Objective To investigate the number and activity changes of endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs) in hemodialysis patients,and explore its correlation with the risk factors of coronary heart disease.Methords Total mononuclear ceils(MNCs) were isolated from peripheral blood of patients with chronic renal failure in long-term hemodialysis and from a normal control group by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and then were plated on humanfibronectin-coated dishes.Mter 7 days of culture,EPCs were characterized as adherent cells by double staining with FITC-UEA-I and DI-LDL,and were further identified by the expression of CD34,CD133 and KDR with flow cytometry.EPCs migration was determined with modified Boyden chamber assay.EPCs adhesive assay was performed by replanting EPCs on humanfibronectin-coated plates and then counting the adherent cells.The relationship of the EPCs' number and activity with Framingham Risk Score of ten years was also be assessed.Results Number of EPCs and the migratory & adhesive capacity were significantly lower in patients than in the control(P

Objective:To explore the feasibility of mesencephalon progenitor cells as dopamine neuron's graft in treatment of Parkinson disease(PD) in rats. Methods: Animal model of PD were established in SD rats by 6 hydroxydopamine. Mesencephalon progenitor cells were obtained from 13 day old fetal rats. After in vitro proliferation and differentiation, the cells were planted into PD rat striatum. Results: Progenitor cells were expanded in an undifferentiated state with endothelia growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor as mitogens. IL 1 and striatal culture media further increased the number of TH immunoreactive cells. Transplantation of these neurons relieved the rotation symptom of PD rats. Conclusion: Transplantation of mesencephalon progenitor cells has certain effects on PD rats.

Objective To investigate the correlations between the ocular biometric optical parame-ters and refractive dioptres in adults, assess the influence of the biometric optical parameters on the develop-ment of myopia, and provide a reference of prevention and treatment for myopia.Methods A total of 188 adults (376 eyes) aged 18 to 40 years old was enrolled in this study.Dioptres were measured with phorop-ter, A-mode ultrasound was used to measure the vitreous length and lens thickness, the axis length, anterior corneal surface semidiameter anterior chamber depth were measured with intraocular len-master ( IOL-mas-ter) .SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze the date.Results ⑴Of the 376 eyes, the results showed a statistically significant difference between myopia and emetropia in the axis length, vitreous depth, anterior corneal surface semidiameter, anterior chamber depth and lens thickness( P <0.01).⑵The partial corre-lation analysis indicated a significant positive correlation between the refraction dioptres and axial length, vitreous length ( r =-0.90, -0.88, respectively, P <0.01);and significant strong correlation was also found between dioptres and anterior corneal surface horizontal and vertical semidiameter ( r =0.81, 0.84, respectively, P <0.01);But correlations between dioptres and lens thickness and anterior chamber depth were very weak ( r =-0.11, 0.12, respectively, P <0.01);the correlation between axial length and vit-reous depth was very high ( r =0.95, P <0.01).and the data indicated that the anterior corneal surface horizontal and vertical semidiameter were high positive correlation( r =0.91, P <0.01);the same high positive correlation between the axial length and the anterior corneal surface semidiameter ( horizontal/verti-cal) was also found ( r =0.78,0.81, P <0.01).Conclusions Two chief factors (corneal surface semi-diameter and ocular axial length) influencing the level of dioptres were high positive correlation, seeking the mutual coordination factors which promote corneal curvature change and axial growth and finding out the feedback mechanism of promoting the cornea sphericity might be conducive to further explore how to control the occurrence and development of myopia.

Objective To investigate the relationship between early progression in elderly patients with minor stroke and abnormal circadian rhythm of blood pressure.Methods From June 2013 to December 2016,180 patients with mild stroke (age >65 years,the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Score ≤3) at the Department of Neurology,Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital were recruited retrospectively.They were divided into either a progress group (n=48;the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score increased≥2) or a non-progress group (n=132) according to whether they developed an early neurological deterioration (within 5 days after onset).The baseline data,risk factors for cerebrovascular disease (hypertension,diabetes mellitus,stroke,chronic smoking,alcohol consumption,hyperlipidemia,and homocysteine) in patients of both groups were compared.The normal (dipper-type blood pressure)/abnormal circadian rhythm of blood pressure (non-dipper-type blood pressure,super dipper-type blood pressure,and inverse dipper-type blood pressure) were monitored by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.The guilty arteries were divided into severe stenosis or occlusion,non-severe stenosis or without stenosis.Multivariate logistic regression analysis and multi-class dummy variable analysis were further performed.Results The proportions of past diabetes history,stroke history,abnormal circadian rhythm of blood pressure,severe stenosis and occlusion of guilty artery in the patients of the progress group were higher than those of the non-progress group (70.8% [n=34] vs.49.2% [n=65],64.6% [n=31] vs.47.7% [n=63],89.6% [n=43] vs.26.5% [n=35],and 77.1% [n=37] vs.39.4% [n=52] respectively).The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).The factors of having statistical differences were substituted into multivariate logistic regression analysis,which showed that abnormal circadian rhythm of blood pressure (OR,7.072,95%CI 3.004-16.431;P<0.01) and severe stenosis or occlusion of guilty arteries (OR,6.217,95%CI 2.034-14.212,P=0.003) were the independent risk factors for early progression of minor stroke in the elderly.The dummy variable analysis of abnormal circadian rhythm of blood pressure showed that the super dipper-type blood pressure (OR,13.429,95%CI 4.175-111.668;P<0.01) in abnormal circadian rhythm of blood pressure was an independent risk factor for early progression of minor stroke in the elderly.Conclusion The abnormal circadian rhythm of blood pressure,especially super dipper-type blood pressure,may be the independent risk factor for early progression of minor stroke in the elderly,which needs to pay close attention to early intervention.

This paper is aimed to investigate the effect of rest-inserted loading on the mechanosensitivity of osteocytes. In the investigation, cultured MLO-Y4 osteocyte-like cells were strained on cyclic compressive force (CCF) by the self-made compressive loading device. Then we observed the effect of different rest periods-inserted loading (5 s, 15 s, 30 s, respectively) on the mechanosensitivity of osteocytes. We then determined the levels of secreted nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by Griess method and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. We then stained the cytoskeleton F-actin using immunofluorescence. We found that the expressions of NO and PGE2 in rest-inserted strained groups (> 15 s) were significantly increased compared to those in the continuous strained group. And rest-inserted loading promoted the parallel alignment of stress fibers. It indicates that rest-inserted loading could promote the mechanosensitivity of osteocytes, and this might be related to the parallel alignment of stress fibers.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expression of p-p38 MAPK protein and the number of astrocytes expressing p-p38 MAPK in CA1 hippocampus in rats during the induction of brain ischemic tolerance induced by intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IH) preconditioning.

METHODSThirty healthy adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 5 in each group): sham 0 min group, IH + sham 0 min group, sham 7 d group, IH + sham 7 d group, Ischemia (Is) 7 d group, and IH + Is 7 d group. Neuropathological evaluation was performed by thionine staining in CA1 hippocampus in rats. The expression of p-p38 MAPK in CA1 hippocampus was observed by immunohistochemical staining. And the number of astrocytes expressing p-p38 MAPK was observed by immunofluorescent double labeling.

RESULTSThe results showed that IH preconditioning induced brain ischemic tolerance successfully. At the same time, IH preconditioning obviously up-regulated the expression of p-p38 MAPK protein in CA1 hippocampus, and also increased the number of astrocytes expressing p-p38 MAPK.

CONCLUSIONIt might be concluded that IH preconditioning induced brain ischemic tolerance by up-regulating the expression of p-p38 MAPK protein in pyramidal neurones and astrocytes.
