Effects of basic fibroblast growth factor on biological characteristics of osteoblasts

Objective: To elucidate the effects of exogenous basic fibroblast growth factor ( bFGF ) on biological characteristics of rat osteoblasts cultured in vitro. Methods: The osteoblasts isolated from a Sprague-Dawley rat and cultured in vitro were treated with different concentrations of bFGF ( 5-50 ng/ml) respectively. At 24 hours after treatment, the proliferating cell nuclear antigen was measured with immunocytochemistry, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was determined and the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 ( TGF-β1 )was detected to observe the effects of bFGF on growth and differentiation of osteoblasts. Resu/ts: bFGF ( 5-50 ng/ml ) could obviously promote the growth of osteoblasts. The intracellular expression of TGF-β1 mRNA increased significantly, but the intracellular ALP content decreased. Conclusions: bFGF can obviously stimulate the proliferation of osteoblasts and promote the synthesis of TGF-β1, but cannot promote the differentiation of osteoblasts.

Expression of pseudorabies virus gE epitopes in Pichia pastoris and its utilization in an indirect PRV gE-ELISA

Pseudorabies virus glycoprotein E (PRV gE) has been recognized as a suitable diagnostic antigen for pseudorabies. In order to produce gE antigen in large quantities and at low cost, a gene fragment encoding PRV gE epitopes was expressed in Pichia pastoris expression system. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting revealed that the expression product was two recombinant proteins, approximately 38 and 32 kDa, in the culture supernatant of P. pastoris integrant 72 h after induction. Protein concentration assay showed the expression product amounted to 106.7 mg/l, accounting for 66.67% of total culture supernatant proteins. An indirect PRV gE-ELISA was then established by using the recombinant expression product as a coating antigen. Cross-reactivity assay showed that this antigen was PRV specific. Reproducibility experiment displayed good consistency. Comparison of detection results of 348 field serum samples between PRV gE-ELISA and a commercially available PRV diagnostic kit showed there was no significant difference between these two methods (P > 0.05).     

Exact test of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium by Markov chain Monte Carlo.

The assumption of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) among alleles is of fundamental importance in genetic studies. There are numerous testing methods for it using genotype counts data. The exact test is used when the sample size is not large enough for asymptotic approximations. There are several numerical methods to carry out this test, such as complete enumeration, Monte Carlo and Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations. Complete enumeration is impractical in many applications, especially when the table counts are large. The Monte Carlo method is simple to use but still difficult when the table counts become large. The Markov chain Monte Carlo method, by sampling a sub-table each time, is suitable for this latter situation. Based on switches among a few (no more than four) cells, the existing Markov chain samplers are highly dependent and inefficient for large tables. Here we consider a new Markov chain sampling, in which a sub-table of user-specified size is updated at each iteration. The resulting chain is less dependent, and the sampling is flexible and efficient. The conventional test for HWE is based on a few test statistics, such as the likelihood and the chi-squared statistic. To expand the family of test statistics, we consider a class of divergence measures for the departure of HWE. Examples are given as illustrations.

HPLC analysis of 16 compounds from Artemisia ordosica

Objective: To establish a high-performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) for the simultaneous determination of sixteen compounds from Artemisia ordosica. Methods: HPLC was used to analyze 16 quality indicators of A. ordosica. The HPLC conditions were as follows: Agilent Eclipse Plus C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with acetonitrile (A)-water (B) as mobile phase, gradient elution: 0?10 min, 75%?65% B; 10?30 min, 65%?35 % B; and finally 30?40 min, 35%?15% B.

出生队列是研究生命早期暴露对健康结局影响的重要工具, 但目前缺乏有力支撑孕前暴露特别是父系暴露对生殖健康和妊娠结局影响研究的大型队列平台。重庆市孕前生殖健康与出生结局队列研究是起始于孕前阶段, 同等关注男女双方的环境、心理、行为等暴露因素对生殖健康和不良妊娠结局影响的前瞻性队列研究。项目于2019年正式启动, 计划招募有生育意愿的育龄夫妇20 800人。通过随访, 调查志愿者2年内是否自然受孕。对进入妊娠期的女性志愿者, 在孕早、中、晚期进一步随访, 并对分娩的子代随访至2岁, 监测早产、低出生体重、出生缺陷、神经功能发育障碍等结局发生情况。各阶段分别采集相应的数据信息和生物样本, 包括精液、外周血、尿液、胎盘、脐带、脐带血、口腔拭子等。截至2022年1月, 已纳入志愿者8 698人, 分布于重庆市所有38个区/县。本队列建设目标是成为涵盖父母双方的前瞻性大样本孕前出生队列, 将以独特的设计和更加全面的视角阐明全生育周期特别是孕前期暴露因素对生殖健康和不良出生结局的影响及机制。     

烧伤后血清触珠蛋白对T淋巴细胞功能的影响

采用亲和层析法从烧伤血清纯化触珠蛋白（Ｈａｐｔｏｇｌｏｂｉｎ，ＨＰ）后，体外观察了纯化ＨＰ对正常小鼠胸腺细胞在ｃｏｎＡ刺激下增殖与ＩＬ－２产生及对ＩＬ－２诱导的ＩＬ－２依赖细胞株（ＣＴＬＬ－２）增殖的影响。结果表明，纯化ＨＰ在相当于烧伤血清ＨＰ浓度时，对小鼠胸腺细胞增殖、ＩＬ－２产生及ＣＴＬＬ－２增殖具有非常明显的抑制作用；但在相当于正常血清ＨＰ浓度时纯化ＨＰ则无抑制作用。提示烧伤血清高浓度的ＨＰ可能是烧伤后Ｔ淋巴细胞免疫功能低下的一个重要原因。     

Changes in tissue metals after cadmium intoxication and intervention with chlorpromazine in male rats

Cadmium(Cd),one of the most dangerous heavy metals,has a very similar ionic radius to calcium(Ca),The interference of cadmium in calcium homeostasis may play an important role in cadmium toxicity.Recent reports indicate that calmodulin(CaM) inhibitors such as trifluoperazine and chlorpromazine(CPZ) could protect rodents against cadmium toxicity,It was also reported that pretreatment of mice with zine(Zn)could reduce the adverse effects induced by cadmium.The aim of this study is to determine whether Cd changes the balance of other essential metals such as Zn and copper(Cu) in rat tissues,and whether CPZ can reverse these changes which are induced by cadmium intoxication.Adult male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were injected intraperitoneally(ip) with cadmium chloride(CdCl2)(0.2,0.4,0.8mg Cd/kg body wight) alone and 0.4mg Cd/kg in association with CPZ(5mg/kg) daily for a week.The control animals were injected with normal saline only.The results showed that the cadmium content in the liver,kidney,and testis increased significantly with a dose-response relationship.Cadmium treatment markedly increased the Zn and Ca content in some of the tissues,Hepatic and renal metallothionein(MT) increased significantly after cadmium intoxication,CPZ treatment,howerver,reduced cadmium content in liver,but not blood and kidney.CPZ seemed to decrease the content of MT in liver and significantly increase the amounts of MT in kidney.These data suggest that the intervention of cadmium with tissue essential metals may play a role in cadium toxicity in rats,and calmodulin inhibitors to some extent can reduce the adverse effect of cadmium by decreasing the cadmium load in tissues and reversing the unbalance of essetial metals.
