Objective To establish a new cell resource of stem cell transplantation for heart failure therapy,by using cardiomyocytes from rat marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs). Methods MSCs were isolated and cultured from rat bone marrow,then induced by 5aza(5,10,15,20 ?mol/L) for 24 hours.The cultured cells were observed with phase-contrast microscopy.The immunohistochemical technique and laser scanning confocal microscopy(LSCM) were applied for revealing the expressions of desmin,?-sarcomeric actin and C-TnT.The induced cells were evaluated by a transmission electron microscope.GATA4 and(?-MHC) expressions were detected by relative quantitative RT-PCR after 7,21,28 days of inducement respectively. Results MSCs induced in vitro by 5-aza could be identified by the positive staining for desmin,?-sarcomeric actin and C-TnT.The number of cells stained positively in the 5 ?mol/L was greater than that of other groups.Transmission electron microscope showed that paralleled myofilaments were formed.RT-PCR assessment showed that the differentiated cells began to express GATA4 from day 7 to day 28 of differentiation and began to express ?MHC from day 21 to day 28 of differentiation.Conclusion Cardiomyocyte-like cells can be generated from MSCs in vitro and the marrow mesenchymal stem cells are one of the best resources of donor cardiomyocytes.

BACKGROUND: Being a kind of anti-oxidizing agent, vitamin E has the function of eliminating free radical and reducing the free radical injury of antioxidant enzyme in sports, which can alleviate appearance of fatigue and improve sports ability. OBJECTIVE: Though the intervention of vitamin E upon exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), the study was designed to investigate the effect of vitamin E on the morphology of EIMD and to provide the experimental basis of research on morphology and mechanism of EIMD. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized block animal experiment was performed in the Key Laboratory of General Administration of Sport of China in Shenyang Sport University and the Microelectronic Laboratory of Chinese Medical University from May to October 2007. MATERIALS: A total of sixteen male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: control, exercise, normal saline, and vitamin E groups. METHODS: The rats in the vitamin E group was administered (i.p.) 1-1.2 mg/kg vitamin E capsules once every eight hours four times one day before experiment, and the amount of injecting volume was 4 mL/kg. The rats in the normal saline group were administered (i.p.) normal saline with same volume and time. The rats in the exercise group only took some exercises without administering vitamin E or normal saline. The rats in the control group received not any intervention and treatment. The injury model was established by taking a bout of exhaustive downhill running. The triceps brachii muscles extracted from the right side of rats after exercise were prepared for electron microscope specimens. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The arrangement of myofibrils and sarcomeres, the changes of Z-line, and the morphology changes of cell membranes, nucleus, mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum, transverse tubule, and satellite cells were observed. RESULTS: In the vitamin E group, the muscular ultrastructures of EIMD were improved obviously. Though the sarcoplasmic reticulum showed edema, the regular arrangement of myofibrils was observed. The light and dark zone of Z-line and nucleus appeared clearly. CONCLUSION: Supplement of vitamin E could decrease the muscular morphological changes of EIMD after eccentric exercise. The arrangement of myofibrils was more regular and sarcomeres appeared more clearly. The function might relate to the antioxidation and promoting synthesis of proteins of vitamin E.

Objective:To analyze routine blood test results of pregnant women at different periods of pregnancy and evaluate the health status of pregnant women.Methods:A total of 240 pregnant women with anemia who underwent antenatal care or delivery in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The People's Hospital of Yuhuan from January 2018 to June 2019 were included in this study. They were divided into three groups according to different periods of pregnancy with 80 women in each group: first trimester, second trimester, and third trimester. Additional 80 non-pregnant women who concurrently received health examination were included as controls. Routine blood test results were compared among groups. The incidence of microcytic anemia and macrocytic anemia at different periods of pregnancy was determined.Results:The incidence of microcytic anemia in the third trimester group [3.75% (3/80)] was significantly lower than that in the first trimester group [26.25% (21/80)] and the second trimester group [25.00% (20/80), χ2 = 15.882, 14.675, both P < 0.05]. The incidence of macrocytic anemia in the third trimester group [22.50% (18/80)] was significantly higher than that in the first trimester group [1.25% (1/80)] and the second trimester group [3.75% (3/80), χ2 = 17.260, 12.333, both P < 0.05]. Red blood cell count and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in the peripheral blood of pregnant women in the first, second and third trimester groups were significantly lower compared with the control group ( t = 8.579, 16.781, 13.964, 10.154, 15.891 and 15.512, all P < 0.05). Red blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in the second trimester group were significantly lower than those in the other three groups (all P < 0.05). In the first, second and third trimester groups, white blood cell count and percentage of neutrophils were increased, and platelet count was decreased ( t = 23.085, 24.187, 27.941, 15.722, 22.153, 13.277, 31.517, 32.901, 32.227, all P < 0.05) compared with the control group. The increases in white blood cell count and percentage of neutrophils in the second trimester group were significantly greater than those in the first and third trimester groups, and platelet count in the third trimester group was significantly lower than that in the first and second trimester groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Monitoring routine blood indexes can help assess the health status of pregnant women. Adjusting nutrition program in time can decrease the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

ObjectiveTo identify the status of quality of life in breast cancer patients and explore the impact of environmental factors on quality of life in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. MethodsTotally 201 primary breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery were investigated.Self-developed demographic and clinical character investigation questionnaire,WHO Disability Assessment Schedule Ⅱ(WHODAS Ⅱ),and environmental factors in International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health(ICF)core sets for breast cancer patients were adopted to collect relevant data. ResultsBreast cancer patients had different levels of difficulties on each domain of WHODAS Ⅱ.Multiple stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that“material and emotional support and interrelationship with friends”, “social security service,system and policies” and“social norms,practices and ideologies” were factors influencing quality of life of breast cancer patients. ConclusionsIn addition to the strengthen of rehabilitation exercise training,nurses should advocate more services from society through policy making,prompt public awareness and scientific cognition,as well as construct effective nursing interventions to help enlarge social support resources and improve social support level.

