BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells are involved in the skin repair after scald, but the hydrogel made of the excreta by adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells is rarely reported in the treatment of skin scald. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the therapeutic effect of human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium hydrogel in a mouse model of skin scald. METHODS: Adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells were obtained from adipose tissues by enzyme digestion combined with adherent culture method. Morphological and flow cytometry were used to identify phenotype and induce differentiation. Secondly, the stable proliferative phase cells were harvested to obtain the conditioned medium, and chitosan, mannitol, beta-glycerol phosphate sodium and hyaluronic acid were added to prepare the thermosensitive hydrogel. Then the 95 ℃ aluminum block was used to rapidly establish a model of degree III skin scald on the left (experimental group) and right (control group) sides of the back of 24 C57BL/6 mice. In the experimental group, adipose derived stem cell conditioned medium hydrogel was applied twice a day on the right side of the mouse back, and in the control group, fresh medium hydrogel was applied twice a day on the left side of the mouse back. The treatment period lasted for 7 days. Healing time and healing process were observed to calculate the healing rate. Histopathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining at paraffin sections at 4, 14, 28 days after skin scald. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells had fibroblast-like morphology and proliferated vigorously, and the average doubling time was 55 hours. These cells could be induced to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes. High expression of CD29, CD44, CD90 and CD105 were observed on these cells with low expression of CD31 and CD34, which met the standard of mesenchymal stem cells. (2) Thethermosensitive hydrogel prepared by the conditioned medium was cool and transparent viscous liquid at 4-20 ℃, and was changed into semi-solid gel at( 37 ℃ after 15 minutes. (3) The normal structure) subcutaneous fat and muscle tissue (of 95 ℃ aluminum block scalded mice wer) standards of degree III burns. The wound area was roughly 3 cm2. (4) In the repair process, shorter wound healing time, less scar and better dermis structure were observed in the experimental group compared with the control group. (5) Inflammatory infiltration, thickness of granulation tissue, epidermal thickness, fibroblasts and vascular density were significantly improved in the experimental group as compared with the control group (P < 0.05). To conclude, human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells conditioned medium hydrogel can promote the wound healing and promote the quality of regenerated skin after skin scald.

Objective To control residual DNA by optimizing methodology during the production of rabies vaccine using Vero cells as a vector .Methods The antigen recovery rate was assessed by linked immunosorbent assay-sandwich technique while the residual DNA was detected by DNA probe hybridization method .Antigen recovery and removal of DNA were the main indexes for evaluateing ultrafiltration , the vital part of rabies vaccine production .Three key factors in ultrafiltration were assessed: selection of membrane packages , ultrafiltration pressure and the concentration ratio .Then protamine was used to pretreat ultrafiltrates .Based on the two indicators mentioned above , the effect of protamine pretreat-ment on the ultrafiltrate was evaluated .Results and Conclusion The optimum condition of ultrafiltration was obtained on the basis of the general antigen recovery rate , DNA removal rate and actual production .The primary parameters of ultrafil-tration were as follows:7.5 ×105 ultrafiltration membrane packages, 20 times concentrated, 15 psi ultrafiltration pressure. After pretreatment with protamine , ultrafiltration has proved to be a molecular sieve in intercepting DNA ,while protamine can tangle the fragmented DNA and form a larger molecular segment , which is believed to be more conducive to ultrafiltra-tion interception .

Objective To explore the relationship between DNA repair gene XRCC1 and XPD polymorphisms and individual susceptibility to prostate cancer. Methods PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay was used to analyze the XRCC1 (C26304T and G28152A) and XPD A35931C polymorphisms in 358 prostate cancer patients and 312 healthy controls. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate odd ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CD for estimating the correlation between different genotypes and prostate cancer risks. Results Forty-seven(13.1%) cases present XRCC1 28152AA genotype in prostate cancer group, while 24 cases in the control group (7. 1%), individuals with this genotype had a significantly increased risk for prostate cancer (OR 1. 924, 95%CI=1.126 - 3. 288, P=0. 017). There was no significant difference between two groups at XRCC1 C26304T and XPD A35931C sites. Combined analysis of the three sites polymorphisms showed that individuals with XRCC1 28152 AA and XPD 35931AC+CC genotype had a higher risk of prostate cancer than those with three wild genotypes (OR = 3. 087,95%CI 1. 081 - 8.813;OR = 3. 376,95%CI 1.067-10.683;OR 3. 216,95%CI=1. 439-7.188,P = 0. 004). Analysis stratified by age of onset, PSA, Gleason score and T stage revealed that XRCC1 28152AA and XPD 35931 AC+CC high-risk genotype was especially associated with early age at onset of prostate cancer (P<0. 05). Conclusions The XRCC1 and XPD genotypes may be contributed to the risk of developing prostate cancer, particularly for younger patients.

