Objective To study the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in artery tissue under different calcification environments.Methods We made a vascular calcification model using warfarin,vitamin K1 and vitamin D3.After the model was successfully made,we took artery tissue of normal SD rat arteries and calcified arteries co-cultured with MSC,which were divided into three groups.The normal group included normal artery tissue with MSC; calcified inducers group included calcified inducers (dexamethasone with β-glycerophosphate and ascorbic acid),normal arterial tissue and MSC; calcification group included calcified artery tissue and MSC.Each group was cultured for 3 weeks.On the 10th day of the experiment,osteoprotegerin (OPG) protein secretion was detected by ELISA.After three weeks,changes of cell morphology were observed using inverted microscope,and total protein content and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were detected by ELISA.In additional,the Ror2 (receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2) mRNA expression was detected by using RT-PCR method.Results MSC in calcification group spontaneously proliferated and differentiated to osteoblast-like cells.Compared with normal group,calcification group showed that the total protein content,ALP activity of bone metabolism markers,OPG were significantly elevated,while Ror2 mRNA expression was significantly decreased.MSCs in calcified inducers group did not differentiate to osteoblast-like cells,and the total protein content and OPG were increased,while ALP activity had no significant difference as compared with the normal group.However,Ror2 mRNA expression was lower in calcified inducers group than in normal group,while was higher than that in calcification group.Conclusions MSCs proliferate into bone-like differentiation in vascular calcification environment and aggravate the vascular calcification.And in normal vascular with calcified inducers environment,MSCs proliferate into smooth muscle cell differentiation and rehabilitate the vascular calcification.These phenomenons may be related to the Ror2 expression in artery.

Objective To determine the importance of aneuploidy screening in preimplantation genetic diagnosis for the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. Methods To perform 11 prenatal genetic disgnosis (PGD) cycles for 7 couples of chromosome translocation carriers from January 2006 to March 2009 in the Reproductive Medical Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. To re-analyze the well-fixed, non-multinuclear and non-debris nuclei using the probes of LSI 13, 18, 21,CEPX, CEPY to detect the aneuploidy rate which come from the PGD cycles of the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. The euploid embryo was defined as two fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)signals of LSI 13, 18, 21 respectively and two signals of CEPX, or one signal of CEPX and one signal of CEPY. The other abnormal signals were defined as aneuploid embryo. Results (1) A tolal of 130 nuclei from 11 PGD cycles got the integrated re-FISH signals. Nine hundred and thirty-seven FISH signals were analysized, including 304 signals from 38 euploid nuclei and the others from 92 aneuploid nuclei. (2) The number of the aneuploid nuclei from grade Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅲ embryo was 20 (22%), 36(39%), and 36(39%). The number of the euploid nuclei from grade Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅲ embryo was 13(34%), 17(45%),and 8(21%). There was no significant difference of aneupioidy rate between the embryos form different grades (P>0.05). However, the rate of aneuploid nucleus from good quality embryos (grade Ⅰ + grade Ⅱ) was 60% (59/92). (3) The euploidy rate was 71.4% (30/42) from balanced embryos, while 9.1%(8/88)from unbalanced embryos. There was significant difference between them (x2=53.4, P<0.05).The rate of aneuploidy from balanced embryos was lower than those from unbalanced embryos (P<0.05).Conclusions Since higher rate of aneuploidy was detected in embryos of the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. It is advisable to recommend the FISH re-analysis for aneuploidy screening to preimplantation genetic diagnosis for the couples of chromosome translocation carriers.

OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to evaluate the percutaneous absorption of aconitine and mesaconitine in extracts of Radix Aconitum kusnezoffii. METHODS: The extracts of Radix Aconitum kusnezoffii were collected by using Franz diffusion cells after permeation through the skin of rats. Then rate constants of skin permeation of aconitine and mesaconitine were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS: Under the condition that the concentrations of azone and propylene glycol were both 4%, the cumulative doses of skin permeation (Q) of mesaconitine and aconitine in the extracts of Radix Aconitum kusnezoffii (600 mg/ml) for 24 hours were 165.819 and 487.747 microg/cm(2) respectively, and their rate constants of skin permeation were 18.391 and 78.805 microg.cm(-2).h(-1) respectively. CONCLUSION: The aconitine and mesaconitine in the extracts of Radix Aconitum kusnezoffii can penetrate well through the skin of rats. Propylene glycol and azone can promote this penetration effects. The formula of skin permeation of mesaconitine and aconitine is in accordance with Higuchi equation and there is a linear relationship between Q and t(1/2).

To investigate the expression of the subunit p65 of NF-kappaB and inhibitor kappa B alpha (IkappaBalpha) in mouse uterus during peri-implantation, thereby investigating whether transient activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) takes place during embryo implantation in mice. Immunohistochemical technique was used to examine the expression and localization of p65 in endometrium or deciduas, and Western blot analysis was employed to detect the levels of IkappaBalpha protein in mouse endometrium or deciduas. P65 protein was detected in stromal cells, epithelial cells of endometrium as well as in myometrium. Staining was predominately seen in the cytoplasm of the cells. Staining intensity for p65 was stronger in the epithelial compartment than the stromal compartment and myometrium. Staining intensity increased slightly during pregnancy, and it reached a high level on pregnancy day 5 and day 8. In contrast to p65, the level of IkappaBalpha protein was lowest on pregnancy day 5 in all groups. Our results suggested that NF-kappaB may regulate embryo implantation by its transient activation in mice.

Objective To study the feasibility of reconstructing trachea by implanting autogenous costal perichondrium tracheal prosthesis.Methods Ten dogs were used.Three pieces of costal perichondrium of every dog were wrapped on a silicon bar used as skeleton and implanted into sternohyoid muscle adjacent to trachea to establish blood supply.Four weeks later,silicon bar was removed and perichondrium ring served as tracheal prosthesis.Trachea resection and prosthesis replacement was performed.Viability of dogs,gross and microscopic pathological changes were studied to evaluate the effect of prosthesis replacement.Results The respiratory tracts of the 8 survival dogs were not obstructed.Their diet,activity and bark were not different from those of the normal dogs.With abundant blood supply,the prosthesis fused tightly with the surrounding tissue.Anastomotic orifice healed without cicatricial tissue and granulation tissue.The internal surfaces of prosthesis were smooth and glossy with white tunica mucosa covered.Under light microscope,internal surfaces of prosthesis were found covered by pseudostratified columnar epithelium with few cilia.Under tracheal mucous membrane,there were fibrous membrane,neonate chondrocytes and striated muscle cells stratum successively.Fibrous membrane was composed of collagen and fibroblasts with a few inflammatory cells scattered.A small number of neonate chondrocytes were found under fiber membrane.Plasma of these chondrocytes looked pale after staining,which indicated that these chondrocytes were neonate.Striated muscle cells connected with the neonate chondrocytes firmly. Neonate capillaries and micro blood vessels of various diameters were abundant in striated muscle stratum.Conclusion It is feasible to reconstruct dog trachea using prosthesis constructed with autogenous costal perichondrium.
