After neurolysis, the injured radial nerve was enwrapped with the prepared nerve conduit, which was fixed to the epineurium by sutures, with the cell on the inner surface of the conduit. Simultaneously, a 1.0 mL aliquot of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell suspension was injected into the distal and proximal ends of the injured radial nerve with 1.0 cm intervals. A total of 1.75 x 107 cells were seeded on the amniotic membrane. In the control group, patients received only neurolysis. At 12 weeks after cell transplantation, more than 80% of patients exhibited obvious improvements in muscular strength, and touch and pain sensations. In contrast, these improvements were observed only in 55-65% of control patients. At 8 and 12 weeks, muscular electrophysiological function in the region dominated by the injured radial nerve was significantly better in the transplantation group than the control group. After cell transplantation, no immunological rejections were observed. These findings suggest that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-loaded amniotic membrane can be used for the repair of radial nerve injury.展开更多

Bone marrow suppressed mice were made by injection of CY (150 mg/kg) parenterally. Subcutaneous injection of PTGS three days earlier partially restored the number and the activity of bone marrow cells, significantly enhanced the production of IL-1, IL- 3 and IL- 6 like substances and promoted the reactivity of murlne spleen cells to Con-A In bone marrow suppressed mice.展开更多

The results showed that the spin density of the free radical was 36(±058)×1012 spins/mL tear, the content of the superoxide dismutase(SOD) was 384(±145) ng/mL tear, the opposite fluorescent density of the water soluble lipid peroxide was 12912(±1691) U/mL tear in normal tears. The normal values are 25—48×1012 spins/mL tear for free radical, 239—529 ng/mL tear for SOD, 9598—16225 U/mL tear for water soluble lipid peroxide. There are significant differences in different eyes, different sexes and different ages. The free radical and lipid peroxide are higher obviously in the tears of patients with Moorens ulcer and rejected corneal grafts, compared with those of the normal control subjects(P<001), SOD is lower evidently(P<001). The above fact shows the pathogenic mechanism of Moorens ulcer and keractoplasty rejection is significantly related to toxicities injuring effect of the free radical. These results have provided important experimental data for studying lacrimalogy and new methods for clinical diagnosis and treatrment.展开更多

The result showed that, not only loop 1-3, but also the smaller fragment loop 2-3 could bind to hVEGF165. Recombinant expression plasmids pPIC9K/Flt-1(1-3) and pPIC9K/Flt-1 (2-3) were constructed and transformed to Pichia. pastoris host strain GS115, cultured in flasks, and expressed under the induction of 1 % methanol. The expressed product existed in supernatant in the form of soluble molecules and contained more than 60% of total protein after being induced for 4d. After being purified by CM-Sepharose FF and Sephacryl S-100 chromatography, its purity reached above 90%. Biological assay in vitro showed that the binding capacity of expressed soluble Flt-1 (2-3) to hVEGF165 and its inhibiting effect on the proliferation of human umbilical veins endothelial cells (HUVEC) stimulated with hVEGF165 were close to those of sFlt-1(1-3). Animal test showed that sFlt-1(2-3) could inhibit the formation of regenerate blood vessels stimulated with hVEGF165 significantly.展开更多

In recent years, it has been found that all the saponins the ginseng fruit contains are effective in resisting fatigue, reducing symptoms of oxygen deficit and preventing arteriosclerosis caused by excessive amount of cholesterol in the blood. So the dammarane-type saponins of the ginseng fruit have been studied. Eight such monomer展开更多

The new evidence indicates that NPY and the receptor of NPY exist in the field CA3 of the rat hippocampus, but cardiovascular effect of NPY on CA3 of hippocampus is still unknown. We have studied the cardiovascular effect on CA3 in the anaesthetized Wistar rats injected with NPY.Among 6 rats, the basal levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR)展开更多
