Objective To construct the third-generation self-inactivating lentiviral vectors including BMP-2,BMP-4,BMP-6,BMP-7,BMP-9 and Wnt3a,then integrate them into the genome of mouse embryonic osteoblast cell,MC3T3-E1,and to explore the capability of osteogenic differentiation of individual bone morphogenetic control factor and the effective approaches to further improve the capability of osteogenic differentiation.Methods The plasmid vectors of gene expression including BMP-2,BMP-4,BMP-6,BMP-7,BMP-9 and Wnt3a were constructed,which were identified through enzyme cutting and further confirmed through sequencing.After packing pELNS-BMP-2,BMP-4,BMP-6,BMP-7,BMP-9 and Wnt3a,mouse embryonic osteoblast cell,MC3T3-E 1 was transfected,and the transfection efficiency was confirmed by GFP fluorescence imaging.The expression level of Runx2 mRNA and the transfection efficiency of individual bone morphogenetic control factor was detected by Real time PCR.Eight groups of MC3T3-E1 were dual-gene co-transfected,and the transfection efficiency was verified by GFP fluorescence imaging.ELISA was adopted to detect the expression level of BGP and ALP in MC3T3-E1culture supernatants;Real time PCR was adopted to detect the expression level of Runx2 mRNA;Western blot was adopted to detect the expression level of protein of BMP-2,BMP-4,BMP-6,BMP-7,BMP-9 and Wnt3a.Thus,the effectiveness of osteogenic differentiation of dual-gene co-transfection were evaluated.Results The recombination of lentiviruses,pELNS-BMP-2,pELNS-BMP-4,pELNS-BMP-6,pELNS-BMP-7,pELNS-BMP-9 and pELNS-Wnt3a were successfully constructed.MC3T3-E1 was successfully transfected.The expression levels of Runx2 mRNA were:BMP-2 ＞ BMP-4 ＞ BMP-9 ＞ BMP-7 ＞ Wnt3a ＞ BMP-6.Successful transfection of the dual-gene co-transfection of eight groups of MC3T3-E1 were verified by GFP fluorescence imaging.The expression level of Runx2 mRNA,the expression of BGP and ALP showed BMP-2 and BMP-7 co-transfection group was the most efficient in osteogenesis transfection.Western blot revealed thatthe protein expression of BMP-2,BMP-4,BMP-6,BMP-7,BMP-9 and Wnt3a increased after cotransfection of MC3T3-E1 by BMP-2 and BMP-7.Conclusion The third-generation lentiviral vector,pELNS can lead BMP-2,BMP-4,BMP-6,BMP-7,BMP-9 and Wnt3a into MC3T3-E1,mouse embryonic osteoblast cell,and stabilize its expression.Individual bone morphogenetic control factors can promote MC3T3-E1's differentiation to osteoblasts.The dual-gene co-transfection of BMP-2 and BMP-7 can effectively promote osteoblast conversion,which provides significant theoretical basis and technical support for remodeling of tissue engineering bone.

Objective To evaluate effects of chronic arsenic exposure and arsenic exposure time on oxidative DNA lesions in humans. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 108 subjects exposed to high concentrations of arsenic in drinking water and 75 control subjects. A cohort study was conducted in 64 subjects exposed to high levels of arsenic in drinking water for 7 or 9 years. Urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydredeoxygnanine(8-OHdG) levels were analyzed by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit(ELISA). Urinary arsenic concentration was detected with hydride generation atomic absorption spectroscopy. Results In the cross-sectional study, the median of urinary arsenic concentration was 484.17 mg/kg Cr for the arsenic-exposed group, and 13.80 mg/kg Cr for the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=32.57, P<0.01). The median of urinary 8-OHdG levels was 16.60 and 21.88 mg/kg Cr for arsenic-exposed children and adults respectively, much higher than control children(10.50 mg/kg Cr) and adults (9.11 mg/kg Cr), and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.049, 6913, all P<0.01). Urinary 8-OHdG levels were signifieandy lower for children than adults in the exposed group(t=-1.997, P<0.05). In the cohort study, the median of urinary arsenic concentration was 461.3 mg/kg Cr for the 7-year-exposed subjects and 422.90 mg/kg Cr for the 9-year-expesed subjects, and no significant difference was observed(t=-0.250, P 0.05). The median of urinary 8- OHdG levels for 9-year-exposed children and adults were 23.46 and 24.30 mg/kg Cr respectively, significantly increased compared with those of 7-year-exposed(14.29 and 18.38 mg/kg Cr), and the difference had statical signhqcanees (t= -2.949,-3.055, all P<0.01). Conclusions Chronic arsenic exposure can lead to oxidative DNA lesions in humans. The arsenic-induced DNA lesions may aggravate with the exposure time in a certain period.

Objective To evaluate the role of calcium channel in the mechanism of the generation and maintenance of bursting firing of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopaminergic neurons in rats.Methods Using the patch clamp technique,we observed the firing pattern switching features after adding 10 μmol/L N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA),compared the changes of whole-calcium current and L-type calcium current with or without NMDA,and analyzed the correlation between the generation of burst firing and L-type calcium channel activation.Results After NMDA treatment,the firing pattern of SNc dopaminergic neurons changed to burst firing,which was compromised by a charastistic high plateau potential and series of action potential on it.The current density of L-type calcium current increased significantly after adding NMDA,which,from (2.86 ±0.26) pA/pF (n =28),significantly increased to (3.75 ± 0.18) pA/pF (n =34 ; t =7.52,P =0.002 8).The high plateau potential was almost abolished with the application of verapamil,a specific antagonist of L-type calcium channel.Consiusion NMDA could induce the firing pattern changed to burst firing in SNc dopaminergic neurons,while L-type calcium channel contributes to the process of generation and maintenance of burst firing.

