Objective:To establish the technique for T lymphocytes inducted and differentiated by using human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells ex vivo and to provide a technological platform for studying T cells biological characteristics and cellular immune.Methods:Human CD34-positive cells were isolated from umbilical cord blood by using a high-gradient magnetic cell sorting system(MACS) and CD34+ cells were seeded on human fetal thymic stromal monolayer system.Liquid culture system contains hematopoietic cytokines(FL+IL-12+IL-7+IL-2) and 20% human AB serum.Non-adhension cells were obtained after 7?14?28?35?42 days of culture respectively to analysis T cells phenotype by FACS using T cells specific monoclonal antibody.T cells morphology were also studied.Results:After 2 weeks of culture CD4+CD8+ immature T lymphocytes wre about 0 3%～13 3% and the peak value is 16 6%～26 5% at 4～5 weeks of culture.CD4-CD8+ and CD4+CD8- T cells that coexpressed CD3 cells increased at 26 5%～64 9% and 11 6%～38 9% after 6 weeks of culture.Wright staining shows that the mature T cells harvested after mitogenic stimulation have the presence of large cells with lymphoblast morphology.Conclusion:Human umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells could be differentiated into T lymphocytes by the culture conditions of human fetal thymic stromal monolayer system and the cytokine combination of FL+IL-12+IL-7+IL-2,and the T cells can be stimulated by IL-2+PHA.

Aim Tostudytheeffectsofferulicacid (FA) on doxorubicin (DOX) induced cellular injury inH9c2ratmyocardialcells.Methods H9c2cells were treated with 1μmol·L-1 DOX treated for 24 h to establish a myocardial injury model. 10, 20, 40μmol ·L-1 FA was added 2 h before DOX treatment. Cell viability was measured by cell counter kit ( CCK-8 ) . Morphological changes were observed by phase contrast microscope. LDH, CK, MDA, SOD levels were detec-ted by biochemical kits. Intracellular level of reactive oxygen species ( ROS) was examined by DCF-DA stai-ning with flow cytometry. Cellular apoptosis was detec-ted by AO-EB staining and DNA agarose gel electro-phoresis. The expression of caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2 was evaluatedbyWesternblot.Results Exposureof H9c2 cells to DOX led to decrease in cell viability, in-crease in stress and apoptosis. FA pre-treatment im-proved cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, at-tenuated leakage of LDH and CK, and reversed mor-phological changes induced by DOX. FA suppressed DOX-induced oxidative stress as evidenced by reducing ROS and MDA generation and increasing SOD enzyme activity. FA depressed myocardial apoptosis by down-regulating pro-apoptotic protein caspase-3 and Bax, whereas up-regulating apoptosis inhibitory protein Bcl-2.Conclusions FAhasaprotectiveeffectonDOX-induced injury in H9c2 cells. This protection may re-sult from inhibition of myocardial oxidative stress and apoptosis.

A sensitive colorimetric method for the detection of copper ions (Cu2+) was developed based on the surface modification of silver/platinum nanoclusters (Ag/Pt NCs) and regulation of peroxidase-like activity. It was found that 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) could inhibit the catalytic ability of Ag/Pt NCs; however, it lost the inhibition toward catalytic ability of Ag/Pt NCs after oxidized by oxygen through the catalysis of Cu2+. On the basis of this, a colorimetric method was developed for the detection of Cu2+ through measuring the colorimetric signal variation of the TMB-H2O2 reaction. This method exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity toward Cu2+ over a panel of other metal ions. The linear range was 10-100 nmol/L and the detection limit was 5.0 nmol/L (3σ). The above method was also applied to detect real water samples and spiked samples, and the results demonstrated that this method was simple with low cost.

AIM: To investigate antitumor effect of allotri-tridecyl diethylamine (D-108) in vivo and in vitro. METHODS: The cytotoxic effects of D-108 on various tumor cell lines, human gingival fibroblast and marrow stromal cell cultured in vitro were determined with trypan blue dye exclusion test and MTT method. The acute toxicity of mice by administration of D-108 was evaluated by Bliss method. At a tolerable dose level, D-108 was administrated to treat transplanted solid tumor U14, and tumor weight inhibition was observed. Apoptosis morphological transformation of HL 60 cell induced by D-108 was detected by the Giemsa staining. RESULTS: The cytotoxic effects in vitro of D-108 on various tumor cell lines (IC_ 50 : 0.22 to 2.19 mg?L~ -1 ) were more powerful than both human gingival fibroblast and marrow stromal cell (IC_ 50 : 5.55 and 3.57 mg?L~ -1 ). LD_ 50 of D-108 was 36.49 mg?kg~ -1 (mice, i.g.). D-108 inhibited in vivo growth of implanted solid tumor U14 of mice effectually. The inhibition rate of tumor weight of D-108 (100 mg?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 i.g.) was 45.27 %. HL 60 cell appearanced typical apoptosis morphological transformation induced by D-108. CONCLUSION: D-108 had obvious antitumor activity in vivo and in vitro and little toxicity. D-108 could induce the apoptosis of HL 60 cell.

