BACKGROUND:Preterm premature rupture of the membrane is a frequent complication during gestational period. Three-dimensional culture can help damaged tissue restore anatomical integrality,being worth for clinical application. OBJECTIVE:To explore biological characteristics of human amniotic cells three-dimensionally cultured by fibrin scaffold,study the possibility of cell/scaffold composite material for repairing preterm premature rupture of the membrane,and to compare with normal monolayer culture. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:An in vitro cell/scaffold study was performed at the Basic Institute of Chongqing University of Medical Science between December 2007 and November 2008. MATERIALS:Amnion tissue derived from uterine-incision delivery women was provided by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,the First Affiliated Hospital,Chongqing University of Medical Sciences;fibrinogen was provided by Sigma,USA. METHODS:Either epithelial cells or mesenchymal cells,being isolated from human amniotic membrane,were cultivated using enzyme digestion and repeated adherence methods. Fibrinogen was conglomerated,and epithelial cells of logarithmic growth were plated onto the surface of fibrin scaffold to simulate a three-dimensional culture in vitro. Before conglomerating fibrinogen,mesenchymal cells of logarithmic growth were mixed with fibrin solution to simulate a three-dimensional culture in vivo. In addition,either epithelial cells or mesenchymal cells were incubated onto 24-well plate for normal monolayer culture. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Cell morphology using inverted microscopy,proliferation of mesenchymal cells,and interaction between mesenchymal cells and scaffold under different culture environments. RESULTS:Epithelial cells were round and smooth on the surface of fibrin scaffold,pseudopodia were stretched out,and microvillus were rich. Mesenchymal cells in fibrin glue were fusiform in shape and stretched out along scaffold. Cells formed net structure at different surfaces. By three-dimensional culture,proliferation of mesenchymal cells was stable but slow compared to monolayer culture. By in vivo three-dimensional culture,fibrin glue gradually shrank and gel thickness gradually decreased. On the 5th day,the gel thickness was only 40% for the initial thickness,and on the 15th day,gel thickness was 10%. CONCLUSION:Both epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells can sterically grow on fibrin scaffold,and the proliferation is stable. Fibrin glue gradually shrinks in cell/fibrin composite scaffold,suggesting that amniotic cells/fibrin composite scaffold can simulate body tissues to repair preterm premature rupture of the membrane.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of Toutongning capsule combined with nimodipine in the treatment of 76 patients with primary vascular headache.Methods 76 patients with primary vascular headache were selected as the research subjects.According to the different surgery,the patients were randomly divided into control group (n =38) and observation group (n =38).The control group was given compound Danshen injection,while the observation group was given Toutongning capsule combined with nimodipine.The efficacy,the peak systolic velocity(Vs) and pulsatility index(PI) of each vessel,the time of stopping pain,recurrence rate and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 94.74％,which was higher than 84.21％ of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.785,P ＜ 0.05).The MCA,ACA,BA,VA value of Vs and PI,the time of stopping pain and recurrence rate in the observation group were better than those in the control group (t =5.385,6.834,7.407,6.651,4.032,5.716,6.203,5.016,4.785,x2 =5.473,all P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups in PCA value of Vs and PI and adverse reaction(t =0.283,0.037,x2 =0.314,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Toutongning capsule combined with nimodipine in the treatment of primary vascular headache has high application value and significant effect,and it can promote cerebral circulation,blood flow,time of stopping pain and recurrence rate,so it is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Objective To study the effect of milrinone(Mil) and prostaglandin E1(PGE1) on postoperative right ventricular failure(RVF). Methods 28 patients with congenital heart diseases and pulmonary hypertension undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were randomly divided into four groups: control group (group I), receiving Mil (Group II), receiving PGE1 (Group III), and receiving both Mil and PGE1(group IV). The hemodynamic indexes of all the patients, including mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), cardiac index(CI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR), were measured and compared. Intubation time and side effects were observed. Results Compared with the other three groups, postoperative PAP、PVR and SVR in group IV deceased and CI increased significantly. The intubation time was also shorter in group IV. Conclusion Postoperative RVF can be treated efficiently by using Mil and PGE1.

Objective To assess quantitatively the association between smoking and the risk of disease and death from pulmonary tuberculosis(TB) by a meta-analysis. Methods Both Chinese and English literatures published from Jan. 1999 to Jun. 2010 about the case-control study of the association between smoking and pulmonary TB were retrieved by searching the electronic resource databases. A meta-analysis was then performed on the comparison and synthesis of findings from included studies. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a software RevMan 4.2. Finally,possible publication bias was tested and a sensitivity analysis was conducted. Results The meta-analysis for total 22 high-quality case-control studies found a pooled OR of 2.56 (95% CI 1. 80 ～3.64) with a random-effects model. Sensitivity analysis showed that pooled OR was 2.56 (95% 1.76 ～3.71 ) by removing two papers of nested case-control study. The OR were 2.13 (95% CI1.76～2.58) and 4.60 (95% CI 1.81～11.69) for disease and death from TB,respectively. After confounding factors,including age and gender,had been controlled the OR was 2.53 (95% CI 1.27 ～5.03 ) whereas 1. 99(95% CI 1.54 ～ 2.56 ) without control of them. Conclusion Smoking can increase the risk of incidence and death of TB. TB control programs and treatment of patients might benefit from interventions aimed at reducing tobacco exposure.
