RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the significance of detecting the level of CRP,TNF-α,IL-6 and IGF-1 in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods Sixty patients with T2DM in the Pingliang Municipal People′s Hospital from February 2013 to March 2015 were selected as the observation group And contemporaneous 60 individuals undergoing healthy physical exami-nation were selected as the control group.The levels of FBG,2 hBG,FINS,HbA1c,CRP,TNF-α,IL-6 and IGF-1 were detected in these two groups.The correlation between CRP,TNF-α,IL-6 and IGF-1 with FBG,FINS and HbA1c were analyzed.Results The levels of FBG,2 hBG and HbA1c in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The FINS level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group,the difference has statistically significant (P<0.05).The levels of CRP,TNF-α,IL-6 and IGF-1 in the observation group were (8.46±2.45)mg/L,(18.56±4.23)ng/L,(13.53±3.24)pg/L and (125.33±23.14)ng/L respectively,which were signifi-cantly higher than (3.23±1.02)mg/L,(11.25±3.01)ng/L,(7.24±1.78)pg/L and (98.45±18.56)ng/L in the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).CRP,TNF-αand IL-6 were positively correlated with FBG,FINS and HbA1c;IGF-1 was negatively correlated with FBG and HbA1c.Conclusion Detecting the CRP,TNF-α,IL-6 and IGF-1 levels can provide a basis for the diagnosis of T2DM and thinking for its treatment.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:More recently, studies have demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s can be induced in vitro to differentiate into neuron-like cel s that are used for in vivo transplantation to repair nerve damage. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on learning and memory ability of senile dementia rats. METHODS:Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups:normal control group, stem cel therapy group and model control group. Rats in the latter two groups were used to establish animal models of senile dementia by intracranial injection ofβ-amyloid 1-40. Three weeks after modeling, rats were given bilateral hippocampal injection of induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel suspension in the stem cel therapy group, whereas no treatment was given in the normal control and model control groups. Morris water maze test was used to detect learning and memory ability of rats, and rat’s brain tissues were detected pathological y using hematoxylin-eosin staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After modeling, the escape latency was higher and the cross-platform frequency was lower in the model control group compared with the normal control group. After cel transplantation, the escape latency and cross-platform frequency were gradual y shortened and increased with time, respectively. Compared with the model control group, the learning and memory abilities of rats were improved in the stem cel therapy group. The brain tissues were relatively intact in structure and exhibited less cel degeneration and necrosis in the stem cel therapy group compared with the model control group. To conclude, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation exerts certain therapeutic effects on senile dementia by effectively improving the learning and memory ability.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:Neural stem cel transplantation has been used to treat a series of brain injury diseases, such as cerebral palsy, but its effect on Alzheimer’s disease is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of neural stem cel transplantation on the behavior and immune regulating system of Alzheimer’s disease rats. METHODS:Thirty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were enrol ed to make a postcerebral incision and given hippocampal injection of amanita phal oides acid to establish rat models of Alzheimer’s disease. Another 10 rats were only given hippocampal injection of normal saline after preparation of postcerebral skin incision as sham operation group. Then 32 successful rat models were randomly divided into two groups (n=16 per group):rats in experimental group were administrated hippocamal injection of 5×109/L al ogeneic neural stem cel suspension;those in model group were given no injection. Five-day Morris water maze test was conducted at 4 weeks after transplantation. At 1 week after Morris water maze test, levels of interleukin-1 and interleukin-10 in the cerebral homogenate were detected, as wel as pathological changes of brain tissues were observed in the three groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, the abilities of cognition and memory were significantly higher in the sham operation group (P<0.01), and the abilities of spatial learning and memory were significantly higher in the experimental group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Levels of interleukin-1 and interleukin-10 in the model group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group (P<0.01) but significantly lower than those in the experimental group ( P<0.01). Besides, the number of neurons in the model group was obviously less than that in the experimental and sham operation group. These results indicate that neural stem cell transplantation supplements and protects neurons against Alzheimer's disease in rats, thereby significantly improving the learning and memory ability.
