BACKGROUND:To in vitro isolate neural stem cel s with high purity and uniform biological properties and to establish a complete set of neural stem cel culture system is the basis for neural stem cel research.
OBJECTIVE:To establish an isolation and culture system for neural stem cel s from newborn mouse hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex and to analyze the biological properties of cel s.
METHODS:Neural stem cel s were isolated from the hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex tissue of newborn Kunming mice by mechanical separation and trypsin digestion. Serum-free culture technology, mechanical pipetting and trypsin digestion were used for subculture of neural stem cel s. 10%fetal bovine serum was used to induce differentiation of neural stem cel s. Neural stem cel s and their differentiated products were identified by
immunofluorescent staining of Nestin, CD133,β-TubulinIII, glial fibril ary acidic protein.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The neural stem cel obtained from newborn mouse hippocampus, olfactory bulb and cortex had the capacity of self-renewal and differentiation which were positive for Nestin and CD133. After induction with fetal bovine serum, neural stem cel could differentiation toβ-tubulinIII or glial fibril ary acidic protein positive cel s that were neurons and astrocytes. This experiment has successful y established the neural stem cel isolation, culture, identification and induction system, providing experimental basis for subsequent studies of neural stem cel s.

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)regulatory science,as an emerging interdisciplinary science,evaluates the safety,effectiveness,quality,and risk-benefit profile of regulated Chinese medicinal products,including Chinese medicinal materials,Chinese medicinal slices,and Chinese patent medicines.It highlights the development of new tools,standards,and methods that align with the unique characteristics of TCM.TCM regulatory science plays a crucial role in establishing a TCM scientific regulatory system that suits the features of TCM,accelerating the transformation of emerging TCM technologies and facilitating innovation in the inheritance and development of TCM.Sichuan,known as the"hometown of TCM therapies and the treasure trove of TCM",has built the first national modernized TCM technology industrial base and one of the first national comprehensive TCM reform demonstration zones.It plays a demonstrative and leading role in the high-quality development of the TCM industry in China.Based on the latest progress in new tools,standards,and methods of TCM regulatory science,this article overviewed its significant role and prospects in enhancing the efficiency of TCM regulation,accelerating the transformation and application of new TCM technologies and products,and promoting the high-quality development of the TCM industry in Sichuan.It is of great significance for ensuring and improving the regulatory capabilities of TCM and driving the healthy development of the TCM industry.

This retrospective study aims to demonstrate the effect of antitubercular treatment (ATT) on the pregnancy outcomes and prognoses of patients with genital tuberculosis (GTB) who had received laparoscopy and/or hysteroscopy. This study included 78 patients with infertility and who were diagnosed with GTB through laparoscopy and/or hysteroscopy over the period of November 2005 to October 2015. The recruited patients were divided into ATT and nonATT groups on the basis of ATT duration. The GTB recurrence rates, menstrual patterns, and pregnancy outcomes of the patients were determined at follow-up. Among the 78 patients, 46 received ATT and 32 did not receive ATT. The menstrual volumes of patients in the ATT group significantly decreased relative to those of patients in the nonATT group. GTB did not recur among all patients regardless of treatment. A total of 11 pregnancies (36.7%) in the ATT group and 19 pregnancies (63.3%) in the nonATT group were observed. Pregnancy rates significantly differed (P = 0.002) between the two groups. ATT may decrease the menstrual volume and pregnancy rates of patients who were diagnosed with GTB through laparoscopy and/or hysteroscopy. In addition, ATT did not improve the prognosis of patients with chronic GTB.
