The cortexes were obtained from new-born rats and dissociated to single cells by triturating. The cells were cultured in neural stem cell (NSC) culture medium (DMEM supplemented with bFGF, EGF and B27) and formed primary neurospheres after 7 days. Single cells dissociated from neurosphere were cultured in 96-well plates and formed single-cell cloning neurosphere 7 days later. The primary and single-cell cloning neurospheres were both positive for the immunofluorescent staining of nestin and were identified as NSC. It was proved that NSC can be expanded in vitro and provide seed cells for neural tissue engineering.

To study the osteogenic potential of cultured bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) transfected with transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) gene in vitro, cultured BMSCs were transfected with the complexes of pcDNA3-TGF-β1 and Lipofectamine Reagent in vitro. The cell proliferation was detected by MTT method and the morphological features of transfected BMSCs was observed. ALP stains and PNP method were used to measure ALP activity. In addition, the collagen type Ⅰ propeptides and mineralized matrixes were examined by immunohistochemical staining and tetracycline fluorescence labeling respectively. The morphological and biological characters of the transfected BMSCs were similar to those of osteoblasts and the cell proliferation was promoted. The cell layer displayed strong positive reaction for ALP stains and immunohistochemical staining. ALP activity and collagen type Ⅰ expression increased remarkably after transfection. Mineralized matrixes formed earlier and more in transfected BMSCs as compared with control group. It is concluded that transfecting with TGF-β1 gene could promote the osteogenic potential of cultured BMSCs.

Objective To find out parental locus of control and mental health affecting students test anxiety. Methods The samples were from 5 middle schools including 1000 students,and their parents. They were investigated with the general life scales, Sarason's test anxiety scale, Symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90)and Parenting Locus of Control Scale(PLOC). Results The ratio of test anxiety: the mild was 28.8%, moderate was 45.0%, severe was 26.2% ,and felt anxiety was 55.8%. Ratio of test anxiety was higher in the boy students (X2=9.284, P =0.010) ,and heavier(F:16.42±6.70; M:15.18 ±6.51, t=2.716, P=0.007). Student test anxiety was significantly positively correlated with their parental mental health (r fatherl～11=0.166～0.272, Pfather l～11= 0.000;r mother 1～11=0.182～0.242, P mother 1～11= 0.000); Student test anxiety positively correlated with the effectiveness cof parents education, father's belief on the fate, eontrol of fathers for their children, locus of control from fathers (r1～5=0.075～0.143; P1-5=0.000～0.030);felt anxiety positively correlated with self-expect ,pressure from their mothers,over take care attitude from their parents,self-pressure from their parents( r1～6=0.068～0.230; P1-6=0.000～0.050) ,and negatively correlated with respect attitude of parents for their child, Marital relations,Communication time between the students and their parents,attitude of mother for learning( r1-7=-0.074～-0.140;P1～7=0.000～0.034). Felting test anxiety was served as a dependent factor, some factors enter the regression equation,and they were somatization of father, psychotic mother, the pressure from parents, mother over expectations, self-expectations ,the child control from student's father by Logistic regression analysis ( OR1～16=0.675～3.029;P1-6=0.000～0.007). Conclusion Students test anxiety is a common problem in male and female students. Mental health and locus of control from students' parents show test anxiety has somatization of father, psychotic mother, the pressure from parents, mother' expectations,self-expectations, the control of father for the child 6 risk factors.

Objective To discuss family environment and parent's education pattern of violent online games addictive disorder in junior middle school students. Methods From August to December at 2008,6000 students were randomly drown from 8 junior middle schools in Dalian. All subjects were investigated with the self-made internet game survey form and the Chen internet addiction scale (CLAS). 149(2.5% ) internet game addicts were screen out from 6000 students, and then were divided into the violence and entertainment game addicted group (66 students in per group, and the male 55, female 11). No-game group 66 students were matched according tothe sex and the age. All subjects were evaluated with Egma Minnen av Bardndosnauppforstran ( EMBU) and Moss's Family Environment Scale of Chinese version. Results Lower mother's understand and warm were observed in violence internet online game addictive student group than other two groups( (46. 37 ± 13. 93,49. 80 ± 7.13,53. 16 ± 14. 89) , F = 4.88, P<0.01) ,and the mother understand and warm were remarkably lower in the violence online game addictive group than the non-game addicted group(P<0.01) ,and mothers rejection and the denial are obviously higher in entertainment online game addictive group than the non-game group(P = 0. 038). In family environment survey results suggested there were significant different during the 3 groups (F1-3 = 13. 99, 12.24,10.56; P<0.05)in emotion expression(4. 74 ± 1. 32,6. 06 ± 1. 97,5. 80 ± 1. 11) ,and conflict (5. 57 ± 1.85,5.28 ± 1.41,3.63 ± 1.50) .independence (3.96 ± 1. 87,4.56 ± 1.84,4.63 ± 1. 85). In the violence online game addictive group, emotion expression was lower than other two groups (P<0. 01) ,the conflict score was higher than other two groups (P<0.01). The controlling was lower than other two groups ( all P<0. 01) ; family function and total score are lower in online game addictive groups than other groups (P<0. 01, P<0. 05). Conclusion -Lower emotion expression,higher conflict,lacks of mother's love and warm,and lower controlling are found in violence online game addictive junior middle school students.

The feasibility of using gene therapy to treat full-thickness articular cartilage defects was investigated with respect to the transfection and expression of exogenous transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 genes in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. The full-length rat TGF-beta 1 cDNA was transfected to MSCs mediated by lipofectamine and then selected with G418, a synthetic neomycin analog. The transient and stable expression of TGF-beta 1 by MSCs was detected by using immunohistochemical staining. The lipofectamine-mediated gene therapy efficiently transfected MSCs in vitro with the TGF-beta 1 gene causing a marked up-regulation in TGF-beta 1 expression as compared with the vector-transfected control groups, and the increased expression persisted for at least 4 weeks after selected with G418. It was suggested that bone marrow-derived MSCs were susceptible to in vitro lipofectamine mediated TGF-beta 1 gene transfer and that transgene expression persisted for at least 4 weeks. Having successfully combined the existing techniques of tissue engineering with the novel possibilities offered by modern gene transfer technology, an innovative concept, i.e. molecular tissue engineering, are put forward for the first time. As a new branch of tissue engineering, it represents both a new area and an important trend in research. Using this technique, we have a new powerful tool with which: (1) to modify the functional biology of articular tissue repair along defined pathways of growth and differentiation and (2) to affect a better repair of full-thickness articular cartilage defects that occur as a result of injury and osteoarthritis.
