Objective To observe the difference in anticoagulant ability of endothelial cells from different sources.Methods Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSCs)were cultured,purified,and expanded by Ficoll-Paque density gradient centrifugation and adherent culture in vitro.Then they were induced and differentiated in medium with 10 ?g/L VEGF.After 7 days,Von Willebrand factor(VWF)of the cells were identified by immunohistochemistry.At last,the major anticoagulant gene expression of the vascular endothelial-like cells derived from BMMSCs and the human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)was detected and compared by reverse transcriptase PCR(RT-PCR).Results Though BMMSCs can successfully differentiate into vascular endothelial-like cells in vitro,they fail to express mRNA of the major anticoagulant gene.However,HUVECs can express the mRNA of these genes.Conclusion BMMSCs can differentiate into vascular endothelial-like cells in vitro,but their anticoagulant ability is inferior to HUVECs.

AIM:Repair of trachea is disturbing the surgeon. Tissue engineering technology will probably resolve this problem. Seed cell is one of the key factors in engineered tracheal cartilage construction. This study investigated the feasibility of constructing tissue-engineered cartilage from porcine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) cultured and induced in vitro using tissue engineering technique. METHODS:The experiment was performed in the Central Laboratory of Peking Union Medical College Hospital between October 2006 and May 2007. ①By density gradient centrifugation,the MSCs were isolated and purified from porcine bone marrow. The MSCs had been cultured and induced in the defined medium mainly including transforming growth factor-?1,and then the type Ⅱ collagens were detected by immunohistochemical assay. The induced MSCs were seeded onto polyglycolic acids(PGA) scaffold as experimental group,and PGA scaffold were implanted into subcutaneous tissue as control group. The cell-scaffold construct was wrapped around a silicon tube(0.4 cm in diameter) and implanted into subcutaneous tissue of porcine. All specimens were harvested after in vivo culture for 6,8 and 10 weeks and evaluated by gross view,histology,and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS:①The MSCs were obtained by density gradient centrifugation method,and abundant seed cells were obtained after culture and amplification. ②The MSCs differentiated towards chondrocyte when cultured in the specific medium in vitro and were verified by the positive result of collagen type Ⅱ through immunohistochemistry. ③After implanted into subcutaneous tissue for 6,8 and 10 weeks,the cell-scaffold formed a tubular cartilage,which was very similar to normal porcine tracheal cartilage in both gross view and histology. And the result of collagen type Ⅱ through immunohistochemistry was positive. CONCLUSION:The in vivo and vitro cultured MSCs from porcine bone marrow can generate tissue-engineered cartilage under chondrogenic induction.

Objective To label human VEGF targeted bevacizumab (avastin) with 111In and to evaluate the application of 111 In?DTPA?avastin SPECT imaging for tumor diagnosis. Methods DTPA?avastin was prepared by coupling with a bifunctional chelating agent, and then labeled with 111 In to obtain 111 In?DTPA?avastin. The stability and molecular integrity of the labeled radiotracer were studied. Human hepatoma cell ( BEL7404) bearing nude mice tumor model was employed for tumor targeting evaluation. Gamma imaging was acquired after intravenous injection of 18.5 MBq probe. At the end of the observation, animals were sac?rificed for bio?distribution study. Results 111 In?DTPA?avastin tracer was synthesized and purified to a?chieve a radiochemical purity yield above 98% and specific activity up to 185 GBq/nmol. Its stability in 5%BSA was optimal, and the radiochemical purity after incubation for 96 h was over 90%. Gamma imaging re?sults showed that the tracer possessed definite tumor targeting property. Its biodistribution was consistent with that of normal in vivo antibody metabolism while possessing a good tumor?targeting property with a relatively high uptake of (3.8±0.8) %ID/g in tumor tissues 96 h after injection. Conclusions 111 In?DTPA?avastin tracer has good physicochemical properties, in vivo stability and good VEGF targeted binding. 111 In?DTPA?avastin has potential to be a new molecular probe for SPECT imaging.

