Objective To evaluate the adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rabbits' mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured in demineralized bone matrix coated with OB-Cadherin. Method The second generation of MSC s were seeded onto the OB-Cadherin cover over allogenic frozen-dried demineralized bone matrix(FDBM) and the FDBM without OB-Cadhefin as control, and then both were cultured separably in vitro. The densities of seeded cells, the adhesion rate were measured, and their ALP activity was assayed in order to take it as an index of cell adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. The growth and adhension of MSCs on the FDBM was observed and evaluated microscopically and electronic scanning microscopically. Data were ex-pressed as means and standard deviation (x±s), and were analyzed with SPSS 12.0. Independent-Sanples T-test and Paired t test was used, and P<0.05 indicated statistically significant. Results There was no significant dif-ference in cell proliferation between modified FDBM and unmodified FDBM cultured fot 7, 14, 21 d. ays. After culture for 20 hours, the adhesion rate in the control group was (35.56±1.75)%, the densities of seeded cells were less than 2.7×104. The adhesion rate of cells in the modified group was consistent at 80%, whereas the densities of seeded cells were as high as 5.0×105 compared with control group (P<0.01). After cultured for 20 hours, the efficiency of cell adhesion in the modified FDBM was higher than that in the unmodified FDBM. After cultured for 7 days, the cultured MSC on modified FDBM expressed higher AIP activity, and after cultured for 14 days, the ALP activity on modified FDBM was much higher than that on unmodified FDBM (p<0.01). After cultured for 14 days, osteocalcin immunohistochemical positive rate of modified group was (71±11)%, while that of the control group was(49±8)% with significant difference Conclusion OB-Cadherin enhances cell adhesion to FDBM and promotes MSC to differentiate to osteoblast, but no obvious effects d OB-Cadherin on cell proliferation were observed.

Objective To study the inlfuence factors on detection of activity of four coagulation factors in prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) by several factors. Methods Using Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China (2010) as reference, the activity of four coagulation factors in PCC were investigated by choosing different pre-treatments, different diluents, different salt concentration, different standard human plasma and different company reagents. Results The activity of FII, FVII, FX were decreased and FIX was increased in the condition of adding protamine sulfate, and there were no differences of four coagulation factors whether warm bath in 37 for 15 min or not. However, the differences of four coagulation factors were significant by using deficient plasma, saline, distilled water and commercial dilution buffer(P<0.05). The activity of coagulation factor II, X in 1 mol/L salt concentration of PCC were significantly lower than in 0.25 mol/L(P<0.05), while coagulation factor VII, IX were not. The activity of FII, FVII, FIX, and FX were different by using different standard human plasma to make standard curve. The activity of four coagulation factors existed significant difference(P=0.00) by using SIEMENS company reagents and domestic reagents. Conclusion Choosing different pre-treatments, different dilution buffers, salt concentration, standard human plasma and commercial kits will inlfuence the detection result of coagulation factors.

BACKGROUND:Transplanted neural stem cel s can survive, proliferate and differentiate into neurons and/or glial cel s in the host, thereby promoting partial function recovery in the host.
OBJECTIVE:To study the therapeutic effects of neural stem cel transplantation on cerebral palsy rats. METHODS:Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group, model group and transplantation group. Animal models of cerebral palsy were made in the latter two groups. One week after modeling, rats in the transplantation group were injected 1 mL stem cel suspension (1×105) via the jugular vein, and rats in the control and model group were given the same volume of normal saline. Toe distance, step length and elevated body swing test in rats were detected, and histopathological changes in the rat brain were observed 3 weeks after transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the model group, the toe distance and step length of the front left palm were significantly lower than those of the front right palm (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the toe distance and step length in the transplantation and control groups were significantly increased (P<0.05). In the elevated body swing test, rats in the model group presented with asymmetric swing of the
body, but rats in the other two groups exhibited symmetric swing of the body (P<0.05). Additional y, the ratio of right to left hemispheric areas was significantly higher in the transplantation and control groups compared with the model group (P<0.05). In conclusion, neural stem cel transplantation via the jugular vein can improve brain function and restore motor function in rats with cerebral palsy.

AIM: To observe the effect of Tripterygium glycosides on NOXs-ROS-NLRP3 inflammatory signa-ling pathways in the colon tissue in dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice, and to investi-gate the underlying mechanisms.METHODS: BALB/c mice were used and the mouse model of UC was established by DSS induction.The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (model group, low-, medium-and high-dose Tripterygium glycosides groups, and normal group).The colon tissues were collected 21 d after Tripterygium glycosides gavage.The mRNA expression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 in the colon tissues was detected by real-time PCR.The caspase-1 ex-pression in the colorectal mucosa was observed by immunohistochemical method.ELISA was used to detect the protein le-
vels of IL-1α, TNF-αand IL-13.The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured by chemiluminescence technique, and the consumption rate of NADPH, which was inhibited by DPI, was analyzed to determine the activity of NADPH oxidases (NOXs).The neutrophils were isolated, and the ROS production, NOXs activity, and the mRNA ex-pression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 were also detected.RESULTS: The colon tissues were abnormal with different de-grees in Tripterygium glycosides groups, and histopathological scores were lower than that in model group.In Tripterygium glycosides groups, in addition to the mRNA expression levels of caspase-1 in the colon tissues between normal group and high-dose group, ROS production, NOXs activity and the mRNA expression levels of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 in the colon tissues and colon-isolated neutrophils were lower than those in model group (P <0.05), and higher than those in normal group (P <0.05).The results of pairwise comparison for the efficacy of Tripterygium glycosides administration showed that the above indexes were statistically significant except the mRNA expression levels of caspase-1 between middle-dose group and high-dose group.Tripterygium glycosides administration significantly decreased the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1αand TNF-αin the homogenates of colon tissues in the model mice (P <0.05).No differ-ence of IL-13 expression among the groups was observed.CONCLUSION: Tripterygium glycosides inhibits NOXs-ROS-NLRP3 inflammatory signaling pathways to reduce the expression of IL-1α, TNF-αand other proinflammatory cytokines, and attenuates DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in mice, by which the neutrophils might be involved in the process.