Objective To examine the suscepribility of the single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in IL-1 gene in Chinese Han population to ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods An correlation analysis was performed in a case-control cohort of 162 AS cases, 58 patients with other autoimmune diseases and 162 controls. Four SNPs located in the IL-1 gene (rs16944, rs3811058, rs419598, rs315952) were examined by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). Results The frequencies of allele C at position rs16944, rs3811058, rs419598 significantly increased in AS cases VS controls, so did their genotype frequencies (50% vs 36.3%, 57.9% vs 52.8%, 45.7% vs 12.3%, P＜0.05). The SNPs of these sites significantly influenced the prevalence of AS. Conclusion We discover that SNPs of IL-1 gene Rs16944, Rs419598, Rs3811058 is closely related to the occurrence of AS.

AIM:This study continuously monitors the hemodynamic changes in conscious and anesthetic rats during rapid ascent to high altitude to investigate whether there is difference between the 2 conditions and discuss the rela-ted underlying mechanism.METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into conscious group, anesthetic group, anesthetic-5000-control ( A-5000-control) group, anesthetic-5000-aminoguanidine ( A-5000-AG) group, conscious-5000-control ( C-5000-control ) group and conscious-5000-aminoguanidine ( C-5000-AG ) group.The rats in anesthetic group and conscious group were kept in a hypobaric chamber, in which the simulated altitude was increased from 2 260 m to 5 000 m at 2 m/s, and the rats in other 4 groups were at 5 000 m.The system arterial pressure ( Psa) , central venous pressure ( CVP) , heart rate ( HR) and breathing rate ( BR) were directly and continuously displayed and digitally recorded by a high-performance data acquisition (PowerLab 16/35, AD Instruments) at 200 Hz.RESULTS: The HR and BR in the conscious rats were higher and MAP was lower than those in the anesthetic rats obviously.A significant decrease in mean arterial pressure ( MAP) in conscious and anesthetic groups was observed following the increase in the altitude levels, and the net decrease in MAP in conscious group was significantly greater.Additionally, HR in the conscious rats was sig-nificantly lower at 5 000 m than that of the initial level.The rats in C-5000-AG group and A-5000-AG group showed a sig-nificant increase in the arterial pressure after the intravenous injection of AG, a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS) , and no marked change of HR and BR was found.CONCLUSION: Blood pressure and HR decrease during rapid ascent to high altitude, while the change of BR is not obvious.The mechanisms of self-safety would be trig-gered in the early stage of hypoxia, which activates iNOS and then leads to a larger number of nitric oxide.Plentiful NO di-astolizes the vessels to improve the ventilation-perfusion mismatch and lower the blood pressure.When the altitude arise to 5 000 m, even more earlier, a decompensatory stage may occur in the body, leading to decreased HR and blood pressure further more than those in the anesthetic rats.Due to the effects of pentobarbital sodium, the depression of blood pressure requires a lag period and the net decrease in MAP is less than that in the conscious rats.Therefore, hemodynamic changes during rapid ascent to high altitude in conscious rats are more comprehensive and authentic.

BACKGROUND:Tumor recurrence results from the incomplete removal of cancer stem cel s with self-renewal characteristics, and then how to label and eliminate cancer stem cel s becomes the key to cancer treatment. OBJECTIVE:To observe the morphology,distribution and number of CD44+/C-myc+METHODS:Pathological tissues from 150 patients with colorectal cancer were taken to prepare tissue microarray, in order to observe and count CD44 cel s in colorectal cancer, and to explore the relationship between the expression and postoperative metastasis.+/C-myc+cel s by using immunohistochemical double staining. Patients were fol owed up through mobile phones , letters , and so on, and the relationship between the expression of CD44+/C-myc+cel s and postoperative metastasis were statistical y recorded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no CD44+/C-myc+cel s in normal tissue and little in adenoma. A smal number of CD44+/C-myc+cel s distributed as dots or focal lesions in adenocarcinoma. The number of CD44+/C-myc+cel s was related to the degree of adenocarcinoma differentiation, depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The univariate analysis showed that the overal survival rate and progression-free survival rate were associated with the number of CD44+/C-myc+cel s, lymph node metastasis and Ducks staging in adenocarcinoma (P<0.05). The multivariate analysis showed that the overal survival rate was related to CD44+/C-myc+cel amount and the progression-free survival rate was related to CD44+/C-myc+cel amount and the Ducks staging. Therefore, CD44+/C-myc+cel s are probably cancer stem cel s, and Ducks staging and CD44+/C-myc+cel amount are important prognostic factors for colorectal cancer.
