Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1994;0(06):-
Objective To evaluate the influence of epidural block on blood coagulation and rhedogy in patients undergoing esophagectomy or lobectomy. Methods Twenty-two ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients (14 male, 8 female) aged 40-65 yr undergoing esophagectomy or lobectomy were randomized to receive either combined general-epidural anesthesia (GEA group , n = 11) or general anesthesia (GA group, n = 11). The patients were premedicated with intramuscular pethidine 50 mg, promethazine 25 mg and scopolamine 0.3 mg. In GEA group epidural catheter was placed at T9-10 interspace before general anesthesia. A test dose of 4 ml 2% lidocaine was given. When correct positioning of the epidural catheter was confirmed, general anesthesia was induced with propofol 1.5-2.0 mg? kg-1 , fentanyl 2?g?kg-1 and rocuronium 0.6 mg? kg-1 , after placement of double- lumen endobronchial tube the patients were mechanically ventilated (VT 10 ml?kg-1 , RR 12 bpm, I: E = 1:2). Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane inhalation and intermittent i. v. boluses of vecuronium. A mixture of 2 % lidocaine and 0.33% dicaine (1:1) was continuously infused at a rate of 4-6 ml?h-1 during operation. After operation PCEA was commenced with 0.12% ropivacaine and morphine 80 ?g?ml-1 (background infusion 4 ml?h-1 , bolus dose 2 ml, lockout interval 6 min) . In GA group the patients received the same general anesthesia technique. Postoperatively the patients were placed on PCIA with morphine 0.5 mg?ml-1 (background infusion 1 ml?h-1 , bolus dose 2 ml, lockout interval 6 min) Pain intensity was measured using VAS (0-10). Blood samples were taken before induction of anesthesia (T0, baseline), 1 and 3 h after skin incision (T1 , T2 ) and on the morning of 1st and 3rd postoperative day (T3 , T4 ) . Blood samples were tested immediately in a thromboelastograph (TEG) coagulation analyzer. Usual clotting tests (PT, APTT, platelet count, Hb, Hct), fibrinolysis tests (t-PA, PAI-A) and rheology tests were performed at the same time. Results PT and APTT were significantly prolonged during and after operation (T2,T3 ) as compared with the baseline values in both groups (P

BACKGROUND:Platelet lysate has been known as a kind of lysate of autologous or alogeneic platelet-rich products. It not only removes the residual cel structure, reduces immunogenicity, but also retains many growth factors. Platelet lysate has been suggested as a substitute for fetal bovine serum to expand mesenchymal stem cels in vitro. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of platelet lysate on biological characteristics of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels, and provide some experimental data for clinical cel therapy and regenerative medicine. METHODS:Platelet lysate was prepared by repeated freezing and thawing from fresh blood. Healthy adult bone marrow and adipose tissue were colected. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels were obtained by density gradient centrifugation and type I colagenase digestion. We tested the morphology, cel phenotype, differentiation characteristics, proliferation capacity, colony forming ability and the level of cytokine secretion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels after cultured with platelet lysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels were successfuly cultured in vitro using platelet lysate. There were no significant differences in morphology, cel phenotype, colony forming ability and the level of cytokine secretion, and chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic capacities between bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels. Adipose mesenchymal stem cels had a high cumulative population doublings than bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (P < 0.05). These findings suggest adipose mesenchymal stem cels had a stronger proliferative ability, and are more suitable for large-scale expansionin vitro cultivation system of platelet lysate compared with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells have been an important source of seed cells for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and immunosuppressive therapy areas. The large expansion is the key to the clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress in the in vitro expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells in animal serum-free media. METHODS:A computer-based online retrieval of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed to search papers published between 2004 and 2014 using the key words of“mesenchymal (stromal) stem cells, animal serum-free media, humanized media, human serum, umbilical cord blood serum, platelet rich plasma, platelet lysate, defined medium”in English and Chinese, respectively. Final y, 41 articles were retained. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human serum, umbilical cord blood serum, platelet rich plasma, platelet lysate and defined medium can replace fetal bovine serum for large-scale expansion of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. These media or additives have their advantages and disadvantages;therefore, it is urgent to guarantee the functional effectiveness and transplantation safety before large-scale, systematic clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells.

BACKGROUND:Classic media and fetal bovine serum are commonly used in the culture of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, but the potential risk of serum culture limits its clinical application. OBJECTIVE:To use human platelet lysate alternative to fetal bovine serum for large-scale production of mesenchymal stem cells for therapeutic applications. METHODS:Human platelet lysate was prepared by repeated freezing and thawing, centrifugation, filtration, and concentration. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium containing 5%concentrated platelet lysate (experimental group) or 10%fetal bovine serum (control group). After separation and enzymatic digestion, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were subcultured at a concentration of 3 000/cm2 up to the fifth generation. Then, cellmorphology and diameter, immune phenotype, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, and cloning efficiency were detected and compared between two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells cultivated in human platelet lysate-supplemented media showed a smal er size and more elongated morphology than those in fetal bovine serum-supplemented media. Colony forming unit-fibroblast analyses further showed no significant differences in colony efficiency. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells cultivated in human platelet lysate-supplemented media showed an increase of proliferation capacity;whereas, similar immunophenotypes remained in the two groups. In vitro assays revealed intact differentiation potential. Moreover, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells cultivated in human platelet lysate-supplemented media showed a significantly higher capacity to differentiate towards osteocytes, indicating human platelet lysate is an alternative to fetal bovine serum for low-density production of mesenchymal stem cells for therapeutic applications.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of nestin in renal tubular epithelial cells in hypercholesterolemic rats. Methods Dietary-induced hyperlipidemia were induced in female SD rats by given 4% cholesterol and 1% cholic acid diet for 16 weeks. Changes of serum lipid, urinary albumin, serum creatinine and renal interstitial pathological changes were assessed. The expression of nestin and a-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) were detected by immunohistochemical stain. Results The serum levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, urinary albumin and serum creatinine were significantly increased in hyperlipidemia group, accompanied with renal interstitial injury and fibrosis. As time extended, the expression of nestin and a-SMA in renal tubular epithelial cells were increased significantly. There was positive correlation among the expression of nestin and total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, urinary albumin and serum creatinine( r =0.963,0.830,0.944,0.706, P <0.01). Nestin also had a positive correlation with tubular-interstitial index ( r = 0. 974, P < 0. 01) and α-SMA ( r = 0. 804, P < 0. 01). Conclusion The increased expression of nestin may be associated with renal tubular-interstitial fibrosis and tubular epithelial myofibroblast transdifferentiation in hypercholesterolemic rats.
