Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of eye in diabetics and is one of the major causes of blindness in adults.The current treatments of DR include surgery and laser therapy,but this does not fundamentally cure DR.Recent studies have found that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for cell therapy to DR have a wide range of applications.MSCs have regenerative potential and play a role in the repairment of the retina,but the survival and homing ability of MSCs are poor after transplantation,which reduces the therapeutic efficiency of MSCs.Statins have a variety of beneficial effects independent of lipid regulation,which can promote the proliferation of MSCs and inhibit the apoptosis of MSCs.This paper reviewed the application and mechanism of MSCs combined with statins in the treatment of DR.

Objective:To investigate the expression and the effects of CD40/CD40L in lung tissue of rabbits with hemorrhagic shock.Methods:18 healthy rabbits were randomly divided into control group(group A),hemorrhagic shock 1 hour group(group B) and hemorrhagic shock 2 hours group(group C),with 6 rabbits in each group.Except the rabbits in the control group,rest rabbits were made into hemorrhagic shock models with lung injury according to Wiggers modified method.TNF-?、IL-10 in plasma were measured by ELISA.Expressions of CD40 and CD40L in lung tissue were measured by immunohistohemistry.Water quantity and pathological change in the lung were observed.Results:The lung of group B and C displayed obvious injury,water quantity increased(P

OBJECTIVE To learn about the state of disinfecting quality and its impact factors of our hospital in recent 10 years.METHODS According to GB15982-1995 and GB15981-1995 the sampling and surveillance were carried out to the objects concerned for disinfecting in the hospital.RESULTS It showed ascent trend in its entirety for the qualified rate of sample surveillance(70.53-96.34%).The qualified rates of applying disinfecting liquid,medical treatment necessities and pressure steam sterilizer were also higher in the surveillance each year.CONCLUSIONS The lows and regulations correlated with disinfection and operating technological specification have become more and more perfect and flawless,supervision and management also have been intervened and strengthened,and the level of the consciousness and knowledge of disinfection among the staff have had elevation,all these have elevated the disinfection job of the hospital in quality.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture plus Chinese medicinal fumigation and washing in treating edema of the affected limb in post-stroke hemiplegia. ＜br> Methods: Two hundred patients with edema of the stroke-affected limb from our hospital were randomized into two groups according to their visiting sequence. In the observation group, 100 subjects were intervened by acupuncture plus Chinese medicinal fumigation and washing in addition to oral administration of diuretics, while the other 100 subjects in the control group were only given diuretics. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after successive 2-week treatments. ＜br> Results: The total effective rate was 90.0% in the observation group, significantly higher than 66.0% in the control group, indicating that there was a significant difference in comparing the overall therapeutic effect (P＜0.01). ＜br> Conclusion: Acupuncture plus Chinese medicinal fumigation and washing in addition to oral administration of diuretics is effective in treating edema of the affected limb in post-stroke hemiplegia.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of combined application of helicobacter pylori stool antigen(HpSA)-and traditional serology in epidemiologic study of helicobacter pylori(Hp) infection in children. Methods Hp serum IgG antibodies were examined among 480 healthy children. Heticobacter pylori stool antigen(HpSA) were measured among children who were seropositive. Hp status was defined as positive when stool antigen test was positive, Hp status was defined as negative when seronegative. A case - control study was conducted to identify risk factors of Hp infection in preschool children. Results Among 480 preschool children, 172 (35 8 %) were sero- positive, 64(13.3 %) with positive result of HpSA test were diagnosed as current Hp infection. Univariate factor analysis demonstrated that Hp infection clustered in families and Hp infection was often acquired in childhood by oral-oral and fecal - oral person to person transmission. Conclusions HpSA and serology screening are two nomnvasive tests, simple not costly, effective and accurate. The combination of these 2 noninvasive methods can be applied in epidemiologic study of Hp infection in childrenJAppl Clin Pediatr,2004,19(11):948-950

The teaching and management of our eight-year program students is relatively new,so we should gradually study and explore the adapted cultivation pattern,learn and accumulate the successful experiences of the high starting point teaching in order to cultivate the qualified medical talents.

Objective To search the status quo of students'thanatopsis in order to push focused education on terminal care to the nursing major students.Metheds To distribute home-made questionnaire to 268 nursing students.Results students who cannot talk about death normally account for 21.3 percent;who never considered death or unnecessary to consider death account for 12.9 percent of the total;who considered a lot account for 10 percent;who cannot handle terminally ill account for 74.3 percent;and who prefer self-suicide when suffered defeat account for 4.9 percent.Conclusion Nursing students have insufficient ideas of death,and they need to think deeply about the meaning of death and to nurture a positive outlook on death in order to get a correct terminal care education.

Microbial secondary metabolites are one of the major sources of anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, antitumor, anti-virus and immunosuppressive agents for clinical use. Present challenges in microbial pharmaceutical development are the discovery of novel secondary metabolites with significant biological activities, improving the fermentation titers of industrial microbial strains, and production of natural product drugs by re-establishing their biosynthetic pathways in suitable microbial hosts. Synthetic biology, which is developed from systematic biology and metabolic engineering, provides a significant driving force for microbial pharmaceutical development. The review describes the major applications of synthetic biology in novel microbial secondary metabolite discovery, improved production of known secondary metabolites and the production of some natural drugs in genetically modified or reconstructed model microorganisms.

Supernumerary tooth is common,but symmetrical supernumerary tooth on both sides is rare.A case of symmetrical supernumer-ary tooth of maxillary posterior teeth area is reported in this paper.

Atlanto-axial complex is the most important functional unit of the cervical spine.Atlanto-axial instability or dislocation,one of the most serious pathologies in spinal surgery,is often managed by posterior atlantoaxial fixation and fusion.Several posterior fixation techniques have been used to stabilize the atlanto-axial complex,including wire/cable-bone fixation,Halifax clamps,transarticular screw fixation,screw-plate fixation and screw-rod fixation.For atlanto-axial dislocation that cannot be reduced with skull traction before operation,intraoperative reduction is often needed.Current intraoperative reduction techniques can be classified into transoropharyngeal surgical release followed by posterior reduction and fixation,transoropharyngeal reduction and fixation,and posterior reduction and fixation using screw-rod system according to approaches.Furthermore,posterior reduction can be performed using elevating-pull,leverages,and cantilever techniques.This study reviews the intraoperative reduction and fixation techniques mentioned above.
