Stem cells are characterized by the ability to renew themselves and differentiate into a di-verse range of specialized cell types.Bmi1 gene has been determined to play critical roles in the self-renewal of stem cells.Many of the tumor originated in stem cells.Enhanced self-renewal capability in stem/progenitor cells changes its biological characteristic and drives tumor initiation

Objective To study the validity of furosemide test for predicting the hematoma enlargement in pa- tients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods Four hundred fifty-one patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were diagnosed using CT after oneset of the disease and 24 h reexamined 24 h after.The incidence of enlarged hematoma was evaluated by comparison the baseline and 24 h CT scanning.Furosemide(20 mg iv)was ad- ministered and blood pressure was measured 30 min after furosemide.Results The decreasing level of MAP after furosemide was significantly inversely related with incidence rate of hematoma enlargement{ r=-0.94,t=58.4,P 10 mmHg as the cut-off point,with the rate of hematoma enlargement as being 6.4 %,MAP decreased≤10 mmHg was associated with increases in prevalence of hematome to 33.2 %(?~2=51.82, P

Objective To study the demographics and background of attempted suicide individuals,such as age,gender,mode of suicide,seasonality,etc.so as to improve prevention strategy.Methods By sequential sampling analysis,there were data of 895 survivors from committed suicide taken from 907 attempted suicide individuals recorded in an emergency room of a local hospital between 2002 and 2008 for retrospectively study.Results The sample was composed of 191 males and 704 females with a male to female ratio of 1∶3.69.The adolescents and young adults aged 15-34 years accounted for the vast majority of attempted suicide individuals with the peak at the age of 24 years.The number of committed suicide remarkably reduced after the age of 47 years.The major mode of committed suicide was ingestion of poisons.The incidence of committed suicide declined significantly from 2002 to 2005,and then increased between 2005 and 2008.It was more often occurred in the seasons of Spring and Summer. Conclusions Age,gender,and seasonality are associated with attempted suicide in china,and these risk faetors should be the focuses of suicide prevention in China.Additionally,control of pesticides and psychological intervention should be the parts of the work to prevent suicide in the this cohort of special individuals with propensity of committed suicide.

Objective To discuss the pathogenesis of cerebral hemorrhage in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods From Jan.2002 to Dec.2004all the 261 hemodialysis patients in changai Hospital were divided into two groups on the basis of with or without cerebral hemorrhage :(1)the control group,(2)the group of cerebral hemorrhage.Clinical data of 261 hemodialysis patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results In the group of cerebral hemorrhage,the incidence of high blood pressure was 81.1%:the blood pressure after medical therapy not up to standard was 83.8%;the usage of ordinary heparin was 78.4%;the average RRF was(3.8?1.9)and those of the control group were 62.5%,52.7%,52.7% and(7.1?3.3).There were significant differences between the two groups.Conclusion The maintenance hemodialysis patients with cerebral hemorrhage result from multiple factors.Positive control of the blood pressure,selection of appropriate anticoagulant and protection of RRF have important clinical significance.

Objective: To study the effects of soluble vascular endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(sVCAM-1) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) in recurrent oral ulceration (ROU). Methods: sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 in oral menbrane tissue sampls were measured with an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay using sandwich technices in 45 patients with ROU and 40 nomal controls. Results: The expression level of sVCAM-1 in the oral membrane tissue samples of ROU patients was higher than that in the controls (P0.05). Both sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 expression were not significantly different with the stages (ROU-active and ROU-free) of the lesion. Conclusion: sVCAM-1 might play a role in ROU.

