AIM: To investigate the effect of non-activated or activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes(PMN) on washed platelet aggregation. METHODS: Born's method was used to determine platelet aggregation.RESULTS: non-activated PMN (5?10 9 cells/L) significantly suppressed washed platelet aggregation induced by ADP or arachidonic acid. Aspirin enhanced this inhibition. N-formyl-methiongl-leucy-phenylalanine (fMLP)-or platelet-activating factor (PAF)-stimulated PMN strongly induced platelet aggregation, and the induction effect of PMN suspension was more active than that of PMN supernatant. Aspirin had no significant inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by fMLP-or PAF-activated PMN. CONCLUSIONS: Different conditions of PMN (activated or non-activated) had the nearly opposite action on normal platelet reactivity. Briefly, non-activated-PMN inhibited platelet reactivity, whereas activated PMN stimulated it.

Objective To investigate antithrombotic and antiplatelet effects of Dragon's Blood,?-cyclodextrin inclusion of Dragon's Blood.Methods The methods of injection of adenosin diphosphate(ADP) into mouse tail vein,electrically stimulated arterial thrombosis in rats were used to evaluate the anti-thrombotic effects of Dragon's Blood and?-cyclodextrin inclusion of Dragon's Blood,respectively.Platelet aggregation(PRP or washed platelets) was tested according to Born's method.Results ?CYDB significantly protected against thrombosis caused by ADP on mice,and electrical stimulation on rats.In vitro?-cyclodextrin inclusion of Dragon's Blood inhibited AA,ADP,PAF-induced platelet aggregation.Conclusions The results suggest that compared with Dragon's Blood,?-cyclodextrin inclusion of Dragon's Blood has more potent anti-thrombotic effects on the thrombotic models,its mechanisms may be closely related to the inhibition of anti-platelet aggregation.?-cyclodextrin inclusion of Dragon's Blood can improve the bioavailability of Dragon's Blood.

BACKGROUND:Chemokines can promote (MSCs) the secretion of vasoactive factors from mesenchymal stem cel s (MSCs) through paracrine mechanism, which have important role in accelerating angiogenesis. OBJECTIVE:Under the high glucose environment, to the effect of the supernatant of MSCs stimulated by chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 (CXCL-8) on human umbilical vein endothelial cel s (HUVECs), and to analyze the mechanism of Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway in the stimulation of CXCL-8 on MSCs. METHODS:Under the high glucose environment, the MSCs supplemented with 100μg/L CXCL-8 were set as CXCL-8 group;the MSCs that were preprocessed with 5μmol/L octyl maleimide for 45 minutes and then stimulated with 100μg/L CXCL-8 were as Shh inhibitor group;the MSCs that were routinely cultured in a high-glucose medium were as control group. The cel supernatant of each group was extracted as conditioned medium (CM) to culture HUVECs, respectively, and these cel s were referred to as CXCL-8 CM group, Shh inhibitor CM group, and control CM group, respectively. Cel counting kit-8, cel scratch and Transwel chamber tests were used to observe the effect of each CM on HUVEC proliferation, apoptosis and chemotaxis. By establishment of a diabetic skin ulcer model in C57BL/6J mice, the CM of each group was used to treat the mouse model to confirm the effects of CXCL-8 stimulated MSCs CM on HUVEC homing and ulcer healing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The experimental results in vitro:compared with the control CM group, CXCL-8 CM group significantly promoted the proliferation of HUVECs, and decreased the apoptosis of HUVECs, the closure rate and migration rate of HUVECs were significantly increased (P<0.01 or P<0.01), and the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and epidermal growth factor were significantly increased (P<0.01 or P<0.01). Compared with CXCL-8 CM group, however, the above results in the Shh inhibitor CM group showed reverse changes (P<0.01). (2) The experimental results in vivo:compared with the MSCs CM group and Shh inhibitor CM group, the healing effect of diabetic skin ulcer and the number of HUVECs labeled by green fluorescent protein in the CXCL-8 CM group were significantly increased (P<0.01). To conclude, these findings indicate that CXCL-8 stimulated MSCs secrete paracrine factors, vascular endothelial growth factor and epidermal growth factor, through the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway under the high glucose environment, which enhance the homing ability of HUVECs.

The authors introduced the construction of one-stop admission service in a large general hospital.Measures were carried out by implementing the measures of one window handling of admission business, building one-stop pre-hospital preparation center, optimizing the operational pattern of pre-hospital examination, strictly controlling the hospitalization time of surgical patients, optimizing the information system according to admission criteria, providing personalized services for clinic and implementing quality monitoring.It effectively improved the pre-hospital examination rate, shortened the waiting time and the average length of stay of the patients undergoing elective surgery, and increased the satisfaction of pre-hospital patients.

Objective: To understand the consistency of ALK Ventana-D5F3 immunohistochemistry (IHC) interpretation in Chinese lung adenocarcinoma among histopathologists from different hospitals, and to recommend solution for the problems found during the interpretation of ALK IHC in real world, with the aim of the precise selection of patients who can benefit from ALK targeted therapy. Methods: This was a multicenter and retrospective study. A total of 109 lung adenocarcinoma cases with ALK Ventana-D5F3 IHC staining were collected from 31 lung cancer centers in RATICAL research group from January to June in 2018. All cases were scanned into digital imaging with Ventana iSCANcoreo Digital Slide Scanning System and scored by 31 histopathologists from different centers according to ALK binary (positive or negative) interpretation based on its manufacturer′s protocol. The cases with high inconsistency rate were further analyzed using FISH/RT-PCR/NGS. Results: There were 49 ALK positive cases and 60 ALK negative cases, confirmed by re-evaluation by the specialist panel. Two cases (No. 2302 and No.2701) scored as positive by local hospitals were rescored as negative, and were confirmed to be negative by RT-PCR/FISH/NGS. The false interpretation rate of these two cases was 58.1% (18/31) and 48.4% (15/31), respectively. Six out of 31 (19.4%) pathologists got 100% accuracy. The minimum consistency between every two pathologists was 75.8%.At least one pathologist gave negative judgement (false negative) or positive judgement (false positive) in the 49 positive or 60 negative cases, accounted for 26.5% (13/49), 41.7% (25/60), respectively, with at least one uncertainty interpretation accounted for 31.2% (34/109). Conclusion There are certain heterogeneities and misclassifications in the real world interpretation of ALK-D5F3 IHC test, which need to be guided by the oncoming expert consensus based on the real world data.
