BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)are widely utilized as seed cells or carriers in bone tissue engineering and gene therapy.Thus,how to obtain BMSCs with high purity arose more attentions of researchers.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of different separation methods and culture conditions on biological characteristics of rabbit BMSCs.METHODS:BMSCs were obtained by whole bone marrow culture,density grand centrifugal and red blood cell lysis.At 48 hours after culture,the cell numbers were counted,the time of passage was recorded,in addition,the cell morphology was observed by phase contrast microscope,and the CD44 antigen expression was identified using flow cytometry.The 3rd and the 7th generation aging cells were cultured with DMEM-LG,MEM-HG,and DMEM/F12 culture medium.MTT and count cell plat were used to evaluate the growth of BMSCs.Phase contrast microscope was used to observe the morphological changes of aging cells.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:BMSCs could be separated by each method.The adherent cells showed shuttle or multiple angle shapes,with rich cytoplasm,and positive for CD44 antigen.The more cell number and shortest primary culture time was presented in red blood cell lysis group(P < 0.05).DMEM/F12 could promote the proliferation of quiescent cells.And the cells prevented the better viability.The method of read blood cell lysis improving the efficiency of BMSCs adherent is an effective method of extraction of BMSCs.DMEM/F12 could promote the proliferation Maybe,DMEM/F12 is more suitable for BMSCs.

Objective: To detect estrogen receptor α and β(ER-α, ER-β)protein expression in different age of mouse thymus.Methods:Protein expression of ER-α and ER-β in thymus was analyzed via immunohistochemistry.Moreover,the relationship between ER-α and cytokeratin 18(epithelial cell marker)was further tested through fluorescence double-staining.Results: Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that both ER-α and β protein was found in nuclei of some thymocytes of 3 month mice.However,expression of ER-β was absence while ER-α was still positive in aged mice, such as 12 months and 16 months old.Double staining further confirmed that lots of ER-α/β positive cells were Foxp3 negative cells.Conclusion: Expression of ER-β is absent while ER-α is still positive in thymus of aged mice, which indicates ER-α is the critical estrogen receptor that involves in thymic involution.Moreover, ER-α/β do not participate in Treg development within thymus.

Aim To explore the effect of nNOS specific inhibitor 7-nitrioindazole(7-NI) on the neurogenesis after focal cerebral ischemia in the adult mice dentate gyrus.Methods Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO).A bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU) method was used to identify the proliferated cells in hippocampal dentate gyrus.Step-down test was performed to assay the learning and memory function.Results The number of BrdU~+ cells was increased in the ipsilateral but not contralateral dentate gyrus after focal cerebral ischemia.7-NI promoted the increment in the ipsilateral dentate gyrus significantly.7-NI also improved the survival of the new-born cells,as well as the learning and memory function of ischemic mice.Conclusion Our results indicate that nNOS down-regulates the neurogenesis after focal cerebral ischemia.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Tripterygium Wlilfordii on renal interstitial fibrosis and the expression of inflammatory factor in mice kidney with the Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction(UUO).Methods:Mice were randomly assigned to shame operation group(shame proup), UUO group, Tripterygium Wlilfordii and ACEI treatment group after UUO. The protein expression of ?-SMA,ICAM-1 were assessed by immunohistochemistry or Western blot; MCP-1 mRNA were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses(RT-PCR). And the change of renal pathology was observed at the same time.Results:In comparison with the shame group, the protein levels of ?-SMA, ICAM-1 and the mRNA expression of MCP-1 in UUO mice and treatment groups increased significantly, meanwhile Tripterygium Wlilfordii and ACEI could significantly reduce the expression of ?-SMA, ICAM-and MCP-1 on levels of protein and gene. The effects of Tripterygium Wlilfordii on ICAM-1 and MCP-1 were more significant than ACEI.Conclusion:Tripterygium Wlilfordii could reduce the transdifferentiation of renal interstitial cells and prevent renal interstitial inflammatory injury.

Objective To observe the contribution of acute normovolemic hemodilution ( ANH) in experiment of cryopreserved dog limb replantation.Methods Sixteen healthy Beagle dogs (male:female=1:1) were divided into two groups.Dogs in the experiment group ( Group B) received ANH in the limb replantation, and dogs in the control group ( Group A) received the same amount of lactate Ringer’ s solution intravenously during the surgical operation.We recorded and compared the hemodynamic indexes, HB, HCT, the resuscitation time, the first rising head time, the first standing time and the first eating and drinking time between the two groups.Results ( 1 ) During the operation, both PaO2 and PCO2 in the two groups were normal, as well as the breathing rate.The heart rate in the group B was lower than that in the group A.Before blood transfusion, there was no statistically significant difference in HB and HCT between the two groups, but after transfusion they were significantly higher in the group B than in the group A.(2) The resuscitation time, the first rising head time, the first standing time and the first eating and drinking time of the group B were all better than those in the group A.Conclusions In cryopreserved dog limb replantation experiments, acute normovolemic hemodilution is helpful to improve the general condition and facilitate the recovery of animals after limb replantation.

Objective To investigate the differences in the biochemical and pathological features and therapeutic response between the elderly-onset autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and young-onset AIH.Methods From October 2013 to November 2016,a total of 87 consecutive AIH patients diagnosed by liver biopsy were enrolled and divided into elderly-onset group (≥60 years) and the young-onset group (< 60 years).The biochemical and pathological features and therapeutic response of the two groups were compared.Mann Whitney test and chi square test were performed for statistical analysis.Results As AIH diagnosed,the proportion of liver cirrhosis detected by imaging examination of elderly-onset group and the young-onset group were 67.7%(21/31) and 35.7%(20/56),respectively,the former was higher than the latter,and the difference was statistically significant (X2 =8.214,P=0.004).The proportion of patients complicated with extrahepatic autoimmune diseases of the elderly-onset group was 9.7% (3/31),which was lower than that of the young-onset group (28.6%,16/56),and the difference was statistically significant (X2 =4.173,P=0.041).The median levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and albumin of the elderly-onset group were 50.0 U/L (22.0 U/L,193.0 U/L) and 34.8 g/L (31.3 g/L,40.5 g/L),which were lower than those of the young-onset group (146.0 U/L (43.8 U/L,390.5 U/L),39.4 g/L (35.8 g/L,44.6 g/L),and the differences were statistically significant (Z=-2.109,-2.092;both P< 0.05).Between the two groups,there was no statistically significant difference in inflammation grade,fibrosis stage,interface hepatitis,lymphoplasmacytic infiltration,positive rate of hepatocyte rosette pattern,positive rate of centrilobular necrosis and small bile duct injury (all P>0.05).After treatment,among 17 patients of elderly-onset group,seven patients obtained biochemical remission and the median time to remission was 3.2 months;among 37 patients of young-onset group,18 patients (48.6%) obtained biochemical remission and the median time to remission was 2.3 months.There was no significant difference in the percentage of patients achieved biochemical remission and the median time between the two groups (both P>0.05).Conclusion The percentage of complicated with extrahepatic autoimmune diseases of elderly-onset group is lower than that of young-onset group,which indicates that age-associated immune dysfunction may involve in the genesis and development of elderly-onset AIH.
