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.

Objective To explore the risk factors of youth cerebral infarction and its correlation with clinical TOAST types.Methods 82 young patients with acute cerebral infarction(aged from 18 to 45 years old)were select-ed.The risk factors for youth cerebral infarction patients,and the proportion of TOAST subtype and related risk factors were analyzed.Results Risk factors for youth cerebral infarction were as follows:hyperlipidemia (χ2 =48.703,P <0.05),hypertension (χ2 =40.829,P <0.05),carotid sclerosis (χ2 =46.217,P <0.05),hyperhomocysteinemia (χ2 =40.255,P <0.05),smoking history (χ2 =7.853,P <0.05),diabetes (χ2 =18.256,P <0.05)and family history (χ2 =5.944,P <0.05),heart disease (χ2 =5.754,P <0.05).The proportion of their TOAST subtypes were as following:small artery occlusion lacunar(SAD)(39.0%),large artery atherosclerosis(LAA)(24.4%),stroke of other undetemined etiology(SUE)(17.0%),and acute stroke of other detemined etiology(SOE)(12.2%),cardio-embolism(CE)type(7.3%).Major risk factors for LAA subtype included hyperlipidemia,hypertension and carotid atherosclerosis;Major risk factor for SUE subtype was hyperhomocysteinemia;Major risk factors for SOE included hypertension,diabetes.Major risk factor for CE subtype was heart disease.Conclusion The highest proportion of TOAST types in youth cerebral infarction group is small artery occlusion lacunar.Major risk factors for this group of youth cerebral infarction are as follows:hypertension,carotid atherosclerosis,heart disease,diabetes,hyperhomocys-teinemia,obesity,smoking and family history,and these risk factors should be actively intervened.

Objective:To study the effect of ulinastatin combined with early enteral nutrition on severe acute pancreatitis and its effect on nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4).Methods:Ninety severe acute pancreatitis patients who were treated in Central Hospital of Lijin County from January 2016 to January 2020 were selected and were divided into U+EEN group (ulinastatin combined with early enteral nutrition therapy) and EEN group (early enteral nutrition therapy) by random number table method, with 45 patients in each group. 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).

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.

AIM: This study is to determine changes of hippocampal norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5 -HT) in long term physical exercise and chronic psychological stress, and to study the roles of the two monoamine transmitters in the effect of exercise counteracting stress - induced hippocampal damages in brain. METHODS : Levels of hippocampal NE and 5 - HT in rats undergoing 4 - week voluntary wheel running exercise (exercise group) or 3 - week restraint stress (stress group) or 4 - week exercise and 3 - week stress (exercise - stress group) were detected by high - performance liquid chromatography using electrochemical detection. RESULTS: It is showed that levels of hippocampal NEand 5 - HT increased significantly (P < 0. 01) in the exercised rats, and in the stressed rats, hippocampal 5 - HT levelssignificantly decreased(P < 0. 05). Additionally, the NE levels maintained significant high (P < 0. 01) in exercise -stressed rats compared to the pure stressed ones. On the other hand, no obvious difference was observed in hippocampal5 - HT levels between stress group and exercise - stress group, which were all significant lower (P < 0. 05) than that in exercise group. CONCLUSION: It is suggested that both the NE and 5 - HT may play important roles in mediating the exercise-induced positive effects and the 5 - HT may play an important role in stress - induced negative effects on the hippocampus. Moreover, NE may take more action in the exercise attenuating stress - induced hippocampal damages. The hippocampal NE may be more susceptible to exercise, and the hippocampal 5 - HT may be more susceptible to stress.`

Objective To clarify the role of B7-H1 in the immune privilege after corneal transplantation in homogeneity variant mice.Methods We established the experimental animal model of allograft mice by using C57BL/6 mouse as donor and Balb/c mouse as recipient.We allocaated the mice with long time survival (＞50 days) corneal graft into survival group,mice with rejection occurring in 50 days into rejection group,and normal C57BL/6 mice into control group.The transplanted corneal grafts were obtained for future reference at the 8th week after transplantation in survival group,and the time of rejection in rejection group.The expression of B7-H1 mRNA was detected by using immunohistochemistry and real time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR),and the relationship between B7-H1 and the immune privilege after corneal transplantation was analyzed. Results The B7 H1 mRNA was highly expressed in epithelium and endothelium of corneal grafts both in survival and control group,in comparison to an obviously lower expression in rejection group.The relative expression level of B7-H1 mRNA was 200.0 ± 11.5 in survival group,44.7 ± 10.8 in control group,and 6.9 ± 12.0 in rejection group,respectively. There were statistically significant differences among the three groups (F=241.164,P＜0.01 ).The was a significant correlation between the level of B7-H1 mRNA and occurrence rate of rejection in corneal graft (P＜0.01 ).Conclusion The results suggest that the immune privilege after corneal transplantation might be mediated by B7-H1,which plays an important role in maintaining the state of corneal immune privilege.

Background and purpose: Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor is related to invasion and metastasis of tumor. Inhibition of uPAR expression in tumor cells results in reducing its metastasis. This study was aimed to construct an expression vector with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) of uPAR, which could pave the way for RNAi-mediated tongue squamous cell carcinoma therapy. Methods: Genome sequences of uPAR gene were retrieved from Genhank and cDNA was designed to code expression of shRNA for uPAR gene. The cDNA was synthesized and inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pWH1, and the recombinant pWH1-uPAR expression vector was identified by enzyme cutting method. Then, pWH1-uPAR expression vector was transfected into tongue squamous cell carcinoma Ts cells by Lipofectomine 2000. At last, the expression of uPAR in Ts cells transfected with pWH1-uPAR expression vector was observed by RT-PCR, immunocytochemistry staining and Western blot. MTT assay was performed to measure the proliferation of Ts cell. Results: The uPAR shRNA eukaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed. Compared with Ts cells and Ts cells transfected with plasmid pWH1, the Ts cells transfected with pWHI-uPAR expression vector showed a lower mRNA and protein expression of uPAR. The inhibition rate of proliferation was 32.9% of Ts cells by transfected with pWHl- uPAR. Conclusion: The constructed uPAR shR.NA expression vector could inhibit the expression of uPAR in tongue squamous cell carcinoma, which may be helpful for further research on the function of uPAR and provide effective methods for therapy of tongue squamous cell carcinoma.
