Aim To investigate the skeletal effects of ginseng flower bud(GF)on osteopenia induced by D-galactose using histomorphometry and biomechanical properties.Methods Fifty three-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups.Rats in NS group(NS)were treated with NS(5 mL·kg-1·d-1)by subcutaneous injection and daily oral gavage with vehicle as control.Rats in the other four groups were given D-galactose at the dose of 100 mg·kg-1·d-1 by subcutaneous injection.Solvent control was performed between NS and DG: gastric irrigation with distilled water of 10 mL·kg-1·d-1.Other groups were: CP was gastric irrigated with integrated medicine(stanozolol 0.54 mg·kg-1·d-1+piracetam 432 mg·kg-1·d-1),GF(L)with ginseng flower bud of 0.486 g·kg-1·d-1 and GF(H)with ginseng flower bud of 2.43 g·kg-1·d-1 for 14 weeks.The longitudinal proximal tibial metaphyseal(PTM),the fifth lumbar vertebral body(LVB)and tibial shaft(Tx)sections were performed undecalcifiedly and used for bone histomorphometric analysis.858 Mini Bionix materials testing system was used to analyze the biomechanic properties of right femur via three-point bending test.The left femur was dried and assimilated,whose bone calcium(Ca),phosphate(P)content and bone hydroxyproline content were tested.Results Compared with D-glagatose group,in PTM of D-galactose treated rats,the％Tb.Ar was increased both in GF(L)and GF(H)treated groups.While the Tb.Sp was decreased.％Oc.S.Pm and Oc.N/mm decreased in GF(L),and those in GF(H)were decreased as well.In Tx,％Ct.Ar was raised,while％Ma.Ar was decreased in GF(L)and GF(H).The elastic load of femur was increased.Conclusions Compared with DG group,there are significant differences in bone histomorphometry of Tx and PTM in all doses of GF,but no significant changes are detected in hydroxyproline,Ca,and P content of femur.

Aim To investigate the effects of predni-sone on trabecular microstructure and biomechanical properties of femur in a rat model of type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA ) using micro-CT and biome-chanics.Methods Forty 8-week-old male Lewis rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:control (CON ) group with 6 rats,and the remaining 34 rats were used to establish the CIA model.3 weeks after immunization screening CIA rats were randomly divided into CIA group,CIA plus prednisone 4.5 mg · kg-1 · d -1 group and CIA plus prednisone 9 mg · kg-1 · d -1 group.Rats in CON group were given vehicle as well as in CIA group.Rats in the other two groups were treated with prednisone at 4.5 mg·kg-1 ·d -1 or 9 mg ·kg-1 · d -1 .After 90 days treatment,all rats were euthanized,and the left femur was collected for biome-chanics,micro-CT scanning and three-dimensional re-construction.Results Micro-CT data showed that tra-becular thickness,trabecular number,bone volume/total volume,bone mineral density in CIA group were significantly lower than those in CON group.While tra-becular separation,structure model index were signifi-cantly higher than those in CON group.Compared with CON group,biomechanical properties (elastic load, maximum load,break load and stiffness)were signifi-cantly decreased in CIA group.Compared with CIA group,bone volume/total volume and trabecular num-ber were increased,while trabecular separation was significantly decreased in two prednisone groups.Com-pared with CIA group,there was no significant change in biomechanical properties in two prednisone groups. Conclusions Treatment with prednisone for 3 months can ameliorate the damage of trabecular microstructure of the femur in CIA rats,but it has no effect on biome-chanical properties and bone mineral density.

