Background Marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been successful induced to differentiate into corneal cells,retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and retinal neuron-like cells in recent years,but there are few studies about MSCs induced into photoreceptor cells and their microenvironment.Objective The aim of this study was to explore the induce and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) into photoreceptor-like cells in vitro and microenvironment.Methods The second generation of human BMSCs strain and RPE cells strain were cultured and passaged,respectively,and the fourth generation of BMSCs and the third generation of RPE cells were used in the experiment.BMSCs were cocultured using the mesenchymal stem cells medium (MSCM) contained 20 μg/L basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF),20 μg/L epithelial growth factor (EGF)and 20 μg/L brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) with RPE cells to induce the differentiation of BMSCs in the induced group,and BMSCs were cultured in MSCM only in the control group.The morphology of induced and differentiated cells were observed under the inverted microscope.Inmmunocytochemistry was used in induced for 3-,5-,7-day cells to detect the expression rate of rhodopsin protein for the identification of phenotype of the differentiated cells.RT-PCR was used in induced for 5-,7-day cells to detect the expressions of rhodopsin mRNA and recoverin mRNA.Results Cultured BMSCs grew well with the spindle shape,and passaged RPE cells showed the uniform size and polygon shape with the abundant pigment in the cells.Some induced cells appeared to be the neuron-like cells with round shape and long prominence and the secondary reticular branches.The expression rates of rhodopsinin the cells were (5.83±0.29)％,(20.36±0.32)％ and (29.80±2.30)％ in the third,fifth and seventh day after induce,which were significantly higher than (0.71 ±0.35) ％,(2.56±0.24) ％ and (2.32±0.42) ％ of control cells (t3 d =41.510,t5d =107.290,t7 d =30.036,P＜0.01).The grey scales of rhodopsin mRNA and recoverin mRNA were significantly elevated in the induced and differentiated cells compared with control cells in the fifth and seventh day (rhodopsin mRNA:t5 d =103.506,t7 d =122.584,P＜0.01 ; recoverin mRNA:t5 d =106.674,t7 d =189.992,P＜0.01).Conclusions BMSCs can be successfully induced to differentiate into photoreceptor cells after cocultured by conditioned medium with RPE cells.

Objective:To analyze identify method of mild cognitive impairment. Methods:The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Chinese Revised (WAIS-RC) and Wechsler Memory Scale-Chinese Revised (WMS-RC) were examined in 150 patients with memory complaints. 63 individuals whose intelligence quotient (IQ) and memory quotient (MQ) over 85 were designated as normal elderly group;and 33 individuals whose IQ scores over 85 and MQ score between 70 and 84 as mild cognitive impairment(MCI-1) group; and 25 individuals whose IQ scores over 85 and MQ scores between 55 and 69 as MCI-2 group; 29 individuals whose IQ scores and MQ scores less than 85 and conformed with DSM-Ⅳ as Alzheimer disease group.Results: Picture short memory and mental control (B)showed the highest identification between the 2 MCI groups and normal elderly group. Besides, visual reproduction played an important role in mild memory decline (MCI-1) group. Tactile memory, logical memory and associated learning played an important role in moderate memory decline (MCI-2) group.Conclusion: Picture short memory and mental control (B) contribute to identify MCI speedily and effectively.

Objective:To assess clinical validity of the Chinese version of Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (DRS) in differentiating dementia of Alzheimer type (AD). Methods:Administered the DRS, mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical dementia rating(CDR) to 61 outpatients with AD and 104 healthy elderly subjects in Shanghai.Results:There was significant correlation between DRS and the total score,and DRS and MMSE.DRS of the AD group had significant correlation with CDR.Its significant correlation with CDR suggested satisfactory concurrent validity of the scale. The optimal DRS cutoff score for AD according to education level revealed a sensitivity of 85%～94% and a specificity of 90%～94%.Conclusion:The DRS is a clinically valid test for the detection of AD and its severity of cognitive impairment.

