BACKGROUND:Recently,some overseas in vitro researches and animal models confirmed that donor leukomonocyte cultured by fludarabine can significantly reduce acute graft-versus-host disease,but the mechanism of action is not clear.OBJECTIVE:To explore immunophenotype changes of donor leukomonocyte cultured with fludarabine in vitro.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The observational cytology experiment was performed at the Department of Hematology,First People's Hospital from July 2007 to January 2008.MATERIALS:Leukomonocytes were collected from four hour healthy persons as donors of allogenic peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Fludarabine was offered by Schering AG,Germany.METHODS:Peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells collected by COBO SPECTRA were washed with RPMI1640 twice.These cells were cultured in RPMI1640 containing 0.10 volume fraction of fetal bovine serum till cell density of 2?109 L-1.1 mL of hematopoietic stem cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline,and added CD3,CD4,CD8,CD44mAb 10 ?L,and added Mouse Ig-G1-FITC/PE as control group.These cells were attenuated with phosphate-buffered saline after incubated for 30 minutes at a low temperature,then detected by flow cytometry.Other cells were put in 24-well cultivate plate,added 8 mmol /L fludarabine as a final concentration for 24 hours(5% CO2,37 ℃).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Studying immunophenotypic changes of donor leukomonocytes by flow cytometry.RESULTS:There was no significant change in the ratio of CD4+CD44+T cells before or after donor leukomonocytes cultured with fludarabine for 24 hours,and proportion of CD8+CD44+T cells declined significantly(P

Objective To explore the impact of recombinant human hepatocyte growth factor (rhHGF) in Celsior (CS) solution on the expression of INF-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 in a rat liver transplan-tation model. Methods After flushed with CS solution with addition of rhHGF (experimental group) or saline (control group), NHBD livers were stored at 4℃; for 16 h.then they were transplanted using the two-cuff technique with arterial reconstruction. The serum levels of INF-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 at lh after reperfusion were detected using ELISA. The INF-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 mRNA in the corresponding liver tissue were determined by RT-PCR. The 7-day survival rate was calculated and the histopatho-logical examination results were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed lower INF-γ level and higher IL-4 and IL-10 levels in serum at 1 h after reperfusion (P<0. 05). The level of INF-γ mRNA in liver tissue was significant decreased at 1 h after reperfusion (P<0. 05) , and the level of IL-4 and IL-10 mRNA was significantly increased in the experimental group (P<0. 05). In experimental group, recipients got a better survival rate and histopathological examination showed a well-preserved hepatic architecture without hepatocyte necrosis, milder sinusoidal and portal congestion. Conclusion Adding exogenous rhHGF in CS solu-tion can protect NHBD livers from ischemia-reperfusion injury and prolong the survival in rats, which might be due to down-regulation of TNF-γ and up-regulation of IL-4 and IL-10.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of repeated trans-cranial magnetic stimulation ( rTMS) in relieving post-stroke depression ( PSD). Methods PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane library, Web of Science, CNKI, WANFANG, and VIP were searched for reports of randomized, controlled trials of rTMS treatment of PSD published before June 2015. Crude standardized mean differences ( SMDs) and odds ratios with 95% confidence in-tervals ( CIs) were calculated for depression intensity and effectiveness rate after treatment using random or fixed effects models. Results Twenty-four studies involving 856 rTMS-treated patients and 802 control patients were in-cluded in the meta-analysis. The results showed that compared with the control group, PSD patients showed significant reductions in depression after rTMS treatment ( SMD=-1.36;95% CI-1.6 to-1.12;P≤0.05) . The total effective-ness rate in the treated group was 85% with a reduction in NIHSS score ( SMD=-0.82;95% CI-1.2 to-0.44;P≤0.05) . Subgroup analysis showed that neither the frequency of rTMS stimulation, the site stimulated, nor time after stroke had a significant influence on the effectiveness of rTMS. Additionally, a few studies reported adverse reactions after rTMS. Conclusion rTMS appears to be a safe and effective therapy for PSD. Further well-controlled trials may elucidate the mechanism underlying the placebo effects of the sham rTMS observed among PSD patients.

