RESUMO
BACKGROUND:There are many kinds of ways to obtain osteoblasts at present, but how to get high-purity osteoblasts in a easy and fast way has become a hot research. OBJECTIVE:To explore a method to get massive and high purified osteoblasts effectively by comparing three common primary osteoblast culture methods, and to observe the biological characteristics of the osteoblasts from the skul of neonatal rabbit. METHODCalvarias were dissected from newborn New Zealand white rabbits within 24 hours, and osteoblasts were isolated with bone tissue method, col agenase digestion method and modified tryptase and col agenase sequential digestion method respectively, then the cells were subcultured in vitro. Osteoblast proliferation and osteogenic activity were identified by inverted microscope for morphology observation. The rate of living osteobalsts was counted with trypan blue staining. The growth curve of the cells was drawn with MTT method. Alizarin red staining was applied to detect alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin protein in the cellculture supernatants. Col agen I and col agen III immunohistochemical staining was also performed. RT-PCR was used to determine the expression of osteocalcin and col agen I mRNA expression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cultured cells showed highly homogeneous appearance with active proliferation, and they had the typical features of osteoblasts. Alizarin red staining and col agen I immunohistochemical staining were both positive, while col agen III immunohistochemical staining was negative. Alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin protein expression in the cellculture supernatants can be detected. The expression of osteocalcin and col agen I mRNA was positive in the RT-PCR test. Compared with col agenase digestion method, the modified tryptase and col agenase I sequential digestion method cost less time, presented higher production of osteoblasts and higher cellsurvival rate (P<0.05). Bone tissue method was the easiest method and did the least damage to osteoblasts, but it presented lowest production of osteoblasts and cost the maximum time among the three methods. So it cannot be used in large-scale osteoblast culture. A large quantity of high purity osteoblasts were obtained by modified trypsase and col agenase I sequential digestion method, which can be used as a reliable and efficient way to obtain the original generation osteoblasts in vitro.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of TSSC1 in glioma patients and its influence on cell biologi-cal behavior of glioma U87 cells. Methods RT-PCR and Western blot were used to examine the expression of TSSC1 in glioma samples, including 80 normal paraneoplastic tissues and 80 primary tumors. MTT and transwell were used to analyze the effect of TSSC1 knockout on proliferation, migration, and invasion in U87 cells. Results TSSC1 is down-regulated in glioma compared to its paraneoplastic counterparts and negatively related to higher grade. Furthermore, knockdown of TSSC1 expression results in increased proliferation, migration and invasion in U87 cells in vitro. Conclusion Our results may worked as a marker for early diagnosis and prognosis of glioma.
RESUMO
Objective To design and synthesize derivatives of wanpeinine A, the main steroidal alkaloid isolated from the plant Fritillaria shuchengensis, and further study on the structure-activity relationship of the steroidal alkaloid. Methods Acylation and alkylation were used to synthesize the derivatives and their structures were identified via NMR and MS.Results The acylation of wanpeinine A (1) produced 3β,6α-diacetylwanpeinine A (2), 3β,6α-dipropionylwanpeinine A (3), 3β,6α-dichloracetylwanpeinine A (4), 3β,6α-dibenzoylwanpeinine A (5), and 3β-methoxyacylwanpeinine A (6). The alkylation of wanpeinine A formed 3β,6α-dimethoxymethylwanpeinine A (7). Conclusion All compounds are new except for 3β,6α-diacetylwanpeinine A.
RESUMO
It expounded the important position of physique in etiology and process of disease,investigated essence and application of physique in disease control,revealed the classifi cation of physique in three yin three yang.Also it expounded the signif icance of diagnosis of disease in TCM theory and clinical therapy,then revealed basic pathogenesis of diabetes:damaged yin and qi due to inner heat.Then it discussed the syndrome differentiation in the TCM treatment and suggested that it should combine with physique differentiation and diagnosis of disease.At last it expounded the trinity of physique differentiation,diagnosis of disease and syndrome differentiation in treating diabetes and its complication.
