BACKGROUND: Combined use of multiple interventions for different targets play superimposed or synergistic effects,which has become the current idea for spinal cord injury treatment.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the synergistic effects of low doses of 17-β estradiol combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on the recovery of motor function and inflammatory reactions after spinal cord injury in rats.METHODS: The 10 of 70 male Sprague-Dawley rats served as sham group in which the spinal cord was only exposed but with no treatment, and the rest 60 rats were used to make animal models of spinal cord injury using modified Allen's method and then randomized into four groups (n=15 per group): model, estrogen, stem cell and combined treatment groups. Rats in the stem cell and combined treatment groups were given BMSCs transplantation at injured side; rats in the estrogen and combined treatment groups were given intramuscular injection of 17-β estradiol at 1 and 24 hours after modeling. At 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after modeling, rat functional recovery was evaluated by the Basso, Beatlie, Bresnahan score. The expressions of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α in the injured spinal cord were detected by ELISA at 6, 12, 24, and 72 hours after modeling. Apoptosis in nerve cells was observed using TUNEL staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The Basso, Beatlie, Bresnahan scores were declined significantly after modeling,increased at 5 and 7 days after stem cell transplantation, estrogen treatment or their combined treatment (P < 0.05),especially in the combined treatment group (P < 0.05). The levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were elevated gradually after spinal cord injury (P < 0.05), but the levels decreased significantly at 12 and 24 hours in stem cell,estrogen and combined treatment groups (P < 0.05), and this decrease trend was more significant in the combined treatment group compared with the stem cell and estrogen groups (P < 0.05). At 72 hours after modeling, the rate of TUNEL positive cells was highest in the model group (P < 0.05) and lowest in the combined treatment group (P < 0.05).To conclude, the combined use of low doses of 17-β estradiol and BMSCs transplantation can facilitate the recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury by effectively inhibiting apoptosis in nerve cells.

BACKGROUND: It is difficult to in vitro isolate and culture the ovarian surface epithelium with high purity, strong vitality and stable biological characteristics. Tissue adherence and enzymatic digestion are commonly used for primary culture, but there are certain problems in cel col ection, cel viability and cel purity. OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for primary isolating, culturing and identifying human ovarian epithelium. METHODS: The ovarian surface epithelium was obtained with cel brush innovatively, and then the cells were isolated and purified with erythrocyte spal ation and differential adherence. The epidermal growth factor was added into the serum-free Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium-F12 medium for cel culture. The cel morphology was observed under inverted microscope, and hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunocytochemical staining were used to identify the cells, then the growth curve was draw. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The ovarian surface epithelium became adherent after cultured for 24 hours, and reached fusion basical y after cultured for 6-12 days. The cells were polygonal or flat with strong transparency and refraction. The morphological characteristics of the cells were in line with those of the normal epithelial cells, and almost al the isolated cells could express the epithelial cells surface marker CK19. The cells could be passaged for 6-8 generations with wel growth and the cel growth curve was in “S” shape. The purity of the cells was more than 95%. The results suggest that cel brush method is simple to operate and can obtain a large amount of ovarian surface epithelium rapidly. The purity of the isolated cells can reach to 95% after treated with erythrocyte spal ation and differential adherence method and the cells are in stable growth.

