Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2009;8(1):36-39
Objective To investigate changes in indicators related to inflammatory cytokines, coagulation and fibrinolysis system in patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) resulted from sepsis. Methods In total, 97 patients diagnosed as sepsis were divided into different groups and their plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tissue factor (TF) and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) were measured by ELISA and plasma activity of protein C (PC:A) was measured by chromogenic substrate assay. Results Plasma concentrations of TNF-α and I L-6 were (38 ± 12) ng/L and (77 ± 9) ng/L, respectively, in patients of sepsis complicated with DIC, much higher than those without DIC [ ( 17±6) ng/L and (45 ± 6), respectively], P <0.05;and (63±25) ng/L and (103±28) ng/L, respectively, in those complicated with MODS, significantly higher than in those without MODS [ (29 ± 7 ) ng/L and (48±9)ng/L, respectively], P < 0/05 and those without DIC [( 17 ± 6) ng/L and (45 ± 6) ng/L, respectively], P <0. 05;as well as significantly higher in the dead than in survivors (P <0. 05). Plasma activity of protein C was (32 ± 10) percent in those with DIC and (24 ± 12) percent in those with MODS, both significantly lower than in those without DIC [ (57±28) percent] and without MODS [ (55 ± 17) percent], respectively, P <0. 05, as well as significantly lower in the dead than in survivors, P <0. 05. Plasma concentrations of t-PA and PAI-1 were significantly higher in sepsis patients with DIC [(48±17)μg/L] than that in those without DIC [(103 ± 38)μg/L], P < 0.05. Conclusions Inflammatory cytokines play important roles in development of DIC as well as MODS in patients with sepsis. Decreased activity of protein C and increased plasma level of PAI-1 can result in deposition of fibrin on the vessel wall and thrombosis, which can be used as indicators of poor prognosis for patients with DIC.

Objective To observe the expression of brain-derived neurotrophical factor (BDNF) in injury spinal cord after transplantation olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), and to investigate the mechanism of OECs repairing spinal cord injury.Methods OECs from GFP transgenic rats were separated and cultured for transplantation. Spinal cord injury rats were separated two groups by random digits table. In experimental group, OECs suspension were transplanted into injured spinal cord following spinal cord injury. In control group, DMEM was transplanted into the injured spinal cord after spinal cord injury. Motor function was evaluated per week after transplantation. The expression levels of BDNF mRNA and protein were detected by using RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively, and compared with those from normal SD rats.Results Motor function of two groups was improved gradually after transplantation. The motor function scores in experimental group was obviously higher than in control group at 21st day after transplantation (P<0.05). A lot of survival GFP OECs distributed around impaired myeloid tissue. At 21st day after transplantation, BDNF mRNA and protein expression in experimental group were strongest (P<0.05), and stronger in control group than in normal group (P<0.05).Conclusion The transplantation of OECs can repair the injured spinal cord by increasing the expression of BDNF mRNA and protein to improve local microenvironment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of tissue factor (TF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor-1,2 (TFPI-1,2) on cancer metastases and thrombosis complicated with cancer. Methods Blood samples from 292 cancer patients were collected and were divided into different teams according to cancer types,complicated with or without thrombosis; TF, TFPI-1, TFPI-2, plasma concentrations were measured by ELISA;Tissue expression of TF, TFPI-1, TFPI-2 were observed by immunohistochemical method. Results Plasma concentrations of TF and TFPI-1 in all kinds of cancers were higher than the control and lung cancer was the highest; TFPI-2 plasma concentrations had no statistics differences among all these teams. Tissue expression of TF of all kinds of cancer were higher than the adjacent tissues, lung cancer was higher than the other types of cancer. There were no statistics differences for TFPI-1 and TFPI-2. Both TF and TFPI-1 plasma concentrations of cancer with-or without-thrombosis were higher than control. TF was even higher in cancer with thrombosis team, TFPI-1 had no statistic difference between these two teams. TFPI-2 concentrations had no differences among all these teams. Conclusion Many kinds of tumor have higher expression of TF, it is expressed with different intensity according to different types of cancer. TFPI-1 has no clear effect in cancer growing and metastases. Unbalance of TF and TFPI-1 in plasma may relate to high coagulation state of cancer and may accelerate the thrombosis formation in cancer.

Objectives To track bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) labeled by enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and superparamagnetic iron oxide ( SPIO ) -poly-L-lysine (PLL) compound by MRI in vitro for autotransplantation into pancreas of type 1 diabetes miniature pigs. Methods The BMSCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and attachment culture from type 1 diabetes minipigs' bone marrow. Expressional intensity of EGFP in BMSCs transfected lentivirus-EGFP with a multiplicity of infection Different magnetic resonance scanning protocols were carried out on various density BMSCs labeled by different concentration of SPIO in various time-point in vitro. Results When SPIO concentration was 25mg/L (count in Fe3 + ), the positive Fe3+ -labeling rate of BMSCs was 93. 1%. Most of SPIO particles in BMSCs' cytoplasm were observed in secondary lysosomes, but they were not detected in important organelle as cell nucleus. Comparing with gelatin the MRI of BMSCs labeled with SPIO in the condition with 1 ×104/ml cells density and 25 mg/L Fe3+ concentration in vitro, the signal intensity changes (△SI) after BMSCs labeled with SPIO 3 weeks and 6 weeks in TSE T1WI, TSE T2WI and FLASH T2 * WI sequences were 12%, 41%, 63% and 7%, 28%, 46% respectively (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively).Conclusions The data showed that the porcine BMSCs labeled with SPIO and EGFP could be traced successfully in vitro by MRI in the suitable sequences.

Objective To explore the expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI) after epidermal neural crest stem cells (EPI-NCSCs) transplantation.Method EPI-NCSCs were isolated from GFP transgenic rats for transplantation.The rat SCI model was made by NYU-II impactor (10 g 25 mm) at T10 level.Then 30 SD rats were randomly divided into blank injury group (group A),DMEM transplantation group (group B),and experimental group (group C).The EPI-NCSCs were transplanted into the injured region one week after SCI.In DMEM group,the DMEM/F12 was used to substitute for the EPI-NCSCs.No treatment was done in blank injury group.The locomotor function was appraised by BBB score every week after transplantation.At sixth week after transplantation,GDNF mRNA and protein expression was detected.Result The BBB score in experimental group was significantly higher than the other two groups from two weeks after transplantation (P<0.05).The expression of GDNF mRNA and protein in experimental group was significantly higher than the other two groups (P<0.05).There was no significant difference between blank injury group and DMEM transplantation group (P > 0.05).Conclusion The expression of GDNF can be up-regulated by EPI-NCSCs transplantation,which may be one of the mechanisms for EPI-NCSCs repairing SCI.
