Objective To investigate the effects of serum cobalt ion concentration on the liver, kidney and heart in mice. Methods Forty 4-week-old male ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups saline were given by intraperitoneal injection once per day for 3 weeks. The body weights of the mice were recorded every 3 days to ensure the correct doses of cobalt chloride. Blood samples for testing were taken at day 4, week 1, week 2 and week 3. Serum cobalt ion concentrations were measured in all samples whereas other serum biochemical variables, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase(ALT),blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), and creatine kinase (CK) were evaluated at week 1, 2 and 3. After killing the mice at week 3, the heart, liver and kidney were collected for pathological evaluation. Results Serum cobalt ion concentration was different between the groups. High-dose cobalt chloride significantly increased AST, ALT and CK concentrations, the concentrations increasing in parallel with treatment duration.Pathological evaluation showed that high-dose cobalt chloride had toxic effects on the heart and liver, however no significant effect was apparent in the kidney. Conclusion High-dose cobalt ion concentration in serum has toxic effects on the heart and liver, but no significant effect on the kidney in mice.

BACKGROUND:Studies have found that Wudi Dan can suppress local inflammatory response of the lesioned joints to protect the articular cartilage. OBJECTIVE:To verify the effect of Wudi Dan on chondrocyte viability and apoptosis as wel as the therapeutic effect on osteoarthritis. METHODS:Rat chondrocytes were cultured in serum medium containing Wudi Dan, and the effects of Wudi Dan on cel viability and apoptosis were observed by comparison with the control group. Rabbit model of knee osteoarthritis was constructed using modified Hulth method. Rabbit models were divided into two groups:Wudi Dan group treated with Wudi Dan and control group treated with normal saline, twice a day, consecutively for 4 weeks. Therapeutic effect of Wudi Dan on knee osteoarthritis was observed;cel viability and apoptosis were observed under microscope;the levels of interleukin-1 and matrix metal oproteinase-3 were determined using immunohistochemical method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The apoptotic rate of chondrocytes was significantly lower in the Wudi Dan group than the control group. Pathological findings of the rabbit knee joints showed that the control group had more severe damage to the articular cartilage than the Wudi Dan group. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that in the Wudi Dan group, the cytoplasm and extracel ular matrix were colored light and there were a smal number of positive cel s as wel as low expression of interleukin-1 and matrix metal oproteinase-3. The results suggest that Wudi Dan can effectively protect against articular cartilage lesions, reduce inflammation, and have a good therapeutic effect on osteoarthritis. Its mechanism may be related to inhibition of chondrocyte apoptosis, reduction of cytokine production and inhibition of protein expression of matrix metal oproteinase.

BACKGROUND:Chitosan biological materials can induce bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate toward neurons. As a derivative of chitosan, carboxymethyl chitosan has a series of excelent properties. However, whether carboxymethyl chitosan can induce the neuronal differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells remains unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of carboxymethyl chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neurons and the possible mechanism.METHODS:Passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from rats were selected and cultured in carboxymethyl chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel extracts in different concentrations (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 500 g/L). Control cells were cultured in culture medium with no addition of carboxymethyl chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel extracts. MTT assay was performed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of carboxymethyl chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel extracts on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. Western blot assay was used to explore the effect of 150 g/L carboxymethyl chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel extracts on the expression of neuron-specific enolase, Nestin, Vimentin, NF-M, microtubule associated protein 2, glial fibrillary acidic protein, β3-tubulin, Notch1 and Jag1 protein.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:MTT assay showed that carboxymethyl chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel promoted the cell proliferation, and the proliferation rate reached the peak at the concentration of 150 g/L. Western blot assay showed that the cells induced by 150 g/L carboxymethyl chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel extract had significant increases in neuron-specific enolase, Nestin, Vimentin, NF-M, microtubule associated protein 2, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and β3-tubulin protein expression, and obvious decreases in Notch1 and Jag1 protein expression in comparison with the control group. These results indicate that the carboxymethyl chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel induces rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate toward neurons, and suppresses the activity of Notch signal pathway in the process of differentiation.

Objective To explore the toxicity and biological activity of cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) on osteoclasts,and to analyze the relationship between cobalt nanoparticles and osteolysis.Methods From November 2014 to July 2015,RAW264.7 cell was induced to osteoclast-like cell by LPS.Different concentrations of cobalt nanoparticles and cobalt chloride were added,and the cell morphology was observed under a microscope.24 h after induction on RAW264.7,cells were grouped into cobalt nanoparticles group (10,20,50,100 μmol/L),cobalt chloride group (10,20,50,100 mol/L) and control group.MTT assessment and Q-PCR were performed at 2 h,4 h,8 h,24 h,48 h post-treatment.Results With the increase of concentration (10,20,50,100 μmol/L) and the action time (2 h,4 h,8 h,24 h,48 h),the inhibition rate of cobalt nanoparticles and cobalt chloride on osteoclast like cells was significantly increased,and the inhibition rate of cobalt nanoparticles was higher.With different concentrations (10,20,50,100 μmol/L) of CoNPs and cobalt chloride,the relative expression of CAⅡ,Cat K gene mRNA expression decreased compared with the control group,when the concentration of CoNPs was in the range of 10-50 μ mol/L,the relative expression of CAⅡ and Cat K was increased,which was reduced in cobalt chloride group.Conclusion Different concentrations of cobalt nanoparticles and cobalt chloride can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts,and cobalt nanoparticles is more pronounced,when the concentration of cobalt nanoparticles was 10-50 μmol/L,the relative expression of osteoclasts CAⅡ,Cat K increaseed,which was suppressed at the same concentration of cobalt chloride.
