ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:It has been proved that bone marrow mononuclear cel transplantation can obviously improve neurological function of rats with cerebral hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of transplanted bone marrow mononuclear cel s on the neurological function and apoptosis in perihematomal brain tissues fol owing cerebral hemorrhage in a rat model. METHODS:Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were given stereotaxical injection of col agenase IV into the caudate nucleus to establish cerebral hemorrhage models in transplantation group (n=12) and model group (n=12), and then at 6 hours after cerebral hemorrhage, rats in these two groups were administrated 3x1010/L al ograft bone marrow mononuclear cel s and the same amount of PBS, respectively. Another 12 rats were given no interventions as control group. Neurological functions of rats were assessed at 1, 4, 8, 16 days after cerebral hemorrhage;pathological changes of the injury sites were observed at 16 days after transplantation;neuronal apoptosis rates in the perihematomal brain tissue were detected by flow cytometry at 2 and 4 days after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The modified neurologic severity scores in the transplantation group were significantly lower than those in the model group at 8 and 16 days after cerebral hemorrhage (P<0.05). In the control group, cel s in each layer arranged closely with complete structure, and neurons and glial cel s were in good shape;in the model group, perihematomal brain tissues were loose with intercel ular gap, in which most neurons and glial cel s became necrotic;in the transplantation group, cel s in each layer arranged closely and regularly, and glial cel proliferation occurred. Besides, compared with the model group, the neuronal apoptosis rate in the transplantation group was significantly lower (P<0.05). To conclude, bone marrow mononuclear cel s can significantly enhance the neurological function recovery and reduce neuronal apoptosis in the brain of cerebral hemorrhage rats.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To Study the influence of plasma TG level on the contents of serum HDL subpopulations. METHODS: Classified by the contents of serum TG, the serum level of HDL subpopulations in 106 normal TC and 183 high TC subjects were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with immunodection method. RESULTS: The apo-AⅠcontents of per-?_1-HDL, HDL_~3c , HDL_~3b and HDL_~3a were higher in a certain extent in TC high subjects vs corresponding TC desirable subjects. The apo-AⅠ contents of per-?_1-HDL (in borer-line high TG subgroup) and HDL_~3b (in very high TG subgroup) were significantly higher (P
ABSTRACT
AIM: To detect the change of composition and ratio of serum HDL subclasses and explore the relationship between these changes and the plasma lipid level in patients with hyperlipidemia. METHODS: The components of subclasses of serum HDL in 172 middle and old aged patients with hyperlipidemia and 115 healthy middle and old aged were determined by dimensional gel electrophoresis associated with immuno-blotting method. RESULTS: Compared to the healthy controls, the contents of pre ?_1-HDL, HDL_~3b and HDL_~3a were significantly higher (P
