1.Review on Stem Cells Used on Heart Regeneration
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2013;(11):1360-1362
[Objective] This article mainly discussed the potential of myocardial cellregeneration and the possible mechanisms involved. [Method] To study the mechanism of cardiac regeneration ability HSCs, this review studyed the relationship of the differentiation of cardiac stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, myocardial cells and myocardial regeneration and the possible mechanisms involved. [Result] Self-renewing, differentiation both in vitro and in vivo of the c-kit positive CSCs had been seen. No matter in physiological condition or after damage, the c-kit positive CSCs had clonality and the potential of multi-directional differentiation. Hematopoietic stem cells can generate cardiomyocytes and coronary blood vessels for human celltherapy. The ability of dedifferentiation cells to maintain and improve the ventricular function of a damaged heart is very limited. [Conclusion] CSCs and HSCs play an important role in reversing chronic ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure.
2.Treatment of Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis in children
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(17):1287-1290
Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura(HSP) is one of the most common vasculitides in children with many manifestations including skin purpura,arthritis,abdominal pain and renal involvement.The renal involvement(Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis,HSPN) is the principal cause of morbidity and major risk factor for prognosis in HSP.The paper reviewed the updated treatment strategy for HSPN.Accordingly,steroids,cyclophosphamide,mycophenolate mofetil,mizoribine,cyclosporine,triptolide,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) / angiotensin receptor blockers(ARB),plasma apheresis and tonsillectomy are possible indicator for the further therapy of HSPN.Furthermore,prospective randomized controlled treatment studies on children with severe HSPN would be needed.

Objective To investigated the neuroprotective effect of PTEN inhibitor BPV on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and its mechanism. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to induce a reperfusion model of middle cerebral artery occlusion for 1 h. During the reperfusion, the BPV solution (0. 2 mg/kg daily) or the equal volume of saline was injected intraperitonealy immediately. The neurological deficit scores were conducted at day 1, 3,5, and 7 after ischemia-reperfusion. At day 4, triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining was used to assess cerebral infarction volume. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) in cortical ischemic border zones. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression level of PTEN mRNA. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K, Akt, and p-GSK-3β. At day 7, Bielschowsky silver staining was used to detect the axonal distribution in the ischemic border zone of the striatum. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP). Results At day 4 after ischemia-reperfusion, the infarct volume (32. 27% ± 1. 71% vs. 45. 49% ± 2. 12% ; P < 0. 001), TNF-α concentration in the cortical ischemic border zones (134. 17 ± 10. 38 pg/ml vs. 264. 17 ± 24. 84 pg/ml; P < ), and PTEN mRNA level (1. 19 ± 0. 08 vs. 2. 50 ± 0. 06; P < 0. 001) in the rats of the BPV group were al significantly lower than those of the normal saline group. The IL-10 concentration (186. 83 ± 10. 83 pg/ml vs. 147. 83 ± 11. 62 pg/ml; P < 0. 001), and the expression levels of PI3K (0. 43 ± 0. 08 vs. 0. 26 ± 0. 06; P = 0. 004), Akt (0. 52 ± 0. 05 vs. 0. 40 ± 0. 04;P = 0. 001), and p-GSK-3β (0. 75 ± 0. 08 vs. 0. 38 ± 0. 06; P < 0. 001) were al significantly higher than those of the normal saline group. At day 7 after ischemia-reperfusion, the neurological deficit score (4. 83 ± 0. 41 vs. 6. 33 ± 0. 52; P < 0. 001) in the rats of the BPV group was significantly lower than that of the normal saline group. The axon densities in the ischemic border zones (35. 51% ± 2. 45% vs. 25. 31% ± 2. 79% ; P < 0. 001) and the expression level of MBP (32. 56% ± 3. 46% vs. 27. 81% ± 4. 18% ; P = 0. 037) were significantly higher than those of the normal saline group. Conclusions BPV has neuroprotective effect for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Its mechanism may be associated with the up-regulation of PTEN downstream proteins PI3K, Akt and p-GSK-3β expression to regulate inflammatory mediators and reduce the inflammatory response.

BACKGROUND:High liquid-absorbing property, high-capacity imbibition property and high antibacterial property of chitosan dressings can be promoted by chemical modification.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of high-absorbing chitosan dressings on hemostasis and wound healing.
METHODS: (1) Venule bleeding experiment: symmetry oozing wounds were produced on the rabbit skin, which were respectively covered by high-absorbing chitosan dressings and sterile gauze. Then, hemostatic time and bleeding volume were recorded. (2) Deep II degree burn wound healing experiment: 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were selected to prepare deep II degree burn wounds on the back, and then model rats were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group with high-absorbing chitosan dressings and control group with vaseline gauze. After 3, 7, 14, 21 days, wound tissues were taken and analyzed histopathologicaly.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Venule bleeding experiment: The bleeding amount and hemostatic time were significantly lower in the high-absorbing chitosan dressing group than the sterile gauze group (P < 0.05,P < 0.01). (2) Deep II degree burn wound healing experiment: the unhealed wound areas were significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group at days 7, 14, 21 after repair (P < 0.05). After 3 days of wound repair, necrosis of the squamous epithelial layer and the structural damage of the hair folicle in the corium layer and skin appendages were found in both two groups. Meanwhile, the infiltration caused by varying numbers of neutrophils and lymphocytes inside the damaged skin tissues was visible. After 21 days of repair, the epithelium healed wel in the control group, with a little lymphocyte infiltration and formation of crust on the skin surface; while in the experimental group, the epithelium healed wel, with complete squamous epithelial layer and no inflammatory cel infiltration. Thus, these experimental findings reveal that the high-absorbing chitosan dressing has an excelent effect on hemostasis and wound healing.
