Objective To investigate the method and optimum conditions of electric transfection,and the major influential factors of electransfection efficiency and the survival rate of dendritic cells. Methods RNA was extracted from human hepatocarcinoma cell line(Bel 7402).Purified monocytes as precursor DC-s(pDC-s) were separated from human peripheral blood cells(PBMCs) by density gradient centrifugalization with lymphocyte gradation fluid and adherence method,pDCs were incubated in RPMI-1640 medium containing rhGM-CSF(8?10~5IU/L) and rIL-4(5?10~5IU/L) for 7 days and made them fully differentiate into immature DCs(imDCs).The total RNA human hepatocarcinoma cell and green fluorescent protein(GFP) were electransfected respectively into imDCs by electroporation apparatus with different electric voltages,times of impulse,cell concentrations,temperatures and electroporation buffers.Numbers of green fluorescence positive cells and the total cell number were counted respectively under fluorescent microscope,and visible light microscope.One day after the electric transfection,the cells were stained with 0.4% trypan blue,and electransfection efficiency and the cell survival rate were counted. Results Electransfection efficiency was increased to the highest value,up to about 49.7% when imDCs with the concentration of 5?10~6 cells/ml were mixed with 40?g-total RNA of human hepatocarcinoma cell,the electric voltage of electroporation apparatus was set at 300V,and the time of impulse was 500Us.Conclusion Electric transfection provides a technical possibility to make human hepatocarcinoma RNA into imDCs.The major influential factors of the electransfection efficiency were electric voltage and impulsing time.As receptor cells,the imDCs growing condition was also an important influential factor.

Objective:To probe the effect of noise on the capabilities of learning and memory of growing rat and its possible mechanism.Methods:24 Wistar growing rats were divided randomly into two groups,noise group and control group.The growing rats in the noise group were exposed to 90dB(A) noise constantly for one month.The capabilities of learning and memory of growing rats were measured by means of Morris water maze test.An immunohistochemical method was used to observe the expression of aminobuty-ric acid(GABA) positive neurons in hippocampus.Results:The test of Morris water maze showed that the mean escape latency of growing rats in the noise group were longer than that in the control group and the frequency to bestride platform were less.The number of GABA positive neurons and the magnitude of tinction in hippocampus of growing rats in the noise group were reduced markedly than that in the control group.Conclusion:The noise does impair the capabilities of learning and memory of growing rats.The impairment may be related with the reduction of GABA contents in hippocampus,which could decrease the depressive effect of neuronic synapse and impair the induction and maintenance of the long term potentiation.

Periodontal ligament stem cells(PDLSCs) are not only the crucial type of cells in maintaining dynamic homeostasis and wound repair of periodontal tissues but also the basis for novel therapeutic strategy for periodontal regeneration.Although possessing the excellent proliferation and differentiation ability,PDLSCs behave differently under various conditions representative of several influential factors.Understanding of these influential factors will help us to exploit more about PDLSCs,and more importantly,lead a new modality in treating periodontal diseases based on stem cells.Here we review multiple important factors affecting function of PDLSCs and propose its use in future regenerative therapy of periodontal defects.

0.5). Conclusion To some extent, the cup sign and split sign on CT reflect the biologic character of AMLs, and the signs are helpful in making the specific diagnosis of AML combined with other imaging manifestations.

Objective The effect of the pesticides on sister-chromatid exchange and micronuclei frequency of garlic root tip cells was researched. Methods The garlic root tips were treated with 13.65 mg/L phoxim, 25 mg/L lambda-cyhalothrin respectrely.With the positive and negative control, the garlic root tips were treated with 2%CP and distilled water respectively. Sister-chromatid exchange(SCE) and micronucle(iMCN)frequencies were calculated. Results As for the SCE frequency,lambda-cyhalothrin was the same as the negative control, metaldehyde and phoxim were more than the negative control (P

AIM:To study effects of resveratrol on osteoprotegerin(OPG)and receptor activator of NF-?B ligand(RANKL)expression in femur of ovariectomized rats.METHODS:48 female SD rats(3 months old)were assigned into 6 groups randomly:sham-operated group(SHAM);ovariectomized group(OVX);17?-estradiol replacement therapy group(ERT,0.1 mg?kg-1?d-1,sc);high-dose resveratrol-treate group(RH,40 mg?kg-1?d-1,i.p.);middle-dose resveratrol-treated group(RM,20 mg?kg-1?d-1,i.p.);low-dose resveratrol-treated group(RL,10 mg?kg-1?d-1,i.p.).Except for SHAM group,rats in other groups were operated by bilateral ovariectomy.Administration started at the 8th day after operation and lasted 8 weeks.At the end of the 9th week after operation,all rats were sacrificed.The bone mineral density(BMD)and vitodynamics properties(including ELASTIC,M-STRESS,M-LORD and STIFFNESS)of femurs were measured.The expression of OPG and RANKL in femurs of rats were observed by immunohistochemical staining methods.RESULTS:Compared with OVX group,resveratrol treatment(40 mg?kg-1?d-1 and 20 mg?kg-1?d-1)increased expression of OPG in femurs while decreased expression of RANKL in ovariectmized rats.In RH,RM,and ERT group,BMD,ELASTIC,M-STRESS of femurs were higher than those of OVX group.CONCLUSION:Resveratrol increased expression of OPG in femur while decreased expression of RANKL in ovariectmized rats,which was probably one of mechanism that resveratrol improve osteoporosis.

Objective: A method for the determination of gallic acid in the extract of Quercus salece- na Blume (Fagaceae) and its preparation (Urocalum Capsules) by means of RP-HPLC was established. Method: The hydrolysable tannins contained in the sample is hydrolyzed with hy- drochloric acid, the hydrolysis component-gallic acid is determined by HPLC using RP-C18 column, 0.005mol.
