Objective To study the survival, migration and distribution of allogeneic marrow stromal cells (MSCs) which were marked with fluorescence agent Hoechst 33342 in vitro and then transplanted into the mice with acute radiation injury, and to explore the hematopoietic reconstitution in allogeneic MSCs transplantation. Methods The bone marrow of murine femoral bone was washed out with DMEM, the cell suspension was gathered and centrifuged twice, and then the MSCs were cultured in vitro, marked with Hoechst 33342 at final concentration of 10?g/ml. 30 minutes later, the MSCs were gathered and transplanted into radiation injured mice via intravenous injection. Each mouse was injected with 2?105 MSCs. The distribution of marked MSCs was observed in heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney of radiation injured mice at time points of 1w, 2w and 3w after MSCs transplantation. Results After being marked with Hoechst 33342, the nuclei of MSCs were in bright blue color. All mice of MSCs-transplant-group survived until execution, but three mice of Non-MSCs-transplant-group died during three weeks. Only a few marked MSCs were found in heart, liver, lung and kidney in the frozen section at each time point, but a large number of marked MSCs were found on the surface of spleen, and colonies were formed two weeks after introduction of MSCs. Conclusions Transplanted MSCs can not only survive in the irradiation injured mice, but also specifically migrate to the injured site, to participate in the reconstitution of hematopoiesis after acute radiation injury.

To observe the morphological changes in hair cell nuclei in guinea pigs following noise exposure, guinea pigs were exposed to 4 kHz narrow band noise at 115 dB SPL for 4h. The cochleae were collected for the examination of the hair cell nuclei 14 days after the noise exposure. A fluorescent dye, Hoechst 33342,a fluorescent dye, was used to label the nuclear DNA and the specimens were examined under a fluorescence microscope for quantitative assessment of hair cell nuclear damage. There were three types of morphological changes in the damaged hair cell nuclei: nuclear swelling, nuclear condensation (karyopyknosis) and nuclear missing. Nuclear swelling was more frequent than nuclear missing. Nuclear condensation was less frequently found. The results suggested that complicated, long term and non synchronous biological processes might be involved in noise induced hair cell damage. A large number of hair cells with swollen nuclei, which might recover afte wards,still could be seen in the cochlea two weeks after noice exposure.

Objective To study the relations between the susceptibility to AIDP and AMAN, two forms of Guillain-Barr? syndrome (GBS), and the frequency of HLA-A, B alleles. Methods A case-control research was done in 31 cases of AIDP, 33 cases of AMAN and 132 health individual controls. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes by improved fast saltingout. HLA-A, B antigens were typed by DNA-based technology, PCR-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) method. In determination of allelic polymorphism by PCR amplification with SSP, oligonucleotide primers are designed to obtain amplification of specific alleles or groups of alleles. Assignment of alleles is based on the presence or absence of PCR amplified product, which may be detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. Results On research of HLA-A, B alleles polymorphism, it showed that HLA-A33 frequency was increased significantly in AIDP patients [22.6% vs 4.5%,corrected probability (Pc)=0.011]; related risk (RR) was 6.1; HLA-B15, B35 frequencies were increased (51.7% vs 20.8%, Pc =0.015; 34.5% vs 6.9%, Pc=0.000 8); RR was 4.1 and 7.1, respectively. Conclusions There are different distribution of HLA-A, B alleles in AIDP and AMAN, two forms of GBS. AIDP susceptibility is associated with HLA-A33, while AMAN is with HLA-B15, B35.

Objective Cathepsin K (CTSK) played an important role in adipocyte differentiation.The activation of CTSK needs to convey by mannose-6-phosphate receptors (M6PR) in osteoclasts. The aim of the present study was to identify the effects of mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) in adipocyte differentiation and its underlying molecular mechanism. Methods Oil red O staining, accumulation of cytoplasmic triglycerides and glycerine release were used to assess its effects on adipocyte differentiation in the 3T3-L1cell line. The enzyme activity of CTSK was observed by laser confocal microscopy. The proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was detected by MTT methods. mRNA expression of M6PR was determined by RTPCR. Results M6P could prevent adipocyte differentiation in a dose-dependent manner as evidenced by absence of triglyceride accumulation and glycerol content. Statistical significance was showed when the concentrations of M6P were 5.0 mmol/L and 8. 0 mmol/L respectively(P <0. 05). The mRNA expression of M6PR was detected during the whole process of adipocyte differentiation. With the increase of M6Pconcentration, enzyme activity of CTSK was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner. MTT method showed that the absorbance at 570 nm of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was 0. 057 ±0. 091, increased about 62. 9%at 10. 0 mmoL/L compared with the control group (P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion M6P inhibits the terminal differentiation of adipocyte, which may be associated with its effect of blocking CTSK activity by competitive binding with M6PR.

Aim To observe the effects of liver cirrho-sis on the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 ( TGF-β1 ) and ColⅠin rat myocardium and interven-tion of erythropoietin ( EPO ) . Methods Thirty-six male Sprague-Dasley rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group, liver cirrhosis group and EPO group, then the cardic hemodynamic parameters in vivo and levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ) as well as creatine kinase isoenzyme ( CK-MB) were measured. With Masson′s trichrome stain, changes of collagen formation of myocardial tissue in different groups were observed. Also the mRNA ex-pressions of TGF-β1 and ColⅠin myocardium were de-tected by RT-PCR. Results In contrast to control group, rats in liver cirrhosis group showed a decline in systolic and diastolic function of left ventricule, rising myocardial enzyme, a distinct increase of cardiac colla-gen deposition, as well as an elevation of TGF-β1 and ColⅠmRNA expressions. In contrast to liver cirrhosis group, rats in EPO group demonstrated an improve-ment in systolic and diastolic function of left ventricule as well as in cardiac collagen deposition, and a de-crease in both myocardial enzyme and TGF-β1 and ColⅠmRNA expressions. Conclusion Liver cirrhosis can lead to the changes of myocardial structure and function in rats,and it can accelerate myocardial inter-stitial fibrosis; EPO can protect the myocardial injury in liver cirrhosis rats.
