BACKGROUND: Islet transplantation is an effective method for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus and parts of type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, its application is hindered by insufficient sources and immunologic rejection. Though transdifferentiation of pancreatic stem cells is at the starting step, it is thought to be the hopeful source for islet cell transplantation.OBJECTIVE: To look for a suitable cells-transplantation source for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. METHODS: The pancreatic ductal epithelial cells were separated from Kunming mice and cultured in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with keratinocyte growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor and nicotinamide, etc. Samples were taken at different time points for light microscopy and electron microscope. The changes of CK-19 and PDX-1 were detected by immunocytochemistry at 1 and 16 days. The expressions of insulin and glucagon gene were detected by RT-PCR at 1 and 16 days. The physiologic function of these islet-like clusters was determined by dithizone staining and glucose stimulation at 21 days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A large number of epitheliod cells were CK-19 immunoreactive positive and few of them were PDX-1 positive at 1 day after isolation, then CK-19 positive cells proliferated quickly and formed substantial plaques of epithelial cells in cobblestone pattern. At 16 days later, these cells begin to form islet-like clusters gradually, while most of them were PDX-1 immunoreactive positive. The analysis of mRNA by RT-PCR showed very low levels of insulin and glucagon mRNA in the starting materials but increase was found as the process of transdifferentiation. At 21 day differentiated islet-like clusters were stained red by dithizone. In those samples exposed to a stimulatory 15 mmol/L glucose, there was a 1.6-fold increase in insulin compared with to 5.6 mmol/L glucose (P < 0.05). Pancreatic ductal cells of adult Kunming mice could proliferate quickly and have the potency of transdifferentiation into islet-like clusters when cultured in vitro under appropriate conditions.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of phosphocreatine treatment on left ventricular function and on amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level in elderly patients with chronic heart failure. Methods In our department, the 172 elderly patients with chronic heart failure were randomly divided into treatment group and control group (n= 86, each).The control group received routine anti-heart failure treatment. The treatment group received conventional therapy plus creatine phosphate sodium for 4 weeks. The cardiac function was evaluated and the NT-proBNP level was measured in all subjects. Results Four weeks after treatment, the improvements of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) were better in treatment group than in control group (all P＜0.05). The plasma NT-proBNP level decreased significantly in treatment group as compared with control group [before treatment: (956.4 ± 644.2) pmol/L and (973.6 ±639.8) pmol/L; after treatment: (414. 5 ± 163.8 ) pmol/L and ( 719.3 ± 477. 5 ) pmol/L, all P＜0. 05]. Conclusions Phosphocreatine could improve left ventricular function and decrease plasma NT-proBNP level in elderly patients with chronic heart failure.

Objective To determine the effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis spp. inducing transformation of THP-1 cells to epithelioid cells (EC) and the involved signaling pathways and their regulations. Methods THP-1 cells infection models respectively infected with M. tuberculosis strains H37Rv, bovis and phlei were established. Indirect immunofluorescent staining assays were used to detect the expressions of monocyte/macrophage differentiation antigen CD115 and EC differentiation antigen CD82 of the THP-1 cells before or after infection. By Sandwich ELISA Kits, the phosphorylation levels of p38MAPK, Akt1 and STAT3 of the THP-1 cells before or after infection were measured. The alterations of CD115 and CD82 expression levels were examined when the associated signaling pathways were blocked with specific blocking agents. Results CD115 expression was weakened and CD82 expression was strongly increased in all the THP-1 cells infected with the three strains. A temporal up-regulation of the p38MAPK phoshporylation level but no obvious alteration of Akt and STAT3 phosphorylation levels after THP-1 cells infected by strain H37Rv or bovis. The THP-1 cells infected with anyone of the three strains continuously expressed CD115 after MAPK, PI3K/Akt or JAK/STAT of the cells was blocked. Although JAK/STAT was blocked, the THP-1 cells respectively infected with the three different strains still expressed CD82. However, CD82 expressed in THP-1 cells infected by the strain H37Rv or bovis was disappeared when p38MAPK and PI3K/Akt pathways of the cells were blocked. Conclusion Strain H37Rv and bovis can induce the infected THP-1 cells transforming to EC and p38MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways participate and regulate the transformation procedure. Of the two signaling pathways p38MAPK seems to be more important.

