Objective To investigate the influences of 5-azacytidine (5-Aza) with different concentrations on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) proliferation and differentiation into myoblasts. Methods Bone marrow-derived MSCs of 4 weeks Wistar rats were separated and purified, and then treated with 5-Aza with different concentrations. The growth ability of cell was assayed with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method. The expression of skeletal muscle actin in MSCs was determined with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and electrophoresis after MSCs were induced. Results The cell proliferation was not affected by 0 and 1 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza . There were expressions of skeletal muscle actin treated with 3 -12 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza. Some cells were obviously enlarged at the 9th day after induction and myotubu-like cells were found at the 12th day when treated with 9 and 12 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza. 20 - 30 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza induced the toxic effect on proliferation of MSCs. With the increase of concentration, the proliferation ability of MSCs was weakened. Conclusion 5-Aza affects the expression of regulatory gene to the stem cells and regulate MSCs to orientationally differentiate into myotube-like cells.

Objective To clarify the effects of simulated microgravity on the local regulating function of the pulmonary circulation. Method Rat tail-suspension(TS) was used as the animal model to simulate the effects of microgravity.The changes in responses of pulmonary artery to several vasoactive agents were determined by using in vitro vessel rings perfusion technique. Result As for the endothelium-intact vessel rings from TS group compared with those from the control(C) group,the contractile responses of pulmonary artery to potassium chloride (KCl,10～70 mmol/L) did not change obviously after 7 d tail-suspension,which were markedly diminished as to phenylephrine (PE,10-9～10-5mol/L).The vasodilatory responses to acetylcholine (ACh,10-9～10-5mol/L) were markedly enhanced,which did not change obviously as to captopril (Cap,10-5～3×10-3 mol/L).The vasoreactivity of endothelium-removed pulmonary artery rings to all vasoactive agents did not change after 7 d tail-suspension as compared with those from control rats. Conclusion The release of nitric oxide (NO) by rat pulmonary arterial endothelium was enhanced after 7 d tail-suspension.The vasodilatory function of pulmonary artery was enhanced.

Objective To understand the current status of Toxoplasma gondii(TOX)infection among pregnant women and to explore the risk factors in some areas of Lhasa City,Tibet. Methods From 2015 to 2016,3 districts(counties)of Lhasa City were chosen as the investigation sites,and 200 pregnant women in each district(county)were selected as the investigation objectives. Meanwhile,450 pregnant women from Xuzhou,Yangzhou,Wuxi cities in Jiangsu Province were chosen as the con?trol. Then the blood samples of the pregnant women both in Lhasa and Jiangsu were detected by ELISA for TOX antibodies IgG , IgM,and the detection results were analyzed and compared. In addition,the individual information of the pregnant women in Lhasa City was surveyed by questionnaires,and the related risk factors of TOX infection were analyzed. Results Among 600 pregnant women investigated in Lhasa City,there were 99 pregnant women with positive TOX antibodies,and the positive rate was 16.50%,which was significantly higher than that(5.11%)of the pregnant women in Jiangsu Province(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among the 3 districts(counties)of Lhasa City in the positive rates of pregnant women (P>0.05). The positive rates of the women who preferred raw meat or had the intimate contact with animal were high. Conclu?sions Compared with Jiangsu Province,the infection rate of TOX among pregnant women in Lhasa City is high. Therefore,the comprehensive measures including health education,early examination and treatment should be taken actively,so as to prevent and control TOX infection in this area.
