The possibility of rats mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) modified with murine hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated 2 (mHCN2) gene as biological pacemakers in vitro was studied. The cultured MSCs were transfected with pIRES2-EGFP plasmid carrying enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene and mHCN2 gene. The identification using restriction enzyme and sequencing indicated that the mHCN2 gene was inserted to the pIRES2-EGFP. Green fluorescence could be seen in MSCs after transfection for 24-48 h. The expression of mHCN2 mRNA and protein in the transfected cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, and the quantity of mHCN2 mRNA and protein expression in transfected MSCs was 5.31 times and 7.55 times higher than that of the non-transfected MSCs respectively (P<0.05, P<0.05). I(HCN2) was recorded by whole-cell patch clamp method. The effect of Cs(+), a specific blocker of pacemaker current, was measured after perfusion by patch clamp. The results of inward current indicated that there was no inward current recording in non-transfected MSCs and a large voltage-dependent inward and Cs(+)-sensitive current activated on hyperpolarizations presented in the transfected MSCs. I(HCN2) was fully activated around -140 mV with an activation threshold of -60 mV. The midpoint (V(50)) was -95.1+/-0.9 mV (n=9). The study demonstrates that mHCN2 mRNA and protein can be expressed and the currents of HCN2 channels can be detected in genetically modified MSCs. The gene-modified MSCs present a novel method for pacemaker genes into the heart or other electrical syncytia.

Objective: To develop the ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry ( UPLC-MS/MS ) for the determination of perfluorocarboxylic acids ( PFCAs ) in fish. Methods: The fish samples were extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether and purified by WAX columns. The WAX cartridges were rinsed with methanol and 25 mmol/L ammonium acetate, and the target compound residues were eluted with 0.5% ammonia methanol and then redissolved with 50% methanol aqueous solution after nitrogen blowing to nearly dry. Nine kinds of PFCAs were simultaneously quantified by UPLC-MS/MS with 1 mmol/L ammonium acetate-methanol solution as the mobile phase. Results: The extraction was separated well in UPLC BEH C18 column. There were good linear correlations of nine kinds of PFCAs in the range of 1.0-200.0 ng/mL, with the coefficients all more than 0.99. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.06-0.19 μg/kg and 0.19-0.62 μg/kg, respectively. The recovery rates were 70.08%-117.24% at different spiked levels ( 5.0, 25.0, 50.0 μg/kg ), and the relative standard deviations were 2.31%-19.68%. Conclusion Through optimizing the pretreatment conditions, the mobile phase of liquid chromatography and the detection conditions of mass spectrometry, the UPLC-MS/MS could meet the monitoring requirements of PFCAs in fish.

The regulatory effect of CD3 McAb on the human fetal thymocyte proliferative response toTPA was investigated.It was shown that the CD3 McAb couldn't induce human fetal thymo-cyte proliferative response,but suppressed PHA-induced human fetal thymocyte proliferativeresponse and promoted TPA-induced proliferative response,in a dose dependent manner.Ex-ogenous rHuIL—2,but not rHuIL—1 ,could enhance the proliferative response to CD3 McAb.These results have significances for understanding the expression of CD3 antigen and it's func-tions.

ObjectiveTo analyze therapeutic effects of conservative treatment and the causes of malunion of intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients, and try to find the way to deal with the problems. MethodsFifteen cases aged 75 to 101 years with intertroehanterie fracture treated conservatively were included.Their average age was 88.8 years.All fractures were classified according to Evens-Jensen.Because of the medical complication or other reasons, they were conservatively treated by methods of traction, wearing shoes et al. X-ray examination was taken at regular time and their final functions were assessed. ResultsTwo cases were died 1-3 months after admission, and the fractures were only partially healed. The remaining thirteen cases got complete healing. Among the fifteen cases, the deformity did not happen in 4 cases of IA without fixation and 1 case of IIB with bone traction. All others got the deformity of varus, shorting and external rotation in different degree, which interfered the lower extremity motor function. ConclusionsThe fracture position not kept and fixed satisfactorily during treatment would lead to more joint deformity and deteriorated hip joint function for the displaced intertroehanterie fractures in elderly patients.

