BACKGROUND:Hemostatic dressing can directly contact with the body tissues on the wound surface. The biocompatibility is one of the important indicators of evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of dressing. The hemostatic dressing prepared with calcium alginate as raw material has become a research focus owing to its low cost and good compatibility. OBJECTIVE:To observe the cytotoxicity of calcium alginate hemostatic dressings and to compare the cytotoxicity between calcium alginate hemostatic dressing and gelatin hemostatic sponge, absorbing cotton, ordinary gauze. METHEDS:Leaching solution method: the DMEM high glucose culture solution was taken as the leaching medium. The calcium alginate hemostatic dressing, gelatin hemostatic sponge, absorbing cotton and ordinary gauze leaching solution were respectively prepared. Five concentration gradients of 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 50% were set. The fibroblast cels of L-929 mouse were cultured for 24 hours with the above material leaching solution. The volume fraction of 10% DMEM high glucose culture medium was taken as control group, and DMEM high glucose culture medium containing 5% DMSO was taken as positive control group to observe the cel proliferation and morphological changes. Direct contact method: The fibroblast cels of L-929 mouse were respectively seeded in calcium alginate hemostatic dressing, gelatin hemostatic sponge, absorbing cotton and ordinary gauze and cultured for 24 hours. The changes in cel morphology were observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Leaching solution method: The cytotoxicity of alginate fiber hemostatic dressing, gauze, absorbing cotton leaching solution with different concentration gradients was grade 1, which was in line with GB/T16886/ ISO10993 biological evaluation standard of medical apparatus and instruments. The cytotoxicity of 100%, 75% gelatin hemostatic sponge extract solution was grade 3, causing severe inhibition of cel proliferation. Direct contact method: The cytotoxicity of gauze and alginate fiber hemostatic dressing was grade 1, absorbing cotton was grade 2, gelatin hemostatic sponge was grade 3. These results demonstrate that calcium alginate hemostatic dressing has no cytotoxicity.

Objective To investigate the safety, efficacy and key points of technology of endovascular embolization for ruptured wide-necked aneurysms of anterior communicating arteries. Methods The clinical, DSA imaging, interventional treatment and follow-up data of 35 patients with ruptured wide-neck aneurysms of anterior communicating arteries were analyzed retrospectively. Results Immediate postoperative angiography of the 35 patients found 100% occlusion were achieved in 29 (82.9%), 90% occlusion were achieved in 5 (14.3%), and 80%occlusion was achieved in 1 (2.8%). One patient had occlusion in ipsilateral anterior cerebral artery , whose blood vessel was patent after thrombosis. One patient had intraoperative aneurysm rupture. One patient had cerebral infaraction of anterior cerebral artery after the operation. Clinical follow-up was made from 6 to 60 months , and no aneurysms ruptured was found. 21 patients were followed up for 6 to 60 months with DSA. Two of them experienced recurrence, and they were not treated with supplementary packing. Conclusion Endovascular embolization for ruptured wide-necked aneurysms of anterior communicating arteries is more difficult , but it is safe and effective. Flexible choosing of various kinds of embolism technique and designing the most optimal embolism treatment plan are the keys to the improvement of embolization effect.

