Objective To study the in vitro culture condition for melanoblasts from human foreskin tissue. Methods The skin tissue taken from foreskin of children was treated with 0.5% dispase Ⅱ to separate epidermis from dermis, then with trypsin to obtain single cell suspension, which was cultured in modified medium for melanoblasts, i.e., MCDB254 medium supplied with several cell growth factors. Finally, melanoblasts were obtained based on the difference of adhesion speed. The morphology and proliferation of cultured melanoblasts were observed under a light microscope. DOPA staining, immunostaining with anti- S-100 and -tyrosinase related protein 2 (TRP2) antibodies, and transmission electron microscopy were per- formed to identify the cultured melanoblasts. Results The cultured human melanocytes displayed a match-like shape, scattered arrangement, syrmnetric double poles, slim cell body, highly refractive nuclei; meanwhile, the melanoblasts exhibited plentiful cytoplasm, large volume, bipolar or irregular shape and clonal growth. Additionally, the melanocytes were positive for TRP2, S-100 and Dopa staining, while the melanoblasts were positive only for TRP2. Electron microscopy revealed the presence of mature melanin granules (stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ ) in melanocytes but immature melanin granules (stage Ⅰ ) in melanoblasts. Conclu- sion Stable pure culture of melanoblasts has been realized with the reformed medium, which may lay a foundation for the investigation into the mechanism of epidermal pigmentation.

BACKGROUND: Most reported biomechanical studies on sacroiliac joint injury and fixation use cadavers or artificial bone models to simulate the sacroiliac joint injury.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the vertical stability of anterior plate fixation for sacroiliac joint dislocation using three-dimensional finite element method. METHODS: The anterior plate fixation model of unilateral sacroiliac joint dislocation was constructed on the basis of the three-dimensional finite element model of a complete pelvis. An axial load of 500 N was applied on the model; the cloud pictures of stress, strain and displacement were obtained after calculation and compared with that of the complete pelvis under the same conditions.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Stress concentration occurred at the internal fixation system; the maximum stress was found at the screws near the injured sacroiliac joint, far greater than the maximum stress of the complete pelvis under the same condition. The maximum strain was found in the healthy sacroiliac joint; the fixed sacroiliac joint had no strain. The maximum displacement was found in the injured sacroiliac joint; it was about twice longer than the complete pelvis. These findings indicate that the vertical stability of pelvis is poor using anterior plate internal fixation treatment for sacroiliac joint dislocation; and stress concentration occurs at the screws and plates.

Abstract: Objective To observe the phenotypic characteristics of 3 wild-type plague phages under different experimental environments, providing scientific evidence for the identification of phage biological characteristics and the study of their interaction with host bacteria in the future. Methods The sensitivity of 3 wild-type plague phages were detected by using liquid culture method, emisolid medium method and micro-liquid culture method based on OmniLog TM microbial identification system. Results The growth result based on LB liquid medium showed that the growth of plague phage 476 for 20-24 hours at both 28 ℃ and 37 ℃was better than that of plague phages 087 and 072204 at 37 ℃, and the growth of plague phages 087 was better than that of plague phages 072204 at 37 ℃. With the attenuated plague bacterium EV76 as the host bacterium, phage 476 was able to form visible plaque on double-layer agar medium for 20-20 hours at both 28 ℃ and 37 ℃, phages 087 and 072204 were only able to form opaque plaque on double-layer agar medium for 20-24 hours at 37 ℃. The growth results based on OmniLogTM system showed that when plague phage was lysed in EV76 strain at 33 ℃, the first row appeared as a straight line with a peak of no more than 100 in the 96-well microplate curve chart. As the phage quantity decreased, the dilution plate appeared with growth curve similar to EV76 strain in turn, and the color of tetrazolium dyes in the experimental wells gradually deepened as the phage number decreased and the host bacteria number increased. Therefore, it indicates that phage 476 was sensitively at both 28 ℃ and 37 ℃, while phage 087 and 072204 were temperature-dependent only at 37 ℃ to attenuated plague bacterium EV76. Conclusions The lysing ability of 3 wild-type plague phages are temperature-dependent, and the growth results are consistent under the three experimental conditions.

