Adult chondrocytes had been used as seed cells in the previous tissue engineering; however, they possess the weaknesses including the limited proliferative capability in vitro and the liability to aging after amplification. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are multipotent cells, which can differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. It is of great importance to study the regulation and control of BMSC directed induction because directed differentiation is required in the tissue engineering. During the BMSC differentiation towards chondrocytes, serious kinds of biological inducing factors participate in precise induction as signal factors. The physical factors, such as biomechanical strength and ultrasound, have been shown to be involved in the regulation of BMSC differentiation towards chondrocytes. In terms of tissue repair, apart from biological factors which play an important role in the formation of cartilage tissue, the chondrocyte microenvironment in vivo is indispensable. Bioreactor is a kind of device intended for in vitro tissue culture that incubates the cells or tissues taken from living bodies in simulated physiological environment in vivo. On the basis of original cell culture, the present bioreactors apply biomechanical stimulation to simulate the stressed environment of articular cartilage in vivo.

Recent studies reported that thymoquinone (TQ), a component derived from the medicinal spice Nigella sativa (also called black cumin), exhibited inhibitory effects on cell proliferation of many cancer cell lines. This study was performed to investigate the anti-metastatic effect of thymoquinone on the pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that thymoquinone suppressed the migration and invasion of Panc-1 cells in a does-dependent manner. To investigate the possible mechanisms involved in these events, Western blotting analysis was performed, and found that thymoquinone significantly down-regulates NF-kappaB and MMP-9 in Panc-1 cells. In addition, metastatic model simulating human pancreatic cancer was established by orthotropic implantation of histologically intact pancreatic tumor tissue into the pancreatic wall of nude mice. And administration of thymoquinone significantly reduced tumor metastasis compared to untreated control. Furthermore, the expression of NF-kappaB and MMP-9 in tumor tissues was also suppressed after treatment with thymoquinone. Taken together, the results indicate that thymoquinone exerts anti-metastatic activity on pancreatic cancer both in vitro and in vivo, which may be related to down-regulation of NF-kappaB and its regulated molecules such as MMP-9 protein. Consequently, these results provide important insights into thymoquinone as an antimetastatic agent for the treatment of human pancreatic cancer.

Objective: To study the preventive effect of lycopene (LP) on hyperglycemia in alloxan-induced diabetic rats, and reveal its possible mechanism.Method:Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 5 groups:three groups of LP at doses of 5, 20, 50 mg(/kg bw ?d)for 15d, one control group and one model group of salad oil. Then alloxan (ALx) were injected intraperitoneally to the rats at dose of 150 mg/kg bw. At D4 and D14 after ALx injection, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed and body weight was measured, and at D14 GSP, FINS, NEFA, SOD,GSH-Px and MDA in liver were also determined . Results:Compared with the indices in group with ALX injection only,both the 2h blood glucose and GSP in group with medium-dose LP decreased significantly(P

Objective To detect the effects of exenatide on the related indicators of proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of cell line SCC-25. Methods SCC-25 cells were cultured in vitro. The expression level of glucagon like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) was determined by Western blot assay in SCC-25 cells. SCC-25 cells were divided into four groups:control group and exenatide group (1,10 and 100 nmol/L). The ability of cell proliferation was detected using MTT assay after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h of culture. The ability of invasion was measured with Transwell assays. The expression levels of MMP-2, Caspase-3 and Phospho-p38 MAPK were measured by Western blot assay. Results GLP-1 receptor expression was found in SCC-25 cells. Compared with control group, the cell survival rate, invasion rate and the expression of MMP-2 were significantly decreased in SCC-25 group (P＜0.05). The expression of Caspase-3 were significantly increased (P＜0.05).Changes were in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner (P＜0.05). The expression of Phospho-p38 MAPK was significantly increased at 24 h in 10 nmol/L exenatide group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Exenatide can inhibit the cell proliferation and invasion, which may contribute the apoptosis by promoting expressions of Phospho-p38 MAPK and Caspase-3 of SCC-25 cells.

