Objective To explore the relationship between the spot size and the result of ploidy analysis in the detection technology based on single-particles, and to fix the scope of spot thickness on the basis of the experimental result.Methods The influence of spot thickness on voltage signals produced by single cells was analyzed.The parameters of the beam shap system in the incident field were designed and optimized on ZEMAX.Finally, according to the cells′diameter, the target size of spots was set.A set of spots of different thickness and of Gaussian distribution obtained from the optical experimental platform was used to conduct ploidy detection experiments.Results Target spots were both obtained from ZEMAX simulation and the optical platform.When the spot thickness was larger than both monocytes and coenocytes, the mean fluorescence intensity ratio was 2.03,which met the demand of the index.Conclusion When the height of the pulse is used to represent the fluorescence density, the relative size of spots and cells will affect the result of ploidy detection.Only when spot thickness is larger than cells is the ploidy ratio accurate.

OBJECTIVETo compare the changes of nucleus pulposus after in vitro culture of rabbit whole intervertebral disc and spinal motion segment.
METHODSTwenty-one New Zealand white rabbits which were randomly divided into organ group with 8 rabbits and segment group with 13 rabbits. Fifty intervertebral discs and 50 spinal motion segments were harvested respectively under aseptic conditions from two groups. These specimens were maintained in organ culture with hyperosmotic media (410 mOsm/kg), then 10 discs of the two groups were observed respectively by HE staining, immunohistochemistry of collagen type III, proteoglycan content and cells viability of nucleus pulposus before culture and at 3, 7, 14, 21 days after culture.
RESULTSHE staining showed the intervertebral disc tissue structure remained intact after culture of 21 days organ group and 14 days segment group,but there was severely degenerated of 21 days segment group. The intensity value of type II collagen immunohistochemical staining in the nucleus pulposus were not changed significantly between 21 days organ group and 14 days segment group (P > 0.05), but the staining of segment group at 21 days became shallower, there was significant difference compared with before each time points and organ group at 21 days (P < 0.05). PAS/AB staining of proteoglycan of nucleus pulposus showed that there were not decrease of tinting strength of two groups within 7 days, but the strength weakened slightly of two groups at 14 days, and the tinting strength became weaker at 21 days segment group, the change is more obvious than the organ group. The intensity value of fluorescence staining of nucleus pulposus cells was not changed significantly within 7 days of two groups (P > 0.05), the intensity value decreased slightly at 21 days organ group and 14 days segment group, but there were no significant difference compared with before time points (P > 0.05) however at 21 days segment group the intensity decreased as cells viability of nucleus pulposus decreased,and there was a significant difference compared with before each time points and organ group at 21 days (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONIt is not obviously degenerated of the discs of organ group cultured within 21 days and segment group cultured within 14 days, but there was significant degeneration of the intervertebral disc of segment group after cultured 21 days, so the rabbit spinal motion segment can be used on research about the biomechanics of intervertebral disc as a vitro experimental model within 14 days.

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and safety of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC)in treatment of aplastic anemia(AA). MethodsTwenty-two patients with aplastic anemia were enrolled with median age of 31 (12-70) years old,including 11 severe aplastic anemia (SAA),and 3 of whom were cyclosporine and anti-thymocyte globulin-resistant. BMSC were isolated from bone marrow of healthy donors and cultured.The third to fifth generation cells were administered intravenously in 1×106/kg to patients once or twice a week.After infusion,complete blood count,bone marrow aspiration,bone marrow biopsy,flow cytometry analysis of lymphocyte subsets of CD3+ CD4+ and CD3+ CD8+ and clinical symptoms were involved in outcome measurement.ResultsAll patients finished 16-time median (5-83 times) infusions of BMSC with 13-month median (2-33 months) treatment course and 23-month median (2-34 months) follow-up.The total response rate was 72.7 %(16/22), including one patient with essential cure, 9 with remission, 3 with remarkably improvement and 3 with transfusion interval extension.Two of three front-line immunosuppressiveresistant SAA patients achieved remission. Ten of 14 patients recovered from inverted ratio of CD4+/C8+ cells after BMSC treatment. There were no treatment-related side effects observed in the course of treatment.ConclusionBMSC are effective and safe for the treatment of AA in our preliminary study and they deserve further research with larger-scale and long-term clinical trials.

