Objective To explore and analyze the effects of different batches of fetal bovine serum(FBS) on the quality evaluation of human mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs) products and provide reference for the development and quality control of hMSCs products.Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on the immune-regulatory function data of standard cell line CCRC-hMSC-S1 cultured in medium supplemented with FBS from different batches, based on the quality review data of hMSCs products. The standard cell line CCRC-hMSC-S1 was co-cultured with allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) from 5-6 donors respectively, and five different batches of FBS(FBS-H, FBS-A, FBS-E1, FBS-E2 and FBS-E3)were added to the co-culture system to clarify the direct effects of different batches of FBS on the detection value of immuneregulatory function by CCRC-hMSC-S1. The hMSCs from eight different individuals were cultured respectively in five medium containing different batches of FBS for two weeks, and the immune-regulatory function and osteogenic differentiation capacity were evaluated to clarify the effects of long-term culture of different batches of FBS on the key quality attributes of hMSCs.Results In the co-culture system of hMSCs and PBMC, the detection value of regulatory T-cell(Treg) promotion rate in FBS-H culture system was significantly lower than that in FBS-A, FBS-E1, FBS-E2 and FBS-E3 culture systems(t = 3. 2,3. 0, 3. 2 and 2. 9, respectively, each P < 0. 05), and the detection value of T lymphocyte proliferation inhibition rate in FBSH culture system was significantly higher than that in FBS-A, FBS-E1, FBS-E2 and FBS-E3 culture systems(t = 3. 7, 3. 4,2. 8 and 3. 0, respectively, each P < 0. 05); the inhibitory ability of hMSCs long-term cultured in FBS-A on Th1 proliferation was significantly lower than that of hMSCs long-term cultured in FBS-H, FBS-E1, FBS-E2 and FBS-E3(t = 3. 0, 2. 4, 3. 7and 3. 3, respectively, each P < 0. 05); the suppressive effect of hMSCs long-term cultured in FBS-H on T lymphocyte proliferation was significantly higher than that of hMSCs long-term cultured in FBS-A, FBS-E1, FBS-E2 and FBS-E3(t = 4. 7,2. 6, 3. 4 and 3. 9, respectively, each P < 0. 05); the alizarin red S staining area of hMSCs long-term cultured in FBS-E3 after osteogenic differentiation was significantly lower than that of hMSCs long-term cultured in FBS-A, FBS-H and FBS-E1(t =4. 1, 5. 5 and 3. 9, respectively, each P < 0. 01).Conclusion In the research and development of hMSCs cell therapy products, it is necessary to pay close attention to the effects of FBS components on the quality evaluation of hMSCs, especially the immune-regulatory function and differentiation potential, and select suitable batches of FBS for the development and quality control of hMSCs products.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, research on tendinopathy is becoming a hot topic in the sports medicine and rehabilitation, and the extracelular matrix plays a considerable role in the occurrence, development and healing of tendinopathy.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between tendinopathy and the extracelular matrix.
METHODS: CNKI, VIP, CBM, Wanfang, PubMed and Embase were retrieved for articles related to colagen, protein, glycoprotein and matrix remodeling published since 2000.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After tendinopathy, there are obvious changes in colagen, proteoglycans, glycoprotein and related enzymes; and these changes also affect the reconstruction and repair of tendinopathy. Currently, most of researches focus on the tendon rather than the bone-tendon junction. This means that there are no in-depth studies on the correlation between many important proteins and tendinopathy, and the effects of exercise intervention.

