BACKGROUND: Under the cellular physiological condition, 15.3% N-acetylated chitosan has poor solubility which limits cellular microencapsulation process.OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to prepare 50% N-acetylated chitosan with 15.3% N-acetylated chitosan and investigate its feasibility for preparing chitosan microcapsule used for hepatocyte embedding after in conjunction with methacrylic acid-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-methyl methacrylate (MAA-HEMA-MMA) copolymer under the cellular physiological condition.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: This study, a control observation experiment, was performed at the Central Laboratory, First Hospital Affiliated to Jinan University, Guagnzhou, Guangdong Province, China between January and October 2006.MATERIALS: 15.3% N-acetylated chitosan was provided by Sigma-Aldrich Company, Singapore. Hepatocytes were acquired from male Wistar rats, weighing 250-300g, by two-step collagenase digestion method.METHODS: Hepatocytes were microencapsulated using 50% N-acetylated chitosan and MAA-HEMA-MMA copolymer at 25℃ under aseptic condition.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Microcapsule permeability was expressed with the diffusion degree of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran in the empty microcapsule. The homeostasis of microencapsulated hepatocytes was measured by mechanical shearing-crush tests. The albumin-synthesizing capability of microencapsulated hepatocytes was determined by enzyme-labeled immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Urea-synthesizing capability was tested using kits (Sigma Diagnostics, USA) at the wavelength of 540 nm by colorimetric assay. Cytochrome P450 activity was determined using confocal laser microscopes and quantitated by the fluorescence intensity of products of 0-dealkylated 7-ethoxy resorufin, a substrate of cytochrome P450IA1. The plate-cultured hepatocytes were taken as controls.RESULTS: With increasing mass concentration of 50% N-acetylated chitosan, the diffusion degree of Mr 20000 and Mr 40000 FITC-dextran presented with a decreasing tendency, while the diffusion degree of Mr 70000 FITC-dextran was low and did not alter markedly. When the microencapsulated hepatocyte density was 2×109 L-1, the broken rate of microcapsule was only about 6% after 24 hours of shaking. Under the same condition of shaking, empty microcapsules were all broken after 4 hours of shaking. After 1 day of culture, approximately 30μmol/d urea could be synthesized among 1×106 bepatocytes that was markedly higher than the plate culture experimental result, 15μmol/d. After 7 days of culture, urea-synthesizing capability was close between in the microencapsulated hepatocytes and in the plate cultured hepatocytes. In the first 3 days of culture, 10μg/d albumin was acquired from 1×106 hepatocytes, and after 7 days of culture, only about 5μg/d albumin was obtained. The albumin level in the whole culture process was higher than plate culture results. After 1 day of culture, cytochrome P450 activity in the microencapsulated hepatocytes was higher approximately 8 times compared to plate culture results. After 1 week of culture, cytochrome P450 activity still retained at 50% of 1-day culture level.CONCLUSION: Microcapsule prepared by 50% N-acetylated chitosan under the physiological condition has good permeability and structural stability during the process of culture. Compared with in vivo surface culture test, degenerated chitosan microcapsule is better favorable to in vitro function of hepatocytes.

A new method has been established for simultaneous determination of anions and cations in fertilizer sample by multimodal liquid chromatography with direct conductivity detection. An Acclaim Trinity P1 column based on nanopolymer silica hybrid technology with multimodal separation functional groups reversed-phase/anion-exchange/cation-exchange was used for the analysis. The chromatographic conditions were optimized and the effect ion of eluent on retention was discussed. Eight ions ( Li+, NH+4 , K+, HCOO-, NO-2 , Cl-, NO-3 and Br-) were separated and determined simultaneously by using 25 mmol/L CH3 COONa solution containing 50% acetonitrile at pH=5. 0 as mobile phase. The flow rate was 0. 50 mL/min and the temperature was 30 ℃. Under the optimum conditions, the linear ranges of the method were in the range of 0 . 5-200 mg/L for all the ions with correlation coefficient of 0 . 9997-0 . 9999 . Whereas the detection limits (S/N=3) were in the range of 0. 16-1. 72 mg/L and the relative standard deviations (RSD, n=9) were in the range of 1 . 3-2 . 5%. The method was applied to the determination of anions and cations in the fertilizer samples with satisfied results and the recoveries were in the range of 95 . 8%-103 . 8%.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the primary effect of granulocyte-monocyte colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as an immunotherapy option for treatment of residual disease after alloHSCT.Methods Immunotherapy was performed on two patients with blood malignancy to treat residual disease after allo-HSCT. The patient one,who was diagnosed as having MDS-RAEB Ⅱ,showed bone marrow displasis and incomplete chimerism 6 months after unrelated donor HSCT.Immunosuppressive drug was withdrawn without induction of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).The patient two B-ALL demonstrated a residual disease at molecular level 30 days post-transplantation.Both of them were given GMCSF (300 μg) subcutaneously once every two days for totally three weeks.During the whole period,skin itch and rash,liver function,subgroups of lymphocytes,and MDSCs and DCs in peripheral blood were investigated.Results In case one,grade Ⅰskin acute GVHD (aGVHD) appeared as early as one week after GM-CSF administration,as well as grade Ⅱ (skin and liver) by the end of the third weeks,and GM-CSF injection was withdrawn.One month later since the start of GM-CSF,the patient showed normal bone marrow morphology and full donor type chimerism. Cyclosporine A (CsA), mycophenolate mofetil and methylprednisolone were administered for two weeks to control GVHD.In the other case,grade Ⅰ aGVHD occurred 9 days after GMCSF administration,and whole blood CsA maintained at 0.134-0.472 μmol/L.Prednisone (30mg per day for 5 days) was used to control grade Ⅱ GVHD from the 11th day after GM-CSF,and grade Ⅰ GVHD continued without any intervention.On the 30th day after GM-CSF treatment,bone marrow aspiration showed complete molecular remission.In both of the two cases,no differences in lymphocytic subtypes were revealed before and after GM-CSF administration,while there were trends of increased DC number and decreased MDSCs in peripheral blood.ConclusionThe administration of GM-CSF as an immunotherapy option for blood malignancy may contribute to the clearance of residual disease after Allo-HSCT.
