Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have been widely used in regenerative medicine, but there is limited research on the stability of UC-MSCs formulation during production. This study aims to assess the stability of the cell stock solution and intermediate product throughout the production process, as well as the final product following reconstitution, in order to offer guidance for the manufacturing process and serve as a reference for formulation reconstitution methods. Three batches of cell formulation were produced and stored under low temperature (2-8 ℃) and room temperature (20-26 ℃) during cell stock solution and intermediate product stages. The storage time intervals for cell stock solution were 0, 2, 4, and 6 h, while for intermediate products, the intervals were 0, 1, 2, and 3 h. The evaluation items included visual inspection, viable cell concentration, cell viability, cell surface markers, lymphocyte proliferation inhibition rate, and sterility. Additionally, dilution and culture stability studies were performed after reconstitution of the cell product. The reconstitution diluents included 0.9% sodium chloride injection, 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 1% human serum albumin, and 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 2% human serum albumin, with dilution ratios of 10-fold and 40-fold. The storage time intervals after dilution were 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 h. The reconstitution culture media included DMEM medium, DMEM + 2% platelet lysate, 0.9% sodium chloride injection, and 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 1% human serum albumin, and the culture duration was 24 h. The evaluation items were viable cell concentration and cell viability. The results showed that the cell stock solution remained stable for up to 6 h under both low temperature (2-8 ℃) and room temperature (20-26 ℃) conditions, while the intermediate product remained stable for up to 3 h under the same conditions. After formulation reconstitution, using sodium chloride injection diluted with 1% or 2% human serum albumin maintained a viability of over 80% within 4 h. It was observed that different dilution factors had an impact on cell viability. After formulation reconstitution, cultivation in medium with 2% platelet lysate resulted in a cell viability of over 80% after 24 h. In conclusion, the stability of cell stock solution within 6 h and intermediate product within 3 h meets the requirements. The addition of 1% or 2% human serum albumin in the reconstitution diluent can better protect the post-reconstitution cell viability.

ObjectiveTo clarify the relationship between intestinal flora and intestinal motility in rats with slow transit constipation （STC） and qi stagnation syndrome by conducting a pseudo-sterile experiment and fecal microbiota transplantation （FMT） technology. MethodsTwenty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group （n=6）， STC with qi stagnation pattern group （n=6） and pseudo-sterile group （n=12）. In the STC group with qi stagnation pattern， 3 mg/kg of loperamide suspension by intragastric administration combined with tail clamping stimulation were performed to establish the rat model of STC with qi stagnation pattern. After successful modeling， fresh feces from the rats in the STC with qi stagnation pattern group and the normal group were collected to prepare 100 mg/ml of fecal bacterial suspension. In the pseudo-sterile group， the antibiotic cocktail method was used （a mixed antibiotic suspension containing bacitracin， streptomycin sulfate， and neomycin sulfate at 20 mg/ml each was administered intragastrically） to establish pseudo-sterile rats model. After successful modeling， the rats were randomly divided into normal fecal bacterial liquid group and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group， with six rats in each group， and then were given 10 ml/kg of the prepared corresponding rat fecal bacterial suspension by gavage. Rats in STC with qi stagnation pattern group were given an equal volume of sterile water by gavage. All groups were administered once a day for 7 consecutive days. The small intestinal propulsion rate of the STC with qi stagnation pattern group， the normal fecal bacterial liquid group， and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group were compared. ELISA method was used to detect serum 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） levels. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expression levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor （5-HT3R） and 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor （5-HT4R） in colon tissue. Western blot method was used to detect the protein expression levels of tryptophan hydroxylase 1 （TPH1）， tryptophan hydroxylase 2 （TPH2）， serotonin transporter （SERT）， and monoamine oxidase A （MAO-A） in colon tissue. ResultsCompared to those in the normal fecal bacterial liquid group， the small intestinal propulsion rate， serum 5-HT level， positive expression of 5-HT3R and 5-HT4R in colon tissue， and protein expression of TPH1， TPH2， SERT and MAO-A significantly decreased in the STC with qi stagnation pattern group and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the indicators between the STC with qi stagnation pattern group and STC with qi stagnation pattern fecal bacterial liquid group （P＞0.05）. ConclusionThe intestinal flora in STC rats with qi stagnation pattern can lead to a slowdown in intestinal transmission function， whose mechanism may be related to intestinal motility disorders affected by the synthesis， transport， metabolism and other pathways of 5-HT.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of pachymic acid （PA） on renal function and fibrosis in chronic renal failure （CRF） rats and its potential mechanism based on the Ras homolog gene family member A （RhoA）/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase （ROCK） signaling pathway. METHODS Using male SD rats as subjects， the CRF model was established by 5/6 nephrectomy； the successfully modeled rats were divided into model group， PA low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （5， 10， 20 mg/kg PA）， high-dose PA+ROCK pathway activator lysophosphatidic acid （LPA） group （20 mg/kg PA+1 mg/kg LPA）， with 15 rats in each group. Another 15 rats were selected as the sham operation group with only the kidney exposed but not excised. The rats in each drug group were gavaged and/or injected with the corresponding liquid via the caudal vein， once a day， for 12 consecutive weeks. During the experiment， the general condition of rats was observed in each group. After the last administration， the serum renal function indexes （blood urea nitrogen， serum creatinine， uric acid） of rats in each group were detected， the renal histopathological changes were observed； the renal tubule injury score and the area of renal fibrosis were quantified. The levels of oxidative stress indexes [malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）] and inflammatory factors （tumor necrosis factor-α， interleukin-1β， interleukin-6）， the positive expression rates of connective tissue growth factor （CTGF） and collagen Ⅰ were detected as well as the expression levels of pathway-related proteins （RhoA， ROCK1） and fibrosis- related proteins （transforming growth factor-β1， bare corneum homologs 2， α-smooth muscle actin） were determined. RESULTS Compared with the sham operation group， the rats in model group had reduced diet， smaller body size， listless spirit and sluggish response， reduced and atrophied glomeruli， dilated renal tubules with chaotic structure， and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated interstitium； the serum levels of renal function indexes， renal tubule injury score， renal fibrosis area proportion， the levels of MDA and inflammatory factors， the positive expression rates of CTGF and collagen Ⅰ， and the expression levels of pathway-related proteins and fibrosis-related proteins in renal tissues were significantly increased， while SOD level was significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the general condition and pathological injuries of kidney tissue of rats in PA groups were improved to varying degrees，and the above quantitative indexes were significantly improved in a dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. LPA could significantly reverse the improvement effect of PA on the above indicators （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS PA can improve renal function and alleviate renal fibrosis in CRF rats， which may be related to inhibiting the activation of RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway.
