RESUMO
@#The development of living cell drugs and their successful application in clinical treatments require full clarification of the fate of cells after transplantation, which is critical to the safety and efficacy of living cell drugs.In order to solve this problem, cell imaging technology has come into our sight, and the use of visualization technology for non-invasive tracing of living cell drugs could reveal the distribution, homing and activity of living cell drugs in the body, which helps to determine the best number of transplanted cells, optimize the administration scheme, improve the transplantation efficiency, enhance the targeting of transplanted cells, and reduce the potential off-target accumulation risk.This paper summarizes the research advances of non-invasive visual tracing in vivo for living cell drugs from the perspectives of radionuclide imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic particle imaging, computed tomography imaging, fluorescence imaging and multimodal imaging.The aim is to obtain the biological behavior of living cell drugs in vivo with the application of appropriate contrast agent and tracing technology, and provide a more reasonable scientific basis for the research and development of living cell drugs and their transplantation therapy.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the material basis of conduction along meridian.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty SD rats(30 males,30 females) were randomly assigned into a normal group,an acupuncture group,a verapamil blocking group and a 0.9%NaCl blocking group(control group),15 rats in each one. Fluo 3-AM(calcium fluorescence probe) was injected at the observation part in femoral stomach meridian of foot-(meridian part) and the approaching femoral meridian part(non-meridian part) in the normal group and the acupuncture group,and then incubation was applied. In the verapamil blocking group,verapamil was injected at local meridian part and non-meridian part,and in the control group 0.9%NaCl was injected. Then Fluo 3-AM was injected at the meridian part and non-meridian part in the two groups,and incubation was implemented. Caimaging changes in cells were recorded for more than 20 min after injection of every part in each group respectively. After the above operations in the last three groups,acupuncture was used at "Zusanli"(ST 36) immediately,with electroacupuncture for one min,then Caimaging changes in cells at the meridian and non-meridian parts were recorded for more than 20 min.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the normal group, Cafluorescence intensity at the meridian part was higher than that at the non-meridian part. In the acupuncture group,after acupuncture Cafluorescence intensity at the meridian part was obviously higher than before,but the change before and after acupuncture was not apparent at the non-meridian part. After verapamil blocking local calcium channel and acupuncture,the Cafluorescence of the meridian part did not strengthen,and the change of that before and after acupuncture at the non-meridian part was not obvious. In the control group,after injecting 0.9%NaCl at local part,Cafluorescence intensities of the meridian and non-meridian parts showed no obvious change,so was that before and after acupuncture.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The voltage-gated calcium channel at the meridian part is highly correlated with its tissue cells exciting conduction.</p>
RESUMO
Aim To establish a new,multi-parameter,real time and qualitative cell migration evaluation method.Methods Lung cancer cell line A549 was cultured on the glass bottom dish.After treated with different dosages of berberine or Rg3 for 24 hours,several scratching lines at the same dimension were made and observed by Living Cell Working Station.8 observation areas were selected randomly and imaged continuously for 24 hours.Transferred Area(TA),Transferred Distance(TD),Single Cell Transferred Speed(SCTS)and the Cell Division Number among defined area(CDN)were analyzed after getting sequence images.Results The focus stage and the incubation system were sufficient to keep cell proliferation and made it possible for long term observation.Berberine at 25 μmol·L~(-1) and 12.5 μmol·L~(-1) could inhibit the migration of A549(P<0.01).The analysis results of TA,TD,SCTS and CDN were basically coincident.Rg3 at 0.1 mmol·L~(-1) could inhibit SCTS and promote CDN in 6,12 and 24 h(P<0.01),while decrease both TA and TD in 24 hs.Conclusion The method is sensitive,rapid and simple to be applied in the research of tumor metastasis,wound healing and inflammatory response with real time,in-situ and multi-parameters.
RESUMO
The atomic force microscope (AFM), an indispensable tool on the field of scientific research of life, has been uesd to study the biomacromolecule rescently. The new progress on hyaluronic acid (HA) and tubular myelin (TM) through the tool vas obvious. Thestudy on super-elementary units of chromatin in the nanometer (nm) scale is a base step for the higher level. AFM provided the possibility of killing viras in physical method, with studying on the effect of the mechanical resonances on living cells. As far as the medicine concerned, basic condition of test in clinic pathodogy has been formed in some fields.
RESUMO
Objective:To observe the living cells on the surface of intraocular lenses and to compare the cellular numbers and morphology of prestaining to that of poststaining.Methods:Twenty adult pigment rabbit eyes were given posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.Lenses were extracted and put into 1640 cell cultural liquid immediately on the 1 st,3 rd,7 th,14 th and 28 th day respectively after operatrion.The samples were observed under inverted phase contrast microscope subsequently.Results:We found cells deposited on the surface of lenses from 1 st to 28 th day after operation.These cells contracted and lost three-demensional appearance while its number was less than that of prestaining obviously.Conclusion:A part of cells remove from the surface of lenses during staining;however,we could count the number but could not affirm cellular types which would make error in cellular classification and counting.The fact suggests that we should discover new accurate and reliable methods to avoid mistakes during experiment.
