人脂肪干细胞复合脱细胞软骨基质支架在生物反应器中构建组织工程软骨

目的:观察人脂肪干细胞复合脱细胞软骨基质支架在生物反应器中初步构建组织工程软骨的可行性。方法:实验于2005-04/2006-05在解放军总医院骨科研究所完成。脂肪组织和关节软骨均来自膝关节置换术中切除的组织,并经患者知情同意。关节软骨冻干后经粉碎机粉碎,过筛,选取25～38μm大小的软骨微粒。在样品中先加入2.5g/L胰蛋白酶,37℃消化24h,再加入1%Triton X-100震荡72h。将软骨微粒和蒸馏水按1∶3的比例混合后滴加在模板中,置入冷冻干燥机冻干后行紫外线交联。紫外线照射8h完成。最后经25kGy 60Co辐照灭菌完成支架制备。取膝关节置换术中切除的髌下脂肪垫,酶消法获得脂肪干细胞,扩增后复合于脱细胞软骨基质制成圆柱状三维支架上(细胞密度5×1010L-1),置于生物反应器中进行诱导培养,同时设静态培养组作为对照,3周后观测大体形态和组织学形态变化,同时进行组织化学(包括番红花O,阿利新蓝染色)和Ⅱ型胶原免疫组织化学分析。结果:生物反应器组诱导培养3周苏木精-伊红染色显示支架结构消失,只有中心区域残存少量支架结构;静态培养组支架结构尚存在,有少量基质分泌。番红花O染色显示生物反应器组细胞外有大量蛋白聚糖沉积,阿利新蓝染色表明有软骨特异性蛋白多糖的聚集;而静态培养组只有部分区域染色且淡于生物反应器组。Ⅰ型胶原免疫组化的结果显示,在生物反应器组细胞能够合成大量软骨细胞特异性胶原成分,而静态培养组呈弱阳性。结论:生物反应器培养明显促进了脂肪干细胞的增殖与软骨分化,是体外构建组织工程软骨的良好方法。     

丹参酮ⅡA对神经祖细胞系C17．2的保护作用

目的:了解丹参酮ⅡA对神经祖细胞系C17.2的保护作用,探讨其可能的作用机制。方法:本实验于2005年起在广州血液中心器官移植配型中心实验室进行。C17.2祖细胞系由澳大利亚新南威尔士大学解剖教研室David Walsh博士惠赠。将C17.2细胞以1×109L-1的密度接种,用含10%胎牛血清IMDM,37℃、体积分数为0.05CO2、饱和湿度的CO2培养箱培养,接近融合的C17.2细胞用含0.1mmol/LEDTA的胰酶室温消化,按1∶3的比例传代。C17.2细胞以5×107L-1的密度接种于96孔板或25cm2的培养瓶中,用含10%胎牛血清IMDM培养过夜后,加入含4g/L AAPH(水溶性偶氮引发剂2,2'-偶氮二(2-脒基丙烷)二盐酸盐)无血清的IMDM培养基培养建立神经细胞凋亡模型。C17.2细胞以5×103/孔的密度接种于96孔板中,用含10%胎牛血清IMDM培养过夜后,加入含4g/LAAPH无血清的IMDM培养基培养。对照组不加入丹参酮ⅡA,实验组分别加入0.02,0.05,0.1,0.2mg/L丹参酮ⅡA培养8h,噻唑蓝法检测细胞活性:细胞活性的相对值=(实验组吸光度值/对照组吸光度值)×100%,流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡。结果:①AAPH处理8h后,C17.2细胞被过氧化损害,大多数细胞失去正常的形态,细胞呈圆形,脱落。加入丹参酮ⅡA后,细胞形态基本保持正常,少数细胞呈圆形。②C17.2细胞在IMDM的培养液中,细胞数量是含4g/L AAPH无血清的IMDM培养基条件下的2.5～3倍。浓度为0.02,0.05,0.1mg/L的丹参酮ⅡA对C17.2细胞有保护作用,质量浓度大于0.2mg/L丹参酮ⅡA对C17.2细胞保护作用降低。③AAPH作用前大部分C17.2细胞的线粒体完整,有少量的早期凋亡细胞和凋亡细胞,AAPH作用后凋亡细胞总数、凋亡细胞明显增加。丹参酮ⅡA处理组可以明显减少早期凋亡细胞。结论:在体外丹参酮ⅡA对神经细胞具有抗凋亡的作用,可以保护神经细胞。     