Objective To investigate the feasibility,efficacy and key points of individually designed endovascular embolization for ruptured tiny aneurysms of anterior communicating arteries. Methods The clinical,DSA imaging,interventional treatment and follow-up data of 21 patients with ruptured tiny aneurysms (21 aneurysms)of anterior communicating arteries from March 2009 to March 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Thirteen of them were treated with coil embolization only,6 were embolized with microcatheter-assisted technique,and 2 were embolized with balloon-assisted technique. Results (1)One patient was failed to embolize because of technical reason. Immediate postoperative angiography found that in the other 20 patients:14 were packed densely,6 had residual aneurysm necks. (2)Intraoperative complications:One patient had acute occlusion of ipsilateral anterior cerebral artery,the blood vessel was patent after thrombolytic method;2 patients had intraoperative ruptured aneurysm. (3)The modified Rankin scale (mRS)scores of 20 patients with successful embolization at discharge:0-1 in 14 cases,2 in 4 cases, and 3-4 in 2 cases. (4)Follow-up study:20 patients were followed up for 12 months after discharge. The mRS scores:0-1 in 18 cases,2 in 1 case,and 3-4 in 1 case. Clinical follow-up for 6 to 60 months,no aneurysm ruptured. Fifteen patients were followed up for 6 to 60 months with DSA,one of them recurred,and he was treated with supplementary dense packing. Conclusion Endovascular embolization for ruptured tiny aneurysms of anterior communicating arteries is difficult,but it is feasible and effective. The proficient surgical skill,individualized surgical design and appropriate embolism are the keys to improve the embolization effect.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of adenosine deaminase ( ADA) in pleural ef-fusion for diagnosis of tuberculosis pleuritis in children. Methods The level of ADA in pleural effusion was ret-rospectively analyzed in 28 cases with purulent pleuritis,thirty-four cases with mycoplasma pneumoniae pleuri-tis,forty-five cases with tuberculosis pleuritis from July 2011 to January 2014 in Beijing Children′s Hospital Af-filiated to Capital Medical University. Results The level of ADA in three groups was expressed by median (range interquartile). ADA in the purulent pleuritis group [126. 35 (76. 80,178. 13)U/L]was higher than the group of mycoplasma pneumoniae pleuritis [ 55. 55 ( 42. 80, 79. 03 ) U/L ] and tuberculosis pleuritis [ 26. 50 (22. 05,50. 95)U/L]. The difference was statistically significant (P< 0. 01). The cut-off value of pleural effu-sion ADA for diagnosis of tuberculosis pleuritis is not available by application of ROC curve. Conclusion Higher ADA value is not only the characteristic of tuberculosis pleuritis,but also purulent pleuritis and mycoplas-ma pneumoniae pleuritis. ADA has no clinical value in diagnosis of tuberculosis pleuritis in children.

OBJECTIVEThe effect of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on the osteogenic differentiation of humanperiodontal ligament stem cells(hPDLSCs) was discussed. Changes in the Wnt signaling pathway during glycation were also determined.

METHODSIn vitro tissue explanting method was primarily applied. Limiting diluted clone was cultured to obtain hPDLSCs in vitro. The subjects were divided into two groups: the healthy group (N-hPDLSCs) and the AGEs-stimulating group (A-hPDLSCs). Osteoblast mineralization was induced in the experimental groups. The following processes were performed: alizarin red staining; alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining; real time polymerase chain reaction (real time PCR) for detecting osteogenic genes and Wnt classical pathway-related factors, DKK-1 and β-catenin; Western blot analysis. Bone protein and β-catenin were correlated in the nuclear expression.

RESULTSThe cells were osteogenically induced. ALP staining showed that the N-hPDLSCs displayed the deepest color. Alizarin red staining indicated that the A-hPDLSCs group had less calcified nodules than the N-hPDLSCs group. The real time PCR results suggested that the expression of relative osteogenic genes in A-hPDLSCs was quite low. Statistically significant differences in differentiation were found between groups (P < 0.05). The Western blot result was similar to that of real time PCR. Classical Wnt signaling pathway-related factor β-catenin was higher in A-hPDLSCs than in N-hPDLSCs. By contrast, DKK-1, which is an inhibitor in the Wnt pathway, had a significantly lower expression rate in A-hPDLSCs than in N-hPDLSCs. The Western blot result also showed that β-catenin expression in the nucleoprotein in A-hPDLSCs was notably higher than in N-hPDLSCs.

CONCLUSIONAGEs can inhibit hPDLSCs osteogenic differentiation. AGEs induce changes in the normal periodontal ligament stem cells classical Wnt pathway. Canonical Wnt pathway is reactivated because of AGEs stimulation.
