BACKGROUND:Rapid development of spermatogonial stem cells is the new hope for assisting reproductive technologies,and the stability of the number and structure of the chromosome cultured in vitro is one of the important factors in usage.OBJECTIVE: To study the influential factors on G-band exhibition in mouse spermatogonial stem cells, so as to offer a technology to identify karyotype of stem cells in culture.DESIGN: Observational experiment.SETTING: Luzhou Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of Medical Molecular Biology, Luzhou Medical College from March 2004 to April 2005. 10 days old male and female Kunming mice were provided by Department of Animal of Luzhou Medical College (number of license No. 17 of experimental animal quality administration in Sichuan province).There were low-sugar DMEM medium, 10 mg/L Mitomycin-C, IMDM medium, 1 ×10-5 mol/L colchicines (PBS allocation),7.5 mmol/L KCL, fixative (mixture glacial acetic acid with methanol in 1:3), Giemsa staining solution and 0.25% zymine.METHODS: Bone marrow was aspirated from the thigh bone of mouse for feeder layer cells preparation. Cells from the male mice testis of 7-8 days after birth were prepared and made into cell suspension. After adjusting the cell density to 3×105 L-1, they were inoculated into the feeder layer of bone marrow stromal cells. Cells were cultured at 37 ℃ in CO2 incubator containing CO2 of 0.05 volume fraction and 70% humidity. The proliferation groups of stem cells cultured 15-20 days were selected, stirred and spread, and then treated with colchicine for 4-6 hours. Cell suspension was collected,and then stained after hypotonic treatment. The cells whose chromosomes were dispersed well and in metaphase were selected, and number of chromosomes was counted, and then the morphology of chromosomes was observed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Culture of bone marrow stromal cells and spermatogonial stem cells and coloration and count of chromosomes.RESULTS: The karyotype of spermatogonial stem cells was the same as the body cells of normal mouse, which showed granule or rod-shape. Karyotype was 20 pairs, 40 bars. Three kinds of chromosome morphology could be observed under oil immersion lens. The first type was condensed, which could be counted in total, but the band could not be seen.The second type was chromatosome that spread completely in the center of equatorial plate and were in metaphase. In this phase, total numbers and band were seen clearly. Last type-chromosomes had already folded and moved towards two poles and concentrated gradually, the total number of chromosomes could be counted, but bending could not be seen clearly.CONCLUSION:Many factors can affect the karyotype of spermatogonial stem cells, including the phase of cell division,effect of hypotonic solution, diffusion of the cell when dropping slides, concentration of trypsin and digestion time, etc.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of the bacterial strains isolated from blood cultures in neonatal septicemia children of Neonatology Department, the First People's Hospital of Chuzhou during Jan. 2017-Dec. 2021, in order to guide clinical rational drug use. Methods The distribution and the results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests and characteristics of the pathogenic bacteria isolated from blood culture samples in neonatal septicemia children in the First Hospital of Chuzhou from Jan. 2017 to Dec. 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The results were analyzed with WHONET 5.6 software, according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2021 breakpoints. Results A total of 189 strains were isolated from the 4 538 sample of blood cultures, the positive rate was 4.2%, including 59(31.2%) Gram-negative bacterial strains, 130 (68.8%) Gram-positive bacterial strains. The most frequently isolates were coagulase-negative staphylococci(64.0%), Serratia liquefaciens (15.9%), Escherichia coli (3.2%), Acinetobacter lwoffii (2.6%) and Delftia acidovorans (2.6%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant isolates was 81.8%(99/121) in coagulase-negative Staphylococci and 25.0%(1/4) in Staphylococcus aureus. No staphylococcal strains were found resistant to vancomycin, quinupristin-dalfopristin or linezolid. The sensitivity of the antibacterial drug monitored by Serratia liquefaciens was 100.0%.Conclusions Gram-positive bacterial are the main pathogen of neonatal septicemia, and is highly resistant to the common antibacterial drugs. The clinical should choose antibacterial agents reasonably according to drug sensitivity.

Objective To observe the effect of Shengji corium elephatis mastic in treating chronic refractory skin ulcer, and analyze its preliminary mechanism. Methods Totally 62 patients with chronic refractory skin ulcer in granulation stage were randomly divided into two groups, 32 cases of treatment group were treated with Shengji corium elephatis mastic, and 30 cases of control group were treated with Vaseline gauze. All patients were treated for 4 weeks. The rate of wound healing, wound reduction ratio and wound secretion level of VEGF were observed. Results The cure rate and the total effective rate between the two groups had significant difference (P<0.05). After 2 weeks treatment, the mean wound reduction area of treatment group and control group was 82.31%and 66.32%respectively. After 4 weeks treatment, the mean wound reduction area of treatment group and control group was 90.35%and 78.7%respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After 1, 2 and 3 weeks treatment, the treatment group had significant difference with the control group in wound secretion VEGF level (P<0.05). Conclusion Shengji corium elephatis mastic can promote wound healing of chronic refractory skin ulcer. The possible mechanism is that Shengji corium elephatis mastic promotes the generation of VEGF in wound thus promotes wound repair.

Objective To observe the anti-proliferation effects of rapamycin and paclitaxel of different hu-man prostate cancer cells in vitro. Methods The methods of MTr and flow cytometry were respectively ap-plied to observe the effect of rapamycin, paclitaxel and rapamycin+paclitaxel on proliferation and apoptosis of different prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP-C4, LNCaP-C4-2, PC-3). Results When the concentration of rapamycin was 0.01 μmol/L, the impressive effect showed a remarkable difference in contrast to the con-trol. While in group LNCaP-C4-2 and PC-3, the goal concentration of rapamycin was 0.001μmol/L. When the concentration of paclitaxel was 0. 2 ng/mL, the impressive effect showed a remarkable difference in con-trast to the control. In group rapamycin (10 nmol/L) and in group paclitaxel (1 ng/mL) there were signifi-cant differences in growth inhibition, compared with control. While in group rapamycin(5 nmoL/L)+pacli-taxel(0.5ng/mL) there was significant difference in growth inhibition, compared with rapamycin (10 nmol/L) and paclitaxel (1 ng/mL) respectively. After cultured with rapamycin or paclitaxel alone, more tumor cells induced apoptosis than control. While after cultured with rapamycin and paclitaxel simultaneously, more tumor cells induced apoptosis than with rapamycin or paclitaxel alone. Conclusions Both rapamycin and paclitaxel had a good impressive effect on the three prostate cell lines (LNCaP-CA, LNCaP-C4-2, PC-3) with dose-dependent manner. After cultured with rapamycin and paclitaxel simultaneously, more tumor cells were induced apoptosis than with rapamycin or paclitaxel alone.
