Objective To investigate changes in cerebral white matter after transplantation of neural stem like cells (MS-NSCs) derived from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, in rats with severe acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Method Forty Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200 ~ 250 g were divided randomly into 4 groups: the normal control group, the poisoned control group, the BMSCs transplanted group and the MS-NSCs transplanted group (each group 6 rats). BMSCs were harvested from whole bone marrow in vitro, and then differentiated into MS-NSCs under the cock tail of certain growth factors, followed by BrdU labelling. The seed cells were infused into the brain via the left internal carotid artery 24 hours post poisoning. Remodelling of cerebral white matter was assessed using H & E staining, myelin staining and immunohistochemitry assay after 5 weeks later. Results Cellular transplantation improved the compactness and orderliness of cerebral white matter. BrdU-positive cells were found in the focal insulted areas of sparse white matter; and greater numbers of Brdu-Positive ceus were observed in the MS-NSCs group thar in the BMSCs group (P <0.05). Conclusions MS-NSCs participates in the remodeling of cerebral white matter in rats with severe acute carbon monoxide poisoning, and shows promising evidence as seed cells transplanted for brain tissue regeneration.

Objective To investigate cerebral functional remodeling of the rat with severe acute carbon monoxide poisoning transplanted with neural stem-like cells derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MS-NSCs) . Method Forty Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200 ~ 250 g were divided randomly into 4 groups: the normal control group, the poisoning control group, the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) transplantation group and the MS-NSCs transplantation group. BMSCs were harvested from whole bone marrow in vitro, then were differentiated into MS-NSCs under certain growth factors cocktail,and were followed by BrdU labelling.Twenty-four hours after poisoning, the seed cells were infused into brain via left internal carotid and the functional remodeling of cerebrum was assessed by neurological severity score(NSS) and Morris water maze(MWM) tests. Results There was no significant differences in NSS test between groups after transplantation. However, the differences in MWM test were very significant between 5 weeks after transplantation ( P < 0.01). Conclusions Transplantation of MS-NSCs may improved cerebral function of rats after severe acute CO poisoning. Moreover, the cultured and idfferentiated MS-NSCs induced in vitro preliminarily is potentially more efficient than directly transplanted BMSCs without culture and differentiation.

Objective To study the echocardiographic characteristics and its diagnosis value on congenital supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) in children. Methods Thirty-one patients with SVAS diagnosed by multiplane echocardiography were enrolled in the study. Their echocardiographic characteristics were compared with cardiac catheterization, operation, and gene detection results. Echocardiographic changes were mainly observed in aortic valve, supravalve, descending aortic arch, pulmonary artery valve, main pulmonary artery and its branches,and coronary artery. Results Of the 31 patients,26 had hourglass type SVAS,4 hypoplastic type,and 1 membranous type; 2 patients had extremely mild stenosis (defined as a Doppler gradient <25 mm Hg) ,20 mild (25~49 mm Hg) ,5 moderate (50~75 mm Hg) ,and 4 severe C>75 mm Hg) ones. Nineteen patients were diagnosed with Williams syndrome by gene detection. Three patients were associated with aortic valve stenosis including one missed at the initial diagnosis; 10(32.26%) patients with pulmonary stenosis, including pulmonary valve stenosis in 6, left and right pulmonary artery stenosis in 3 ,and branch stenosis in 1:6 patients with coronary stenosis. Conclusions The sternal border and five chamber apical views are the best to detect SVAS. Williams syndrome patients are prone to SVAS.Pulmonary stenosis echocardiography forms a great proportion of the SVAS patients. Routine examination is necessary for coronary stenosis in cases of SVAS.
