BACKGROUND: The transplantation of allogeneic cartilage has local immunological rejection, and it is necessary to further reduce the rejection to promote its application in clinic, thus it is significant to perform a series of experiments to induce local immune privilege.OBJECTIVE: To observe the in vivo growth of tissue engineered allogeneic cartilage reconstructed by chondrocytes transfected with recombinant retroviral vector pLNCX2-FasL.DESIGN: A randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Shanghai Jiao Tong University.MATERIALS: Thirty-six allogeneic New Zealand rabbits as recipients and 45 1-week-old chinchillas as donors, either sex,were purchased by the experimental animal center of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Amphotropic recombinant retrovirus coated cell line PT67 was purchased from Clontech Company; Dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM), fetal bovine serum (FBS), G418 and Polybrene were bought from GIBCO BRL.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in original Shanghai Second Medical University from January 2000 to July 2005. The New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: FasL-transfected group (n =12), untransfected group (n =12) and blank control group (n =12). The rabbit allogeneic cartilages were constructed by the compound of pLNCX2-FasL transfected chondrocytes and tissue engineered material of pluronic F-127. ① Gross observation and mass changes of the grafts: Corresponding materials were infused subcutaneously, the grafts were removed at 1, 2 and 3 months after transplantation for gross observation and the mass changes. ② Staining observation: The grafts were removed at 1, 2 and 3 months after transplantation, then prepared into sections, and observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE), Safranin'O and Masson's trichrome stainings. ③ Antibody detection: Blood samples (1 mL) were collected at 1 and 2 months after transplantation, the chondrocytes of the chinchillas were lysed freezingly with lysis antigen as the mixed antigen, and separated by electrophoresis in agarose medium, then acted with serum of recipient to observe whether corresponding antibody generated. ④ Complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) test: The chondrocytes of chinchillas were prepared into cell suspension (2×109/L), and then seeded into 96-well plate, attached grew for 24 hours, then recipient serum was added for the CDC test, and the percentage of apoptotic cells was counted under microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Gross observation and mass changes of the grafts;② Histological changes; ③ Results of the antibody detection; ④ Percentage of apoptotic cells.RESULTS: All the 81 rabbits were involved in the analysis of results. ① Gross observation and mass changes of the grafts: Two weeks after inoculation, there were obvious nod formations at the inoculated sites, but no nod formed in the blank control group. The new cartilage tissues became smaller gradually and completely disappeared at 4 months in the untransfected group, whereas those in the FasL-transfected group became smaller, but still existed after 7 months. The masses of grafts in the FasL-transfected group were higher than those in the untransfected group (P ＜ 0.05). ②Histological observation: Plenty of lymphocytic infiltrations around cartilage tissue could be observed in the untransfected group, and obviously decreased in the FasL-transfected group. No lymphocyte was observed inside the chondrocytes.Masson's trichrome staining was performed, and it was observed under light microscope that the small white parts in the middle were immature chondrocytes, and there were green collagen around most of the mature chondrocytes. Safranin O staining showed strong positive reaction, suggested that there were rich glycosaminoglycan in matrix. ③ Antibody detection: The chondrocytes of the chinchillas were lysed freezingly with lysis antigen as the mixed antigen, then acted with serum of recipient, and the results showed that no corresponding antibody generated. ④ Percentage of apoptotic cells: The percentages of serum CDC apoptotic cells in the FasL can ransfected group, untransfected group and blank control group were 5%, 6% and 1%, which were all negative.CONCLUSION: Rabbit allogeneic chondrocytes transfected with recombinant retroviral vector pLNCX2-FasL can reconstruct tissue engineered cartilage, and can postpone the degeneration by 3 months.

Objective To compare the effects of tracheal intubation (TI) and laryngeal mask (LM) during general anesthesia (GA) induction on the α 1-band of quantitative pharmaco-electroencephalography (QPEEG).Methods Fortypatients undergoing GA were randomly divided into two groups:group T included 20 patients who received TI and group L included 20 who received a LM.Parameters like heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),and QPEEG were recorded before anesthesia induction (T0),after induction (T1),and after intubating the cannula or LM (T2).Using power-spectrum analysis,we calculated the power percentage of the α 1-band of QPEEG.Results The HR,MAP,and power percentage of the α 1-band in most areas of the brain were lower at T1 than at T0 (P ＜ 0.05) in both groups.Moreover,the HR,MAP,and α 1-band power percentage were higher at T2 than at T1 (P ＜ 0.05) in group T,whereas they showed no significant change at T2 (P ＞ 0.05) in group L.Conclusion TI is stronger than LM for stimulating the circulatory system.Moreover,TI may cause an increase in the power percentage of the α 1-band of QPEEG.This finding suggests that the α1-band power percentage of QPEEG can be an effective means of monitoring stimulation.

