Effects of salvianolic acid B on neurons during oxygen/glucose deprivation and reintroduction

AIM: To observe the damage induced in the primary cultured rat cortical neurons by oxygen/glucose deprivation and reintroduction, and to investigate the neuroprotective mechanism of salvianolic acid B (SalB). METHODS: Primary cultured rat cortical neurons were randomly divided into the control group, the model group and the SalB group. The cell model was established by oxygen/glucose deprivation for 3 h followed oxygen/glucose reintroduction for 24 h. The cortical neurons viability was determined by MTT assay. The leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured by chromatometry. The mitochondrial membrane potentials (MMP) and the apoptosis rate were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry. The cytosolic free calcium was assessed using LSCM. The morphologic changes of neuronal nuclei were observed by Hoechst 33342 fluorescence staining. RESULTS: Compared to the model group, the cortical neurons viability, the survival rate and the fluorescence value of MMP in the SalB group were obviously increased (P<0.05,P<0.01). In addition, in the SalB group, the leakage rate of LDH, the fluorescence intensity of cytosolic free calcium and the apoptosis rate were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The neuroprotective mechanism of SalB in the oxygen/glucose deprivation and reintroduction neurons would be due to the fact that SalB maintains the MMP and the calcium homeostasis.     

Effects of cytokines on renovation of acute renal failure in mouse with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation

AIM: To observe the effects of cytokines on renovation of acute renal failure (ARF) in mouse with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation. METHODS: ARF animal model was induced in mouse by subcutaneous injection of cisplatin. Mice were randomly assigned into 3 groups: normal control group, ARF group and MSC group. After 24 h cisplatin injection, animals were injected intravenously with MSC in MSC group. Animals were sacrificed at 1 d, 4 d, 7 d, 14 d and 28 d after cisplatin injection. The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Scr) were measured. The renal morphologic changes were scored with Paller’s criterion on hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stained sections. The mRNA and protein expressions of HGF, BMP-7, TNF-α and IL-10 were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS: After 4 d of cisplatin injection, the BUN and Scr values in MSC group were significantly lower than those in ARF group (P<0.01). After 7 d and 14 d, the values of BUN and Scr in MSC group were still lower than those in ARF group (P<0.01, P<0.05). The renal morphologic scores of MSC group were also lower than those of ARF group. After 7 d, the expressions of HGF, BMP-7 and IL-10 were higher in MSC group than those in ARF group, the expression of TNF-α in MSC group was lower than that in ARF group. CONCLUSION: MSC promotes the recovery of acute renal failure induced by cisplatin. The mechanism may partly depend on paracrine of growth factor and amelioration of inflammatory.

不同时期重截对大十果桑生长结果的影响

采果结束后对大十果桑结果母枝重截是其夏季修剪的主要内容。结果表明：采果结束时立即对结果母枝留3～4节重截提高次年产量和品质、减小树体、增强树势的综合效果最好。重截过迟,会严重削弱树势,造成次年大幅减产。叶果兼用时,为了克服因集中重截而造成断叶现象,可以在采果结束后30 d以内分期分批对结果母枝重截,对次年产量和品质的影响较小。
