Objective To investigate the expression of specific marker molecules in hair-inducing activity of long-term cultured human dermal papilla cells (HDPCs) in vitro.Methods After dissected and cultured the HDPCs in vitro,the cells of passages 1 to 8 were used for experiments.The growth appearances of HDPCs in different passages were observed under inverted microscope.To detect the expression of specific marker molecules of long-term cultured HDPCs,the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of the HDPCs was examined,and the specific genes ALP and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) expression levels of HDPCs were determined by real-time quantitative PCR.Results After long-term cultured in vitro,the ALP and IGF-1 expression levels of HDPCs gradually decreased in different passages,as well as the display of the aggregated and cartouche growth.The ALP and IGF-1 expression levels of HDPCs in passage 1 was the highest,they were almost about 6.8-fold and 3.5-fold higher than the HDPCs in passage 8.The ALP staining of the HDPCs in passage 1 and passage 2 were evident,but the cells' ALP staining gradually became much weaker than the cells in the previous passages after the long-term cultured in vitro.Conclusions The expression levels of specific marker molecules ALP and IGF-1 of the HDPCs decrease gradually after long-term cultured in vitro,and the higher passage HDPCs lost the special aggregated and cartouche growth appearance,and hence lead to the loss of hair-inducing activity of HDPCs.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the safe use of drugs in patients with complex venous thromboembolism (VTE) and acute renal insufficiency. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the management of anticoagulant therapy for a patient with complex VTE complicated with acute renal insufficiency, and evaluated the patient as high-risk thrombosis and bleeding based on their medical history, laboratory test results, etc.; combined with the complexity of thrombosis and renal insufficiency, clinical pharmacists suggested that enoxaparin sodium should be used in the acute stage of thrombosis (5 to 21 days after onset), and then warfarin should be adopted for oral anticoagulation treatment. Because the patient’s anticoagulation was not up to the standard (the target range of the international normalized ratio was 2-3), clinical pharmacists suggested increasing the warfarin dose, detecting the warfarin metabolism genotype, and adjusting the warfarin dose according to the genotype; at the same time, clinical pharmacists developed an anticoagulation monitoring plan to ensure the safety of anticoagulation treatment. RESULTS Doctors had adopted all the recommendations of clinical pharmacists. The patient did not experience adverse events such as bleeding or worsening of thromboembolism during anticoagulation in the hospital. When the anticoagulation met the standards, the patient was allowed to be discharged with medication. CONCLUSIONS By participating in the anticoagulation treatment management of patients with complex VTE and acute renal insufficiency, clinical pharmacists have assisted doctors in formulating personalized anticoagulation plans to promote the compliance with the anticoagulation treatment standard and ensure the safety and effectiveness of medication for patients.
