OBJECTIVETo analyze the drift of the complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) of T cell receptor beta (TCRbeta) chain variable region in T cells of healthy volunteers cultured with interleukin-2 (IL-2).

METHODST cells were isolated from the peripheral blood and cultured in vitro in the presence of IL-2. The non-specific killing effect of the cells was analyzed by LDH releasing assay, and the distribution of TCRbeta chain CDR3 in healthy volunteers by immunoscope spectratyping method to evaluate the clonality of the T cells.

RESULTSThe results showed Gaussian distribution of TCR Vbeta gene CDR3 in healthy volunteers. The T cell cultured with IL-2, however, displayed some anomalous and oligoclonal expansion in different TCR Vbeta families without killing effect against nasophargngal carcinoma cell line CNE2.

CONCLUSIONIL-2 may affect TCRbeta chain CDR3 distribution in T cells cultured in vitro.

Objective:To investigate the induction of tanshinoneⅡA (TanⅡA) on the differentiation of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPDMSCs) into cardiomyocytes, and to provide an experimental basis for TanⅡA as a cardiomyocyte differentiation inducer.Methods:The hPDMSCs were treated with different concentrations of TanⅡA (0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, and 10.0mg·L-1) , and the nontoxic dose of TanⅡA (0.1mg·L-1) was screened by MTT assay for experiment.The hPDMSCs were divided into control group, 5-aza induction (10μmol·L-1) group, and TanⅡA induction (0.1mg·L-1) group.After culture for 20d, the expressions ofα-sarcomeric actin (α-SCA) in the cells in various groups were detected with immunohistochemistry;the positive expression rates of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the cells in various groups were detected with immunofluorescence, and the differentation rates of cardiomyocytes were calculated.The expression levels of GATA-binding protein 4 (GATA4) , atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) , cTnI, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) andβ-catenin in the cells were detected with Western blotting method.Results:The biological characteristics of hPDMSCs accorded with the mesenchymal stem cells.The MTT results showed that when the concentration of TanⅡA was more than 0.1mg·L-1, the cell survival rates were decreased with the increase of concentration;the cells in control group showed a rapid growth trend before 12d, and the proliferation activities of the cells began to decrease on the 12th day.Compared with control group, the cell activities in 5-aza induction group and TanⅡA induction group were significantly decreased (P＜0.05) .The immunohistochemistry staining results showed that the cells in control group didn't expressα-SCA, and the cells in 5-aza induction group and TanⅡA induction group expressedα-SCA, especially in TanⅡA induction group.Compared with control group, the expression levels of GATA4 (t5-aza=2.937, P5-aza＜0.05;tTanⅡA=4.769, PTanⅡA＜0.05) , ANF (t5-aza=3.728, P5-aza＜0.05;tTanⅡA=5.912, PTanⅡA＜0.05) , cTnI (t5-aza=3.623, P5-aza＜0.05;tTanⅡA=7.153, PTanⅡA＜0.05) and GSK-3β (t5-aza=2.995, P5-aza＜0.05;tTanⅡA=5.420, PTanⅡA＜0.05) proteins in the cells in 5-aza induction group and TanⅡA induction group were significantly increased, and the expression levels ofβ-catenin (t5-aza=2.985, P5-aza＜0.05;tTanⅡA=6.951, PTanⅡA＜0.05) protein were significantly decreased;compared with 5-aza induction group, the expression levels of GATA4, ANF, and GSK-3βproteins in TanⅡA induction group were increased (P＜0.05) .Conclusion:TanⅡA can induce the differentiation of hPDMSCs into cardiomyocytes, which has better effect than 5-aza, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of serum restriction on the invasiveness and expressions of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in human trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo cells in vitro.

METHODSHTR-8/SVneo cells were cultured in the presence of 1%, 5%, or 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) for 48 h. Fluorescence quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence staining were employed to examine the changes in IGF-1 and MMP-2 expressions at both the mRNA and protein levels in HTR-8/SVneo cells; MTT assay and Transwell invasion assay were used to assess the changes of the cell proliferation and the cell invasion ability, respectively. MMP-2 expression, cell proliferation and invasiveness were also assessed in the cells treated with recombinant human IGF-1.

RESULTSHTR-8/SVneo cells exhibited significantly lowered cell proliferation in cultures containing low concentrations of FBS (P<0.05). The expressions of IGF-1 and MMP-2 at both mRNA and protein levels were significantly down-regulated and the invasiveness was significantly lowered in cells cultured in the medium containing 1% FBS as compared with those of cells cultured in the presence of 5% and 10% FBS (P<0.05). Treatment of the cells with recombinant human IGF-1 significantly up-regulated MMP-2 expression (P<0.05) and increased the cell invasiveness (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSFBS restriction down-regulates IGF-1 expression in human trophoblast HTR-8/SVneo cells and suppress the cell invasiveness possibly by suppressing MMP-2 expression. Treatment with recombinant human IGF-1 can up-regulate MMP-2 expression and promote the invasiveness of HTR-8/SVneo cells.

Objective·To analyze the basic medical insurance policies for children in Shanghai in 2011 and 2017, and compare with those of the other three municipalities to understand the basic medical security status of children in four municipalities in China and analyze the existing problems. Methods?·?The current effective children's basic medical insurance policies and child critical illness insurance policies and related insurance systems in four municipalities were collected systematically. The types of basic medical insurance for children in various municipalities and their funding standards, their own expenses and the proportion of government subsidies, the proportion of outpatient emergency payoff lines and reimbursement at all levels of medical institutions, and the coverage and coverage of major illness insurance reimbursement were collected and compared mainly. Results?·?The basic medical insurance for children in Shanghai is a "double insurance" system, which contained children's hospitalization fund and basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents. The basic medical insurance for children in other municipalities mainly consisted of basic medical insurance for urban (rural) residents. Compared with 2011, the level of financing and the reimbursement of the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents and of the children's hospitalization fund in Shanghai in 2017 was increased. In 2017, the level of financing of basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents in Shanghai was 1?100 yuan, which was slightly lower than that of Beijing medical insurance for urban residents and new rural cooperative medical insurance and was higher than that of basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents in Tianjin and Chongqing, and the individual payment level of Shanghai was the lowest. The hospitalization payoff lines in Shanghai were lower than those of other municipalities. Shanghai's outpatient and inpatient reimbursement levels were higher those of than other municipalities. There wasn't a capping line in Shanghai. There were capping lines in other municipalities. There was a great difference in the insurance policy of the major diseases in four municipalities. Conclusion?·?According to their own actual conditions, models for children's medical care systems that suited each municipalities’ social and economic development have been established. Shanghai children's basic medical insurance basically meets the needs of children's growth but needs improvement in terms of the type and level of medical security for major illnesses.
