ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the mechanism of acute inflammatory response and tissue repair when rats accepted transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods A total of 40 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups which included the normal group (n=10),the model severe acute pancreatitis group (n=10),the transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group (n =10),and the combination of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) group (n=10).To cure the acute severe pancreatic injury caused by SAP,rats were injected with EDU-labeled MSCs and granulocyte colonystimulating factor (Gr-CSF).The conversion rate of MSCs to pancreatic cells or MSCs to endothelial cells was detected to assess the role of MSCs in tissue regeneration and repair.The expression of amylase,interleukin-6 (IL-6),and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in serum was detected to assess the role of MSCs in an acute inflammatory response.Results The concentrations of amylase and IL-6 were reduced and the concentration of IL-10 was increased in MSC and MSC+G-CSF groups after the onset of SAP.Flow cytometry showed a small amount of MSCs converting to endothelial or pancreatic cells,but the conversion rate was relatively low.Conclusions MSCs can play an important role in the antipre-release of inflammatory mediators,reducing acute immune response to control the acute inflammatory response in SAP.Moreover,MSCs can repair a damaged pancreas by converting into both pancreatic and endothelial cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in rats.Methods A total of 60 rats were randomly divided into normal group (n =10),the model of SAP group (n =10),the transplantation of the MSC group (n =20),the combination of the MSC and the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) group (n =20).The conversion rate of MSC was detected by using immunofluorescence methods,and the level of amylase in serum was assayed by using biochemical methods.Simultaneously,the level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum was determined by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The conversion rates of the MSC increased,and consequently,the levels of amylases and interleukin-6 in serum were reduced (P ＜ 0.05).When a small amount of the G-CSF was added to MSC,the therapeutic effects of the two different kinds of cells were synergistically strengthened.In the contrary,when a large number of the G-CSF was added to MSC,the antagonism resulted between these two different kinds of cells gives rise to harmful effects on SAP.Conclusions The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have therapeutic effects on SAP.When the number of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells increases,the protective effects are enhanced.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of immediate breast reconstruction with the pedicle transverse rectus abdominus myocutaneons(TRAM)flap.Methods Ten breast cancer patients underwent immediate breast reconstruction with the pedicle TRAM flap after mastectomy,among which 4 cases used single pediele TRAM and 6 cases used bipedical TRAM.Polypropypene mesh were applied on all cases of patients to repair the abdominal defect. Results All the breast reconstructions were successful.Complications included grafting flap infection in one case and skin necrosis on partial abdominal skin flap in one case.The reconstructed breasts had a very good shape in 8 cases,and good in 2 cases.No local recurrence and distant metastasis occurred in the patients during the follow-up time ranging from 3 to 15 months. Conclutions Immediate breast reconstruction with the pedicle TRAM flap is an ideal breast reconstruction method for those patients undergoing mastectomy not only because it reconstructs the defective breast but for its cosmetic effect on the abdominal wall.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the protective effects of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation alone with bone marrow stem cells mobilization on liver cells in rats with severe acute paucreatitis in order to explore their mechanism. Method After the establishment of severe acute pancreatitis in rats made by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine, 240 SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n = 48), model control group (n = 48), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplanted (MSC) group (n = 48), granu-lacyte-colony stimulating factor treated (G-CSF) group (n = 48) and MSC + G-CSF (n = 48). The rats of MSC group were prepared by injection of 1.2 mL MSC into femoral vein 6 hours after SAP. The rats of G-CSF group were prepared by subcutaneous injection of G-CSF 40 μg/kg for 3 days before SAP. The rats of MSC + G-CSF group received MSC and G-CSF together. The rats of sham-operated group were injected with equal volume of nor-real saline. The rats in each group were sabdivided into 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h sub-groups (n = 12) according to the examinations in different intervals after operation. Of different subgroups, the morality rate, pathological changes, expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2 proteins and apoptosis indexes of livers were observed respectively. The contents of serum TNF-α,IL-6,ALT,AST,LDH and CRP were simultaneously determined to compare the difference among subgroups by variance analysis. Results Compared to the respective model group, the mortality rates of all treated 72 h subgroups showed no difference (P > 0.05), and no rats died before 48 h. The pathological injuries of liver cells were rather attenuated in rats of treated group than in rats of control group. The liver cell apoptosis in-dexes of 48 h and 72 h MSC + G-CSF subgroups were 107.1 ± 7.0, 110.3 ± 