BACKGROUND: 5-azacytidine (5-Aza) has been frequently used to induce bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)differentiation into cardiomyocyte.OBJECTIVE: To observe expression of cardiomyocyte-related receptors in cardiomyogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs.METHODS: BMSCs of passage three were assigned to four groups: group Ⅰ: L-DMEM solution alone was replaced; Ⅱ:L-DMEM solution was replaced after induction of 100 mg/L AST+5 μmol/L 5-Aza for 24 hours; group Ⅲ: L-DMEM solution wasreplaced after induction of 10 μmol/L 5-Aza for 24 hours; and group Ⅳ: L-DMEM solution was replaced after induction of 5 μmol/L5-Aza for 24 hours. Culture medium was replaced every 3 days in each group. Differentiated cells were identified after 30 days ofinduction.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Expression of cardiomyocyte specific proteins Nkx2.5, cTnT and Desmin was detected in groupsⅢ, Ⅳ and Ⅱ after induction compared with group Ⅰ , with significant differences (P < 0.01). The amount of cTnT and Desminexpression expression was significantly higher in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ compared with group Ⅳ (P < 0.01). The level of Nkx2.5expression was significantly higher in groups Ⅱ (P < 0.01) and Ⅲ (P < 0.05) compared with group Ⅳ. No Nkx2.5, cTnT andDesmin espression was detected in group Ⅰ. After induction for 2 weeks, cells with spontaneous contractility were observed ingroups Ⅱ and Ⅲ, indicating differentiation towards cardiomyocyte after induction. Results demonstrated that induction effectswere similar between 100 mg/L AST+5 μmol/L 5-Aza and 10 μmol/L 5-Aza. This may contribute to cytoprotective effects of AST,which can promote vascular endothelial cell proliferation, enhance celss tolerance to 5-Aza-induced cytotoxicity and upregulatecardiac-specific protein expression.

Objective To observe the effects of Tianma Gouteng Yin (TGY) on the proliferation of myocardial fibroblasts of spontaneous hypertensive rat(SHR) stimulated by insulin. Methods The cardiac fibroblasts from one-day-old spontaneously hypertensive rat were primarily cultured and then sub-cultured to 3rd-6th generation,and were identified with light microscopy and immunohistochemical technique. The effect of serum containing TGY on the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts of SHR treated with insulin was determined by MTT colorimetric assay and 3-H-TdR incorporation,and the cell cycle was analysised with flow cytometer. Results TGY inhibited the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts induced by insulin. Insulin can stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts by promoting the cell cycle transfer from G0/G1 period to S period and increasing the synthesis of cell DNA. Compared with the model group,the percentage of the cells at G0/G1 period was much higher,while the percentage of the cells at S period was much lower in TGY group. Conclusion TGY has the effect on inhibiting the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts and inhibiting the cell cycle transfer from G0/G1 period to S period,which may be one of its therapeutic and protective mechanisms for hypertension and myocardial fibrosis in clinic.

PurposePrimary chest wall rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is very rare with limited imaging characteristic studies in the literature. This paper analyzes the CT imaging features of chest wall RMS in children to improve the diagnostic accuracy.Materials and MethodsThe imaging data of contrast enhanced CT scan of pathology conifrmed chest wall RMS in ifve children were analyzed.ResultsThe lesion was located in the anterior chest wall in one case, in the posterior chest wall in two cases, and the lateral chest wall in two cases (axillary). The tumors were round or spindle in shape with shallow spiculation. Plain CT showed heterogeneous density with patchy low-density necrotic area in two cases, and homogeneous attenuation in three patients. In all ifve cases there was no calciifcation or fatty tissue. The tumor involvement of adjacent spinal canal was seen in one case. Visceral compression was evident including lung parenchyma in one case, heart and liver in one case. Tumor blood vessel growth was seen in two cases. All ifve lesions were adjacent to the ribs, humerus, scapula and the spine with bone destruction in one case. On contrast enhanced scan, all ifve cases demonstrated heterogeneous mild to moderate enhancement, more prominent in the periphery. There were enlarged feeding arteries. Necrotic areas did not enhance. In two cases there were pulmonary metastases. Pleural effusion and ascites were identiifed in one case. There was lymph node metastasis in one case.ConclusionThe CT manifestation of children's chest wall RMS for chest wall include large soft tissue mass, heterogeneous density, no calciifcation or fatty tissue, partial necrosis, adjacent tissue compression, lymph node or distant metastasis. Combining with clinical manifestations, comprehensive analysis of contrast enhanced CT imaging can improve diagnostic accuracy.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transumbilical single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data of 16 patients who received transumbilical single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Xinqiao Hospital from January 2008 to May 2010 were retrospectively analysed. An incision with a length of 1.5 cm was made adjacent to the umbilicus, and then two 5 mm trocars and one 10 mm trocar were installed. After the establishment of pneumoperitoneum, a laparoscopic camera was placed via the 10 mm trocar,and laparoscopic instruments and a 5 mm ultrasonic scalpel were placed via the two 5 mm trocars, respectively.Cholecystectomy was performed in the same manner as for the conventional laparoscopic procedure. Results All the operations were successfully carried out. The operation time was 50-150 minutes. No drainage tube was inserted,and no complications such as bleeding or bile leakage were observed after the operation. Patients recovered well,and no scarring was observed around the umbilicus. Conclusions Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible, but it is more difficult than laparoscopic cholecystectomy in terms of manipulation.Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy has the potential to replace laparoscopic cholecystectomy if the operative instruments are improved.
