Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2015;(8):1107-1110
Objective To explore whether PI3K/ AKT signaling pathway participates in the inhibiting effect of Ru-tin on H2 O2-induced apoptosis in human lens epithelial cells( HLEC). Methods HLEC were divided into four groups: control group,H2 O2 group,rutin group,LY294002 group. Cell survival rates were determined by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay; cell apoptosis rates were monitored by flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC and propidiun iodide(PI) staining. Western blot was used to measure the expres-sion levels of AKT and p-AKT. Results H2 O2 induced HLEC apoptosis. Compared with H2 O2 group,rutin group not only increased the expression lever of p-AKT,but also reduced cell apoptosis rate(P < 0. 01). In LY294002 group, LY294002, an inhibitor of PI3K/ AKT signaling pathway,could significantly block the change of these inde-xes produced by rutin group(P < 0. 01), but no significant change compared with H2 O2 group. Conclusion Rutin inhibits H2 O2-induced cell apoptosis and may be associated with PI3K/ AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To compare the cardiomyocyte apoptosis and early postoperative recovery in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement under propofol-or midazolam-combined anesthesia.Methods Forty NYHA class Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients (aged 48-64 yr and weighing 45-78 kg) undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were randomly divided into midazolam group (Group M) and propofol group (Group P) (n=20each). The patients were premedicated with morphine 0.1 mg/kg i.v. and scopolamine 0.3 mg i.v. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.2 mg/kg (in Group M) or propofol 2 mg/kg (in Group P) combined with fentanyl 10 μg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg, and maintained with propofol 5 mg. kg-1·h-1 (in Group P) or midazolam 0.1 mg·kg-1·h-1(in Group M) and intermittent i.v. boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium after tracheal intubation. The patients were mechanically ventilated with PETCO2 maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. Myocardial tissues were obtained from the right atrium before and after CPB for determination of apoptosis in cardiomyocytes (by TUNEL). The apoptotic index was calculated. The expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 was determined by immunohistochemical avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) technique staining. The mean airway pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored. Aortic cross-clamping time, surgical and CPB times, spontaneous recovery of normal heart beat, emergence from anesthesia, extubation time and duration of ICU stay were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results The percentage of spontaneous recovery of normal heart beat after release of aortic cross clamp was significantly higher and the need for dobutamine support was significantly less in Group P than in Group M ( P < 0.05). The emergence from anesthesia was significantly more rapid, the extubation time and the ICU stay were significantly shorter in Group P than in Group M (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in apoptosis index and expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 before CPB between the two groups. The apoptosis index and expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 were significantly increased after CPB in Group M and significantly higher than those after CPB in Group P (P<0.05).Conclusion Cardiomyocyte apoptosis in patients undergoing CPB can be inhibited and the postoperative recovery is more rapid under propofol-combined anesthesia.

[Objective]To investigate the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) feeder layer, culture sere and freeze-thaw lysates on expansion and differentiation of cord blood CD34~+ cells in vitro. [Methods] MSC were isolated from human bone marrow and cultured until the third passage. Sera were obtained from the cultured MSC, and freeze-thaw lysates were obtained by repeated freeze-thaw procedures. Cord blood CD34~+ cells were isolated by magnetic cell separation system, and were co-cultured with the MSC feeder layer, culture sera, freeze-thaw lysates and hematopeietic growth factors (HGFs), respectively. The nucleated cells, CD34~+ cells, CD34~+CD38~- cells, CD41~+ cells and CD3~+ cells in the above culture system were detected by flow cytometry on day 6 and day 12. [Results] ①MSC feeder layer had a strong effect on nucleated cells, CD34~+,CD34~+CD38~- cells expansion. The MSC sera and freeze-thaw lysates had similar effect on cell expansion, but the effect was weaker than that of feeder layer (P<0.05). ② Both MSC sera and feeder layer inhibited cord blood CD34~+ cells differentiation toward CD3~+ cells or CD19~+ cells, and no significant differences were found between these two groups (P>0.05). ③ Both MSC sera and feeder layer promoted cord blood CD34~+ cells differentiation toward CD41~+ cells, and the effect was stronger in the feeder layer than that of the sera (P<0.05). ④ Freeze-thaw lysates had no effect on cell expansion and differentiation, and were similar with that of HGFs (P>0.05). [Conclusions] The MSC sera have positive effects on expansion of cord blood CD34~+ and CD34~+CD38~- cells, moreover they have the ability of promoting cord blood CD34~+ cells differentiation toward CD41~+ cells.

