Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(1):26-31
Objective To investigate the surface properties of different fibracel carriers and their culture effects on different cells.Methods Three fibracel carriers(A,B,C)were selected to analyze the chemical element composition of their materials,and the contact angles of the carriers before and after pretreatment with 0. 1 mol/L NaOH solution were tested. By measuring the adhesion effect and glucose consumption of Vero,MDCK and MRC-5 cells on the carrier,and observing the cell growth state by fluorescent staining,the cell adhesion efficiency and culture effect of the three carriers were compared and analyzed.Results The three carriers were mainly composed of C,H,O,and contained a small amount of N and S elements. Before pretreatment,the contact angle of carrier B was 0°,which was significantly lower than that of A[(109 ± 3. 13)°]and C[(121 ± 6. 82)°](each F = 709. 1,each P < 0. 000 1),and the hydrophilicity was stronger. Carriers A and C had poor hydrophilicity. After pretreatment,the contact angles of the surfaces of the three carriers A,B,and C were all 0°,with no significant difference(F = 0. 069 4,P > 0. 05),all of which were hydrophilic. The adherence rates of the three types of carriers within 3 h of cell culture were all above 80%. The cells were dense and evenly grown on the carrier fibers,the glucose consumption curves tended to“S”type,and the continuous cell culture effect was good. The total glucose consumption of carrier A and carrier C was basically the same,and carrier B was lower than carrier A and carrier C.Conclusion The chemical element composition and the relationship between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of the three fibracel carriers were analyzed,and the adhesion rate and culture effect of Vero,MDCK and MRC-5 cells were evaluated,which provide reference for the subsequent research and production application of fibracel carriers.

Objective To observe the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 II (LC3II) and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) in CA1 area of hippocampus in vascular dementia rats. Methods 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group and model group. Meanwhile, each group was further divided into 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks subgroups (n=6). Vascular dementia model was established by blocking four vessels. The expressions of LC3II and MAP-2 protein were detected with immunohistochemistry in the CA1 area of hippocampus. Results The expression of LC3II significantly increased, and the expression of MAP-2 decreased in the model group compared with the sham group at every time point (P<0.001). The expression of LC3II was negatively correlated with MAP-2 at every time point in the model group (r=-0.723, P<0.05). Conclusion It may play an important role for the occurrence and development of vascular dementia that the expression of LC3II increased and MAP-2 descreased in CA1 area of hippocampus in rats.

Objective To explore the effects of tilted seat surface on front protraction of upper limb and postural adjustment while sitting in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods From 2010 to 2014, 15 children with spastic cerebral palsy (patients group) and 15 healthy children (control group) were recruited. They were asked to reach forward sitting on the tilted seat surface with different degrees (-15°, 0°, 15° ) to test the reaction time and movement time. The contraction times of rectus abdominis and back extensors were recorded and ana-lyzed. Results The reaction time and movement time were shorter, and the contraction rates of rectus abdominis and back extensors were lower in the degree with-15° than with 0° and 15° (P<0.001). There was no difference in reaction time between two groups (P>0.05), and the movement time was longer in the patients group than in the control group (P<0.001). The contraction rates were higher in the patients group than in the control group. Conclusion Anterior tilted seat surface may improve the front protraction function of upper limb and the postural adjustment in children with cerebral palsy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of grip strength, three simple lung functions[functional volume capacity(FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1)and peak expiratory flow(PEF)], 6-minute walking distance test(6MWD)and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)for assessing overall integrative function in elderly versus non-elderly patients with coronary artery disease(CAD).Methods:A total of 35 hospitalized CAD patients aged 70.4±10.6 years from January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively enrolled.Patients were divided into the non-elderly group(<65 years, n=8)and the elderly group(≥65 years, n=27). FVC, FEV1 and PEF were tested by a portable lung function machine.The grip strength, 6MWD, three simple lung functions(FVC, FEV1, PEF), LVEF and echocardiography were detected after admission.The above indexes were re-examined in outpatient clinic at 3 months after discharge.The results of above indexes were compared at admission versus at three months after discharge.The consistency and correlation between FVC, FEV1, PEF, 6MWD, grip strength and LVEF were analyzed.Results:The detected results of FVC, FEV1, PEF, 6MWD, left-hand grip strength, right-hand grip strength and LVEF showed no significant difference at admission versus at 3 months after discharge( P>0.05)in a total of 35 hospitalized CAD patients.Pearson bivariate correlation analysis showed that FVC, FEV1, PEF, left-hand and right-hand grip strength had pairwise correlation between them( P<0.01).6MWD had no correlation with LVEF.And LVEF was related with FVC and FEV( P<0.01), but not related with PEF, 6MWD and grip strength( P>0.05). The detective values of FVC, FEV1, PEF, 6MWD, left-hand and right-hand grip strength were lower in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group[(2.11±0.66 )L vs.(2.88±0.55) L, (1.74±0.46 )L vs.(2.62±0.49 )L, (5.50±1.79 )m/s vs.(8.22±1.59) m/s, (332.07±115.58)m vs.(446.14±99.81 )m, (25.14±7.87) vs.(35.15±8.30), (27.37±8.39 )kg vs.(38.37±10.20)kg, P<0.01]. LVEF had no significant difference between the two age groups. Conclusions:FVC, FEV1, PEF, 6MWD and grip strength are lower in elderly group than in non-elderly group.A comprehensive set of tests of grip strength, three simple lung function and 6MWT is helpful to evaluate the overall integrative function in elderly CHD patients.

Objective To observe the effects of autophagy on the expression of synaptic plasticity related protein, growth-associated pro-tein-43 (GAP-43) and microtubule associated protein-2 (MAP-2), in CA1 area of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats. Methods Nine-ty-six healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, vascular dementia model group (VD group), autophagy in-hibitor 3-methyl adenine preconditioning group (3-MA group) and autophagy agonist rapamycin preconditioning group (Rap group). Each group was divided randomly into subgroups of one week, two weeks, four weeks and eight weeks after modeling, six rats in each group. The vascular dementia rat model was established with modified Pulsineli's four-vessel occlusion. The expression of GAP-43 and MAP-2 in CA1 area of hippocampus were detected with immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the sham group, the expression of GAP-43 protein increased, and the expression of MAP-2 protein decreased at every time point in VD group (P<0.01). Compared with VD group, the expres-sion of both GAP-43 and MAP-2 increased in 3-MA group (P<0.05), and decreased in Rap group (P<0.05). Conclusion Autophagy may in-hibit the expression of synaptic plasticity related protein, GAP-43 and MAP-2, in CA1 area of hippocampus in vascular dementia rats, indi-cating inhibition of autophagy may promote synaptic remodeling.