Objective To explore extracellular signal-regulated kinase ( ERK1/2 ) expression in the role of curcumin inhibited staurosporine (STS)-mediated neurons toxic injury through added PD098059, and to clarify ERK1/2 mediated inhibitory role of curcumin on STS-induced neurons toxic injury.Methods The neurons toxic injury model of primary cultured hippocampal neurons was established by STS.The experiment was divided into six groups:normal control group, STS model group, PD098059 +STS model group, curcumin +STS pretreatment group, curcumin+PD098059+STS treatment group and curcumin treatment group.The cell viability were determined by MTT method, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release rate, cell toxicity were detected, nuclear shape were observed by DAPI staining, and ERK1/2 expression were detected by Western blot method.Results The cell viability of curcumin +STS pretreatment group was significantly higher than STS model group ( P <0.001 ); the cell viability had no significant difference between PD098059 +STS model group and curcumin +PD098059 +STS treatment group;compared with curcumin +STS model group , the cell viability of curcumin +PD098059 +STS treatment group was significantly decreased ( P<0.001 ).LDH results showed that the nerve cell toxicity of curcumin +STS pretreatment group was obviously less than STS model group (P<0.001).The cell nuclear shape showed typical apoptosis morphological characteristics in STS model group, and curcumin inhibited the effect of STS mediated-neuronal apoptosis.ERK1/2 protein expression in curcumin +STS pretreatment group significantly increased compared with STS model group ( P <0.001 ) .Conclusion Curcumin inhibited STS-mediated neurons toxicity injury by up-regulating ERK1/2 expression.After PD098059 blocking the nerve cells ERK1/2 synthesis, the inhibitory action of curcumin failed to implemented, which illustrated that ERK1/2 mediated curcumin to inhibit STS-induced neuronal toxic injury.

Objective To observe the contrast sensitivity (CS) of patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) without involving the macular region.Methods 92 BRVO patients (93 eyes) and 56 cases (112 eyes) without eye diseases (control group) were included in the study.According to different region,BRVO patients were divided into the nasal BRVO group (31 eyes) and temporal BRVO (62 eyes) group,and the average corrected visual acuity was 1.02 ± 0.13 and 0.98 ± 0.12 respectively.According to the type of ischemia,BRVO patients were divided into the nonischemic BRVO group (58 eyes) and ischemic BRVO group (35 eyes),the average corrected visual acuity was 1.01 ± 0.14 and 0.99 ± 0.12 respectively.The average corrected visual acuity of the control group was 1.03 ± 0.11.There was no statistically significant difference of the average corrected visual acuity between nasal BRVO group,temporal BRVO group and control group (F=3.03,P =0.06),and between nonischemic BRVO group,ischemic BRVO group and control group (F=1.60,P=0.20).Contrast sensitivity (CS) was measured by OPTEC 6500 vision tester (Stereo Company,USA) under the standard lighting conditions and different spatial frequencies including low (1.5 and 3.0 c/d),medium (6.0 c/d) and high frequencies (12.0 and 18.0 c/d).Results The CS under each spatial frequency of the nasal BRVO group was the same as the control group (t=4.25,9.48,3.08,5.86,0.94;P＞0.05),but the CS under each spatial frequency of the temporal BRVO group was different from the control group (t=8.59,19.11,10.38,17.28,6.01;P＜0.05).The CS under high spatial frequency of the temporal and nasal BRVO group was statistically different (t=11.42,6.95;P＜0.05).The CS under each spatial frequency of the ischemic BRVO group was different from the control group (t=8.88,10.56,11.64,19.06,6.67;P＜0.05).The CS under 6,12 and 18 c/d spatial frequency of the nonischemic BRVO group was statistically different with the control group (t =10.14,11.54,2.82;P＜0.05).The CS under 12 and 18 c/d spatial frequency of the nonischemic BRVO group was statistically different with the ischemic BRVO (t=7.52,3.84;P＜0.05).Conclusions The CS of the temporal BRVO and ischemic BRVO decreased more significantly under each spatial frequency.CS is a better indicator to evaluate the visual function than the visual acuity in BRVO without involving the macular region.
