Objective:To investigate the feasibility of adipose tissue-derived stem cells(ADSCs) as the seeding cells of skin engineering for skin defect repair. Methods :Adipose tissues were isolated from a SD rat groin, the fat was cut and incubated in a collagenase solution, and then the ADSCs were cultivated in culture medium. The amplified cells in vitro were inoculated in collagen gel to form tissue engineered skin. Fifteen SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: experimental group was treated with ADSCs collagen tissue engineered active skin substitute, and single collagen and blank were served as two control groups. The materials were grafted onto total skin defect wounds on the back of rats in the corresponding group respectively. The effect of wound repair was observed histologically. Results:The time of wound healing in the ADSCs and collagen experimental group, the single collagen control group and the blank control group were (14.3?1.7) days,(16.9?2.5)days,and (21.2?4.2)days respectively, and showed significant differences(P

Objective: To observe the biocompatibility of acellular nerve scaffold (ANS) via three sterilization methods, to provide experimental data for tissue engineering industrialization. Methods: Pig sciatic nerves were cut and treated using the NaOH maceration method. ANSs were sterilized by ethylene oxide, ~(60)Co-irradiation and peracetic acid. Evaluated the biocompatibility by MTT, cellular compatibility test, collagenase susceptibility test in vitro and local implantation test. Results: ANS retained the integrity of structure and major components of the basement membrane. The result of MTT test showed that the ANSs via different sterilization methods had statistical differences. There were no overall significant differences in Collagenase susceptibility test. Scanning electron microscope results showed the skin fibroblasts could attach, proliferate and grow well on the surface and holes of ANS with sterilization of PAA and Co~(60),a small quantity of cells adhered on ANS with sterilization of ETO. Tests for local effects after implantation show that different sterilization methods don't effect the ability of ANS to resist the enzyme degradation. In ETO group, rats showed an acute inflammatory response followed by chronic inflammation. In PAA and ~(60)Co group rats showed an acute inflammatory response that diminished such that the graft ultimately became indistinguishable from native tissue, observations that were consistent with graft acceptance. Conclusion: Peracetic acid sterilization offers a convenient alternative protocol for ANS processing. ANS sterilized with PAA shows good compatibility and biologic safety. It is an ideal sterilization method for ANS.

Objective:To study the effects of different collagen conc en tration on the proliferation of rat fibroblasts.Methods: Fibrobl asts of 1-2 days new born SD rat from back skin were isolated and seeded into D MEM containing ?=10% fetal boven serum and collagen at the concentration (mg/ml ) of 6.4,5.3and 4.0 respectively. The status and numbers of fibroblasts were observed under light microscope and analysized using ttest. Results : The general condition of fibroblasts in 6.4 mg/ml collagen was better than that in the other groups. The processes of the cells were apparent, simila r to the status of the cells in two-dimensional culture. Vacuoles and granules in cells were observed in 5.3 mg/ml collagen. In 4 mg/ml collagen, the processe s of fibroblasts disappeared; the nuclei were karyopyknosis or dissolved. Some c ells was likely to be apoptotic. The average cell number per 200? field of micr oscope in 6.4,5.3 and 4.0 mg/ml collagen was 25,15 and 6 respectively (P

Objective To assessed the distribution of two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)loci (rs2383206.rs10757278)on chromosome 9p21 in Xinjiang Uygur and Han nationality populations,and to investigate correlation and the incidence of all cases of macrovascular disease (coronary artery disease,carotid atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease)and analysis of risk factors.To further study the correlation between the incidence of two single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)loci (rs2383206.rs10757278)on chromosome 9p21 in type 2 diabetes melli-tus(T2DM)of Han and Uygur ethnic and the incidence of all cases vascular disease,then to analysis the risk factors. Methods 497 adults with T2DM who were treated in the Endocrinology department in hospital from May 2012 to April 2014 were involved in this study,including 298 Uygur patients and 199 Han patients.215 non -T2DMpatients who were treated in the Cardiology department in hospital were also involved in the study,including 93 Uighur patients and 122 Han patients.Then the total 712 patients were detectedby using PCR -SNP Stream technology to analyse rs2383206.rs10757278 loci SNP genotyping.The relevant results were compared with t test,two different genotype distribution and allele frequency were compared with χ2 test,multiple factors analysis were calculated by Logisitic regression.Results The distribution of genotype with two SNP loci had no significant difference between the patients in Uygur group and Han group (rs2383206χ2 =5.570,P =0.062;rs10757278 χ2 =2.721,P =0.257 ),and there's no significant difference between the patients with macrovascular disease and non -macrovascular disease in all patients(rs2383206χ2 =0.120,P =0.950;rs10757278 χ2 =1.027,P =0.598).Logisitic regression analysis showed that the incidence of macrovascular was significantly associated with increasing age(χ2 =28.820,P =0.000)and fatty liver(χ2 =5.210,P =0.020)in Uighur group with type 2 DM.In Han group with type 2 DM,the macrovascular was significantly associated with the increase of age (χ2 =19.980,P =0.000),elevated fasting blood glucose (FPG)(χ2 =4.070,P =0.044)and poor controlled with glycosylated hemoglobin (χ2 =4.280,P =0.040). Conclusion This study found that there's no correlation between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS)loci (rs2383206.rs10757278)on chromosome 9 p21 large with macrovascular in Uygur group and Han group.Increasing age,higher FPG and poor controlled with glycosylated hemoglobin combined with fatty liver were the risk factors for macrovascular.

