BACKGROUND: Neuronal apoptosis produced a main effect in secondary injury after injury of central nervous system. Recently, minocycline has been reported to protect neurologic function evidently by decreasing apoptosis.OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of minocycline on apoptosis and expression of related factor, and protective effect of minocycline on neurologic function of injured spine after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats.DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal study.SETTING: Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed at the Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology between November 2003 and December 2004. A total of 36male SD rats were divided into four groups: ①Blank control group (group A) with 6 rats, ②injured group (group B) with 10 rats, ③minocycline treatment group (group C) with 10 rats, and ④methylprednisolone treatment group (group D) with 10 rats.METHODS: The animal SCI model was established. Spinal cords of rats in the group A were exposed without injury. Spines of rats in the group B were injured without treatment. Rats of group C was treated with minocycline (50 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection at 1 hour after injury, and 24 hours later another 50 mg/kg was given, and then another 25 mg/kg was injected for 5 days. Methylprednisolone (100 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected 1 hour after injury in the group D. The rats in the group A and the group B were treated with saline, and the method of administration was the same with that of the group C.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Neurofunction evaluation of rats in each group. ②Expressions of Bcl-2 family members (Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, and Bax) were tested with immunocytochemical method. ③Apoptosis index of spinal tissue of rats of each group.RESULTS: A total of 36 rats were involved in the result analysis. ①Neurofunction of rats in the group C increased as compared with the group B (P < 0.05), and there was insignificant difference between group C and the group D (P > 0.05). ②Bcl-2 positive expressive cells in the group C was more than that in the group B, and showed obvious difference between the two groups [(62.53±7.76)%, (35.14±3.70)%,P < 0.05]. There was insignificant difference between expressions of Bcl-xl and Bax in group C as compared with the group B (P > 0.05). ③The number of apoptosis positive cells in the group B was more than that in the group C and D [(44.63± 5.90)%, (32.71± 5.26)%, (34.31± 6.84)%,P < 0.05].CONCLUSION: Minocycline can up-regulate the expression of Bcl-2, and raise the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, so as to inhibit the neural apoptosis of spine,which have protective effect on neurologic function of injured spine.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells are the stem cells that possess the capability for self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation. Umbilical cord is the tissue outside the embryos and would be fallen off after parturition. In addition, it has wide source and no ethical restriction, so it is promising to be the first choice for mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE: To detect the surface markers CD29, CD44, CD49e, CD73, CD90, CD34, CD45, and CD271 of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) prior to and after cryopreservation and resuscitation. METHODS: After isolation and culture, morphology of the primary, P4 and P8 hUCMSCs was observed prior to cryopreservation and after resuscitation. Surface markers CD29, CD44, CD49e, CD73, CD90, CD34, CD45, and CD271 of primary, P4, and P8 hUCMSCs were detected through the use of flow cytometry prior to cryopreservation and after resuscitation RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: hUCMSCs prior to cryopreservation and hUCMSCs of different passages after resuscitation present the same phenotype, i.e., positive for CD29, CD44, CD49e, CD73, and CD90, and negative for CD34, CD45, CD271. These findings suggest that primary hUCMSCs do not present changes in surface markers after cryopreservation and resuscitation.

Objective To study the distribution, morphology and density of CD68+ monocytes/macro,phages in normal human dermis. Methods Normal skin specimens from 6 sites including face, trunk, proximal limbs, distal limbs, palms and soles of 8 adults were collected. The epidermal sheets, horizontal and longitudinal sections of the specimens were stained with an ABC immunoperoxidase procedure with anti-CD68 monoclonal antibodies. Results The CD68+ cells were detected within the superficial dermis with various densities: 562 ? 230/mm2 at distal limbs, 517 ? 162/mm2 at trunk, 509 ? 235/mm2 at face, 507 ? 192/mm2 at palms, 472 ? 138/mm2 at proximal limbs and 361 ? 78/mm2 at soles. Lower densities of CD68+ cells with dendritic morphology were found in the deep (reticular) dermis, and dispersed among collagen bundles. Conclusions There are CD68+ monocytes and macrophages in the superficial dermis, forming a relatively dense network of defense. Such a distribution might indicate the clear polarity of the CD68+ monocytes/macrophages in the dermis, with their direction of defense towards the dermal-epidermal junction.