Objective: To observe the histological changes of lamina extema cranii at both the graft and donor areas after having been grafted in animal experiment. Methods; 4 mini pigs aged from 8 to 12 months were selected. Part of the outer table of skull (2.5 cm × 1.0 cm) was decorticated and was divided equally. Both were implanted on each side of the snouts of animals. 2 pigs were selected randomly and were killed 12 weeks postoperation. Each 1, 0 cm ×0. 5 cm specimen was harvested and histological study was performed. The other 2 animals were killed 24 weeks after operation. Gross inspection of the donor site was performed and histological study was done. Results; In the graft area; bone absorption was obvious 12 weeks postoperation, but bone matrix increased obviously at 24 weeks postoperation. Results of scanning electron microscope showed that interface between bone graft and recipient site was discernment and collagen type I was malaligned 12 weeks postoperation. Collagen fibers were in good order and good mineralization was found 24 weeks postoperation. In the donor area; small amounts of new bone formation could be seen and alignment of cemental line was chaotic 12 weeks postoperation. At 24 weeks, bone formation was obvious and alignment of haversian canal was regular. Scanning electron microscopy showed that structure of the tissue was uneven and disorder at 12 weeks postoperation. Collagen fibers were in good order and good mineralization was found 24 weeks postoperation. On gross view, raw surface of the donor site got complete healing, os-teanagenesis was incomplete and introcession could be observed in the local area. Conclusion; Histological remodeling of lamina exter-na cranii is complete at 24 weeks after having been grafted. The donor site can regenerate but morphologic introcession could be observed.

Objective To compare the cognitive function of children with behavior problems and normal children. Methods 87 children with behavior problems were choosed as study group,according to Rutter' s Children Behaviour Qestionnaire. And 87 normal children were choosed randomly as normal control. Chinese Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (C-WISC) ,Clinical Memory Scale (CMS) ,Number Cancellation Test (NCT) and the Forth Exceptional Test (FET) were adopted to assess the cognitive function of children in two groups. Results Compared with normal control, arithmetic scale ( ( 10.40 ± 3.02 ) vs ( 12. 13 ± 3.26 ) ), verbal IQ ( ( 121.55 ±12.54) vs ( 129.40 ± 13.98) ), object assembly scale ( ( 9.98 ± 2.79 ) vs ( 11.70 ± 2.78 ) ), performance IQ((97.40±10.84) vs ( 103.93 ±14.22)),full IQ ((112.28±11.14) vs (119.03 ± 12.57)),verbal comprehension IQ ( ( 110.48 ± 11.23 ) vs ( 115.80 ± 12.31 ) ), memory/concentration IQ ( ( 101.25 ± 11.66 ) vs ( 109.40 ± 15.45 ) ),the net scale ( (67.05 ± 33.85 ) vs ( 88.72 ± 22.51 ) ) and error rate( ( 32.27 ± 35.77 ) %vs ( 15.41 ± 10.35 ) % ) were lower in children with behavior problems ( all P < 0.05 ). In study group, the total scale of Rutter' s Children Behaviour Qestionnaire was negatively correlated with memory/concentration IQ, and with net scale(r = - 0. 335, - 0. 367, P < 0.05 );but it was positively correlated with error rate (r = 0. 333, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Cognitive defects may exist in children with behavior problems.