Objective　To establish animal model for hypertrophic scar and study the characters of its morphology and collagen metabolism. Methods　A total of 64 round wounds (diameter of 6 mm each) with total skin loss were made on the ventral side of rabbit ear using a trephine. Morphology and collagen metabolism of scar wounds were studied at 14,21,35,70 and 98 days after operation, respectively. Results　There were 76% elevated scars developed (45/59 wounds) on the ventral side of rabbit ear at 21 days and 46% elevated scars disappeared (11/24) at 98 days after operation. There were numerous fibroblast proliferation and whorl-arranged collagen fibers at 21 and 35 days. The number of fibroblast decreased, but irregular-arranged fibers still presented in the elevated scars at 70 and 98 days after operation. Hydroxyproline content in elevated scars at 21 days was higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05), and at 35 days was 3 times as that in normal skin and at 98 days was also markedly higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05). Conclusion　Excessive deposition of collagen is a characteristic of hypertrophic scar in rabbits. The conversion of normal scarring to hypertrophic scarring in rabbits occurs at 14～21 days after operation. Both development and regression of hypertrophic scar in rabbit are quicker than that in human.

Mycoepoxydiene is a novel antitumor agent extracted from marine lignicolous fungi HLY-2, which is Diaporthe phaseolorum by molecule identification. The medium optimization for mycoepoxydiene by orthogonal design and the comparison of submerged fermentation and solid state fermentation were studied. The rusult is that the maximal yield of the compound is 543mg/L, which is 43 times compared to the customary half-seawater PD medium and 15 times to the best submerged condition. This optimum culture medium included potato 250g/L, seawater 300mL/L, glucose 30g/L, lactose 50g/L, KH_ 2 PO_ 4 0.65mmol/L and (NH_ 4 )_ 2 SO_ 4 1g/L in the solid state condition. Differentiation analysis between submerged and solid state fermentation, and antitumor activity of these ferment products were also studied. The antitumor activity of products of the optimum medium approached the pure compound.

Objective AIM:To study whether the RWD containing sumoylation enhancer (RSUME) enhanced small ubiquitin related modifiers (SUMO) to competitively inhibit Ubiquitin B (UBB)-mediated degradation of hypoxia hypoxia-inducible factor 1α.(HIF-1α) and the invasive pituitary adenomas.Methods The expression of protein and mRNA levels of RSUME,SUMO-1,UBB and HIF-1α were detected by using immunohistochemistry,western blot and qPCR in 38 cases of non-invasive pituitary adenoma,38 cases of invasive pituitary adenomas and 10 cases of normal pituitary capsule.The expression of SUMO-1 was analyzed in different types of pituitary adenomas.Results The protein,and mRNA levels of RSUME,SUMO-HIF-1αwere significantly higher in the invasive pituitary adenomas than in the non-invasive pituitary adenomas and normal pituitary capsule (P＜0.01).The protein and mRNA levels of RSUME,SUMO-HIF-1αwas higher in non-invasive pituitary adenomas than in normal pituitary capsule(P＜0.01).However,the protein levels of UBB-HIF-1α were significantly lower in the invasive pituitary adenomas than in the non-invasive pituitary adenomas and normal pituitary capsule (P＜0.01).The protein of UBB-HIF-1α were lower in non-invasive pituitary adenomas than in normal pituitary capsule (P＜0.01).The expression levels of SUMO were not significantly different among different types of pituitary adenomas (P＞0.05).Conclusion RSUM may increase pituitary adenomas angiogenesis and promote tumor invasion through enhancement of SUMO of HIF-1α which competitively inhibits ubiquitination of HIF-1 α.

Objective: Asphyxia and ventricular fibrillation are the two most prevalent causes of cardiac arrest. The study investigated the differences in brain damage after cardiac arrest between asphyxial and ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrests in rats. Methods: Male healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to the asphyxial group (cardiac arrest of 6 min, n=15), ventricular fibrillation group (cardiac arrest of 6 min, n=15) and sham group (n=5). Neurologic deficit scores and tape removal test were evaluated at 1, 3 and 7 days after cardiopulmonary resuscitation from three groups. Serum S-100B and brain histopathologic damage scores were also examined. Results: There were no differences in neurologic performance at 1, 3 and 7 days after cardiopulmonary resuscitation between the asphyxial group and ventricular fibrillation group (P>0.05, respectively). Serum S-100B level was higher in the asphyxial group at 1, 3 and 7 days, compared with the ventricular fibrillation group (P<0.05, respectively). There were significantly higher histopathologic damage scores at 1, 3 and 7 days in the asphyxial group compared with the ventricular fibrillation group (P<0.05, respectively). Conclusion: Asphyxial cardiac arrest has worse morphologic brain damage compared with ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest, but the functional brain damage caused by asphyxial cardiac arrest is similar to that caused by ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest.
