OBJECTIVE To study the cardiotoxicity of ophiopogonin D′(OPD′) for rat H9c2 cardio? myocytes. METHODS H9c2 cells were exposed to OPD′ 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 20, 25 and 50 μmol·L-1 for 24 h. Cell viability was examined by MTS assay, and the morphological changes in H9c2 cells were quanti? fied. The cell nucleus injury was examined by high content immune fluorescence screening and the morphological changes were observed under a fluorescence microscope. After treatment with OPD′ 0.1, 1, 5 and 10 μmol·L- 1 for 24 h, the effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial mem? brane potential(MMP) and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS The viability was sig? nificantly reduced following exposure to OPD′ 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 20, 25 and 50 μmol·L- 1 (P<0.05,P<0.01). The IC50 value was 9.9 μmol ·L- 1 and cell shrinkage and apoptosis occurred. The levels of ROS and apoptosis rate of H9c2 cells were significantly increased after exposure to OPD′ 0.1, 1, 5 and 10 μmol·L-1 for 24 h (P<0.05,P<0.01) and MMP markedly declined (P<0.05,P<0.01). CONCLUSION OPD′ has significent cytotoxicity on H9c2 cells. It may be related to inducing apopotsis pathways.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of complications of central venous catheterization and risk factors in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Xi'an Children 's Hospital.Methods:The clinical data of 310 children who underwent central venous catheterization in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Xi 'an Children's Hospital from June 2020 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of complications of central venous catheterization and risk factors were analyzed.Results:A total of 334 central venous catheters were used in 310 chidren. Among the 310 children who underwent central venous catheterization, 102 children (30.54%) had complications related to central venous catheterization. The complications related to central venous catheterization included catheter infection (13.17%), catheter malposition (8.38%), exudation at the puncture site (4.79%), catheter occlusion (2.99%), accidental removal (0.60%), and central venous thrombosis (0.60%). Central venous catheters were removed in 82 children (24.55%) because of complications. There was a significant difference in the incidence of central venous thrombosis among three surgical approaches: femoral vein, internal jugular vein, and subclavian vein ( χ2 = 7.06, P = 0.029). Longer time for catheterization resulted in a higher incidence of complications, including catheter-related infection ( χ2 = 7.17, P = 0.028), puncture point exudation and obstruction ( χ2 = 8.59, P = 0.014), central venous thrombosis ( χ2 = 6.78, P = 0.034). Regression analysis showed that suture shedding and bleeding at the insertion sites were the main risk factors for catheter-related complications (suture shedding OR = 4.85, P = 0.001; bleeding at the insertion sites OR = 1.83, P = 0.008). Conclusion:The most common complications of central venous catheterization in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Xi'an Children's Hospital include catheter-related infection, catheter malposition, and puncture site exudation. Risk factors for complications during catheter retention include suture shedding and bleeding at the insertion sites.

Objective:To observe whether hair follicle cells from mice of different species can integrate to generate new pigmented hair follicles, and to explore the role of different melanocyte populations in pigmented hair follicle reconstruction in mice.Methods:The epidermal cell population, hair follicle epithelial cell population and dermal cell population were isolated from the skin of fetal or neonatal C57BL/6J and BALB/C mice, and epidermal melanocytes were obtained by culture and purification of the epidermal cell population. The experiments were divided into 3 parts: (1) hair follicle reconstruction experiment in neonatal C57BL/6J mice, which included 2 groups: epidermal cells + hair follicle epithelial cells group and dermal cells group; (2) chimeric hair follicle reconstruction experiment, which included 4 groups: dermal cells of neonatal C57BL/6J mice group, dermal cells of neonatal BALB/C mice group, dermal cells of neonatal BALB/C mice + dermal cells of neonatal C57BL/6J mice group, and dermal cells of fetal BALB/C mice + dermal cells of fetal C57BL/6J mice group; (3) pigmented