1.Research advances of baby body plethysmography
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(16):1261-1264
Baby body plethysmography is a well-established technique of lung function determination,which is widely used to access the respiratory development and obstructive airway diseases by precisely measuring tidal breathing,functional residual capacity,and air way resistance.Babies who accept lung function measurements in the baby body plethysmography are under quiet state of spontaneous breathing without any subjective initiative,which results in multiplexed data acquisition,high precision and good repeatability.Clinical application of baby body plethysmography differs in different countries and areas,with the most intensive application in the German-speaking countries.In China,the clinical use of baby body plethysmography still remains in primary stage.Great progress has been achieved in its clinical use during the past 20 years,but there is still a lack of consensus on normal reference values or equations with which to interpret results,which has caused some trouble to diagnosis and identification of respiratory disease.In order to identify the nature and severity of airway disease,it is essential to understand the normal range of plethysmographic values that may occur in healthy infants of similar age,gender and body size.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;25(1):141-145
BACKGROUND: The characteristics of laminin that can promote the proliferation of stem cells have been widely concerned. OBJECTIVE: To review the interactions between laminin and many different stem cells, and provide reliable theoretical basis for chondrogenic research and application of stem cells. METHODS: Wanfang, CNKI, PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for articles related to mechanism of laminin, changes in stem cell behaviors, and cartilage regeneration published from January 2010 to October 2019. The retrieval terms were “laminin” and “steam cells” in Chinese and English. Duplicated and poorly related articles were excluded, and finally 57 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The structural characteristics of laminin were summarized. The spatiotemporal changes of laminin during cartilage development and degradation were analyzed. At the same time, the distribution of laminin expression in natural cartilage tissue and tissue engineered cartilage tissue was compared. (2) The effects of laminin on the proliferation of various stem cells, including embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and adult stem cells, were described. (3) The possible hotspots on the combination of laminin and stem cells for cartilage regeneration were proposed, with the attempt of providing theoretical basis for cartilage repair and regeneration in the future.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of VEGF and NF-κB/p65 in the two subtypes of pleomorphic adenoma. Methods Immunohistochemistry was applied to detect the expression of VEGF and NF-κB/p65 in pleomorphic adenoma of 60 patients including 31 cases of cell-rich and 29 cases of stroma-rich as well as normal salivary gland tissues of 30 cases from adjacent tumor. Results VEGF positive staining was mainly found in tumor epithelia,while NF-κB/p65 positive was detected in gland alveolus cell and ductal epithelia. The Mean optical density( MA ) values of VEGF were 955.67 ± 305.79,149. 13 ± 60. 85 and 53.46 ± 9. 66, respectively, in cell-rich adenoma, stroma-rich adenoma and normal control. The difference in VEGF expression between the groups was significant (Ps < 0. 05 ) . The MA values of NF-κB/p65 were 529. 80 ± 164. 81,43.40 ±5.46 and 6. 84 ± 1.91 ,respectively,in three groups mentioned above. The difference in NF-κB/p65 expression between the groups was significant ( Ps < 0. 05 ). In pleomorphic adenoma, the expression level of NF-κB/p65 was positively correlated with VEGF. Conclusion ( 1 ) The angiogenesis and proliferation potential of carcinomas increased with the cell component in pleomorphic adenoma. Stroma-poor adenoma is more frequently subjected to malignant transformation than stroma-rich adenoma. (2) NF-κB/p65 may have effects on angiogenesis by activating VEGF. Detecting the expression of VEGF and NF-κB/p65 may be helpful to predict the biological behavior of pleomorphic adenoma and prognosis of the patients, which couldprovide useful information for future targeted therapy of pleomorphic adenoma.
