Postnatal Osteological Development of the Hyoid Bone in the New Zealand White Rabbit

This study augments knowledge of bone growth by observing the development of the hyoid bone in the New Zealand White rabbit. Preserved hyoid bones representing five different age periods, each period including five individuals and the total number of animals being 25, were fixed in 3.5% formaldehyde solution and 95% ethanol, followed by a pure acetone bath. They were then stained with an alcian blue–alizarin red combination. The mode of bone formation was intracartilaginous type ossification. While the basihyoideum and thyrohyoideum were observed to start ossifying first at prenatal stage, indicating that they are the main skeletal structures of the hyoid apparatus, the ceratohyoideum and lingual process began to ossify in the second and third periods. The separately occurring primary ossification centres fused completely among themselves in the fifth period. Because no further ossification centers were observed and the ossified parts continued the development and growth, the research was terminated after 10 weeks of age.     

Development of cell model of polymer/liquid crystal and effect of their elasticity on adhesion of rBM-MSCs

AIM: To develop the cell model of polymer/liquid crystal and to study the effect of their elasticity on the adhesion of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBM-MSCs). METHODS: Using the method of solvent evaporation induced phase separation, the cell model of polymer/liquid crystal was constructed. The surface morphology and phase separation structure were determined by polarized optical microscopy (POM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). rBM-MSCs were separated and expanded by adherent culture. The surface markers of rBM-MSCs were detected by flow cytometry. The cells were induced to osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation for 2 weeks. After 3 passages, the cells were divided into 4 groups, including total PU control group, 10% membrane group, 30% membrane group and 50% membrane group. The cells were then incubated with rhodamine phalloidin for cytoskeleton staining and were observed under the confocal laser scanning microscope after cultured for 24 h. RESULTS: The cell model of polymer/liquid crystal was constructed successfully using the method of solvent evaporation induced phase separation. Flow cytometry results showed that the rBM-MSCs positively expressed CD29, CD44 and CD90, and negatively expressed CD34 and CD45. After stained with alizarin red S and oil red O, the calcium nodule and lipid droplets in rBM-MSCs were observed obviously. The cytoskeleton staining result indicated that the area in total PU control group, 10% membrane group and 30% membrane group were greater, and the actin microfilaments were also clearer than that in 50% membrane group. CONCLUSION: The cell model with suitable content of liquid crystal made a contribution to the rBM-MSCs' adhesion, but too much liquid crystal inhibits cell adhesion.

小尾寒羊BMP15基因多态性及其与高繁殖力关系的研究

以控制Belclare、Cambridge、Hanna、Inverdale和Lacaune绵羊高繁殖力的骨形态发生蛋白15基因(bonemorpho-geneticprotein15,BMP15)为候选基因,根据绵羊BMP15基因全序列设计6对引物覆盖全部的外显子,采用PCR-SSCP方法检测BMP15基因在高繁殖力绵羊品种(小尾寒羊)和低繁殖力绵羊品种(多赛特羊)中的多态性,同时研究该基因对小尾寒羊高繁殖力的影响。结果表明,只有外显子1的第1对引物扩增片段具有多态性,其余5对引物扩增片段都没有多态性。在127只小尾寒羊母羊和30只多赛特母羊中都检测到两种基因型(AA和AB)。统计结果表明,小尾寒羊和多赛特羊AA基因型频率分别为0.638和0.800,AB基因型频率分别为0.362和0.200。测序结果表明,AB基因型和AA基因型相比在cDNA第28bp处缺失了3个碱基(CTT),小尾寒羊和多赛特绵羊都发生了与Belclare、Cambridge、Hanna和Inverdale绵羊相同的CTT缺失突变。AB基因型小尾寒羊平均产羔数比AA基因型多0.20只,但差异不显著(P>0.05)。研究结果提示,BMP15基因的CTT缺失突变对小尾寒羊高繁殖力没有显著影响。
