Objective To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on angiogenesis and functional recovery after focal cerebral ischemia in rats.Methods BMSCs were isolated and cultured using the whole bone marrow adherent method,and conducted phenotypic identification using flow cytometry analysis of surface positive antigen of CD29,CD90 and the negative antigen of CD34,CD45.Rats were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 90 minutes,and divided into three groups randomly,the sham group,model group and BMSCs group.24 hours after cerebral ischemia,rats were injected with 1 ml BMSCs solution (1 × 106 cells/ml) or PBS via the tail vein.The modified neurological severity score(mNSS) test,the corner test and the adhesive tape test were used to evaluate sensorimotor function on the 1,7,14 and 28 days after ischemia.Infarcted volume was detected by toluidine blue staining,and the numbers of vWF positive microvessels and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) positive cells in the ischemic boundary were determined by immunofluorescence.Results By flow cytometric analysis,the cell phenotype of passage 3 BMSCs showed that CD29,CD90,CD34 and CD45 were 98.3%,97.4%,0.2% and 4.8%,respectively.Compared with the model group,BMSCs significantly reduced the score of mNSS(P<0.01),the number of right turn of corner test(P<0.05),latency of removal adhesive tape(P<0.05) and the infarcted volume (P<0.01).The numbers of vWF positive vesscls and the VEGF positive cells were (42.97±8.64)/mm2 and (54.83± 10.66)/mm2 at the boundary zone in model group 14 days after ischemia,respectively.BMSCs significantly increased the numbers of vWF positive vessels ((69.43± 7.29)/mm2) and VEGF positive cells ((78.70±6.16)/mm2,P<0.01).Conclusion BMSCs can improve the functions of cerebral lesions after cerebral ischemia,which may be associated with the enhanced angiogenesis and VEGF expression in the ischemic boundary.

To improve clinicians'understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of pseudohypoparathyroidism with hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. The clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, imaging data, gene results, diagnosis and treatment of a pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ⅰb with hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia patient were retrospectively analyzed. The literatures related to pseudohypoparathyroidism in recent years were also summarized. A young man, mainly manifested as repeated tetany. The physical examination showed short stature, round face, short neck, with positive Trousseau sign. The laboratory examination revealed parathyroid hormone resistance, hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia. The urinary calcium and phosphorus levels were low. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) showed bilateral basal ganglia calcification. Genetic screening revealed a hybrid deletion mutation of GNAS-AS1 gene Exon 5E. After the supplement of element calcium 720 mg/d, plain vitamin D 375 U/d, active vitamin D 0.5 μg/d and potassium chloride 3 g/d, the levels of blood potassium and phosphorus rise to normal, the levels of blood calcium and magnesium were close to normal. Pseudohypoparathyroidism typeⅠb may accompany with hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia.

Objective:To investigate the effect and necessity of aesthetic suture techniques training in improving the suture quality of non-plastic surgeons.Methods:The well-planned aesthetic suture techniques training programs were run in non-plastic surgery senior residents and attending surgeons at Peking University People's Hospital from January 2017 to January 2019. There were 120 senior residents and attending surgeons included (aged from 25-32 years, average 28.9 years, with 66 males and 54 females). Mixed teaching methods were used such as video shows, lectures, surgery live show and scenario simulation. Baseline tests were taken before the training. Suture quality tests were taken when the trainings came to the end. Self-assessments were carried out both before and after the trainings.Results:Eight rounds of aesthetic suture techniques training were accomplished and 120 trainees were included in all. One hundred and two trainees passed the test while eight failed, while 10 trainees were absent in some courses or the final test. The passing rate was 85.0%. The scales of suture tools and material selection, incision design, subcutaneous tissue suture quality, tension relaxation, aesthetic suture appearance, and flexibility of different suture techniques were sharply improved after the training in both subjective and objective assessments.Conclusions:The aesthetic suture techniques training is effective in improving the suture quality of non-plastic surgeons, which is worthy to generalize in resident training.