应用功能磁共振成像分析脑卒中患者康复治疗前后大脑再塑机制

目的:应用功能磁共振成像观察脑卒中后及康复过程中,在相应脑内运动功能区激活的变化情况,探讨不同运动模式下皮质功能再塑的表现。方法:选取2003-02/10大庆油田总医院康复科住院的皮质下脑梗死患者8例,在发病后1周始进行连续两个月的康复。在康复前、康复1,2个月时运用Brunnstrom分级、Caroll上肢功能量表(0￣100分,评分越高功能越好)对其手功能进行评价,并采用GEMR/iHiSpeed1.5超导磁共振扫描机进行磁共振成像功能激发检查。患者用病手执行简单运动(快速连续的拇指与其他各指的对指动作)、随意运动(用病手摸不同形状的木块),获得脑功能激发图像,观察脑内相关功能区的激活情况。结果:8例受试者均进入结果分析。①康复后所有患者Brunnstrom分级和Caroll上肢功能评分均较康复前有明显改善。②病手简单运动时脑内相关功能区的激活情况:8例受试者7例在损伤后早期手指不能对指,所以没有激活;M1,SMA,PMA脑区和小脑呈现单侧激活-双侧激活-单侧激活的变化过程;随着运动功能恢复,脑内激活数目随时间呈下降趋势,几乎接近正常人脑功能表现。③病手随意运动时脑内相关功能区的激活情况:实验中发现引起的运动相关功能区的激发情况变化多样,规律性较差,但其中5例受试者表现出损伤后激发数目明显减少,许多对运动起决定性支配作用的功能区亦不激活;随着运动功能恢复,激发区数目呈上升趋势,同损伤后简单运动的激活表现。结论:①脑卒中后病手经过康复治疗简单运动恢复较好,康复治疗2个月后脑内运动功能相关区域激活的规律已同正常人。②脑卒中后病手随意运动恢复较困难,康复治疗后不如简单运动恢复好,脑内相关运动功能区激活无明显的规律性。随着运动功能的恢复,脑内相应的运动功能区激活增多。

Pharmacokinetics and cell trafficking dynamics of 2-amino-2-[2-(4-octylphenyl)ethyl]propane-1,3-diol hydrochloride (FTY720) in cynomolgus monkeys after single oral and intravenous doses

The pharmacokinetics and cell trafficking dynamics of 2-amino-2-[2-(4-octylphenyl)ethyl]propane-1,3-diol hydrochloride (FTY720), a novel immunosuppressive agent, were examined in cynomolgus monkeys (three males and three females). After single doses of 0.1 mg/kg p.o. or i.v. bolus and 1 mg/kg p.o. were administered to the animals, the concentrations of FTY720, and the numbers of lymphocytes, CD20+CD2-B cells, and CD2+CD20-T cells in blood were measured over 23 days. A linear three-compartment model characterized the time course of FTY720 concentrations with a terminal half-life of about 31 h, clearance of about 0.53 l/h/kg, and bioavailability of about 38%. The dynamic responses were not area under the curve (or dose) proportional for either males or females. An indirect response model with a distribution pool captured the cell trafficking data for all doses for each cell type, where initial blood counts (R(0)) were about 7650, 2100, and 5250 cells/microl; maximum fractional inhibition (I(max)) about 0.88, 0.85, and 0.91; influx (k(in)) about 6014, 1312, and 5662 cells/microl/h; efflux (k(out)) about 0.798, 0.555, and 1.08 h(-1); intercompartmental k(cp) about 0.134, 0.192, and 0.082 h(-1); and intercompartmental k(pc) rate constants about 3.9 x 10(-4), and 0.016 and 8.9 x 10(-6) h(-1) for lymphocytes, B cells, and T cells, respectively. The inhibition concentration IC(50) was about 0.48 microg/l for all cells, which was remarkably low. The apparent distribution volumes of peripheral pool (V(p)) were markedly larger than blood volume (V(b)) for all cells. The I(max) for cell trafficking was achieved at doses smaller than that producing graft protection, indicating stronger central than peripheral effects of this drug. The profound cell trafficking effects of FTY720 can be readily captured and interpreted with an extended indirect response model.     

Interspecies comparisons of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of recombinant human erythropoietin.

Erythropoietin (EPO) has a highly conserved structure among mammals, and thus recombinant human EPO (rHuEPO) has biological activity in various species. This study explores the interspecies relationships of the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of rHuEPO. The PK parameters such as clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (V(ss)) after i.v. doses of rHuEPO were obtained in several species via noncompartmental analysis and were assessed using the traditional allometric approach. Also, PK/PD modeling of rHuEPO concentrations and responses [reticulocytes, red blood cells (RBCs), and hemoglobin] was performed following a range of i.v. and s.c. doses in rats, monkeys, and humans. Nonlinear disposition (V(max), K(m)) and s.c. absorption rate and bioavailability parameters of rHuEPO were examined. A cascade, indirect, lifespan PD model was applied to recover efficacy (S(max)) and potency (SC(50)) of rHuEPO on erythropoiesis and erythroid cell lifespan parameters. Despite nonlinear rHuEPO disposition, CL and V(ss) were highly correlated with body weight (R(2) > 0.92) with allometric scaling exponents of 0.708 for CL and 0.853 for V(ss). The s.c. bioavailability increased with dose in monkeys and humans but appeared to be dose-independent in rats. A correlation between S(max) or SC(50) and body weight was not obvious. However, RBC lifespans obeyed allometric principles. Size dependence was found for PK and lifespan parameters, whereas pharmacologic parameters were independent of body weight.
