Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(02):-
Thirty New Zealand albino rabbits of both sexes were used for the experi-ments which was (1) To observe the febrile response induced by microinjection of TNFinto the lateral ventricle; (2) To measure the PGE_2 & cAMP contents of the plasma andcerebrospinal fluid. The results showed that injection of TNF (50ng/each) into the lateralventricle did induce a definite raise of body temperature (T=0.79?0.14℃). The PGE_2concentration increased markedly in c. s. f. while that in plasma remain unchanged ascompared with the control. However cAMP lever in both, plasma and c. s. f. had nochange. These results suggested that (1) The injection of TNF into the lateral ventriclecaused a raise in PGE_2 synthesis in the brain while there was no alterations of PGE_2found in peripheral blood (2) The increase in PGE_2 didn't followed by an increase incAMP which indicated that the fever induced by TNF must have a different mechanismfrom that induced by leucocyte pyrogent (LP or In-1). PGE_2 might be involved in thefever inducing mechanism but these results don't support the hypothersis that the raiseof PGE_2 level may increase the cAMP content which in turn reduced the fever.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and assess the computer-assisted fabricated individual titanium mesh technique applied for reconstruction of fractured orbital walls to correct post-traumatic enophthalmus and diplopia. Methods: Twenty patients (12 males and 8 females) were inclu-ded in this study. All of patients suffered from unilateral impure orbital fractures. Group A included 8 patients who were reconstructed for the fractured orbit with computer-assisted fabricated titanium mesh technique. Group B had 12 patients treated with traditional methods (titanium meshes in 2, autogenous bone grafts in 7 and Medpor implantation in 3). CT data of group A was input into a image software to rebuild a 3-D orbit and then mirror the unaffected side onto the affected side to replace the demolished orbit. A resin model of the reshaped orbit was then produced and was used to develop custom-fabricated titanium mesh for repair of the fractured orbital wall. The fabricated mesh was used in operation to reconstruct the orbital wall. Treatment was assessed in comparison with traditional way by means of clinical examinations and CT measurements. Results: The difference between pre-operative and post-operative enophthalmos: the mean value of group A was 2.6 mm, group B was 2.0 mm;the difference between the pre-operative and post-operative enlargement volume of traumatic orbit: the mean value of group A was 4.3 mL, group B was 3.7 mL; Index of Medial orbital wall of both groups was 100% and Index of inferior wall reconstruction of group A was 84.7%, group B was 53.3%; The mean depth of implants of group A was 31.2 mm, of group B was 28.3 mm; Improvement of diplopia of group A was 1.5 quadrants, that of group B was 1 quadrant. There were no infection, gaze restriction, or graft extrusion in all patients after operation. Conclusion: Computer-assisted fabricated titanium mesh technique could provide more accurate orbital reconstruction and improve the correction of enophthalmus and diplopia.

BACKGROUND: Within the bone marrow stroma there exists a subset of non-hematopoietic stem cells referred to as marrow stromal cells or mesenchymal stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a group of cells with highly capability of self-renew and potential of multilineage differentiation, these properties make them present a promising prospect for clinical practice. Of particular concern is hepatogenic potential that can be used for liver-directed stem cell therapy and transplantation. However, the culture system has not been developed.OBJECTIVE: To explore whether human MSCs are able to differentiate into functional hepatocyte-like cells with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in vitro.DESIGN : Open study.SETTING: Department of Infectious Disease and Institute of Urology Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital, Nanchang University.MATERIALS: The study was performed in the Institute of Urolgoy Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from July 2004 to March 2005. Bone marrow was donated by healthy adult with informed consent. DMEM/F12 medium (Gibco); insulin, transferrin, human epidermal growth factor (EGF); human HGF; monoclonal antibodies against human AFP; FITC-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse IgG (Sigma); human bFGF (Invitrogen); monoclonal antibodies against human CK18 and CK19 (Chemicon); fetal bovine serum (Si jiqin, Hangzhou).METHODS: Bone marrow (10 mL) in this study was aspirated from the iliac crest of healthy donors. MSCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation in combination with plastic adherence. For hepatic differentiation, the 4th- to 8th-passage human MSCs seeded on 24-well tissue culture plates coated with 0.1% gelatin, at 1×104 MSCs/mL, were serum deprived for 2 days, in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10 μg/L EGF, 10 μg/L bFGF, 5 mg/L insulin and 5 mg/L transferrin. Differentiation was induced by treating MSCs with differentiation medium, consisting of DMEWF12 supplemented with 10 μg/L bFGF, 20 μg/L HGF, 5 mg/L insulin, 5 mg/L transferrin. Medium changes were performed every three days. MSCs without HGF and bFGF in medium served as the control. In the differentiating period, the concentration of AFP in the suernatant was determined dynamically by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The hepatic surface phenotype including AFP, CK18 and CK19 were identified by immunofluorescent staining at day 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28. Glycogen storage was detected by Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① the morphological changes of induced MSCs; ② the concentration of AFP in the supernatant; ③ the hepatic surface phenotype; ④ glycogen storage.RESULTS: ① After 14 days ofinduction, the fibroblast-like morphology of human MSCs was lost and cells became broadened and fiattened. After prolonged culture, polygonal cells were seen and further matured hepatocyte-like colonies were seen by day 28. ② The concentration of AFP in the supernatant was first detected on day 14, at a concentration of 0.1 μg/mL, and increased to 0.4 μg/mL by day 17, then decreased to 0.3 μg/mL by day 21. ③ Immunofiuorescent staining showed the expression of AFP and CK18 until day 14. The expression of CK19 was detected by day 28. ④ Glycogen storage could be detected by day 21.CONCLUSION: Human bone marrow MSCs are able to differentiate into functional hepatocyte-like cells and may sere as a new source of cells for cell therapy of hepatic diseases.
