RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Since there are only cell axons of neurons in peripheral cells, the study on neural stem cells (NSCs) is almost focused on neuronal cells, for which, the study on repair of peripheral nerve may be based on some experiences in NSCs.OBJECTIVE: To observe the repair of peripheral nerve after graft of autologus bone marrow derived NSCs in the injured area. To observe whether the grafted NSCs were survived and migrated in spinal cord as differentiated neurons in the injured area of peripheral nerve or not.DESIGN: Observed controlled experiment was designed.SETTING: Institute of Neurological Medicine of Zhujiang Hospital affiliated to Southern Medical UniversityMATERIALS: Eight New Zealand big white rabbits were employed, of clean grade, mass weighted varied from 1.5 to 2.5 kg and of either sex.METHODS: The experiment was performed in Institute of Neurological Medicine of Zhujiang Hospital affiliated to Southern Medical University collected from New Zealand big white rabbits for culture and differentiation was prepared. Sciatic neural injured area of one side was randomized as graft side. Physiological saline, collagen matrix and cellular embedding solution were infused up to 0.01 mL (containing stem cells 1×1010L-1). Another side was taken as the control, in which, collagen matrix suspension 0.01 mL was infused. Peffusion and fixation were followed 3 months after graft and auto-graft was performed in the injured peripheral nerve. The materials were collected for observation from graft area, spinal cord area, injured area on the opposite side and normal neural area.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphology of nerve fibers and neuronal cells in NSC graft area, spinal cord area and non-graft area on opposite injury side.RESULTS: The density and continuity of nerve fibers grown in graft area were higher remarkably than non-graft area on opposite side and more Schwann cells were seen under optic microscope. With amplified ×400 visual field, Ranvier's node of spinal nerve fiber was visible. In addition,mucous matrix and few fibroblasts were seen also in the space of nerve fibers. The survived neuronal cells were no visible in graft area, spinal cord area and non-graft area of sciatic injury on the opposite side.CONCLUSION: Graft of autologus bone-marrow derived neural stem cells in defect area of peripheral area benefits repair of nerve fibers. But the neural stem cells cannot survive as neurons in graft area of peripheral nerve, spinal cord area and the defect control on the opposite side.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To determine the contents of betahistine hydrochloride and the related substances by HPLC.METHODS:The chromatographic separation was performed on Eclipse XDB-C18 column with column temperature at 25 ℃.The mobile phase consisted of water(sodium heptanesulfonate+10 mL triethylamine+810 mL water,with the pH adjusted to 3.0 with phosphoric acid) and methanol(82:18) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL?min-1.The detection wavelength was 261 nm and the sample size was 50 ?L.RESULTS:The linear range of betahistine hydrochloride was 10～80 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 3).The lowest detection limit was 2.84 ?g?mL-1 and the lowest quantitative limit was 3.01 ?g?mL-1.The average recovery was 99.8%(RSD=0.3%).The average content for the related substances in 3 batches of samples was 0.13%.CONCLUSION:The method is simple,rapid,accurate and reliable,and suitable for the quality control of betahistine hydrochloride.
