BACKGROUND:General y considered bone marrow cells obtained by adherent method are mesenchymal stem cells, and they can differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the differentiation capacity of bone marrow adherent cells into osteoclasts.
METHODS:Primary mouse mesenchymal stem cells were obtained using adherent method, and bone marrow cells were obtained through adherence 1-5 days. Both of them were cultured with normal medium and inducing medium containing m-csf and RANKL. After 9 days, cells were stained by alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. The passage 2 mesenchymal stem cells were divided into four groups, which were induced by mock, m-csf, RANKL and m-csf+RANKL, respectively. After 9 days of culture, the cells were stained by alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Primary culture of adhered cells was uniform. Alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining of primary and passaged bone marrow adherent cells induced with m-csf+RANKL were positive. This result showed that there were cells that could be induced into osteoclasts in the primary and passaged bone marrow adherent cells. Alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining showed differences of adherent cells at different times after the induction, indicating that adherent cells at different times had different differentiation capacity.

Aim Subcortical ischemic vascular demen-tia ( SIVD ) induced by chronic hypoperfusion due to small-artery disease is a common cause of vascular de-mentia ( VaD) , which is recognized as the second most prevalent type of dementia. The aim of this study was to determine whether carnosine played a protective role in cognitive impairment induced by permanent occlu-sion of the right unilateral common carotid arteries ( rUCCAO ) in SIVD. Methods Adult male mice ( C57BL/6 strain ) were subjected to rUCCAO, and treated with carnosine or saline. Locomotor test, open field test, hot plate test, freezing test and Morris water maze were performed after rUCCAO. Results There were no differences among rUCCAO group, carnosine group and sham group for total distance traveled in lo-comotor test. In the open field test, carnosine (200, 500 mg · kg-1 ) significantly revised the decrease of latency spent in the center induced by SIVD . There were no differences between rUCCAO and sham groups for the pain threshold. In freezing test, rUCCAO in-duced a significant reduction in content memory, which was completely reversed by treatment of carnosine. In Morris water maze training trials, rUCCAO-treated mice showed prolonged escape latency in acquisition phase, carnosine ( 200, 500 mg · kg-1 ) markedly shortened the escape latency. Conclusion These data suggest that carnosine has a neuroprotective effect on cognitive impairment induced by rUCCAO in mice.

Curative effect, complications, nutritional indicators, immunoglobulins and inflammatory factors were detected and compared with analysis of variance. Western blot was used to detect the expression of NF-κB and TLR4 in pancreatic tissue in two groups.Results:The hospitalization time, ICU admission time, intestinal ventilation time, hospitalization costs and organ failure rate, pancreatic cysts, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, incidence of sepsis in U + EEN group were lower than those in EEN group: (2.1 ± 0.4) months vs. (2.4 ± 0.6) months, (16.9 ± 2.1) d vs. (21.7 ± 2.8) d, (23.7 ± 3.8) d vs. (27.4 ± 4.1) d, (11.4 ± 1.5) thousand Yuan vs. (14.1 ± 2.1) thousand Yuan and 8.9%(4/45) vs. 20.0%(9/45), 13.3%(6/45) vs. 28.9%(13/45), 11.1%(5/45) vs. 24.4%(11/45), 8.9%(4/45) vs. 26.7%(12/45), 6.7%(3/45) vs. 22.2%(10/45), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of prealbumin (PA), albumin (ALB) and total protein (TP) after treatment in U + EEN group were higher than those in EEN group: (107.4 ± 6.5) mg/L vs. (102.8 ± 4.7) mg/L, (46.1 ± 3.5) g/L vs. (43.4 ± 2.8) g/L, (55.9 ± 3.4) g/L vs. (53.7 ± 3.1) g/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of IgG, IgA, IgM after treatment in U+EEN group were higher than those in EEN group: (10.5 ± 1.6) g/L vs. (9.5 ± 1.3) g/L, (8.9 ± 1.4) mg/L vs. (8.3 ± 1.2) mg/L, (60.5 ± 3.6) mg/L vs. (55.9 ± 3.4) mg/L, the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in U+EEN group were lower than those in EEN group: (25.1 ± 2.9) mg/L vs. (30.6 ± 4.1) mg/L, (20.1 ± 1.9) mg/L vs. (24.6 ± 1.5) mg/L, (17.8 ± 1.9) mg/L vs. (20.1 ± 2.3) mg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The expressions of NF-κB and TLR4 protein in pancreatic tissue of patients in U + EEN group were significantly lower than those in EEN group (0.3 ± 0.2 vs. 0.5 ± 0.2, 0.2 ± 0.1 vs. 0.5 ± 0.1, P<0.05). Conclusions:Ulinastatin combined with early enteral nutrition can significantly improve the nutritional status and immune function and improve the prognosis of patients with severe acute pancreatitis, which may be related to ulinastatin′s reduction effect of NF-κB and TLR4′s expressions.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of American Ginseng Capsule (AGC) on the liver oxidative injury and the Nrf2 protein expression in the liver tissue of rats exposed by 900 MHz cell phone electromagnetic radiation.

