BACKGROUND:Platelet-rich plasma contains a variety of stimulating factors, and can also raise the proteoglycan and col agen synthesis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of platelet-rich plasma on the proliferation of goat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. METHODS:Blood samples were extracted from the jugular vein of Inner Mongolia Ximeng goats to harvest platelet-rich plasma using centrifugation method. Then, bone marrow was extracted from the goat’s ilium by puncture method to isolate and purify goat bone marrow mesechymal stem cel s using density gradient centrifugation method. After that, primary cel s at good state were cultured in L-DMEM complete medium containing 10%, 20%, 30%platelet-rich plasma or in simple L-DMEM complete medium. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Within 2-6 days of culture, cel s in the platelet-rich plasma groups proliferated faster than those in the control group, and with the increasing of platelet-rich plasma concentration, the cel s grew faster, with larger number and more mature morphology. At 4 days of culture, the cel doubling time was about 50, 35, 25 hours in the 10%, 20%, and 30%platelet-rich plasma groups, respectively. These findings indicate that goat platelet-rich plasma can dramatical y promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in a concentration-dependent manner.

Objective:To investigate the cross protective effects of folic acid,VB6,VB12 on rat aortic endothelial cells(RAEC) from injury induced by DL-homocysteine(Hcy).Method:RAEC were cultured in vitro,and the cross effects of folic acid,VB6,VB12 were studied by MTT.According to the results of orthogonal design,the activities of SOD,GSH-PX,NOS and the contents of MDA,NO in the media were compared.Results:The results of orthogonal design indicated that the inhibition of Hcy to RAEC could be relieved by folic acid,VB12 excluding VB6.The interaction existed between folic acid and VB12,as well as VB6 and VB12.The inhibition of Hcy to the enzymes(SOD、GSH-PX、NOS) could be relieved by three vitamin projects.Folic acid,VB12,VB6 could inhibit the reduction of NO and decrease the production of MDA.Conclusion:The simultaneous addition of folic acid,VB6 and VB12 may be an excellent strategy for protection of RAEC injury induced by DL-homocysteine.

Objective To investigate the laboratory ifndings, clinical manifestations and treatment in hemolytic disease caused by red cell immune antibodies in neonates. Methods The laboratory and clinical data from 4 cases of hemolytic disease of neonates caused by red cell immune antibodies were retrospectively analyzed. Results IgG antibody were detected in all mothers of 4 cases during pregnancy and they were anti-E, anti-D, anti-Jkb and the autoantibody with the titer being 16, 2048, 1 and 16 respectively. The four neonates were all full-term. The jaundice appeared 6 h to 3 d after birth with varying degrees of skin stained yellow, with or without anemia. Serology and elution test found the existence of antibody same as the one on their maternal red cells and the titer was 4, 512, 0, and 2, respectively. All neonates were treated by phototherapy. Two servere cases were also treated by whole blood exchange and red blood cells transfusion. The prognosis were good in all neonates. Conclusions Prenatal immune hematological tests facilitated early detection of irregular erythrocyte antibodies and thus assessment of the risk of hemolytic dis-ease of the fetus and neonates.

Objective: To investigate the effect of DL-homocysteine (Hcy) on expression of VCAM-1 and the adhesion between endothelial cells and monocytes in cultured rat aortic endothelial cells. Method: Rat aortic endothelial cells were cultured in vitro and treated by 0-5.0 mmol/L Hcy for 24 h. The activity of SOD and GSH-Px, the contents of MDA in the medium and the rates of adhesion between endothelial cells and monocytes were determined. The expressions of NF-?b,VCAM-1 protein and the VCAM-1 mRNA were detected by immunocytochemical and reverse transcriptase PCR respectively. Results: Compared with control group and 0.01 mmol/L Hcy , 0.1-5.0 mmol/L Hcy significantly inhibited the activity of SOD and GSH-Px, increased the contents of MDA and the expression of NF-?B and VCAM-1mRNA, enhanced the rates of adhesion between endothelial cells and monocytes. Conclusion: Homocysteine may play a crucial role in atherosclerosis by increasing the expression of NF-?B,VCAM-1mRNA and enhancing the rates of adhesion between endothelial cells and monocytes.

Ischemic stroke is one of the diseases with the highest morbidity and disability.Hypertension is recognized as the most important independent risk factor for ischemic stroke.Vascular remodeling during the development of hypertension is the pathological basis of causing ischemic stroke.Studies have shown that vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and apoptosis will lead to vascular remodeling.In addition,cerebral ischemia-reperfusion can result in neuronal damage and apoptosis.Recent research has shown that vascular remodeling and neuronal apoptosis are associated with chloride channels.At least 3 chloride channels including volume regulated chloride channel,calcium activated chloride channel and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator are involved in these processes.This article reviews the roles of the 3 chloride channels in vascular remodeling,neuronal apoptosis,and ischemic stroke.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of formaldehyde inhalation on the allergic rhinitis mice model. METHOD: Forty-eight male BALB/C mice in six experimental group were exposure to (A) saline control; (B) Der p1; (C) formaldehyde (3.0 mg/m3); (D) Derp1 + formaldehyde (1.5 mg/m3); (E) Der p1 + formaldehyde (3.0 mg/M3); (F) Der p1+ formaldehyde (6.0 mg/m3). The concentrations of IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γ in the peripheral serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Nasal mucosal inflammation was evaluated by HE staining. Result: Formaldehyde exposure could increase the number of allergic rhinitis mice with sneezing and rubbing nose. The levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in group B, D, E and F were higher than that ingroup A (P < 0.05). Compared with the group C, the group D, E and F could effectively increase serum IL-4 and IL-10. The concentration of IL-4 in group E and F was higher than that of group B, while the group C was lower (P < 0.05). The concentration of IL-10 in group D, E and F was higher than that in group B (P < 0.05). The expression of IFN-γ in group B, D, E and F was lower than that in group A. While, the IFN-γ expression in group B was lower than that of group C and higher than that in group F (P < 0.05). Moreover, the concentration of IFN-γ in group D, E and F was lower compared with group C (P < 0.05). The nasal mucosa HE staining showed that the density of EOS increased simultaneously in formaldehyde exposure allergic rhinitis groups. CONCLUSION The study showed that formaldehyde exposure can promote Th2 cytokines and eosinophil infiltration and then aggravate the allergic rhinitis symptoms.
