[Culture and characterization of spontaneous ascites cells isolated from Microtus fortis].

OBJECTIVE: To isolate and culture the spontaneous ascites cells from Microtus fortis under artificial conditions, so as to investigate the molecular mechanism at the cell level. METHODS: The cells were isolated from spontaneous ascites of M. fortis artificially bred for 90 d, and were cultured and observed under a microscope. The differences of ascites cells among normal, spontaneous ascites and schistosomiasis infected samples of M. fortis were compared. The lesion of tissue was observed simultaneously. RESULTS: There were no obvious organ tissue lesions in M. fortis with spontaneous ascites, and the number and types of cells in peritoneal fluid were irregular and significantly changed. With the extension of culture time, the colonies appeared and there were a large number of vacuole-like cells in the cultured medium and sequentially presenting proliferation, deformation, disintegration and the fiber-like changes and could be passaged 3-4 d only. CONCLUSIONS: The cells from M. fortis with spontaneous ascites are similar to its abdominal cavity cells after infection of Schistosoma japonica.

Changes of Hematoxin,Lipopolysaccharide,Lipopolysaccharide Binding Protein/Membrane CD_(14) in Children with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome / 实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of hematoxin,lipopolysaccharide(LPS),lipopolysaccharide binding protein(LBP)/membrane CD14(mCD14) in occurrence and development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) in children.Methods Serum LPS,LBP,mean fluorescence intensity(MFI) of mCD14 on monocytes of 30 patients with SIRS were measured,at the same time 21 healthy children had been chosen to serve as control group.Results Compared with control group,the serum LPS,LBP,MFI of mCD14 on monocytes of patients with SIRS were significantly higher(Pa

Change of Serum Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1? in Newborn Infants with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy / 实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore the roles of macrophage inflammatory protein-1?(MIP-1?)in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE)of newborn infarnts.Methods Serum samples were obtained in 24,72 h and 7 d after birth respectively from 34 newborn infants with HIE,and 20 newborn infants without HIE as control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method was used to determine the serum concentrations of MIP-1?.Results Levels of MIP-1? in newborn infants with HIE [(12.47?2.51)ng/L]were significantly higher than that of newborn infants without HIE [(8.63?2.63)ng/L](P0.05).Conclusions MIP-1? are involved in HIE of neonates,and the more severe damage,the higher levels in serum,which suggests that,as an inflammatory mediator,the MIP-1? may play an important role in involvement of brain hypoxic-ischemic damage.
