Transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is a proven safe and effective method for treatment cerebral ischemia in animal experiments. However, safety efficacy need to be determined clinical trials. We performed two-center, randomized, placebo-controlled phase I/IIa trial with blinded outcome assessment on 18 patients acute infarct within the middle artery territory, followed up 4 years. Autologous ex vivo expanded EPCs were injected intravenously EPC group, who received saline...

Cysteine (Cys) plays an important role in many physiological activities of human beings. Various diseases are always accompanied by abnormal levels Cys. A series Cys-responsive probes were recently developed. However, most fluorescent have disadvantages and exhibit poor vivo imaging. Therefore, a near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF)/photoacoustic (PA) dual-mode probe with high selectivity sensitivity (limit detection = 10.6 nM) toward Cys was developed this study. The new Probe I interacted to...

Glioma is the most common primary intracranial malignant tumor. Despite advances in surgical techniques and adjuvant radio- chemotherapies, prognosis for patients with glioma remains poor. We have explored effects of using genetically modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to treat rats. Mesenchymal isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats can directly suppress growth C6 vitro. MSCs transplanted intratumorally also significantly inhibit prolong survival glioma-bearing models. producing...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is polygenic autoimmune disease with unclear etiology. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in the pathogenesis of RA. The objective this study was to evaluate miR-146a patients RA receiving Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (TwHF) treatment. In total, 69 and healthy controls (HC) were included study, received TwHF treatment for 24 weeks. Blood samples collected from HC, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated.

Expansion of bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in vitro to obtain required cell numbers for therapeutic applications faces the challenge growing senescence under traditional normoxic culture condition. We previously found that 1% O2 hypoxic condition is favorable reducing EPCs, but mechanisms underlying favorability are still unclear. Here, we that, compared with normoxia, hypoxia induced a shift lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozyme profile, which manifested as decreased...

Abstract Background Post-stroke hyperglycemia appears to be associated with poor outcome from stroke, greater mortality, and reduced functional recovery. Focal cerebral ischemia data support that neural stem cells (NSCs) play an important role in post-ischemic repair. Here we sought evaluate the negative effects of on cellular biology NSCs following anoxia, test whether high glucose affects NSC recovery ischemic injury. Results In this study, used immortalized adult lines induced vitro by 6...

Aged garlic extract (AGE) is widely used as a dietary supplement, and claimed to promote human health through anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory activities with hypolipidemic, antiplatelet neuroprotective effects. Prior studies of AGE have mainly focused on its organosulfur compounds, little attention paid carbohydrate derivatives, such N-α-(1-deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-L-arginine (FruArg). The goal this study investigate actions FruArg antioxidative neuroinflammatory responses in lipopolysaccharide...

SB-3CT is a potent and selective inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 -9, which has shown efficacy in an animal model severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, poorly water-soluble metabolized primarily to p-hydroxy (2), more than SB-3CT. We synthesized the O-phosphate prodrug (3) compound 2 enhance its water solubility by 2000-fold. The 3 was poor MMP inhibitor, but readily hydrolyzed active human blood. Pharmacokinetics distribution studies mice showed that crossed blood-brain...
