BACKGROUND:Critical limb ischemia is difficult to be treated among the peripheral arterial occlusive diseases, and the application of transplanting autologous stem cells can bring a hope for the treatment of this disease.
OBJECTIVE: To review the autologous stem cells transplantation in the treatment of critical limb ischemia at present, and to study the mechanism and the existing problems.
METHODS:A computer retrieval of PubMed database, Wanfang database, and CNKI database was conducted to search the related articles with the keywords of“stem cell, transplant, critical limb ischemia”in English and Chinese. Final y, 47 articles were included in final analysis according to the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Autologous stem cells transplantation for treatment of lower extremity ischemic disease is a latest and significantly effective treatment, but the mechanism is unclear and stil needs further study.

Thirty cases of rheumatoid arthritis were treated by the needle-warming method on bilateral Shenshu (BL 23), Zusanli (ST 36) and Quchi (LI 11), in combination with oral administration of Chinese herbal drugs, and 30 cases were treated by routine western medications for comparison.After treatment for three months, the effective rate was respectively 86.7% and 60.0% in the two groups and the difference of the therapeutic effect was statistically significant (P＜0.05).

Objective To investigated the neuroprotective effect of PTEN inhibitor BPV on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and its mechanism. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to induce a reperfusion model of middle cerebral artery occlusion for 1 h. During the reperfusion, the BPV solution (0. 2 mg/kg daily) or the equal volume of saline was injected intraperitonealy immediately. The neurological deficit scores were conducted at day 1, 3,5, and 7 after ischemia-reperfusion. At day 4, triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining was used to assess cerebral infarction volume. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) in cortical ischemic border zones. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression level of PTEN mRNA. Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K, Akt, and p-GSK-3β. At day 7, Bielschowsky silver staining was used to detect the axonal distribution in the ischemic border zone of the striatum. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP). Results At day 4 after ischemia-reperfusion, the infarct volume (32. 27% ± 1. 71% vs. 45. 49% ± 2. 12% ; P < 0. 001), TNF-α concentration in the cortical ischemic border zones (134. 17 ± 10. 38 pg/ml vs. 264. 17 ± 24. 84 pg/ml; P < ), and PTEN mRNA level (1. 19 ± 0. 08 vs. 2. 50 ± 0. 06; P < 0. 001) in the rats of the BPV group were al significantly lower than those of the normal saline group. The IL-10 concentration (186. 83 ± 10. 83 pg/ml vs. 147. 83 ± 11. 62 pg/ml; P < 0. 001), and the expression levels of PI3K (0. 43 ± 0. 08 vs. 0. 26 ± 0. 06; P = 0. 004), Akt (0. 52 ± 0. 05 vs. 0. 40 ± 0. 04;P = 0. 001), and p-GSK-3β (0. 75 ± 0. 08 vs. 0. 38 ± 0. 06; P < 0. 001) were al significantly higher than those of the normal saline group. At day 7 after ischemia-reperfusion, the neurological deficit score (4. 83 ± 0. 41 vs. 6. 33 ± 0. 52; P < 0. 001) in the rats of the BPV group was significantly lower than that of the normal saline group. The axon densities in the ischemic border zones (35. 51% ± 2. 45% vs. 25. 31% ± 2. 79% ; P < 0. 001) and the expression level of MBP (32. 56% ± 3. 46% vs. 27. 81% ± 4. 18% ; P = 0. 037) were significantly higher than those of the normal saline group. Conclusions BPV has neuroprotective effect for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Its mechanism may be associated with the up-regulation of PTEN downstream proteins PI3K, Akt and p-GSK-3β expression to regulate inflammatory mediators and reduce the inflammatory response.