Anterior approach refers to a method of hepatectomy which is first to resect the hepatic parenchyma and then to free the liver; hanging maneuver refers to placing a tape before the inferior vena cava for hanging the liver during hepatectomy.In October 2011,anatomical trisectionectomy was performed on a 54-year-old male patient with large hepatocellular carcinoma in the left medical lobe and right lobe with anterior approach and hanging maneuver.The diameter of the tumor was 16 cm,and was in the ⅢA/T3NOM0 stage.The indocyanine green retention at fifteen minutes was 5.4％,and the ratio of hepatic left lateral lobe volume over the standard total liver volume was 44％.The left bile duct was slightly dilated because of the compress of the tumor.The operation started with the isolation and dissection of the inflow vessels,including the right hepatic artery,the right portal vein,the middle hepatic artery,the portal vein branches of left internal lobe.The hepatic parenchyma transection was performed along the fight side of the falciform ligament.A tape was passed between the anterior surface of inferior vena cava and liver,and the liver was suspended during the transection.The left bile duct was cut at the right side of round ligament,and then the middle hepatic vein and the right hepatic vein were resected.The ligaments around the liver were dissected and the right hepatic lobe was removed.Finally,the end-toend anastomosis between the left hepatic duct and the common hepatic duct was performed.The operation lasted for 4 hours and the intra-operative blood loss was 350 mL.The patient was recovered well.At the end of 4 months after surgery,magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed that the anastomosis of the bile duct was unobstructed,and there was no recurrence of tumor inside the liver.

Objective To study the correlation between fluid management during liver transplantation and postoperative intra-abdorninal hypertension (IAH),and the correlation between intra-abdominal pressure and hemodynamics during liver transplantation.Method From Sep.2008 to Sep.2014,95 cases were admitted to ICU following liver transplantation were enrolled.All recipients were given abdominal color ultrasound examinations,and the IAH was measured.The preoperative Child-Pugh score,total operating time,anhepatic phase time,intraoperative blood loss,crystal solution input,colloidal fluid input,red blood cell infusion,plasma infusion,intraoperative total fluid input,intraoperative fluid input per h,and urinary volume per h and their correlation with postoperative IAH were analyzed by the Logistic regression method.The relationship between hemodynamics data and IAH intra-abdominal pressure was analyzed by the correlation analysis of two variables.Result IAH occurred in 18.94％ (18/95) recipients at 72nd h after operation.Fluid input per h (＞2000 ml/h) was risk factor (B=1.62;P＜0.05;OR=5.07,95％ CI:1.41-18.23) of IAH.Urinary volume per h (＜200 ml/h) is risk factor (B=-3.21 ;P＜0.01:OR =0.04,95％ CI:0.01-0.18) of IAH.There was correlation between hepatic artery peak flow velocity (r =0.83,P＜0.01),portal vein peak flow velocity (r =-0.182,P＜0.05),and retrohepatic inferior vena cava peak flow velocity (r=-0.184,P＜0.05) with IAH.Conclusion Fluid input per h should be controlled in a low level and urinary volume per h should be increased in order to prevent IAH.There is correlation between hepatic artery peak flow velocity,portal vein peak flow velocity and retrohepatic inferior vena cava peak flow velocity with IAH.

BACKGROUND:Bone tissue transplantation or osteogenic material fil ing is after used for bone defect repair. To remove autologous bone tissues can lead to additional damage and secondary deformity, therefore, it is extremely urgent to search for a new osteogenic material. OBJECTIVE:To construct the porousβ-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)/col agen scaffold modified with human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP2) gene, and to observe its effects on differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cel lines. METHODS:The porousβ-TCP/col agen scaffold modified with hBMP2 gene was prepared. Then in vitro culture system of MC3T3-E1 cel lines with composite scaffold was established. There were scaffold and plate groups, and each group was divided into two subgroups according to the different concentrations of plasmid. Samples were col ected and observed morphological y by scanning electron microscope and light microscope after complex culture. After 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of induction, calcium nodules were observed through alizarin red staining, the cel cycle was detected by real-time PCR, and expressions ofαI-chain col agen type I gene, Osterix and bone sialoprotein were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of cel s adhered, differentated and distributed on the composite scaffold was significantly higher than that of the single scaffold (P<0.05). Alizarin red staining and real-time PCR detection showed that the osteogenesis ability of MC3T3-E1 cel lines in the scaffold group was stronger than that in the plate group. To conclude, the porousβ-TCP/col agen scaffold modified with hBMP2 gene is an appropriate candidate for bone defect repair.
