OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of the anticoagulants on PRP quality, so as to clarify the appropriate anticoagulant used in PRP production.

METHODSThe microstructure change of platelets collected via heparin, citrate, acid citrate dextrose (ACD) and citrate-theophylline-adenosine-dipyridamole ( CTAD) was observed by TEM following time course. The extent of spontaneous activation of platelets in four groups was detected by measuring sP-selectin in plasma. The TGF-β1 release amount of activated PRP of four groups was measured.

RESULTSCTAD is superior to other anticoagulants in maintaining the integrity of platelet structures for a long time and preventing platelet spontaneous activation. ACD slightly surpassed heparin and citrate in above two aspects. ACD-PRP and CTAD-PRP released significantly more TGF-β1 compared with heparin and citrate.

CONCLUSIONSThe PRP quality and biological effects were strongly associated with the type of Anticoagulants. ACD and CTAD are optimal anticoagulants in PRP production for they can maintain platelet viability at a high level.

Objective To explore the methodology of the preventing the absorption after autog-enous fat granule mammaplasty, and the main point of the operative methods.. Methods The clinical data were reviewed in 30 cases of patients with liposuction combined with fat-grafting injection for breast mammaplasty in the past four years. The tumescent technique was used in liposuction and the volume of fat tissue aspirated was between 500 ml and 3250 ml. Using appropriate way we prepared pure fat granules and then evenly injected into the layer beneath the pectoralis major muscle, submam-mary layer and subcutaneous layer of the breast, respectively. Results The effect of the method was satisfying because sucking area was significantly decreased. From six months to 10 months follow-up, grafts showed no obvious absorption. The breast looked symmetry. Conclusion Fat grafting injection is a practicable method for breast mammaplasty. The key point is to use appropriate way to get pure fat granule and to prevent infection. It deserves to be recommended.

BACKGROUND: Female hypertension has its own epidemicologic character and the chief interventions on it are various.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors of female hypertension and observe the effects on rehabilitative and preventive intervention in demonstrative community for comprehensive prevention and treatment of cardiac cerebral vascular disease in Guizhou.DESIGN: Group randomization was designed. The samples of certain percentage were randomized according to total population from each village of 13 administrative areas.SETTING: Guizhou Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, Renmin Hospital of Yunyan District in Guiyang, Guizhou Clinical Examination Center.PARTICIPANTS: Since 1996, a series of comprehensive prevention and treatment had been carried in the communities for cardiac cerebral vascular disease in Guizhou, involved 13 administrative areas and 112 villagecitizen groups, in which, 26 604 people were employed, living in the regions between town and country. Social natural condition and life behavior of majority citizen reflected the common state of people in town and country. Totally 3 934 people aged over 15 years were investigated in the communities, and were all in the known of investigation. The samples without complete data were excluded.METHODS: ① Base-line investigation was carried on for the groups over 15 years old according to the requirement for administrative region designed by Institute of Preventive Medicine of China Academy of Sciences from April 1st 2001 to May 15th . ② Health education and health promotion activity were carried on for the included groups. ③ Survey after intervention was given for females according to the survey items designed by Institute of Preventive Medicine of China Academy of Sciences from July 2002to June 2003. ④ Normal body-mass index (BMI) was 18.5-23.9 kg/m2,overweight was indicated if BMI was 24-27.9 kg/m2 and obesity was diagnosed if BMI ≥28 kg/m2. ⑤ Analysis was applied on comparison of BMI,waist to hip ratio (WHR), average blood pressure, the rates of incidence,awareness and treatment of hypertension and rate of high-salty and lipid diet. ⑥ t test was adopted for comparison of means between two samples and x2 test was used for rate comparison.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of the rates of incidence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension for females of different ages in community base-line investigation in Guizhou. ② Comparison of BMI, WHR and BP of females of various ages in baseline investigation.③ Comparison of incident rate of hypertension for females with various BMI in baseline investigation. ④ Comparison of BMI, WHR, BP, smoke, alcohol, rate of high-salty and lipid diet, the rates of incidence, awareness,treatment and control of hypertension for females between baseline investigation and post-intervention survey.RESULTS: In baseline investigation, 6 361 correct and complete forms were collected, with 99.84% qualified rate, of which, there were 3 934females. 1 141 data were qualified after intervention. It was indicated in community baseline investigation: ① Rates of incidence, awareness and treatment of hypertension for females were improved with increased age (P ＜ 0.05), and the control rate was decreased with increased age (P ＜ 0.05). ② BMI, WHR, SBP (systolic blood pressure) and DBP (diastolic blood pressure) and PP (pulse pressure) were improved significantly with in creased age (P ＜ 0.01). BMI for females was increased with ages, but was declined with age ≥60 years. ③ The incident rates of hypertension for groups of normal body mass, overweight and obesity were 15.05%, 23.87% and 39.37% successively, indicating that the hypertension inci dent rate was increased significantly with improved BMI (paired compari son, P ＜ 0.05). Comparison between post-intervention survey and base-line investigation: ① In the comparison, the results of BMI, WHR and BP means were reduced for most cases at same age and significant difference was displayed in majority (P ＜ 0.05). ② After intervention, smoke rate of females was increased significantly and rate of high-salty and lipid diet was decreased (P ＜ 0.05). ③ Incident rate after health intervention was decreased significantly compared with that before intervention (P ＜ 0.05),and the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were enhanced significantly (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: ① The rates of incidence, awareness, treatment and control of female hypertension are different in ages in community of Guizhou. ② The severity of risk factor of female hypertension is enhanced with increased age in community of Guizhou. ③ The increased body mass is the important factor of incident rate of hypertension. ④ Health education probably decreases the severity of risk factor of hypertension and increases the rates of awareness, treatment and control.

