BACKGROUND:Coculture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and human umbilical vein endothelial cel s can improve both osteogenic and angiogenic outcomes and provide a promising strategy for bone tissue engineering and osteanagenesis.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize recent researches and related progresses in coculture of human umbilical vein endothelial cel s and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s.
METHODS:A computer-based online search of CNKI database from January 2000 to March 2012, PubMed database and Web of Knowledge database from January 1980 to March 2012, was performed with the keywords of“human umbilical vein endothelial cel s, bone mesenchymal stem cel s, coculture, tissue engineering”both in Chinese and English. A total of 135 articles were screened out, 103 of them were excluded due to unrelated study objective and repeated contents, and final y 32 articles were involved in further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At present, studies on coculture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and human umbilical vein endothelial cel s mainly focus on mimicking in vivo environments, the interactions between cel s, and the influence of different cel ratios and culture media. Most of these researches play important roles in bone tissue engineering and bone regeneration therapy, but the mechanism of action and concrete regulation in
vivo between bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and human umbilical vein endothelial cel s stil need further research and analysis.

Objective To investigate the effect of C peptide on tubulointerstitial oxidative stress injury in rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN) induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Methods Wistar rats with DN induced by STZ were randomly divided into control group and C peptide group. All rats were treated via intraperitoneal micro-osmotic pump. Normal Wistar rats at the same age were used as the normal group. Blood glucose and24 h urinary albumin were measured before treatment and every 4 weeks during treatment period. After 12 weeks of treatment, the expression of transforming growth factor - β1 (TGF - β1) in renal tubulointerstitium was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Fresh tubulointerstitial tissue homogenate was harvested and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was detected in WST-1 method, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was detected in TBA method, and the expression of protein kinase A (PKA) mRNA was detected by Real-time PCR. Results Levels of blood glucose, 24 h urinary albumin, MDA content and the expression of TGF-β1 were higher in the control group than those in the normal group, while SOD activity decreased and PKA mRNA was downregulated. C peptide treatment did not change blood glucose level but slowed down the increasing of 24 h urinary albumin, reduced the tubulointerstitial TGF-β1 expression and MDA content, increased the SOD activity and upregulated the PKA mRNA expression. Conclusions C-peptide can decrease the tubulointerstitial oxidative stress in DN rats by activating PKA pathway and then improve tubulointerstitial fibrosis and attenuate proteinuria.

BACKGROUND:Lumbar spine MRI and electrophysiological test are reliable methods for evaluating nerve root injury caused by lumbar disc herniation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation between the MRI-based grading system and the latency and frequency of F wave as wel as latency and amplitude of H-reflex in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
METHODS:MRI imaging of the lumbar spine was performed with a 3.0-T imager and a dedicated TCL coil to classify lumbar disc herniation and nerve root compression. F wave and H reflex were detected on the patient bilateral tibial nerves using Oxford myoelectricity evoked potential instrument.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Spearman correlation analysis showed that the MRI-based grading of patients with lumbar disc herniation had a negative correlation with F wave frequency (r=-0.594 0, P<0.000 1), and a positive correlation with F wave latency (r=0.825 6, P<0.000 1) and H-reflex latency (r=0.875 0, P<0.000 1), but no correlation with H-reflex amplitude (R=0.117 4, P=0.257 3). With MRI grading increased, F wave frequency was decreased, and F wave and H-reflex latency were prolonged gradual y, indicating aggravating nerve root compression.

