Transplantation of human amnion epithelial cells improves learning and memory function in Alzheimer's disease-like pathology rat model

AIM: To observe the treatment effect and its immune regulation of human amnion epithelial cells (hAECs) on Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like pathology rat model. METHODS: The hAECs were isolated from amnion with trypsin digestion, and the phenotype of hAECs was analyzed by flow cytometry. SD rats (n=48) were randomly divided into sham control group, model group, medium group and hAECs group. AD-like pathology rat model was induced by bilateral intraventricular injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). hAECs (5×10⁵) were injected into the hippocampus of the AD-like pathology rats. At 2 weeks after transplantation, the animals were tested by Morris water maze to observe the function of learning and memory. The pathological change of the brain was observed by HE staining. The expression of amyloid β-protein 42(Aβ42) and Tau protein and the level of acetylcholine (ACh) in the injury brain were determined by immunohistochemistry. The survival and differentiation of hAECs in the hippocampus were measured by immunofluorescent technique. The percentages of lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The contents of serum cytokines were detected by cytometric bead array. RESULTS: Compared with model group and medium group, hAECs group showed shortened escape latency (P<0.01), increased frequency of going through the platform (P<0.05), reduced loss of hippocampal neurons, decreased expression of Tau protein and Aβ42 in the hippocampus (P<0.05), increased ACh level in the hippocampus (P<0.05), decreased percentages of Th1 and Th17 subsets, increased percentages of Th2 and Treg cells (P<0.05), decreased concentrations of IFN-γ and IL-2 in the serum, and increased concentration of IL-4(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: hAECs improve the cognitive learning and memory function and alleviate pathologic damage of hippocampus through immune regulation in AD-like pathology rats.

一起人布鲁氏菌病的畜间流行病学调查

2021年5月,湖南省长沙市发生一起人布鲁氏菌病疫情,确诊病例有共同暴露史,均接触或食用同一养殖场的羊胎衣。为确定疫情源头,防止疫情蔓延,消除疫情传播风险,通过现场走访询问、实验室检测等方式,对人确诊病例的共同暴露养殖场开展了畜间流行病学调查。调查结果显示:该养殖场饲养的山羊为外地调入且未经检疫,调入后出现疑似布鲁氏菌病症状并死亡;经实验室检测,存栏山羊的布鲁氏菌抗体阳性率为89.66%;相关人员普遍缺乏布病认知,防范意识不足,存在徒手接触羊流产物等情况,以及有食用羊胎衣的习俗。调查认为,养殖户外购未经检疫的羊是本次疫情的源头,相关人员布病防护意识低,对布病缺乏认知,导致感染。疫情确诊后,当地兽医主管部门按规定对存栏羊群进行全部扑杀和无害化处理,对栏舍进行全面彻底清洗消毒,依法查处违规调运等行为,使疫情得到有效控制。本次疫情警示,需要严格落实动物检疫和调运监管制度,做好监测预警,深化健康教育,提高群众自我防护意识,逐步净化消灭布病。

自发气调包装对蜂糖李采后生理及贮藏品质的影响

以蜂糖李为试验材料,采后通过4种不同的自发气调包装处理(PE40、PE30、PE20和微孔),对蜂糖李采后生理和贮藏期品质进行定期测定,研究不同的自发气调包装对蜂糖李采后生理及贮藏期品质的影响。通过对呼吸强度、乙烯释放率、总酚含量、PPO活性、贮藏期的微环境气体成分、果实硬度、可溶性固形物、可滴定酸、褐变指数、腐烂指数、含水率等指标的分析,发现自发气调包装袋的保鲜效果依次为PE40>PE30>PE20>微孔。在0℃条件下,采后用PE40自发气调包装处理对蜂糖李保鲜效果最好。