Background and purpose:Checkpiont targeted immunotherapy in the field of solid tumor therapy has huge potential, triggering a boom in the study of immune targeted drugs. A study has provided a basis for the follow-up study of ipilimumab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients. This study counted the adverse event statistics that ipilimumab or placebo combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin as first-line therapy for the treatment of stage Ⅳ or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma to evaluate the safety of ipilimumab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:This study selected 13 patients with ECOG scores≤1 and stage ⅣA or ⅣB squamous cell carcinoma in the Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong Uni-versity. Randomized controlled double blind trial was used in this study. The patients of experimental group were treated with ipilimumab combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin, while the patients of control group were treated with the placebo combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin. Adverse events (AEs) were counted in the process of treatment.Results:The most common AEs were the 1/2 grade AEs. Immune-related AEs (irAEs) reported in the ipilimumab group included level Ⅰ of diarrhea and pruritus, level Ⅱ of rash and pruritus and level Ⅲ of hypophysitis.Conclusion:The side effects of ipilimumab were mild, tolerable and manageable.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) and X-ray plain film in congenital scoliosis.Methods 40 cases with congenital scoliosis were undergone MSCT scan,the imaging data were reconstructed with maximum intensity projection(MIP),multiple planar reconstruction(MPR),surface shaded display(SSD) and surface volume rendering(SVR),the applied value of these various reconstructed images were analysed comparatively with X-ray plain film.Results Based on the preoperative X-ray plain films,the spinal formation failure,segmentation failure and mixed failure of spine were found in 18,15 and 7 cases respecitvely.However MSCT scan showed that 13 cases had formation failure,12 cases had segmentation failure and 15 cases were mixed failure of spine,and in combination with spinal bifida in 6,rib deformity in 8 and bony ridge inside vertebral canal in 4.The relative features of congenital scoliosis could be comprehensively evaluated by SVR images.Conclusion The reformatted images of MSCT is remarkedly superior to conventional X-ray images in judging the classification and area of spinal deformity accurately.

Objective To study the mechanism of rats' neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferation in vitro after repetitive magnetic stimulation (rMS).Metbods The bilateral hippocampus of neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats (＜3 d) was taken out to culture NSCs in vitro.The OD value was evaluated with Cell Counting Kit-8 (cck-8) and cell growth curve was generated.The NSCs cultured were divided into a control group and an rMS group.rMS (3 days,once per day) was applied on p2 NSCs at 10 Hz,50％ machine output and 200 pulses per day.One hour after the last rMS,the cck-8 was used to test the cell proliferation,and the western blotting was applied to detect the protein expression of c-fos and p-CREB.Results The nestin fluorescent staining of p2 neurospheres was proved to be neural stem cells.The growth curve indicated that their viability reached the peak on the third day.The OD value in the rMS group (0.309 ± 0.043) showed a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05) after rMS compared with the control group (0.256± 0.043).So did the c-fos and p-CREB protein expression between the two groups (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The rMS at 10 Hz can promote rats' NSCs proliferation in vitro,which may be related to the increased expression of p-CREB and c-fos after rMS.

Objective To study any effect of repetitive magnetic stimulation (rMS) on the differentiation and apoptosis of rat neural stem cells in vitro.Methods The bilateral hippocampus of a 3-day old Sprague-Dawley rat was used to culture neural stem cells (NSCs) in vitro.P2 NSCs were differentiated to neurons or astrocytes in differentiation medium and then divided into a control group in which the NSCs differentiated naturally,and an rMS group in which 1000 impulses/day of rMS were applied at 10 Hz once a day for 7 days at 50％ of maximum output.One hour after the last stimulation,immunofluorescence was used to analyze the ratio of neurons and astrocytes,and Western blotting was employed to evaluate the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP),β-Ⅲ tubulin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).NSCs which had differentiated for 7 days without stimulation were then selected and divided into an apoptosis group and an apoptosis+rMS group.The same rMS protocol was applied to the latter group 1h after the apoptosis,and 4h later flow cytometry (anexin V-FITC) was employed to evaluate the apoptosis ratio.Bcl-2,Bax and caspase-3 protein expression were analyzed using Western blotting.Results There were no significant differences between the control and rMS groups in the proportion of NSCs differentiating to neurons or in β-Ⅲ tubulin,GFAP or BDNF protein expression.The cell apoptosis rate of the apoptosis+rMS group was significant lower than in the apoptosis group.Caspase-3,Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression were also significantly different between the two groups.Conclusion rMS at 10Hz for 7 days has no effect on the differentiation of NSCs,but it has a protective effect on neural cells and decreases the apoptosis rate.
