This paper primarily discusses the effects of ultraviolet blood irradiation(UBI) on sudden deafness and comparison is made between the group of UBI and control. The results showed that the effctive rates of UBI on hearing and tinnitus were 75.86% and 82.60% respectively. Whereas the effective rates in control group were 55.55% and 54.54%. Therefore UBI is effective in the treatment of sudden deafness, especially for tinnitus.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of the survivin gene and CpC methylation in exon 1 of the survivin gene in CA tissue, and to study the expression of survivin protein in CA tissue and its modulation mechanism. Methods Tissue samples were obtained from the CA lesions of 30 patients, normal cervix of 10 female controls, and normal foreskin of 10 male controls. Immunohistochemistry was carried out to detect the expression of survivin protein in these specimens, RT-PCR to measure the mRNA expression of survivin, and methylation specific PCR (MSP) to analyze the methylation status of CpG island in the survivin gene exon 1. Results The positivity rate of survivin protein and mRNA was 90% (27/30) and 93.3% (28/30) in CA tissue specimens, respectively, 5% (1/20) and 5% (1/20) in control tissue specimens, respectively; there was a significant difference between the two groups of specimens in both the parameters (x2 = 35.187, 38.437, both P < 0.01). The demethylation of CpG island in the survivin gene exon 1 was observed in 86.7% (26/30) of the CA tissue specimens and in 15% (3/20) of the control tissue specimens (x2 = 10.865, P < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between the demethylation status of CpG island in exon 1 and the mRNA expression of survivin gene (x2 = 13.929, P = 0.014). Conclusions The expression of survivin protein in CA tissues might be associated with the demethylation of CpG island in exon 1 of the survivin gene, and may play a certain role in the development of CA.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors and preventive measures of postoperative wound infection in patients who undergo the aseptic surgery of urinary system.Methods Clinical data of 302 cases of patients underwent the aseptic surgery of the urinary system between January 2011 to May 2013 were reviewed and studied by Logistic regression analysis.Results Wound infection occurred in 17 cases,the incidence of wound infection was 5.6％ among 302 patients in this study.Postoperative wound infection risk factors were open surgery,operative time ≥ 2 h,to replace the drainage bag every one or two days once,and with some other underlying diseases.Conclusions To strengthen the basic disease treatment,select endoscopic operation if the surgery and treatment of disease allowed,shorten the operation time,reduce the number of drainage tube and reduce the frequency of replacement of drainage bag may effectively prevent postoperative wound infection in patients who undergo the aseptic surgery of the urinary system.

Objective To evaluate the predictive performance of diaphragm thickening fraction ( DTF) assessed by ultrasound in the feasibility of weaning from mechanical ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) . Methods Forty-three patients with COPD were enrolled for prospective study.All patients were ventilated mechanically for more than 48 hours and were expected to be weaned when they met clinical criteria in the intensive care unit from February 2015 to August 2015.Patients received a spontaneous breathing trial under pressure support for 1 h.At the end of spontaneous breathing trial, the right hemi-diaphragm was visualized in the zone of apposition using a 6-13 MHz linear ultrasound probe. Diaphragm thickness was recorded at end-inspiration (DTei) and end-expiration (DTee), and the DTF was calculated as percentage from the following formula:(DTei -DTee) /DTee.Also the rapid shallow breathing index ( RSBI ) was calculated.Patients meeting weaning criteria were extubated.Weaning successfully was defined as spontaneous breathing for >48 h without any form of ventilation support.Results Twenty-five patients were weaned successfully and failure of weaning was found in 18 patients.A significant differences in DTF ( 39.66 ±13.22 )%vs.( 23.84 ±8.85 )%, P <0.05 and RSBI ( 62.74 ±26.05 ) vs.( 98.89 ± 35.44) , P <0.05 were observed between patients with successful weaning and patients with failure.The sensitivity and specificity of DTF≥30 % for successful weaning were 84% and 83.88 %, respectively.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.872 ( 95 % CI: 0.759-0.985 ) for DTF.By comparison, when RSBI was ≤105, there was a sensitivity of 92 %, and a specificity of 38.89 % for determining successful weaning.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.804 ( 95 %CI: 0.669-0.940) for RSBI. Conclusions This study shows that in a cohort of COPD patients, the assessment of DTF using diaphragm ultrasound may be useful to predict success weaning or failure during spontaneous breathing trial.

