Generally speaking,embryonic stem cells,embryonic germ cells and embryonal carcinoma cells are pluripotent stem cells and they have the potential to differentiate into germ cells.Spermatogonial stem cells is unique adult germline stem cells and can differentiate into sperm.Recent research with stem cells from both embryonic and adult origin will be discussed with particular attention to results that challenge conventional wisdom about the presence of germline stem cells in adults and the plasticity of adult stem cell types.This review focuses on the progress in the research of germline stem cells and introduces the origin and plasticity of adult germline stem cells and its future directions in medical science.

Objective To evaluate whether it can prevent Frey's syndrome by reserving parotid fascia or reconstructing parotid fascia with sternocleidomastoid muscle and remaining of parotid fascia in parotidectomy. Methods Fifty-two patients undergoing parotidectomy with maintained and reconstructed parotid fascia were followed up. A test of chewing vitamin C slice guidance and iodine-amylum pilot was conducted for observing the incidence of postoperative Frey's syndrome. Results Flush with perspires was found only in 5 out of the 52 patients (9.61%), which was lower than the incidence after traditional parotidectomy. Conclusion The method of reserving and reconstructing parotid fascia with sternocleidomastoid muscle and remaining of parotid fascia in parotidectomy can efficiently prevent Frey's syndrome, and can also repair the hollow abnormity of the face.

Objective:To evaluate fixation effect of intermaxillary fixation screw.Methods:63 cases with mandibular fractures were treated with open reduction,and then internal fixation were managed with intermaxillary fixation using dental arch splint or intermaxillary fixation screw randomly.The operation time,postoperation periodontal index,mouth open degree,occluding relation and fracture healing were compared.Results:There was no significant difference upon occluding relation,fracture healing and mouth open degree under two treatment methods.Compared with dental arch splint fixation method,intermaxillary fixation screw had shorter operation time and better periodontal index.Conclusion:Intermaxillary fixation screw is a good intermaxillary fixation method because of short operation time.Furthermore,it can provide enough traction retention strength and easy to maintain oral hygiene.

[Objective]To investigate the relationship between degeneration of cartilage and the expressions of Matrix Metalloproteinase 7(MMP-7),Matrix Metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9),Matrix Metalloproteinase 13(MMP-13)and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase 1(TIMP-1)in osteoarthritis.[Method]The histological changes of cartilages by hematoxyllin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase 7(MMP-7),Matrix Metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9),Matrix Metalloproteinase 13(MMP-13)and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase 1(TIMP-1)in osteoarthritis.were studied in 20 osteoarthritis cases and 2 normal controls.All data were statistically analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test and correlation analysis.[Result]The osteoarthritis cartilage underwent fibroplasias and tearing.The quantity of chondrocyte increased and the clustered and hypertrophic cells came into being.Little immunostaining of MMP-7 and MMP-13 was observed in normal cartilage,while their expressions increased in degenerated cartilage(P0.05),superficial layer of the moderate and end-stage osteoarthritis.However,it significantly increased in deep layer(P

Objective:To evaluate the possibility of prevention of Frey's syndrome by reservation and reconstruction of parotid fascia in parotidectomy.Methods:Parotidectomy with parotid fascia reservation and reconstruction was conducted in 31 cases. 12 months-12 years after operation the patients were examined by Minor test.Result:Positive reaction of Minor test was observed in 3 out of the 31 cases(9.67%).Conclusion:A parotidectomy with reservation and reconstruction of parotid fascia can efficiently prevent Frey's syndrome.

Objective To study the influence of health behavior intervention on coping style and hope level in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods 60 lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were divided into the intervention group and the control group with 30 patients in each group. Two groups all had an operation, carried on the normal nursing care and health education. After operation, the intervention group accepted health behavior intervention from the beginning of the first period chemotherapy. After the third period chemotherapy, coping style and hope level of the two groups were measured. Results After intervention, positive coping style "confrontation" had a higher score. Negative coping style such as obviation and acception got lower scores in the intervention group compared with the control group. In addition to "keep an intimate relation(I)",the rest dimensions of hope level showed significant differences as well. Conclusions Applying the related theories of health behavior to build up mental nursing intervention mode has a significant meaning on lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. It can increase patients' positive coping style and reduce negative aspects. At the same time, hope levels of lung cancer patients also have an improvement.

Objective To know the relationship of self-efficacy and quality of life of patients with breast cancer after postoperative chemotherapy, and then carry out reference to clinical nursing cares. Methods Interviewed 115 patients with breast cancer after postoperative chemotherapy by questionnaire to know their conditon about self-efficacy and quality of life, and then analysis the relationship between them. Results The general score of quality of life of patients with breast cancer was 105.62±6.68, which was significant lower than the normal model. There was significant correlation of self-effi-cacy and quality of life of patients with breast cancer. Conchusions Related experts should emphasis the postoperative management of patients with breast cancer, and then promote their self-efflcacy and quality of life.

Objective:To screen and identify the potential targets of carthamin against sepsis by studying the characteristics of carthamin.Methods:The pharmacological parameters and molecular characteristics of carthamin were analyzed with the aid of Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP). The targets of carthamin were screened by SwissTargetprediction (a website providing compound target prediction) and Drug Repositioning and Adverse drug Reaction via Chemical-Protein Interactome (DRAR-CPI). The anti-sepsis targets were selected from the three databases of Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) and Therapeutic Targets Database (TTD). The targets of carthamin screened by the two websites and disease targets selected from the three databases were matched to screen the targets of carthamin against sepsis. The anti-sepsis potential targets of carthamin were identified by molecular docking software.Results:The oral bioavailability of carthamin was 41.15%, the drug-likeness was 0.24, and the rotational bond number was 1, which indicated that carthamin was well absorbed by oral administration and showed good drug formation. A total of 115 potential targets of carthamin were screened by SwissTargetprediction and DRAR-CPI; 149 disease targets were found from OMIM, CTD and TTD databases; 115 target proteins of carthamin screened by the two websites were matched with the disease targets , and 10 target proteins were found to be both molecular targets and disease targets. The 10 target proteins were coagulation factor Ⅸ (F9), adenosine A1 receptor (ADORA1), nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2), mitogen activity protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), cathepsin G (CTSG), neutrophil elastase (ELANE), protein C (PROC), lipocalin 2 (LCN2), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and prostaglandin endoperoxidase 2 (PTGS2). Molecular docking software analysis showed that carthamin had the ability to bind to the above 10 target proteins, which were potential targets of carthamin against sepsis. Carthamin could interact with the key amino acid residues of the targeted proteins, so as to play the corresponding efficacy.Conclusion:Carthamin combines with the targets could reduce the tissues and organs damage of sepsis by regulating CTSG, ELANE and LCN2, reduce inflammatory response of sepsis by regulating ADORA1, PTGS2, NOS2, MAPK1 and mediating PROC and F9 to inhibit clotting, and improve oxidative stress, reduce the incidence of sepsis by regulating G6PD, finally, prevented and treated sepsis.