Objective To observe the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and the regulation of neuregulin-1β (NRG-1β) in brain tissue in rats following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methods The animal models of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) were established by a monofilament method from left external-internal carotid artery in 200 adult healthy male Wistar rats. The rat models in the treatment group (75 rats) and in control group (75 rats) were injected with 1.5%NRG-1β 5 μl and 0.1 mol/L PBS 5 μl, respectively, from internal carotid artery (ICA). The cerebral infarct volume was measured by TFC stain, the apoptosis was identified with in situ TUNEL method, and the expression of MMP-9 was detected by immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent double staining and Western blotting analysis. Results Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion can induce apoptosis and expression of MMP-9 in cerebral cortex and striatum. With the ischemic time prolonging, the number of apototic cells in cortex from ischemic 0, 0. 5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2. 0 h increased from 1.78 ± 0. 15,5. 78 ± 0. 51,10. 35 ± 0. 77, 21.50 ± 1.19 to 32. 00 ± 1.78, while the number of apoptotic cells in stratum from ischemic also increased significantly from 1.46±0.21, 4. 12±0.54, 7.33±0.71, 16.54 ± 1.63 to 19.03± 1.44 (t =9.31- 37.78, P < 0. 01) and the expression of MMP-9 increased significantly (t = 7.73-27.75, P < 0. 01) in the control group. With NRG-1β treatment, the number of apoptotie cells in cortex from ischemic 0, 0. 5,1.0, 1.5 and 2. 0 h reduced from 1.66±0. 11,4. 80±0. 61,5.63±0. 56, 9.75±1.22 to 13.54 ±1.26; while the number of apoptotic cells in striatum from ischemic also decreased significantly from 1.34 ± 0. 14, 3.35 ± 0. 32, 4. 55± 0. 50, 7. 63 ±1.41 to 10. 46 ± 0. 98 (t = 2. 74-18. 93, P < 0. 05), the expression of MMP-9 decreased (t = 3.85-12. 09, P < 0. 01), and the infarct volume decreased significantly (t = 4. 645-13. 043,P < 0. 01) compared with those in the control group at the same timepoint and the corresponding region. Conclusions The expression of MMP-9 is increased after cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion, and it may contribute to the inflammatory reaction. NRG-1β might down-regulate the expression of MMP-9 to inhibit apoptosis inducing by inflammatory reaction in cerebral ischemic reperfusion.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of dietary fiber and phytic acid inositol hexaphosphate (IP6 or Insp6) on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine(DMH) induced colorectal carcinogenesis in Wistar rats. Methods: 86 four-week-old male Wistar rats were divided randomly into 6 groups and fed with either basal fiber free diet or the basal diet supplemented with 10% pectin, 10% cellulose, 2% Na-InsP6 supplemented water, 10% pectin in combination with 2% Na-InsP6 supplemented water, 10% cellulose in combination with 2% Na-InsP6 supplemented water. After four weeks, the rats were given a weekly injection of DMH (20mg/kg bw) for 20 weeks. The rats were killed after 26 weeks. The number of total macroscopically visible neoplasms was counted and the volume of individual neoplasmas was calculated. Proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference between the treatment group and the control group in the incidence of tumors. InsP6 significantly reduced the number of tumors in rats and tumor volume. Pectin and Pectin+InsP6 significantly increased the number of tumors in rats. The expression of proliferation marker PCNA was significantly down-regulated by InsP6 and significantly increased by pectin. Conclusion: A treatment regimen of 2% Na-InsP6 in drinking water was effective in significantly reducing the risk of colorectal cancer in Wistar rats. Diet supplemented with pectin could increase the risk of colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of low tidal volume ventilation on pulmonary and cardiac function before and after mitral valve replacement. Methods Thirty patients with mitral valve diseases were randomly divided into traditional tidal volume ventilation (groupⅠ), low tidal volume ventilation with conventional respiratory rate (group Ⅱ), and low tidal volume ventilation with high respiratory rate (group Ⅲ). Mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output(CO), cardiac index(CI), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), central venous pressure (CVP), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), and pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) were monitored. Arterial oxygen tension (PaO_2), carbon dioxide tension (PaCO_2), oxygen saturation index(PaO_2/FiO_2), alveolar-arterial PO_2 gradient (PA-aO_2), and Q_S/Q_T were measured. Results Before CPB, CO in group Ⅰ was significantly lower than that in group Ⅲ (P

Therapeutic efficiency of advanced stage liver cancer is insufficiency,which has become the hot spot of research.Clinical observation found that prognosis of liver cancer with integrity amicula was better.It is generally accepted that silicon dioxiode(SiO2) can induce pulmonary fibrosis,resulting in the formation of pneumosilicosis.Use of SiO2 as embolism material induces hepatic fibrosis and forms the fibrosis amicula around the liver carcinoma,and then restrains the recurrence and metabasis of liver cancer,which has been turned into one of the aspect of liver carcinoma therapy.The possible mechanisms of inducing hepatic fibrosis by SiO2 are peroxidative damage by free radical,releasing of active cytokines,or inducing cell apoptosis and the activation of HSC etc.
