified in tissue organs possess obviously plasticity. They can differentiate into the cells in other systems and germ layers, which are known to support the continuous repair and regeneration of tissues. In the vascular tissue engineering, the research was more and more widespread and deep on adult stem cells as seed cells～ Research indicated that there are many kinds of adult stem cells which can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells, such as bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, human adipose derived stem cells, and amnion derived stem calls. Thus, this study reviewed the current situation of adult stem cells as seed cells in vascular tissue engineering.

Objective To observe the alteration of Bcl-2 and Fas-L at various intervals after traumatic brain injury and study the relationship between the alteration and the post-injury interval. Method The rat brain contusion was incurred by falling impact injury, paraffin section was cut after the test group rats were killed after various survival interval and stained with antibody of Bcl-2 and Fas-L, the hemotoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was carried out meanwhile. The staining results were measured quantitatively with computer imaging analysis system. Results Positive staining nerve celis were observed around the contusion area. At 30min after injury, a few Bcl-2 could be found around the wound, the intensity and the quantity of Bcl-2 positive celis increased significantly as post-injury interval extended. At 4h, the intensity came to a peak. Then the staining decreased. Although some Fas-L positive staining celis could be found around the wound at 30min after injury, the staining increased insignificantly from Ih to 4h after the injury. After 4h, the Fas-L positive staining cell increased significantly both in intensity and in quantity as post-injury interval extended. Conclusion There is a rule that the expression of Bcl-2 and Fas-L alters along with post-injury interval extension, which will be of value in time estimation of brain injury.

Objective To study the value of clinical application of leukocyte classification alarm system (Q‐Flag ) for Sysmex XT‐1800i blood cell analyzer .Methods 394 blood samples with alarm system (Q‐Flag) and 190 ones without abnormal alarm infor‐mation detected by the Sysmex XT‐1800i blood cell analyzer were performed to observe the quantity and morphology of blood cells by manual differentiation ,and the results were compared between them .Results The alarm system of Sysmex XT‐1800i blood cell analyzer in detecting cell morphologic abnormalities was 100 .0% for sensitivity ,62 .3% for specificity ,70 .8% for positive predic‐tive value and 100 .0% for negative predictive value .Based on thegold standardof manual differentiation ,no abnormal cells were observed in those blood samples without Q‐Flag alarm information and the coincidence rate was 100% .The coincidence rate of leu‐kocyte classification was from 0 .0% to 75 .0% for blood cell analyzer when the alarm system (Q‐Flag) was between 100U and 200U ,and that was from 66 .7% to 95 .6% when the alarm system (Q‐Flag) was between 200U and 300U .Conclusion The alarm system sensitivity of leukocyte classification alarm system (Q‐Flag) is high for Sysmex XT‐1800i blood cell analyzer ,and it is nec‐essary to manually differentiate the samples with abnormal Q‐Flag in order to provide accurate and reliable clinical diagnostic infor‐mation .

Objective To study the neuro-protective effects of magnetotherapy after traumatic brain injury of rats. Methods Traumatic brain injury models were created in 20 rats and divided randomly into magnetotherapy and non-magnetotherapy groups. The rats in magnetotherapy group received magnetotherapy on the cranial surface of traumatized region twice daily, each for 20 min, over 10 d. The intensity of magnetic field was O. 15 T at the surface,and 0.1 T during spinning at 3000 rpm. The contraction strength of gastrocnemius of each rat's left hind limb was measured on the 11 th d after trauma. The rats were then sacrificed and brain tissue samples were taken. The infiltra-tions of CD4 + and CD8 + cells and apnptosis in the area around the injury lesion were observed with immunohisto-chemical methods. The relationship among the indexes was analyzed. Results At the 11th d after brain injury, the quantities of CD4 + and CD8 + cells and apoptotic cells in magnetotherapy group were all obviously less than those in non-magnetotherapy group. Average contraction strength of gastrocnemius in magnetotherapy group was significantly stronger than that in non-magnetotherapy group. Conclusions Magnetotherapy can relieve the secondary effects of brain injury and induce neuro-protection effects. This may involve decreasing the local infiltrations of CD4 + and CD8 + and apoptotic cells in the area around the injury lesion.

