Objective To discuss a new method of BMSCs culture which can reduce the lead-in of extraneous antigenic substances in the process of cell culture, and can thus better meet the demand on the quantity and biological characteristics of BMSCs in the clinical use of tissue engineering bone. Methods BMSCs from a human adult in vitro were induced by using autologous platelet-rich plasma instead of animal serum in high-carbohydrate DMEM (Dulbecco's minimum essential medium). After the cultured BMSCs were amplified rapidly by Rotary Cell Culture System, their growth status was observed and their biological characteristics were detected. Results The cells were in good growth status and presented fine biological characteristics. Their growth speed in Rotary Cell Culture System was observed to be evidently faster than that by conventional methods. Conclusions Rotary Cell Culture System by autologous platelet-rich plasma instead of animal serum is a good culture method to induce human BMSCs in vitro. The quantity and biological characteristics of BMSCs cultured in this way can meet the demand in clinical use.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical rational use of anti-epileptic drugs. METHODS:In this retrospective review,serum concentrations of anti-epileptic drugs in a total of 499 patients who were treated with anti-epileptic drugs (such as sodium phenytoin,phenobarbital,carbamazepine and valproate sodium) in our hospital during 2007 were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:Among the patients receiving one kind of anti-epileptic drugs,206 cases (61.49%) were within normal range in blood concentration versus only 45 cases (44.12%) for patients receiving combined drugs. In addition,the above four drugs (sodium phenytoin,phenobarbital,carbamazepine and valproate sodium) were detected in 59.68% of the patients who took Chinese medicines,and among them,3.23% were within normal range in blood concentration. CONCLUSION:Monitoring on serum concentrations of anti-epileptic drugs is conducive to a better control of therapeutic concentration. It is advisable to refrain from using anti-epileptic drugs in combination but to adopt individualized administration. In addition,great importance should be attached to whether there are chemo-synthetic drug components contained in Chinese medicine.