Objective To explore the clinical feature of Kimura disease complicated with nephrotic syndrome in children. Methods The clinical data from 4 children with Kimura disease complicated with nephrotic syndrome were retrospectively analyzed. Results In all of the 4 male children, level of serum IgE was increased but level of eosinophils was not increased in peripheral blood. The renal pathological manifestations were different among them. Two cases had acute tubular injury, one case had pathological changes in repeated renal biopsy, and one case had a little of eosinophils infiltration in renal interstitium. All of them were sensitive to oral hormone treatment. Except that one case had no relapse yet in short follow-up period, the other 3 cases had relapsed and all manifested as positive urinary protein without lymphadenectasis. The 3 cases with recurrence were treated by combined immunosuppressive agents, the palindromia of two cases were reduced which were combined with tacrolimus. Conclusion The Kimura disease complicated with nephrotic syndrome in children has a long course and different renal pathological manifestations. It is sensitive to hormone treatment but easy to relapse, and the treatment should be combined with immunosuppressive therapy. Tacrolimus may have the effect on reducing relapse and delaying the progress of renal pathology.

Aim To study the effect of (S) -1, 8-(2-methyl phosphate ethoxy )-6-fluorine-7-( 4-methyl- pi-perazine-1-base )-3-[ S-benzyls-based-4-( for nitroben-zene methylene group amino )-1 , 2 , 4-all triazole-3 base]-quinoline ( 1-H )-4-ketone ( M18 ) on apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma SMMC-7721 cells in vitro. Meth-ods With different concentrations of M18 at different time used to treat SMMC-7721 cells, human breast cancer MB-231cells, human colon cancer HCT-116 cells, human hepatocarcinoma HEPG-2 cells, mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( BMSCs ) in vitro,the inhibition effects of M18 on cell proliferation were examined by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was de-termined using Hoechst 33258 fluorescence staining and TUNEL method. Mitochondrial membrane poten-tial (△ψm ) was measured using a high content screening image system. Protein expression of caspase-3 , p53 and cytochrome C was detected with Western blot analysis. Results Treatment with M18 ( 4 ~32μmol·L-1 ) potently inhibited the proliferation of the cancer cells in time-and dose-dependent manners ( the IC50 value at 24 h in SMMC-7721 cells, MB-231cells,
HCT-116 cells and HEPG-2 cells was 8. 65 μmol · L-1 , 9. 37 μmol · L-1 , 12. 74 μmol · L-1 and 9. 40μmol · L-1 , respectively ) . In contrast, M18 had weak cytotoxicity against BMSCs with IC50 value of 38. 96 μmol·L-1 . Levofloxacin had weak cytotoxicity against SMMC-7721 cells with IC50 value of 735. 10μmol·L-1 . Treatment of SMMC-7721cells with differ-ent concentrations of M18 for 24 h increased the per-centage of the apoptosis cells ( P <0. 05 ) and de-creased the mitochondrial membrane potential. In ad-dition, M18 increased protein expression of p53, caspase-3 and the cleaved activated forms of caspase-3 in SMMC-7721 cells. Treatment of SMMC-7721 cells with M18 significantly increased cytochrome C in the cytosol, and decreased cytochrome C in the mitochon-drial compartment. Conclusion The mitochondrial-dependent pathways are involved in M18 induction of apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells.

BACKGROUND: The degradable poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) has superior mechanical property and biocompatibility.OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the intravascular biocompatibility of PHBHHx in vivo.METHODS: We developed hybrid materials based on decellularized xenogenic vascular scaffolds that were coated with PHBHHx and implanted it into the abdominal aorta of New Zealand rabbits. The decellularized xenogenic pulmonary artery patch without PHBHHx coating served as the control. The implanted patches were determined for the histology, immunofluorescence staining, scanning electron microscopy and calcium contents at 1, 4 and 12 weeks after the surgery.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Hybrid patches exhibited smooth lumen surface without thrombus, the intimal hyperplasia was mild and recellularization was complete; immunofluorescence staining showed that the endothelial cells in the neointima were positive for CD31, with continuous single-layer arrangement, interstitial cells were positive for smooth muscle actin; the calcium content in hybrid patches was obviously lower than that in uncoated patches. PHBHHx shows a remarkable intravascular biocompatibility in vivo and is believed as an ideal candidate for lumen coating of cardiovascular tissue engineering.