Objective: To evaluate chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) for detecting blood levels of aldosterone and rennin with its diagnostic value of primary aldosteronism (PA) with comparison to radio immunoassay (RIA). Methods: According to American protocols of CLSI, we conducted a veriifcation study between RIA and CLIA for their precision, accuracy, linearity and reference ranges; meanwhile, taking clinical diagnosis as golden standard, examined renin activity or concentration and aldosterone concentration in 20 healthy volunteers and 40 hypertension patients by both RIA and CLIA, compared the ratios of ARR (aldosterone concentration/renin activity) or ADRR (aldosterone concentration/renin concentration) for the speciifcity and sensitivity of PA diagnosis. Results: Within-lot and between-lot accuracies of CLIA for detecting aldosterone levels were below 5% and 10%, the recoveries were 102% and 95% respectively. There was a good linear correlation in the range of aldosterone at (3-74) ng/dl and renin at (0.99-330) μIU/ml. In healthy volunteers, renin level was higher in 2 subjects, while aldosterone level and ADRR ratio were within normal references in all subjects by the manufacturer. In hypertension patients, the sensitivity and speciifcity for aldosterone and rennin detections by CLIA were at 85.7% and 97.0%, by RIA were at 85.7% and 94.0%. Conclusion: CLIA has the superiority of simple performance, repeatable and without radioactive contamination; it is recommended for replacing RIA as necessity.

A strain of P. Aeruginosa,which was seperated from clinical environment,shows a special characteristic. It keeps normal short rod shape when cultured at 37℃, however,it forms filament without pyocyanin producing when cultured at 25℃ overnight. The filaments will divide and form short rods, simultaneously, produce pyocyanin when culture time is prolonged to over 72h or culture temperature is raised to 37℃. The preliminary study indicates that this phenomenin has nothing to do with nutritive conditions and could the inbluenced by inoculating density and irradiating with ultraviolet rays The absence of pyocyanin was not the cause of filamentous formation by the test results.

Aim To investigate the effects of dioscin ( Dio) on rat myocardial contractility. Methods Left ventricular contractile function was measured using the Langendorff non-recirculating mode of isolated rat heart perfusion. Effects of low, middle and high concentra-tion of Dio were investigated by measuring left ventricu-lar systolic pressure ( LVSP ) and left ventricular end diastolic pressure ( LVEDP) . Also, peak rates of rise/fall of left ventricular pressure ( ± dp/dtmax ) of isolated rat heart were calculated. Effects of Dio on intracellu-lar free calcium concentration in rat H9 c2 cells were measured by using the confocal microscopy. Mitochon-drial membrane potential was detected with multifunc-tional microplate reader. Results With 0. 1, 1 μmol · L-1 Dio, LVSP were significantly enhanced from (11. 55 ± 0. 52), (10. 53 ± 0. 28) kPa to (13. 08 ± 0. 72), (12. 53 ±0. 64) kPa(P<0. 01); +dp/dtmax were dramatically increased from ( 0. 38 ± 0. 10 ) , (0. 40 ± 0. 07) kPa·ms-1 to (0. 42 ± 0. 11), (0. 43 ± 0. 02) kPa·ms-1(P<0. 05). With the 10μmol· L-1 Dio, LVSP and + dp/dtmax were both decreased from (12. 13 ± 0. 33) kPa and (0. 42 ± 0. 04) kPa· ms-1 to ( 9. 46 ± 0. 77 ) kPa and ( 0. 24 ± 0. 04 ) kPa ·ms-1 (P <0. 01). With 0. 1, 1, 10 μmol·L-1 Dio, the relative fluorescence intensity of intracellular free calcium concentrations was increased significantly from (16. 62 ± 0. 89) to (21. 48 ± 0. 80), (25. 68 ± 0. 69) and (19. 84 ± 0. 66)(P <0. 01)respectively. 0. 1, 1μmol·L-1 Dio showed no significant effects on the mitochondrial membrane potential of rat H9 c2 cells, while with effects of 10 μmol·L-1 Dio, the ra-tio of JC-1 monomer and J-aggregates was changed from (1. 14 ± 0. 03) to (1. 35 ± 0. 06)(P<0. 01), indica-ting a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane poten-tial. Conclusion Low and middle concentrations of Dio show a positive inotropic effect on isolated rat heart, as the LVSP and + dp/dtmax are enhanced, which may concern with the increase of the intracellu-lar concentration of Ca2+. It will not cause the calcium overload while the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ is increased by low and middle concentration of Dio in the myocytes except high concentration of Dio.
