BACKGROUND: It is controversial whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can retain in cardiac injured position, or differentiate into cardiomyocytes or not. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of recombinant human growth hormone and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) intravenous transplantation on myocardium and angiogenesis in rats with congestive cardiomyopathy. METHODS: BMSCs were collected from rats by density gradient centrifugation and adhesive-screening method. Models of cardiac failure were established using adriamycin induction in the model, cell transplantation, growth hormone and combination groups. Following model establishment, cell transplantation group received BrdU-labeled BMSCs (8×10~(13)/L) via vein. Growth hormone group underwent subcutaneous injection of human growth hormone 2 U/kg per day, for 14 consecutive days. Combination group received injection of human growth hormone and BMSC transplantation. At week 4, samples were collected. Immunohistochemical staining for BrdU+MHC and BrdU+Actin was used to determine homing of BMSCs to evaluate the differentiation of transplanted cells into cardiomyocytes and vascular endothelia cells. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was utilized to detect vascular density. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the cell transplantation group, positive rate of Brdu immunohistochemistry was increased in the combination group (P < 0.001). The number of cardiomyocytes and vascular endothelia cells was significantly increased following Brdu+MHC and Brdu+Actin staining (P < 0.001). Compared with the model group, total vascular density, microvessel density and capillary density were significantly increased in the growth hormone, cell transplantation and combination groups (P < 0.001). No significant difference was determined among growth hormone, cell transplantation and combination groups (P > 0.05). Intravenous transplantation of BMSCs could repair cardiomyocytes and vascular endothelial cells by homing into the heart. BMSCs could survive in damaged area and differentiate into cardiomyocytes or vascular endothelial cells and increase the vascular density significantly. Growth hormone could improve microenvironment and raise rates of differentiating into cardiomyocytes or vascular endothelial cells.

Objective To evaluate the effect of age on pharmacodynamics of eisatracurium target-controlled infusion(TCI). Methods Forty patients under N_2O-O_2-propofol-fentanyl anesthesia were divided into groups of Ⅰ and Ⅱ with 20 cases each. Under TOF stimulation monitoring, eisatracurium 0. 15 mg/kg was injected and tracheal intubation was performed when TOFr being zero. and the intubation conditions were evaluated. When T1 restored to 50% cisatracurium TCI started to keep TOFr less than 10%. The recovery times of neuromuscular blockade were recorded after stopping infusion. The amount of cisatracurium consumption was calculated. Results Intubation conditions the onset time and recovery index were not significantly different between two groups. The nonresponse period, duration of action, and recovery time were longer in group Ⅰ than those in group B. Cisatracurium consumption was more in group Ⅰ than that in group Ⅱ (P<0.05). Conclusion By TCI,cisatracurium dosage needed for keeping TOFr less than 10% is less,but the recovery process is still longer in the elderly than those in the younger.

Suture was a traditional method for tissue repair. However, sutures used in the closure of surgical wounds can induce inflammation and lead to scarring that appears as crosshatch marks. Threads used for sutures may cause immune response and surgical infection. In this review, we introduce a novel sutureless technique for wound repair, called photochemical tissue bonding (PTB). Absorption of visible light by a photosensitizing dye initiates photochemical reactions leading to covalent protein-protein crosslinks that bridge the wound surfaces, thus producing an immediate seal between the wound surfaces. This technique has been applied in various tissues including skin, cornea, nerve, blood vessels, et al. PTB reduces inflammation resulting in less scarring in skin. PTB dramatically improves the incidences of vascular anastomotic leakage and stricture. In addition, PTB enhances the recovery of nerve function after nerve repair.

Objective To compare differences in pathological grade,clinical classification and prognosis in patients with Henoch?Sch?nlen purpu?ra nephritis(HSPN)in each age group. Methods Totally 225 cases of patients diagnosed as HSPN and treated in the hospital were selected to ret?rospectively analyze their clinical manifestations,pathological classification and prognosis and compare the difference in pathological grade,clinical classification and prognosis by age. Results Of the concomitant symptoms of HSPN,the incidence rate of abdominal pain was the highest in pa?tients of school age. There was statistical significance in the incidence rate of gastrointestinal bleeding between each age group. Of the clinical mani?festations,proteinuria was positive correlated with the pathological type,and the difference was statistically significant(r=0.471,P<0.000 1). But there was no correlation between the count of urine red blood cells in the urine and the pathological type. There was difference in the pathological grade between each age group(H=19.194,P<0.000 1). The difference mainly showed in the pathological grade between adults,children of pre?school age and adolescents(Z=-2.702,P=0.001;Z=-3.675,P<0.000 1). There was difference in clinical classification between each age group (χ2=36.114,P<0.000 1). The difference mainly showed in clinical manifestations between adults,children of school age and adolescents(χ2=19.628,P<0.000 1;χ2=18.944,P<0.000 1). For both children and adults who had developed into chronic renal failure,the renal pathology of these patients was not significantly different. Conclusion Compared with adults,children have milder pathological types and clinical manifestations and well prognosis of HSPN,and the most important factor which affects the prognosis is pathological type and urine protein can reflect the serious?ness of pathological type.
