Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2005;11(9):714-715
ObjectiveTo determine the effect of acute and chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) resulted from thoracic cord transection on the urinary bladder spinal neural pathway.Methods76 adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, non-SCI, SCIa, SCIb and SCIc respectively. The non-SCI rats underwent no surgical procedure except Pseudorabies virus (PRV) tracer injection into the bladder tissue, while the rats of other groups were spinalized and given PRV injection at different time after SCI. Transcardiac perfusion fixation was done in appropriate survival periods after PRV injection. Then sections of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and spinal cord were processed for visualization of virus by the Streptavidin-Peroxidase (SP) immunohistochemical procedure. All sections were measured with the Olympus Cue-2 image analysis system.ResultsThe bladder weights in SCIb and SCIc groups markedly increased (P<0.001). The time-ordered flow charts of PRV tracing were similar in the non-SCI rats and in the SCI rats. The cross-sectional area of the labeled DRG cell profiles increased significantly after SCI (P<0.001). The number of labeled cells in dorsal horn in L6 and S1 segments 3 days after PRV injection markedly increased in chronic SCI rats, and so did the number of labeled motor neurons 4 days post-injection. ConclusionThe acute and chronic SCI have little effect on the process of virus transneuronal transport below the level of lesion. Subsequent to chronic SCI, marked reorganization of the micturition reflex pathways occurs.

Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2013;(7):659-663
Background Marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been successful induced to differentiate into corneal cells,retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and retinal neuron-like cells in recent years,but there are few studies about MSCs induced into photoreceptor cells and their microenvironment.Objective The aim of this study was to explore the induce and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into photoreceptor-like cells in vitro and microenvironment.Methods The second generation of human BMSCs strain and RPE cells strain were cultured and passaged,respectively,and the fourth generation of BMSCs and the third generation of RPE cells were used in the experiment.BMSCs were cocultured using the mesenchymal stem cells medium (MSCM) contained 20 μg/L basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF),20 μg/L epithelial growth factor (EGF)and 20 μg/L brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) with RPE cells to induce the differentiation of BMSCs in the induced group,and BMSCs were cultured in MSCM only in the control group.The morphology of induced and differentiated cells were observed under the inverted microscope.Inmmunocytochemistry was used in induced for 3-,5-,7-day cells to detect the expression rate of rhodopsin protein for the identification of phenotype of the differentiated cells.RT-PCR was used in induced for 5-,7-day cells to detect the expressions of rhodopsin mRNA and recoverin mRNA.Results Cultured BMSCs grew well with the spindle shape,and passaged RPE cells showed the uniform size and polygon shape with the abundant pigment in the cells.Some induced cells appeared to be the neuron-like cells with round shape and long prominence and the secondary reticular branches.The expression rates of rhodopsinin the cells were (5.83±0.29)%,(20.36±0.32)% and (29.80±2.30)% in the third,fifth and seventh day after induce,which were significantly higher than (0.71 ±0.35) %,(2.56±0.24) % and (2.32±0.42) % of control cells (t3 d =41.510,t5d =107.290,t7 d =30.036,P<0.01).The grey scales of rhodopsin mRNA and recoverin mRNA were significantly elevated in the induced and differentiated cells compared with control cells in the fifth and seventh day (rhodopsin mRNA:t5 d =103.506,t7 d =122.584,P<0.01 ; recoverin mRNA:t5 d =106.674,t7 d =189.992,P<0.01).Conclusions BMSCs can be successfully induced to differentiate into photoreceptor cells after cocultured by conditioned medium with RPE cells.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze bacteria distribution and drug resistance of pediatric severe sepsis in our hospital,and to provide reference for clinical rational use of antimicrobial agents. METHODS:57 pediatric severe sepsis patients were collected from pediatric intensive care unit of our hospital during Jan. 2014 to May 2015. The results of pathogen culture and drug sensitivity tests were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS:Of 57 children,pathogen were detected in 18 cases(31.58%). A total of 91 pathogen were detected,of which there were 24 strains of Gram-positive(G+)bacteria(26.37%)mainly including Staphylococcus and Entero-coccus,60 strains of Gram-negative (G-) bacteria (65.93%) mainly including Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter calco-acetcus-A. baumannii complex and 7 strains of fungus (7.69%) as Candida. 4 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus,22 strains of carbapenems-resistant K. pneumoniae,21 strains of multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae and 7 strains of multi-drug resistant A. calcoacetcus-A. baumannii complex were all detected. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus,Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococ-cus pneumoniae were sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid,with resistant rate of 0. K. pneumoniae was completely resistant to ampi-cillin sodium and sulbactam sodium,piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium,imipenem and cephalosporin,with resistant rate of 100%. Resistant rate of A. calcoacetcus-A. baumannii complex to major common antimicrobial agents was higher than 50%. Esche-richia coli was resistant to cefotaxime,and resistant rates of other antimicrobial agents were lower than 40%. CONCLUSIONS:Main pathogen of pediatric severe sepsis is G- bacteria in our hospital,and carbapenems-resistant K. pneumoniae is detected,to which should be pay attention. The multiple drug-resistant treatment should be adopted for pediatric severe sepsis caused by multiple drug-re-sistant bacteria. Antimicrobial agents should be selected rationally according to pathogen type and the results of drug sensitivity test.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells are few in human bone marrow, and their number will decrease with aging or body weakening, so a large amount of amplification is necessary. However, the biological characteristics of human mesenchymal stem cells of each passage remain poorly understood.OBJECTIVE: To analyze and compare the biological characteristics of each passage of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) so as to provide a basis for clinical demands of tissue engineering.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: Cytological observation in vitro. The experiment was performed at the Department of Orthopedics and Central Laboratory, Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from March to October 2008.MATERIALS: From bone marrow of patients with non-hematopoietic disease, MSCs were provided by Department of Orthopedics, Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.METHODS: Bone marrow was collected form posterior superior iliac spine of patient, MSCs were isolated and cultured by Percoll method. When the cells were confluent at 90%, they were trypsinized and observed by inverted miscroscopy. The second passage of cells were collected for index detection.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cell morphological characteristics and immunophenotype; cell activity was detected by MTT; cell division and apoptosis in the proportion of necrosis were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis.RESULTS: The passaged MSCs exhibited uniform appearance in fusiform shape, and their growth was slowed down after 9 passages, exhibiting cytoplasm vacuolization and body enlarging. The second passage of MSCs was positive for CD44, CD106,and CD105, but negative for CD34 and CD45. MTT values peaked at passage 9, and gradually decreased since passage 10. At passage 11, the number of MSCs at division stage was increased, but from the sixth passage, the number of apoptotic cells increased significantly, reaching more than 60% at passage 8.CONCLUSION: According to biological characteristics analysis of MSCs at each passage, the third to the sixth passage cells are recommend for clinical therapy.
