BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can be induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells in new environment after transplantation, and then to replace damaged cells for reconstructing neural circuit. OBJECTIVE: To establish the co-culture system between rat BMSCs and neural cells in vitro, and to study the influence of neural cells on the differentiation of BMSCs into neuron-like cells in the co-culture system. METHODS: The neural cells obtained from Wistar rat fetal brain tissue and BMSCs gained from rat thighbone were co-cultured in Transwell culture plate. The morphological changes of BMSCs were observed and the special markers of neural cells in BMSCs were examined by immunofluorescence on the fifth day of the co-culture. The results were compared with control group which where BMSCs were alone cultured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: BMSCs in the neural cells co-culture system extended, were radial, connected each other. Neuron specific enolase immunoreactions showed positive results, showing neuron-like cells. The positive ratio of neuron specific enolase-positive cells was (33.0±10.5)%. However, BMSCs in the control group did not express neuron morphological character. Immunofluorescence exhibited that cells were negative for neuron specific enolase. These indicate that microenvironment provided by neurons improves the differentiation of BMSCs into neuron-like cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of insulin on vascular diameter of the peri -infarct region and infarct volume after cerebral infarction in mice. Methods Forty male C57/BL6j mice w ere randomly divided into a control group ( n = 5), a cerebral infarction group ( n = 15), a cerebral insulin resistance group (n = 5), and a cerebral insulin resistance infarction group ( n = 15). A model of cerebral infarction w as induced by the photochemical method. A model of cerebral insulin resistance w as induced by intracerebroventricular injection of streptozocin. Tw o -photon confocal microscope w as used to in vivo evaluate the changes of vascular diameter in the peri-infarct region at 20 min after insulin injection into the cerebelomedulary cistern. After modeling of cerebral infarction, artificial cerebrospinal fluid or insulin (10 ng/ml) w as immediately injected into the cerebelomedulary cistern, and the effect of insulin on cerebral infarct volume w as evaluated at 24 h after infarction. Results Insulin did not have significant effect on various types of cerebral vascular diameters in the normal control group, but it significantly contracted cerebral arteries ( -23.16% ±6.86% and -23.32% ±6.40%, respectively; al P <0.001) and penetrating arteries ( -15.20% ±5.51% and -16.40% ±4.27%, respectively; al P < 0.001) in the cerebral insulin resistance group and the cerebral insulin resistance infarction group, but it did not have any effect on the diameters of the cerebral veins. There w ere no significant differences in the vasoactive effects of insulin betw een the cerebral infarction group and the normal control group, as w el as betw een the cerebral insulin resistance group and the cerebral insulin resistance infarction group. Insulin significantly reduced the volume of cerebral infarction in the cerebral infarction group (9.0 ±1.0 mm3 vs.6.0 ±1.2 mm3; t = 4.294,P =0.002), and it did not have significant effect on the volume of cerebral infarction in the cerebral insulin resistance infarction group ( 12.6 ±2.3 mm3 vs.11.6 ±1.7 mm3; t = 0.782, P = 0.456). Conclusions Insulin can reduce ischemic brain injury in normal mice and can not affect the cerebrovascular diameter of the peri-infarct region. The neuroprotective effect of insulin is not significant in cerebral insulin resistance in mice, and it may be associated w ith the vasoconstrictor effects of insulin in the peri -infarct region.

Objective To afford an new effective imaging technique for the morphological observation of the normal male pelvic floor by observing the normal male puborectalis with transrectal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods Thirty-six normal males were examined by transrectal ultrasound and MRI,data of puborectalis were recorded and compared including starting point, end point,appearance, structure, thickness and the relationship with peripheral organs. Results The results including the appearance,direction and internal echo of puborectalis and the relationship with peripheral organs can be clearly displayed by transrectal ultrasound compared with MRI. The thickness of right and left puborectalis at rest measured in ultrasound and in MRI were (6.22±0.57)mm, (6.19±0.59) mm, (6.20±0.61) mm and (6.17±0.53) mm, respectively. The thickness by two methods and two sides had no significant differences (P>0.05). The thickness of puborectalis measured by two methods did not correlate with age,height,body weight,the volume of prostate and interspinal diameter respectively. Conclusions Transrectal ultrasound is a new imaging method to observe male puborectalis. Identification for nomal puborectalis sonography is the foundation of diagnosis pelvic floor disease.

Objective To determine the activities of 131I for treating differentiated thyroid carcinoma with diffuse pulmonary metastases ( DTC-DPM ) from the perspective of internal radiation dosimetry.Methods According to Medical Internal Radiation Dosimetry (MIRD) schema, the activity constraint,from which the whole bdy retention at 48 h should not exceed 2.96 GBq (2.96 GBq rule), was converted to dose-rate constraint(DRC) to lungs at 48 h ( DRCLU ·48 h ) in 131I therapy for DTC-DPM. Based on the assumption of DRCLU·48 h at 48 h in lung, the fractions of whole body activities ( F48 ), the effective half times of 131I in lungs ( TLL ) and the remainder of body ( TRB ) were 0.6-0.9, 20- 120 h, and 10- 20 h, respectively. The maximum safe activities of 131I for different human phantoms from the Organ Level Internal Dose Assessment (OLINDA) software were calculated. Results According to MIRD schema and 2.96 GBq rule, DRCLU ·48 h should not exceed 46.4 mGy/h in 131I therapy for DTC-DPM. Depending on varying F48 h,TLL and TRB, the maximum safe activities of 131I were 6.77-81.36, 5.29-56.20, 5.08-55.19 and 3.87-40. 52 GBq for the male adult, female adult, 15-year-old, and 10-year-old patients with DTC-DPM, respec tively. Conclusion Dosimetry-guided 131I therapy for DTC-DPM considers adequately the differences of 131I kinetics in individual patients and can adjust administered activities of 131I on the precondition of avoiding radiological pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis.