Objective To explore the value of helical computed tomography (CT) in differential diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) and wall-thicked gallbladder cancer (GBC).Methods The CT signs of 18 XGCs and 20 wall-thicked GBCs were retrospectively analyzed.The maximum thickness of gallbladder wall, intramural hypoattenuated nodules, mucosal line of gallbladder inner wall,patterns of enhancement of thickened wall,whether combined with stones,the pericholecystic adjacent liver tissue involvement and biliary tract obstruction were observed.Measurement data were analyzed by independent sample t test and count date were analyzed by Fisher precisely the probability method.Results The mean maximum thickness of the gallbladder wall of XGC and wall-thicked GBC was (22.11±10.19) mm and (20.55±7.94) mm respectively,and there was no statistical significance (t=0.530,P=0.600).Eighteen cases of XGC and five cases of wall- thicked GBC patients were with intramural hypoattenuated nodules (Fisher precisely the probability method,P＜0.01 ),14 cases of XGC and six cases of GBC were with integrated mucosal line (Fisher precisely the probability method,P =0.004 ),three cases of XGC and 12 cases of GBC were with biliary tract obstruction (Fisher precisely the probability method,P=0.009).There was no statistical significance in the CT signs of the range of wall thickness,patterns of enhancement and enhanced degree of thickened wall,adjacent liver tissue involvement, lymphadenopathy, combined with gallbladder or bile duct stone between XGC and wall-thicked GBC patients (Fisher precisely the probability method,all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The thickened gallbladder wall with intramural hypoattenuated nodules and integrated gallbladder inner wall mucosal line were characteristic signs for diagnosing XGC.Helical CT scanning can provide evidence for differential diagnosis in XGC and wall- thicked GBC.

Aim To evaluate the effects of notoginsen-oside R1 on store-operated calcium entry ( SOCE ) in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells ( PASMCs ) of chronic hypoxia ( CH)-and monocrotaline ( MCT)-in-duced pulmonary hypertension ( PH) rats. Methods Mn2+ quenching of Fura-2 and measurement of intra-cellular free calcium concentration ( [ Ca2+] i ) using fluo-3 were examined in PASMCs of CH-exposed and MCT-treated rats. Results ①CH-exposed and MCT-treated rats exhibited profound PH when examined 3 weeks after hypoxia exposure or MCT injection, respec-tively. ②In the presence of 3 μmol·L-1 nifedipine, 10 μmol · L-1 notoginsenoside R1 significantly re-duced cyclopiazonic acid ( CPA )-induced the percent reduction in Fura-2 fluorescence measured 500 sec af-ter application of Mn2+, the maximal rate of Mn2+quenching, the amplitude of the Ca2+ influx transient and the resting [ Ca2+] i in PASMCs of CH-exposed and MCT-treated rats.

Objective To explore the effect of general intervention in improving the psychological condition of healthy pregnant women. Methods Totally 96 pregnant women who made prenatal visits in our obstetrics and outpatient department were divided into the control and the intervention group stochasti-cally. The intervention group started from first prenatal visit. The general intervention measures included cognitive intervention, the behavioral intervention, family coping intervention and psychological intervention with self-designed relaxation exercises. While conventional prenatal visit, propaganda and nursing were im-plemented to the control group.Self-made general questionnaire and symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90)were used to survey and analyze the results. Results Post-natal depression and anxiety of the control group was obviously higher than that of the prenatal. The Post-natal obsessive-compulsive symptom, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, hostility, terror and bigotry in the intervention group were greatly alleviated. Com-pared with the control group, obsessive-compulsive symptom, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, hostility and terror of the intervention group were significantly different (P<0.05). The depression improved while the difference was not evidently differenL Conclusions Delivery had great influence on the psychological status of women,especially anxiety and depression. General intervention measures like psychological relax-ation exercises can improve the psychological condition of healthy pregnant women obviously,especially de-pression.