Objective To investigate and analyze the mineral and bone disorder (MBD) in the patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD),reveal the change of related indexes of CKD-MBD.Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.From October 2011 to May 2014,1318 inpatients and hemodialysis outpatients were enrolled.Parameters related to MBD,including serum phosphorus (P),total calcium (t-Ca),intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) were analyzed.Last,it was analyzed with multiple regression analysis to related factors of the secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients with CKD.Results Serum calcium,phosphorus and iPTH had no obvious abnormalities at the early stages of CKD [GFR ＞ 60 ml· min-1· (1.73 m2)-1],and relatively stable before GFR ＞ 30 ml· min-1· (1.73m2)-1.After entering the CKD4 stage,serum phosphorus,iPTH increased sharply and serum calcium decreased obviously along with the decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR).Serum P,t-Ca and iPTH levels were statistically significant in CKD 1 to 5D patients,respectively,serum P:(1.13±0.20) mmol/L,(1.14±0.22) mmol/L,(1.26±0.23) mmol/L,(1.48±0.34) mmol/L,(2.05±0.61) mmol/L and (2.08±0.58)mmol/L;serum t-Ca (mmol/L) (2.35±0.13) mmol/L,(2.35±0.12) mmol/L,(2.35±0.15) mmol/L,(2.26± 0.18) mmol/L,(2.07±0.29) mmol/L and (2.31±0.26) mmol/L;iPTH:57.8(45.6,91.8) ng/L,54.1(37.8,74.6) ng/L,71.6(45.8,102.2) ng/L,131.1(81.7,205.1) ng/L,277.5(173.6,395.3) ng/L and 354.9 (194.4,720.3) ng/L;The stepwise logistic regression analysis showed:hypocalcemia (OR=3.32,P ＜ 0.01) and decreased GFR (OR=5.28,P ＜ 0.01) were independent risk factors of iPTH elevation at stage CKD3～ 5.Conclusions From the beginning of the CKD3 stage,serum t-Ca,P,iPTH level began to be relatively abnormal as renal function declined.Hyperphosphatemia,SHPT has not been improved significantly in CKD5D stage patients even with hemodialysis.The regulation of hemodialysis on serum calcium showed overcorrecting phenomenon.

Objective To explore the surgical strategies of thoracic spinal stenosis with dural ossification. Methods One-hundred and eight patients with thoracic spinal stenosis were treated. Dural ossification was found in 29 cases during operation from January 2004 to June 2008. There were 19 males and 10females, with an average age of 56.4 years (42-74 years). The course of disease was 13 months (2-48months). The lesion was located in T1-T4 in 4 cases, T5-T8 in 5 cases, and T9-T12 in 20 cases. All the patients were treated by posterior lamina resection. Both ossificated dural and ossificated yellow ligament were resected in 16 patients. Decompression was performed with partial ossification remaining on dural surface in 13 cases. JOA score was used to evaluate the outcomes 1, 3 and 12 months after operation. Results The average operation time was 140 min, and average bleeding was 300 ml. Dural incisions were repaired with a wound drainage in 11 cases. Seven cases appeared cerebrospinal fluid leakage which healed in 3-5 days.Dural incisions were not repaired without wound drainage in 5 cases. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in these cases healed in 5-7 days. Thirteen cases treated with floating method did not appear cerebrospinal fluid leakage. All patients did not undergo subarachnoid infection and the aggravation of original nervous system symptoms. According to JOA score, all patients were evaluated as excellent in 22 cases, good in 5 and fair in 2 cases, and excellent and good rate was 93%. Conclusion For thoracic spinal stenosis with dural ossification, resection of both ossificated dural and ossificated yellow ligament and complete decompression with partial ossification remaining on dural surface is safe and reliable. Dural ossification does not influence the prognosis, but increase operative difficulty and risk.

Objective To study the clinical features and surgical strategies of thoracic spinal stenosis caused by ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament(OPLL).Methods From January 2004 to March 2009,21 cases of thoracic spinal stenosis casued by OPLL,including 13 males and 8 females,received surgical treatments.Those cases aged from 34 to 71 years,with an average of 51.2 years old.The courses of disease were from 2 to 50 months,averaged 11 months.The lesions located in upper thoracic(T1-T4)for 4 cases,in middle thoracic(T5-T8)for 7 cases,in lower thoracic(T9-T12)for 10 cases.Nine cases were associated with ossification of ligamentum flavum(OLF),and 8 cases combined with cervical OPLL.Eleven cases received laminectomy and 10 cases received anterolateral decompression.Results The operation time was 90 to 240 min for posterior laminectomy with an average of 140 min,and 110 to 360 min for anterolateral decompression with an average of 240 min.All cases had no worse postoperative symptoms,neurological complications,subarachnoid cavity or wound infection.Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)score was 8 to 15 with an average of 9.17±1.63 in 6 months after surgery.Nerve function improvement was excellent for 8 cases,good for 6 cases,fair for 5 cases and poor for 2 cases.The excellent and good rate was 66.7%.JOA score was 8-15,averaged 10.23±1.64,in 12 months after surgery.Nerve function improvement was excellent for 8 cases,good for 7 cases,fair for 4 cases,and poor for 2 cases.The excellent and good rate was 71.4%.Conclusion Thoracic spinal stenosis result from OPLL,which often combine with cervical OPLL and OLF,often show multiple manifestations.Posterior laminectomy and anterolateral decompression are suitable for those conditions.
