  • Recombinant Human Growth Hormone for Idiopathic Short Stature: A Systematic Review

    Objective To evaluate long-term effectiveness of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) for children with idiopathic short stature (ISS). Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about rhGH in treating ISS published from 1985 to 2010 were searched in PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCOHost, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI and VIP. According to the Cochrane Handbook, two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, assessed methodological quality, and conducted meta-analysis using RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 11 RCTs involving 607 ISS children were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the blank/placebo control group after 1-year treatment, the rhGH group resulted in a significant increase in height standard deviation score (SDS) (MD=0.29, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.54, P=0.03), growth velocity (MD=2.68 cm/year, 95%CI 1.70 to 3.65, Plt;0.000 01), and adult SDS (MD=0.46, 95%CI 0.29 to 0.63, Plt;0.000 01). Conclusion rhGH can effectively promote the growth of ISS children. But due to the limitation of quality and small sample size of the included studies, its effectiveness still needs to be further proved by more high quality RCTs.

  • Effect of Cryopreservation and Resuscitation on Biological Characteristics of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Human Umbilical Cord Blood

    Objective  To observe the effects of cryopreservation and resuscitation on the biological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived f rom human umbilical cord blood. Methods  MSCs were isolated and cultured f rom human umbilical cord blood in vitro. The cells were passaged , and the third generation of MSCs were cryopreserved in-196 ℃ liquid nitrogen for 4 weeks with cryopreservation medium , which contained 10 % dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 90 % fetal calf serum ( FCS) . The morphology , proliferation and differentiation of MSCs were investigated and compared with those of MSCs before cryopreservation. Results  There was no significant difference of morphology between pre-cryopreserved MSCs and the ones af ter resuscitation. It was observed that all MSCs were spindle-shaped and showed adherence growth characteristic before and af ter cryopreservation. The cell growth curves of MSCs were also similar before and af ter cryopreservation. Even though the curve of resuscitated MSCs descended a little as compared with that of pre-cryopreserved MSCs , there was no significant difference ( Pgt; 0. 05) . After 2-week adipocytic differentiation induction , fat drops could be found in the kytoplasm of MSCs and they were red when stained with oil-red O staining , which suggested that MSCs could be induced and differentiated into adipocytes. Af ter 4-week osteoblastic differentiation induction , MSCs could be induced and differentiated into osteoblasts , and calcium node showed black when stained with Von Kossa staining. There were no significant changes of the differentiating ability of MSCs into adipocyte and osteoblast before and after cryopreservation. Conclusion  MSCs derived from human umbilical cord blood maintains their biological characteristics af ter cryopreservation and resuscitation.

  • Clinical Application of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone on Obstructive Jaundice

    Objective To observe therapeutical effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on postoperative obstructive jaundice. Methods Fourtyeight patients were divided into two groups randomly: control group with 30 patients and rhGH group with 18 patients. After operation, subcutaneous injection of rhGH was administered 8 U/d for a week. At the same time, parenteral nutrition was given to both groups until the patients could eat and drink. Biochemistry examination, endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor, sIL-2R and nutritional status were all measured at following states: before operation 1, 7 and 14 days after operation. Results Body weights of rhGH group on the fourth day after operation and that of control group on the seventh day after operation increased, but the increasing tendency of rhGH group was more prominent than the control group. For blood sugar 7 days after operation, the level of rhGH group was higher than that of control group (P<0.05). The level of serum albumin, transferrin, prealbumin in rhGH group was higher than that of control goup (P<0.05). Blood serum total bile acid,total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein,glutamicoxal acetic transaminase, transglutaminase, total bilirubin, endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor and sIL-2R were all decreased compared with control group (P<0.01). However, no significant difference was observed in renal function and electrolute between the two groups.Conclusion An improvement of nutrition status and immunologic function can be observed in obstructive jaundice patients after the postoperative administration of rhGH.

  • Target Antigen of Hyperacute Rejection in PigtoHuman Xenotransplantation

    ObjectiveTo investigate the aim antigen coursing the hyperacute rejection of xenotransplantation. MethodsDocuments about hyperacute rejection in xenotransplantation were reviewed and summarized in detail. ResultsPig is thought to be one of the ideal donors of xenotransplantation, but the major obstacle is hyperacute rejection mediated by complement that is activated though human serum. αGal is recognized as the major antigen and its expression is controlled by α1,3 galactosyltransferase. Immunoabsorption of preexsisted antibody, enzymatic digestion of αGal, knockout αGT gene and transgenic technology have been used to solve this problem. Even so, there remain other antigens which can combine with natural antibodies in human serum, such as, 40×103 molecule in erythrocyte, 210×103, 105×103 and 50×103 antigen in pig embryo brain cell, etc. Conclusion αGal is the major antigen which course the hyperacute rejection. Besides αGal, many nonalphagal need further investigation.

  • Effects of Recombinant Human Erythropoietin on Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 Proteins in Hyperoxia-Induced Lung Injury of Adult Rats

    Objective To investigate the effects of recombinant human erythropoietin ( rHuEPO) on expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in hyperoxia-induced lung injury of adult rats. Methods Fortyeight healthy male SD adult rats were randomly divided into six groups. The control group ( 0 h) breathed with room air. The rHuEPO intervention group was put into oxygen chamber and breathed with 100% O2 for 96 h plus intraperitoneal injection of rHuEPO (1000 U/kg) daily. Other four groups were put into oxygen chamber and breathed with 100% O2 for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h respectively. Arterial blood gases were measured to calculate oxygenation index. Wet-to-dry weight ratios of left lung were measured. The contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were assayed with radioimmunoassay. The expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins in the lung were determined withWestern blot and immunohistochemisty. The changes of lung histopathology were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin stain and observed under light microscope. Results After breathing 100% O2 , the oxygenation index decreased gradually and reached minimal value at 96 h. The wet-to-dry weight ratio of left lung increased gradually and reached maximal value at 96 h. The contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in BALF reached maximal value at 48 h and then decreased gradually. The expression of Bax protein increased, but the expression of Bcl-2 protein decreased gradually in the lung. Compared with the 96 h group, the oxygenation index was higher, wet-to-dry weight ratio and contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in BALF decreased, the expression of Bax protein decreased, and the expression of Bcl-2 protein increased in the lung of the rHuEPO group. Conclusion rHuEPO can attenuate hyperoxia-induced lung injury of adult rats by down-regulating expression of Bax protein and up-regulating expression of Bcl-2 protein.