8.6, respectively; the expression of Bax in livers of 24 h,48 h and 72 h subgroups was 5.60±0.Z5, 5.69±0.22, 5.73±0.27, respectively;Bcl-2 protein of 48 h,72 h subgroups was 4.61±0.28, 4.43±0.28, respectively; compared with MSC and G-CSF subgroups the differences were significant (P < 0.05). The serum TNF-α, IL-6, ALT, AST, LDH and CRP de-creased obviously in 24 h/48 h treated subgroups in comparison with control group (P < 0.05). The MSC + G-CSF group showed more significant effects on those biomarkers than MSC or G-CSF alone after 48 hours (P < 0.05). Conclusions Autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation alonewith bone marrow stem cells mobilization can significantly protect livers from severe damage during the course of severe acute panere-atitis, and the probable mechanisms are likely associated with the pathological regeneration, anti-inflammatory ef-fect and apoptosis inhibition of MSC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the influence of Baicalin and Octreotide on lung injury of rat with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) and discuss the therapeutic effect and mechanism of the two medicines on SAP.Methods The improved Aho(?)method was adopted to pre- pare SAP rat models via retrograde injection of 3.5% sodium taurocholate to the pancreatic duct.The 135 SAP rat models after being pre- pared were randomly divided into the model group,Baicalin treatment group and Octreotide treatment group with 45 rats in each group;an- other 45 were selected to be the sham operation group which only received abdomen opening surgery.The above - mentioned groups were then randomly divided into 3h,6h and 12h groups with 15 rats in each group.Observed respectively at 3h,6h and 12h after operation,the mortalities of all rat groups followed by batch execution of rats,and then observed the gross pathological and pathological changes of lung. The tissue microarrays technology was applied to prepare the lung tissue microarrays sections.The changes in Bax and bcl-2 protein ex- pression levels of lung tissue of each group were observed via immunohistochemical staining and meanwhile the TUNEL method was applied to observe the lung cell category and apoptotic index changes of lung tissue in each group.Results The 12h survival of model group was 66,67% while those of Baicalin treatment group and Octreotide treatment groups were both 100%,indicating a marked difference(P＜0.05).Comparison of lung pathological score disclosed:The model group and Baicalin treatment group obviously exceeded the sham oper- ation group at various time points(P＜0.01);at 6h and 12h the Baicalin treatment group was obviously less than the model group(P＜0.05)and the Oetreotide treatment group less than the model group(P＜0.01).Comparison of Bax protein of lung in each group dis- closed:The Baicalin treatment group and Octreotide treatment group obviously exceeded the sham operation group and model group at 3h (P＜0.05),meanwhile the Baicalin treatment group obviously exceeded the Octreotide treatment group(P＜0.01).Changes of lung bcl -2 protein expression level of all groups disclosed:The model group and Baicalin treatment group obviously exceeding the sham operation group(P＜0.01)as well as the Octreotide treatment group(P＜0.05)at different time points,the Baicalin treatment group was obviously less than the model group at 6h(P＜0.05).The peak of apoptosis occurred to the Baicalin treatment group at 6h,but statistics showed no obvious difference among all groups at different time points(P＞0.05).Conclusions(1)Both Baicalin and Octreotide have protecting effect on SAP lung injury and their therapeutic mechanism is possibly related to apoptosis.The application of tissue microarrays in SAP pathological examination can save manpower and material resources,cut down the experimental cost and improve the experimental efficien- cy,thus worth popularizing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the enhancement effect of SLC(secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine)gene mediated by a repli- cation deficient recombinant adenovirus(Ad)on human pancreatic cancer in vitro and vivo and to investigate the mechanism of action of SLC.Methods Human pancreatic carcinoma cell line ASPC-1 was infected with Ad-SLC and Ad-CFG,and compared with phosphate buffered saline(PBS).MTT(3,-[4,5-dimethyhhiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyhetrazolium bromide)assay was used to estimate the proliferation of ASPC-1 cells;tube formation assay and choriallantoic membrane assay were used to evaluate angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro.Xenografted nude mice with pancreatic cancer were established to observe in vivo tumour growth suppression.Microvessel density re- vealed by CD34 immunohistochemical staining was measured and TIL in tumor region was also evaluated.Results Growth and tube forma- tion of ASPC-1 cells infected with Ad-SLC were suppressed significantly compared with cells infected with Ad-CFG or ceils treated with PBS.Neovascularisation in the Ad-SLC group was less than that in the PBS and Ad-CFG groups,based on chorioallantoic mem- brane results.Volumes of pancreatic tumours in the Ad-SLC group were significantly smaller than those in the PBS and Ad-CFG groups at the end of the treatment period.Microvessel density in the Ad-SLC group was significantly lower than that in the Ad-CFG and PBS groups and TILs in tumor region in the Ad-SLC group was significantly risen much more than that in the Ad-CFG and PBS groups when the mice transferd the same number of TILs from spleen of health mice.Conclusions The SLC gene mediated by adenovirus is efficient for gene therapy for pancreatic carcinoma.Suppression of SLC on proliferation of vascular endothelium cells,attracting TIL to tumor region and angiogenesis may account for its effect.
