Objective To explore the effects of electrical stimulation in different acupoints on the expression of growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF) in spinal cord injured rats after the human umbilical cord blood stem cells transplantation.Methods 192 SD rats were injured at T10-11 level with NYU, and divided randomly into groups: Group A received electric stimulation in the scalp of motor area (A1 group received electric stimulation and transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cell, the rats of A2 group only received electric stimulation); group B received local electric stimulation at damaged site (B1 with electric stimulation and transplantation, B2 only with electric stimulation); group C received electric stimulation in the scalp of motor area and at damaged site (C1 with electric stimulation and transplantation, C2 only with electric stimulation); D1 received transplantation without electric stimulation, D2 neither with transplantation nor electric stimulation. The expression of GAP-43, bFGF and IGF were detected 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation. Results Electric stimulation increased the expression of GAP-43, bFGF, IGF, stimulating scalp and body were more than stimulated scalp or body alone, combined with the stem cells transplantation were more than no transplantation. Conclusion Both electric stimulation and stem cells transplantation can improve the microenvironment for neural recovery synergistically. Stimulating scalp and body is more effective than alone.

BACKGROUND: Group pre-test has confirmed that amnion endothelial cell conditioned medium can induce human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells into dopaminergic neuron-like cells. In this process, neurotrophic factors and their receptors may play an important role. OBJECTIVE: To study the function of neurotrophic factors secreted by amniotic epithelial cells in the differentiation of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells into neurons.METHODS: P1 human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells at 2×10~8 /L were incubated and assigned to 3 group. Control group was added with HG-DMEM medium. Induction group received human amniotic epithelial cell medium. Blocking agent group underwent blocking agent K252a fluid, and the incubated was conducted at 36 ℃ for 40 minutes, and then amniotic epithelial cell medium was added. Immunofluorescence chemistry was used to determine neuron specific enolase and dopamine transporter expression in human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells. Real-time quantitative PCR was employed to detect neuron specific enolase, dopamine transporter and tyrosine hydroxylase expression in human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor were observed in human amniotic supernatant. P1 human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells expressed Trka and Trkb. Forty-eight hours following induction, compared with the control group, positive expression of neuron specific enolase and dopamine transporter was significantly increased in the induction and blocking agent groups (P < 0.05), especially in the induction group (P < 0.05). Neuron specific enolase, dopamine transporter and tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA levels were significantly greater in the induction and blocking agent groups compared with the control group (P < 0.01), and each gene mRNA levels were significantly greater in the induction group than in the blocking agent group (P < 0.01). Results verified that neurotrophic factor in the human amniotic epithelial cells plays important effects on differentiation of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells into neurons. The promotion effects are mediated by activating Trk receptor.

Objective To compare the sensitivities of the stimulation effect of human cord blood mesenchymal stem cells(CB-MSCs) and CB-MSCs of neuronal differentiation to lymphocytes(LCs) detected with carboxyfluorescein didcetate(CFSE) and MTT. Methods To prepare LCs from SD rat and divided into four group stimulating cells: 1. CB-MSCs;2. Dif-CB-HSCs;3. SH-SY5Y(positive control);4. Auto-LC(negative control).Stimulating cells were respectively Co-cultured with LCs. The proliferation of LCs was detected with MTT and CFSE ( n =3). Results CB-MSCs and Dif-CB-HSCs stimulated LCs to proliferate more weakly than positive control detected with MTT and CFSE. The quantity of proliferation of lymphocytes Co-cultured with CB-MSCs and Dif-CB-HSCs were higher than that of Auto-LC detected with CFSE. But MTT OD value of CB-MSCs and Dif-CB-HSCs was a little lower than that of Auto-LC. Statistical analysis results showed no significant difference.Conclusion CFSE can reflect proliferation status of lymphocytes better than MTT. CFSE shows more advantages in practical use.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression of nitric oxide synthase(NOS) in the apoptosis of primary cultured rat cortical neruons following hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R) and the protective role of extract of ginkgo biloba(EGB). Methods The cortical neurons of E16-17 days fetal rat were primarily cultured.The apoptosis model of primary cultured cortical nurons following H/R was established by using W-G staning,electromicroscopy,TUNEL staining.The dynamic expression of NOS different H/R times was investigated with NADPH-diaphorase histochemical method. Results H/R can cause apoptosis of primary cultured rat cortical neurons.In the experiment of H-2R-0,H-4R-0, H-6R-0,H-8R-0 and H-2R 18,H-4R 18,H-6R 18 H-8R 18,the apoptosis cells occurred after 4 hour hypoxia.The increasing of apoptosis cell acted as time-dependence and the peak value was at H-8R 18.The expression of NOS increased both after 2 hour hypoxia and reoxygenation 18 hour after 8 hour hypoxia compared with the normal control group.EGB could inhibit the increasing and decrease the percentage of apoptosis.Conclusion The apoptosis of primary cultured rat cortical neurons could be induced by H/R.The increasing of NO might be one of the mechannisms of apoptosis.EGB could singnificantly inhibit the apoptosis by means of inhibiting the expression of NOS and reducing the production of NO.;

