Objective To observe homing of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in immune organs and inflammatory joints in collagen induced arthritis(CIA) rats. MethodsRats MSCs were isolated and expanded from bone marrow cells by density gradient centrifugation and adhering to the culture cell walls, and the phenotypes were assessed by flow cytometry. MSCs were labeled by PKH-26 and Brdu. Sixty-four rats were randomly divided into normal group and CIA group. Every 8 rats were sacrificed at 3, 11, 30, 42 days after transplantation of MSCs. At the end of the experiment, the specimens of thymus gland, spleen, ankle joints were exposed, fixed, decalcified, wrapped and cut into slices. Confocal laser scanning microscope and immunohistochemical method were used to observe migration and distribution of MSCs in different organs. Independent samples group t test with SPSS 12.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. ResultsIt was found that allogenic MSCs could stay in spleen, thymus gland and joints of CIA rats for a relatively long period (42days). Forty-two days after transplantation of MSCs, the average grey scale values of spleen and thymus gland in CIA group(37.5±8.8, 29.9±5.9 respectively) were significantly higher than the normal group(16.0±2.3,13.2±4.3 respectively), the average grey scale values of ankle joints in CIA group 78±8 was significantly lower than the normal group 93±14(P<0.05). ConclusionIt has been found that MSCs can stay in the injured tissue and organs preferentially.

Objective To investigate the expression alteration and significance of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)by GWAS(Genome-wide association study)between Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)and its adjacent normal esophageal tissues. Methods lncRNA and mRNA differential expression in 6 pairs of ESCC and matched non-cancerous tissues were screened by microarray assay. The target genes were predicted. Finally , GO(Gene Ontology)and Pathway analysis was used for the further research of lncRNA. Results A total of 680 lncRNA and 1472mRNA were differentially expressed at more than two-fold change(P ≤ 0.05,with 161lncRNA and 653mRNA up-regulated,519lncRNA and 819mRNA down-regulated between ESCC and its adjacent normal esophageal tissues. Gene ontology and pathway analysis results suggested that the differentially expressed genes were involved in 11 pathways.Theyare potentially associated with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma ,including post-translational protein modification ,mucin type O-Glycan biosynthesis and sphingolipid metabolism pathways , which mainly related to the changes of molecular function ,cellular components and biological processes. Through cis and trans analysis,a total of 15 differentially expressed lncRNA had cis-and/or trans-regulated target genes in the database,with 13 lncRNA had cis-regulated target genes,3 lncRNA had trans-regulated target genes,and 1 lncRNA had both cis- and trans-regulated target genes. Conclusion Compared with adjacent normal tissues ,a large number of lncRNA were expressed differentially in ESCC in Xinjiang Han people.Aberrantly expressed lncRNA may play important roles in ESCC development and progression through some signaling pathways ,which are of great significance for further search of new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of ESCC.

Objective To observe the immunologic effect of transplantation of MSCs by studying the early and later period of collagen induced arthritis. Methods Rats MSCs were isolated and expanded from bone marrow cells by density gradient centrifugation and adhering to the culture plastic bottle, and the phenotypes were assessed by flow cytometry. We established collagen induced arthritis rats model. MSCs wereinjected from tail veins. We observed the expression of Foxp3 mRNA using RT-PCR, and the level of CD4+CD25+ T cell was tested by flow cytometry. One-way ANOVA and LSD-t test were used for statistical analysis.Results The percentage of CD4+ CD25+ T cells in early and later CIA groups was lower than that of normal control group and treatment groups, which showed statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The level of CD4+ CD25+ T cell in early MSCs treatment group was higher than the later MSNs treatment group, which showed statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Compared to the normal group and treatment groups, the expression level of Foxp3 mRNA in the early and later CIA groups was decreased markedly, while the early MSNs treatment group versus the later treatment group showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).The intensity of Foxp3 mRNA in the treatment groups was similar to normal control group. Conclusion In this study, MSCs has shown significant immune-modulatory effects. It up-regulates the level of CD4+ CD25+ T cell in CIA rats, accelerate the expression of Foxp3 mRNA. The early treatment group is more effective than the late treatment group.

Objective To investigate the differences in clinical, laboratory and therapeutic aspects of primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) between young/middle-age group and old group.Methods The 84 pSS patients were divided into the young and middle-age group (n=54) and the old group (n = 30). The differences in clinical features, laboratory indices and drug therapy were retrospectively analyzed. The chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results The positive incidences of xerostomia, dry eye symptom and rampant teeth were 80.0%, 76.7% and 43.3%respectively in the old group. And they were all significantly higher than in young and middle-aged group (57.4%, 51.9% and 20.4%, all P<0. 05). The positive rates of rheumatoid factor (RF)elevation, antiRo/SSA and antiLa/SSB antibodies were 13. 0%, 36.7% and 16.7% in the old group,and significantly lower than in young and middle-age group (44.4%, 59.3% and 42.6%, all P<0.05). The incidences of leukopenia and thyroid gland involvement were much lower in the aged group (13.3% and 10.0%) than in the young and middle-age group (48. 1% and 37.0%, P<0. 05). The percentage of patients receiving hydroxychloroquine as the main medicine was much lower in the aged group than in the young and middle-age group (16.7% vs. 40. 7%, P<0. 05), while percentage of treatment with exclusive glucosides of Paeony Capsules was much higher (33.3% vs. 14.8%, P<0.05). There were no statistical differences between two groups in ophthalmological examination,immunoglobulin level and sialography. Conclusions Those pSS patients with late onset exhibit more abnormalities in clinical parameters, but fewer in immunological parameters, which may be helpful in estimating prognosis and pathogenetic factors in pSS.
