Objective To compare the growth characteristics,proliferation and osteo/odontogenic differentiation capability of stem cells from human dental pulp (dental pulp stem cells,DPSCs) and apical papilla (stem cells from apical papilla,SCAP) in vitro.Methods Human dental pulp and apical papilla tissues were separated from impacted third molars of young healthy donors at the age of root development and digested by collagenase type Ⅰ and dispase type Ⅱ to derive primitive DPSCs and SCAP.Cells were then induced for osteo/odontongenic differentiation by medium containing β-glycerophosphate,dexamethasone and KH2PO4.Flow cytometry was utilized to test the expression of specific markers of stem cells,including CD24,CD34,CD45,CD90,CD105,CD146,STRO-1 and OCT-4.AR-S was used to display the mineralization structure and RT-PCR was applied to analyze the expression of bone sialoprotein (BSP),osteocalcin (OCN) and dentine sialophosphoprotein (DSPP).Results Both DPSCs and SCAP were positive for CD90,CD105,CD146,STRO-1 and OCT-4,in percentages varying according to cell type,without expression of CD34 or CD45.Only SCAP expressed CD24 positively.Both cells formed organized mineralization structure after 2 weeks of induction in time-dependent manner,with more mineralization by SCAP and expressed differentiation markers,including BSP,OCN and DSPP.Conclusion Human DPSCs and SCAP possess the characteristics of MSCs and could be differentiated into odontonblast-like cells in vitro.Both cells are approachable stem cell sources for dental tissue engineering.

Objective To investigate the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and peripheral neuropathy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods Clinical data of elderly patients with T2DM in Endocrinology Department in Beijing Hospital were retrospectively collected.Global and sectorial retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)thicknesses were measured by using optical coherence tomography(OCT),and never conduction velocity measurements were performed in all patients.Diabetic peripheral neuropathy was diagnosed by the criteria in diabetic neuropathies update(2010,American Diabetes Association).RNFL thickness was compared between diabetic nonperipheral neuropathy group (control group,n =30)and diabetic peripheral neuropathy group (DPN group,n=17)and between different sub-groups.Results The RNFL thicknesses of temporal,nasal,superior and inferior visual fields and the mean RNFL thickness were less in DPN group than in control group,among which there were significant differences in the RNFL thicknesses of superior,inferior visual fields and the mean RNFL thickness [(107.7±27.4)μm vs.(128.1±17.3)μm,(112.9 ±20.8)μm vs.(130.8±21.8)μm,(88.2±15.5)μm vs.(100.5± 11.3)μm,F=7.446,7.468,7.988,respectively,P=0.009,0.009 and 0.007].RNFL thickness was decreased along with the aggravation of DPN from the control group,the subclinical DPN group to the DPN group successively(all P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness is associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes,and the relationship is more significant in patients with serious DPN.

Objective To examine the distribution and antibiotic resistance proifle of the bacterial isolates from lower respiratory tract of hospitalized patients for better empirical therapy.Methods A total of 3 155 lower respiratory tract specimens were collected from Respiratory Department of the First Afifliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in 2013 to identify bacterial pathogens for susceptibility testing. The results were compared with the data of 2011 and 2012.Results The top three bacterial species from lower respiratory tract in the period from 2011 to 2013 wereA. baumannii,P. aeruginosa, andK. pneumoniae. The prevalence ofS. aureusincreased, while the prevalence ofS. maltophilia andS. pneumoniae was still low.A. baumannii isolates were highly resistant to antibiotics. Not more than 40% of these strains were susceptible to the antimicrobial agents except minocycline, which was active against more than 60% of the ICU and non-ICU strains. More than 70% of theP. aeruginosa strains from non-ICU were susceptible to cefepime, meropenem, imipenem, levofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin in the three years, 50%-70% of the strains from ICU were susceptible to the antimicrobial agents tested. Carbapenem-resistantA. baumannii andP. aeruginosa strains were identiifed.S. maltophilia strains were relatively susceptible to minocycline and levolfoxacin. All the S. aureus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, linezolid, and tigecycline. The prevalence of MRSA increased year by
year. More than 80% of theK. pneumoniae andE. coli strains were susceptible to imipenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, and cefepime. ESBLs-producingK. pneumoniae was identified. More than 85% of theH. influenzae strains were susceptible to meropenem, ceftazidime, cefuroxime, ciprolfoxacin, levolfoxacin, and amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium. All theS. pneumoniae isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, and 80%-96% of these strains were susceptible to levofloxacin and penicillin.ConclusionsA. baumannii,P. aeruginosa, andK. pneumoniae are the top three bacterial species isolated from lower respiratory tract. Carbapenem-resistantA. baumannii,P. aeruginosa and ESBLs-producingK. pneumoniaeare emerging. The prevalence of MRSA is increasing year by year, which poses a challenge to antimicrobial therapy. It is urgent to contain and control the growing antibiotic resistance.
