3.The prognosis and relationship between soluble differentiation antigen of cluster designation 14 and the injury severity score of patients with multiple injuries
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2012;21(4):411-414
ObjectiveTo explore the prognosis and relationship between soluble differentiation antigen of cluster designation 14 (sCD14) and the injury severity score (ISS) of casualties with multiple injuries.Methods A total of 86 casualties with multiple injuries were enrolled from October 2009 to March 2010,and the severity of trauma of casualties were assessed in ISS score within the first 24 hours after accident,and the patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups as per the outcomes in 28 days after accident. Another 20 healthy subjects served as control group. In multiple injuries group,sCD14 concentrations were detected and APACHE Ⅱ scores were calculated on the 1st,3rd,5th and 7th days after accident.The related coefficient between sCD14 and ISS was calculated and then the values of sCD14 in predicting prognosis were analyzed by ROC curve. ResultsCompared with control group, sCD14 concentrations were obviously higher in casualties of multiple injuries group at all observation intervals ( P <0.01). Compared with survival group, casualties of non-survival group had more higher sCD14 concentrations and APACHE Ⅱ scores ( P < 0.05 ).The sCD14 concentration was correlated with ISS and the related coefficient was 0.469 ( P < 0.01 ). ROC curve analysis suggested sCD14 had values in predicting prognosis of casualties with multiple injuries and area under ROC curve was 0.820.Conclusions The concentration of sCD14 is correlated with ISS and can be used for predicting the prognosis of casualties with multiple injuries.

Results:The total effective rate was 93.3%in the treatment group versus 80.0%in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Acupoint massage plus moxibustion can produce a better efficacy than acupoint massage alone in treating refractory insomnia.
8.Recent progress in differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into islet-like cells
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2008;24(5):581-583
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells existing in multi-organs and can differentiate into several kinds of somatic cells. Recently it has been found that MSCs, under defined conditions in vivo or in vitro, can be induced to trans-differentiate into islet-like cells, which can secrete a small amount of insulin and lower blood glucose levels in diabetic mice. Thus, two major obstacles of islet transplantation, the insufficience of donor islets and immunologic rejection, might be solved simultaneously with this technique. This finding provides a new insight into treatment for diabetes.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2001;0(07):-
Objective To explore the clinical value of colour doppler flow imaging (CDFI) in selecting the ectopic pregnancy(EP) suitable for medical treatment. Methods 50 cases of ectopic pregnancy with hematodynamic stability were injected with a single dose of 50mg/m 2 MTX after CDFI examination. All patients were followed up until clinical results were confirmed. The CDFI characteristics of the failure and the success cases were analysed in combination with their serum HCG levels, and a CDFI-based pretherapeutic score were designed. Results CDFI could reflect the viability of ectopic fetus directly.There was a significant difference in the successful rate of medical treatment of ectopic pregnancy among the patients with various types of CDFI images and the various levels of serum HCG (P10 had the high failure rate, thus medical treatment of ectopic pregnancy is not recommended to them.
