The differences in the contents of nerve injury indexes in serum and platelet activation markers in peripheral blood were compared between the two groups before treatment, after 3 d of treatment and after 7 d of treatment.Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the contents of nerve injury indexes in serum and platelet activation markers in peripheral blood between the two groups before treatment. After 3 d of treatment and after 7 d of treatment, copeptin, H-FABP and NSE contents in serum of danhong injection group were lower than those of routine group whereas BDNF and bFGF contents were higher than those of routine group;CD62p, CD42b, PAC-1 and PMA contents in peripheral blood were lower than those of routine group.Conclusion: Conventional therapy combined with adjuvant danhong injection therapy can effectively reduce the degree of nerve injury and inhibit the platelet activation in patients with acute cerebral infarction.展开更多

Cell based therapies are experimented in pre-clinical studies around the world. Neural stem cells are located intra-craniafly in subventricular zone and hippocampus which are highly invasive sourc- es. The olfactory epithelium is a neurogenic tissue where neurogenesis takes place throughout the adult life by a population of stem/progenitor cells. Easily accessible olfactory neuroepithelial stem/progenitor cells are an attractive cell source for transplantation in SCI. Globose basal cells (GBCs) were isolated from rat olfactory epithelium, characterized by flow cytometry and immunohistochemically. These ceils were further studied for neurosphere formation and neuronal induction. T10 laminectomy was done to create drop-weight SCI in rats. On the 9th day following SCI, 5 × 105 cells were transplanted into injured rat spinal cord. The outcome of transplantation was assessed by the Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor rating scale, motor evoked potential and histological observation. GBCs expressed neural stem cell markers nestin, SOX2, NCAM and also mesenchymal stem cell markers (CD29, CD54, CD90, CD73, CD105). These cells formed neurosphere, a culture characteristics of NSCs and on induction, differentiated cells expressed neuronal markers ~III tubulin, microtubule-associated protein 2, neuronal nuclei, and neurofilament. GBCs transplanted rats exhibited hindlimb motor recovery as confirmed by BBB score and gastrocnemius muscle electromyography amplitude was increased compared to controls. Green fluorescent protein labelled GBCs survived around the injury epicenter and differentiated into βⅢ tubulin-immunoreactive neuron-like cells. GBCs could be an alternative to NSCs from an accessible source for autologous neurotransplantation after SCI without ethical issues.展开更多