Objective To explore the nursing care for the stiff-man syndrome patient.Methods Retrospective analysis had been performed for the nursing care of a patient with stiff-man syndrome.Results After 4 weeks of careful treatment and nursing care,the patient was discharged from the hospital.Conclusions Suitable nursing according to patients' condition,medication monitoring,psychological care,safety nursing and health guidance can prevent or delay the development of the disease and promote comprehensive rehabilitation for patients.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of sodium aescinate (SA) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in rats.Methods SAP model was induced by intraductal administration of 5％ taurocholic acid sodium salt.SD rats were then randomly divided into 3 groups (n =16),namely sham,model and SA group (5 mg/kg).Drugs or saline(10 ml/kg) were administered via caudal vein 30 min post-operation.The serum amylase was measured with spectrophotometer and pancreatic histological changes were observed under microscope 6 h and 12 h post-operation,respectiveiy.Results Pancreatic histological grades in the model group were (9.42 ± 1.06) and (18.30± 2.18) 6 h and 12 h post-operation,respectively,which showed significant differences (P＜0.01) compared with the sham group [(0.55 ±0.20) and 0,respectively].SA evidently reduced the severity of pancreatic pathology and improved the tissue inflammation in rats with SAP.Pancreatic histological grades were (7.85±1.33) and (12.75±1.69)in the SA group 6 h and 12 h post-operation,respectively,which had significant differences compared with the model group (P＜0.05).Serum amylase levels in model group were (2612 ± 59) U/L and(3004±687)U/L6 h and 12 h post-operation,respectively,which showed significant differences (P ＜ 0.01) compared with the sham group [(928 ± 271) and (890± 295) U/L,respectively].Serum amylase levels were reduced to (1790± 336) U/L and (2093 ± 298) U/L in the SA group 6 h and 12 h post-operation,respectively.SA markedly inhibited the level of serum amylase compared to the model group (P＜0.01).Conclusion SA could protect rats with SAP effectively.

Objective To discuss the indication, technique, effect, and safety of endoscopic treatment of SMT in gastrointestinal tract. Methods Endoscopic therapy was performed in 94 patients with gastrointestinal diagnosed by endoscopy. 22 cases underwent EMR; 61 cases were treated with ESD; MBM was exercised on 7 cases; and nylon endoloop ligature were carried out on 4 cases. Results Complete resection was achieved on 86 cases, and 1 case was excised partially. 1 patient with SMT was transferred to open surgery. Lumps of 4 SMT cases treated by nylon endoloop ligature were found disappeared at subsequent visit after a month. All patients were followed up for one year, and no recurrence was found. Conclusions Gastrointestinal SMT can be completely resected by EMR, ESD and MBM. Nylon endoloop ligature can be used for the treatment of SMT in position difficult to deal with. Endoscopic therapy is relatively safe, effective, and minimal invasion for SMT.

Reovirus,a kind of oncolytic viruses, is seldom pathogenic, but is selectively able to replicate in cancer cells through activation of Ras signaling. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that treatment with reovirus is associated with significant anticancer activity across a range of tumor types. Further clinical evaluation of reovirus therapy has shown that it is well tolerated when administered locally or systemically. Encouraging anticancer efficacy has been observed with single-agent treatment and in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. High safety and promising efficacy of reovirus has raised hopes that it will become a new anticancqt agent.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in anti-infective treatment for the patient with septic shock. METHODS:Clinical pharmacists participated in anti-infective treatment for a patient with septic shock,assisted physicians to formulate individual regimen based on empirical anti-infective treatment,ESBLs producing Escherichia coli and anti-fungal treat-ment. Clinical pharmacists suggested using Itraconazole injection 200 mg,ivgtt,qd,for anti-fungal treatment;Itraconazole cap-sules 200 mg,po,bid,instead of fusidinic for anti-fungal treatment;meropenem 0.5 g,ivgtt,q6 h,for anti-infective treatment. RESULTS:Physicians adopted the suggestion of clinical pharmacists;the infection had been controlled after 16 d treatment and then the patient discharged from the hospital. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical pharmacists participate in clinical treatment,and assist phy-sicians to make a decision and formulate individual regimen,so as to promote rational drug use.
