ObjectiveTo study the effect of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) transplantation into traumatic brain injury(TBI) rats by the external carotid artery on neurological function and learning and memory.MethodsTen adult SD rats were randomly divided into TBI group ( n =5 ) and BMSC transplantation group ( n=5).Feeney free falling method was used to establish TBI models.The experimental rats were administrated with BMSC via external carotid artery (ECA),while TBI rats were injected with sterile liquid medium of equal volume via right ECA.Neurological function were evaluated according to the modified neurological severity score (NSS) at 1,3,7,15 days.Morris water maze test was used to observe the animal capabilities of place navigation and space exploration at 15 days,then animals were sacrificed.Survival and migration of implanted BMSC in brains under fluorescence microscope. ResultAfter traumatic brain,varying degrees convulsions,paralysis,loss of balance function in rats were found.Compared with TBI group,BMSC transplantation decreased significantly NSS (P <0.01 ).BMSC transplantation significantly decreased on escape latency ( ( 20.48 ± 2.29 ) s ) than the TBI group ( ( 85.93 ± 47.48 ) s) (P < 0.01 ).Moreover,BMSC group in the target quadrant dwell time ( ( 28.62 ± 1.72) % )and distance ( (29.05 ± 3.08 )% ) as well as the number of passing the platform (8.00 ± 2.45 ) were significantly higher than the TBI group ( ( 19.37 ± 2.81 ) %,(21.78 ± 3.06) %,(2.00 ± 1.87) respectively,P < 0.01 ).Transplanted BMSC could survive and migrate around injury brain through Hochest mark immunofluorescence.ConclusionBMSC can survive and migrate around injury brain by transplantation of external carotid artery,which results in a significant neurological function improvement and learning and memory increase in rats with traumatic brain injury.

A strain was separeted from the Yueqing bay using pine pollen baiting.The vegetative thallus of the separated strain is oval and unincleate.It possesses a cell wall composed of many compact layers of closely pressed scales, which can be resolved where the cell wall is disrupted.The radiating branched extensions of the thallus, the ectoplasmic net, emerges from the sagenogenetosome.Asexual reproduction is by conversion of the vegetative thallus to many biflagellate zoospores, during which tetrads of cells are formed.It was identified with Schizochytrium sp.based on the features mentioned above.

Objective To systematically review the evidence for the effect of vitamin D supplementation on insulin resistance and blood glucose in people who are obese or people with abnormal glucose metabolism. Methods We searched databases including Pubmed, Elsevier, Web of Science, and WANFANG Database etc. for randomized controlled trials comparing vitamin D or analogues with placebo. We extracted data on insulin resistance and blood glucose, including homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance( HOMA-IR), fasting blood glucose, HbA1C (% ). A1l data were analyzed using Review Manager 5. 0. Results Nine studies involving 867 participants were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: ( 1 ) For people who are obese and with abnormal glucose metabolism, meta-analysis showed a small improvement in HOMA-IR(SMD -0. 34,95% CI -0. 61 to -0. 06, P<0. 05) and a small effect on fasting glucose (SMD -0. 41 mmol/ L, 95% CI -0. 68 to -0. 15, P<0. 05),while such effects were not seen in people who are obese but with normal blood glucose. (2) No serious adverse events were associated with the administration of vitamin D. Conclusion vitamin D supplementation may be benefit for improving insulin resistance and fasting blood glucose in people who are obese and with abnormal glucose metabolism, but has no effect on obese people with normal blood glucose.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of adult patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) receiving haploidentical donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID HSCT).Method We retrospectively reviewed 20 adult patients with HLH from August 2009 to August 2014.The clinical features and outcome were analyzed.Results Conditioning regimens consisted of total body irradiation/etoposide/cyclophosphamide (TBI/VP-16/CTX) and busulfan (Bu)/VP-16/CTX in HLH with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) 8 mg/kg.The stem cells were mobilized from donors' peripheral blood.Median time to white blood cell engraftment was 13 (9-27) days.Median time to platelet engraftment was 14 (10-28) days.Mixed chimerism after transplantation developed in 4 patients and no patient presented graft failure.Eight patients developed grade Ⅱ to Ⅲ acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD),while as chronic GVHD occurred in 9 patients.Among 12 patients with EB virus (EBV) reactivation,2 patients developed post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD),7 were suspected as PTLD and 3 were considered as relapse of primary disease.With a median follow-up of 20 months (range:0.5-108 months) after transplantation,the estimated 2-year overall survival (OS) rate was (60.0 ± 11.0) % in all patients.During the follow-up,12 patients survived,8 died including 5 within 100 days after HSCT.Among 5 non-remission patients before HSCT,4 patients died within 100 days after HCT.Conclusions HID HSCT is an effective treatment for adult patients with HLH to achieve remission and long-term survival.High proportion of mixed chimerism has been seen at early stage after transplantation.EBV reactivation and early transplant-related mortality are common.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of soy isoflavone on obesity in the light of hypothalamus and peripheral orexigenic gene regulation.
METHODSFifty-four female rats were randomly assigned to 6 groups: one sham-operated group (SHAM), one ovariectomized (OVX) control group, three OVX groups fed with 400 ppm (L-SI), 1200 ppm (M-SI) and 3600 ppm (H-SI) isoflavone respectively, and one OVX group receiving 0.45 ppm diethylstilbestrol (EC). All rats were allowed to take high-fat diet for 4 weeks. Some neuropeptides were measured by RT-PCR. These neuropeptides included NPY, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART), orexin, melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), melanin-concentrating hormone precursor (P-MCH), ghrelin, and leptin.
RESULTSCompared with the OVX control group, the body weight and food intake in the H-SI group were reduced significantly and there was a significant dose-dependent manner in the 3 isoflavone groups. The results of RT-PCR showed that the NPY level in the 3 isoflavone groups was significantly increased and the POMC/CART gene expression decreased significantly in rats' hypothalamus compared with that in the OVX control group. However, the expression of orexin, MCH and P-MCH had no change. The peripheral grelin mRNA expression was higher in the 3 isoflavone groups, while leptin gene expression in the fat was not consistent.
CONCLUSIONSThis research showed that isoflavone could prevent obesity induced by high-fat diet and ovariectomy through regulating hypothalamus and peripheral orexigenic gene expressions associated with food intake.

With the elucidation of structures and functions, antibodies are widely applied in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Today, therapeutic antibodies have played ever increasing roles in the treatment of cancers. In fact, there are over 20 monoclonal antibodies which have been approved by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the therapeutic use in cancers. For the gastric and colorectal cancers, there are at least 9 antibodies have been approved for cancer therapy or for clinical trials. These antibody drugs target to tumor associate antigens and can destroy the cancer cells through several mechanisms such as antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity, complement-dependent cytotoxicity, blockage of blood nutrition and crucial signaling pathways. With the progress in gene engineering technology, the diverse structures of antibodies can be created. In addition, the antibody-conjugates with radioisotopes, toxins and cytotoxins, are also designed for targeted therapy of gastric and colorectal cancers. In this article, we review the trends in the clinical development and application of antibody drugs for future research and development of the rapidly expanding therapeutic modality in gastric and colorectal cancers.