T was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP)in all the patients.Results The occurrence of CR in this population was 23.3%(70/300).There was CYP3A4 894C/T polymorphism in the study population.The frequencies of the three kinds of genotypes(CC,CT,TT)in CR group and non-CR(NCR)group were 45.7%,50.0%,4.3% and 63.5%,31.7%,4.8%,respectively.The frequency of TT genotype was significantly higher in NCR group than that in CR group(OR=2.06,95% CI:1.201-3.547,P=0.020).C allele carriers were more likely to develop clopidogrel resistance compared with that of T allele carriers(OR=1.59,95% CI:1.037-2.442,P=0.023).Conclusion CYP3A4 gene 894C/T polymorphism is associated with the risk of CR,and C allele carriers may be a possible genetic susceptibility factor for patients with CR.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of echocardiography combined with genetic testing in the fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma. Methods Thirty-three fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma cases diagnosed by fetal echocardiogram in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from Jan. 2011 to Oct. 2015 were enrolled in a retrospective analysis. The results of other examination and pregnancy outcomes of them were followed up, the genetic characteristics of cardiac rhabdomyoma were summarized on the basis of pathology and genetics examination results. Results The pregnancy outcomes:24 cases were terminated pregnancy, 4 cases were born and 5 cases were lost. The results of ultrasound, pathology and genetic examination were detailed in 8 cases. Pathological examination: the typical characteristics of cardiac rhabdomyoma were found in the 8 cases with cardiac rhabdomyoma. The tumor tissue was composed of irregular and swelling shape of cardiomyocytes, and the cytoplasm was vacuole like, which was characteristic of“spider like cells”through microscopic observation. The geneticdetection results: 7 cases had tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) gene mutation, TSC gene abnormalities were not detected in 1 case. Among the 7 cases with TSC gene mutations, 6 cases were with TSC2 gene mutation and the other 1 case was with TSC1 gene mutation. The family gene was investigated in the 5 cases, which including 3 cases of TSC gene mutation in mother passed on to the fetus (1 case with family of three generations of genetic) and 2 cases of spontaneous TSC gene mutation in the fetus. Conclusions Prenatal echocardiography combined with genetic detection have important clinical significance, which not only can clear if cardiac rhabdomyomas were associated with TSC, but also can clear the TSC gene mutation source. So as to further guide the perinatal management.

Objective To evaluate the effect of delayed preconditioning with morphine on ischemic cerebral injury in mice and the role of classical protein kinase C (cPKC).Methods Forty male BALB/C mice,weighing 20-22 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =10 each):sham operation group (group S),ischemic cerebral injury group (group ICI),morphine preconditioning group (group MP) and cPKC inhibitor Go6983 group (group G).Ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).In S group,the middle cerebralartery was only exposed but not occluded.In MP group,morphine 10 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally 24 h before MCAO.In G group,morphine 10 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally 24 h before MCAO and 5 μl Go6983 (6nmol) was injected into the left lateral cerebral ventricle immediately before MCAO.The neurologic deficit was evaluated and scored according to neurological disability status scale in a blind nanner 6 h after MCAO.The animals were sacrificed and brains were immediately removed for measurement of the brain edema and infarct volume.Apoptotic rate was calculated.Results Compared with S group,the neurologic deficit scores,infarct volume,brain edema and apoptotic rate were significantly increased in ICI,MP and G groups (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with group ICI,the neurologic deficit scores,infarct volume,brain edema and apoptotic rate were significantly decreased in group MP (P ＜ 0.01),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group G (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Delayed preconditioning with morphine can reduce ischemic cerebral injury in mice and activation of classical cPKC signaling pathway is involved in the mechanism.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of osteonecrosis of the knee (ONK) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted to identify patients of SLE with ONK.The clinical characteristics of these patients were analyzed.Results Between 2008 and 2013,eighty-one patients with SLE were analyzed in the 210th Hospital of People's Liberation Army.Eleven of these patients were diagnosed as ONK.All of these ONK patients were female.The age of onset ranged from 19-57 (36±13) years.The disease duration ranged from 4.5-31.0 (13±6) years.The local clinical symptom included knee swelling with pain in 5 cases,only pain with no swelling in 1 patient,no symptoms in 5 patients.All patients were with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head.For laboratory examination,7 patients had elevated triglyceride lipids in blood.Three of 7 patients accompanied with cholesterol level increased.Total cumulative dosage of oral corticosteroids was (66 824±27 328) mg.Conclusion ONK in patients of SLE is common and the majority of them have impaired renal function and elevated blood lipids,as well as long-term glucocortico-steroid therapy.

Objective To investigate the expressions of CD133 and CD44 and their prognostic significance in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).Methods Streptavidin perosidase (SP) method of immunohistochemistry was used to detect expressions of CD133 and CD44 proteins in 42 cases of GIST, and the relationship between their expressions and tumor size, mitotic count were analyzed by univariate and multivariate factor analyses.Results The expressions of CD133 and CD44 proteins in GIST were 21.4％ (9/42) and 78.6％ (33/42), respectively.The expressions of CD133 and CD44 proteins were significantly correlated with tumor size and mitotic count (P ＜ 0.05).Univariate factor analysis showed that the overall survival of GIST patients with positive CD133 protein (23.2 months) was shorter than that of patients with negative CD133 protein(63.1 months) (P ＜ 0.05).The overall survival of GIST patients with negative CD44 protein (23.2 months) was shorter than that of patients with positive CD44 protein (63.3 months) (P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate factor analysis showed that tumor size, mitotic count and CD44 protein were independent prognostic indicators for survival time after operation.Conclusions The positive expressions of CD133 and CD44 proteins might be the prognostic factors of GIST patients.
