BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have a remarkable differentiation potential and superiority as a type of seed cells,but their application is limited in the presence of certain diseases,such as aplastic anemia and myelogenous neoplasm.The present studies have found that seed cells called muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) have brought more and more attention,because of their capability of stir-renewal and multi-diffcrentiation like B MSCs.OBJECTIVE: To explore the biological characterization of the muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) from rabbits,and analyze the phenotype.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: Cell in vitro observation experiment was performed at the Medical Research Center of Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from August 2005 to March 2006.MATERIALS: A New Zealand rabbit (1.5 months old,clean grade) was enrolled for the preparation of Muscle-derived stem cells.Growth medium was DMED-LG added with 10% fetal bovine serum and 10% horse serum and fusion medium was DMEM-LG added with 2% fetal bovine serum.METHODS: The muscle mass was removed from the anesthetized rabbit to isolate MDSCs.These cells were dissociated using three enzymes (collagenase XI,dispase and trypsin) respectively.Sediment was resuspended.Then preplate technique was used.The muscle cell extract was plated on a collagen-coated culture flask with growth medium.The flask was called PP1.PPI was kept overnight in a 37 ℃ incubator containing 5% CO2,After that,the suspension was transferred to another collagen-coated culture flask,which was called PP2.PP3,PP4,PP5 and PP6 were constructed later following the same procedures.The cells adhered in PP6 were collected,plated in 6-well plates,and divided into 2 groups.Growth medium was used in one group,in which the cells were kept growing at a degree of confluence beyond 50%,and fusion medium was used in the other one,in which the cells were passaged with a degree up to 30%.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The cells from PP1 to PP6 were collected,and the characterization was identified preliminary by Flow cytomctry,Immunocytochemistry and Western Blotting.The fusion of cells in PP6 was detected at different confluence degrees and concentration of medium.RESULTS: The cells in PP6 showed ＞ 80% desmin+,＞ 70% Bcl-2+,＞ 95% CD45,which indicated that MDSCs were in a high concentration.The expressions of α-SMA in the cells were decreasing with the Preplate technique used and the cells in PP6 almost had no α -SMA expression.When passaged at a high confluence (＞ 50%) or cultured with low concentrations of serum (2% serum),the cells in PP6 had a strong tendency of fusing into myotubes or cell chains and were skeletal myosin+.CONCLUSION: MDSCs,which are capable of multi-differentiation under a high fusion or low serum conditions,express dcsmin and Bcl-2 highly,but extreruelv little CD45 and no α -SMA.

Objective To study the value of CT perfusion in differential diagnosis of local recur and local radiofibrosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) at pre-and post-radiotherapy.Methods Dynamic CT scan was performed in 71 objectives: 14 in local recur group,22 in radiofibrosis group,15 in pre-radiotherapy NPC group and 20 in control group,the time-density curve(TDC) and the data of perfusion parameters were recorded and analyzed statistically.Results The TDC feature between local recur group,pre-radiotherapy NPC group and radiofibrosis group,control group had difference.The average of blood flow(BF) had significant differences by two by two comparison in four groups(P

Objective To study the localizations and the quantity of GnRH receptor in stomach of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats under stress.Methods The model of stress SD rats was established by fear. Then, stomachs were taken from the rats in acute stress group (2h-12h), chronic stress group (1d-4w) and the control group respectively.The localizations and the quantity of GnRH receptor in stomachs were detected using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.Results The results of immunohistochemistry showed that immunoreactivity of GnRH receptor was displayed in the gastric parietal cells and the epithelial cells of the gastric pits in stomachs of rats in all groups. The immunoreactive materials were distributed in membrane and cytoplasm of all positive cells, but not in nuclei. Meanwhile, the results of Western blotting showed that the number of GnRH receptor decreased significantly when SD rats were in stress from 2h to 2w (P

Objective To analyze the causes of inappropriate discharge of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in elderly patients and to discuss the corresponding solutions.Methods Totally 95 elderly patients with ICD were collected.They were followed up and the inappropriate ICD discharges were recorded and analyzed.Results All patients were followed up for 235 times/year totally.There were 16 patients with inappropriate ICD discharges.The causes of inappropriate ICD discharges included ventricular oversensing in 7 patients (43.7％),supraventricular tachycardia misclassified into ventricular tachycardia in 4 patients (25.0％),electrode fracture in 2 patients (12.5％),and electromyogram (EMG) interference,electromagnetic interference and electrode fracture with EMG interference in 1 patients respectively (6.3％ each).11 inappropriate ICD discharges were reduced and avoided by reprogrammed and noninvasive treatment in 16 patients.1 patient with the underdetected ventricular fibrillation after reprogramming and the problem was solved by external defibrillation.The other 5 patients got better by the invasive treatment.Conclusions Different causes account for inappropriate discharges in patients with ICD.Reprogramming the corresponding parameters in different ICD can reduce or avoid inappropriate discharges without affecting the sensitivity of ICD.

