BACKGROUND:Most bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s are infused intravenously and have very low efficiency of homing to the bone marrow. However, cel infusion via the femoral approach is little reported. OBJECTIVE:To explore the distribution of luciferase gene modified red fluorescent protein transgenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in vivo through different infusion routes. METHODS:Luciferase gene modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s at different gradients (5×106, 1×106, 1×105, 1×104) were seeded or injected into the in vitro pore plate or free femurs to observe the fluorescence imaging and select the best concentration of cel s. Luciferase gene modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s at the best cel concentration were injected into the mice via the femur and the tail vein, respectively. The distribution of fluorescence and cel number in the mice were explored by using bioluminescence, pathological examination, flow cytometry and quantitative PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Ex vivo fluorescence intensity of luciferase gene modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s was positively correlated with the cel concentration;fluorescent cel s in vivo appeared in the femur first and then quickly spread to the lungs in the femur group, while fluorescent cel s in the tail vein group spread to the lungs quickly after cel infusion. Fluorescent cel s could be seen in the spleen, liver and other organs 24 hours later in the two groups. The distribution and migration of cel s in mice could be observed successful y by bioluminescence;5 minutes after cel infusion, the lungs of mice in the two groups began to emit fluorescence that could spread to the liver, spleen and other tissues 24 hours later, and the fluorescence intensity reached its peak after 15 minutes. The distribution of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in mice had no significant difference between the femur group and the tail vein group. To conclude, cel injection through the bone marrow cavity and tail vein fails to promote the homing of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s to the bone marrow.

ObjectiveTo compare liver pathology changes of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and intrahepatic portal hypertension (IPH) after portosystemic shunt surgery. MethodsFrom January 2010 to December 2011,liverbiopsy was taken during shunt surgery (9 BCS patients,4 IPH patients),and 6-9 months after surgery on follow-up.Collagen type Ⅳ ( Col Ⅳ ),procollagen m (PC Ⅲ ),matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-1),tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1) were tested using SABC (immuonohistochemistry) method,and HE staining to observe the morphology of liver tissue.Free portal vein pressure before and after shunt was measured. ResultsIn BCS group,Col Ⅳ,PC 1Ⅲ and TIMP-1expression downregulated after surgery (127 ±15) vs.(137 ±16),t =4.896,P-0.013; (115.2 ± 10.6) vs.(127.3±9.5),t=4.877,P=0.003; (119.2±11.3) vs.(131.2±l9.6),t=2.841,P=0.023.MMP-1expression did not change ( P > 0.05 ),while MMP-1/TIMP-1was not significantly correlated with liver fibrosis (0.95 ±0.16) vs.(0.98 ±0.15),t =-0.710,P =0.504.In IPH group,the expression of Col Ⅳ,PCⅢ,MMP-1,and MMP-1/TIMP-1did not change significantly after surgery (P >0.05).Compared with that in IPH group the expression of PC Ⅲ,Col Ⅳ and TIMP-1downregulated significantly in BCSgroup (127±15) vs.(150 ±12),U=3.000,P=0.038; (115.2 ±10.6) vs.(128.1±2.8),U=2.000,P=0.023; (119.2 ± 11.3) vs.(131.4 ±2.5),U=3.000,P =0.038.By HE staining in BCS group there was significant intrahepatic congestion which alleviated after surgery.While in PHT group liver pathology did not change significantly after surgery.FPP in BCS and IPH patients significantly decreased after shunt surgery (25 ±8) vs.(41±8) cmH20,t=17.816,P=0.000;(31±8) vs.(45 ±9) cmH20,t =5.745,P =0.010 ). Drop of FPP of BCS group plays a key role in reversal of liver fibrosis.ConclusionsIn BCS group liver pathology improved after shunt surgery probably by removing the intrahepatic obstruction,but in IPH group liver pathology remained unchanged after shunt.

Objective To detect the ZAP-70 and CD38 expression in these patients with chronic B lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and explore their relationship and clinical significance. Methods The expressions of ZAP-70 and CD38 in bone marrow or peripheral blood of 21 patients with B-CLL were detected by flow cytometry. Results ZAP-70 was positively expressed in 9 of all patients, CD38 was positive in 8 of all patients. ZAP-70 and CD38 were both expressed in 8 patients, ZAP-70 and CD38 were none expressed in 8 patients. Conclusion CD38 and ZAP-70 expression can offer important prognostic information. Cases of B-CLL positive for ZAP-70 and CD38 indicate a worse prognosis. There is a good correlation between these new prognostic factors.

Objective To build the relationship model of childhood aubuse, personality, insecurity and dissociative trait in medical students. Methods Through stratified sampling,262 medical students were investiga?ted by the Personal Report of Childhood Abuse( PRCA) ,Dissociative Trait Scale( DTS) ,Self?Rating Feeling of In?security Scale( SRFIS) ,Revised NEO Five?Factor Inventory( NEO?FFI?R) . A path analysis was applied by AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) version 7.0. Results ①Childhood abuse was positively related to insecurity, dissociative trait and neuroticism( r=0.248~0.361, P<0.01) ,but was passively related to extraversion,agreeable?ness and conscientiousness( r=-0.168~-0.250, P<0.01). Insecurity was positively related to dissociative trait and neuroticism( r=0.479~0.522, P<0.01) ,but was passively related to extraversion,agreeableness and conscien?tiousness( r=-0.234~-0.324, P<0.01). Dissociative trait was positively related to neuroticism( r=0.597, P<0.01) ,but was passively related to openness, extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness ( r=-0. 133~-0.453, P<0.05). ②The path analysis showed that childhood abuse was directly related to insecurity(B=0.339, P<0.01)and personality(B=-0.226, P<0.01)of medical students. Personality was directly related to insecurity and dissociative( B=-0.609~-0.363, P<0.01) . Insecurity was directly related to dissociative trait( B=0.448, P<0.01) . Personality and insecurity mediated entirely the relationship between childhood abuse and dissociative trait of medical students. The model fit indexes were χ2/ df =1.151<3.000, P=O.080>0.05,RMSEA=0.024<0.050, GFI=0.935,AGFI=0.909,NFI=0.923,RFI=0.902,IFI=0.989,TLI=0.986 and CFI=0.989. Conclusion Per?sonality and insecurity as mediated variable mediate the relationship between childhood abuse and dissociative trait of medical students. Childhood abuse has no direct effect on dissociative trait of medical students.
