The effects of high-intensity pulsed electromagnetic stimulation (HIPEMS) on proliferation and differentiation of neonatal rat neural stem cells in vitro were investigated. Neural stem cells derived from neonatal rats were exposed to 0.1 Hz, 0.5-10 Tesla (T) [8 groups of B-I, respectively], 5 stimuli of HIPEMF. The sham exposure controls were correspondingly established. Inverted phase contrast microscope was used to observe the cultured cells, MTT assay to detect the viability of the cells as expressed by absorbance (A) value, and flow cytometry to measure differentiation of neural stem cells. The results showed that A values of neural stem cells in both 3.0 T and 4.0 T groups were significantly higher than the other groups 24 to 168 h post HPEMS, indicating a strong promotion of the growth of neural stem cells (P<0.05). The A values of neural stem cells in the 6.0 T, 8.0 T, and 10.0 T groups were lower than the sham exposure control group, indicating a restraint of the growth of neural stem cells. The rate of neuron-specific enolase-positive neurons revealed by flow cytometry in HPEMS groups was the same as that in control group (P>0.05). It was suggested that 0.1 Hz, 5 pulses stimulation of HPEMS within certain scale of intensity (0.5-10.0 T), significantly promoted the growth of neural stem cells with the rational intensity being 4.0 T.

Objective To study the effect of using different tibial nerve proximal muscle branchs to repair deep peroneal nerve injury in animal experiment, and to screen out the most optimal donor nerve branch. Methods From June, 2016 to August, 2016, 64 adult female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, which were LHG (using lateral head of gastrocnemius to repair peroneal nerve), MHG(using medial head of gastrocnemius to repair peroneal nerve), SNB (using soleus nerve branch to repair peroneal nerve), and blank. There were16 rats in each group. At 4 and 8 weeks after surgery, each group were tested on behavior, electrophysiology, muscle tension, muscle wet weight and histology, to evaluate function recovery of the muscles controlled by deep peroneal nerve in each group, and to compare recovery of the deep peroneal nerve repaired by different tibial nerve branches. Results Eight weeks after surgery,right foot of the rats in LHG,MHG and SNB group can be extended,toes can be completely opened. Rats in blank group showed limping gait, whose right foot can not be extended, right toe can not be opened, and muscle atrophied. At 4 and 8 weeks after the operation, the recovery rate of LHG, MHG, SNB group (at 4th weeks, 33.60 ±2.22)%, 33.07 ±2.38% and 35.91 ±2.02%; at 8th weeks, 67.16 ±5.74)%, 66.56 ±3.18% and 73.17 ± 5.33%, respectively)was higher than blank group(7.71±1.05% and 7.84±0.78%, respectively)on CMAP amplitude, tibialis anterior muscle contractility, tibialis anterior muscle cell area, muscle cell area. SNB group was superior to the LHG group and LHG group.And the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion All the proxi-mal tibial nerve muscle branchs can be used to repair the deep peroneal nerve injury, and the soleus nerve branch is the preferred donor nerve.

Objective:To explore an assay that can concisely, rapidly, and accurately quantify the amount of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells in the bone marrow or peripheral blood of patients after CAR-T cell immunotherapy by morphological analysis and flow cytometry assay, providing timely and accurate feedback for clinical treatment.Methods:We analyzed the CAR-T cell detection results in peripheral blood and bone marrow of 256 patients who received CAR-T cell immunotherapy in the Department of Hematology, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from August 2016 to August 2021. All 256 patients survived more than one month after CAR-T cell infusion. Among them, there were 118 patients with multiple myeloma, 68 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and 70 patients with lymphoma. The morphological characteristics, positive rate and detection rate of CAR-T cell in peripheral blood and bone marrow were analyzed by morphological methods. The positive rate and detection rate of CAR-T in peripheral blood and bone marrow were analyzed by flow cytometry protein L detection. χ 2 test was used to comprehensively analyze the difference between the detection rate of the combined analysis of the two methods and the detection rate of the single method. Results:CAR-T cells have significant morphological characteristics, and there are obvious morphological differences from normal lymphocytes. The detection rates of CAR-T cells in peripheral blood or bone marrow by morphological methods and flow cytometry were 88.28%(226/256) and 79.29% (203/256), respectively. When the two methods were combined, the detection rate of CAR-T cells can reach 99.22%, with statistically significant difference comparing to that of single method( P<0.05). Through the analysis of the detection results of peripheral blood at different time points, it was found that the average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry in 118 patients with multiple myeloma were 9.50% and 10.23% on the 7th day, and 13.50% and 15.19% respectively on the 15th day. On the 21st day, the average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry were 8.00% and 10.07%, respectively. The average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry in 68 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were 12.00% and 11.22% on the 7th day, and 21.00% and 23.10% respectively on the 15th day. On the 21st day, the average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry were 13.50% and 10.91%, respectively. The average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry in 70 lymphoma patients were 7.50% and 10.35% on the 7th day, and 9.00% and 10.35% respectively on the 15th day. The average detection rates of morphology and flow cytometry at 21 days were 6.50% and 5.69%, respectively. The number of CAR-T cells in samples from patients with different diseases reached a peak around the 15th day. Conclusion:The detection rate of CAR-T cells from peripheral blood or bone marrow was significantly higher with the combination of the 2 methods compared to the single method.
