Cell integrity indicators assessed by bioelectrical impedance: A systematic review of studies involving athletes

IntroductionBioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been used to evaluate cellular health and integrity through bioelectrical indicators. In the sporting context, monitoring these indicators can be useful to assess the quality and vitality of cells and body tissues.ObjectiveThe aim of this systematic review was to investigate indicators of cellular health and integrity evaluated by BIA in athletes.MethodsSearches were performed in December 2017 in the Lilacs, Medline, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.ResultsThe searches retrieved 31 articles (30 involving professional athletes and one involving university athletes). In longitudinal studies (n = 15), the bioelectrical parameters directly associated with cellular health and integrity were extracellular water (ECW), phase angle (PA), BIA vector analysis (BIVA), crude reactance data (Xc), resistance (R), and ECW/BCM ratio. Regarding the findings of cross-sectional studies (n = 16), the investigated parameters (ECW, PA, BIVA, Z, BCM, and ECW/BCM) were directly associated with gender, age, sports performance level, modality, and game position.ConclusionsIn the included studies, the cellular health and integrity indicators were: Z, Xc, R, total water, intracellular water, ECW, PA, BIVA, BCM, and ECW/BCM.

BMP7腺病毒基因转染对骨髓基质干细胞生物学的影响

目的 探讨BMP7腺病毒基因转染对骨髓基质干细胞(BMSCs)的体外、体内的生物学功能影响.方法 抽取羊的骨髓,分离、培养骨髓基质干细胞.用重组骨形成蛋白7腺病毒(adenovirus bone morphogenetic protein 7;Adeno-BMP7)转染(M.O.I=100)70%～80%融合时的第二代细胞,三天后分别进行透射电镜观察、流式细胞仪检测、Western-blot、钙结节染色以及珊瑚和细胞复合物皮下回植.结果 在体外:细胞超微结构观察显示Adeno-BMP7基因转染后的BMSCs的物质合成代谢功能活跃;流式细胞仪检测表明Adeno-BMP7基因转染对BMSCs的细胞周期无明显影响;Western-blot检测证明转染Adeno-BMP7后的BMSCs有BMP7在蛋白水平上的表达;染色表明转染Adeno-BMP7后的BMSCs可形成较大的钙结节.在体内:转染Adeno-BMP7的BMSCs可明显促进新骨的形成,与没转染Adeno-BMP7的BMSCs有差异.结论 Adeno-BMP7转染可促进BMSCs的体外成骨定向分化,Adeno-BMP7转染后的BMSCs具有更强的体内成骨能力.     

Membrane-seeded autologous chondrocytes: cell viability and characterization at surgery

The implantation of chondrocytes, seeded on matrices such as hyaluronic acid or collagen membranes, is a method that is being widely used for the treatment of chondral defects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the distribution, viability and phenotype expression of the cells seeded on a collagen membrane just at the time of the implantation. Twelve patients who were suffering from articular cartilage lesions were treated by the MACI^® procedure. The residual part of each membrane was tested by colorimetric assay (MTT) and histochemical and ultrastructural analyses were carried out. In all of the samples a large number of viable cells, quite homogenously distributed, was detected. The cells expressed the markers of the differentiated hyaline chondrocytes. These data reassure in that the MACI procedure provides a suitable engineered tissue for cartilage repair, in line with the clinical evidences emerging in the literature.