BACKGROUND:The poly-lactic acid and its ramifications have many advantages, such as eligible biocompatibility,nontoxicity of degradation product, easy procession and suitable intensity. Thus, they have been widely used in bone tissue engineering.OBJECTIVE: To study the cellular biocompatibility and in vitro adhesion of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold and bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSCs) so as to provide a basis for preparation a PLGA scaffold that can load many cytokines.DESIGN: Contrast observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in Key Laboratory of Tissue Construction and Detection of Guangdong Province from September 2004 to June 2005. One New Zealand healthy male rabbit (2 months old, 1.5-2.0 kg weight)was adopted in this study. Experimental materials: PLGA scaffold was obtained from Institute of Polymer Science in Sun Yat-sen University); beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) was supplied by AO Company (Switzerland).METHODS: Bone marrow was aspirated from the New Zealand rabbit. Mononuclear cells were harvested using whole bone marrow culturing, then were induced and amplified in the conditional culture medium. BMSCs were inoculated onto the PLGA and β-TCP at a concentration of 1 ×109 L-1, while those in the medium without materials were taken as blank control group. The development of implanted cells and the adhesion between cells and materials were observed with phase contrast microscope and scanning electron microscope. The proliferation and cycle of cells were tested with MTT method and flow cytometry.MATN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Phase contrast microscope was used to observe the development of cells and the adherence between cells and materials at a fixed time every day. ②Cellular development on days 1, 3, 6 was observed by scanning electron microscope. ③Cellular proliferation was detected by MTT method. ④Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was determined by chemical colorimetry.⑤Flow cytometer test: The effects of PLGA and β-TCP on the cellular cycle, content of DNA and polyploid levels of BMSCs were investigated. The DNA index of the candidate cells was also calculated.RESULTS: ①Phase contrast microscope observation: In the blank control group, cells culture for 7-10 days presented a larger number of shuttle-shaped, and no contact inhibition effect was observed. The time of cells beginning adherence in PLGA group was obviously later than that in β-TCP group. Cells began to develop on the circumambience and surface of the materials, with the prolonging of culture time. Most of the cells were multangular. The cells in both PLGA and β-TCP groups were similar to those in control group in items of cellular development and shape. ②Scanning electron microscope observation: On the seventh day of culture, the cells of control group remained a monolayer and amalgamated to be a patch with multangular-shaped ones increasing. There were substances in granule shape on the surface of the cells and micro-silk links between cells. In PLGA group, the cells After 7 days' cultivation proliferated sharply, and the compressed-shaped ones were inosculated to be a patch through integrations among cells, resulting in a large number of matrixes. While in β-TCP group, the number of cells increased from the 7th day. The cells were combined together to be a monolayer and moved to pores with matrixes creating out of cells.③Cellular proliferation: The number of the cells in each group all increased to some extents. However, there was no significant difference between the PLGA group and the control group, as well as the PLGA group and the β-TCP group (P ＞ 0.05).④ALP activity: The　content of ALP in all the groups enhanced without exception, while the activities between the PLGA group and the Both control group, as well as the PLGA group and the β-TCP group had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).⑤Cellular cycle:Both PLGA and β-TCP had slight effects on cellular cycle of BMSCs. The cells in each group were all normal diploid,and no heteroploid cells were discovered.CONCLUSION: This type of PLGA scaffold possesses good cellular biocompatibility, and can be used as a carrier of many factors in bone tissue engineering.

To study the protective effect and the mechanism of asiatic acid (AA) from Potentilla chinensis on alcohol hepatic injury in rats. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups: the normal control group, the AA control group (8 mg · kg(-1) AA), the model group (5.0-9.0 g · kg(-1) alcohol) and high, medium and low-dose AA-treated groups (alcohol + 8, 4, 2 mg · kg(-1) AA). Each group was orally administered with the corresponding drugs once a day for 24 weeks. Approximately 1. 5 hours after the final administration, all rats were killed, and their blood samples and hepatic tissues were collected. The AST and ALT in rat serum and the contents of MPO, TNF-α, IL-1β, SOD, GSH-Px, GSH-Rd and MDA in hepatic tissues were detected. The expressions of NF-κB, TLR4, CD14, MyD88, TRIF and protein expression in hepatic tissues were measured by western blot. The pathological changes in liver tissues were observed by histological examination. The results showed that compared with the model group, the AA-treated groups showed significant decreases in serum ALT, AST and MDA and increases in the activities of SOD, GSH-Px, GSH-Rd and MPO. Moreover, AA markedly inhibited the expressions of TNF-α, IL-1β, TLR4, CD14, MyD88 and NF-κB. The histological examination showed alleviated hepatic issue ijury to varying degrees. In short, asiatic acid (AA) from P. chinensis could protect alcohol-induced hepatic injury in rats. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB inactivation and the reduction of inflammatory response.
