Objective To investigate the efficacy of transplantation of induced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)via various route for treatment of chronic liver injury.Methods MSCs were isolated and expanded by density gradient centrifugation combined with adherent culture.MSCs were induced to differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells in vitro.The markers of hepatocyte lineage were examined by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry.The changes of ultramicrostructure of MSCs were observed by transmission electron microscope.One hundred and fourteen Wistar rats were treated with mixture of 40%CCl4 and peanut oil to establish chronic liver injury model and another 6 rats were served as control.Twelve rats in model group were died within 8 weeks,and the rest rats were divided into portal vein,spleen and tail vein transplantation groups.The rats were transplanted with DAPI-labelled MSCs which were induced for 14 days.The distribution of the DAPI-labelled cells were observed by fluorescence microscopy.The liver function and pathology were examined.Results AFP mRNA expression were detected at 7th and 14th day after induction,expressions of ALB mRNA,CK18 and hepatocyte antigen were found at 14th and 2lth day.The ultrastructure examination revealed that MSCs were enlarged with a lot of endoplasmic reticulum,mitochondrion,lysosome and glycogen granule.DAPI labelled cells were found in the spleen and liver transplantion groups.The pathological changes of liver were alleviated in all treated groups,especially in intraspleenic transplantion group(P＜0.05).Conclusions Induced bone marrow MSCs can ameliorate liver function of chronic hepatic injury after transplantation.The intraspleenic transplantation is better than others.

BACKGROUND:The reasons for spinal imbalance include spinal deformity, spinal degenerative disease osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. We believe that the power factor (back muscle) plays a key role in spinal sagittal imbalance. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the reasons for spinal sagittal imbalance by observing clinical manifestations and therapeutic outcomes in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:A total of 41 patients with osteoporotic compression fractures combined with spinal sagittal imbalance were retrospectively analyzed from January 2012 to May 2013. Al patients were subjected to percutaneous bal oon vertebroplasty under local anesthesia. Before treatment, they received bone density, standing ful-spine lateral X-ray, CT and MR imaging with injured vertebrae as the center. Using standing ful-spine radiographs, the height of anterior border of the injured vertebrae, Cobb angle of kyphosis and improved angle, wedging angle of the injured vertebrae and improved angle were measured. The patients underwent weight loading test and walking test. Preoperative and postoperative data were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The patients affected spinal sagittal imbalance symptoms, so the walking distance was significantly shorter than that postoperatively (P<0.05). Moreover, the time of weight loading test was significantly shorter than that postoperatively (P<0.05). In standing ful-spine radiographs, the average difference of Cobb angle was (10.01±0.76)°. The mean difference of vertebral wedging improvement was (4.84±0.40)° (P<0.05). Al patients were fol owed up. Low back pain and sagittal imbalance symptoms were relieved. No severe complications appeared after percutaneous bal oon vertebroplasty. Results indicated that patients with osteoporosis compression fractures can affect the symptoms of spinal sagittal imbalance, which is not only induced by wedging of the injured vertebra. In addition, after percutaneous bal oon vertebroplasty, imbalance symptoms are apparently improved, suggesting that back pain after spinal fracture limits back muscle strength and is an important cause for spinal sagittal imbalance.

Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment for compression of inferior vena cava (IVC) by hepatic hydatid cyst.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 10 patients with hepatic hydatid cyst compressing inferior vena cava who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of School of Medicine of Shihezi University from May 2013 to May 2018 were collected. There were 7 males and 3 females, aged (46±5)years, with a range from 38 to 51 years. Patients underwent subadventitial close total pericystectomy, subadven-titial partial pericystectomy or subadventitial close total pericystectomy with partial IVC resection according to the relative distance between hepatic hydatid cyst and IVC, and the feasibility of total pericystectomy. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview. Patients were followed up at the outpatient department at postoperative 3, 6, 12, 24 months using color Doppler ultrasound examination to detect the recurrence of hepatic hydatid cyst and inferior vena cava occlusion. The endpoint of follow-up was 2 years after operation, and the secondary endpoint of follow-up was recurrence of hepatic hydatid cyst. The follow-up time was up to May 2020. Measure-ment data with normal distribution were represent as Mean±SD, and count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical situations: 10 patients underwent surgery successfully without massive hemorrhage and septic shock during the operation, including 7 patients undergoing subadventitial close total pericystectomy, 2 patients undergoing subadventitial partial pericys-tectomy, and 1 patient undergoing subadventitial close total pericystectomy with partial IVC resection. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 10 patients were (99±27)minutes and (99±48)mL, respectively. (2) Postoperative situations: the time to drainage tube removal and duration of postoperative hospital stay of 10 patients were 2-5 days and (7.1±1.8)days. None of patients underwent postoperative bleeding, residual cavity infection, biliary fistula, or perioperative death. (3) Follow-up: of 10 patients, 9 patients completed the endpoint of follow-up and no recurrence of hepatic hydatid cyst or inferior vena cava occlusion formation was detected. The other 1 patient was followed up at postoperative 3, 6 months but failed to be followed up at postoperative 12 months, and no recurrence of hepatic hydatid cyst or inferior vena cava occlusion formation was detected during the follow-up time.Conclusion:Complete resection of hepatic hydatid cyst can be achieved by subadventitial close total pericystectomy, subadventitial partial pericystectomy or subadventitial close total pericystectomy with partial IVC resection.

