BACKGROUND: Differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) into neurons requires two processes: orientation and differentiation. Orientation and differentiation are results from different gene expression in cells with the same gene bank. Gene expression requires a certain condition. Changes in extracellular matrix can induce changes in cell morphology and gene expression manner. OBJECTIVE: To explore the possibility of BMSC differentiation into neuron-like cells under tissue extract from rat damaged brain. METHODS: The fifth passage of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-transfected BMSCs was induced to differentiate in brain tissue extract from ischemia/reperfusion rats or normal rats. A blank control was set. Cell morphology change was observed under the phase contrast microscope, and then evaluated using immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Primarily cultured BMSCs were purified and amplified, and then showed even spindle shape. The third passage of BMSCs was positive for CD44 and CD106, but negative for CD34. Under the fluorescence microscope, BMSCs showed fluorescence expression, but the strength was weak 24 hours following GFP transfection. Numerous cells presented significant green fluorescence 48 hours later. Following adding brain tissue extract from ischemia/reperfusion rats. Induced cells presented neuron-like feature, but neuron specific enolase specific antibody presented positive expression. Compared with the blank control group, the differentiation rate of BMSCs was significantly increased in the ischemia/reperfusion group and normal group (P < 0.05). The increased range was significantly greater in the ischemia/reperfusion group than the normal group (P < 0.05). These results indicated that brain tissue extract from ischemia/reperfusion rats can successfully induce the differentiation of BMSCs into neuron-like cells.

A novel series of fingolimod analogues containing diphenyl ether moiety were designed and synthesized based on the modification of immunosuppressive agent fingolimod used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Compounds were evaluated in vivo for lymphopenic activity and heart rate affection. Most compounds showed moderate lymphopenic activity. It is worth noting that compounds 6c, 6d and 14c-14e showed considerable immunosuppressive activities comparable to fingolimod. And compound 14e had no effect on heart rate.

Objective To investigate serological blood typing of the ABO locus which contradict to general law of inheritance in parentage,and the underlying reasons for severe hemolytic disease of newborn(HDN).Methods To research the family whose newborn is AB phenotypes,mother is O phenotypes and father is AB phenotypes.The familiy were genotyped by parentage tests, serological tests,PCR-SSP and direct DNA sequencing at exons 6 and 7 of ABO gene.At the salne time,HDN was detected by micro column gel Coombs (MGCT), and the primary fingerposts of the routine blood tests. Biochemical tests were dynamically observed.Results The results of parentage tests showed that three-generation pedigree have parent-child relationship. The red blood cell(RBC)of this AB phenotypes of this family members strongly agglutinated(4+)with diverse monoelonal anti-A and anti-B antibodies,and their serum did not contain anti-A and anti-B antibodies in blood anti-typing.PCR-SSP can not detect their A and B gene,but DNA sequencing at exons6 and 7 of ABO gene revealed that it had the B(A)803C→G mutation.Conclusions The genetm basis of this parentage are B(A)803G blood gene which harbored both A and B difunctionality of glyeosyhransferases.This was the first report that severe HDN resulting from a large number of A and B antigens in RBC of B(A)phenotype of a newborn,which has clinical significance on ABO locus.

Objective To observe the differences of cerebral activation pattern with resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) between patients with spasmodic torticollis (ST) and healthy controls,thus to investigate the pathogenesis of ST.Methods Nineteen ST patients and 21 age,sex and education-matched healthy controls,recruited from the Department of Neurology,First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between November 2012 and January 2016,were included in this study.rs-fMRI and factional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (fALFF) were used to obtain differences between patients with ST and healthy controls,and correlative analysis was made on fALFF values of abnormal brain regions and ST patients' symptom severity (Tsui scores).Results Compared with healthy controls,patients with ST had significantly increased fALFF in the left cerebellum and significantly decreased fALFF in the left posterior cingulate cortex/precuneus,right posterior cingulate cortex/precuneus,left middle temporal gyrus,right angular gyrus,left post-central gyrus,right supplementary motor area (t =-5.714-5.920,P ＜0.01),and abnormal brain regions' fALFF values had no correlation with patients' age of onset,disease course,symptom severity (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Abnormal sensorimotor area,default mode network and cerebellum dysfunction may play a role in the pathophysiology of ST.

To study the lead excretion effect of the chelator Zn-DTPA on the lead intoxication mice, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was applied to detect the lead content of biological samples. The acute lead intoxication mice model was established by injecting lead acetate intraperitoneally with the dose of 1 mg. Zn-DTPA was administered intraperitoneally to mice once daily for five consecutive days 4 h after intoxication. Control group, model group, combination of Zn-DTPA and Ca-DTPA group were evaluated at the same time. The urine was collected every day. The mice were sacrificed in batches in the 2rd, 4th, 6th day. Biological samples including urine, whole blood, femur and brain were prepared and nitrated. Lead concentration was detected by ICP-MS. The result showed that Zn-DTPA could increase lead content in urine markedly and reduce lead content in blood, femur and brain.

Objective To investigate whether cotransplant with xenogenetic neonatal porcine Sertoli cells (NPSCs) could prolong rat islet allograft survival and its mechanisms.Methods 1500 islets equivalent quantity (IEQ) and 1×10~7 NPSCs were implanted under renal capsule of diabetic Wistar rats.Islets implanted alone were used as control group (n=6);islets co-transplanted with NPSCs under left renal capsule of recipients served as experimental group (n=6);meanwhile,islets and NPSCs implanted into the different sides of kidneys were used as another control grouP(n=4).Blood glucose level was measured everyday.The graft-bearing kidneys at the time of rejection were Results Co-transplantation with NPSCs to the same site significantly prolonged islet allograft survival (mean survive time,16.3±1.4 days vs.5.7±1.0 days in islet transplant alone control group,P<0.05).In contrast,transplantation with NPSCs and islets separately did not prolong the islet allograft survival (5.3±0.5 days).HE staining showed plenty of local infiltrated lymphocytes in the transplanted site of the eontrol group.which were demonstrated as mainly CD3+ T cells by immunopathology.The local expression of Bcl-2 was markedly elevated in co-transplantation group as compared with the other 2 groups,while there were no significant differences in the HO-1 expression among these groups.Conclusion Co-transplantation with xenogenic NPSCs can significantly prolong islet allograft survival in rats.The immunoprotective mechanism may be associateel with the inhibition of lymphocyte infiltration and the enhancement of the local expression of protective gene Bcl-2.
