AIM: To investigate the immunoblot changeS of dystrophin expression in mdx mice after bone marrow stem cells transplantation. METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from September to December 2004. ①Twenty-five mdx mice of 7-8 weeks old were selected and randomly divided into transplantation 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks groups and blank control group with 5 mice in each group. Meanwhile, 20 C57 mice of 4 to 6 weeks old were selected as donor mice, and 5 C57 mice aged 10 weeks served as positive control mice. ②All mice were preconditioned with 7 Gy ?-ray. After radiotherapy, 2?107 marrow stem cells per mouse (about 0.3-0.5 mL) were injected into the vena caudalis of mice; 0.3 mL PBS was injected into the blank control group and positive control group. ③The mice in 4 transplantation groups were killed at each time point, and the gastrocnemius was harvested to prepare dystrophin samples. The amount of dystrophin expression was detected by Western blot with GAPDH as control. RESULTS: All 25 mdx mice and 5 C57 mice were involved in the result analysis. Western Blot analysis of dystrophin after transplantation: No dystrophin was detected in the blank control group; in the 4 weeks after transplantation group, only few dystrophin expressions were detected, and the dystrophin/GAPDH was about 0.095?0.267; in the 12 weeks after transplantation group, dystrophin/GAPDH was about 0.218?0.338; dystrophin expressions were increased with time, at 16 weeks after transplantation, the expressions were much more than those at 8 weeks (dystrophin/GAPDH: 0.393?0.385, 0.173?0.284, t =6.062, P

0.01).After incubation with trehalose for 4h,the expression of CD62p increased,and it decreased when platelets activation inhibitor PGE-1 and adenosine were added to the incubation buffer.The expression of PAC-1 showed no difference among the three groups. Conclusion The preprocessing before platelets lyophilization has no significant effects on the function and activity of platelets when the platelets activation inhibitor is added.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that targets motor neurons without efficient treatment. Stem cell receives the enormous attention because it from specific tissues can differentiate into motor neuron. Stem cells from specific tissues could be used for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, such as embryonic stem cells, neural stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. The mechanism of stem-cell therapy includes cell-replacement, delivery neurotrophic factors and immunomodulation. Animal researches and some clinical trails have confirmed that stem cells have great potential to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Till now, people are still unknown some aspects of stem cells, and many problems still need to be resolved.

Objective To study the expression levels of B7.1 and B7.2 in the macrophagus of rats infected with the Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites and investigate the roles of these costimulators in parasite infection immunity. Methods The mammal model was established by infecting rats with the sporozoites, then macrophagus was separated from the rat abdominal cavity 2, 12, 24, 48, 72 h after infection. The expressions were quantitative analyzed by immunofluorescence staining and laser scanning confocal microscopy. Result The expressions of B7.1 and B7.2 were upregulated after infected with the sporozoites. The expression of B7.1 was slowly induced and then descended at 72 h. B7.2 was rapidly induced and maximally expressed at 48 h and downregulation at 72 h. The expression of B7.2 was significantly higher than that of B7.1 at all time points assayed after stimulation (P

Objective To develop a convenient, rapid and specific method using real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) for detection of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy(FSHD). Methods Genomic DNA was extracted and digested by restricted endonuclease EcoR Ⅰ , followed by agarose electrophoresis. The DNA (< 38 kb) was retrieved from agarose electrophoretic gels. The primers and probe were designed in D4ZA gene in chromosome 4. One hundred and fifteen subjects were examined by FQ-PCR using the retrieved DNA (<38 kb) as a template and the result was analyzed by fluorescent curve comparing with positive control. Results The results by FQ-PCR showed that 13 cases were positive in 16 FSHD cases whose EcoR Ⅰ fragment sizes were known, 75 cases were negative in 78 cases of normal controls, 15 cases were positive in 16 FSHD cases diagnosed clinically whose EcoR Ⅰ fragment sizes were unknown, and 3 cases were positive in 5 cases of relatives of FSHD patients. Consistency was checked using Kappa index between the 2 gene diagnostic tests for FSHD (FQ-PCR test and the traditional Southern blotting test), and between the 2 diagnostic criterions (gene diagnosis by FQ-PCR and clinical diagnosis). The results were statistically significant (κ = 0. 765, P = 0. 002 ; κ = 0. 844, P = 0. 000). Conclusions A new genetic diagnostic method of FSHD by FQ-PCR was developed, which was more simplified and reliable compared to the time-consuming, radioactive Southern blotting. It could also detect the D4Z4 arrays in cases having deletion of p13E-11 as well as the interchromosomal exchange between 4q35 and 10q26. The new method of FQ-PCR for FSHD may be extended to utilize clinically in future.

