In order to investigate effect of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) on the prolifiration and differentiation of theneural progenitor of embryonic hippocampus of rats in vitro, 25 ng/ml bFGF was employed into the serum-free medium of cultureof hippocampal neural cells of embryonic day 18 rats in the present study. The effect of bFGF on the viability of cells culturedwas detected by MTT colorimetric method and the effects of bFGF on proliferation and differentiation of hippocampal neural pro-genitors were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by means of immunochemistry, for the nestin, neurofilament, galactocere-broside and glial acidic fibrillary protein. The results showed that the OD value of experimental group was higher than that ofcontrol group by 1.5 and 1.8 times at 4 d and 8 d respectively. The quantitative analysis of each kinds of cells indicated that thenumber of neural progenitors, neurons and oligodendrocytes in experimental group were increased about 2 times as many as thatin control group, but no differences of astrocytes between the two groups at 4 d. However, the number of four kinds of cells aug-mented about 1.7 times at 8 d. The results of this study suggest that bFGF can not only promote the survival, proliferation, butalso facilitate the differentiation of neural progenitor of hippocampus to neurons and glial cells. To obtain more many purifiedneural progenitors in vitro, the embryonic day 18 is not an appropriate age. It is better to get younger embryo brain to culture and to add enough bFGF.

Objective To explore whether the neural stem cells(NSCs) can act directly as a gene target cell which can be infected by the recombinant retrovirus and express the products of exogenous genes after infection. Methods The NSCs were cultured with supernatant containing the recombinant retroviruses with the genes of NGF or GDNF for two days.After screened with G418,the infected NSC were expanded at the present of bFGF in culture.The PC12 cells and the neurons of ventral midbrain of rat were cultured by the medium from the infected NSC,which were called as GDNF\|containing conditioned medium NGF or GDNF\|containing conditioned medium the morphological changes of the dopamine neurons of the ventral midbrain and expression of exogenous genes of the infected NSCs were detected by immunohistochemistry staining. Results It was estimated that about fifty percent of NSCs via retrovirus\|mediated NGF or GDNF gene transduction were G418\|resistant.These infected NSCs began to differentiate.Long and radical processes reached out from the sphere of proliferation and the cells migrated towards outside along the processes.The NSC infected with gene of NGF showed an astroid\|shape with larger body and processes.The NSC infected with gene of GDNF showed a shuttle\|shape with a smaller body and long processes.The PC12 cells increased in the NGF\|containing conditioned medium and stretched out long neurites.The dopamine neuron of the ventral midbrain which were immunoreactive for TH also showed a larger body and longer processes in the GDNF\|containing conditioned medium.Most of G418\|resistant NSCs were immunoreactive for NGF or GDNF. Conclusion NSC can act directly as a gene target cell which not only be infected by the recombinant retrovirus,but also express and secrete the products of exogenous genes.

Objective: To study the antihyperglycemic effect of flavonoids from seed (FSH) and fruit(FFH) of Hippophae rhamnoides L.on diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Methods: The STZ-induced diabetic rats were randomly divided into four groups and were given intragastrically (ig) water, metformin, FSH and FFH respectively once a day. After four weeks, the levels of serum glucose, fructosamine, lipid, protein, GSH and lactic acid (LD) were assayed. Results: FSH could reduce the levels of serum glucose, fructosamine and triglyceride significantly, increase the contents of serum total protein and albumin obviously, enhance the ability of antioxidation in STZ-induced diabetic rats. FSH also could decrease food and water intake of diabetic rats evidently. But FSH had little effect on LD, LDH, glycogen and body weight in diabetic rats. FFH was not as good as FSH. Conclusion: FSH is antihyperglycemic , and can improve the metabolic derangements of STZ- induced diabetic rats.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations, imaging features, histopathological features, diagnostic pitfalls, treatment and prognosis of clear cell chondrosarcoma (CCCS).Methods:23 cases of CCCS admitted and operated from January 2010 to January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Among the 23 cases, 21 were males and 2 were females. There were 8 cases (35%) aged 21-40, 10 cases (43%) aged 41-60 and 5 cases (23%) aged 61-80. There were 8 femurs, 7 pelvis, 4 thoracolumbar spine, 3 sacrum and 1 tibia. The specimens were fixed with 10% phosphate-buffered formalin, decalcified with 5% nitric acid, embedded in paraffin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and immunohistochemistry (Envision). The preoperative imaging and clinical symptoms, and the postoperative histopathological and immunophenotype under the microscope were collected. And the relevant literature was reviewed to summarize the clinical, imaging and pathomorphological characteristics of CCCS.Results:23 cases of CCCS showed bone destruction in imaging, some cases were well-circumscribed lytic lesions, some cases had sclerotic margin. The serum alkaline phosphatase was increased in 7 patients before operation. The tumor tissue was gray-white and gray-red in general and some cases showed porcelain white cartilage-like areas. Microscopically, the tumor cells are round or polygonal, some of them have clear cytoplasm and boundary, some of them are eosinophilic, some of them have round and centrally located nuclei, and mitotic image is rare. It is often seen that there are nodular distribution of cartilage-like matrix and immature woven bone, multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cell scattered in those components. Immunohistochemical staining: S-100, D2-40, EMA, Vimentin, p16, SATB2 can be positive in varying degrees. The surgical treatment is mainly through en bloc excision. 10 patients had recurrence and no distant metastasis.Conclusion:CCCS is a rare subtype of chondrosarcoma, which has low-grade malignant biological behavior and is easy to be misdiagnosed clinically and pathologically. Pathological diagnosis needs to be careful. Careful observation of microscopic histology is necessary in order to avoid over-diagnosis of osteosarcoma leading to clinical treatment errors. Once the biopsy is confirmed, it needs en bloc excision in order to reduce the recurrence rate. Long-term follow-up is needed after the operation, the overall prognosis was good.
