BACKGROUND:Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) can strongly mobilize bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). It has been proved that G-CSF has the ability to mobilize both HSCs and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of G-CSF in mobilizing autologous bone marrow stem cells entering cerebral infarction zone on ischemic cerebral infarction in rats.DESIGN:A randomized grouping design, animal experiment.SETYING: Center for Stem Cell Biology and Tissue Engineering of Sun Yat-sen University.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out at the Animal Experimental Department of Sun Yat-sen University (North District) and Center for Stem Cell Biology and Tissue Engineering of Sun Yat-sen University from September 2004 to January 2005. Totally 200 male Wistar rats were chosen and randomly divided into autologous bone marrow stem cells transplantation group and control group, with 100 rats in each group.METHODS:Rats of two groups were made cerebral infarction models by line occlusion. Transplantation group introduced intraperitoneal injection of 60 μg/kg G-CSF one hour after operation. The control group introduced intraperitoneal injection of saline of the same dosage at the same time. ①All rats were weighed before operation and 24 hours, 48 hours, one week after operation to evaluate body mass loss rate. They were also given neurological grading. Grading criteria: Grade 0 is normal. Grade Ⅰ is that the right forelimb bends. Grade Ⅱ is that the right forelimb grasped weakly when the tail is lifted. Grade Ⅲ is that the rat has no directivity in automatic action and circumrotates to right when the tail is lifted. Grade Ⅳ is that the rat circumrotates to right in automatic action. ②15 rats in each group were selected. 24 hours, 48 hours, one week after operation, we opened the skulls, took out the brain and used 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazoluim Chloride (TTC) staining to measure infarction volume, hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining to observe the pathological change , and immunohistochemistry to detect the infiltration of CD34+ cells.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Body mass loss rate, neurological grade,infarction volume, pathological change and infiltration of CD34+ cells.RESULTS: Totally 180 of 200 rats were successfully made cerebral infarction model. 48 rats died in seven days after operation. As a result, 132 rat models were alive and 120 rats were randomly selected for data analysis. ①Measurement of body mass and neurological grading: There was no significant difference in body mass loss rate between two groups 24 hours and 48 hours after operation (P ＜ 0.05);one week after operation, body mass loss rate was significantly lower in transplantation group [(10.5±8.2)%]than in control group [(17.8±7.1)%] (P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in neurology grade between two groups. ②Infarction volume:Infarction volume and the percent of infarction volume in the whole brain in control group were all higher than those in the transplantation group,with significant difference [ (251.69±52.77) mm3 vs(145.72±28.05)mm3,(17.00±2.69)% vs (9.90±1.62)% ,P ＜ 0.01]. ③Pathological change: 24 hours after operation, the brain tissue of two groups got classical pathological change of cerebral ischemia infarction. There were some mono-nucleus cells infiltrating in transplantation group while none in control group. 48 hours after operation, most nerve cells disappeared and the glial cells were degenerated. There were many mono-nucleus cells infiltrating in transplantation group while a few in control group. One week after operation, tissues in the infarction zone were liquescent with many monocaryons and lymphocytes infiltrating around them in control group. In transplantation group, part of the infarction zone was plerosised through proliferation of newly born capillaries and glial cells and inflammatory cells were not evident. ④Immunohistochemistry: CD34+ mono-nucleus cells were detected in the ischemic territory in transplantation group 24 hours after operation while none in the brain of other side and control group. There were CD34+ mono-nucleus cells and pyramidate cells with mutations in transplantation group 48 hours after operation while none in the brain of other side and control group.CONCLUSION:The stem cell transplantation in situ therapy, which employs self-marrow stem cells mobilized by G-CSF can relieve the ischemic degree and reduce the infarction volume.

AIM:To investigate the potential of differentiatng into myocytes of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)-mobilized CD34 + cells. METHODS: Three hours after intraperitoneal injecction of isoprenaline(ISO) to develop acute ischemic model, rats' bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells were mobilized to the site of myocardial infarction by G-CSF. The techniques of immunohistochemisty and HE stain were used to detect the infiltration of CD34 + cells and the regeneration of myocytes in the infarct zones. RESULTS: 24 hours after administration of ISO , a large amount of infiltrative monocytes and regenerative myocytes which were CD34 positive expression could be found in the infarct zones of the G-CSF treatment group, while majority of the infiltrative inflammatory cells in control group were neutrophils and there was no infiltrative cells and myocytes which were CD34 positive expressio, 2 weeks after administration of ISO, there were a plenty of scar in control group, but not in the G-CSF treatment group. CONCLUSION: G-CSF-mobilized CD34 + cells possess the potential to differentiate into myocytes and it may be used in treating acute myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the time and implant selection in conversion from external fixation to internal fixation of tibial shaft fracture.Methods Data of 57 cases of tibial shaft fracture fixed externally followed by internal fixation from February 2003 to February 2012 were analyzed.Internal fixation (intramedullary nails or plates) initiated within 2 weeks (Group A,n =.35) and over 2 weeks (Group B,n =22) were compared in outcomes.Results One infection (3％) and four poor bone healing (11％) were observed in Group A.Five infections (23％) and three poor bone healing (14％) occurred in Group B.For intramedullary nail fixation,no infection was observed in Group A but infection rate of44％ was found in Group B.For plate internal fixation,infection rate was 8％ for both groups.Conclusions The conversion from internal fixation to internal fixation had better start within 2 weeks,with better resuhs,lower rate of infection and safer in comparison with that over 2 weeks.In addition,pin-tract infection is the high risk factor for infection after the conversion of the fixation.

