RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome (hucMSC-ex) on proliferation, migration, apoptosis and autophagy in ischemia-anoxia neurons, and to provide a theoretical study for clinical research on stroke.Methods:Primary glial cells were cultured and OGD model was established. Then, these cells were incubated with huMSC-exosome. The inhibition rate of proliferation was detected by MTT assay. Apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry. The expressions of apoptosis related proteins were confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot. The expressions of autophagy related proteins and PI3K/Akt signal were observed by Western blot. The data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 software, multiple-group comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA, and SNK- q test was used for pairwise comparison between groups. Results:MTT assay showed that OGD could inhibit cell proliferation of primary glial cells. After incubation with hucMSC-ex for 2 h, the inhibition rate of cell proliferation was lower than that of the control. The flow cytometry technology showed that hucMSC-ex reduced cell apoptosis. The cell migration experiments showed that OGD reduced cell migration capacity, but cell migration increased after exosomal incubation. RT-PCT and Western blot showed that OGD induced autophagy and apoptosis, hucMSC-ex activated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, inhibited the expression of Bax and Caspase-3 (both P<0.05), and promoted the expression of Bcl-2 ( P<0.05). hucMSC-ex inhibited the expression of Beclin-1, Atg3 and LC3-Ⅱ(al l P<0.01). Conclusions:huMSC-exosome promote the proliferation and migration in ischemia-anoxia-injured neurons and inhibit the apoptosis and autophagy. The mechanism that hucMSC-ex repaired the injured nerve cells might be associated with PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
RESUMO
Objective To assess the influence between managements in emergency room(ER) andoutcome of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI),in order to provide inference for treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in severe TBI patients and recorded next indexes.(1) The managements in ER,including endotracheal intubation and oxygenation,fluid resuscitation,and mannitol intake.(2) The vital signs arriving at ICU,including systolic pressure and blood oxygen saturation.(3) Prognostic indicators including inhospital mortality and days during ICU,the scores of Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at discharge and 6 months after injury.Results In 140 severe TBI patients,65 patients (46.4％) died during ICU.The mortality of patients with endotracheal intubation [65.0％ (39/60)] was significantly higher than that without endotracheal intubation [32.5％(26/80)](P＜ 0.01).The mortality in whether fluid resuscitation and using mannitol had no significant difference [44.7％ (46/103) vs.51.4％ (19/37),49.2％ (31/63) vs.44.2％ (34/77)] (P ＞0.05).In days during ICU,there was no significant difference among the three treatment measures (P＞ 0.05).In GOS grade at discharge and 6 months after injury,the proportion of 4 and 5 grade were 8.3％ (5/60) and 25.0％ (15/60) in patients with endotracheal intubation,while 27.5％ (22/80) and 52.5％ (42/80) in patients without endotraeheal intubation (P ＜ 0.01).In fluid resuscitation and using mannitol patients,there were no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Treating severe TBI patients in ER,endotracheal intubation should be carefully chosen,fluid resuscitation and mannitol may not be given.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between the serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the short-term clinical outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods Consecutive patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage admitted within 24 hours after onset were prospectively included.SUA levels was measured on the next morning after admission.Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to ascertain clinical outcome at 30 days.The patients were divided into a good outcome group (mRS＜2) and poor outcome group (mRS≥3).Results A total of 92 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage were included,and 46 of them (50％) were men,the mean age was 63 ± 12 years.At 30 days after onset,22 patients (23.9％) had a good outcome and 70 patients (76.1％) had a poor outcome.Univariate analysis showed that the Glasgow Come Scale (GCS) score in the good outcome group was significantly higher than that in the poor outcome group (13.85 ± 2.80 vs.11.21 ± 2.51; t=4.186,P=0.000),while hematoma volume (25.65 ±5.33 cm3 vs.34.60± 8.97 cm3,t=4.430,P=0.000) and SUA levels (324.90± 86.02 μmol/L vs.458.63 ±72.77 μmol/L; t =7.193,P =0.000) were significantly lower than those in the poor outcome group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the lower GCS score (odds ratio [OR]1.810,95％ confidence interval [CI]1.382-2.382; P =0.001),larger hematoma volume (OR 1.156,95％ CI 1.045-1.280; P=0.005) and higher SUA levels (OR 2.127,95％ CI 1.055-4.287; P=0.035) were the independent predictive factors for the short-term clinical outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.Conclusions The increased SUA levels may predict the poor short-term clinical outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze and compare the incidence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) in patients with aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage(aSAH) in China and in Europe.Methods A literature search was performed for all the papers investigating the incidence,diagnosis, treatment or prognosis of CVS after aSAH using the MEDLINE and China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI) from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2010.The incidences of angiographic CVS, symptomatic CVS and CVS-related infarcts were recorded.The incidences of CVS between Chinese and white men in Europe were compared. Results A total of 237 articles were searched via CNKI and reference reviews, and 9 of the studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 172 articles were searched via MEDLINE and reference reviews, and 18 of the studies met the inclusion criteria. The risk of occurring symptomatic CVS in patients with aSAH in Chinese was significantly higher than that in white men in Europe (relative risk,2. 063, 95％ confidence interval 1.816-2. 343, P ＜0. 001). Conclusions The incidence of CVS in patients with aSAH in Chinese was significantly higher than that in white men in Europe,indicating the pathogenesis of CVS may have genetic basis.
