1.Cord blood stem cells for ischemic stoke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(5):378-381
At present, ischemie stroke is one of the main diseases of the highest mortality and disability in the world. However, the traditional treatment methods (for example, thrombolytic therapy) have some disadvantages, such as narrow time window, and poor efficacy. As a cell therapy, cord blood stem cell transplantation has brought hope to the treatment of refractory nervous system diseases.
2.EFFECTS OF FU-TZE "801" ON SURVIVAL AND MICROCIRCU- LATORY CHANGES IN BURN SHOCK RATS
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(02):-
The antishock properties of Fu-tze "801" , an active fraction isolated from the root of Aconite,were studied on burned rats. The rats were given 65-70% TB'SA second degree scalds. All animals died in a short time postburn. Using this rat model, it was found that the marked spasmodic rhythmic constriction in arterioles occurred and the microierculatory flow state showed pronounced derangements in the me-senteric microcirculation, and platelet aggregate increased in circulating blood.After treatment with Fu-tze "801" , the survival and the mirocirculation were improved in the scalded rats, these findings suggest that Fu-tze "801" affords the antishock action on rats after a major scald burn.
3.Thrombolytic strategies for acute ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(11):871-875
Thrombolytic therapy is a main treatment method for ischemic stroke.Intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA) is the only FDA-approved therapy for acute stroke; however,its clinical application has been limited because the narrow therapeutic time window and the presence of the risk of hemorrhagic complication.In order solve these problems,a large number of clinical trials have started to focus on the studies of intra-arterial thrombolysis,mechanical thrombolysis and sonothrombolysis.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of sodium hyaluronate combined with glucosamine in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. METHODS:1 220 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The patients in control group were treated with Sodium hyaluronate injection alone,once a week;while the ob-servation group was additionally and orally treated with Glucosamine hydrochloride capsules two tablets,three times a day. The course of treatment was 5 weeks in both groups. The relevant physicotherapeutics and oral medication in the treatment of the dis-ease should be stopped. The clinic efficacy,visual analog scale(VAS)and lysholm knee score before and after treatment,and inci-dence of adverse reaction were observed. RESULTS:Total effective rate of observation group was significantly higher than control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0.05). After treatment,VAS and lysholm knee scores in both groups were signifi-cantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,with significant differences(P<0.05). There were no severe adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Sodium hyaluronate combined with glucosamine has more signifi-cant clinical efficacy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis than sodium hyaluronate alone,with good safety.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of wound healing 30 days after treatment in patients with pressure ulcer. Methods Two hundred and forty-five hospitalized patients with pressure ulcer between January 2015 and October 2016 were selected. They were divided into the healed group and the unhealed group 30 days after the treatment. The influencing factors 13 indexes including age, gender, edema, the number of diseases, the number of pressure ulcer, the size of pressure ulcer, PUSH score (Pressure Ulcer Scale Healing), hemoglobin, serum albumin, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood homocysteine underwent single factor and Logistic regression analysis. Results Single factor analysis of 12 indicators of risk factors affecting healing were age, Hb, Alb, Hcy, area of ulcer and PUSH scores of the 6 indicators in the regression equation (Z=3.11-6.63, All P < 0.01), gender also entered the regression equation (χ2=0.19, P<0.01);further multivariate regression analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in PUSH score index (χ2=10.47, P<0.01, OR=0.001, 95%confidence interval were 0.001-0.037). Conclusions Age, gender, Hb, Alb, Hcy and PU area were the risk factors of pressure ulcer healing.

Objective To investigate the correlation between T cell subsets and HCV viralload in HCV infection. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect peripheral T cell subsets count of 69 patients with hepatitis C and 20 cases of normal health human, and fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect viral load in patients with hepa-titis C. Results ① The study showed that the percentage ratio of CD4 +T cells (42.87 ±6.11) and of CD4 +/CD8 +(1.34±0.25) in patients patients was significantly lower than those of normal health group,it was 49.55±6.68 and 1.82±0.11 (P<0.01);but the percentage ratio of CD8 +T cells (32.78±5.48) was higher than that of the normal health human ( 27.35 ±4.32 ) ( P<0.01 ) . There were no significant differences between the two groups in the percentage ratio of CD3 + T cells. ② The viral load gradually increased as the percentage ratio of CD8 +T cells increased, while the percentage ratio of CD4 +T cells and the percentage ratio of CD4 +T cells and CD4 +/ CD8 + were decreased gradually. Conclusion It may be one of the important reasons as the chronic infec-tion of hepatitis C virus by change of T cell subsets, and may be an important cause leading to the decrease of T lymphocyte response ability as the expression level of HCV RNA increases.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B10-127 was used to produce 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) from residual glycerol obtained from biodiesel synthesis. Important variables for 2,3-BD fermentation, pH and dissolved oxygen, were studied. When pH was maintained constant, the yield of 2,3-BD was inhibited. The highest 2,3-BD yields were achieved by fermentation without any pH control with an optimized initial pH 6.5. Batch fermentative production of 2,3-BD by B. amyloliquefaciens was investigated using various oxygen supply methods by changing agitation speed. Based on the analysis of three kinetic parameters including specific cell growth rate (micro), specific glucose consumption rate (q(s)) and specific 2,3-BD formation rate (q(p)), a three-stage agitation speed control strategy was proposed, aimed at achieving high concentration, high yield and high productivity of 2,3-BD. Maximum concentration of 2,3-BD reached 38.1 g/L, with the productivity of 1.06 g/(L x h), which were 14.8% and 63.1% over the best results from constant agitation speeds. In a pulse fed-batch fermentation, 2,3-BD concentration and productivity were significantly improved to 71.2 g/L and 0.99 g/(L x h), respectively. To our knowledge, these results were the highest for 2,3-BD production from biodiesel-derived glycerol.

Objective To investigate the correlation between vitamin D receptor gene and bone mass and obesity phenotypes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods 318 patients with type 2 diabetes were chosen as diabetes group,and 50 healthy people were selected as healthy control group.Vitamin D receptor gene Apa Ⅰ type was detected in the two groups.Height,weight and body mass index(BMI)biochemical index,fat content(FM),lean tissue content(LM)and bone mineral density were detected in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.The relationship between vitamin D receptor gene(Apa Ⅰ)polymorphism and BMD and obesity phenotypes in type 2 diabetes was analyzed.Results The VDR gene distribution between the diabetes group and healthy control group showed no signif-icant difference(Z =0.561,P >0.05).The vitamin D receptor genotype in the diabetes group included AA 31 cases (9.7%),Aa type 108 cases(34.0%),aa type 179 cases(56.3%),while the vitamin D receptor genotype in the healthy control group comprised AA 7 cases(9.3%),Aa type 29 cases(38.7%),aa type 39 cases(52.0%).The percentage of AA in both groups was significantly less than that of Aa and aa(χ2 diabetic group =4.127,3.976,all P <0.05;χ2 healthy control group =5.129,4.213,all P <0.05).Proportion of normal bone mass and average bone density in AA,Aa,aa type decreased(χ2 =15.552,P <0.05;F =5.127,P <0.05),the genotype AA was not detec-ted in osteoporosis group.BMI and FM were the highest in AA,which were significantly higher than those of Aa,aa (F =4.319,4.263,all P <0.05).Conclusion Vitamin D receptor gene Apa Ⅰ type polymorphism is related with BMD and obesity in type 2 diabetes mellitus,and it has predictive value on bone mass changes.The increase of BMI and FMmay be beneficial to bone mineral density.
