Catharmus tinctorius volatile oil promote the migration of mesenchymal stem cells via ROCK2/Myosin light chain signaling.

MSC transplantation has been explored as a new clinical approach to stem cell-based therapies for bone diseases in regenerative medicine due to their osteogenic capability. However, only a small population of implanted MSC could successfully reach the injured areas. Therefore, enhancing MSC migration could be a beneficial strategy to improve the therapeutic potential of cell transplantation.

[Hyper spectral estimation method for soil alkali hydrolysable nitrogen content based on discrete wavelet transform and genetic algorithm in combining with partial least squares DWT-GA-PLS)].

Taking the Qihe County in Shandong Province of East China as the study area, soil samples were collected from the field, and based on the hyperspectral reflectance measurement of the soil samples and the transformation with the first deviation, the spectra were denoised and compressed by discrete wavelet transform (DWT), the variables for the soil alkali hydrolysable nitrogen quantitative estimation models were selected by genetic algorithms (GA), and the estimation models for the soil alkali hydrolysable nitrogen content were built by using partial least squares (PLS) regression. The discrete wavelet transform and genetic algorithm in combining with partial least squares (DWT-GA-PLS) could not only compress the spectrum variables and reduce the model variables, but also improve the quantitative estimation accuracy of soil alkali hydrolysable nitrogen content. Based on the 1-2 levels low frequency coefficients of discrete wavelet transform, and under the condition of large scale decrement of spectrum variables, the calibration models could achieve the higher or the same prediction accuracy as the soil full spectra.

[Hyperspectral estimation of kalium content in apple florescence canopy based on fuzzy recognition].

The objective of the present paper is fast and nondestructive estimate of kalium content using ASD FieldSpec3 spectrometer determined hyperspectral data in apple florescence canopy. According to detection of hyperspectral data of the apple florescence canopy and kalium content data at laboratory in Qixia city of experimental orchards in 2008 and 2009, the correlation analysis of hyperspectral reflectance and its eleven transforms with kalium content was proceeded. The biggest correlation coefficient as independent variable and the estimation model of kalium content were established based on fuzzy recognition algorithms.

[Hyper-spectral estimation of soil organic matter content based on wavelet transformation].

A total of 60 soil samples with approximate contents of N, P, and K and greatly different content of organic matter were selected by statistical analysis. Through hyper-spectral detection and analysis, the first derivative spectrum of the soil logarithmic reflectance was obtained, and was decomposed by the Bior 1.3 wavelet function.

[Study on hyperspectral characteristics of apple florescence canopy].

The present study aims to systematically analyze the hyperspectral characteristics of apple florescence canopy and explore the sensitive spectra to provide the theoretical basis for large area apple information extracting and remote sensing retrieval for nutrition diagnosis. Based on the 120 hyperspectral data of apple florescence canopy acquired with ASD Field Spec 3 portable object spectrometer, the effects of different sample numbers on hyperspectral characteristics were analyzed. Using variance analysis method, the hyperspectral characteristics of apple florescence canopy and the sensitive wave bands were obtained.

In vitro studies on the antioxidant and protective effect of 2-substituted -8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives against H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative stress in BMSCs.

Novel 2-vinyl-8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives as potential antioxidants and regulators of H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative stress in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are first reported. The antiradical properties and the reducing power of these compounds were assessed using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and auto-oxidation of pyrogallol method, respectively. The activity against lipid peroxidation was determined using ammonium thiocyanate method.

[Effect of extract components from Plastrum testudinis and their combination component on proliferation of rat mesenchymal stem cell in vitro].

Objective: To observe the effect of extract components from Plastrum Testudinis and their combination component on the proliferaiton of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) to screen out the effective components.

Methods: Mesenchymal stem cells were dissociated from bone marrow of rat and were marked by Brdu, and the expression of CD44, CD54 and double label of Brdu and CD44 extract components (A to approximately J) with different concentration (2 microl, 5 microl,10 microl,20 microl)added to cultured MSC. The cell viability was tested by MTT.