BACKGROUND: Kadsurenone is characterized by obvious anti-oxidation and calcium ion resistant effect and can effectively clear oxygen-derived free radicals, decrease activity of pancreatic enzyme, and relieve self-digestion of pancreatic tissue.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of kadsurenone on the splanchnic blood flow in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), especially the mechanism of pancreatic blood flow.DESIGN: Contrast observational animal study.SETTING:Laboratory of General Surgery and Central Laboratory of Tangdu Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: A total of 40 male Sprague-Dawiey (SD) rats, of clean grade and weighing 200-280 g, were selected in this study. Kadsurenone (150 mg) was provided by Pharmacological College of Peking University (batch number: 20050347); sodium taurocholate by Sigma Company (batch number: 86339); amylase reagent by Roche Company (batch number: irp 170505); Imexlab9100 Doppler ultrasound diagnostic meter by Imex Company; 8 mHz probe privated by Doppler ultrasound diagnostic meter by Imex Company, USA (number: X1-M0008).METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of General Surgery, Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from April to October 2006. Eight rats were randomly selected as sham operation group, and other rats were used to establish SAP models at 12 hours after fasting. Continuously, 32 SAP rats were randomly divided into two subgroups after model establishment, including kadsurenone group (n =16) and model group (n =16). In addition, all rats in the two subgroups were observed at 12 and 24 hours after operation with 8 rats at each time point. However, rats in the sham operation group did not give any treatment. At 3 hours after operation, rats in kadsurenone group were given 10 mg/kg kadsurenone through jejunum fistula once every 6 hours for one or two times in total. Kadsurenone was dissolved in 25 g/L dimethyl sulfoxide. In addition, rats in model group were given the same dosage of dimethyl sulfoxide through jejunum fistula; furthermore, rats in sham operation group were only opened their abdomens. Blood starch was respectively measured in sham operation group at 12 hours after abdominal operation, model group at 12 hours and kadsurenone group at 24 hours after acute pancreatic operation; meanwhile, Doppler ultrasound was used to detect local artery of pancreas (relative to the crossed site between head and body of pancreas), blood flow of portal vein, splenic artery and blood flow of superior mesenteric artery.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of plasma amylase and blood flow at various time points.RESULTS : All 40 SD rats were involved in the final analysis.①Measuring results of plasma amylase: Level of plasma amylase was increased in both model group and kadsurenone group at various time points as compared with that in sham operation group (P＜0.01 ). With the time passing by, level of plasma amylase was still increased in model group, and there was significant difference from that at 12 hours after operation (P＜0.05). ②Blood flow of local pancreatic artery: At 12 and 24 hours after operation, blood flow was lower in kadsurenone group and model group than that in sham operation group (P＜0.01). With the development of illness course, blood flow was still decreased in kadsurenone group (P＜0.05); however, blood flow was obviously higher than that in model group at various time points (P＜0.01 ). ③ Blood flow of superior mesenteric arterial root, portal vein and splenic artery: Blood flow was lower in kadsurenone group and model group than that in sham operation group at 12 and 24 hours after operation, respectively (P＜0.01). In addition, blood flow was remarkably increased in kadsurenone group as compared with that in model group at various time points (P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: Kadsurenone can increase the pancreatic blood flow and relieve pathological injury in SAP rats.
