Objective:To analyze the in vitro inhibitory effects of resveratrol on rabies virus. Methods:The challenge virus standard (CVS)-11 strain of rabies virus and BHK-21 cells were used to establish the infection model. In vitro inhibitory effects of resveratrol on rabies virus were analyzed at different stages of infection by direct immunofluorescence and cell fluorescence focus unit assay. Results:Without affecting cell growth, resveratrol could block the adsorption of virus, interfere with the entry of virus into cells and inhibit virus proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibition rate could reach up to about 95%. The results of co-incubation experiment showed that 40 μmol/L resveratrol could directly kill the virus.Conclusions:This study indicated that resveratrol inhibited the activity of rabies virus in a concentration-dependent manner.

Objective To observe the effect of Baduanjin on mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods From January to June, 2016, 60 patients with MCI in community were randomly divided into control group (n=30) and training group (n=30). The training group accepted training of Baduanjin for six months, and the control group accepted no intervention. They were assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) before and after intervention; while the blood lipid, and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), acetylcholine (Ach), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected. Results The total score, and scores of visual space and executive function, abstract and delayed memory of MoCA were more in the training group than in the control group after intervention (t>3.576, P<0.01), while the level of total cholesterol, IL-6 and MDA decreased (t>2.744, P<0.05), and the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol, Ach and SOD increased (t>2.922, P<0.01). Conclusion Baduanjin can improve the cognitive function in MCI patients, as well as reducing blood fat, oxidation and inflammation. There may be some relationship between them.

Objective:
To investigate the inactivating effect of soap solution on rabies virus and to explore the concentration of soap solutions which could be effective in post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) of rabies virus infection.
Methods:
The BSR and N2a cells were respectively infected by the mixture of different concentrations of soap solution and rabies virus CVS-11. Based on the direct immunofluorescent method (DFA) and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), the inactivating effects of soap solutions on rabies viruse in BSR and N2a cells were detected, respectively.
Results:
This experiment established the BSR or N2a cells model in 24 well cell culture plates, and we found that the upper limit of soap solution concentration which BSR or N2a cells could tolerate was 1%. The inhibitory effect test of different soap solution on rabies virus showed that the 0.5% concentration of soap solution could completely inhibit the survival of CVS-11 strain in both the BSR and N2a cells, but the 0.1% concentration of soap solution could not inhibit the rabies viruses completely.
Conclusions
The 0.5%-1% concentration of soap solutions could inhibit the survival of CVS-11 strain in three minutes in vivo experiment.

9.Drug therapies for osteoporosis and application of stem cells in bone regeneration medicine: the current and future
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;19(19):3107-3111
BACKGROUND:Besides drug therapy, regenerative therapy is now a matter of global interest in treating osteoporosis. Therefore, it is also important to find better candidate cels. OBJECTIVE:To cognize the status of drug therapies for osteoporosis and stem cels as regenerative therapy. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed was performed by the first author to retrieve articles relevant to stem cel therapy for osteoporosis published from January 2000 to December 2014. The keywords were osteoporosis, drug therapy, bone regenerative medicine, stem cel therapy, which appeared in the title, abstract or keywords, and the relevant references were also looked up. Articles published recently or in authoritative journals were preferred, and finaly 39 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Yoshikazu Mikami and co-workers from Japan found two novel bone formation accelerators, SST-VEDI and SSH-BMI, which provides a new direction for related studies on drug therapy. Due to the osteogenesis ability, lack of ethical controversy and less damage, de-differentiated fat cels and pulp stem cels may be promising candidate cels for bone regeneration medicine.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells are a kind of adult stem cells with the potentials of self-replicating and multi-directional differentiation. Under certain conditions, the cells can develop into bone, cartilage and other types of cells. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factors can promote regeneration of mesenchymal stem cells.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the osteogenic induction effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factors by animal experiment, and provide a better treatment method for clinical treatment of bone defect.
METHODS:Forty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into treatment group and model group. Al animals were removed 2 cm length of the right radial bone and the surrounding periosteum, and then implanted with demineralized bone matrix into the defect. The treatment group was subcutaneously injected with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 30μg/kg per day, the injection was started at preoperative 3 days and given for 7 continuous days. In control group, the same dose of physiological saline was injected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the treatment group, the number of mesenchymal stem cells, the quantity and quality of bone formation at bone defects were better than those in the model group. The experimental findings indicate that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor can obviously increase the number of mesenchymal stem cells and promote bone formation at the area of bone defect, which can contribute to early repair of bone defects.
