BACKGROUND:Semaphorin7A (Sema7A) is a kind of cel surface protein, which can promote the fusion of osteoclasts and the migration of osteoblasts at the same time, affecting the dynamic balance of the bone. It is speculated that Sema7A siRNA may inhibit osteoblast apoptosis induced by titanium particles. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Sema7A on the preosteoblast activity inhibited by titanium particles. METHODS:Mouse MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts at passages 6 and 7 were divided into four groups: in blank control group, MC3T3-E1 cels were cultured alone; in standard control group, cel were cultured with titanium particles; in experimental groups 1 and 2, the cels were cultured with titanium particles+Sema7A overexpression plasmids and titanium particles+Sema7A siRNA, respectively. Apoptotic rate of MC3T3-E1 cels was detected by flow cytometry; the mRNA expression of bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin and type I colagen was detected by Q-PCR; western blot assay was adopted to detect the protein expression of bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin and type I colagen; alizarin red calcium nodule staining was taken to detect the degree of osteoblast mineralization. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expressions of bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin and type I colagen were decreased in the standard control group and experimental group 1, but these expression were significantly increased in the experimental group 2 compared with the standard control group (P < 0.05). Flow cytometry results suggested that the apoptotic rate of osteoblasts in the experimental group 1 was significantly higher than that in the other groups (P < 0.05), and the apoptotic rate in the experimental group 2 was lower than that in the standard control group (P < 0.05). Alizarin red staining showed that there were no obvious mineralized nodules in the experimental group 1, but mineralized nodules formed in the experimental group 2. In brief, the genetic interference technique that inhibits the activity of Sema7A can interfere the process of mouse MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast differentiation inhibited by titanium particles, and thus provide a feasible way for the clinical treatment of wear particles-induced osteolysis using biotechnology.

BACKGROUND:Sema7A is a kind of cel surface protein, which can promote the fusion of osteoclasts and the migration of osteoblast at the same time, affecting the dynamic balance of bone. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether Sema7A siRNA has ainhibitory effect on the osteoclast activation in the process of osteolysis which induced by titanium particles. METHODS:The precursor osteoclasts with the concentration of 4×109 RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 7 days of culture, the expression levels of interleukin-1, interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor α, matrix metaloproteinase-9 and the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB in the positive control, /L were seeded on 96-wel plates containing glass cover slips, and divided into four groups: blank control, positive control, experiment and negative control groups. The cel culture medium was added into the control group. 20 μL un-transfected siRNA supernatant was added into the positive control group. 20 μL transfected Sema7A siRNA supernatant was added into the experiment group. 20 μL transfected control siRNA supernatant was added into the negative control group. The supernatant was obtained through the co-culture between titanium particles solution and monocyte-macrophage cel line RAW264.7of mouse for 24 hours. siRNA was transfected into mononuclear macrophage cel lines RAW264.7 of mice. negative control and experiment groups were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The expression level of each factor in the experiment group was lower than that in the positive control and negative control groups (P < 0.05). At 8 days of culture, the proliferation activity of osteoclasts and the number of positive cels stained by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase in the positive control, negative control and experiment groups were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The proliferation activity of osteoclasts and the number of positive cels stained by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase in the experiment group were lower than those in the control and negative groups (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that Sema7A siRNA has a certain inhibitory effect on the osteoclast activation induced by titanium particles.

Objective To evaluate the influence and significance of preoperative design of surgical approach on stem cell transplantation via stereotactic surgery. Methods Six patients with stroke in the basal ganglia region were selected. The transplantation target and transcranial approach point were designed by magnetic resonance examination before stem cell transplantation via stereotacfic surgery to guarantee that the line connecting the transplantation target and transcranial approach point could avoid the important functional areas, the ventricular system and the softening focus. Postoperative magnetic resonance examination was performed to observe whether the practical target and surgical approach coincided with the preoperative design or not. Results The practical transplantation target was coincided with the designed transplantation target, distributed around the softening focus without implanted cells in the softening focus. Surgical approach was coincided with the preoperative design and it successfully avoided the important brain functional area, ventricular system and softening focus.Conelnsion The preoperative design of surgical approach can not only ensure the cells being exactly transplanted into the reservation target and guarantee the curative effect, but also promise the surgical approach successfully avoiding the important brain functional area, ventricular system and softening focus and reduce the operative injury.

