Objective To establish the co-culture model in vitro and induce bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into lung alveolar epithelial cells. Methods Each group had 6 samples, control group was MSCs alone; Group A was the MSCs cultured with the cells from normal lung; and Group B was the MSCs with the cells from injuried lung. Each group was cultured for 8 days and the two markers of lung alveolar epithelial cells including AQP5 and SP-C were tested by laser confocal microscopy and RT-PCR. Results Only AQP5 was detected in the control group and Group A, both AQP5 and SP-C were detected in Group B, the AQP5 mRNA expression in Group B was significantly increased compared with that in the control group(P<0.01). The AQP5 mRNA expression in Group B was also significantly increased compared with that in Group A (P<0.01). But there was no significant difference in AQP5 mRNA expression between Group A and control group. Conclusion We have successfully established the co-culture model in vitro to induce bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into lung epithelial cells.

Objective To establish a simple diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) rat model with the high fat-fed in GK rats. Methods A total of 30 GK rats (7-8 weeks) were fed with high-fat diet to establish the DPN model. Thirty normal Wistar rats were fed with ordinary diet (control group). The blood-sugar value, body mass, water-intake and food-intake were monitored every week in two groups. The serum level of glycosylated hemoglobin, the right sciatic nerve conduction velocity were detected at 8, 12 and 16 weeks respectively. The left sciatic nerve was used for HE and TUNEL staining. Results The manifestations of polydipsia, polyphagia and growth retardation were gradually appeared in GK rats. After 12 and 16 weeks, the blood-sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin were significantly increased in GK rats compared with those of normal Wistar rats (P < 0.01). The sensory nerve conduction velocity decreased obviously (P < 0.01). And motor nerve conduction velocity showed a certain decline trend (12 week P < 0.05,16 week P > 0.05). The sciatic nerve pathological features and Schwann cell apoptosis suggested that the model of DPN was successfully established (apoptosis index, P <0.01). Conclusion GK rats fed by high-fat diet are the satisfactory models of the DPN in experimental research. And 12-week is a suitable and economical time for molding.

Objective: To investigate the vascular anatomy of the stomach, especially the right gastroepiploic artery for the reconstruc-tion of a gastric tube during esophagectomy. Methods: The vascular anatomy of the stomach was studiing in 28 embalmed human specimens provided by the Department of Anatomy, Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University, included 10 female and 18 male spec-imens. The length and diameter of gastric vessels were measured. The ratio of the length of the right gastroepiploic artery to the length of the greater curvature was calculated. Anastomosis between the left and right gastroepiploic arteries was also assessed. Re-sults: Twenty-five left gastric arteries were observed in the autopsies, with the mean diameter of 3.40 (2.10-6.40) mm. Twenty-one right gastric arteries were measured, with the mean diameter of 1.97 (0.68-3.56) mm. Twenty-six left gastroepiploic arteries were ob-served, with the mean diameter of 1.87 (0.80-2.96) mm. Twenty-eight right gastroepiploic arteries were measured, with the mean di-ameter of 2.82 (1.58-4.80) mm. The mean lengths of the 28 right gastroepiploic arteries and their greater curvatures were 216.71 (120-318) mm and 356.39 (248-487) mm, respectively. The ratio of the length of right gastroepiploic arteries and greater curvatures was 0.61 (0.45-0.82). The anastomosis between the left and right gastroepiploic arteries was observed in 60.7% (17/28) of the specimens. Conclusions: The length and diameter of gastric vessels were calculated. It was assumed that the right gastroepiploic artery provides an average of 61% of the blood supply for the great curvature. In addition, the anastomotic branch of the right and left gastroepiploic arteries was observed in 60.7% specimens. These anatomical data allow surgeons to estimate the blood supply and to choose an opti-mal method of gastric tube reconstruction during esophagectomy.

BACKGROUND:Laser therapy is a non-invasive and painless treatment that is considered to be an effective method suitable for the treatment of osteoarthritis due to its simplicity and non-invasive nature.Currently,the mechanism of action of laser therapy is unclear and the results of studies on its clinical application are controversial. OBJECTIVE:To review and summarize the latest research progress of laser therapy on chondrocytes,animal experiments and clinical efficacy,and to explore the possible mechanism of laser-mediated multi-pathway biological effects,so as to provide a theoretical basis for further research on the laser treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee joint. METHODS:A literature search was performed in CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP and PubMed databases for relevant literature published from 2018 to 2023,with"laser therapy,low level laser therapy,high level laser therapy,photobiomodulation,knee osteoarthritis,chondrocytes"as the search terms in Chinese and English,respectively.Together with 14 articles searched manually,70 articles were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Laser therapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis is mainly categorized into two types:low-level laser therapy and high-level laser therapy.Differences in laser parameters and treatment protocols have a direct impact on laser efficacy.When appropriate parameters are used,low-level lasers show positive effects in cellular experiments,animal models,and clinical efficacy.High-level lasers have been less studied in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis,but some preliminary clinical studies have shown positive results.Cell experiments have shown that low-level laser promotes chondrocyte proliferation and cartilage matrix synthesis,thereby reducing inflammatory response.Animal experiments have shown that low-level laser can reduce the release of pro-inflammatory factors,promote cartilage matrix synthesis,inhibit matrix degradation,and effectively improve the repair process of cartilage tissue.Low-level laser is also able to reduce oxidative stress damage and relieve pain in knee osteoarthritis.In clinical trials,both low-and high-level laser can reduce patients'pain and improve functional activities.The combination of laser therapy and exercise therapy modalities may improve the therapeutic effect.Lasers may affect intracellular signaling and cellular functions through photobiological or thermodynamic effects.This provides direct evidence that laser promotes articular cartilage regeneration.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Guizhi Fulingwan on oxidative stress and renal fibrosis in diabetic mice based on the nuclear factor E2-associated factor 2/antioxidant response element (Nrf2/ARE) pathway, and to explore its mechanism of action. MethodA diabetic mouse model was established by feeding high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The diabetic mice were divided into a model group, a metformin group (250 mg·kg-1), and Guizhi Fulingwan low, medium, and high dose groups (400.4, 800.8, 1 601.6 mg·kg-1), with 10 mice in each group. Another 10 mice were included in a normal group. The treatment was conducted continuously for 8 weeks. Body mass and blood glucose were recorded, and the renal index was calculated. Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured. Pathological changes in renal tissues were observed using Hematoxylin-eosin, periodate-Schiff, and Masson staining. The protein levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), fibronectin (FN), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) were detected by immunohistochemistry. The protein levels of Nrf2, Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), SOD1, NAD(P)H single-nucleotide oxidase 1 (NQO1), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed elevated glucose, renal index, TG, TC, BUN, and SCr levels, thickened glomerular basement membrane, increased collagen fibers in renal tissues, decreased SOD activity, elevated MDA content, increased protein levels of FN, TGF-β1, α-SMA, and Keap1, and decreased protein levels of Nrf2, SOD1, NQO1, and HO-1 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Guizhi Fulingwan and metformin groups showed reduced blood glucose, renal index, TG, TC, BUN, and SCr levels, improved renal histopathological injury, significantly increased SOD activity, significantly reduced MDA content, reduced protein levels of FN, TGF-β1, α-SMA, and Keap1, and increased protein levels of Nrf2, SOD1, NQO1, and HO-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionGuizhi Fulingwan can improve oxidative stress and inhibit renal fibrosis, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.
