BACKGROUND:Kunming mouse embryonic fibroblasts are the most common feeder layers at present, and there are rare reports addressing C57BL/6 mouse embryonic fibroblasts as feeder layers.
OBJECTIVE:To separate and culture C57BL/6 mouse embryonic fibroblasts in vitro, and produce feeder layers to enlarge the resources of mouse embryonic fibroblasts.
METHODS:C57BL/6 mouse embryonic fibroblasts were isolated and cultured by trypsin digestion method in vitro. The biological characteristics and growth rule of the fibroblasts were investigated, then the feeder layers for the cel culture were produced. The growth of cel colonies on the prepared feeder layer was tested.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:C57BL/6 mouse embryonic fibroblasts grew wel with a large amount, by trypsin digestion method at different concentrations. There was no significance in the survival rate after cryopreservation for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. The cel s were proliferative from the second to fifth passage and declined sharply after the sixth passage. The planted mouse embryonic fibroblasts feeder layers had a high activity within 3 days, but got a sharp decline after 4 days. So it is best to use C57BL/6 mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder layers within 3 days after they’re inactivated. C57BL/6 mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder layer can support embryonic stem cel s and induce pluripotent stem cel s to grow as Kunming mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

Objective To maintain the good psychological state of new nurses, stabilize nursing troop and improve nursing quality, we investigate the work pressure source and mental health of new nurses and analyze the correlation among work pressure, mental resilience and mental health. Methods According to the principle of convenience sampling,a total of 116 new nurses who get the job less than one year in the first hospital of Jilin university were investigated using the method of questionnaire survey. The Conner Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were involved in the questionnaire. Results Mental resilience scores of new nurses were (63.73±15.11), the scores of anxiety and depression were (34.49±6.45) and (35.59±7.24). Work pressure was negatively correlated with mental resilience (P<0.01) and positively correlated with anxiety and depression (P<0.01). New nurses worried about making mistakes in the work accounted for 89.42 percents (93/104), which was the highest score in the stress source. Conclusions New nurses have good mental resilience and psychological health level, but work pressure has certain impact on mental resilience and mental health. Hospital managers should take active measures which include reducing pressure and improving the ability to help the new nurses through the adaptation as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the influence of calcitonin on bone mineral density and biomechanics around the artificial pros-thesis in ovariectomized diabetic rabbit model. Methods Fourteen femina New Zealand white rabbits at the age of 5 months old were select-ed, which weight 2.24 -2.65kg, averaging 2.26kg. First, the model of rabbit with diabetic osteoporosis was successfully established by the compound method of ovariectomy plus streptozotocin. Osteotomy in the middle part of femur was performed in both groups, fixation of artifi-cial prosthesis was done with 3.0 kirschner wire. After that, Rabbit models with diabetic osteoporosis were randomly divided into experimen-tal group and control group. Rabbits in the experimental group were treated with calcitonin 6U intramuscular injection once every other day. In control group, intramuscular injection of normal saline solution 1.5ml once every three days. Rabbit models of two groups were sacrificed in the 24th week. The BMD of the region of interest (ROI) around the prosthesis were detected before experiment and 8, 16 and 24 weeks after injection. After rabbits were killed, experimental femurs in both groups were complete removal and soft tissues were rejected. Determi-nation of the pull-out and torsion bone biomechanics experiments of prosthesis was done in both groups respectively. Results The BMD of ROI in the experimental group before operation was (0.1863±0.004)g/cm2 and (0.1753±0.005)g/cm2 in 24 weeks after operation, in control group before operation was (0.1865±0.002)g/cm2 and (0.1638±0.005)g/cm2 in 24 weeks after operation. There were significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.05). Biomechanical show that the pull-out strength in the experimental group was (312.68±8.73 )N/cm2 and (205.43±12.45 ) N/cm2 in control group. There were significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.05). The tor-sion strength in experimental group was (80.47±2.51) N/cm2 and (38.52±0.64) N/cm2 in control group. There were significant differ-ence between the two groups(P < 0.05). Conclusion Salmon calcitonin can reduce the bone turnover rate around prosthesis and decrease bone absorption in the rabbit of diabetic osteoporosis models, accelerate the bone formation around prosthesis, and increase the BMD. It can ameliorate the quality of bone around prosthesis, improve its biomechanics property, and increase the holding power between prosthesis and body mass. It is of clinical significance for the prevention and treatment of aseptic loosening artificial prosthesis.