Objective To characterize the clinical features of patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA).Methods Totally 42 patients with CA admitted to Guangdong General Hospital since 2008 were included and retrospectively analyzed in the present study.CA was confirmed by abdomen and endocardium biopsy examination.Clinical manifestations,electrocardiogram and echocardiography were collected for the evaluation.Results Several clinic features are common in CA.In the present study,37 cases (88.1%) presented with chest tightness,dyspnea,20 cases(47.6%) with chest pain,27 cases(64.3%) with right heart failure,27 cases (64.3%) with fatigue,and 30 cases (71.4%) with renal insufficiency and proteinuria.Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed that 32 of the patients (76.2%) were with low voltage in limb leads,29 cases (69%) of them were with poor R wave progression in precordial leads,17 cases (40.5%) with ST-T change,28 cases(66.7%) with pseudo-necrotic Q wave and 36 cases (85.7%) with various kinds of arrhythmia.Echocardiography indicated that all of the subjects (100%) were with different degrees of left ventricular posterior wall or ventricular septal thickness,and left atrial hypertrophy with different degree of myocardial grain appearance or ground-glass opacity.Thirty-six cases (85.7%) were with pericardial effusion,and 27 cases (64.3%) were with abnormal left ventricular eject function.Conclusion For those who were with unexplained clinical cardiac insufficiency,renal insufficiency,myocardial hypertrophy,but normal of ventricular size in echocardiography and low voltage on ECG limb leads,a tissue biopsy from abdomen,labial glands or endocardium should be considered in the diagnosis of CA.

This article firstly established a new efficient method for screening anti-osteoporosis ingredients, which used two-dimensional zebrafish model combined with hyphenated chromatographic techniques to evaluate anti-osteoporosis activities of epimedin A and its metabolite baohuoside I. Adult zebrafish was used for metabolism of epimedin A in 0.5% DMSO, and LC-MS was used for analysis of the metabolite, which was captured by HPLC, and prednisolone-induced osteoporosis model of zebrafish was used to evaluate the anti-osteoporotic activities of trace amounts of epimedin A and baohuoside I. The results indicated that epimedin A and baohuoside I can prevent prednisolone-induced osteoporosis in zebrafish. The developed method in this paper enables the separation, enrichment and analysis of micro-amount metabolite of epimedin A, and anti-osteoporosis activities in vivo of epimedin A and baohuoside I was simple and efficient screening resorting to zebrafish osteoporosis mode. This paper would provide new ideas and methods for a rapid and early discovery of anti-osteoporosis activities of micro-ingredients and its metabolite of traditional Chinese medicine.

The chemical structures of P1 A was identified by complete acid hydrolysis, partial acid hydrolysis, periodate oxidation-Smith degradation, methylation analysis, IR and NMR. The results showed that P1 A had a backbone consisting rhamnose, mannose, glucose and galactose. The side chain possessed arabinose and xylose. 1-->, 1-->6 and non-reducing terminal linkages existed in polysaccharide P1A, but there are doubling amount of 1-->2 and 1-->4 linkages. Oxidable linkage of P1 A accounted for 45%, and inoxidable linkage of P1A accounted for 55%. Mannose, glucose and galactose were mainly linked by 1-->2 linkage. Rhamnose, arabinose and xylose were mainly linked by 1-->2 and 1-->4 linkages. PlA contained beta-Glc(1,6)-,beta-Gal(1,3)-,beta-Man(1,4)-beta-Rha,-Glc(1,4)-, Glc(1)-,-Gal(1,4)- and Man(1)-.
