ObjectiveTo study the effect of enriched rehabilitative training on the functional recovery and neuronal dentritic growth following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.Methods32 male Wistar rats,weighting 180~200 g,were randomly divided into a ischemic group(n=16) and a sham-operation group(n=16) after beforehand trainings.Rats were subjected to 2 h of right middle cerebral artery occlusion before reperfusion.After surgery,the ischemic group were randomly divided into a ischemia + enrichment(IE) group and a ischemia + standard housing(IS) group;the sham-operation group were randomly divided into a sham + enrichment(SE) group and a sham + standard housing(SS) group.After 24 h reperfusion,IE and SE groups were housed in enriched cages,and given enriched rehabilitative training according to the scheme.At the same time,IS and SS groups were housed in standard cages without any training.The functions of 4 groups were evaluated at 24 h,1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks and 4 week after operation.Dentritic growth of layer V pyramidal cells of the undamaged forelimb motor cortex was examined using Golgi-Cox procedure.ResultsIE group showed better function than IS group in all behavioral test.There was no significant difference in limb-placement test at 3 weeks(P>0.05) and in footfault test at 4 weeks(P>0.05) after operation between IE and SE group.The mean of basilar dentrite branching points in IE group was significantly greater than that of other groups(P<0.01).ConclusionEnriched rehabilitative training can promote functional recovery and enhance neural plasticity after cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion in rats.

Objective To explore the significance of dysplasia and cytogenetic changes to the diagnosis and typing of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).Methods The dysplasia performance of each series in every isoforms was observed by the bone marrow aspiration and peripheral blood smear to the 132 patients with MDS. At the same time do the chromosome karyotype was analizad combined with morbidness cells and chromosome karyotype abnormal analysis associated with MDS subtype. Resuits Acorrding to the dysplasia ≥0.10, the totle detection rate of granulocyte series, erythrocyte series and megakaryocytic was 43.4 %.The morbidness granulocyte and megalokaryocyte ≥0.10was mainly in RCMD (P < 0.01); morbidness erythrocytes≥0.10 mainly in RA + RARS (P < 0.01). the totle detection rate of chromosome karyotype abnormal in MDS was 44.0 %.The detection rate in RA and RARS was lower than other isoforms,but showed no statistically significant (P > 0.05).the relationships of dysplasia and chromosome karyotype abnormal with the isoforms of MDS:in RA group,50.0 %(3/6) patients had karyotype abnormal simultaneous the detection of morbidness cells≥0.10, 76.0 %(19/25) in RCMD group and 60.9 %(14/23) in RAEB group (P < 0.01).Conclusion Theve is relationships between the patients with chromosome karyotype abnormal and dysplasia ≥0.10 and the isoforms of MDS. Closely monitoring the hemopoiesis and cytogenetic changes is significance to diagnose MDS.

Objective:To investigate the expression and its possible role of Oct4B1 subtype of Embryonic stem cell transcription factor Oct4 in colorectal cancer stem cells. Methods: 3D microspheres were cultured by suspension culture to human colorectal cancer cell line SW480 cells. The 3D microspheres and SW480 cells were used as the research objects. Whether 3D microspheres were enriched cancer stem cells,we used the methods of cell differentiation experiments,soft agar cloning experiments,and the expression levels of cancer stem cells markers CD133,CD44 detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of Oct4B1 mRNA were detected by RT-qPCR. Results:3D microspheres could differentiate into normal cancer cells. Compared with the parental SW480 cells,in vitro colony formation was significantly enhanced(P<0. 01),the percentage of positive cells of CD133 and CD44 were significantly increased ( P < 0. 01 ), the expression levels of Oct4B1 mRNA were obviously higher ( P < 0. 01 ) in 3D microspheres. Conclusion: Oct4B1 subtype of Embryonic stem cell transcription factor Oct4 in 3D microspheres enriched human colorectal cancer stem cells,which may be involved in the regulation of colorectal cancer stem cells.

BACKGROUND: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) can result in intestinal mucosal barrier (IMB) dysfunction. This study was undertaken to demonstrate the effect of IGF-I on the intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with SAP and its possible mechanisms. METHODS: Seventy-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: a sham operation (SO group,n=24), a SAP group not treated with IGF-I (SAP group,n=24), and a SAP group treated with IGF-I (IGF-I group,n=24). SAP was induced in the rats by injecting 5.0% sodium taurocholate into the biliary-pancreatic duct. The SO rats were given an infusion of normal saline instead. The rats in the IGF-I group underwent the SAP procedure and were given a subcutaneous injection of IGF-I at 30 minutes before the operation and at 3 hours after the operation. Eight rats in each group were sacrificed at 6, 12 and 24 hours after operation. Apoptosis of mucosal cells in the small intestine was determined by TUNEL. The levels of endotoxin and DAO and serum amylase were also measured. Pathologic changes in the small intestine were monitored. Changes of bax and bcl-2 mRNA expression in the small intestine were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: The levels of serum amylase were lower in the IGF-I group than in the SAP group at all three time points (P<0.05). The levels of endotoxin in the IGF-I group were higher than those in the SAP group at 6 hours, but lower in the IGF-I group than in the SAP group at 12 and 24 hours (P<0.05). The levels of diamine oxidase were higher in the IGF-I group at 6 hours but lower than those in the SAP group at 12 and 24 hours. The pathological score of the small intestine was lower in the IGF-I group than in the SAP group, and the difference was statistically significant at 12 and 24 hours. The pathologic changes observed under electron microscopy were better in the IGF-I group than those in the SAP group. The apoptosis index of intestinal epithelial cells was significantly decreased in the IGF-I group compared with the SAP group. Compared with the SO group, the mRNA expression levels of bax were increased at each time point in the SAP group, and were significantly decreased in the IGF-I group as compared with the SAP group at each time point (P<0.05). The expression levels of bcl-2 were weak and not different between the SO group and the SAP group (P>0.05). They were significantly increased in the IGF-I group versus the SO and SAP groups (P<0.05). The ratio of bax and bcl-2 mRNA expression levels at each time point in the SAP group were significantly higher than those in the SO group, but they were obviously decreased in the IGF-I group. CONCLUSIONS: Exogenous IGF-I seems to protect mucosal cells in the small intestine against SAP-induced apoptosis and could alleviate SAP-induced injury of the intestinal mucosa. The underlying mechanisms include enhanced mRNA expression of bcl-2 and inhibition of bax mRNA expression.

pH, affects of different alkaline materials KOH, K 2CO 3, NaOH, Na 2CO 3 on the growth, and NaCl, KCl tolerance of 29 isolates from the saline and alkaline soils in Xinjiang and Qinghai Provinces of China and 1 type strain were studied. Results showed that only a few alkaliphilic actinomycetes were Na +-obligately dependent, and K +-sensitive. Some alkaliphilic actinomycetes were CO 3 2- -sensitive, and NaCl, KCl could inhibit their growth. 4 kinds of alkaline materials had no affect on growth of alkaliphilic Nocardiopsis, and these strains showed high tolerance to NaCl, KCl. So it was presumed that only K + and CO 3 2- obligately dependent alkaliphilic Actinomycetes maybe exist in alkaline environments.