Objective To investigate the changes of the weight of testis and epididymis,sperm numbers in cauda of epididymis,the structure of testis and the expression of 3?-HSD in rat testis after removing submandibular gland in rats.Methods On the day 14,28 and 42 after the operation,the testis and the epididymis were weighed and the epididymis sperm were counted.The changes of the testis were showed by HE stain.The changes of 3?-HSD expression were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.Results On the day 28 and 42 after the operation,the weight of body,testis and epididymis decreased markedly(P0.05),but increased apparently on the day 28(P

Objective:To explore the development characteristics of empathy in adolescents and the relations with aggression.Methods:With multistage stratified random sampling method,15 738 middle school students were selected from 5 provinces across China.The Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire Revised in China (BWAQ-RC) and Interactional Reactivity Index (IRI-C)was used to measure adolescents'aggression and empathy.Results:Girls had higher level of empathy than boys (P <0.001).Age and gender were interacted in predicting empathetic con-cern (P <0.001).Perspective taking was significant negative predictor of indirect aggression,physical aggression, hostile and angry (P <0.001),while empathetic concern was significant positive predictor of indirect aggression, verbal aggression,hostile and angry (P <0.001).Empathy was divided into 4 class used the K-Means clustering a-nalysis,namely,low empathy class,high perspective taking class,high empathetic concern class,high perspective taking and empathetic concern class.In contrast to other classes,individuals in low empathy class were more likely to involve in physical aggression (P <0.05),and individuals in high level of perspective taking and empathetic con-cern class were related with less physical aggression and elevated verbal aggression (P <0.05).Individuals in high empathetic concern class exhibited more indirect aggression,hostile and anger than other subgroups (P <0.05). Conclusion:The unbalance development of the two components of empathy may be closely correlated with different conduction of aggressive behaviors.

Objective To introduce and discuss the efficacy of a new technique to perform transperitoneal single-docking robot-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (RNU).Methods A total of 44 patients diagnosed with urothelial neoplasm of the renal pelvis or were investigated from January 2016 to November 2019.RNU was performed by a single surgeon.Among the 44 patients,31 were male,and 13 were female.The median age was 63 (IQR:58-71).The median body mass index (BMI) was 23.08 (IQR:21.55-24.60) kg/m2.All operations were performed with general anesthesia.The patients were positioned 80 degrees flank with the diseased side up,and the head was tilted 10 degrees downwards.The camera port was placed one finger lateral to the umbilicus.For the right-sided tumors,robotic arm 1 was inserted through the trocar on the right pararectus line,8 cm above the umbilicus,and robotic arm 2 was inserted through the trocar on the same line,8 cm below the umbilicus.Assistant trocar 1 was placed where the anterior midline joins the perpendicular bisector of the camera port and robotic 2,and assistant trocar 2 was placed below the xiphoid process.For the left-sided tumors,all trocars were centrosymmetric to that of the right-sided tumors,except that assistant port 2 was placed 3 finger width above the pubic symphysis.The peritoneum was incised along the Toldt line,and the inferior vena cava was isolated (for left sided tumor,the abdominal aorta was isolated instead).The renal artery and vein were clipped with Hem-o-lok and ligated,and the kidney were isolated.The ureter was identified and isolated downwards across the common iliac artery and then clipped distal to the tumor site.The bladder cuff was resected and sutured under the laparoscopy.Results The median operation time was 145 (IQR:130-175) min,with the median console time of 119 (IQR:108.5-136.0) min,the anastomosis of bladder cuff of 12 min,and the median estimated blood loss of 50 (20-100)ml.After the surgery,6 Clavien-Dindo grade 2 complications occurred,including 2 chylous leakage,1 hemostasis,1 blood transfusion,1 deep vein thrombus,and 1 acute coronary syndrome.The median length of stay (LOS) was 8 (IQR:6.5-10.0) d.The median length of follow-up was 12 months.In total,5 patients were dead,including 3 cancer-specific death.Four recurrence occurred and caused 3 death.The 2-year overall survival and progression-free survival were 68.2％ and 77.9％,respectively.Conclusions The technique of RNU with simultaneous bladder cuff excision (BCE).Our technique improved the surgical outcome.The perioperative complication rate was low,and the short-term survival outcomes were satisfactory.

In recent years,researchers have shown widespread attention in the impact of commonly used clinical anesthetics on overall physiological health by influencing mitochondrial quality.These widely used anesthetics can alter mitochondrial characteristics in several ways,such as modifying mitochondrial morphology and dynamics,affecting mitochondrial function and metabolism,and altering the expression of mitochondrial proteins.These changes have a direct or indirect effect on clinical outcomes during the peri-operative period.Either beneficial or detrimental consequences are decided by multiple factors,such as the type and dosage of anesthetic used,the timing of administration,and the patient's condition.This review comprehensively presents the effects of different types of anesthetic drugs,including intravenous anesthetics,inhalational anesthetics,analgesic,and local anesthetics,on the mitochondria quality of tissue cells and their potential mechanisms,which can facilitate selecting safer anesthesia protocols,minimizing postoperative complications,optimizing patients'postoperative recovery,developing new therapeutic strategies,and opti-mizing perioperative management.
