Objective:To explore the clinical effect of negative pressure wound therapy and to discuss the ethi-cal issues in this therapy and seek a solution. Methods:Sixty patients with negative pressure wound therapy in our hospital were invited to participate in this study. Patients were all with deep pressure ulcers or diabetic foot, of which the Wagner Scores were graded as three or four. They were divided into two groups randomly. The subjects in control group received standard treatment, while those in experimental group were treated by self -designed closed negative pressure drainage settings. The wound healing time, the cost of the treatment and comfort were compared between the two groups. Results:The cost of wound care in the experimental group was less than those in the control group (P<0. 001). There was no significant difference in comfort between two groups (P>0. 05). But the wound healing time was longer in the experimental group than those in the control group. Conclusion:Self-designed closed negative pressure settings can decrease the cost of patient care with the equal patient comfort and acceptance as the standard negative pressure, however, the wound healing time has been extended. So before using negative pressure technique, the medical staff should comprehensively analyze, be guided by medical ethics and choose the appropriate treatment for different patients.

Objective To investigate whether the release of fibroblast growth factor-1 ( FGF-1 ) was changed after inhibition of S100A13 gene (small hairpin RNA, shRNA)and serum-deprivation in human thyroid cancer cells (TT cells ). Methods The S100A13-shRNA pENTRTM/U6 entry vector was transfected into TT cells. The expression of S100A13 mRNA and protein was detected by immunoflurescence, real-time RT-PCR, and Western blot. Then TT cells were treated with S100A13 gene inhibition and serum-deprivation. The changes in release of FGF-1 were detected by indirect immunoflurescence, RT-PCR, and ELISA. Results S100A13 shRNA transfected TT cells (S100A13 RNAi cells)had a reduction of S100A13 gene and protein expression by 80%.Indirect immunofluorescence indicated FGF-1 was mostly localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus of TT cells in primary culture. When serum-deprivation stress was given to TT cells, FGF-1 in cytoplasm almost disappeared in the cells at 6 h. RT-PCR indicated that when serum-deprivation stress was given to TT cells the mRNA of FGF-1 was reduced. ELISA showed that with inhibition of S100A13, the release of FGF-1 was reduced (P<0.05).Conclusion S100A13-shRNA pENTRTM/U6 entry vector transfected TT cells may inhibit the expression of S100A13 and reduce the release of FGF-1.

Objective To observe the effects of puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) and dexamethasone (DEX) on the expression and distribution of pedocin in vitro, and to explore the possible mechanism of DEX in improving proteinuria. Methods Mouse podecyte cells (MPCs) in control group were cultured with RPMI-1640 plus 0.02% DMSO, and were subjected to PAN treatment alone (PAN group) or PAN plus DEX (DEX group) for 8, 24,48 hours respectively. The pedocyte morphology was observed by phase-contrast microscope, and was analyzed by Image J. The distribution, mRNA and protein expression of podocin were detected by indirect immunocytofluorescence, semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Results The well-developed arborization and interconnection of podocytes were found in control group. PAN treatment led to significant shrinkage of pedocytes with decreased distribution at 43% of control group at 8 h, 10% at 24 h and 5.7% at 48 h (P<0.01), respectively, together with podocyte foot process retraction as well as effacement and loss of cell contact. RT-PCR revealed podoein mRNA expression prone to decrease. Western blot showed podoein protein expression was significantly decreased and immunocytochemistry revealed podoein expression was disappeared in the cellular membrane after PAN treatment. DEX significantly prevented the shrinkage of podcytes, with decreased area at 43.9% of control at 8 h, 26.2% at 24 h and 29.6% at 48 h (P<0.05), respectively, and up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of podocin at 48 h (P<0.05). The abnormal distribution of podocin was also alleviated by DEX. Conclusion DEX exerts a direct action on podocyte via stabilizing mRNA, protein expression and distribution of podocin, which may be associated with the improvement of proteinuria.

A UPLC-MS/MS method based on metabonomic skills was developed to study the serum metabolic changes of rats after acute liver injury induced by CCl4 and to evaluate the action mechanism of Si-Ni-San. The integrated data were exported for principal components analysis (PCA) by using SIMCA-P software, in order to find the potential biomarkers. It showed that clear separation of healthy control group, model group, silymarin group, Si-Ni-San group was achieved by using the PCA method. Nine significantly changed metabolites were identified as potential biomarkers of acute liver injury. Compared with the health control group, the model group rats showed higher levels of phenylalanine, tryptophan and GCDCA together with lower levels of LPC 16 : 0, LPC 18 : 0, LPC 18 : 1, LPC 16 : 1, LPC 20 : 4 and LPC 22 : 6. These changes of serum metabolites suggested that the disorders of amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, bile acid biosynthesis and anti-oxidative damage were related to acute liver injury induced by CCl4. Si-Ni-San might have the anti-liver injury effect on all these four metabolic pathways.

BACKGROUND: Stem cell transplantation in repairing infarct myocardium and in improving cardiac function has been widely accepted. However, whether transplanted cells and host cells formed an effective electricity and mechanical couple, whether a relevant independent electrical system with contractile function formed or whether severe malignant ventricular arrhythmia formed, are still unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate electrophysiological abnormaltiy and left ventricular remodeling in rats with myocardial infarction following allogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized controlled animal study was performed at the Experimental Center, Guangxi Medical University from December 2005 to October 2008.MATERIALS: A total of 120 healthy Wistar rats were equally randomized into normal control, sham operation, saline control and cell transplantation groups. Healthy Wister rats aged 1 month were selected to harvest bone marrow.METHODS: At the third passage, rat BMSCs were collected and treated with 5-aza, and differentiated into cerdiomyocytes.BMSCs were labeled with DAPI at 2 hours before transplantation. In the saline control and cell transplantation groups, rat models of myocardial infarction were established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. In the sham operation group, the coronary artery was not ligated, but only braid. At 7 days following ligation, BMSCs in the cell transplantation group at 2×10-1/L were infused into the edge and center of myocardial infarct region by multipoint injection. Rats in the other three groups were subjected to an equal volume of saline.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Electrocardiogram and cardiac electrophysiology were performed. Ultrasonic cardiography was used to detect left ventricular function. Infarct size was determined. DAPl-labeled donor cell migration and distribution was observed with a fluorescence microscope.RESULTS: BMSCs could differentiate into cardiacmuscle cell-like cells which were capable of pulsing spontaneously, expressing cardiactoponin T and forming myofilament in vitro. Compared with the saline control group, PR interval, QRS duration and ventdcular effective refractory period shortened, ventricular fibrillation threshold increased at 4, 8 and 12 weeks (P < 0.05); left ventricular internal diameter at end-systole reduced, and left ventricular ejection fraction and shortening traction was significantly increased (P< 0.05). At 8 and 12 weeks, infarct size was significantly smaller (P < 0.05). At 4 weeks, DAPl-labeled BMSCs could be seen under the fluorescence microscope, and still could he detected at 12 weeks. However, the fluorescence became weak with prolonged time.CONCLUSION: BMSCs have the plasticity of differentiating into cardiac muscle cell-like cells, which can modulate theelectrophysiological abnormality and left ventricular remodeling following myocardial infarction.