Objective To study the dose-and time-effects of X-ray irradiation on the expression of Pokemon gene in A549 cells of human lung adenocarcinoma.Methods A549 cells were cultured in vitro and exposed to X-rays with the doses of 2,4,6 and 8 Gy,respectively.Untreated A549 cells were used as control group.The relative levels of Pokemon mRNA expression in the cells were detected by using quantitative real-time PCR at 2,4,8,12,24,48 and 72 h after irradiation.Results The Pokemon mRNA expression levels decreased in the early period after irradiation(except 2 and 4 h after irradiation in 2 Gy group)and then increased in the later stage(48 h after irradiation)with significant statistical differences at the most time points in comparison with the control group(t=3.40-154.76,P<0.05).Conclusions Higher doses of X-rays may degrade the expression of Pokemon mRNA in the human A549 cells and induce apoptosis in the early period,hut also may upgrade its expression in the later period, which might be correlated with the cell cycle regulation and DNA damage repair in the A549 cells.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of multiple injection of morphine combined with phloroglucinol in the treatment of renal colic. Methods One hundred and twenty patients with severe renal colic were equally divided into three groups by random digits table,with 40 cases each group. The group A was administrated with physiological saline 100 ml and phloroglucinol 80 mg intervenous drop infusion combined with morphine 9 mg intravenous injection fractionated into three times, and the group B was administrated with physiological saline 100 ml and phloroglucinol 80 mg intervenous drop infusion,and the group C was administrated with physiological saline 100 ml intervenous drop infusion and morphine 9 mg intravenous injection fractionated into three times. At 10,20 and 40 min after administration, the antalgic efficacy of three groups were analyzed as well as the side effect. Results At 20 min and 40 min both of the total efficacy rates in group A[82.5%(33/40),95.0%(38/40)] were higher than those in group B [62.5%(25/40),80.0%(32/40)] and group C [60.0%(24/40),77.5%(31/40)] (P＜ 0.05),and the colic-exclusion rate in group A was also higher than that in group B and group C (P ＜ 0.05). The difference of the efficacy rates in group A in these two time-points had no statistical significance (P ＞0.05). No increased pain occurred in group A except 1 case of vomiting. Conclusion Multiple injection of morphine combined with phloroglucinol is quick, effective and safe in the early treatment of renal colic.

Objective To study the effects of X-ray radiation on CC-chemokine receptor 7(CCR7) expression in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.Methods Humanadenocarcinoma cells of the line A549 were cultured and irradiated by X-ray at the absorbed doses of 2,4,6,and 8 Gy respectively by linear accelerator (with the source skin distance of 100 cm and dose rate of 442.89 cGy/min).The relative levels of CCR7 mRNA and protein expression in the A549 cells were respectively detected by real time-PCR and Western blotting 4,12,24,48,and 72 h after radiation.Untreated A549 cells were used as control group.Results The expression levels of CCR7 mRNA and protein in the A549 cells began to increase since 4 h after radiation and then decreased gradually after they reached the peak.The CCR7 mRNA expression levels 72 h after radiation of the 6 and 8 Gy groups were still significantly higher than those of the control group (t = 6.75-7.26,both P < 0.01),and the CCR7 protein expression levels of the 2 and 6 Gy group were still significantly higher than those of the control group(t=11.13-14.17,both P <0.01).Then the CCR7 protein expression levels of the 4 and 8 Gy groups decreased to the control group level 48 and 72 h after radiation respectively.Conclusions The CCR7 mRNA and protein expression levels in the NSCLC cells increase after X-ray irradiation,which may be correlated with the promotion of proliferation and metastasis of NSCLC cells by X-ray irradiation at a certain dose.

Objective To investigate the effect of ionizing radiation on the expression of transcription factor STAT3 target genes in the pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line A549.Methods The expressions of VEGF,Bcl-2 and Survivin in A549 cells with or without STAT3 inhibition were detected by RT-PCR and/or Western blot 24 h after 2 or 4 Gy of γ-ray irradiation.Results After γ-ray irradiation with 2 or 4 Gy,the expression of VEGF and Survivin increased significantly.However,the expression of Bcl-2 was not affected by γ-ray irradiation.Furthermore,the increased expression of VEGF and Survivin induced by radiation was found to be inhibited after radiation-induced activation of STAT3 was blocked by AG490 inhibiter.Conclusions γ-ray irradiation could up-regulate the expression of Survivin and VEGF via activating STAT3.The increase of Survivin might partly inhibit the radiation-induced apoptosis of A549 cells,and the up-regulation of VEGF might contribute to the tumor angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate a reproducible model of severe crush injury (CI) in rats.Methods A total of 50 clean grade male SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into 5 groups.Both hindlimbs of anesthetized rats were compressed by blocks weighing 3.5 kg,for 6 hours and followed by 3 hours of reperfusion on a specially notched device (group SP,n =10),ordinary compression (group NM,n =10) and simple control (group SHAM,n =10).Arterial tension,serum lactate,and potassium (K+),serum myoglobin (MB),aspartate transferase (AST) and alanine transferase (ALT),BUN and Cr were measured at 10 minutes after cannulaton,and 3 hours after release from compression.Muscles and kidneys were evaluated morphologically.Group D and E were treated in the same way and were observed for 72 h to get the survival rate of the NM group and the specially notched compression group.The SPSS 17.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis,repeated-measures ANOVA analysis for the differences between groups,Kaplan Meier-estimator for survival analysis.Results The Specially notched compression produced a greater increase in serum lactate (F =39.626,P ＜ 0.05),AST (F =24.965,P ＜ 0.05),ALT (F =19.096,P＜0.05),BUN (F=7.938,P＜0.05),CR (F=14.787,P＜0.05) and MB (F=16.840,P ＜0.05) by the end of experiment than NM group and simple control group.The direct cellular damage and ischemia-reperfusion injury were found under microscope.In crush injury caused by specially notched compression there was acute tubular necrosis found at 24 hours after injury.Mortality rate in the NM group was 20％,whereas mortality rate reached 90％ in rats with specially notched compression (P ＜0.05).Conclusions It successfully developed a severe crush injury model in experimental rats,suggesting it is worthwhile to popularization.
