Objective To evaluate the effects of recombinant human hematopoietic synergistic factor (rhHSF) on rapid mobilization of the peripheral blood stem cells. Methods 8 monkeys were divided into rhG-CSF 10?g/(kg?day) and rhG-CSF 10?g/(kg?day) + rhHSF 500?g/(kg?day) group, with 4 monkeys in each group. All of them received rhG-CSF subcutaneously once daily for 4 days, and in the latter group, the animals received rhHSF subcutaneously in single dose on the fifth day. Results The highest counts of CD34~+ cell, CFU-GM and neutrophils in animals receiving rhHSF only were 23, 1.8 and 3.3 times of baseline value at 180, 45 and 60 min, while those in animals receiving rhG-CSF and rhHSF were 41.3, 8.3 and 4.9 times of base line value. Conclusion rhHSF can rapidly mobilize hematopoietic stem cells and neutrophils into peripheral blood, and it is found to synergize with G-CSF to augment stem cell mobilization, suggesting a potent clinical utility of rhHSF in peripheral blood stem cells transplantation.

Objective To investigate the effect of recombinant rat augmenter of liver regeneration (rrALR) on the biological activities of rat glomerular mesangial cell(GMC) with or without IL-1?. Methods GMC proliferation and the level of TGF-? protein were determined by 3H-TdR incorporation and ELISA. Results The stimulating activity of IL-1? to rat GMC was enhanced by rrALR with the concentrations from 0.005 pg/ml to 0. 1ng/ml. But rrALR could not promote the proliferation of GMC without IL-1?. Conclusion rrALR may be a new mediator of inflammation, which promote proliferation and TGF-? secretion in rat GMC stimulated by IL-1?.

Objective To investigate the trend of the national Kaschin-Beck disease condition, and provide the scientific basis for the government to make preventing strategy. Methods The data were collected from national surveillance on Kaschin-Beck disease(KBD) condition from 2000 to 2007 by restrospective method. The national X-ray detective rates and KBD condition in the eastern and western areas of China were analyzed. Results Monitoring data were collected from 189 monitoring points in 14 provinces of China, and 21 287 X-ray films were photographed of right hands of children from 2000 to 2007. X-ray detective rate was decreased significantly of national KBD from 2000 to 2007. The condition in the west of China is slightly more serious than the eastern areas, but the average of X-ray detective rate was also decreased from 21.75% to 7.30%. National condition is basically controlled. X-ray detective rate had been controlled below 5%, exept for Qinghai, Tibet and Inner Mongolia and so on. Conclusions Ninty percent of the wards have reached the controlled level according to the X diagnosis standard. In terms of the severity of the disease, most of the wards are occupied by patients with slight condition, 10% ward with moderate condition, less than 1% ward with serious condition.

Objective To investigate the effects of recombinant human augmenter of liver regeneration (rhALR) on renal inflammation in acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by renal ischemia reperfusion (IR). Methods SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group,IR group,rhALR1 group (100 μg/kg) and rhALR2 group (200 μg/kg).Both renal pedicles of rats were identified and occluded with microvascular clamps for 60 min to induce acute kidney injury (AKI).Blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels were evaluated using a Hitachi 747 automatic analyzer. For histological examination, sections were stained with HE. The activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) was detected by spectrophotometer.Expression of TNF-α,ICAM-1,MCP-1 was determined by Western blotting. Results Blood urea nitrogen,serum creatinine levels and the injury of kidney were improved significantly in rhALR group as compared with IR group (all P< 0.05).They were improved more significantly in rhALR2 group as compared to in rhALR1 group (all P<0.05).The protein levels of TNF-α,ICAM-1,MCP-1 and the activity of MPO in kidneys from the sham-operated rats were low,and increased significantly after renal ischemia reperfusion injury (all P<0.05).After treated with rhALR,the expression of TNF-α,ICAM-1,MCP-1 and the activity of MPO were decreased significantly in kidneys as compared to those in IR group (all P<0.05),which decreased more significantly in rhALR2 group than those in rhALR1 group (all P< 0.05). Conclusions nhALR can protect kidneys from ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.The mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of renal inflammatory cells infiltration and down-regulated expressions of YNF-α,ICAM-1 and MCP-1 in the kidney.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of recombination rat augmenter of liver regeneration (rrALR) on tubular cell injury and renal dysfunction in rats with acute renal failure (ARF)induced by gentamicin. Methods One hundred fifty female Wistar rots were randomly divided into 5 groups: group A (control), group B (gentamincin 140 mg/kg+ saline 100 μg/kg), group C (gentarnincin 140 mg/kg +blank plasmid 100 μg/kg), group Dl (gentaminein 140 mg/kg+rrALR 80 μg/kg), group D2 (gentamincin 140 mg/kg +rrALR 160 μg/kg). Rats were sacrificed at day 4, 8, 12, 16 and 21 after gentamicin first injection. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr) and urine N-aeetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (UNAG) were measured. The histopathologic changes were observed by periodic aeid-Schiff (PAS) staining. Protein expression of ALR and PCNA in renal tissue was detected using immtmohistochemistry and Western blot. Results Compared with control rots, the levels of BUN, Scr and UNAG were significantly increased in ARF rats at day 4, 8, 12 and 16 (P<0.05), however, the renal dysfunction and the renal histopathologieal injury were significantly improved in ARF rats simultaneously administered with rrALR (group D) compared with ARF rats (group B and C). The protein level of ALR, the number of PCNA positive tubular ceils and the proliferation index (PI) in group D were significantly higher than those of group B and C (P<0.05). Conclusion rrALR can promote the regeneration of tubular cells in nephrotoxie ARF rats and ameliorate renal dysfunction.
