目的:观察成年大鼠骨髓基质细胞诱导新生大鼠中脑神经干细胞分化为神经元的机制。方法:采用骨髓基质细胞和神经干细胞共培养方法,通过显微镜观察神经干细胞的分化状态;使用免疫组织化学技术,分析神经元在神经干细胞后代中所占的比例。结果:(1)骨髓基质细胞可诱导神经干细胞分化为高比例神经元;(2)骨髓基质细胞可促进神经元的存活。结论:骨髓基质细胞可提供神经干细胞分化为神经元和促进神经元存活的信号物质。     

Fine-needle aspiration cytology of pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breast

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is an uncommon lesion usually found in premenopausal women. Histologically, it is characterized by complex, anatomosing, empty slit-like spaces in a dense collagenous stroma. These pseudoangiomatous spaces are lined by monomorphic spindle cells of myofibroblastic differentiation. Cytological features of PASH are rarely discussed and reported, and may pose diagnostic challenge to surgical pathologists. Two cases of PASH are reported with emphasis on the FNAC features and cytologic differentiation from other benign fibroepithelial lesions.

骨髓基质细胞促进永久性局灶性脑缺血大鼠脑室下区的神经发生

目的 探讨移植骨髓基质细胞(BMSCs)对永久性局灶性脑缺血大鼠脑室下区(SVZ)细胞增殖的影响及其增殖细胞类型分析. 方法制作永久性局灶性脑缺血大鼠模型,分为空白对照组(MCAO)、PBS对照组(MCAO PBS)和治疗组(MCAO BMSCs),每组动物再分为脑缺血后7d和14d亚组.空白对照组不予处理,PBS对照组在脑缺血后1d移植PBS,治疗组在脑缺血后1d移植BMSCs.用Zausinger六分法检测神经功能恢复情况;注射5-溴脱氧鸟嘧啶核苷(BrdU)标记SVZ的新增殖细胞,免疫荧光双重标记检测新增殖细胞的类型. 结果在脑缺血后7d和14d,与两个对照组相比,治疗组的神经功能评分较高,有显著性差异(P<0.05);脑缺血后14d,治疗组的大鼠患侧SVZ的BrdU阳性细胞较其余两组高,存在显著差异(P<0.05);免疫荧光双重标记显示,新增殖细胞表达神经元和星形胶质细胞的标志物,提示新增殖细胞为神经元和神经胶质细胞的混合体. 结论 BMSCs可以改善永久性局灶性脑缺血大鼠的神经功能,其机制可能与促进SVZ的神经细胞增殖有关.     

人早孕母胎界面SOCS1、SOCS2、SOCS3表达

目的：研究正常早孕绒毛及蜕膜组织细胞因子信号转导负调控因子（Suppressors of cytoldne signaling，SOCS）基因和蛋白水平表达，以揭示SOCS在母胎界面生理性调节作用。方法：半定量RT-PCR检测早孕绒毛组织、蜕膜组织及原代培养早孕滋养细胞、蜕膜基质细胞SOCS1、SOCS2、SOCS3 mRNA水平；Western blot检测早孕绒毛组织及蜕膜组织SOCS1、SOCS2、SOCS3蛋白表达；免疫组化定位SOCS1、SOCS2、SOCS3在早孕绒毛组织、蜕膜组织表达；ELISA检测滋养细胞、蜕膜基质细胞分泌IL-10、IFN-γ。结果：正常母胎界面见SOCS1、SOCS2、SOCS3基因表达，其中SOCS3绒毛／蜕膜阳性率73．7％／71．1％；SOCS2绒毛／蜕膜阳性率50．0％／39．5％，SOCS1最少，绒毛／蜕膜阳性率34．2％／31．6％；SOCS1、SOCS2、SOCS3蛋白表达与转录水平基本一致；正常母胎界面SOCS1、SOCS2、SOCS3表达主要定位于绒毛滋养细胞和蜕膜间质；体外无血清培养滋养细胞和蜕膜基质细胞SOCS2、SOCS3低表达，SOCS1未见表达，其分泌的IL-10随时间而增高（P〈0．05）。结论：正常早孕母胎界面表达SOCS1、SOCS2、SOCS3，无刺激条件下滋养细胞和蜕膜基质细胞低表达SOCS2、SOCS3，SOCS在正常妊娠Th平衡中具有重要意义。     

Numerous eosinophilic globules (skeinoid fibers) in a duodenal stromal tumor: An exceptional case showing smooth muscle differentiation

A unique case of duodenal stromal tumor In a 51-year-old man is reported. The tumor histologically showed spindle cell proliferation and numerous eosinophilic globules. Most globules were composed of tangled 45 nm thick fibrils, which were ultrastructurally Identical to 'skelnoid fibers'. The presence of glycogen granules in the tumor cells and the Immunoreactivity for α-smooth muscle actin suggested smooth muscle differentiation. Focal ultrastructural findings also supported the smooth muscle nature of this tumor. There were no immunohistochemical and ultra-structural features indicating neural differentiation. In previous studies, the presence of such 'skeinoid fibers' was suggested to be a histological marker for neural differentiation in gastrointestinal stromal tumor. However, the findings In the present case suggest that numerous 'skeinoid fibers' can be Identified in duodenal stromal tumor with smooth muscle differentiation, although this condition may be rare.     

B cell development is perturbed in bone marrow from c-fos/v-jun doubly transgenic mice

c-fos and c-jun gene products form a heterodimeric complex (AP-1)that regulates target gene expression by binding to a specificDNA sequence motif. In order to study a role of AP-1 (Fos/Jun)in growth and differentiation of immature B lineage cells, wehave established and mated two independent transgenic mice carryingthe mouse c-fos gene or the viral v-Jun gene fused to the H-2Kpromoter. IL-7 dependent bone marrow cell culture from doublytransgenic (H2-fos/jun) mice demonstrated severe delay of earlyB cell development. Proliferation of pre-B cells in the freshbone marrow from HZ-fos/jun mice to IL-7 stimulation was verylow. These results suggest that the deregulated production ofAP-1 perturbs IL-7 mediated proliferation and differentiationof immature B cells.