Objective To investigate the expression of AIF, CYT C, PAF-1, caspase-3, and XIAP in Sprague-Dawley rats with spontaneous mammary neoplasms.Methods One-hundred and thirty 3-4-week old SPF Spargue-Dawley rats (♀∶♂=1∶1) were fed in a specific pathogen free (SPF) breeding barrier for 60 weeks.The occurrence of spontane-ous breast tumors was recorded and histopathology was performed to identify the types of tumors.The rats were divided into 3 groups:rats with normal breast tissue ( group I) , with benign tumors ( group II) and with malignant tumors ( group III) . The expression of AIF, CYT C, APAF-1, caspase-3 and XIAP proteins and mRNAs were detected by immunhistochemistry ( IHC) and RT-PCR assay.Results Among these 130 SD rats, 14 rats were observed having spontaneous mammary neo-plasms with the incidence rate of 10.77%(14/130).In these neoplasm cases, 7 cases were mammary fibroadenomas, 7 cases of breast carcinoma, both with an incidence rate of 5.38%.Immunohistochemistry showed that, compared with the group I, the positive expressions of AIF, APAF-1, caspase-3 were decreased significantly (P<0.01), and the CYT C and XIAP expressions were significantly increased in the group II.The positive expression of all genes except XIAP was de-creased in the group III(P<0.01).Compared with the group II, APAF-1 and XIAP were significantly higher in the group III (P<0.01), and the positive expression of AIF, Cyt C, and caspases-3 were significantly decreased (P<0.01).In the results of RT-PCR assay, except APAF-1 which showed significant correlation with the results of immunohistochemistry ( P<0.05 ) , all the others showed an extremely significant correlation with immunohistochemical results ( P <0.01 ) . Conclusions Mammary tumors are most common spontaneous neoplasms in SD rats.Abnormal expression of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway-related factors AIF, CytC, APAF-1, caspase-3, and XIAP are correlated with the carcinogenesis and de-velopment of breast tumors.

This investigation was aimed to detect the carotid elasticity in normal adults by use of echo-tracking (ET) technique. The stiffness parameter (beta), pressure-strain elasticity modulus (Ep), arterial compliance (AC), argumentation index (AI) and one-point pulse wave velocity (PWV beta) of carotid in 145 normal adults with the average age of 47.0 were calculated. The population were divided into five groups according to age: 20-29 y, 30-39 y,40-49 y, 50-59 y and > or = 60 y. The elasticity parameters between left and right side, between male female and between different age groups were compared using SAS 6.12 statistic software. There was no difference in carotid elasticity regarding the side and gender. The carotid beta, Ep, AI and PWV beta were noted to increase with age while AC was noted to decrease with age. The carotid elasticity was found to correlate with age significantly, but not with side and gender. This change can be detected by ET technique.

Objective:To investigate the clinical safety and efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic ventral onlay lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty for ureteral stricture.Methods:The clinical data of 6 patients with ureteral stricture admitted to the Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from December 2020 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 males and 3 females, with an average age of (40.2±11.5) years old. The status of ureteral stricture and hydronephrosis was measured by ultrasonography, CT urography and ureteral retrograde angiography. There were 2 cases of left ureteral stricture and 4 cases of right ureteral stricture, including 4 cases of upper segment stricture and 2 cases of middle segment stricture. The separation of the renal pelvis on the affected side was 3.2 (2.1, 4.2) cm. The length of ureteral stricture was 3.8 (2.5, 4.3) (1.0-5.0) cm, and the preoperative blood creatinine was 90(71, 97)μmol/L. Robot-assisted laparoscopic ventral onlay lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty was performed in all cases under general anesthesia. The strictured ureter segment was separated and longitudinally cut during the operation. The lingual mucosal grafts 2.5-5.0 cm in length and 1.0-1.5 cm in width was cut according to the stricture. Then the lingual mucosal grafts were harvested and placed in the strictured ureter as a ventral onlay. One double J tube was placed in the affected side in all cases during operation. The perioperative outcomes and complications were analyzed. The blood creatinine and renal pelvis separation on the affected side after surgery were compared with the preoperation.Results:All the surgeries were successfully completed. The average operative time was (190.8 ± 59.0) min, median blood loss was 40 (20, 63) ml, postoperative indwelling time of the drainage tube was 6 (4, 6) days, gastrointestinal function recovery time was 3 (2, 3) days, postoperative hospital stay was 6 (6, 7) days. The patients had clear pronunciation and lingual incision recovered 1 week post-operatively. The urine tube was removed 2 weeks after surgery, and the double J tube was removed 8 (6, 10) weeks post-operatively. Radiological examination revealed significant difference in hydronephrosis on the affected side 3 months post-operatively compared with the preoperation, and the separation of the renal pelvis on the affected side was 1.2 (1.2, 1.4) cm after surgery. The blood creatinine was 79(71, 104)μmol/L at 3 month after surgery, which was also improved compared with preoperative.Conclusions:Robot-assisted laparoscopic ventral onlay lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty is a feasible and safe option for the treatment of ureteral stricture with less trauma, rapid recovery, and less complications.
