Objective:To evaluate the effect of cryopreservation on clonogenic ability and apoptosis rate of mono-nuclear cells and CD34+cells in umbilical blood (UB), and to choose the index to present the freezing injury and optimize the cryopreservation of UB. Methods:hTe mono-nuclear cells (MNC) and CD34+cells were separated from UB and frozen.Atfer 30 days, they were thawed in warm water. Clonogenic capacity and clonogenic recovery before and atfer the cryopreservation was compared. We also used Annexin V-FITC-PI to investigate the apoptosis rate of the cells before and atfer the cryopreservation of these 2 types of cells. Results:hTe number of colony forming unit-granulocyte/monocyte (CFU-GMs) was not changed atfer freezing and thawing in both MNCs and CD34+cells, while the number of colony forming unit-granulocyte, erythrocyte, monocyte and megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) was obviously reduced after freezing in CD34+cells. The 2 types of cryopreserved cells had certain degree of apoptosis before the cryopreservation. MNC-type cryopreservation increased the cells apoptosis a little, while CD34+-type cryopreservation increased more. Conclusion:hTe cells have certain degree of apoptosis before the cryopreservation. hTe freezing and thawing procedure does affect the early stage progenitor cells-CFU-GEMM in the CD34+-type cryopreserved cells in UB. hTe damage may be induced by the cell apoptosis.

Objective To detect different animal erythrocyte hemolysins titer,and compare the application of these hemolysins in immunological experimental teaching,for selecting the better method of preparing high titer hemolysin for experimental teaching of medical immunology.Methods A total of 40 experiment rabbits were divided into 4 groups in this study,and immunized by sheep red blood cell(SRBC) and porcine red blood cell(PRBC) through different immunization procedures to prepare the hemolysin,detect and compare these 4 groups hemolysins titer by the complement hemolysis test.Results Rabbit Anti-SRBC in the group A was 1∶4 800,rabbit Anti-PRBC in the group B was 1∶1 200,rabbit Anti-SRBC in the group C was 1∶1 000,rabbit Anti-PRBC in the group D was 1∶200.Conclusion The hemolysin titer of the rabbit Anti-PRBC was lower than that of the rabbit Anti-SRBC by the same immunization procedures,and the immunization procedure by intradermal multi-point and auricular vein injection is the better method of preparing high titer hemolysin,so PRBC could replace SRBC as antigen,and immunize the rabbits for preparing hemolysin,which could be used in experimental teaching of medical immunology.

【Objective】 To develop and verify high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection for tromethamine (Tris) residues in human coagulation factor Ⅷ. 【Methods】 Alanine was used as internal standard, and AQC for pre-column derivation. Inertsil® ODS-SP was adopted, and acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer and acetonitrile were used for gradient elution at the flow rate of 1 mL/min and column temperature of 37℃. The 25 μL sample was loaded and determined by UV-detector with detection wavelength at 248 nm. This method was then verified. 【Results】 Glycine, sodium citrate and calcium chloride showed no interference with the detection of tromethamine (Tris) residues. The recovery rate of spike samples was within 90.0%~100.8%. The RSD in repeatability test were 2.5%, 0.7% and 1.2%, respectively, and in intermediate precision test 0.8%. The tromethamine (Tris) at concentrates of (0.5~4.0)μg/mL showed good linear relationship to the peak area to internal standard, of which the regression equation was Y=0.012 9X-0.000 782, R=0.999 97.The quantitative detection limit was 0.04μg/mL. 【Conclusion】 The HPLC for determination of tromethamine (Tris) residues in human coagulation factor Ⅷ was successfully developed, which showed good linearity as well as high specificity, precision and accuracy.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Dianxianqing granules on the tau protein in P301S mice by regulating mitophagy. METHODS Totally 36 P301S mice were randomly divided into model group, Dianxianqing granule group (12.48 g/kg), donepezil hydrochloride group (positive control, 1.3 mg/kg), with 12 mice in each group; another 10 C57BL6 mice were selected as control group. Administration groups were given relevant drug solutions intragastrically, and control group and model group were given constant volume of water intragastrically. The gavage volume was 20 mL/kg, once a day, for consecutive 5 months. During the experiment, the general condition of mice was observed in each group. After the last medication, the learning and memory ability was determined by Y maze test and Morris water maze test; HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes in brain tissue, and Nissl staining was used to observe the structure of neural cells and the number of Nissl bodies in cerebral tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of phospho-tau serine 202/threonine 205 (abbreviated as AT8) in brain tissue. Western blot assay was used to determine the expressions of mitophagy-associated proteins [PTEN-induced putative kinase-1 (PINK1), Parkin, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B), p62], synaptic-associated proteins [postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95), synaptophysin (SYP), and growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43)] and the phosphorylation of tau protein [expressed by the phosphorylation levels of serine 199 (Ser199) and Ser202] in brain tissue. RESULTS The mice in E-mail:lnzyxyqy2003@163.com model group showed symptoms such as white hair, decreased body mass, and lower limb paralysis, with incomplete hippocampal structures in their brain tissue, as well as incomplete cell membrane edges and cell structures; the spontaneous alternating response rate, the times of crossing platform, the number of Nissl bodies, the protein expressions of PINK1, Parkin, LC3B, SYP, GAP-43, and PSD-95 were decreased significantly, compared with control group; swimming latency (fourth and fifth day), the protein expressions of AT8 and p62,the phosphorylation levels of Ser199 and Ser202 were increased or lengthened significantly, compared with control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, the above symptoms and indexes of mice were improved significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Dianxianqing granules can effectively improve cognitive impairment in P301S mice,the mechanism of which may be associated with inducing mitochondrial autophagy, reducing the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, up-regulating the expression of synaptic-associated proteins in brain tissue,and repairing damaged neural cells.
