Objective To identify the stem cell characteristics of human diploid cells 2BS and evaluate the potential as biological function positive cells for quality detection of stem cells.Methods Flow cytometry was applied to detect the expression levels of stem cell surface markers in 2BS cells.The staining with alizarin red S,oil red O and alcian blue was used to evaluate the ability of osteogenic,adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation,respectively.Co-culture with lymphocytes was used to observe the effects on lymphocyte proliferation.Results Human diploid cells 2BS expressed the surface markers CD73,CD 105 and CD90 of stem cells,and possessed the potential of osteogenic differentiation and inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation.Conclusion 2BS cells have several properties of stem cells and could be the positive control for surface markers detection of stem cells by flow cytometry.

IL-8 is a cytokine which belongs to the chemotactic superfamily.It is one of the major mediators in the inflammatory response.In recent years,it was found that it had multiple functions,such as chemoattractant,potent angiogenic,and so on.The cytokine is believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammation,tumor progress and immune disease.In this review,the properties of IL-8 and highlight its roles on inflammation and tumor progress were surveied.

Independent component analysis (ICA) aims at decomposing an observed random vector into statistically independent variables. Fast independent component analysis (FastICA) algorithm and its variants are catching more attention because of their simplicity and convergence speed. In this paper, a novel method referred to robust independent component analysis (RobustICA), based on normalized kurtosis and optimal step-size, is analyzed in detail. When applied to fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) extraction and compared with FastICA, it gave decent results and showed prosperous future usages.

In recent years, a large number of studies have found that central lymph node metastasis of the papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is significantly related with some risk factors.These high risk factors include age below 45 years old, BRAF gene mutation, vascular epithelial growth factor-C high expression, tumor diameter≥5 mm, multifocal and bilateral tumor, thyroid capsule invasion and so on.These high risk factors involve in disease process, and interact with each other.The studies of the high risk factors can help us to predict the risk of central lymph node metastasis in the patients with PTMC, thus to effectively guide the patients' treatment.

Objective To compare the status of nurses′cognition on children′s pain between the pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and common wards .Methods Surveys were completed by the pediatric nurses through the WeChat platform ,3 283 quali‐fied surveys from department of nursing of 11 three level of first‐class hospital in central China ,were sent back and analyzed . Results There was no statistical difference in the age ,marital status ,professional title ,highest academic qualifications ,and the dis‐tribution of professional nursing service life between PICU nurses and common ward nurses(P>0 .05) .Statistical differences were found among the sex ,the positions ,the experiences of nursing and the pediatric nursing (P< 0 .05) .Significant differences were found between the total score of the PNKAS of the PICU nurses and that of common ward nurses(P<0 .05) .Among the four di‐mensionalities ,statistical difference was only found in the item of pharmacological analgesia between PICU nurses and common ward nurses (P<0 .05) .There were no statistical difference on the correct ratio of the top three correct answers and the top three wrong answers between PICU nurses and common ward nurses(P>0 .05) .Conclusion The knowledge of the PICU nurses and common ward nurses were both not optimistic .Specific training should be provided according to the different status of the PICU nurses and common ward nurses ,so that better pain management would be provided to the pediatric children .

Extramural vascular invasion(EMVI)was defined as the presence of tumor cells within an endotheliumlined vessel beyond the muscularis propria.High-resolution MRI had 100％sensitivity and 89％specificity in identification of large(caliber greater than 3 mm)EMVI with histopathology as reference.EMVI detected by both histopathology and MRI was significantly associated with local recurrence,distance metastasis and tumor-related death in rectal cancer,which was also identified as an independent prognostic factor for 3-year tumor-free survival and overall survival.EMVI could be used as one of the risk factors,which would allow stratification of patients with rectal cancer to receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(neoCRT).Moreover,EMVI detected by high-resolution MRI was identified as an independent predictor for response to neoCRT.Tumor regression grading scale defined by high-resolution MRI could be used to evaluate EMVI regression after neoCRT.

Objective To explore the clinical application of two endometrial mechanical stimulation methods in patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF) in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle. Methods A total of 127 women with RIF who planned to perform FET again were included. They were separated into 3 groups: Group A (45 cases) with endometrial scratching and group B (42 cycles) with endometrial sucking within menstrual period in FET cycle, while in control group C (40 cases), no endometrial mechanical stimulation was performed. The outcomes of pregnancy were compared. Results The endometrial types of endometrial scratching group were mainly type A. The embryo implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate in group A (27.27%, 46.67%) were significantly higher than those in group B (12.75 %, 21.43%) and group C (11.46%, 20.0%) (P <0.05). Conclusion The endometrial mechanical stimulation can improve the endometrial receptivity, compare with endometrial sucking, endometrial scratching can improve the clinical pregnancy rate of RIF patients more obviously.

Schizophrenia is a common but complex mental disorder affected by multiple factors. Forensic psychiatric assessment of schizophrenia involves evaluations on many aspects, but there is no effective biological identification index for schizophrenia. Researches indicate that dysfunction of dopaminergic neurotransmission plays an important role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Our study reviews the classification, genetic structure of dopamine receptors and the recent pertinent studies between the dopamine receptors and schizophrenia and its forensic significance.

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)is an autoimmune disease.Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)is the only safe and effective drug for the treatment of PBC,as proved by randomized controlled clinical trials,so it is advocated as first-line therapy.Alternative therapies are urgently needed for patients with poor response to UDCA.In addition to the efficacy of UDCA,the classification of alternative and adjuvant therapies for UDCA nonresponders and the latest research progress in these therapies are reviewed;the efficacy of existing drugs and treat-ment prospects are evaluated,but more long-term clinical studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of immunosuppressants such as budes-onide and etanercept and other drugs.A number of novel molecular therapies for PBC are also undergoing clinical trials.There is currently no consensus on the medical treatment for patients with poor response to UDCA.Although studies have shown that some drugs can improve liver function and liver biochemistries,there is no definitive evidence that they improve long-term outcome.

Objective To explore the clinical curative effect of immunopotentiator combined with antiviral therapy in the treatment of children with recurrent respiratory tract infections.Methods 56 children with recurrent respiratory tract infections were selected as study subjects,and they were divided into two groups according to different therapeutic methods,28 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional antiviral treatment,the observation group was treated with immunopotentiator combined with antiviral therapy.The serum levels of IgA,IgG,IgM and peripheral blood T cell subsets CD3+,CD4+,CD8+ levels were detected in the two groups before treatment and after treatment.The fading away of the main symptoms and signs,and the clinical efficacy were observed.Results The fever subsided time [(1.98 ± 0.64) d],cough fade time [(1.65 ± 0.47) d] and lung's fading time [(2.38 ± 0.57) d] of the observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group(all P ＜ 0.05).The total effective rate of the observation group was 92.86％,which was obviously higher than 67.86％ of control group(x2 =5.54,P ＜ 0.05).The serum immunoglobulin IgG [(9.09 ± 3.01) g/L],IgA [(1.75 ± 0.57) g/L],IgM [(1.39 ± 0.42) g/L] of the observation group after treatment had statistically significant differences compared with the control group (t =0.038,0.041,0.027,all P ＜0.05).The T lymphocyte subsets CD~ [(59.4 ± 8.9) ％],CD4+ [(40.5 ±4.4)％],CD8+ [(29.8 ± 4.7) ％] of the observation group after treatment had statistically significant differences compared with the control group (t =0.044,0.039,0.037,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The application of immunopotentiator combined with antiviral therapy in the treatment of children with recurrent respiratory tract infections had exactly clinical curative effect,and it is worthy of popularization and application.
