Objective To explore the method of culture of rat adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs) and differentiation induction into myoblasts. Methods Adipose tissues were obtained from SD rats,and were isolated by enzyme digestion and cultured into ADSCs.The expression of surface antigen CD90,CD105 and CD34 was detected by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry.ADSCs of the second passage with logarithmic growth were obtained,and culture media containing 5-azacytidine(5-aza) and basic culture media were employed for cells in induction group and control group,respectively.The induction lasted for 7 d,14 d,21 d,28 d and 35 d,respectively.Cell growth and cell morphology were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope,and immunofluorescence and flow cytometry were utilized to detect the expression of myoblast specific antigens desmin and myosin. Results ADSCs were successfully isolated and cultured,and were identified to be stem cells.On the 28th day of induction,cells in induction group displayed "swirl" morpholgy,and multinucleation was observed.It was revealed by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry that the highest expression rates of desmin and myosin were 52.57% and 50.04%,respectively on the 28th day of induction,while there was no expression before induction and in control group. Conclusion ADSCs can be isolated and cultured from rat adipose tissues,and can further differentiate into myoblasts after induction by culture media with 5-aza.The expression of myoblast specific antigen is the highest on the 28th day of induction.

The etiological agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was identified as a new coronavirus, termed SARS-CoV. Establishment of an efficient and sensitive diagnostic system of SARS-CoV genetic materials is crucial for SARS control. In this study, we quantified SARS-CoV mRNAs in both infected cell culture lysate and in supernatant by using Real-time quantitative revere transcription-PCR based on EvaGreen鈩?dye and Taqman-MGB probes. For extensive evaluation of sensitivities and specificities, 13 pairs of primers and 4 probes were designed based on different genes of SARS-CoV. Glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was selected as the internal control gene. Results showed that S-gene-specific PCR was the most sensitive for detection, but because of its sequence variability in the different viral strains, primers and a probe based on the N gene were suitable substitutions. Meanwhile, we found the mRNA concentrations in cell culture lysates were much higher than in cell supernatant and facilited more sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV.

Objective To investigate the effect of gravity and lung volume on MR perfusion imaging of human lung using an arterial spin labeling sequence called flow sensitive alternating inversion recovery(FAIR).MethodsMagnetic resonance imaging of lung perfusion was performed in supine position in ten healthy volunteers on a 1.5 T whole body scanner(GE medical system).Five sequentially coronal slices with the gap of 3cm from dorsal to ventral(labeled as P3,P6,P9,P12,P15,respeectivly)were obtained on end respiration and the relative pulmonary blood flow(rPBF)was measured.Another coronal perfusion-weighted image of P3 slice was obtained on end inspiration.Tagging efficiency of pulmonary parenchyma with IR(⊿SI%),the rPBF and area of the P3 slice were analyzed.respectively.Paired Student's t test was used for statistical analysis.Results(1)In the direction of gravity,an increase in rPBF of the gravity-dependent lung was found.rPBF of right lung from dorsal to ventral were 100.57±18.22,79.57±12.36,61.65±11.15,48.92±9.96,41.20±9.88,respectively；and that of left lung were 106.61±26.99,78.89±11.98,64.00±13.64,51.27±8.95,43.04±12.18.No statistical differences between P12 and P15,there were significant statistic differences of any other two coronal planes.But along an isogravitational plane,no statistical difference was observed.Regression coefficients of right and left lung were -4.98 and -5.16,respectively.This means the rPBF of right lung falls by 4.98 for each centimeter above the dorsal and that of left lung falls by 5.16.(2)For(⊿)SI%,rPBF and area,there were significant statistic differences at different respiratory phases(P＜0.05).(⊿)SI%,rPBF,area at expiration phase vs.inspiration phase were 1.12±0.31 vs 0.71±0.18,90.78±17.35 vs 52.85±8.75,(12.59±3.23)×103mm2 vs (17.77±4.24)×103mm2 for right lung;and 1.01±0.24 vs 0.70±0.11,91.08±18.68 vs 54.58±10.70,(12.34±3.08)×103mm2 vs(17.34±4.98)×103mm2 for left lung.Greater (⊿)SI%and increased perfusion were observed on end expiration than on end inspiration.The area was larger on end inspiration than on end expiration.ConclusionsThe FAIR is sensitive to perfusion changes in the gravity-dependent lung.Pulmonary blood flow is less in a state of high lung inflation than in a low state(inspiration vs.expiration).Positioning the patient so that the area of interest is down-gravity and breath-hold on end expiration may improve visibility of perfusion defects.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Qinghuang Powder (QHP) combined Chinese herbs for Pi-strengthening and Shen-reinforcing (CHPSSR) on hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) in bone marrow mononuclear cells of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients.

METHODSChanges of HIF-1alpha in bone marrow mononuclear cells of MDS patients were detected in 25 MDS patients treated by QHP combined CHPSSR using flow cytometry. Meanwhile, 13 healthy subjects were recruited as the control group. Changes HIF-1alpha levels in various serial bone marrow mononuclear cells were detected.

RESULTS(1) Among the 25 patients in the treatment group, there were 19 patients effective and 6 patients ineffective, with the total effective rate being 76%. (2) Compared with before treatment, levels of peripheral blood WBC, Hb, PLT, and ANC significantly increased in the treatment group after treatment, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). (3) Compared with before treatment, the HIF-1alpha mean fluorescence intensity was enhanced in bone marrow lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, and nucleated red blood cells of the treatment group after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the HIF-1alpha mean fluorescence intensity was weakened in bone marrow lymphocytes, monocytes, and nucleated red blood cells of the treatment group before treatment; while it was obviously enhanced in granulocytes (P < 0.01). But after treatment the HIF-1alpha mean fluorescence intensity increased more in the granulocytes of the treatment group than in those of the control group (P < 0.01), but there was no statistical difference in bone marrow lymphocytes, monocytes, or nucleated red blood cells.

CONCLUSIONQHP combined CHPSSR could improve HIF-1alpha levels in bone marrow lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, and nucleated red blood cells of MDS patients, thus improving Hb levels of MDS patients, and improving their anemia and correlated symptoms.
