Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2013;22(11):991-996
Objective To explore and establish the possible method of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound(LIPUS) irradiation directly combined with SonoVue microbubbles could enhance 5-azacytine (Aza) induced cardiomyogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellin(MSCs)vitro,initially explore the appropriate irradiation condition,and to provide experimental basic data for ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction application in MSCs transplantation for acute myocardial infarction.Methods (1) In order to screen out the appropriate ultrasound irradiation intensity and time without conspicuous harm to MSCs,stem cells were exposed to different ultrasound intensity irradiation (0.11,0.33,0.55,0.77,0.99 W/cm2) and time (0,30,60,90 s) and then cell proliferation determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT).In order to screen out the appropriate microbubble-to-cell ratio without conspicuous harm to MSCs,stem cells of different microbubble-to-cell ratios (0,10,50,100,150) were exposed above the screened ultrasound irradiation intensity and time and then cell proliferation determined by MTT.(2) MSCs were divided into four groups and induced cardiomyogenic differentiation by different inducing systems in vitro as follows:no-treatment group,5-Aza inducing group(10 μmol/L),microbubble and ultrasound group,5-Aza inducing (10 μmol/L) with microbubble and ultrasound group,followed by four weeks of further culture.The morphological changes were studied daily under phase-contrast microscope,then the expression of cardiac troponin-T (cTnT) was detected by immunocytochemistry method to analyze and compare differentiation rate of cardiomyocyte-like cells in each group.Results (1)The direct ultrasound irradiation condition of no conspicuous harm to MSCs,but with destruction was intensity of 0.55 W/cm2,exposure time of 30 s and microbubble-to-cell ratio of 50.(2) This study confirmed the feasibility of direct ultrasound exposure of LIPUS on MSCs in vitro.(3) At 28 days after induction,the stem cells of 5-Aza inducing group and 5-Aza inducing with microbubble and ultrasound group expressed cTnT and the positive rate of the latter was higher than the former by immunocytochemistry (13.69% vs 34.13%,P <0.05).Conclusions The appropriate ultrasound direct irradiation condition was intensity of 0.55 W/cm2,exposure time of 30 s and microbubble-to-cell ratio of 50.Appropriate conditions of LIPUS could enhance 5-Aza induced cardiomyogenic differentiation of MSCs in vitro.

The current study suggested that gastrointestinal motility has a close relationship with ascending-descending theory of spleen and stomach of TCM.Gastrointestinal symptoms caused by Qi disorder of spleen are identical with the clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal motility disorders.Although spleen and stomach act as the pivot of Qi transporting in the body,the dysfunction of liver,lung,kidney,and heart may also cause disorders of Qi in ascending and descending,manifested as pathological gastrointestinal motility.Therefore,when gastrointestinal motility appears abnormality,we should pay attention to other organs besides analyzing dysfunction of spleen and stomach

Objective To compare the features of adolescents' normal fear between urban and rural areas in China. Methods 648 Urban and 478 rural adolescents were investigated with the revised Fear Survey Schedule For Children -II . Results (1)The most common fear of adolescents in urban and rural areas was very same,namely taking dangerous drugs,someone in my family having an accident,not being able to breath,someone in my family dying,nuclear war,my parents separating or getting divorced,being kidnapped,but only one item was not same ,namely urban adolescents fear having no friends ,rural adolescents fear AIDS.

The mechanism of long chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is diverse. LncRNA can regulate the expression of genes at multiple levels and is closely related to some pathological process, such as tumor formation, viral replication, inflammatory damage, etc. The abnormal expression of lncRNA is involved in the patho-physiological changes of the disease, and plays a key role in many links, such as the stability of mRNA, the regulation of translation level, protein transport, RNA processing and modification, and so on. The development of sepsis inflammatory injury is a complex process involving multiple genes and pathways, in which the abnormal structure and expression of many encoding genes or non-coding genes exist.This paper review the research progress on lncRNA in the regulation of chondriokinesis, pro-inflammatory cytokines, calcium ion transport, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in signal pathway and other inflammatory lesions, which may provide a new method for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

The severity of ischemic brain injury was closely associated with the mortality and disability of stroke. How to limit ischemic brain injm-y to the greatest extent and promote the recovery of neurological function is one of the most concerned hotspots at present in the field of neuroscience. A large number of studies have shown that a variety of factors involve in the pathological process of ischemic brain injury, in which, the role of T lymphocyte-mediated immune inflammatory response in ischemic brain injury has received increasing attention. This article mainly reviews the role of T cells in ischemic brain injury.