METHODSTotally 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group, the model group, the Shuifei Jibin Capsule (SJC) group, and the AGC group,10 in each group. Rats in the normal control group were not irradiated. Rats in the rest three groups were exposed by imitated 900 MHz cellular phone for 4 h in 12 consecutive days. Meanwhile, rats in the SJC group and the AGC group were intragastrically administrated with suspension of SJC and AGC (1 mL/200 g body weight) respectively. Normal saline was administered to rats in the normal control group and the model group. The histolomorphological changes of the liver tissue were observed by HE staining. Contents of malonic dialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX)were detected by colorimetry. The Nrf2 protein expression of hepatocytes was detected by immunohistochemical assay and Western blot.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, hepatocyte nucleus was atrophied or partially disappeared, the contents of liver MDA and Nrf2 protein obviously increased (P <0. 05, P <0. 01); contents of liver SOD and GSH decreased (P <0. 05) in the model group. Compared with the model group, karyopyknosis was obviously attenuated and approached to the normal level in the SJC group and the AGC group. The contents of liver MDA and Nrf2 protein expression decreased (P <0. 05), and the contents of liver SOD, GSH, and GSH-PX obviously increased (P < 0.05) in the SJC group. The contents of liver MDA and the Nrf2 protein expression decreased (P < 0.05), and contents of SOD and GSH obviously increased in the AGC group (P <0.01, P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe electromagnetic radiation induced by 900 MHz cell phone could affect the expression of Nrf2 protein, induce oxidative injury, and induce abnormal morphology of liver cells. SJC and AGC could promote the morphological recovery of the liver cells. Its mechanism might be related to affecting the expression of Nrf2 protein and attenuating oxidative damage of liver cells.

Objective To observe the formation process with 3.0 T MRI dynamically, and to discuss the feasibility of molecular imaging studies on restenosis. Methods The models were built with balloon (2.0 F) injury which were separated into restenosis group (n=48) and control group (n=48). Zero h, 24 h, 1 week, 2 week, 4 week and 8 week after surgery, 3.0 T MRI scanning (T1WI, T2WI, PDWI) was performed respectively, the vascular of injured side were obtained for HE staining to observe the pathological changes, to analyze the measurement of neointimal area (IA), intimal proliferation index (IHI), lumen area (LA) and stenosis rates, correlation between HE staining measurements and MR images were analyzed. Two weeks after the injury, the restenosis model of rats (n=8) and control rats (n=8) were injected ultrasmall superparamagntiec iron oxide (USPIO,1 mmol/kg) by tail vein, respectively. 3.0 T MRI scanning (T2WI) was underwent at 0 h and 24 h after injection, the change of the arterial wall T2 signal was quantitatively analyzed and the relative signal intensity (rSI) and relative change rate (rSIC) of the vessel wall were calculated. Reference to MRI images, corresponding line segments were taken for Perl's blue staining and immunohistochemically staining of macrophages. One-way ANOVA, Pearson and t test were used for statistical analysis. Results In the early?term (0 h,24 h), the wall and surrounding high signal organization boundary was not clear, there was no obvious morphological change of the lumen. In the medium?term (1, 2 week), signal of the injured wall increased with different extents, wall thickening and luminal narrowing was progressive, the inwall was coarse. In the later?term (4, 8 week) wall signal got slightly lower, wall thickness, lumen change were not significant, the wall area and LA were significantly associated with pathologic measurement result (r value were 0.978, 0.732; P<0.05). In the control group, signal of wall and lumen morphological change were not significant among the different time points. IA were (0.131 ± 0.011) mm2, (0.588 ± 0.017) mm2, (1.061 ± 0.033) mm2, (1.192 ± 0.034) mm2;1, 2, 4, 8 week after injury, respectively, IHI were 0.235 ± 0.022, 0.578 ± 0.013, 0.715 ± 0.011, 0.737 ± 0.009, respectively, stenosis rates were (5.586 ± 0.987)%, (25.395 ± 1.112)%, (40.019 ± 1.298)%, (41.890 ± 0.951)%, respectively, difference between groups were statistically (P<0.05). In the control group, there was no significant differences of medium area, luminal stenosis and neointimal formation respectively at different time points (P>0.05). rSI was 1.582±0.051 after the injection of USPIO, then 24 h after injection of USPIO, T2 signal of the vessel wall was reduced significantly, rSI was 1.260 ± 0.088, rSIC was (-20.249 ± 6.489) % with statistical difference (t value was 8.924,P<0.05). But there was no statistical difference in control rats (P>0.05). Perl's staining combined with immunohistochemical staining confirmed that the iron particles were taken by the macrophage's phagocytosis just in the neointimal. Conclusion 3.0 T MRI is capable of demonstrating the vessel wall and lumen changes dynamically, and the measurements are correlated with pathological results. USPIO can be consumed by macrophages in the neointimal, resulting in T2 signal of the vessel wall decreased significantly.
