[Objective]To observe the growth pattern of oligodendrocyte precursor cells(OPCs) in the primary culture from neonatal rat cerebral cortices and study the methods of cell culture and isolation in order to obtain purified OPCs for the experiments of cell transplantation.[Method]The mixed glial cells from the cerebral cortices of 48-hour-old Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were cultured in vitro.Until 9-10 days in vitro OPCs were isolated and purified by the shaking process and differential adhesion,and then continued OPCs culture in the defined medium.The growth pattern of OPCs in vitro was investigated by contrast phase microscopy and OPC s were further identified with the immunocytochemical techniques.[Result]The distinct stratification of OPCs and astrocytes developed around 9-10 days in primary culture.At this point,the OPCs scattered on the top of the monolayer astroctyes and the soma of most OPCs typically appeared oval or round with two or three processes.The purity of the isolated OPCs reached 95% and these OPCs further developed into the mature oligdendrocytes which were immunoreactive to the specific antigen of oligodendrocyte lineage cells,Oligo2.[Conclusion]OPCs separated from the cerebral cortices of neonatal SD rats can be maintained as immature precursor cells in culture,and OPCs are able to be purified by shaking and differential adhesion under the condition of appropriate cell stratification.

Objective To investigate the change of immunologic function of red blood cell (RBC) in patients with chronic gastritis. Methods The immunologic function of RBC in 88 cases of chronic gastritis was dynamically detected with yeast rosette method. Results The results showed that RBC-C3b receptor rosette (RBC-C3b-RR) rate and RBC immune adherence enhance factor (RFER) rate were significantly lower (P＜0.05) and RBC immune complex rosette (RBC-ICR) rate and RBC immune adherence inhibitor factor (RFIR) were significantly higher (P＜0.05) in the patients with atrophic gastritis than those in control group. In the patients with superficial gastritis, the difference had no distinct significance (P＞0.05). Conclusion The immunologic function of red blood cell (RBC)measurement plays an important role in differential diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of chronic gastritis.

Objective To investigate the effects of transplantation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) on axonal myelination after spinal cord injury in a rat model. Methods A rat model of spinal cord injury at the tenth thoracic vertebral level (T10) was produced by Allen weight-drop impact method. OPCs implantation was performed at the subacute stage of spinal cord injury. Effects of OPCs transplantation on axonal myelination after spinal cord injury were evaluated by HE staining, immunohistochemistry, myelin staining and transmission electron microscopy. Results The implanted cells were still observed in lesioned segments of spinal cord eight weeks after transplantation. The results of HE staining clearly showed better structure of spinal cord in OPCs-transplanted group than that of control group.Myelin staining also demonstrated that the amount of myelin in white matter of lesioned cord in the OPCs-transplanted group (7 802.42 ± 1085.58) was higher than that of the control group (5 055.98 ± 916.74)(P ＜0.01 ). Expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) was significantly increased in the OPCs-trans-planted group (8 544.44 ±812.78) as compared with that of the control group (5 243.83 ±808.27)(P＜0.01). Moreover, transmission electron microscopy further confirmed the improvement of micro-structure of myelination in OPCs-treated rats. Conclusion OPCs transplantation can improve axonal myelination in rat with spinal cord injury.

ObjectiveTo optimize the condition of multiple fluorescence quantitative PCR and establish a new assay of four human herpes virus (HHV) detected by AllGlo quadruple fluorescence quantitative PCR.MethodsFour HHV including HSV-1,HSV-2,EBV and CMV were identified by sequence analysing the qualitative PCR production.Furthermore,they were quantitatively detected by AllGlo and TaqMan multiple fluorescence quantitative PCR respectively.ResultsBoth the positive rate and specificity of AllGlo and TaqMan in detecting single HHV achieved 100％.And AllGlo single fluorescence quantitative PCR prevailed over TaqMan's by Ct of 1-3.Four HHV can be simultaneously detected by AllGlo quadruple fluorescence quantitative PCR,comparing to the only two by TaqMan.ConclusionAllGlo fluorescence quantitative PCR assay allows a higher throughput,sensitivity and specificity than TaqMan in detection and thus provides a board prospect.

Objective To investigate the expression of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein gene (ALOX5AP) polymorphism in the patients with cerebral infarction,and explore its relationship with cerebral infarction susceptibility.Methods Patients with cerebral infarction and healthy volunteers were selected for this study,whose venous blood was extracted and detected with polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).Haplotype A (SG13S114T,SG13S89G,SG13S32A,SG13S25G),haplotype B (SG13S377A,SG13S114A,SG13S41A,SG13S35G),and their nucleotide polymorphism loci were observed.Results Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-SG13S114,SNP-SG13S32 and HapA carrying rate were significantly different between patients with cerebral infarction and healthy volunteers (P ＜0.05).SNP-SG13S114 and SNP-SG13S32 were independent risk factors of cerebral infarction (OR ＞ 1.0,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The morbidity of cerebral infarction in Wenling City was influenced by SNP-SG13S114,SNP-SG13S32,and HapA carrying rate.

Objective To summarize the clinical characters,diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyoidism (PHPT).Methods The diagnosis,treatment and efficacy of 35 cases of PHPT were retrospectively reviewed.Results PHPT presented a variety of clinical manifestations,and occoured to different age groups without significant gender differences.All the 35 cases had elevated blood calcium and PTH.All patients underwent preoperative ultrasonography and 99Tcm-MIB imaging,and the positive rates were 68.6％ and 97.1％ respectively.34 patients received surgical treatment,among whom 30 cases had parathyroid adenoma,1 case had parathyroid hyperplasia and 3 cases had parathyroid carcinoma.Through operation,31 cases were cured,2 cases improved,and 1 case of parathyroid carcinoma suffered from lung metastasls.Conclusions PHPT can be diagnosed according to co-elevated serum calcium and PTH.Ultrasonography combined with 99Tcm-MIB imaging should be recommend for preoperative localization.The main cause of PHPT is solitary parathyroid adenoma.PTPT can be cured by surgery.Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy with accurate location is an efficient surgical strategy,and the prognosis is favorable.
