Objective To establish the separation and expansion method of human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) and explore the influence of 1,25 (OH)2VD3 on hUCMSCs in vitro.Methods UCMSCs were cultured from adherent tissue pieces and detected by immunohistochemistry.Taking the third generation with good growth state UCMSCs make intervene experiment.Set 10-7 mol/L,10-9mol/L and 10-11 mol/L 3 kind of concentration of 1,25(OH)2VD3 as the experimental group,and a control group (DMEM medium).The morphologic change of UCMSCs was observed by inverted microscope.Observe the cell proliferation by the method of MTT.Detect alkaline phosphatase assay and type Ⅰ collagen assay from immunohistochemistry.And the calcium tubercle formation would be examined after 21 days.Results UCMSCs were cultured from adherent tissue pieces and strongly positive for CD44,CD105 and negative for CD34,CD45.consistent with the hUCMSCs characteristics.Under different concentration of 1,25 (OH)2VD3hUCMSCs proliferation were promoted within 7 days but were suppressed beyond 7 days.The high doses group ( 10-7 mol/L group ) obvious inhibitted the stem cell proliferation.Different concentrations of 1,25 (OH)2VD3 and days have interactive effect (P < 0.05).The differences between different groups with ALP and type Ⅰ collagen assay has statistical difference (P < 0.05).The secretion of ALP and type Ⅰ collagen assay of 10-7 mol/Lconcentration group was higher than others.Typical mineralization nedus was found in intervene groups.Conclusion HUCMSCs can be successfully cultured from the adherent tissue pieces.1,25(OH)2VD3 can effectively induce hUCMSCs to differentiate into osteoblasts in vitro.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with knee joint diseases and discuss the curative effect of arthroscopy.Methods Eighty-nine children with knee joint diseases in Department of Orthopedics,the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from October 2012 to October 2015 were selected,and they were given knee arthroscopic surgery according to the disease types and characteristics,such as meniscal suture,suture plus angioplasty and synovectomy etc.All the symptoms,signs and the joint functions were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively.At the end of follow-up,surgical results were analyzed according to Lysholm score and International Knee Documentation Committee Knee evaluation form (IKDC) classification standard.Results The patients with discoid meniscus tear were the most,accounting for 55.55% (55/99 knees).All patients were followed up for 6-30 months(the average time was 21 months) to find that all symptoms were relieved or disappeared within 1 year after operation.The outcome was evaluated according to the Tegner knee function:76 knees (76.76%) were markedly effective,16 knees (16.16%) were effective,6 knees (6.06%) were invalid and 1 knee (1.01%) was poor,and the excellent rate was 92.92%.The curative effect was evaluated according to Lysholm knee function score and IKDC score at the last follow-up.The Lysholm score in preoperation [(52.46 ± 4.79) scores] improved to (96.52 ± 3.97) scores in postoperation,and the difference was significant (t =-36.24,P < 0.05);the IKDC score in preoperation [(46.52 ± 10.25) scores] improved to (90.67-± 5.89) scores in postoperation,and the difference was significant (t =-50.69,P < 0.05).There was no joint infection,blood vessel or nerve damage and so on.Conclusions Meniscus tear is common in children with knee joint diseases,and most common is discoid lateral meniscus tear,and arthroscopy can have satisfactory outcome,with no obvious complications.Therefore,arthroscopic surgery is an ideal method for surgical treatment of children with knee joint disease.

Objective:To explore the impact of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) image quality and related factors on the diagnostic performance of CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR).Methods:Based on the CT-FFR CHINA trial, the prospective multicenter trial enrolled patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent CCTA, CT-FFR and FFR measurement. The subjective and objective assessments of CCTA image were performed on a per-vessel level. The objective assessments included the enhancement degree of coronary artery, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the aortic root. We used χ 2 test and DeLong test to compare the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR with FFR as the reference standard in different subjective groups (non-artifact vs. artifact), enhancement degree of coronary artery groups (≤400 vs. 401-500 vs.>500 HU), SNR of the aortic root groups (≤16.9 vs.>16.9), body mass index (BMI) groups (<25 kg/m 2 vs.≥25 kg/m 2) and heart rate groups (<75 bpm vs.≥75 bpm). FFR and CT-FFR values≤0.80 was identified as myocardial ischemia. Results:The study enrolled 317 patients with 366 vessels. All target vessels in CCTA images were successfully analyzed by CT-FFR. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and AUC of the non-artifact group were 90.45%, 86.75%, 93.10%, 90.00%, 90.76% and 0.928, respectively, and those of the artifact group were 83.23%, 87.21%, 79.01%, 81.52%, 85.33% and 0.869, respectively. The differences in accuracy and specificity were statistically significant (χ 2=4.23, P=0.040; χ 2=8.55, P=0.003). The diagnostic efficacy of CT-FFR had no statistically significant differences among different objective groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The artifact of CCTA image has an effect on CT-FFR in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. The degree of vascular enhancement, SNR, BMI, and heart rate have no significant effect on the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR.