Objective: To explore the effect of caveolin-1 ( Cav-1 ) on lipopolysaccharide ( LPS )-induced airway mucous hypersecretion.Methods:16HBE human airway epithelial cells with Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) inhibitor,nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB) inhibitor,Cav-1 siRNA or plasmid pr-treated,further stimulated with LPS.The cells were divided into 8 groups:the control group, the LPS group,the LPS+Cav-1 expression group,the LPS+Cav-1 siRNA group,the LPS +negative siRNA group,the LPS +empty vector group,the LPS +E5564 group, the LPS +PDTC group.Cell survival rate was detected by MTT assay.Transcription level of mucin(MUC)5AC was evaluated with RT-PCR.The level of MUC5AC protein was measured by ELISA.The expression of TLR4,Cav-1 and phosphorylated IκBα( p-IκBα) were measured by Western blot.MUC5AC protein changes were observed by immunofluorescence and confocal laser technology.Results:LPS remarkably increased MUC5AC,as well as TLR4,p-IκBα(P<0.05).These effects were prevented by E5564 and PDTC.We found that the overexpression of Cav-1 further enhanced the expression of TLR4, p-IκBαand MUC5AC.However,downregulation of Cav-1 inhibited the expression of TLR4,p-IκBα,MUC5AC.Conclusion: Cav-1 enhances LPS-induced MUC5AC hypersecretion through TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of furanodiene(FDE),a diterpene derived from the medicinal plant Zedoary,on apoptosis of human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells induced in vitro. METHODS MGC-803 cells were treated with FDE 46.29~740.74μmol·L-1 for 24,48 and 72 h,and the cell viability was detected with MTT assay. Cell morphology was observed by light microscopy and Hoechst33342 staining. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptotic rate and cell cycle. Rh123 staining and fluorescence probe DCFH-DA were employed to detect the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and reactive oxygen species(ROS). RESULTS MTT Results showed that FDE 46.29-740.74μmol · L-1 exhibited significantly higher cytotoxicity to gastric cancer MGC-803 cells. IC50 for MGC-803 of 24,48 and 72 h treatment was 347.91,257.41 and 101.01μmol·L-1,respectively. Treatment with FDE 92.58-370.32μmol·L-1 for 24 h also caused significant morphological changes in MGC-803 cells. AnnexinⅤ-FITC/PI double staining showed that the apoptotic rate increased after FDE 92.58-370.32μmol·L-1 treatment for 24 h(P<0.05). FDE enabled MGC-803 cell cycle arrest in S phase. DCFH-DA staining showed that FDE resulted in an increase in intracellular ROS levels(P<0.05) when PDE concentration was 370.37μmol·L-1(P<0.05). MMP decreased after FDE treatment when PDE concen?tration was 370.37μmol·L-1(P<0.05). CONCLUSION FDE Possesses potent tumor selected toxicity and can induce apoptosis of MGC-803 cells through cell cycle arresting,which is related to inhibition of DNA biosynthesis.

Objective To examine outcomes of superficial vein stripping for vein varicosis caused by combination of superficial and deep venous reflux and the effect on deep vein reflux. Methods From January 2004 to December 2006, twenty patients (22 lower extremities) with combined superficial and deep venous reflux were enrolled for evaluation, patients with superficial venous reflux alone worked as controls.All patients underwent superficial vein stripping and followed up for 2 years. Venous clinic severity score (VCSS) and color duplex ultrasound test were used to evaluate the change of clinic symptoms and valve reflux of deep veins. Results Preoperative VCSS of superficial and deep vein reflux group and superficial vein reflux group was 7.1 ± 2. 9 and 6. 6 ± 2. 0 respectively (P = 0. 44). At two years after operation the VCSS was 2. 3 ± 1.2 and 1.8 ± 0. 8 respectively without significant statistic differences, whereas comparing postoperative VCSS with individual preoperative parameters there was a significant decrease (P <0. 01). In combined superficial and deep vein group, deep venous reflux reduced in 7 limbs, progressed in 4 limbs, no change in 12 limbs. While in superficial reflux alone group, deep venous reflux occurred in 4 limbs.Conclusions Superficial vein stripping effectively improves symptoms of great saphenous vein varicosis of lower extremity caused by combination of superficial and deep vein reflux without a significant effect on the stares of deep vein reflux.

Objective To evaluate the different value of color Doppler ultrnsonography and Doppler vascular examinations in diagnosis for deep venous thrombosis(DVT)in the lower extremities.Methotis Imaging of color Doppler ultrasound scanning was employed as diagnostic criteria for DVT on 178 lower extremities of 146 suspected patients,as compared to the result by Doppler vascular examinations.Results Color Doppler ultrasonograph showed hish accuracy in diagnosis for DVT,as compared to that by Doppler vascular examination with 97.9 percent(142/145)positive for the femoral and popliteal veins and relatively lower positive diagnostic vallie for thrombosis in the inferior vena cava,iliac vein,anterior tibial vein,posterior tibial vein and calf veins.Conclusions Color Doppler ultrasonography is superior to Doppler vascular examination in determining DVT of the lower extremities and can be used as a main diagnostic method for it.Doppler vasculiar examination can be used as an initial screening method for DVT and deep venous angiography should not be used as a routine diagnostic measure for it.
