ABSTRACT
To probe into the influence of transplantation of allogenic bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) on the left ventricular remodeling of rat after acute myocardial infarction (AMD,60 male Wistar rats were evenly divided into three groups at random: control group 1, control group 2and transplantation group. In control group 1, chest was opened without ligation of coronary artery;in control group 2 and transplantation group, the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery was ligated to establish AMI model. Prepared culture medium and allogenic BM-MNCs suspension were respectively implanted the surrounding area of infracted cardiac muscle via epicardium of control group 2 and transplantation group. Four weeks after the operation, the osteopontin gene (OPN mRNA, P＜0.01), type Ⅰ collagen (P＜0.01) and angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ, P＜0.01) content in the left ventricular non-infracted myocardium, and the Ang Ⅱ density in blood plasma (P＜0.05) of transplantation group and control group 2 were all significantly higher than that of control group 1. In the transplantation group, the myocardial OPN mRNA, type Ⅰ collagen and Ang Ⅱ content of non-infracted zone in left ventricle, and the Ang Ⅱ concentration in blood plasma were all significantly lower than those of control group 2 (P＜0.05 for all). It is concluded that allogenic BM-MNCs transplantation may ease left ventricular remodeling after AMI by inhibiting the synthesis of type Ⅰ collagen in the cardiac muscle and down-regulating the expression of Ang Ⅱ and OPN gene.

ABSTRACT
Some biological characteristics of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured in vitro were observed. hMSCs were isolated from bone marrow and purified by density gradient centrifugation method, and then cultured in vitro. The proliferation and growth characteristics of hMSCs were observed in primary and passage culture. MSCs of passage 3 were examined for the purify by positive rate of CD29 and CD44 through flow cytometry. Human bone marrow MSCs showed active proliferation capacity in vitro. The purify of MSCs separated by our method was higher than 90%. It was concluded that hMSCs have been successfully cultured and expanded effectively. It provided a foundation for further investigation and application of MSCs.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the protective effect of leukocyte-depleted warm blood cardioplegia on immature myocardium in infant.Methods Thirty infants with congenital heart disease whose American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) were Ⅱ-Ⅲ,aortic clamping time and bypass time were more than 30,40 minutes were respectively selected and divided into 2 groups:Experimental group and control group.Experimental group were perfused with leukocyte-depleted warm blood cardioplegia while control group perfused with common warm blood cardiplegia.Under monitoring the hemodynamics at surgery,the serum levels of troponin I(cTnI) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in heparinized anticoagulant blood samples from radial artery at different time points [anesthesia induction and before extracorporeal circulation(T1),30 min after aortic clamping(T2) and aortic declamping 5 min(T3),15 min(T4)]were detected.Three pieces of cardiac muscle were taken from right atrium at different time points and the levels of myeloperoxidase(MPO) were detected.Results 1.The serum cTnI and ICAM-1 levels after aortic declamping were higher than those before operation,and the levels in experimental group were lower than those in control group(t=2.358,2.533,2.30,2.639 Pa