Objective: To detect the relationship between variant of rsl255372 in transcription factor 7-Like 2(TCF7L2) gene and the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Tianjin Han populations. Methods: Three hundred and fifty-two T2DM patients and 176 healthy controls were randomly selected to extract the genome DNA. Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography was used to detect the PCR amplified fragment. The different peaks were chosen for sequencing. The differences of different genotype frequency between the groups were analysed. The Logistic regression was used to evaluate the risk factors of T2DM. Results: The G/T genotype frequencies of rsl2255372 were 18.5% and 2.8% in T2DM group and healthy control group respectively (P < 0.05). The G/T genotype, glycosylated hemoglobin, urea nitrogen and the systolic blood pressure were the independent risk factors of T2DM, and the high density lipoprotein was the protective factor. There was no significant difference of the G/T genotype frequency in T2DM patients with different complications. Conclusion: This study indicates that G/T genotype in the TCF7L2 gene significantly contributes to T2DM susceptibility in Tianjin Han populations. The G/T genotype is one of the risk factors of the T2DM.

Sperm-mediated gene transfer (SMGT) is one of the most methods in the transgenic animal research and the efficiency of spermatozoa binding and internalization exogenous DNA after sperm/DNA co-culture is important to a successful SMGT.In this study,the influencing factors of exogenous DNA uptake by spermatozoa were detected using DIG labeled EGFP as exogenous gene.The results demonstrated that porcine spermatozoa could spontaneously take up exogenous DNA which mainly binding occurs on the sub-acrosomal and nuclei region of the sperm head.The rate of spermatozoa binding exogenous DNA increased with the extending action of time.At 37℃ and 39℃,the rate of spermatozoa uptake exogenous DNA would not increase after 60 min incubation,and the similar result was observed on 90 min at 17℃.Binding rates and internalization rates of washed ejaculated sperm cells from the 15 boars varied between 6.57%-35.81% and 2.990%-24.66%,respectively.The binding rate and intemalization rate were mostly inhibited by seminal plasma.The binding rates were significantly increased by liposome and DMSO,respectively.Dead-spermatozoa could bind exogenous DNA,the intermalization process could not be completed.Furthermore,the highest binding rate was found in membrane broken spermatozoa as a result of freeze-thawing and this was independent of the sperm donors.

We analyzed the cost effectiveness of four different surgical methods (A,B,C and D) in treatment of hepatic echinococcosis.Totally 757 cases of hepatic echinococcosis surgery clinical data and cost information of hospitalized cases were collected from nine hospitals in Xinjiang during 2005-2013.The clinical effects,cost effectiveness ratio and incremental costeffectiveness ratio were analyzed and compared.The total complication rates were 15.8％,9.2％,0％ and 2.9％;the recurrence rates were 7.3％,6.2％,0％ and 0％;the cure rates were 77.8％,84.6％,100.0％ and 97.1％;the cost (RMB) were 11 947.3,18 543.6,25 510.7 and 18 877.4,cost-effectiveness ratio were 153.6,219.1,255.1 and 194.3,incremental cost-effectiveness ratio /C//E were 964.4,610.4 and 358.0 respectively for group A,B,C and D.The results after adjusting of price factor were consistent with original cost effectiveness analysis.The complete resection of inner and outer capsule (D) is the most effective and economical way of clinical operation and may worthy be promoted in treatment of hepatic echinococcosis.

