BACKGROUND:As a kind of adult stem cel s with low immunogenicity, mesenchymal stem cel s are able to differentiate into different cel lineages in the treatment of many diseases. Moreover, mesenchymal stem cel s have been extensively used in many fields such as stem cel transplantation, immune therapy, and tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE:To review the progress of homing mechanism and the strategies to promote mesenchymal stem cel homing, thus providing a theoretical basis for transplanting mesenchymal stem cel s safely and efficiently. METHODS:The CNKI and PubMed databases were retrieved by computer for articles regarding mesenchymal stem cel homing published from 2000 to 2016, including reviews, basic and clinical studies. The key words were“mesenchymal stem cel s, homing”in Chinese and English, respectively. Then 74 papers were suitable for final analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Mesenchymal stem cel homing needs further research, especial y the molecular mechanism of cel mobilization. Therefore, basic research about mesenchymal stem cel s should be further developed, and a standardized homing system should be established in vitro. In addition, it is of great significance to study the in vivo effects of transplanted gene-transfected mesenchymal stem cel s.

This article investigated the applicability of the near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) technology, combined with the least squares support vector machines (LS SVM) used for the quality monitoring of medicated leaven fermentation. First, near infrared spectra of 67 medicated leaven samples were obtained by near infrared spectroscopy system in the wavelength range of 400 2 500 nm, and then the protease and amylase activity were measured by Folin phenol method and DNS method. Thereafter, the LS SVM was employed to calibrate models. The Rc and Rp of protease in near infrared model were 0.975 and 0.938, respectively; The RMSEC and RMSEP were 5.297 and 9.795, respectively. The Rc and Rp of amylase in near infrared model were 0.987 and 0.973, respectively; The RMSEC and RMSEP were 7.215 and 6.864, respectively. This model has good prediction ability and is suitable for quality monitoring in medicated leaven fermentation process. The research achievement could lay a certain foundation for the near infrared spectral analysis technology applied in the field of traditional fermentation processing.

Objective To investigate the expression of monocyte-macrophage-related factors and interstitial fibrosis in kidney tissues of rats with ureter obstruction and recanalization .Methods Forty-eight male Spragur-Dawley rats were divided randomly into the obstructive group:sham (n=6), unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO)3 days (n=6), UUO 7 days (n=6), and UUO 14 days (n=6) and recanalization group:bilateral ureteral obstruction(RBUO)0 day (n=6), 3 days after RBUO (n=6), 7 days after RBUO (n=6), and 14 days after RBUO (n=6).The kidneys were excised on day 3, 7, and 14, and the deposition of collagen fibers in kidney was detected with HE and Masson staining . Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate the protein expressions of monocyte chemoattractant protein -1 (MCP-1), macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and activated-macrophage marker CD68.Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of MCP-1 and M-CSF.TGF-β1 levels were determined by ELISA .Results Fibrosis observed with HE and Masson staining was obviously increased in kidney tissue of UUO rats , and aggravated as time prolonged, but alleviated in rats with recanalization .TGF-β1 levels were increased obviously in the UUO group , but decreased in rats with recanalization compared with those in BUO rats .In UUO rats, mRNA and protein expression levels of MCP-1 and M-CSF were increased .MCP-1 and M-CSF expression was gradually decreased in rats with recanalization compared with those in BUO rats .The dynamic change in expression of MCP-1 and M-CSF in both UUO rats and recanalization rats was consistent with the change in expression of CD 68. Conclusion Dynamic change in expression of MCP-1 and M-CSF in kidney tissues reflects change of activated and accumulated monocyte -macrophages , which may be one of the major mechanisms contributing to fibrosis induced by ureter obstruction .Renal fibrosis is alleviated by down-regulated expression of monocyte-macrophages factors with recanalization operation .

To observe BAG-1, EGFR, and PARP-1 expressions in invasive breast cancer and its correlation with clini-cal pathological indicators, as well as to evaluate their clinical significance. Methods:The BAG-l, EGFR, and PARP-1 expressions in a tissue microarray of invasive breast cancer and peritumoral tissues were detected through immunohistochemical staining. The clinical and pathological significance of BAG-1, EGFR, and PARP-1 were evaluated. Results:The BAG-1, EGFR, and PARP-1 expression lev-els are higher in invasive breast cancer tissues than in peritumoral tissues (P<0.05). BAG-1 expression in invasive cancer tissues is not related to age, tumor site, lymph node metastases, and clinical TNM staging of patients, but is related to size, grade, ER, PR, and HER-2 expressions and molecular subtype (P<0.05). EGFR expression is related to size, clinical TNM staging, and molecular subtype (P<0.05). PARP-1 expression is related to grade, lymph node metastases, ER, and molecular subtype (P<0.05). BAG-1 expression is not significantly correlated with EGFR and PARP-1 in all cases, but BAG-1 and PARP-1 expressions are positively correlated in tri-ple-negative breast cancer tissues (P<0.05). Results of the univariate analysis revealed that the BAG-1 and PARP-1 expressions and the molecular subtypes are associated with the prognoses of breast cancer patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that BAG-1 and PARP-1 expressions are factors that are independent of the prognosis. Conclusion: BAG-1, EGFR, and PARP-1 overexpressions in human breast tissues suggest that BAG-1, EGFR, and PARP-1 are related to breast cancer development. BAG-1, EGFR, and PARP-1 are poten-tial biomarkers of breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