Objective To investigate the correlation between intima-media thickness(IMT)and elasticity of carotid in patients with type 2 diabetes accompanied hyperlipidemia by quantitative intima-media thickness(QIMT)and quantitative arterial stiffness(QAS)technique.Methods Fifty-six patients with type 2 diabetes accompanied hyperlipidemia were involved into the study as case group.Forty-eight healthy volunteers were supplied as normal control group in the same period.IMT,compliance coefficient(CC),distensibility coefficient(DC)and stiffness index(β)of carotid were acquired through QIMT and QAS.Case group was divided into case group 1(IMT＜0.9mm)and case group 2(IMT≥0.9 mm),and analysis was performed furtherly.Results β,triglyceride(TG),lowdensity lipoprotein(LDL),cholesterol(Ch),glycosylated hemoglobin(GHb)and IMT had significant differences in case group 1,case group 2 and control group(P＜0.05),control group＜case group 1＜case group 2.DC and CC had significant differences in case group 1,case group 2 and control group(P＜0.05),control group＞case group 1＞case group 2.There was significant positive correlation between β and age,GHb,LDL and IMT of carotid respectively(r=0.811,r:0.764,r=0.732,r:0.729,respectively,P=0.000).Conchmions IMT of carotid could be measured accurately by QIMT.Structure imaging and functional imaging of carotid might be combined organically through QIMT and QAS.Depth study about early change of carotid in structure and function could be performed with these two techniques.

Objective To research the protective effect of Ento-Ⅰagainst cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats,and to evaluate its analgesic and anticoagulating effects in mice. Methods The ischemic model was established with line embolism to block the middle cerebral artery of male rats. The 56 rats were randomly assigned into 7 groups of sham-operation,blank-matrix,nor?
mal saline,Ento-Ⅰplastic of 3 doses(6.67,3.33,1.67 mg/kg),and ozagrel sodium(8.3 mg/kg,ip). The effect of Ento-Ⅰplastic on anti-cerebral ischemia was measured by nervous function scores and the areas of cerebral infarction were determined by TTC staining for the calculation of cerebral infarction rates. The analgesic effect of Ento-Ⅰplastic was determined with acetic acid-induced twisting experiment. Sixty KM mice were randomly allocated into blank-matrix,aspirin,aspirin-plastic,and Ento-Ⅰplastic of 3 doses(5,10 and 20 mg/kg),the number of mouse twisting were recorded right after intraperitoneal injection of 0.7%acetic acid solution at the time of 1 h after the last administration. Moreover,the anticoagulant activity of Ento-Ⅰplastic was tested by glass capillary method. Re?sults The results of acetic acid-induced twisting experiment displayed that Ento-Ⅰplastic of all 3 dose groups(5,10 and 20 mg/kg) could significantly reduce the number of body torsion and increase the inhibitory rates of twisting,compared with that of blank matrix group(the inhibitory rates of twisting for 3 dose groups were 21.79%,48.89%,and 56.15%,respectively),with dose-response man?ner. According to the results of glass capillary test,the clotting time of mouse blood could be significantly prolonged by mid-(10 mg/kg)and low-dose(5 mg/kg)of Ento-Ⅰplastic with corresponding clotting time of(155.20±54.19)s and(155.80±73.84)s,compared with normal saline group at(92.10 ± 24.61)and blank-matrix group at(80.40 ± 48.09,P<0.05). The experiment results of the isch?emia-reperfusion injury by line embolism method in rats exhibited that Ento-Ⅰplastic in mid-dose(3.33 mg/kg)could significantly re?duce the neurological scores after 24 h of reperfusion injury,from(2.33 ± 0.52)of normal saline group to(1.00 ± 0.00)of mid-dose group(P<0.01). The results from TTC staining revealed that the cerebral infarction rates of normal saline group and blank-matrix group were(24.89±7.24)%and(27.72±7.89)%,respectively,whereas those of 6.67 mg/kg and 3.33 mg/kg group of Ento-Ⅰplastic were(14.01±2.65)%and(14.73±4.94)%,respectively. Compared to the 2 negative-control groups,both the high-and mid-dose of Ento-Ⅰplastic could significantly reduce the cerebral infarction rates after ischemic reperfusion injury in rats (P<0.01). Conclu?sion Ento-Ⅰplastic demonstrates strong analgesic and anticoagulant effects,and could substantially reduce the neurological scores and reduce cerebral infarction rates for ischemia-reperfusion injured rats. These are likely to be the mechanism of action for Ento-Ⅰplastic realizing its anti-cerebral ischemia effect.