BACKGROUND: Key point for subculture of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is to inhibit spontaneous differentiation and make sure totipotency of cells. Although mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) or human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) used as the feeder layer can maintain undifferentiated state of embryonic stem cells, cell clone is still imperfect and parallel arranged. OBJECTIVE: To establish mixed feeder layer of mouse embryonic fibroblasts plus human foreskin fibroblasts and to observe the hESCs growth.DESIGN: Multi-sample observation and comparison.SETTING: Medical Center of Reproduction, the Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College. MATERIALS: This study was performed at the Medical Center of Reproduction, the Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College from April 2006 to July 2007. Foreskin was derived from the children who underwent circumcision and came from Urinary Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Haihan Medical College. The children's family members provided the informed consent, and the experiment received confirmed consent from the local ethic committee. hESCs line HN-1 was separated from human blastula. Eleven 12.5-14.5-day-old fetal mice of clean grade were selected in this study. The experimental animals were disposed according to ethical criteria. METHODS: Heads, four extremities, and viscera were removed from fetal mice under anesthesia. Subsequently, cell suspension was prepared using routine trypsinase digestion and inoculated. When cells were cultured in confluent monolayer, some primary cells were frozen, processed with mitocin-C for 2.0-3.0 hours, and inoculated based on the density of 1×108 L-1 in gelatin-coated dish, I.e., MEF feeder layer. The HFF separation and culture and the preparation of HFF feeder layer were the same as above-mentioned processing. In addition, the two fibroblasts were respectively counted and mixed together according to the ratios of 1∶0, 3∶1, 1∶1, 1∶3, and 0:1. And then, the mixture was inoculated based on the density of 1×108 L-1 in gelatin-coated dish, I.e., mixed feeder layer. The growth of subcultured hESCs in vitro was observed in three different feeder layers, and hESCs in the mixed feeder layer underwent alkaline phosphatase test, OCT-4 expression immunohistochemical measurement, and OCT-4 and telomerase mRNA expression RT-PCR detection. Finally, differentiation in vitro of hESCs was observed after removing the feeder layer.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Growth of hESCs in the three different feeder layers; ② Growth of hESCs in the mixed feeder layer based on different mixed ratios; ③ undifferentiated state of hESCs in the mixed feeder layer; ④ differentiation in vitro.RESULTS: ① hESCs clone in the MEF and HFF feeder layers was thin and flat and imperfect, but hESCs clone in the mixed feeder layer was perfect and thick and solid. Apparently, the clone form in the mixed feeder layer was superior to MEF and HFF feeder layers. ② When MEF and HFF was mixed together according to the ratio of 1∶1, hESCs grew in apparent accumulation; clone border was clear; eminentia was apparent and perfect. However, there were no changes according to the ratio of 1∶3. The ratio of 1∶1 was superior to the ratios of 1∶0, 3∶1, and 0∶1. ③ Alkaline phosphatase staining and OCT-4 antigen expression were strongly positive. Specific straps of OCT-4 and telomerase mRNA expression were observed at 200-300 bp and 300-400 bp, respectively. ④ Embryoid bodies were formed. hESCs could differentiate into multi-morphological cells after attachment.CONCLUSION: ① The mixed feeder layer may well support in vitro subculture of hESCs to acquire excellent clone form compared to MEF or HFF feeder layer. ② The mixture of MEF and HFF has excellent effect according to the ratio of 1∶1.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Shenfukang capsules on clinical efficacy and renal function indexes of patients with renal insufficiency. METHODS:Totally 100 inpatients with renal insufficiency treated by Shenfukang cap-sules in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University during Feb. to Mar. 2015 were analyzed retrospectively in respects of general information of patients,therapy plan,renal function indexs before and after treatment and clinical effica-cy. The relationship of clinical efficacy with age and duration was also analyzed. RESULTS:There were 33 cases of acute re-nal insufficiency and 67 cases of chronic renal insufficiency. The route of administration of Shenfukang capsules was oral ad-ministration(97 cases,97.00%),the main dosage was 6 capsule/d(36 cases,36.00%),and treatment duration were 0-<7 days(39 cases)and 7-<15 days(49 cases). After treatment,the average serum creatinine concentration was lower than be-fore treatment,while mean GFR and Ccr were higher than before treatment,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The total response rate was 72.00%,and response rate of patients with acute renal insufficiency was 87.88% and significantly higher than 64.18% of patients with chronic renal insufficiency,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Among patients with ≤60 years old,the total response rate of patients with acute renal insufficiency was significantly higher than that of patients with chronic renal insufficiency,with statistical significance(P<0.05);among patients elder than 60 years old,there was no statistical significance in therapeutic efficacy between acute renal insufficiency and chronic renal insufficiency(P>0.05);among patients with chronic renal insufficiency,the total response rate of patients elder than 60 years old was significantly better than that of patients with ≤60 years old,with statistical significance (P<0.05). With the extension of treatment duration,the total response rate of patients with acute renal insufficiency was on the rise,and that of patients with chron-ic renal insufficiency increased first and then decreased. No obvious ADR was found during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Shenfu-kang capsules can improve renal function in patients with renal insufficiency,and has definite curative effect on acute and chronic renal insufficiency with good security. The clinical efficacy may be related to age and treatment course.

