ABSTRACT
Objective To isolate and culture mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)from human term umbilical cord and placenta,and to study the proliferative and adipogenic capacities of human fetus tissue MSCs (FT-MSCs ), umbilical cord MSCs (UC-MSCs)and placenta MSCs (PL-MSCs), and to provide an experimental basis for its clinical use.Methods The human term umbilical cord and placenta were obtained in sterile condition. The UC-MSCs and PL-MSCs were isolated by digestion using collagenaseⅠ,the FT-MSCs were provided by Zhongke Bio-engineering Co.,Ltd.The 3th or 4th passages of MSCs were selected in this study.The cell morphology was observed by inverted microscope.The proliferative ability was detected by living cell number counting method.The cell cycle and the positive expression rates of the surface markers of three kinds of MSCs were detected by flow cytometry (FCM).The 3th generation of UC-MSCs,PL-MSCs,and FT-MSCs were induced to differentiate into adipogenic cells.18 d after being induced,the differentiated cells were stained with Oil red O and the positive cells were counted. The adipogenic differentiation abilities of MSCs from the different tissues were assessed. Results The MSCs from different tissues were spindle-shaped adherent cells.The FCM results showed the surface marker of MSCs were positive for CD44,CD73,CD90,and CD105,and negative for CD14,CD34,and CD45. The FT-MSCs displayed higher proliferative ability than UC-MSCs and PL-MSCs (P<0.01).The proliferative index (PI)of FT-MSCs (36.66%±1.30%)was significantly higher than those of UC-MSCs (18.23%±1.10%) and PL-MSCs (10.03%±1.20%) (P<0.01).The lipid droplets were found after induction,and the results of Oil red O staining were positive in all kinds of MSCs. However the adipogenic capacity of UC-MSCs was significantly higher than those of PL-MSCs and FT-MSCs (P<0.01).Conclusion UC-MSCs,PL-MSCs and FT-MSCs have similar biological characteristics and cell surface markers. But FT-MSCs have the strongest proliferative ability and activity,UC-MSCs have the strongest adipogenic capacity invitro.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the imaging characteristics of pigmented villonodular synovitis(PVNS) of knee joint.Methods X-ray,CT and MR imaging features of PVNS of knee confirmed by operation,arthroscope and pathology were retrospectively analysed with literatures review.Results X-ray could only show the swelling of the joint cpasules,the destruction,defect and sclerosis of the bone under the articular surface.CT could show the soft tissue nodules in joint cavity projected from joint capsule.MRI was sensitive in showing the thickened synovium of joint and joint effusion,the soft tissue nodules and thickened synovium of joint were iso-or low signal intensity on T1WI,isointensity in one and low or slight hyperintensity in 4 on T2WI.Multiple haemosiderin deposit nodules were seen in the thickened synovium,which were low signal intensity on T1WI and T2WI in 4 cases,and the nodules were enhanced obviously on contrast-enhanced MR images.Conclusion MRI possesses obviously in diagnosis of PVNS of knee joint than X-ray and CT,which is helpful in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PVNS of knee joint.