Objective To examine the association of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and serum uric acid (SUA) in middle and elderly Chinese. Methods 10 413 Guangzhou residents aged ≥50 were included in the present study. Information on personal history,physical examination and biochemical parameters were collected. Subjects were grouped by the FPG level,association between FPG and SUA. Levels of hyperuricemia(HUA)were evaluated. Results The SUA levels and the incidence of HUA showed trends of increasing,with the increasing FPG levels in women,with statistically significant differences seen among all the FPG groups(P value for trend<0.05). While the statistical differences of SUA levels and the incidence rates of HUA among diabetes group(DM group)and impaired fasting glucose(IFG)groups were non-significant(P>0.05)but it was higher than normal FPG group in men (P<0.05). Logistic regression models were built between various FPG groups and HUA. After adjusting for age,smoking status,drinking status,physical activity, hypertension,body mass index and the levels of triglyceride and creatin. When compared to the normal FPG group,the risk of women suffering from HUA increased by 40%(95%CI:1.19-1.64) under the FPG in the range of 6.1-6.9 mmol/L. Compared to those non-diabetic individuals,the risk of diabetic patients suffering from HUA also increased by 44%(95%CI:1.15-1.79) in women. However,the risk of suffering from HUA did not relate to the increase of FPG in men. Conclusion The SUA level and the incidence of HUA tended to increase along with the increasing levels of FPG in middle and elderly Chinese women and the increase of FPG might also increase the risk of HUA,but not in men.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on the efficacy of Schwann cell (SC) and on the repair of peripheral nerve defect. 50 ng x ml(-1) TGF-beta was shown to promote the proliferation of SC by MTT and flow cytometry (FCM) assay, and NGF synthesis in SC culture media was noted to be of significantly higher concentration by ELISA method (P<0.05). SCs mixed with bovine acellular matrix (BAM), fetal bovine serum and media based on definite ratio were injected into polylactideco-glycolide acid (PLGA)guide. 30 SD rats, each had a man-made sciatic nerve defect 15 mm long, were randomly divided into 3 groups: experiment group (PLGA conduit+SC+TGF-beta), control group(PLGA conduit+SC), and autograft group. After 16 weeks, it was demonstrated that the effect of the test group was not significantly different from that of the autograft group, but it was better than that of the control group by means of electrophysiological test and sciatic nerve function index (SFI). TGF-beta can promote not only the proliferation, but also the NGF synthesis of SC obviously. The use of exogenous TGF-beta in the repair of peripheral nerve defect may produce better curative effect.

Speaking lesson is an effective way and teaching skill to prepare lessons for the teaching of anatomy. Taking the speaking lesson design of lecture teaching of the neck as an example, this article shows the teaching of topographic anatomy for "5+3" integrated clinical medical students. Adhering to the teaching concept of "student-centered", we have launched the theoretical teaching of "problem-centered discussion" and the experimental teaching of "operator responsibility system" in groups, with the "thanksgiving" humanistic education running through the whole process of theoretical and experimental courses. The teaching is a good way to cultivate the students' gratitude consciousness and humanistic quality, self-learning ability, critical thinking ability, communication and expression ability, hands-on operation ability and teamwork spirit, which has laid a solid foundation for training medical professionals in the new era.

