Cell sheet engineering is an important technology to harvest the cultured cells in the form of confluent monolayers using a continuous culture method and a physical approach. Avoiding the use of enzymes, expended cells can be harvested together with endogenous extracellular matrix, cell-matrix contacts, and cell-cell contacts. With high efficiency of cell loading ability and without using exogenous scaffolds, cell sheet engineering has several advantages over traditional tissue engineering methods. In this article, we give an overview on cell sheet technology about its applications in the filed of tissue regeneration, including the construction of soft tissues (corneal, mucous membrane, myocardium, blood vessel, pancreas islet, liver, bladder and skin) and hard tissues (bone, cartilage and tooth root). This techonoly is promising to provide a novel strategy for the development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. And further works should be carried out on the operability of this technology and its feasibility to construct thick tissues.

Tibetan Medicine (TM) has become important source of feature industry in several main Tibetan regions with its unique cultural and natural resources. This article argued that the researches on TM basic theories are weak;ecological environment for TM is fragile;safety evaluation ability is relatively insufficient;standardization system for researches on TM is needed; reasonable talent team supporting the development of TM industry is required;The combination of production, learning and research is not close;innovation ability is low;guiding principles for the evaluation of new TM do not exist. All of these are main factors that restrict the development of TM industry. Therefore, the main measures for the promotion of TM are:improve research level of TM theories;strengthen the protection of TM resources;promote national standard construction of TM;improve collaborative innovation ability of TM;enhance talent team construction;formulate appropriate policies and create good marketing environment.

OBJECTIVE By investigating the incidence of nosocomial infection with objective monitoring method and prospective overall monitoring method, to analyze the advantage and significance between two methods. METHODS Using the objective monitoring method to study the incidence of nosocomial infection of patients after neurosurgical operation from May to December in 2003 and using the prospective overall monitoring method to study the incidence of nosocomial infection of patients after neurosurgical operation from May to December in 2002. All data were analyzed with Stata 7.0 soft. RESULTS There were 100 cases occurring nosocomial infection in 267 neurosurgical operation patients. The patient incidence of nosocomial infection was 37.5% and the rate of nosocomial infection cases was 50.9% with objective monitoring method, that was significant higher than those data coming from May to December in 2002 with 248 cases under prospective overall monitoring method, with which the patient incidence of nosocomial infection and the rate of nosocomial infection cases were 20.2%(50 cases ) and 21.4%(53 cases), respectively . Statistically significant difference was found (P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of nosocomial infection(NI) in patients with hematological malignancies(HM),and provide the bases for making the controlling measures of NI.METHODS Using the targeted monitoring to study NI in patients with HM,and recording 14 factors such as the time of hospitalization,chemotherapy,count of leukocyte and absolute neutrophil count(ANC) and so on.The data were analyzed with unifactorial ?2 test and multifactorial Logistic-regression analysis.RESULTS Among 242 patients with HM the prevalence of NI was 35.5%(86/242) and the prevalence of NI time-cases was 52.9%(128/242).Among 86 patients of NI there were 27 patients occurred multiple sites NI(31.4%).The main infection sites were upper respiratory tract,gastrointestinal tract,lower respiratory tract,oral cavity and blood.66.7% Of NI happened in the period of chemotherapy and 7 days after chemotherapy.The time of hospitalization and ANC were independent risk factors of NI in patients with HM.CONCLUSIONS The patients with HM are susceptible population of NI,and NI often occurs in the period of chemotherapy and 7 days after chemotherapy.So medical staff should strengthen monitoring,and shorten the time of patient hospitalization and of recovery of ANC to reduce the prevalence of NI efficiently.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of mental disorders of patients treated in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods Collected from January 2013 to December 2014 ICU stay eligible cases,and analyzed the past history (hypertension,intemperance),previous surgery,mechanical ventilation,date of ICU admission,quality of care, APACHE II score,electrolyte disorder,LVEF,sleep disturbance,PCT,oxygenation index,drug use situation (midazo-lam,opioids)and the clinical care unit the incidence of mental disorders in relationship.Results 568 patients (male 345 cases,female 223 cases),mental disorders group of 157 patients,the clinical incidence rate of 27.6% overall;568 patients were in the sex ratio of 1.55:1,mental disorders group of 157 patients(96 males,61 females),male to female ratio 1.57:1,mean age was (65.5 ±11.2)years;no mental disorders group (249 males,162 females),male to female ratio 1.30:1,mean age was (48.8 ±14.3)years.Logistic regression analysis revealed that coronary heart disease,hypotension,alcohol abuse,surgery,mechanical ventilation,ICU admission time,quality of care,APACHE II score,electrolyte imbalance,ejection fraction,sleep disorders,procalcitonin,oxygenation index,use of midazolam or opioids were among the risk factors of ICU mental disorders.Mechanical ventilation,quality of care,hypotension,alco-hol abuse,and use of midazolam were independent risk factors for ICU mental disorders (all P <0.05).Conclusion ICU inpatients with past history of hypertension and intemperance,use of mechanical ventilation and midazolam should be closely monitored and evaluated,early psycho -psychiatric screening,and take effective measures in time;high -quality care can reduce the incidence of mental disorders in ICU patients significantly.

Objective To discuss a simple and effective method of medial epicanthoplasty with the subcilliary incision, which can decrease the visible scar. Methods From January of 2007 to De-cember of 2008, 38 patients with epicanthal fold underwent epicanthoplasty using the new method. During the operation a skin incision was subcilliarily made outward from the original medial epican-thus. After elevating the flap and excising the orbicularis oculi muscle beneath the epieanthal fold, the new medial epicanthus was sutured to the designed point. Then subciliary incision was trimmed and sutured. Results Most of the patients obtained satisfactory results. Only one patient complained a-bout visible scarring and none required revision surgery. Scarring was avoided on the noticeable medial canthal region because the only incisions needed were subciliary incisions. Conclusions This method is simple to design and easy to perform. The operative results are effective without visible scars on the medial canthal region.