Objective In order to understand the chondrogenesis differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in either hydrogel or pellet culture,we applied the two methods and reveal the possible mechanism and for further investigation.Methods In C3H10T1/2 chondrogenic differentiation,we apply extracellular matrix hydrogel mixed the cell suspensions of freshly prepared (including scaling chondroitin sulfate,sodium hyaluronate synthesis and cross-linking agent) co-culture system and high cell density pellet formed by centrifugation.Chondrogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 was induced by treatment with TGF-β3 (10 ng/ml),dexamethasone (100 nmol/L),ascorbic acid (50 ug/ml),1 ∶ 100 dilution ITS+Premix and high glucose-DMEM medium with 0.2 volume fraction fetal bovine serum.And high glucose-DMEM medium with 0.2 volume fraction fetal bovine serum is for control group.Histochemistry staining was utilized to identify extracellular proteoglycan and real-time PCR was performed to assess gene expression of SOX9,collagen Ⅱa1/Ⅹa1 and aggrecan for the 1st,2nd and 3rd week respectively.Results In the hydrogel model for 3 weeks chondrogenic differentiation,the expression of master transcription factor SOX9 was upregulated in both culture models.While the marker genes of collagen Ⅱa1 and collagen Ⅹa1 were all promoted in hydrogel culture,the aggrecan gene expression was peaked in pellet culture.In addition,immunocytochemistry analysis of the hydrogel and pellet for 3 week illustrated the expression of extracellular matrix and more obviously in the hydrogel model.Conclusion In compared with pellet culture,the MSCs in the hydrogel were more likely promoted chondrogenesis leading to the eventual expression of marker genes.And the hydrogel would be applied in regeneration of cartilage injury.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cells (lds-RBCs) storaged for different time on blood transfusion effect of patients with hematologic diseases and malignant tumors, as well as to evaluate the storage quality of lds-RBCs in blood stations. 【Methods】 Seven hospitals (4 tertiary-A hospitals and 3 secondary-A hospitals), applying for blood from our blood center, were selected. Blood transfusion cases (medical record) and related data (indicators) of patients with blood diseases and malignant tumors in those hospitals from December 2018 to May 2019 were collected, including disease diagnosis (type) before transfusion, demographic characteristics, date of solo transfusion of lds-RBCs, units of lds-RBCs [(1~2)U/bag, 1 U=200 mL whole blood], different storage duration (1~5 weeks) (bar code), and hemoglobin (Hb) 48 h before and after transfusion. The efficacy of lds-RBCs (storaged for different time) transfusion in patients with hematologic diseases and malignant tumors was evaluated by statistical analysis. 【Results】 A total of 3 557 patients with hematologic diseases and malignant tumors were enrolled in this study. No significant changes were noticed in transfusion efficacy by blood transfusion unit, gender and previous transfusion history (P > 0.05). The effective rate of lds-RBCs in patients with blood diseases and malignant tumors, stratified by storage duration, i. e. storaged for >1~2 weeks, >2~3 weeks, >3~4 weeks and more than >4~5 weeks, was 78.77% vs 77.68% vs 75.06% vs 70.37%, and 79.32% vs 76.73% vs 72.79% vs 67.65%, respectively(P<0.05), with lds-RBCs of 4-5 storage weeks presenting the lowest transfusion efficacy in both groups of patients. 【Conclusion】 The storage time of most lds-RBCs supplied by our center is moren than 3 weeks, and the transfusion effect of lds-RBCs stored for 5 weeks needs further observation. In order to ensure and improve the efficacy of blood transfusion, evidence-based medicine and information management are needed to help the clinical gasp the advantageous time of blood products and shorten the storage-to-transfusion time of red blood cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of olfactory mucosal neural stem cells (OM-NSCs) on neuronal apoptosis in rats. Methods OM-NSCs were isolated from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, and neurons were isolated from fetal Sprague-Dawley rats. The neurons were divided into blank group, control group and experiment group after culture in vitro, which were further cultured in nomal, cultured in nomal 24 hours after stimulation of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and cultured with OM-NSCs 24 hours after stimulation of IL-1β, respectively, for 24 hours. The apoptosis of neurons was observed with double staining of TUNEL and microtubule-associated protein 2 antibodies. Results There were few apoptotic cells in the blank group, and very many in the control group; the apoptotic cells were fewer in the experiment group than in the control group (F=39.764, P<0.01).Conclusion OM-NSCs can significantly inhibit neuronal apoptosis, which may play a role in neuroprotection.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the eff ects of different habitat processing methods on the quality of Cyperus rotundus ， such as sun-drying after steaming ，sun-drying after boiling and direct sun-drying ，and to investigate the optimal habitat processing method of C. rotundus from the perspective of chemical component. METHODS The fingerprint of C. rotundus was established by high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）combined with the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM （2012 edition）. The similarity evaluation was conducted to determine the common peak. Cluster analysis （CA）combined with principal component analysis （PCA）and partial least squares-discriminant analysis （PLS-DA）was used to differentiate and compare C. rotundus treated by different habitat processing methods. And the contents of cyperrenone ，α-cyperone，luteolin and ferulic acid in C. rotundus were determined by HPLC. RESULTS There were 22 common peaks in the HPLC fingerprints of C. rotundus reated by different habitat processing methods ；their similarities were higher than 0.9；common peak 16 and common peak 20 were cyperrenone and α-cyperone. CA results showed that C. rotundus boiled for 4，8 and 12 min were clustered into one category，the rest of the samples clustered into one category. PCA results showed that comprehensive score of C. rotundus steamed for 10 and 15 min and boiled for 2 min were the highest. The steaming treatment had small effect on comprehensive score of samples，while the boiling treatment had a great effect on the quality of the samples ；the overall score of samples decreased sharply after boiling for 2 min. Results of PLS-DA showed that variable importance projection （VIP）of peak 20（α-cyperone），peak 16 （cyperrenone），peak 22，peak 17 and peak 22 in HPLC fingerprints were all higher than 1. The results of content determination showed that there was significant difference in the contents of α-cyperone，cyperrenone and luteolin in samples treated by different habitat processing methods.With the increase of steaming and boiling time ，the contents of α-cyperone，cyperrenone and luteolin showed a significant downward trend ，and boiling had a great impact on them. CONCLUSIONS Too long boiling treatment greatly；2019 destroys the chemical composition of C. rotundus ， andsteaming for 10，15 min or boiling for 2 min is the optimal processing method.

Objective To investigate the effect of Ski on the secretion of inflammatory cytokines from activated astrocytes.