Objectives To compare the efficiency and clearance of single dose low molecular weight heparin(LMWH) as anticoagulant in hemodiafiltration and hemodialysis.Methods Twenty-two patients were enrolled in the study.A single injection of LMWH(Nadroparin calcium 7500ICUAXa) was given before hemodiafiltration and hemodialysis respectively.The anti-factor-Xa activity and the activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) in plasma were assayed during the treatment,and the dialyzer coagulation was observed.The changes of urea and serum creatinine were measured before and after the treatment.Results The anti-factor-Xa activity of LMWH during hemodiafiltration was lower than that during hemodialysis.However,there was no significant difference in APTT between the two groups.Conclusions A single bolus injection of Nadroparin provides a simple and effective anticoagulation regimen for hemodiafiltration lasting up to four hours.

Objective To explore the expression and the role of Toll-like receptor(TLR3 and TLR4) in rats with nephrotic syndrome induced by respiratory syncytial virus(RSV).Methods SD rats were inoculated intranasally and intraperitoneally with 6?106 plaque for-ming unit(PFU) RSV to construct RSV-induced nephropathy in rat model.Rats were anesthetized and blood was withdrawn from cardiac on day 4,14,30,60 after inoculation.The normal ones without intervention were set as control group.The renal histology was observed by light microscope and electron microscope.The urinary protein collected in 24 hours were measured.Meanwhile,the expressions of TLR3 and TLR4 were detected by indirect immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of rats.The results were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 softwore.Results After inoculation,the proteinuria increased and under the electron microscope the foot processes of glomerular epithelial cells were fused which resembled human minimal change nephrotic syndrome.Proteinuria reached the peak and the fusion of foot processes were most extensive in rats of RSV at 60 d.The expressions of TLR3 and TLR4 in each group of RSV-induced nephropathy in rat models were significantly higher than those in normal control group(Pa0.05).Conclusions TLR3 and TLR4 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of RSV-induced nephropathy rat mo-dels had being significantly activated until 60 d after RSV inoculation.TLR signaling pathway may play an important role in nephrotic syndrome of rats induced by RSV.

Objective To explore relationship between imaging classification and pathological type,and the electron microscopic ultrastructure by observing the ultrastructural features of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM).Methods Children with CCAM in the Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from May 2014 to November 2014,were analyzed,imaging classification was performed according to enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) scanning,and the surgical specimens were stained by HE and scanning electron microscope was used to observe the tissue structures of various of CCAM.Results Eight cases were enrolled in this research (5 boys and 3 girls),and the mean age of surgery was (5.4 ± 1.1) month old.According to the features of enhanced CT scanning,there were 2 cases of the type-Ⅰ,and the other 3 cases of type-Ⅱ,and 3 cases of type-Ⅲ;According to the characteristics of the pathological types,there was 1 case of type-Ⅰ,4 cases of type-Ⅱ,and the other 3 cases of type-Ⅲ.There was 1 case which classified as type-Ⅰ by CT,however classified as type-Ⅱ by pathological typing.The findings of CT features were in complete correspondence with the pathological types in the rest cases.Electron microscopic findings showed the alveolar spaces were enlarged,the alveolar cells were reduced,the lamellar bodies were decreased and immature and microvilli were also decreased.There was no significant difference between Ⅰ and Ⅱ type under the viewpoint of electron microscope.The common features between type Ⅰ,and type Ⅱ included that the alveolar space was enlarged,the alveolar space had been pressed between enlarged alveolar space,the alveolar cell were decreased and immature,and fibrous hypertrophy was also found.Conclusions There are differences between ultrastructural analysis and clinical pathological typing which suggests the clinical importance of the electron microscopy ultrastructural analysis combined with pathology for typing.There need further clinical and laboratory studies,especially the combination of microscopy-electrical control microscope for typing with related predictive models for follow-up of CCAM.