hair follicle reconstruction experiment, which included 3 groups: dermal cells of neonatal BALB/C mice + epidermal cells of neonatal C57BL/6J mice group, dermal cells of neonatal BALB/C mice + hair follicle epithelial cells of neonatal C57BL/6J mice group, and dermal cells of neonatal BALB/C mice + cultured C57BL/6J epidermal melanocytes group. Different cells were implanted into dorsal skin fold chambers of the nude mice, and there were 4 mice in each group. At weeks 4 and 8 after inoculation, hair follicle reconstruction was assessed by gross observation, histological examination and immunofluorescence assay.Results:Among the 8 BALB/C nude mice in the 2 groups in the hair follicle reconstruction experiment, 7 survived and 1 died of wound infections on week 4 after inoculation; at weeks 4 and 8 after inoculation, no hair growth was observed in the epidermal cells + hair follicle epithelial cells group (3 mice) , while normal hair grew out in the dermal cells group (4 mice) mixed with epithelial components. Among the 16 BALB/C nude mice in the 4 groups in the chimeric hair follicle reconstruction experiment, 14 survived and 2 died of wound infections on week 4 after inoculation; at weeks 4 and 8 after inoculation, brown-grey hair grew well in the dermal cells of neonatal BALB/C mice + dermal cells of neonatal C57BL/6J mice group (4 mice) , and dermal cells of fetal BALB/C mice + dermal cells of fetal C57BL/6J mice group (3 mice) . Among the 12 BALB/C nude mice in the 3 groups in the pigmented hair follicle reconstruction experiment, 10 survived and 2 died of wound infections on week 4 after inoculation; at weeks 4 and 8 after inoculation, only white hair grew out in the dermal cells of neonatal BALB/C mice + cultured C57BL/6J epidermal melanocytes group (3 mice) , and no hair follicle melanocytes were observed by immunofluorescence assay, while brown-grey hair grew well in the dermal cells of neonatal BALB/C mice + epidermal cells of neonatal C57BL/6J mice group (4 mice) , and dermal cells of neonatal BALB/C mice + hair follicle epithelial cells of neonatal C57BL/6J mice group (3 mice) .Conclusions:The interaction between mesenchymal cells and hair follicle epithelial cells is a necessary condition for hair follicle reconstruction. The hair follicle cells from different species of mice can integrate to generate new pigmented hair follicles. Both hair follicle melanocytes and epidermal melanocytes can participate in the formation of pigmented hair follicles, but differentiated melanocytes have no such ability.

【Objective】 To study the incidence and specificity of platelet antibody in blood donors in Suzhou, analyze the distribution characteristics of platelet antibody in blood donors in this area, and explore the significance of platelet antibody detection in blood donors to reduce the adverse reactions toplatelet transfusion in clinical. 【Methods】 Platelet antibody detection was performed in 2178 blood donors in this area by solid-phase immunosorbent assay. The antibody specificity of the positive samples was analyzed by commercial kit, and the anti-CD36 antibody positive samples were further identified by flow cytometry and gene sequencing. 【Results】 Twelve positive samples were detected by platelet antibody screening, with a positive rate of 0.55%(12/2 178), including 5 males (0.33%, 5/2 178)and 7 females(1.06%, 7/2 178). Among the positive samples, anti-HLA-Ⅰ antibody was identified in 2 cases, anti-CD36 antibody in 1 case, and the antibody specificity was not identified in the other 9 cases. In one case, the positive rate of anti-HLA-Ⅰ antibody PRA was 31.31%(31/ 99), which was mainly specific to anti-B15, anti-B35 and anti-B40. The positive rate of anti-HLA-Ⅰ antibody PRA in the other case was 45.45%(45/ 99), which was mainly specific to anti-A2, anti-A11, anti-A24, anti-A29, anti-A33, anti-A66, anti-B15 and anti-B35. The blood donor with anti-CD36 antibody was type I CD36 deficiency, and 329_330delAC mutation occurred in exon 5. 【Conclusion】 Through antibody screening and specificity identification, the positive rate of platelet antibody in females was significantly higher than that in males(P<0.05). In addition to the common anti-HLA-I antibodies, anti-CD36 antibody was also detected in type I CD36 deficient blood donor. Therefore, the detection of platelet antibodies in blood donors is of certain clinical significance to reduce the adverse reactions to blood transfusion caused by antibodies in platelet products.
