As a multipotential stem cell, adipose-derived mesenchymal cell presents similar characters with bone marrow-derived menchymal stem cell in morphology and biology, and has the ability of directional differentiation to the all three germ layers. The adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell could be harvested conveniently with slighter wound, and has a broad prospect in cell therapy and tissue engineering.

Aim To study the effect of S-methylisothiourea(SMT) on adriamy ci n (ADM) induced myocardial lipid peroxidation in rats.Methods T hirty-two Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group;SMT treated group ( SMT5.0 mg?kg -1,iv,only 1 time);ADM treated group (ADM 5.0 mg?kg -1, ip, only 1 time ); ADM with SMT treated group (the dos ageand method of ADM and SMT were similar to ADM treated group and SMT treated g roup, respectively).24 hour after of administration of the drugs, rats of all t he groups were killed.TBA method, DTNB method, nitrate reductase method, pyrogal lol autoxidation method and hemoglobin-oxidation method were used to determine the contents of lipid peroxide(LPO)and nitric oxide (NO), the activities of glut athione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in myocardium, respectiv ely. The level of nitrotyrosine (NT) was determined by immunohistochemical metho d in myocardium.Results SMT significantly reduced the contents of LPO and NO, the activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), the level of NT in myocardium (P0.05).Conclusion SMT can inhibit myocardial lipid peroxidation induced by ADM. The mechanism may be that SMT can selective ly inhibited the activity of iNOS in myocardium induced by ADM, reduce productio n of NO in myocardium, thereby reduce production of peroxynitrite and protect the activities of SOD and GPx in myocardium.

AIM: To study the effect of fructose-1, 6-diphosphate (FDP) on adriamycin(ADM)-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rats. METHODS: Twenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group, ADM treated group and FDP intervention group. The contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO - 2/NO - 3, the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined by colorimetric method in myocardial tissue, and the cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected by TUNEL method in myocardial tissue, and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA, Bcl-2 mRNA and Bax mRNA in myocardial tissue were detected by in situ hybridization. RESULTS: The contents of NO - 2/NO - 3 and MDA in myocardial tissue, the expressive levels of iNOS mRNA and Bax mRNA in cardiomyocyes and its apoptotic amounts in FDP intervention group were significantly lower than those in ADM treated group ( P

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of protective measures(hydration treatment)during perioperative period of interventional therapy for renal function of gerontic patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)complicated by chronic renal insufficiency(CRI).Methods The relation between hydration therapies and the renal function of 168 CAD patients(≥60 years old)complicated by CRI were analyzed.These patients were divided into three groups:in the group A,patients underwent selective coronary angiography(SCA)with conventional treatment during interventional perioperative period(IPP);in the group B,patients underwent SCA and treated with the NaCl plus low dose NaHCO3 during IPP;in the group C,patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),and meanwhile treated with the same dose NaCl and NaHCO3 as the group B during IPP.Results Coronary interventions were successful in all 168 patients.Contrast medium associated nephropathy(CAN)was found in 30 patients,and incidences of the CAN were 17(27.4%)in the group A,3(7.5%)in the group B and 10(15.2%)in the group C,respectively.The accompanying diseases and characteristics of the patients also effected the incidence of CAN:the CAN incidence of patients with hyperlipidemia was significantly higher than that with normal cholesterol(P<0.001);patients with diabetes was significantly higher than that with normal serum glucose(P<0.001);patients with stenosis of renal artery was significantly higher than that with normal renal artery(P<0.001);patients with heart failure(grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ)was significantly higher than that with the grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ(P<0.001).Conclusion The hydration treatment with the NaCl plus low dose NaHCO3 during IPP can protect renal function and increase tolerance for gernotic CAD patients complicated by CRI during IPP,and improve prognosis.

AIM: To study the effect of S-methylisothiourea(SMT) on adriamycin(ADM)-induced changes of superoxide dismutase and alutathione peroxidase activities in myocardial tissue of rats.METHODS: Rats were treated with ADM by intraperioneal injection (10.0 mg/kg body weight),and then the ADM-treated rats were intervened by SMT at different dosages by intravenous injection(once a day for three days).The contents of malondialdehyde(MDA) and NO_2~-/ NO_3~-,the activities of manganes superoxied dismutase(MnSOD),copper-zinc superoxide dismutase(Cu-Zn SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GPx) and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) were determined by spectrophotometry in myocardial tissue.The activity of isoenzymic CK-MB of creatine kinase(CK) was determined by enzymic rate method in serum.The expression of MnSOD mRNA,Cu-ZnSOD mRNA,GPx mRNA and iNOS mRNA were detected by reverse transcription-ploymerase chain reaction.RESULTS: The contents of MDA,NO~-_2/ NO~-_3,and iNOS activity of myocardial tissue,the activity of CK-MB in serum in SMT(5.0,10.0,20.0 mg/kg) intervention groups were significantly lower than those in ADM-treated group(P

Objective:Through analyzing pulmonary function and clinical characteristics of preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) from 0 to 6 months, the characteristics of pulmonary function in infants with BPD were investigated.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 85 infants hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from December 2015 to December 2017, including 25 preterm infants with BPD (BPD group), 30 preterm infants without BPD (preterm control group), and 30 term infants without respiratory diseases (full-term control group), respectively.Pulmonary function were tested in preterm infants at 37 to 41 weeks of corrected age as well as at 6 months of corrected age, and full-term infants at 3 days to 1 week after birth as well as at 6 months old.The outcomes of respiratory system diseases at 6 months of corrected age in two groups of preterm infants were followed up.Results:(1) While preterm infants at 37 to 41 weeks of corrected age and full-term infants at 3 days to 1 week after birth, time to peak tidal expiratory flow/expiratory time(TPTEF/TE)and volume to peak tidal expiratory flow/exhaled volume(VPTEF/VE) of BPD group were lower than those of the other two groups ( P<0.05), while the differences between preterm control group and full-term control group is not significant.VPTEF, peak expiratory flow (PEF), tidal expiratory flow when 75% of tidal volume reminds in the lung (TEF75%), TEF50%, TEF25% in BPD group and preterm control group were lower than those in the full-term group ( P<0.05). The differences between BPD group and preterm control group were not significant ( P>0.05). The BPD group had significantly lower TPTEF/TE, VPTEF/VE and ratio of tidal expiratory flow and tidal inspiratory flow when 50% of tidal volume reminds in the lung (TEF50%/TIF50%) and higher VPTEF, PEF, TEF25% at 6 months of corrected age than those at 37 to 41 weeks of corrected age ( P<0.05). While at 6 months of corrected age, the BPD group had higher PEF than that in the preterm control group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between that in the occurrence of lower respiratory tract infections (43.3% vs.16.7%), wheezing (21.7% vs.8.3%), rehospitalization (39.1% vs.16.7%) between BPD group and preterm control group within 6 months of corrected age ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Infants with BPD had small airway obstruction at 37 to 41 weeks of corrected age and may not improve significantly at 6 months of corrected age.
