To observe the possibility of differentiation of bone marrow stromal stem cells of adult dog into myogenic cells. In a hope of providing a new cell line for treatment of myocardial infarction and heart failure. Bone marrow stromal stem cells were isolated by their adherence to plastic in vitro . 5 azacytidine was used to induce stem cells to differentiate into cardiomyotes in the experimental group, and same volume of culture media was used in the control group. The cultured cells were exarnined with inverted contrast phase microscope and immunochemistry. 4 weeks after induction, the shape of most of cultured cells changed from fusiform into rod like contiguration in experimental group, immunohistochemistry showed that the induced cells were positive for Desmin, ? smooth muscle actin, and Troponin I. The shape of cultured cells remained fusiform in control group, immunohistochemistry showed that they were mildly positive for Desmin and ? smooth muscle actin and negative for Troponin I. Adult canine bone marrow stromal stem cells were able to differentiate into myogenic cells after induction in vitro .

Objective To establish a mini pig model suitable for interventional studies in vivo. Methods The endothelia of unilateral renal arteries in 8 purebred Chinese experimental mini pigs(CEMP)was denuded by inflated balloons after the animals were fed with high cholesterol diet for 13 weeks.The CEMP were fed with h high cholesterol diet continuously till the 40th week.The levels of blood lipid panel and creatinine were tested at week 1,14 and 40.Bilateral renal arteries were examined with intravascular uhrasonography at week 14 and 40.The vessel samples were collected at week 40 and stained with haematoxylin-eosin,Masson trichrome technique, oil O and anti-macrophage immunohistological technique. Results Significant differences of blood lipid panel and creatinine were found between week 1 and week 40.Focal ischemic renal injury could be observed pathologically.Renal arteries of CEMP were suitable for interventional procedure such as angiography and intravascular ultrasonography.Cross-sectional information of vessels could be provided clearly by intravascular ultrasonography and the intimamedian thickness of injured renal arteries was much thicker than that of non-injured ones[(0.89±0.03)mm vs (0.30±0.02)mm,P＜0.05]as evidenced by this diagnostic technique.Pathological findings demonstrated the atheroselerotic profiles of the injured renal arteries.Fibrous and fibro-fatty plaques were the main pathologic types in this CEMP model. Conclusions An animal model with renal arterial atherosclerosis mimicking the progression of atheroselerotic renovaseular disease,which is suitable for interventional procedure is established successfully.Intravascular ultasonography may have potential clinical prospect on the evaluation of atherosclerotic renovaseular disease.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of three types of anti-poliovirus neutralizing antibodies and anti-hepatitis A virus (HAV) IgG antibody in children who were immunized with inactivated enterovirus 71 (EV71) vaccine (human diploid cell).Methods Serum samples were collected from the subjects immunized with inactivated EV71 vaccine.Neutralizing antibodies against EV71 and poliovirus were detected by micro-cytopathic effect neutralization test.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect IgG antibody against HAV.Results The geometric mean titers (GMTs) of anti-EV71 neutralizing antibody increased to 4.85 following the first-dose injection of inactivated EV71 vaccine.A significant increase of GMTs (up to 64.37) could be observed 28 days after the second-dose vaccination.Meanwhile, results of the dynamic monitor showed that there were slight fluctuations in the neutralizing antibodies against three types of poliovirus on day 28 (28 days after the first-dose vaccination) compared with those on day 0 (before vaccination) (P<0.05);types Ⅰ and Ⅲ anti-poliovirus neutralizing antibodies on day 56 (28 days after the second-dose vaccination) remained slightly different from those on day 0 (P<0.05), but type Ⅱ anti-poliovirus neutralizing antibody on day 56 had restored to normal level (P>0.05).The level of anti-HAV IgG antibody was stable and no significant difference was found during the observation period (P>0.05).Conclusion This study shows that inactivated EV71 vaccine has no impact on anti-HAV IgG antibody in Children during the two-dose vaccination and in anti-EV71 antibody-producing period, but has slight influence on the anti-poliovirus antibodies.In general, changes in antibody profile do not affect the clinical efficacy of immune response.
