Objective To explore the protective effects and possible mechanisms of Polydatin (PD)on hypoxic-ischemia brain injury(HIBD) in neonatal rat by means of spatial learning memory and the expression of synaptophysin in hippocampal CA1. Methods Thirty-seven neonatal SD rats were divided into 3 groups at random: normal sham-operated group( no hypoxia and ischemia); HIBD group( no medication) ;PD treatment group. 7-old-day rat' s model of HIBD was established by left carotid artery ligation and 2 h hypoxia. Morris water maze test was used to evaluate cognitive function in the rats after 28-day-old( 21-day later after HI). Immunohistochemical method was used to measure the expression of synaptophysin after the end of Morris water maze test. Results Morris water maze results showed that the mean escape latency of the shamgroup (SG) ,HIBD group (HIBD) and PD treatment group (PD) were (39. 55 ±8. 08) s, (52. 37 ±8.03) s and (43.29 ± 7. 63 ) s respectirely. For PD and SG, the mean escape latency was significantly shorter than the HIBD (P <0.05). After training,the mean escape latency in the three groups of rats was shortened gradually. The frequency of platform crossings were 5. 29 ±2.62、2. 36 ± 1.80、4. 25 ± 1. 66 in the SG,HIBD and PD respectirely. The frequency of platform crossings in PD was higher than that of HIBD ( P < 0. 05 ). The swimming time in target quadrant were ( 15.74 ± 3.85) s, ( 10. 63 ± 3.66) s and ( 14. 32 ± 2. 52 ) s in SG, HIBD and PD respectirely. For HIBD ,the swimming time in target quadrant was significantly shorter comparing to SG and PD ( P < 0. 05 ). The expression of synaptophys in hippocampal CA1 in PD ( 0. 295 2 ± 0. 044 3 )were evidently higher than that in the HIBD group (0.261 2 ±0.032 3) at 3 week after operation (P <0. 05). Conclusion Spatial learning memory deficits and the decrease of synaptophys in hippocampal CA1 could be induced by hypoxic-ischemia. Polydatin could improve the learning and memory ability in neonatal rats following hypoxic-ischemia brain damage. The mechanisms of improvement with Polydatin treatment is associated with the enhancement of expression of synaptophys.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and possible mechanisms of polydatin(PD) on hypoxic-ischemia brain damage(HIBD) in neonatal rat by means of the expression of intercellular cell adhesion molecule( ICAM)-1 in cortex. Methods Fifty-four SD rats were divided into 3 groups at random, shame group (no HIBD), HIBD group (no medication) ,and PD treatment group. 7day-old rat's HIBD model was established by Rice's method. ICAM-1 expression in brain after HIBD was measured in different time by Immunohistochemitry technique. Results In sham group, there were less brain microvessel immunostained positively. In HIBD group,the number of ICAM-1 immuno-positive staining blood vessels increased significantly after 6h, 12h reached peak point. ICAM-1 immunoreactive staining of blood vessels levels continued in the peak after 24h. In PD treatment group, ICAM-1 expression on brain microvascular endothelial decreased after HIBD 6h, 12h, 24h, which was significant compared with HIBD group( P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01 separately). Conclusion The expression of ICAM-1 was involved in the procedure induced by hypoxic-ischemia. After HIBD, polydatin would downregulate ICAM-1 expression in cerebral microvascular endothelial, and inhibite the inflammatory response.

BACKGROUND: Based on the characteristics of cartilage tissue, such as consisting of single type of cells, the cartilage cells or chondrocyte, absence of blood vessel, rather low consumption level of oxygen and nutrition, low level of allo-immunocompetence and simple function in vivo, it seems to be easy for cartilage cell lines to be established for tissue and cell transplantation. We want to set up a cell line with the purpose of current use in tissue engineering in vitro. It will provide the basis for artificial tissue and organ that will become to be standardized and yielded in batch.OBJECTIVE: To explore the potential stimulatory effects of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) and insulin on the proliferation and differentiation in primary culture mice chondrocytes in vitro. The effect and application of the cell factors will be evaluated for tissue engineering.DESIGN: A grouping controlled and repeated trial was conducted with the cells as the subjects.SETTING: Key laboratory of tissue transplantation and immunology of a college.MATERIAIS: The experiment was completed in the Key Laboratory of Tissue Transplantation and Immunology of the Ministry of Education, Jinan University from November 2002 to May 2003. Cultured cartilage cells at random were obtained as the study objects.METHODS: Mice cartilage cells were cultured in medium at the minimum concentrations of serum. The effects of different concentration of bFGF and insulin on the proliferation and differentiation in mice cartilage cells were observed with WST1 and immunofluorescence staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary results: ① Effect of bFGF on proliferation of primary cultured mice cartilage cells. ② Effect of insulin on proliferation of primary cultured mice cartilage cells. Secondary results:morphological observation of cartilage cells RESULTS: Primary cultured mice cartilage cells were cultured in medium at the minimum concentration of serum(4 g/L fatal bovine serum). It was found that bFGF and insulin might play an important role on the proliferation and growth of mice cartilage cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, morphological observation of cartilage cells showed that both bFGF and insulin not only promoted the proliferation of the cells but also enhanced the matrix secretion of cartilage cells.CONCLUSION: Both bFGF and insulin can stimulate the proliferation of cartilage cells in vitro.