With comparison of three different methods for the marking of amines compound, an optimal deri vatization method was selected.5-(2-Hydroxyethyl) benzoacridine (HBA) reacts with coupling agent N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole(CDI) to form an activated amide intermediate 2-(benzoacridin) ethyl-imidazole-1-carbox-ylate(BAEIC).BAEIC, which is dual-sensitive probe, reacts preferably with amino compounds at 80 ℃ in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine(DMAP) catalyst in N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF) solvent to give the corresponding sensitively fluorescent derivatives with an excitation maximum at λ_(ex) of 280 nm and an emis sion maximum at λ_(em) of 510 nm.BAEIC-amine derivatives simultaneously exhibited high ionization potential with percent ionization (changing from 5.62% to 58.08% in aqueous acetonitrile and from 2.14% to 56.58% in aqueous methanol.Derivatives were not only sensitive to fluorescence but also to MS ionizable potential.The fluorescence detection limits(5/iV = 3) were 0.12-0.59 μg/L.The online APCI-MS detection limits were 1.9-14 μg/L(S/N=5).

Objective：To explore the effect of group psychological service on mental health of the children left behind in rural areas.Methods：Totally 222 children left behind in rural areas were selected randomly and divided into intervention group and control group.The intervention group accepted 8 times of group psychological service.The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ),Center for Epidemiological Studies of Depression scale for Children(CES-DC),Rutter Children's Behavior questionnaire for completion by teacher,Piers-Harris Children `s Self-concept Scale(PHCSS)were used in both groups to evaluate the effect at baseline,the end of the 7th intervention,and 6 months after the end of the intervention.Results：After intervention,the intervention group got lower scores than control group in EPQ-N [(8.2±5.8)vs.(10.2±6.1),P<0.05]in the first retest,and in CES-DC [(15.9±7.3)vs.(18.8±7.7),P<0.05]in the second retest.The group gained higher scores in anxietyand happy and satisfaction factors of PHCSS [(6.6±3.4)vs.(5.6±2.7),(6.5±1.9)vs.(5.7±1.8);Ps<0.05]. Conclusion：Group psychological service are effective to children left behind in rural areas with depression emotion and had a role in children's personality remodeling.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of oxidized low-density lipoprotein ( ox-LDL) on autophagy in mac-rophages and the underlying molecular mechanisms.METHODS:RAW264.7 macrophages were pretreated with 2 mg/L anti-CD36 monoclonal antibody (anti-CD36 mAb), 5 μmol/L diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), 3 mmol/L 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or 1μmol/L rapamycin for 1 h and then treated with ox-LDL (100 mg/L) for 12 h.The viability of the cells was measured by MTT assay.The activities of lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH) in the medium and nicotinamide adenine dinucleoti-de phosphate ( NADPH) oxidase, superoxide dismutase ( SOD) in the cells as well as the levels of intracellular reactive ox-ygen species ( ROS) and malondialdehyde ( MDA) were determined to characterize the membrane integrity and the oxida-tive stress, respectively.The protein levels of beclin-1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II ( LC3-II) , 2 important molecular markers of autophagy, were examined by Western blotting.RESULTS:ox-LDL induced autophagy in
RAW264.7 macrophages as assessed by upregulation of beclin-1 and LC3-II.Similar to 3-MA, an autophagy inhibitor, an-ti-CD36 mAb significantly inhibited the ox-LDL-induced upregulation of beclin-1 and LC3-II.Anti-CD36 mAb suppressed the ox-LDL-induced oxidative stress as revealed by decreased NADPH oxidase activation, ROS and MDA generation as well as increased SOD activity.Similar results were observed in the cells pretreated with DPI, a NADPH oxidase inhibitor.Mo-reover, DPI significantly inhibited the ox-LDL-induced upregulation of beclin-1 and LC3-II.Inaddition, the decrease in the cell viability and increase in LDH release induced by ox-LDL were promoted by 3-MA and blocked by rapamycin ( an auto-phagy inducer).CONCLUSION: ox-LDL induces autophagy in RAW264.7 macrophages, which may be involved in CD36-mediated ox-LDL uptake and subsequent activation of oxidative stress, and moderate activation of autophagy may pro-tect macrophages from ox-LDL-induced injury.
