BACKGROUND:Endothelial progenitor cells are recruited into local vascular injury under the injury-induced stimulation, and then differentiate into mature endothelial cells that are thereby involved in angiogenesis and endothelial repair. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether endothelial progenitor cells can al eviate renal injury and improve renal function of ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) rats. METHODS:Peripheral blood samples extracted from Sprague-Dawley rats were used to isolate and culture endothelial progenitor cells using density gradient centrifugation. Twenty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to three groups:I/R group, normal control group, and endothelial progenitor cells group. In the I/R and endothelial progenitor cells groups, the right kidney was removed and the renal artery and vein of the left kidney were occluded for 40 minutes to establish I/R models in the rats, and then endothelial progenitor cells (5×109/L, total y 1 mL) or solvent was transplanted via the artery of the left kidney into the left kidney. In the normal control group, the experimental procedure was same as that in the I/R group except for occlusion of the artery and vein of the left kidney. Renal and blood samples from three groups were col ected at day 1 after operation. Peripheral blood CD34 and vascular endoethelial growth factor receptor 2 expressions were determined using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence methods, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were tested, and immunohistochemistry observation was used for CD34 observation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal control group, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were significantly increased, and tubulointerstitial CD34 expression was decreased in the I/R group (P<0.05). Endothelial progenitor cells treatment largely decreased the levels of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen, and increased CD34 expression (P<0.05). These findings indicate that transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells contributes to renal protection in I/R rats.

Objective:To analyze the current hotspots of international research on patient safety in recent 10 years, and to provide reference for the scientific research and practical management of patient safety in China.Methods:Based on Web of Science database, CiteSpace visual analysis software was used to analyze the related literature on patient safety collected from January 2009 to December 2018. Word frequency analysis and Co-word clustering were performed on research institutions, authors, countries, journals, cited literature and high frequency keywords.Results:At present, the international research on patient safety is mainly concentrated in European and American higher educational institution with Harvard University as the core; the core journals are The Journal of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet and other journals with the highest international academic influence; the patient safety phase is excavated through keyword co-occurrence cluster analysis. There are 9 international research hotspots, such as safety practice management, safety index research, safety education and safety culture construction. Conclusion:The relevant research background and current situation in the international field of patient safety are in a mature and stable stage. The research team is mainly concentrated in developed areas such as Europe and the United States, and a more closely cooperative and shared research model has been formed. The research hotspot and focus are closely around the multi-disciplinary and multi-field research theme of "patient-centered" advocated by the World Health Organization, which is worthy of domestic researchers' reference and learning. Also, the research and exploration work cored on patient safety domestically needed to be further structured and promoted.

Objective: To determine the effect of polygona-polysaccharose (PP) on learning and memory ability in rats with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: Forty ifve Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned into 3 groups. Rats in the sham-operated group were injected with normal saline. Rats in the Aβ group were injected with Aβ1-42. Rats in the PP group were injected with 16% PP solution for 45 days consecutively. hTe Morris water maze was used to investigate the ability of learning and memory in the rats. hTe effect of Aβ and PP on the hippocampus cells was observed by HE and Congo red staining of methanol. Results: Rats in the sham-operated group had no obvious morphological change; and morphology of rats in the PP group was basicaly normal. The layer of pyramidal cells in the Aβ group was decreased. hTe cells appeared sparse and irregular and became smaller. Karyopyknosis and vacuolardegeneration cells were also found. More positive staining materials aggradated in the Aβ group compared with the PP group by Congo red staining (P<0.05). Conclusion: Aβ infusion into the hippocampus results in the impairment of the neuronal degeneration in the rats, which shows similar characterizations of AD. PP can reduce the deposition of Aβ in the hippocampus.