Objective To study the application of 99Tcm in rabbit cerebral thromboembolic stroke and thrombolysis effect of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA).Methods The 0.5 mL radioactive pertechnetate sodium (specification:5 mCi/2mL and radiation intensity 92.5 MBq/mL) was combined with 30 μL stannous chloride (5 mg/mL),and the 20 μL mixture was joined to whole blood,red blood cells,and plasma for labelling.Then 50 μL CaCl2 (0.5 mol/L) and bovine thrombin (50 IU/mL) were doped in mixture,and rapidly sucked into a polyethylene plastic pipe (PE80).Thrombus was formed for 2 h at 37 ℃ and cut into small pieces of 10 mm.Autologous blood clots combined with 99Tcm from external carotid artery were injected to internal carotid artery of rabbit,the radioactivity (counts per minute,CPM) was measured by gamma counting instrument,and the improvement of rt-PA 4.5 mg/kg (clinical equivalent dose) on this model was observed.Results After thromboembolism,CPM increased approximately by (5.1 ± 1.3) times,which suggested that the model was reliable.The rt-PA 4.5 mg/kg had significant progressive thrombolysis effect.Conclusion 99Tcm tracer technology could be applied to rabbit cerebral stroke model,which is stable and reliable

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) with gastrointestinal manifestations,and to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of IHES. Methods:The clinical materials, process of diagnosis and treatment and prognosis of 9 patients diagnosed as IHES with gastrointestinal manifestations were retrospectively analyzed. Results:The average age of 9 patients was (22.66± 12.86)years old,and the ratio of male and female was about 1.25∶ 1. The main clinical manifestations included abdominal pain,diarrhea and abdominal distension.The eosinophil percentages in peripheral blood and bone marrow of the patients were (42.66 ± 19.88 )% and (39.33 + 15.99 )%, respectively.The ascites exudate cytology examination showed eosinophil infiltrated.The results of gastroscope or colonoscope showed mucosal hyperemia and edema,scattered bleeding spots, and dark red granular hyperplasia; the colon was affected frecuently.The histological biopsy confirmed that the mucosal was infiltrated by eosinophils.The abdominal CT of 6 patients showed that the walls of stomach or bowel were thickened.The abdominal symptoms disappeared,and the ascites was absorpted in 9 patients after the treatment of glucocorticoid.After 2 years of follow up,2 patients had relapse, others had no recurrence.Conclusion:Performing the routine diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, the clinicians should consider the possibility of IHES in order to avoid the misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. When IHES is diagnosed,steroid treatment should be performed in preference.

Objective To investigate the sensitization pattern of Blomia tropicalis in patients with aller-gic respiratory disease and the association between Blomia tropicalis with allergic rhinitis and / or asthma. Meth-ods 330 allergic rhinitis and / or asthma patients sensitized with mites were selected in Guangzhou,and sIgE lev-el in the serum of all recruited patients of Blomia tropical,Dermatophagoide pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoide fa-rina was measured. Results The sensitization rate of Blomia tropicalis was significantly lower than that of Derma-tophagoide pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoide farina(P < 0.001,both). 80.0% Patients were sensitized with both three mites,and only 0.3% patients were of monosensitization to Blomia tropicalis. The sIgE of these three mites were significantly positive correlated with each other(P < 0.001),Dermatophagoide pteronyssinus and Derma-tophagoide farina have strong correlation(r = 0.906),Blomia tropicalis has moderate correlation with Dermatopha-goide pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoide farina(r = 0.540 and r = 0.512,respectively). With the increase of Blomia tropicalis sIgE,the severe sensitization rate(sIgE level:class 5~6)of patients sensitized combined Der-matophagoide pteronyssinus or Dermatophagoide farina significantly increased(P < 0.001). The sIgE level of Der-matophagoide pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoide farina in allergic asthma and rhinitis patients were significantly higher than that of patients with rhinitis or asthma alone(P < 0.001),and the sIgE level of Blomia tropicalis in pa-tients with both allergic asthma and rhinitis or with asthma alone were also significantly higher than that of patients with rhinitis alone(P = 0.006 and P = 0.020,respectively). Conclusion The Blomia tropicalis sensitized pa-tients usually sensitize together with Dermatophagoide pteronyssinus or Dermatophagoide farina,and the degree of Blomia tropicalis sensitized in asthma patients are higher.
