In vitro culture and differentiation of goat neural stem cells / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Different types of nerve regulatory factors and glial cells have been reported to exert different roles in the differentiation and maturation of neural stem cells, but culturing neural stem cells in large animals is relatively rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To explore the way for culturing goat neural stem cells and to detect the outcome after in vitro differentiation. METHODS:The neural stem cellwas separated and cultured from the newborn goat cerebral cortex and the anti-nestin immunocytochemical staining was performed for cellidentification. At the same time, anti-S100 active Schwann cells were gotten from the sciatic nerve. Then in vitro differentiation was preformed and the outcome was detected by the immunocytochemical stain of anti-glial fibril ary acidic protein, anti-microtubule-associated protein 2 and anti-S100. cells without primary antibodies served as controls. Gray values were calculated and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The Schwann cells were cultured successful y, which were active to the anti-nestin immunocytochemical staining and anti-S100 staining. After differentiation, the products were active to anti-glial fibril ary acidic protein and anti-microtubule-associated protein 2 immunocytochemical stain, but Abstract BACKGROUND:Different types of nerve regulatory factors and glial cells have been reported to exert different roles in the differentiation and maturation of neural stem cells, but culturing neural stem cells in large animals is relatively rarely reported.

And significant difference was found in gray values. The goat neural stem cells and Schwann cells were successful y cultured and identified. After the differentiation, the astrocytes and neurons were detected, but the Schwann cells were not found.

Effect of blood glucose control on level of lactic acid in patients with cardic-valve replacement / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the effect of different control levels of glucose on the serum lactic acid during operation, and to investigate the relation between glucose and lactic acid to find a new way of myocardial protection.@*METHODS@#Volunteers were divided into an experiment group(n=38) and a control group(n=33) by random sampling and double blind method. The experiment group received intensive insulin therapy and the control group received traditional therapy. The arterial blood gas samples of all the patients at different time points after the operation were harvested in the intensive care unit for blood gas analysis. The related data were collected and analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The serum glucose level in the 2 groups decreased firstly, then increased, and recovered finally. The serum lactic acid level in the 2 groups increased firstly, decreased later, then reincreased, and recovered finally. The highest level of the serum lactic acid was found 2 hours after the operation. There were significant differences in serum glucose and lactic acid levels at 2, 12, and 24 h after the operation in the two groups (P0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The variation of serum glucose and lactic acid level at 2, 12, 24 h after the valve replacement is consistent and significant. The serum lactic acid in the serum may be decreased by controlling the blood glucose, which provides experiment basis for myocardial protection.

Change and significance of visfatin, C-Reactive protein and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in polycystic ovary syndrome patients / 中国医师杂志

Objective To investigate the serum level of visfatin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and provide the basis for understanding the pathogenesis of PCOS. Meth-ods 94 patients with PCOS and 100 healthy subjects were divided into 4 subgroups according to their body mass index(BMI), including obese PCOS subgroup(n = 52), non - obese PCOS subgroup (n = 42), obese healthy subject subgroup (n = 43) and non - obese healthy subject (n = 57). Serum visfatin, CRP, MCP-1, sex hormone levels and metabolic parameters were measured by enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay (ELISA), automatic chemistry analyzer or chemiluminescent immunoassay. Results Serum levels of testosterone (T), lu-teiizing hormone (LH) and prolactin (PRL) in the PCOS group were significantly higher than those in healthy subjects group(P <0.05～0.01), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels were significantly decreased in PCOS group(P<0.01). Serum levels of Visfatin, CRP, MCP-1,fasting insulin(Fins) and insulin resistance homa model (HOMA-IR) in the obese or non - obese PCOS subgroup were signif-icantly increased than that in the obese or non - obese healthy subjects subgroup respectively (P<0.01). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the visfatin, CRP and MCP-1 levels were positively related to BMI, FINS and HOMA-IR(r=0.323～0.675, P<0.01). Par-tial correlation showed that serum visfatin levels were correlated with HOMA-IR(r=0.491, P<0.01), and serum MCP-1 levels were cor-related with LH (r=0.267, P<0.05) in the PCOS group. Conclusion The patients with PCOS had higher visfatin, CRP and MCP-1 lev-els, and visfatin levels were positively correlated with insulin resistance. Obesity were involved in the chronic inflammation course in patients with PCOS.

Transfection of human VEGF165 gene into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in rats / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Objective To create a method for transfecting human vascular endothelial growth factor165 (hVEGF165) gene into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in rats. Methods MSCs of Wistar rats were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and purified based on their ability of adhesion to plastic. Detections of cell surface antigens, including CD34, CD45, CD44, and SH3, were performed using flow cytometry. MSCs' potential of differentiating into osteoblast and lipoblast in vitro was tested. The vector pcDNA3.1-hVEGF165 was transfected into MSCs with the liposome mediated method. The expression of hVEGF165 in the transfected cells was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and Western blot analysis. Results The cultured MSCs were CD34-, CD45-, CD44+, and SH+, which were differentiated into osteoblasts and lipocytes successfully. The expressed hVEGF165 in the transfected rat MSCs was demonstrated. Conclusion The vector pcDNA3.1-hVEGF165 is successfully expressed in MSCs.
