BACKGROUND:Liver cancer pathogenesis and intervention have attracted increasing attentions. Mesenchymal stem cel s become a popular tool for cel cancer research, because of their low immunogenicity and tumor tropism. At present, mesenchymal stem cel s have been applied to the study of liver cancer.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the advances of mesenchymal stem cel s used in liver cancer in basic and clinical research.
METHODS:An online retrieval of CNKI and Pubmed database was performed by the first author for the articles about mesenchymal stem cel s and effect of modified mesenchymal stem cel s on hepatoma carcinoma cel s published from January 2004 to January 2013. The key words were“mesenchymal stem cel , liver cancer, tumor”in Chinese and English. Repetitive research was excluded, and 47 studies met the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Stem cel s are seldom reported in liver cancer, and the limited present study show that mesenchymal stem cel s may have a certain influence on the hepatoma carcinoma cel proliferation, invasion and biological behavior. However, due to the differences of cel lines used by the various laboratories, experimental conditions, animal models, as wel as infusion means of stem cel s, experimental results are also inconsistent. Scholars have conducted a series of studies on the mechanism of the Wnt pathway and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand pathway. Tropism of mesenchymal stem cel s to tumor cel s, including liver cancer is widely recognized, so scholars imported therapeutic genes and drugs into mesenchymal stem cel s to interfere with the development of liver cancer, and have achieved some progress. This evidence provides new avenues for cel therapy for liver cancer. Less safety studies in vivo and clinical trials of mesenchymal stem cel s are available, therefore security risks deserve further research.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).MethodsRetrospective cross-sectional studies were conducted to examine the relationship between NAFLD and the severity of CAD. CAD was diagnosed by coronary angiography and NAFLD by type-B ultrasound.ResultsThe logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension, NAFLD, diabetes, smoking, and high level of γ-glutamyltransferase were risk factors of multiplevessel lesions and occlusion of CAD( P<0.05 or P<0.01 ) , and high levels of total cholesterol and alanine aminotransferase were risk factors of multiple-vessel lesions ( P<0. 05 or P<0.01 ) , family history was a risk factor of occlusion of CAD, whereas, high level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was an important protective factor of multiple-vessel lesions and occlusion of CAD ( P<0. 01 ). NAFLD was a dependent risk factor of multiple-vessel lesions and occlusion of CAD( P<0.05 or P<0. 01 ). ConclusionsNAFLD could be regarded as a main risk factor of the severity of CAD. Clinicians should pay more attention to the prevention and treatment of NAFLD in order to improve the outcome of CAD.

Objective To study the expression characteristics of cytokeratin 19(CK19) in different live tissues from victims with third-degree burns to explore the possible mechanisms of tissue reparation and regeneration in orthophoria.Methods 10 young victims with third-degree burns were included in this study.Alive tissues at different regeneration stages were studied by immunohistochemistry with streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase method using specific anti-CK19 monoclonal antibody. Only cytoplasm expression was considered as specific.Normal skin tissue and chronic skin ulcer were used as controls.The study was focused on the distribution and morphological features of CK19-positive cells.Results ⑴In normal skin ,CK19-positive cells were seen in basialis layer of epiderm and cutaneous appendages.⑵CK19-positive cells were not found in subcutaneous tissue at 3~6 days after the injury,but they were seen in granulation tissues.⑶A lot of CK19-positive cells were detected in early regeneration tissues.⑷In late regeneration tissues,CK19-positive cells were detected in basialis layer of epiderm and cutaneous appendages.⑸Advanced regenerationed epidermal tissue was similar to that of normal.⑹No CK19-positive cells were observed in all of 6 cases with chronic skin ulcer.Conclusion It is possible that victims with third-degree burns could be healed by tissue regeneration orthophoria.

BACKGROUND:The meningeal defect patients can be treated with artificial dural materials combined neurosurgical techniques which can protect the integrity of brain tissue. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biocompatibility and application feasibility of various artificial dura mater materials. METHODS:The artificial dura materials were classified according to the different sources, and the biocompatible and application feasibility of various artificial dura mater materials were analyzed, as wel as the advantages and disadvantages of various materials. The anticoagulant and hemolytic properties of the materials were analyzed through recalcification test and hemolysis test. 100 patients receiving col agen membrane repair selected from Department of Neurosurgery, Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The dural repair materials mainly include autologous material, al ograft materials, dissimilar materials, synthetic materials and natural materials. Each kind of material has its advantages and disadvantages. Meningeal defect complications include cerebrospinal fluid leakage, pseudo meninges, infection and arachnoiditis. There are many problems of artificial dural materials to be solved, and the novel biological dural materials and absorbable materials are the direction of dural material research.

Objective To investigate differences between Han and Uyghur children in dyslexia prevalence and potential environmental risk factors as well as to provide diagnosis and treatment evidence for dyslexia children . Methods We used cluster sampling to recruit 2 854 students in grades 3~6 from five Uyghur -Chinese bilingual primary schools in Xinjiang province .The children with dyslexia were selected step by step according to the defini‐tion of ICD-10 and DSM -IV .The children with DD and children without DD were selected and compared by 1∶1 of the same class ,ages and genders .Then single factor analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to as‐sess children'environmental risk factors .Results In total ,2 438 effective quostionnaires have been got .The difference between Han (3 .89% ) and Uyghur (7 .05% ) dyslexia prevalence was statistically significant .The factor analysis revealed that educational grades ,family income ,father's and mother's occupations ,and their education levels as well as some home literacy environmental factors were significantly different for the two groups of children with dyslexia (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The prevalence of dyslexia was high in both groups ,and especially for Uyghur children . Some environmental factors may be responsible for the differences noted ,especially for the occupation of mother .

Objective To compare the cost-effectiveness of intervention protocols with or without rehabilitation approaches for burn patients.To explore the pros and cons of the two treatment programs,especially in terms of efficacy.Methods Data on 164 burn patients hospitalized in four hospitals in Hunan Province were collected and compared in terms of the therapeutic interventions employed,the direct medical costs and the effects obtained at the end of the first two months of hospitalization.The patients were divided into an early rehabilitation therapy group and a control group,based on the interventions they received.Results The average total direct medical cost of the early rehabilitation group was significantly lower than that of the control group [((¥)59 380.80 ±196.87) versus ((¥)67 471.62 ±217.23)].The average Vancouver scar scale (VSS) results in the early rehabilitation group were significantly better than those of the controls,but their Zung's Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Barthel index scores were not.The average cost-effectiveness ratio (C/E) of the early rehabilitation group as judged by these scores was lower than that of the control group.Conclusion Early rehabilitation can improve the therapy of burns patients and reduce subsequent expenditures.It is a cost-effective approach to treating burns patients.