BACKGROUND:Kalikrein 1 is an important component of the kalikrein-kinin system. Studies have shown that kalikrein can protect the cardiovascular system by promoting angiogenesis and inhibiting myocardial inflammation, but there is no report on its effect on inducing differentiation of stem cels. OBJECTIVE: To determine the transfection efficiency of kalikrein 1 adenoviral vector in rat bone mesenchymal stem cels. METHODS:Using adenovirus as a vector, the target gene kalikrein 1 was transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Fluorescence microscopy, MTT method and flow cytometry were used to investigate the effect of transfection and determine the optimal multiplicity of infection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Adenovirus carrying kalikrein 1 was successfuly transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Results from flow cytometry showed that the transfection efficiency was associated with the multiplicity of infection. When the multiplicity of infection was 150, the transfection efficiency was 80.8%. MTT results showed that when the multiplicity of infection was 200, the cel growth was inhibited remarkably. These findings indicate that adenovirus-mediated kalikrein 1 can be successfuly transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels with the optimal multiplicity of infection=150.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection of ranibizumab in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).Methods Data from 49 consecutive ROP patients (95 eyes) including type Ⅰ pre-threshold,threshold and aggressive posterior ROP who had received anti-VEGF treatment for the first time in our hospital from June 2014 to August 2015 were collected.60 eyes from the 95 eyes were confined as the zone Ⅰ disease group,while the remaining 35 eyes as zone Ⅱ disease group.The difference of birth weight,gestational age,corrected gestational age,treatment effects,recurrence and re-treatment time between two groups were compared.0.025 mL ranibizumab (10 mg · mL-1) was injected through 1.5 mm puncture after corneal limbus by using 30G 1 mL injection syringe.At the end of the injection,tobramycin and dexamethasone ophthalmic ointment eye bag was used.After the injection of 3 days,the portable slit lamp and tonometer were used to observe the intraocular pressure,intraocular hemorrhage and endophthalmitis.The indirect ophthalmoscope was used to observe the retinal vascular tortuosity and ridge regression of lesion expansion at 1 week after treatment.At the same time,the systemic adverse reactions related to treatment were observed.Results After receiving ranibizumab treatment for the first time,93 eyes (95.9％) exhibited ROP regression after single injection,including 58 eyes in zone Ⅰ disease group,35 eyes in zone Ⅱ disease group.There was no statistical difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).22 eyes required additional anti-VEGF injection or laser treatment for ROP recurrence,including 17 eyes in zone Ⅰ disease group,5 eyes in zone Ⅱ disease group.There was statistical difference between two groups (P ＜0.05).The time from recurrence to re-treatment was (6.50 ±2.54) weeks,which in zone Ⅰ disease group was (6.44 ± 2.74) weeks and in zone Ⅱ disease group was (6.67 ± 2.31)weeks,there was no statistical difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).No local or systemic adverse events associated with the treatment or drug was observed within the following period.Conclusion Intravitreal injection of ranibizumab is an effective and well tolerated method for zone Ⅰ and zone Ⅱ ROP,but the recurrence rate is high.There Is no local or systemic adverse events associated with the treatment or drug.
