It is necessary to determine the position of break points in order to study the structure rearrangement of chromosomes and gene mapping. Therefore it is indispensable to set up region, banded idiogram and nomenclature system. Nesbitt and Franke reported an idiogram and a nomenclature system for band patterns of mouse chromosomes which thereafter was accepted by the Committee on Standardized Genetic Nomenclture. Nevertheless, there are few data of systematical contrast studies in this domain. There are still difficulties for distinguishing between some chromosomes because they are similar and variability. In this paper, we compared our G-banding karyotypes with the banding patterns of Nesbitt's idiogram. Our 400 karyotypes come from bone marrow cells and fibroblasts of several normal inbred and outbred mice. Each banding obtained from each well banded chromosomes of different cells were contrasted to that of Nesbitt's idiogram. The results are as follows: 1. we have not found so many bands in one metaphase chromosome banded with trypsin-Giemsa technique as reported by Nesbitt. 2. The banding numbers and positions on each well banding chromosome picked out from different metaphase plates were consistent with those of Nesbitt's idiogrom. But some bands such as 1E1 and 1E2; 2E5-2F5; 4A3-4A5; 5C1-5C3 can't usually be distinguished in our data. 3. We observed that the major banding structure of each karyotype remains stability, but the minor banding structure appears to be variablitity in inbred mice. In addition, 6 variant pictures and region idiograms in the G-banding structure of each chromosome were showed and some notices for correct analysis of mouse karyotype were discussed.

Objective To investigate the effects of baicalin on the apoptosis and cell migration of intestinal epithelial cells 6 (IEC-6) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) . Methods LPS was adopted to establish LPS-induced cells injury model. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) assay and Elisa kits were used to evaluate the effect of LPS on the tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) and interleukin 6 ( IL-6) concentrations of IEC-6. Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the effect of baicalin ( in the dosage of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 μg/mL ) on the cell apoptosis. Cell migration was observed and calculated on a wounding model of IEC-6 cells induced by a pipette tip. Results Compared with the control group, the survival rate of IEC-6 in 1.0 μg·mL-1 LPS group was much lowered, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations were significantly increased, the apoptotic rate of IEC-6 was increased and the cell migration activity was significantly decreased ( P<0.05) . Compared with the model group, IEC-6 apoptosis was relieved to various degrees in baicalin groups, the apoptotic rate of IEC-6 was obviously decreased (P<0.05) and cell migration activity was increased significantly (P<0.01) in 10.0 μg·mL-1 baicalin group. Conclusion Baicalin has the capacity of protecting IEC-6 from LPS-induced injury and increasing cell migration activity.

Objective To elucidate the prediction ability of monocyte monolayer assay(MMA)used in hemolytic dis-ease of fetus and newborn(HDFN)caused by IgG anti-M.Methods Plasma from eight pregnant women containing IgG an-ti-M were collected,and were divided into two groups(4 cases with HDFN,with severe clinical symptoms such as fetal hy-drops,and 4 cases without HDFN)according to the clinical outcomes.M antigen positive cells were sensitized with dithioth-reitol(DTT)treated plasma from eight pregnant women respectively.MMA was performed by coincubation with monocytes and sensitized M cells,along with negative and positive control set up.T-test was conducted to compare the difference in phagocytic efficiency between two groups.Results The phagocytic efficiency in group with HDFN were 15.37%,13.05%,9.17%and 24.50%respectively,with the mean value of 15.52%,while the group without HDFN were 8.74%,11.07%,5.12%and 6.23%respectively,with the mean value of 7.79%.There was no significant difference in phagocytic efficiency between two groups(P>0.05).The mean values of both groups were not significantly different from the negative control(P>0.05),but both were significantly lower than positive control(P<0.05).Conclusion The low phagocytic efficiency couldn't convince that the MMA is an effective predictor for the HDFN caused by IgG anti-M,indicating that another mech-anism might be responsible for it rather than monocyte phagocytosis.The assessment of the peak systolic velocity in middle cerebral artery of the fetal should be considered in the management for pregnant women who produce IgG anti-M to estimate the situation of fetal anemia.

The objectiue was to explore how to improve stem cell derivation from human great saphenous vein. After the saphenous vein was cut into small pieces, the cells of the vessel wall were obtained by tissue adherent method and digestion with type Ⅱ collagenase. The morphological changes of blood vessel wall were observed under inverted microscope. The survival of vascular wall cells was assessed by trypan blue staining. Stem cells doubly positive for CD34 and CD117 were sorted out by immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometry. The cells obtained by tissue adherence method exhibited signs of fibrotic changes and aging at the third passage (P3), while the cells extracted by enzymatic digestion still showed colony-like growth. Survival rates of these two groups of cells were (91.7±1.2)% and (97.2±0.7)%, (P=0.005). The results of flow cytometry showed that the positive rates of CD34 and CD117 double positive cells in these two groups were (0.16± 0.05)% and (0.44±0.07)%, respectively, with statistical significance (P=0.005). Immunofluorescent staining showed that the positive rates of double positive stem cells in the two groups were (89.41±2.06)% and (94.03±1.83)%, P<0.05 one week after the sorted stem cells were cultured. The positive rates of CD31, VEGF2 and SMA in the stem cells determined by flow cytometry were (0.12±0.01)%, (0.19±0.02)% and (0.45±0.01)%, respectively, which were not statistically different from those of the control groups. This could rule out substantial inclusion of mature endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Tube forming experiment confirmed that these vascular stem cells had developmental plasticity. More viable and morphologically healthy vascular stem cells can be derived by enzymatic digestion. These cells can be widely used in clinical and basic research.

【Objective】 To establish an experimental method for detecting phagocytosis of sensitized red blood cells in vitro by flow cytometry. 【Methods】 Mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of blood donors and cultured in a cell incubator for 1 hour, and then adherent monocytes were isolated and obtained. Dib-positive red blood cells (RBCs) were labeled with PKH26 and then sensitized with IgG anti-Dib. The sensitized RBCs were added to monocytes for in vitro phagocytosis assay. Monocytes were labeled with FITC anti-human CD14, then phagocytosis was measured by flow cytometry, and the phagocytic efficiency was calculated. The method was used to detect the phagocytic efficiency of monocytes on human IgG anti-D sensitized RBCs with different titers. 【Results】 The phagocytic efficiency of monocytes was averaged at 5% (1.2%~7.6%, SD 3.30) versus 81% (71.4%~92.7%, SD 8.65) in the negative versus positive control group, respectively. Phagocytic activity of monocytes mediated by anti-D was correlated with the antibody titer. The phagocytosis efficiency was within 10% when the antibody titer was lower than 32 and increased sharply when the titer was between 32 to 128, it entered a plateau and stabilized at 80% at the titer above 256. 【Conclusion】 A detection platform for detecting phagocytosis-sensitized RBCs in vitro by flow cytometry has been successfully established. It can be used to assess the clinical significance of red blood cell allotype or autologous IgG antibodies.
