BACKGROUND:Herba epimedi, a traditional Chinese medicine, has a long time in dealing with various orthopedic disorders. Icarinwithmany biological activites is one of the most important compositions of Herba epimedi. OBJECTIVE:Toinvestigate the effects of icarin on osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cels and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were treated using icarin with or without osteogenic mediumin vitro. Osteogenic differentiation markers, including runt-related transcription factor 2, osteocalcin and osterix, were detected by real time-qPCR. Alizarin red staining was used to measure calcium nodes generated by osteoblasts induced frombonemarrow mesenchymal stem cels. The proximal tibia bone structure of rats fed with icarin (2 mgperday) for 5 weeks was detected and analyzed by MicroCT. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Icarin was able to promote the expression of genes related to osteogenic differentiation in the absence or presence of osteogenic induction. Icarin could obviously increase the quantity of calcium nodes whenmesenchymal stem celswere cultured in the osteogenic medium. The animal experiment showed that icarin improved formation of trabecular bone.

Objective:To investigate the effects of mixed probiotics on food allergy and the underlying mechanism.Methods:BALB/c mice on the 15 th day of pregnancy were randomly (random number table method) classified into the control group, food allergy model group and mixed probiotics group.Mice in the food allergy model and mixed pro-biotics group were subjected to ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization after birth, and those in the mixed probiotics group were then given probiotic solution by gavage from day 21 to day 35.Mice in control group were similarly given 9 g/L saline.Twenty-four hours after the last OVA sensitization, intestinal histopathological sections were prepared to observe intestinal pathological changes.Blood smears were prepared to detect eosinophil count.In addition, serum samples were collected to measure cytokine levels and OVA specific antibodies.The number of dendritic cells (DCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in mouse mesenteric lymph nodes was calculated.Differences among 3 groups were compared by the One- Way ANOVA or Kruskal- Wallis H test. Results:Compared with those of food allergy model group, diarrhea score, the ratio of eosinophils and serum levels of interleukin(IL)-4, IL-5, IL-13, mast cell protease 1 (MCPT-1), and OVA specific antibodies IgE and IgG were significantly lower in mixed probiotics group[(2.00±0.71) points vs.(3.22±0.97) points, (2.28±1.61)% vs.(10.99±2.26)%, (413.68±22.81) ng/L vs.(708.78±27.66) ng/L, (36.64±3.74) ng/L vs.(46.05±4.95) ng/L, (201.37±65.61) ng/L vs.(495.22±96.66) ng/L, (31 924.15±1 177.77) ng/L vs.(36 175.77±618.29) ng/L, (9.10±8.08) ng/L vs.(19.69±0.84) ng/L, (30.50±8.81) ng/L vs.(190.32±6.40) ng/L], while IL-10 level was significantly higher[(164.12±3.88) ng/L vs.(123.90±7.31) ng/L] ( t=3.37, 8.72, 16.07, 3.90, 7.40, 7.95, 3.91, 44.00 and 7.76, respectively, all P<0.01). Compared with those of food allergy model group, programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) level on the surface of CD 103+ DCs and CD 103+ CD 80-CD 40-DCs, the proportion of Tregs in CD4 + T cells, and the level of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) on the surface of Tregs were significantly higher in mixed probiotics group[(75.59±0.45)% vs.(45.60±4.73)%, (67.56±1.87)% vs.(37.12±6.07)%, (8.24±0.69)% vs.(6.20±0.66)%, (11.25±3.12)% vs.(4.08±2.33)%]( t=7.88, 4.48, 3.63 and 3.71, all P<0.01). Conclusions:Mixed probiotics can alleviate the symptoms of food allergy and inflammatory response of young rats through mediating Tregs via the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway.

Objective To summarize the clinical and electroencephalogram features of neuronal ceroid lipofus-cinosis (NCL). Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical phenotypes and electroencephalogram features of pa-tients diagnosed with NCL in Department of Pediatrics,Peking University First Hospital from February 2000 to August 2015 were conducted. Results Among the 30 patients,18 were male and 12 were female. The age of onset was between 9 months to 7 years old. The first symptoms included seizure in 22 patients,psychomotor developmental delay or regre-ssion in 7 cases,and visual loss in 1 case. Clinical manifestations included psychomotor regression in 29 cases,epilepsy in 28 cases,visual impairment in 19 cases,ataxia in 20 patients,and positive pyramidal tract sign in 13 cases. Twenty-one patients accepted fundus oculi examination. Seven patients were found with macular degeneration,8 cases with optic nerve atrophy,2 cases with retinal pigment degeneration,and 8 patients were normal. Brain atrophy were found in all 30 cases,including diffuse brain atrophy in 14 cases,only cerebellar atrophy in 6 cases,and cerebral atrophy with periven-tricular T2W high signal in 10 cases. Video electroencephalogram(EEG)examination was performed in 27 patients and their backgrounds were diffuse slow waves. Seven patients didn't have physiological vertex sharp waves or sleep spin-dles. Generalized epileptiform discharges were captured in 6 cases,focal epileptiform discharges in 15 cases. Both of generalized and focal epileptiform discharges were captured in 6 cases. Generalized slow wave burst in 4 cases,and in-termittent photic stimulation evoked epileptiform discharges in 3 cases. Ten patients were observed with clinical sei-zures,including 4 cases of myoclonic episodes,3 cases of atypical absences,3 cases of focal seizures,1 case of atonic and one of tonic spasms. Peripheral blood enzyme examination was taken in 13 patients,among whom 8 patients were identified with tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1)deficiency and 1 patient with palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) deficiency. Twenty-eight patients accepted skin and/or muscle electron microscope examination. Osmiophilic granular was found in 2 cases,curvilinear bodies in 15 cases,fingerprint profiles in 2 cases,curvilinear and linear bodies in 1 case,fingerprint profiles and osmiophilic granular in 1 case. NCL-related gene detection was conducted in 3 patients, with 1 patient identified with CLN6 compound heterozygous mutations and 2 patients with TPP1 homozygous mutations. Thirty patients were classified into 3 groups based on the onset age,enzymatic examination results and pathological examination of skin and muscle,including 5 cases of infantile NCL,20 cases of late-infantile NCL,and 5 cases of juvenile NCL. Conclusions The clinical features of NCL included multiple types of epileptic seizures (among which myoclonus was the most common type),psychomotor developmental delay or regression,vision loss,ataxia,and positive pyramidal tract sign. Its MRI was characterized with brain atrophy. EEG showed diffuse slow wave activity,with focal and/or generalized epileptiform discharges. Specific enzyme examination,and skin or muscle pathology or gene test could help to make diagnosis.
