1.Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor for Focal Cerebral Ischemic Injury
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2008;16(8):600-603
Granulocyte colony stimulating factor(G-CSF)can mobilize hemopoietic stem cells(HSCs)from bone marrow to peripheral circulation,stimulating HSCs and marrow stromal cells(MSCs)homing to the lesion of cerebral ischemia,contributing to the interactions of HSCs and MSCs with the cells in ischemic penumbra,and promoting the generation of neurotrophic factors.G-CSF also has antiapoptotic effect on neurons and drives neurogenesis.Mobilizing autologous HSCs and MSCs using G-CSF for the treatment of local cerebral ischemic injury may reduce the volume of cerebral infarction,and improve neurological functional recovery.

Objective: To explore the application of high hydrostatic pressure in the development of melanoma vaccine.Methods:The high hydrostatic pressure,liquid nitrogen freezing and thawing were used to break the murine B16 melanoma cells and then the cell suspension was mixed with Freund's adjuvant to prepare vaccine for immunizing the mice.Results:After immu-nization,the murine B16 melanoma cells were injected intravenously and subcutaneously.The immune results of the vaccines were evaluated,by comparing survival time of the mice, subcutaneous tumor volume, DTH experiments and the fluorescence imaging of tumors.Conclusion:Compared with the method of liquid nitrogen freeze-thaw broken,high hydrostatic pressure crushing cells has more advantages in the development of tumor vaccine.