Methods In this study the subjects adopted are clean grade rats, which were performed with Allen's method by NYU blow device, resulting in SCI models. 192 rats successfully modeled were divided into groups according to the random table. Group A received electric stimulation in the scalp surface projection area of motor area: Group A1 received electric stimulation and transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cell, while Group A2 only received electric stimulation; Group B received local electric stimulation at damaged site: Group B1 received electric stimulation and transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cell, while Group B2 only received electric stimulation; Group C received electric stimulation in the scalp surface projection area of motor area and local electric stimulation at damaged site: Group C1 received electric stimulation and transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cell, while Group C2 only received electric stimulation; Group D are just the SCI models: Group D1 received transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cell without electric stimulation, while Group D2 neither received cell transplantation nor electric stimulation. The sacrifice time of rats was the 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week, 4th week, 8th week, and 12th week after operation respectively. The distribution of the remained or regenerative neurons at damaged areas by corticospinal tract anterograde tracer with Biotinylated dextran amine (BDA), and we also detected the content changes of GAP-43, MBP and the MAB1281 specific expression of the human nucleus of human umbilical cord blood stem cells. Results 1). NYU is a blow device for Allen's rat model of SCI, which could quantify the crash potential energy, and gain a stable and repeated model with high successful rate. 2). At each time site in this study, the factors that benefit for the neurofunction restoration after electric stimulation in the microenvironment into which the stem cells have been transplanted are GAP-43 and MBP, and they are all positive; the effects of the combination of head acupuncture with body acupuncture are much better than single head acupuncture or body acupuncture. 3). At each time site in this study, the factors that benefit for the neurofunction restoration after injury are GAP-43 and MBP, and the effects of them are all positive, which do not depend on whether the stem cell transplantation has been done. Conclusion 1). After the stem cell transplantation have been done, the changes of the microenvironment develops in the direction of benefiting for restoring neurofunction, which means that stem cell transplantation can promote the restoration of neurofunction and the stem cell transplantation is successful in this study. 2). Electric stimulation is significantly positive for the factors (GAP-43, MBP) which benefit for restoring neurofunction in the microenvironment after stem cell transplantation, the effects of the combination of head acupuncture with body acupuncture is better than single head acupuncture or body acupuncture. The significantly positive effects of the electric stimulation on microenvironment after injuries are independent, which do not depend on whether the stem cell transplantation has been done. Electric stimulation and stem cell transplantation are significantly synergistic at the microenvironment.

BACKGROUND:Many studies have showed that enough blood supply is an essential condition of bone repair and regeneration. OBJECTIVE:To construct the endothelial progenitor cells/bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (EPCs/BMSCs) composite sheet. METHODS:After isolation and culture, EPCs and BMSCs were co-cultured directly to form EPCs/BMSCs sheet by cellsheet-inducing medium. After 10 days of induction, the sheet was investigated by gross observation, inverted microscope and hematoxylin-eosin staining. The distribution and communication of EPCs and BMSCs during the process of cellsheet induction were observed after the fluorescence labeling separately. Alkaline phosphatase assay and alizarin red staining were applied to examine the ability of osteogenic differentiation of EPCs/BMSCs sheet.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:EPCs/BMSCs sheet was harvested after 10-day induction. Cel-cellcontact between EPCs and BMSCs could be observed during the process of the cellsheet preparation. The harvested sheet was composed of multiple layers of cells and cel-produced extracellular matrix. Alkaline phosphatase assay and alizarin red staining both demonstrated that EPCs/BMSCs sheet had good osteogenic differentiation ability. These results suggested that EPCs/BMSCs sheet can be constructed successful y, and the sheet has strong osteogenic differentiation capability in vitro, providing the foundation for the repair of bone defects.
