Objective: To investigate the possible oncogenicity of bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSCs) transplanted into brain and its underlying mechanism. Methods: The contralateral hemiplegia became gradually worse in three Sprague-Dawley rats among twenty rats after intracerebral transplantation with BMSCs. The intracerebral space occupying lesions were examined by MRI, and the life span of these rats was observed and recorded. The tumor tissues were obtained after the three rats were sacrificed. The telomerase activity was detected by telemeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP)- PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), nestin and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relative expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) proteins in intracerebral tumor tissues and normal tissues were examined by Western blotting. Results: Of twenty rats, three rats displayed left hemiplegia which was continuously getting worse, and the life spans of the three rats were 129, 174 and 187 d, respectively. The result of TRAP-PCR-ELISA showed that the telomerase activity of intracerebral tumor tissues was higher than that of intracerebral normal tissues. The expressions of PCNA and nestin proteins in intracerebral tumor tissues were both higher but the expression of GFAP was lower than those of intracerebral normal tissues. The results of Western blotting showed that among three rats with intracerebral normal tissues, the expression level of EGFR protein was increased in one rat while the expression level of VEGF protein was increased in two rats. There was no significant difference in the expression of MMP-9 protein among the three rats. Conclusion: The telomerase activity and the ability of cell proliferation of BMSCs can be enhanced and the activation of oncogenes can be observed after long-term cell culture in vitro, and these findings suggest that the tumorigenesis potential can be induced after intracerebral transplantation with MSCs.

Objective To explore the protective effect of Mip1 on cerebral edema by observing the Mip1 expression of perihematoma in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) rat model. Methods Ninety male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n=15) and ICH group (n=75). ICH group was equally subdivided into 6 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, and 7 d groups according to cerebral hemorrhage time, 15 in each group. Hematoma was formed by infusing autologous femoral artery blood into the right caudate nucleus. Rats were killed at the above time points, brain tissues around hematoma were taked. The pathological morphological changes in brain tissue around hematoma were observed using HE staining. The water content of brain (BWC) was measured with dry/wet weight method, and immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the average optical density value of Mip1 protein in perihematoma. Results Neuronal cell body of perihematoma was significantly decreased after ICH, the cytoplasm light staining, Nissl body reduced obviously in cytoplasm, and edema fissure appeared around cells, however, no obvious changes of nerve cells were detected in sham-operated group. Brain edema gradually increased at 6 h, and reached peak at 3 d (all P<0.05), then up to normal at 7 d after intracerebral hemorrhage (P>0.05). A large amount of brown Mip1 positive cells were found to distribute in cytoplasm and nucleus of perihematoma after intracerebral hemorrhage. The Mip1 protein expression level was higher in 6 h after intracerebral hemorrhage than that in sham-operated group (all P<0.05), and returned to normal level at 7 d (P>0.05). Conclusion The high expression of Mip1 after ICH is in line with the trend of the brain edema development, and shows that the activation of Mip1 may participate in the pathological process of hemorrhagic cerebral edema.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the nosocomial infections among dead cases with cancer and explore the relationship between death and nosocomial infections.METHODS Totally 309 dead cases with cancer were investigated and analyzed in 2004-2005.RESULTS From them 64 with 72 times accompanied by nosocomial infections(20.71%,23.30%),the rate was 5.85 times higher than the total nosocomial infection rate in the hospital.Of 64 cases with nosocomial infections,48(75%) were led to death directly by nosocomial infections.The average hospitalization time of these 64 dead cases with nosocomial infections was 63.94 days,which was 20.98 days longer than the whole average hospitalization time(29.21 days).Cases with tumors related to immune system were more often accompanied by nosocomial infections than with other tumors(P

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of chitosan/PVA nerve conduits which used for repairing sciatics nerve defect in rats.MethodsTwenty-seven rats were divided into 3 groups randomly,with 9 rats in each group. Firstly, the 15mm defects in the left sciatic nerves were made in the rats and were respectively repaired with chitosan/PVA conduits graft (group A), the silicon conduits graft (group B),and autografts (group C). At 12 weeks after the operations, the left sciatic nerves were taken out, and the comparative evaluation was made on the repairing effects by wet weight of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, histological examination,computerized imaging analysis and True Blue retrograde tracing. ResultsThe wet weight of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles showed no significant difference between the chitosan/PVA graft and autograft groups (P ＞ 0.05). The wet weight of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles in significant difference between the chitosan/PVA graft and the silicon group at 12 weeks after the operation(P ＜ 0.05). The nerve fiber density showed no statistically significant differences between the chitosan/PVA and autograft groups(P＞ 0.05).The regenerative nerve fiber in group B had normal morphological and structural characters under transmission electron microscope.True Blue-labeled neuron cell bodies were found within both anterior horn of gray matter in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) ipsilateral to the operated side of the tested rats on illumination with ultra-violet light 1 week after the injection of True Blue.Conclusion Chitosan/PVA nerve conduit can effectively promote the nerve regeneration and myelinization of rat sciatic nerve, which is expected to substitute for autograft to repair nerve defects succesfully.

Objective To investigate the relation between the expression of toll receptor-4 (TLR-4) and the increase of blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability in the rats with acute pancreatitis.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 8 groups:control group;acute edematous pancreatitis (AEP) 2 h,6 h groups;acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h groups with 8 rats in each group.The BBB permeability,pathological score of pancreas,TLR-4 expression were determined and the relationships between them were analyzed.Results The BBB permeability in control group;acute edematous pancreatitis (AEP) 2 h,6 h groups;ANP 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h groups were 1.55±0.29,1.64±0.17,1.69±0.24,1.89±0.12,2.66±0.32,2.91±0.29,2.89±0.69 and 1.84±0.07,respectively;the pathological scores of pancreas were 0,2.38±0.92,3.13±0.64,8.50±1.07,9.75±0.71,10.25±1.28,11.13±1.25 and 10.13±1.13,respectively;there was no significant difference between AEP groups and control group,while there was significant difference between AEP groups and ANP groups (P＜0.05 orP ＜0.01).BBB permeability was correlated with pancreatic injury ( r = 0.626,P ＜0.01).There was no TLR-4 mRNA and protein expression in the control and AEP group,while they were significantly expressed in ANP groups,and the expression were positively related with BBB permeability ( r =0.208,P = 0.027 ).Conclusions BBB permeability was present in the course of ANP.Activation of TLR-4 signal pathway may be involved in the BBB permeability increase caused by ANP.
