Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2013;34(7):428-431
Objective To observe the immunoregulatory roles of MSCs in inducing proliferation of B regulatory cells (Bregs).Method DA Rat MSCs were co-cultured with Wistar rat B cells.The levels of IL-10 and secrete proinflammatory cytokines in the supematants were determined by using ELISA.The proliferation and apoptosis of B cells after interaction with MSCs were analyzed by using FACS.In order to investigate whether Bregs are involved in the phagocytosis of immune complex (IC),B cells and Bregs were incubated with FITC-OVA-IC.The fluorescence intensity was detected by using immunofluorescence microscopy.Results MSCs induced B cells to differentiate into Bregs with high CD19,CD1d and CD5 expression and high IL-10 level.The proliferation of B cells was significantly suppressed after interaction with MSCs.Bregs had enhanced phagocytic capacity as compared with that of B cells.Bregs significantly inhibited maDC-induced CD4+ T cell proliferation compared to B cells,without depressing IL-2 or IFN-γ secretion.Conclusion MSCs induce freshly isolated B cells to differentiate into Bregs characterized by the ability to preferentially produce IL-10.

Inositol,also called cyclohexanehexol,is a water-soluble Vitamin (Vitamin B8),which is widely distributed in plants and animals.It is an essential and indispensable nutrient for human and animals to maintain normal physiological functions with multiple bioactivities.Inositol can promote the maturity of a variety of ingredients in pulmonary surfactants,participating in the regulation of cell growth and surviving,biofilm formation,as well as the information transmission processes of a variety of signaling molecules.Therefore,inositol plays a key role in the growth and development of children and is closely related to pediatric developmental diseases.In order to provide a new way of thinking for prevention and treatment of inositol and its molecular mechanisms in pediatric developmental diseases,this article reviews the relationship between inositol and pediatric clinical diseases and its research progresses combined with the results of our laboratory studies.

ObjectiveToevaluatetheclinicalvalueoflaparoscopicrenalcystdecorticationandopencyst decortication surgery in the treatment of polycystic kidney disease.Methods Various clinical parameters were retro-spectively analyzed in 108 patients with polycystic kidney,include laparoscopic 60cases and open surgery 48cases.The observation indexes include operative time,operative bleeding,restoration time of bowel functions,postoperative drain-age volume,hospital time,postoperative complications,kidney function,blood pressure,and the clinical effects were estimated.Results In the laparoscopic group,the average operation time was (57.7 ±13.2) min,the average blood was (35.9 ±17.3)mL,the average time of exsufflation was (1.6 ±0.7)d,the average postoperative drainage volume was (23.2 ±4.3)mL,the average hospital time was (5.1 ±0.8)d.As compared with the open surgery group,the op-eration time,hospital stay,operative bleeding,postoperative drainage and hospital time of the laparoscopic group short-ened significantly(all P<0.05).The complication rate of the laparoscopic group and open surgery group were 5.0%and 16.7%separately.The complication incidence was significantly lower in the laparoscopic group than that in the open surgery group(P<0.05).At 3 months postoperative,the levels of serum creatinine(Cr),urea nitrogen(UN)and systolic blood pressure were obviously decreased compared with preoperative.There were no significant difference be-tween the two groups(P>0.05).The follow-up data showed that the cure rate and effective rate of the open surgery group were 81.2%and 18.8%,and the cure rate and effective rate of the laparoscopic group were 85.0% and15. 0%respectively.There were no significant difference of the clinical effects between the two groups (P >0.05). Conclusion The laparoscopic was superior to the open surgery in the operation time,hospital time,operative bleed-ing,postoperative drainage and hospital time.Laparoscopic renal cyst decortication in polycystic kidney is open surgery safer,little injury,quick recovery.Laparoscopic renal cyst decortication is safe and effective therapy,which can be used as primary surgical treatment for patients with polycystic kidney.

Objective To observe the effects of berberine on inflammatory factors, adipokines and fatty acid metabo-lism in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying berberine’s role of improving insulin re-sistance. Methods mRNA level of inflammatory molecules, adipokines, key enzymes and protein in fatty acid metabolism in 3T3-L1 cells were determined by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) after cells were treated with different concentrations of berberine (0, 5, 10, 20, 40μmol/L) for 24 hours and with 10μmol/L berberine at different du-rations (0,4,8,24,48 h). These factors mainly included interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), leptin, adipo-nectin, visfatin, fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (AFABP). Results In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, transcription level of IL-6, TNF-α, leptin, FAS, AT-GL, AFABP reduced with addition of berberine dosage at 10~40μmol/L(P<0.05)while visfatin mRNA level increased(P<0.05)compared with the control group. No significant difference was found in expression of adiponectin(P>0.05). Tran-scription level of IL-6, TNF-α, leptin, AFABP, ATGL, FAS decreased with time after 10μmol/L berberine intervention (8-48 h) compared with the control group(P<0.05). On the other hand, visfatin mRNA level increased(P<0.05)compared with the control group. Adiponectin mRNA decreased only after cells were treated with berberine for 48 h(P<0.05). No sig-nificant difference was found transcription of ACC between each groups treated with berberine(P > 0.05). Conclusion mRNA level of inflammatory factors, adipokines, key enzymes and protein in fatty acid metabolism in 3T3-L1 adipocytes can be affected by berberine and this effect depend on its dose and time . This might be the mechanisms underlying berber- ine to improve insulin resistance.

Objective To evaluate the role and efficacy of preventing bone mineral loss in patients with endometriosis treated by gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRH-a) combined with addback therapy.Methods Prospective,randomized controlled studies of the use of GnRHa with add-back therapy in treatment of endometriosis were enrolled in this study from Medline,Embase,Cochrane library,China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI),Chinese Biological Medicine Disk (CBM) and Data Base of Wanfang.After quality assessment and data extraction,meta-analysis were conducted in the change of BMD,reproductive hormone (E2) and visual pain score (VAS) by Stata 11.0 software.Results A total of 785patients from 13 randomized controlled trail (RCT) studies enrolled in this study after exclude no following up,poor quality and repeat published studies.377 patients were in group of GnRH-a with add-back treatment and 408 patients were in group of GnRna alone.The findinds were showed in meta-analysis:(1) there was a significant difference in percentage change of bone mineral density (BMD) between two groups,the addback therapy was more effective in prevention of bone loss which was (SMD =0.223,95% CI:0.003 to 0.443,P =0.047).(2) There was no significant difference in the level of reproductive hormone between two groups (SMD =-0.053,95% CI:-0.479 to 0.373,P =0.807).(3) There was also no significant difference in the visual pain score between the two groups (SMD =-0.157,95% CI:-0.474 to 0.160,P=0.332).Conclusions GnRH-a with add-back therapy have been shown to be more effective in preventing loss of BMD than GnRH-a treatment alone.However,the long term effect of preventing BMD should be studied.