Objective: To investigate the differences and diversity changes in gut microbiota between children and adolescents with constipation and diarrhea, and healthy individuals, and to explore the correlation between changes in stool consistency and gut microbiota, in order to provide a scientific reference for the research on intestinal microecology among children and adolescents. Methods: From October 2021 to March 2022, a total of 42 children and adolescents with constipation and 37 with diarrhea from a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou City, and 43 healthy individuals from 3 primary and secondary schools were included in this study. Fecal samples of children and adolescents were collected and then stool genomic DNA was extracted for 16S rRNA gene high throughput sequencing, and the sequencing results were analyzed. In the analysis of alpha diversity, the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used to compare the differences between the three groups, and the FDR multiple testing correction was used for pairwise comparisons. In the analysis of beta diversity, the Adonis test was used to compare the overall differences between the three groups, and the ANOSIM test was used for pairwise comparisons. In the LEfSe analysis, the LDA scores obtained through LDA analysis (linear regression analysis). Results: Alpha diversity analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the Shannon index (4.01, 3.81, 4.19) and Simpson index (0.05, 0.06, 0.04) between the diarrhea group, constipation group, and healthy group ( H=6.05, 6.35, P <0.1). Further pairwise comparison showed that the Shannon index and Simpson index of the healthy group were higher than those of the constipation group ( P <0.1). Beta diversity analysis showed that the impact of grouping factors on inter group differences was statistically significant ( R 2=0.045, P <0.1). Community composition analysis showed that there were 234 species in total among the three groups, and 36 unique species in the healthy group, 36 species in the diarrhea group, and 48 species in the constipation group. Species difference analysis showed significant differences in species composition at the genus level among the three groups ( H=0.000 05, 0.000 16, 0.000 20, 0.000 21, 0.000 53, 0.001 39, P <0.1), including Lachnospiraceae of Firmicutes phylum, Eubacterium hallii, Veillonellaceae, Qscillospiraceae, Butyricicoccaceae and Staphylococcaceae, respectively. KEGG abundance statistics and COG functional analysis showed that there were no significant differences in gene expression abundance of the same function among the three groups ( P >0.1). Conclusions The different stool consistency of children and adolescents is related to changes in gut microbiota composition. Compared to the healthy group, children with constipation or diarrhea have disrupted gut microbiota balance, with a shift in dominant bacteria and a higher abundance of opportunistic pathogens.

Objective To investigate the value of heparin-binding protein(HBP) in predicting urosepsis after endoscopic lithotripsy for upper urinary tract stones.Methods From January to November 2018,635 cases of upper urinary tract stones treated by endoscopic lithotripsy in our hospital was analyzed.According to the 2014 edition Chinese Guidelines of the diagnosis and treatment of urosepsis,all patients were divided into two groups,the definite urosepsis group (n =53,8.3％) and the no urosepsis group (n =582,91.7％).The serum of HBP level was detected by fluorescence immunoassay technology.The serum of procalcitonin (PCT) level was detected by cyclic enhanced immunofluorescent assay.C-reactive protein (CRP) level was detected by automatic chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer.White blood cells (WBC) count was performed by hematology analyzer.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were constructed by SPSS 22 and MedCale,and areas under curves (AUC) were calculated and compared to illustrate the diagnostic power of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC.The correlation between HBP and WBC was also significant (r =0.68,P ＜ 0.05).Results The level of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC were significantly higher in the definite urosepsis group compared to the no urosepsis group.AUC of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC were 0.930,0.878,0.727 and 0.617.When the cutoff of HBP,PCT,CRP and WBC were set as 51.5 ng/ml,0.41 ng/ml,64.2 mg/L and 11.7 × 109/L,the sensitivities were 89.2％,83.3％,83.5％ and 44.7％,and the specificity were 95.9％,75.6％,64.3％ and 77.1％,respectively.Conclusions The value of heparin-binding protein was superior to that of PCT,CRP and WBC in predicting urosepsis after endoscopic lithotripsy for upper urinary tract stones.Heparin-binding protein could be acted as a diagnostic marker for urosepsis.

Microwave thermal ablation technology is widely used in the treatment of liver tumors because of its minimal invasiveness and small side effects. The precise control of the thermal dose largely determines the therapeutic effect of microwave thermal ablation. However, the current magnetron-based microwave thermal ablation device has the disadvantages of poor power output stability and high operating voltage. In view of the above problems, this paper selected the microwave solid-state source as the core device of microwave output, and designed a dual-frequency microwave thermal ablation system based on 2 450 MHz and 433 MHz. The system used the power detection circuit to perform PID feedback control on the actual output power of the system. The experimental results show that the maximum output power of the system is less than 1 W. The PID algorithm further enhances the accuracy and stability of the system output power while improving the system security. The dual-frequency microwave thermal ablation system designed in this paper can provide a safe and reliable experimental platform for subsequent research.