BACKGROUND: This meta-analysis aimed to determine whether extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), compared with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CCPR), improves outcomes in adult patients with cardiac arrest (CA). DATA RESOURCES: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and China Biological Medicine Database were searched for relevant articles. The baseline information and outcome data (survival, good neurological outcome at discharge, at 3–6 months, and at 1 year after CA) were collected and extracted by two authors. Pooled risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS: In six studies 2260 patients were enrol ed to study the survival rate to discharge and long-term neurological outcome published since 2000. A significant effect of ECPR was observed on survival rate to discharge compared to CCPR in CA patients (RR 2.37, 95%CI 1.63–3.45, P<0.001), and patients who underwent ECPR had a better long-term neurological outcome than those who received CCPR (RR 2.79, 95%CI 1.96–3.97, P<0.001). In subgroup analysis, there was a significant difference in survival to discharge favoring ECPR over CCPR group in OHCA patients (RR 2.69, 95%CI 1.48–4.91, P=0.001). However, no significant difference was found in IHCA patients (RR 1.84, 95%CI 0.91–3.73, P=0.09). CONCLUSION: ECPR showed a beneficial effect on survival rate to discharge and long-term neurological outcome over CCPR in adult patients with CA.

OBJECTIVES: To study the relationship between early parenteral nutrient intake and the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants with gestational age less than 32 weeks who could not receive enteral nutrition within one week after birth. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on preterm infants born between October 2017 and August 2022 with gestational age less than 32 weeks who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Children's Hospital of Soochow University within 24 hours after birth and relied solely on parenteral nutrition within the first week of life. The study population included 79 infants with BPD and 73 infants without BPD. Clinical data during hospitalization were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The proportions of infants with weight loss of more than 10% after birth, extrauterine growth retardation, and parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis in the BPD group were higher than in the non-BPD group (P<0.05). The time to regain birth weight, time to achieve full enteral feeding, and corrected gestational age at discharge were longer in the BPD group than in the non-BPD group. The Z-scores of physical growth at corrected gestational age of 36 weeks were lower in the BPD group than in the non-BPD group (P<0.05). The BPD group had a higher fluid intake and a lower calories intake in the first week than the non-BPD group (P<0.05). The starting dose and total amount of amino acids, glucose, and lipids in the first week were lower in the BPD group than in the non-BPD group (P<0.05). The BPD group had a higher glucose-to-lipid ratio on the third day and higher energy-to-nitrogen and glucose-to-lipid ratios on the seventh day after birth than the non-BPD group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Preterm infants with BPD had lower intake of amino acids and lipids and a lower proportion of calories provided by amino acids and lipids in the first week of life, which suggests an association between early parenteral nutrition intake and the development of BPD.

The study was aimed to explore whether there are leukemic characteristics in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) from leukemic patients as compared with normal controls. The mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow of normal volunteers and patients with APL and CML were isolated, then cultured and proliferated in vitro. The morphology, growth curve and cell surface markers of two different sources mesenchymal stem cells were investigated for detecting whether the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived from leukemia patients have the specific abnormal fusion gene of leukemia cells through fluorescent in situ hybridization. The results indicated that there was no significant difference between the mesenchymal stem cells derived from different subjects, the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived from leukemia patients did not have the clonal malignant fusion gene as seen in the leukemia cells. Taken altogether, mesenchymal stem cells derived from leukemia patients had no biological differences as compared with those from normal volunteers, and no malignant clonal abnormality was found. It is concluded that mesenchymal stem cells derived from leukemia patients as an alternative vehicle may be used for assistant of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or cell therapy and gene therapy.
