Objective To observe the curative effect of transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transfected with recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene on intracerebral hemorrhage in rats.Methods MSCs were isolated from the rat bone marrow,cultured and transfected by recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying BDNF gene.Intracerebral hemorrhagic models were constructed and randomly divided into 4 groups:phosphate buffered saline transplanted (PBS) group,MSCs group,mesenchymal stem cells transfected with empty lentiviral vectors transplanted (MSCs-EGFP) group and mesenchymal stem cells transfected with recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene transplanted (MSCs-EGFP-BDNF) group.PBS and MSCs were transplanted according to the groups 72 hours after the establishment of models.The improvements of the neurological function were recorded of each group 7 d,14 d,and 21 d after the transplantation.Double labeling immunofluorescent staining were used to detect the migration and the differentiation of transplanted MSCs.Results MSCs-EGFP-BDNF group had significant higher levels of BDNF gene and protein expression than MSCs group and MSCs-EGFP group.All MSCs transplanted groups (MSCs groups:7 d:1.6 ±0.2,14 d:1.2 ±0.3,21 d:0.8 ±0.2; MSCs-EGFP groups:7 d:1.6 ±0.3,14 d:1.1 ±0.2,21 d:0.8 ±0.3; MSCs-EGFP-BDNFgroup:7 d:1.2 ±0.3,14 d:0.6 ±0.1,21 d:0.2±0.2) had more improvements in the neural function (F=6.667,18.417,20.882,all P <0.05) than PBS group(7 d:2.0 ±0.4,14 d:1.7 ±0.2,21 d:1.3 ±0.2),and MSCs-EGFP-BDNF group had the most significant improvement.With double labeling immunofluorescent staining,the MSCs-EGFP-BDNF group had significantly higher positive rates of glial fibrilary acidicprotein,neuron specific nuclear protein,2',3 '-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase than MSCs group and MSCs-EGFP group,while there was no significant differences between the latter two.Conclusions The expression levels of gene and protein are higher for the MSCs modified with recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying BDNF gene.The modified MSCs can migrate to the perihematomal brain issue of intracerebral hemorrhage,express the characteristic molecules of neurons and improve the neural function after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Coronary microcirculation disorder after myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MIR) is a prominent problem in the treatment of coronary heart disease. According to the physiological commonality between “collaterals-sweat pore qi and fluid” and coronary microcirculation, and the evolution of the course of MIR, it is believed that “heart collateral stasis obstruction, sweat pore constraint and block” is the cause of coronary microcirculation disorder. The evolution of the pathogenesis can be divided into three periods. During the myocardial ischemia period, the pathogenesis is heart collaterals obstruction and sweat pores empty, while during the ischemia reperfusion period, it is internal formulation of deficiency wind, spasms of collaterals or slight heart collaterals obstruction; in the coronary microcirculation disorder period, sweat pores constraint and block, constraint transforming into heat, qi and fluid failing to diffuse are the pathogenesis. The corresponding treatment principle is assisting dredge with supplementation, and supplementing deficiency to dispel stasis; treating wind and blood simultaneously, and extinguishing wind to arrest convulsion; clearing heat and cooling blood, and diffusing qi and unblocking qi and fluid. Moreover, it is recommended to treat the heart and lungs simultaneously, and regulate the heart and liver at the same time.
