Lacking of objective referential data resources,current domestic psychotherapeutic practice is mainly based on verbal communications and associated subjective means,which elucidates the limitations to its effectiveness including discrepancies between individual patients and low repeatability.With modern technological advancement,psychotherapeutic devices have been invented to change this situation.This paper gives review of the development in this field,and proposes a practical categorization method.Besides,further development of this area is prospected.

Objective Mitotic spindle and midbody are both microtubule-based temporary structures during cell growth and play essential roles in mitosis.The purpose of this study was to establish a mature and efficient method to extract mitotic spindle and midbody.Methods Through the cell cycle synchronization method,mitotic spindle or midbody was made appear inside cells.Low permeability swelling and glycerol gradient centrifugation principles were then used to extract spindle and midbody.Results By Western Blot and immunofluorescence staining,the extracts were identified as mitotic spindle and midbody.Conclusions The successful extraction of mitotic spindle and midbody from synchronized Hela cells will provide foundation for identifying the proteins located in cell during mitosis,and be of great significance to the study of molecular regulation mechanisms of mitosis and tumorigenesis.

Objective Mannitol-poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (M-PLGA),a star-shaped biodegradable polymer,was synthesized with the intent in this research,to provide novel nanoformulation for cervical cancer chemotherapy.Methods The novel star-shaped copolymer was prepared by ring-opening polymerization,and characterized by NMR.The docetaxel-loaded M-PLGA nanoparticles,prepared by modified nano-precipitation method,were observed to be near-spherical shape with narrow size distribution.Results The CLSM results showed the uptake level of M-PLGA NPs was higher than PLGA NPs in Hela cells.A significantly higher level of cytotoxicity was achieved by docetaxel-loaded M-PLGA NPs than that of commercial Taxotere and docetaxel-loaded PLGA NPs,indicating that the star-shaped biodegradable polymer M-PLGA could be superior to the linear polymer PLGA as a drug carrier.The study on drug loading and encapsulation efficiency also proved that star-shaped M-PLGA could carry higher level of drug than linear polymer,therefore could be more efficient for cancer treatment.Conclusions In conclusion,the star-shaped M-PLGA copolymer may be used as a potential and promising drug-loaded biomaterial applied in developing novel nanoformulations for cervical cancer therapy.

Objective To explore the role of MMP-9 in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and to promote rMSCs migration.Methods To investigate the effect of MMP-9 on the permeability of BBB,an in vitro model of BBB was established and performed Transwell experiments.To observe the pathologic changes of the cerebral cortex,rat brains from Sham treated group,HIBD group,MMP-9 treated group and TIMP-1 (intervention) treated group at different time points (0.5,1,3,7,14 d) were prepared and stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin and quantified the brain water content.Permeability of BBB examined by EB values measurement.MMP-9 protein level of rat cortex was detected by Western Blot.The number of Brdu labeled rMSCs in the rat cerebral cortex of each group was quantified by Immunohistochemistry (IHC).Results Transwell experiments results showed that migration of rMSCs increased remarkably in hypoxic condition compared to that of normal control (P＜0.01).The number of rMSCs migrated in the MMP-9 treated group was much more than that of negative control group and TIMP-1 group (P＜0.01).The results of pathology showed that compared to HIBD group,brain water content and the permeability of the BBB were increased in MMP-9 treated group but reduced in TIMP-1 treated one.The expression of MMP-9 protein in MMP-9 treated group was reached the peak at 3 d point,which was higher than that of HIBD group and TIMP-1 group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The quantity of Brdu labeled rMSCs crossed BBB in MMP-9 treated group was extremely higher than that of HIBD group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusions The expression level of MMp-9 protein was improved after hypoxic-ischemic.MMP-9 could facilitate the migration of rMSCs through vitro BBB and control the opening of BBB,which indicate that MMP-9 may facilitate the migration of rMSCs through BBB into brain.

Objective To construct stable chromokinesin KIF4A knockdown gastric cancer cell lines (SGC-7901) and study the mitotic spindle midzone formation in these cells.Methods Short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression plasmids of pGPU-GFP-shKIF4A,pGPU-GFP-shNC specific targetting KIF4A and non-sense DNA sequences were constructed respectively and then transfected into SGC-7901 cells.The cells were cultured in selection medium containing G418 to form single clones.Stable KIF4A shRNA expressing SGC-7901 cells were picked up under an fluoroscent microscope and identified by Western Blot.The spindle midzone in these cells was analyzed after immunofluorescence staining.Results Three cell lines stably expressing KIF4A shRNA and one with shNC were successfully constructed.Compare to the control cell line,KIF4A knockdown cell lines represented remarkable elongation of spindle midzone and the less the KIF4A,the longer spindle midzone.Conclusions Stable KIF4A knockdown SGC-7901 cell lines were successfully constructed that can serve for further study of KIF4A ' s function and its role in proliferation and development of gastric cancer.

Regenerative therapies in the musculoskeletal system are effective approaches based on the application of suitable cells,biomaterials and cell factors considering age,disease,target tissue,and several environmental factors.Significant development has been undertaken in the last decade,especially in the field of particular multi-potential adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for regenerative therapies.However,clinical application of such therapies remains in study.In the clinical arena,autologous cells have been harvested,processed,and readministered according to protocols distinct for the target application.As reviewed in this paper,such applications range from simple single-step approaches,such as direct injection of unprocessed or concentrated blood or bone marrow aspirates,to fabrication of engineered constructs by seeding of natural or synthetic scaffolds with cells which proliferated from autologous tissues and propagated under good manufacturing practice conditions (for example,autologous chondrocyte implantation).However,only few of the therapies have been applied in clinic,and none of these treatments has become a standard treatment for an orthopaedic disease up to now.In summary,this review presents the scientific background,current status,and implications of clinical application of MSCs in the musculoskeletal system and provides perspectives for future developments.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a strong self-renewal capacity and multi-differentiation potential,which make them become ideal seed cells of tissue repair and target cells of gene therapy.However,the labeling and tracing method of MSCs transplanted in vivo is the hot spot and difficult problem of the current research.At present,the commonly used tracer methods of MSCs include fluorescence dye labeling,molecular marker,imaging marker technology.This paper summarized the advantages and disadvantages of these tracer methods.