BACKGROUND:There are a lot of studies on isolation and culture methods of human placental chorionic-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hpcMSCs), but how to simply and efficiently harvest a large amount of primary MSCs has not been resolved. OBJECTIVE:To optimize the tissue explants method of isolating and culturing hpcMSCsin vitro. METHODS:Human placental chorionic villi were collected from full-term deliveries under aseptic condition and isolated by electric homogenizer. hpcMSCs were prepared by tissue explants method. The fluid and tissue of the primary culture flask and douching normal saline of the initial culture were centrifuged and prepared for secondary culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: It saved time and effort to treat human placental chorionic villi with electric homogenizer, with good effects on tissue dispersion and removal of red blood cells. The average time of cell acquisition in initial culture and secondary culture was (17.73±1.14) and (10.03±1.30) days, respectively. The yields of primary cultured cells in initial culture and secondary culture were (6.97±0.98)×105 and (13.82±1.44)×105per Φ100 mm culture dish, respectively. The adherent cells showed fibroblast-cell-like shape, which were in parallel or circinate arrangement. Highly expressed CD73, CD105 and CD90 could be detected in the third generation of hpcMSCs, but CD34, CD45, CD14, CD19 and HLA-DR were negative. Following induction, alizarin red staining and oil red O staining produced a strong reaction in cells. In a word, the optimized method is a simple and efficient method for obtaining a large amount of primary hpcMSCs.

Objective To establish a cultivating method for obtaining a large number of P0 generation human placental chorionic-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hpcMSCs).Methods The hpcMSCs were isolated from human placental chorion.After primary culturing and culturing for seven days,the culture medium,the non-adherent tissue and the douching normal saline of the primary culture were centrifuged and re-cultured twice.Cell morphology was observed by an inverted microscope.CCK-8 was used to measure the cell growth curve.Flow cytometry was used to detect cell surface markers.Adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation kits were used to assess the cell differentiation potential.Results The obtained hpcMSCs were fibroblast-like adherent cells and (25.54±3.38)×106 cells were obtained per placenta.The total yield of the primary culture,secondary culture and tertiary culture were (11.73±2.09)×106,(11.12±1.42)×106 and (2.69±0.71)×106,respectively,and the incubation time were (12.00±0.64) d,(8.87±0.63) d and (12.33±0.80) d.There was significant differences in incubation time between the secondary culture and the primary culture as well as the tertiary culture (all P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between the primary culture and the tertiary culture.However,the incubation time of the tertiary culture had an increasing trend (P＞0.05).The yield per culture flask of the primary culture,secondary culture and tertiary culture were (1.12±0.15) × 106,(2.10±0.16)×106 and (1.04±0.16)×106,respectively.There was significant differences in the yield per culture flask between the secondary culture and the primary culture as well as the tertiary culture (all P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between the primary culture and the tertiary culture.However,the yield per culture flask of the tertiary culture had a decreasing trend (P＞0.05).There was no difference among the three cultures in the growth curve and the expression of surface markers,and the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation were all positive.Conclusions The P0 generation hpcMSCs isolated from a choriocarcinoma sample can be doubled by the three cultures compared with the primary culture,which can provide plenty stem cell source for the regenerative medicine.

Objective To observe and analyze the application of Pareto law and PDCA principle in ICU nursing teaching. Methods Totally 133 nursing interns in ICU from October 2015 to October 2016 were chosen as the control group adopting the routine nursing teaching method; 137 nursing interns from November 2016 to November 2017 were selected as the experimental group for whom Pareto law and PDCA principle were applied in ICU nursing teaching. The post-teaching theory, skill test scores, quality of nursing documents and satisfaction with teaching were compared between the two groups. Results As for the doctor's order list, body temperature list, nursing record sheet, repairable rate of nursing document defect, the test group accounted for 0.73％ (1/137), 0, 0.73％ (1/137) and 1.46％ (2/137) respectively, while those of the control group were respectively, 5.26％ (7/133), 4.51％ (6/13), 8.27％ (11/13), and 18.05％(24/133). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.8235-39.3526, P<0.05 or <0.01)). In the experimental group, the scores of theoretical knowledge, professional operation, patient management and work attitude were as follows:(93.5±1.4), (94.9±1.1), (89.2±3.3) and (91.5±2.6);those of the control group were respectively (93.5 ± 1.4), (94.9 ± 1.1), (89.2 ± 3.3) and (91.5 ± 2.6). The difference was statistically significant (t=21.3228-26.9353, P<0.01). The satisfaction rate of the test group was 100.00％ (137/137), and that of the control group was 69.17％ (92/133). The difference was statistically significant (χ2=41.3671, P<0.01). Conclusion In ICU nursing teaching, the application of Pareto law and PDCA principle can effectively improve the test scores of theory and skill operation after nursing teaching, enhance the quality of nursing documents, improve the interest of nursing interns in learning, and raise the teaching satisfaction rate. Thus, the effect is ideal.
