AIM: We tested the hypothesis that marrow s tr omal cells (MSCs), when implanted into self-myocardium, can undergo milieu-depen dent differentiation, express cardiomyogenic phenotypes and enhance angiogenesis and cardiac function of ischemic hearts in vivo. METHODS: In order to achieve a safe and persistent effect, we ex plored the potential of autologous MSCs transplantation. One week after myo cardial infarction induced by occlusion of left anterior descending artery, auto logous MSCs labeled with BrdU (bromodeoxyuridine) in vitro was administered intramyocardially into the infarct area of the same donor rabbits. RESULTS: By 1 months, transplanted MSCs demonstrated to be myoge nic differentiation with the expression of ?-sarcomeric actin (5C5). MSCs impla ntation significantly increased vascular density in the infarct zone and resulte d in markedly improved the left ventricular contractility. CONCLUSION: The finding indicates that autologous MSCs transplan tation may represent a promising therapeutic strategy with free of ethical conce rns and immune rejection.

Objective To explore the correlation of serum HBV-DNA load,transaminase(ALT)and total bile acid (TBA)levels with hepatitis B virus (HBV)infection patterns to assess HBV infectivity.Methods The fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect serum HBV-DNA in 308 patients with HBV infection.ELISA was adopted to detect the HBV markers.The continuous mo-nitoring method was adopted to detect serum ALT and the cycling enzymatic method was adopted to detect serum TBA.Results The HBV-DNA content and serum ALT level had staitstical differences among the 3 infection patterns of HBsAb,HBeAg and HB-cAb positive,HBsAg,HBsAb,and HBcAb positive and 1,5 positive (P <0.05),the partial patients with HBeAg negative had the active HBV replication in vivo;HBV-DNA copy number in the patients with HBeAg negative was positively correlated with ALT level (P <0.05).Serum TBA level had no statistical difference among three knds of HBV infection patterns (P >0.05).Conclusion Serum HBV-DNA content and ALT activity have the correlation with the different HBV infection patterns,which could reflect the HBV replication and the infectivity intensity in some extent.

Objective To explore the difference of the risk factors among the rural residents with hypertension with different social economic levels.Methods Risk factors survey were conducted in 469 new cases with hypertension(aged over 35) with different economic-social levels in Jizhou city,Hebei province using self-made questionnaire,2799 people(aged over 35) as the controls.The results were analyzed with Logistic regression analysis.Results OR of the risk factors in higher economic level group were:family history of hypertension(2.863),body mass index(BMI,1.286),preserved foods(1.263),the amount of eggs taken daily(1.200) and the ages of the patients(1.052).The OR of risk factors in lower economic levels' group were:family history of hypertension(3.990),smoking(1.767),the amount of eggs taken daily(1.753),drinking(1.728),education background(1.532),sex(1.448),daily amount of meat intake(1.276),BMI(1.205) and the age of the patients(1.068).The higher annual income of the family and the amount of fresh fruits intake daily were the protective factors of hypertension with the OR were 0.708 and 0.788 respectively.Conclusion The results show that the patients at different economic levels have different risk factors of hypertension.

Objective To investigate the effects of resuscitation with limited fluid on rabbits with uncon-trolled hemordaagic shock. Method Uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock was produced in 40 rabbits. When the mean arterial pressure dropped to 40 manI-Ig and maintained for 30 minutes, resuscitation was initiated with Ringer solu-tion infusion into rabbits in large volume for group N3 (125 mL/kg) ,moderate volume for group N2 (92 mL/kg) and small amount for group N1 (57 mL/kg), and a drop of fluid was not given to rabbits of group N4. Besides, rob-bits of group N5 were controls without shock. MAP, fatality, volume of blood loss, SOD and Her were observed for 120 minutes or until death. Data were analyzed using SNK-q test and rank test. Results MAP, SOD and Het were higher, and fatality and blood loss were lower in group N5 than those in groups N1, N2,and N3 (P<0.01 ). MAP,fatality,blood loss and Het of group N4 were worse than those of groups N1,N2 and N3 (P<0.01). The blood loss and fatality in group N3 were significantly higher than those in groups N1 and N2 (P<0.01 ). SOD of kidney in group N3 was significantly lower than that in group N1 and N2(P<0.01). As the volume of fluid in-creased during resuscitation, Het of all animals was gradually becoming lower. As MAPS in groups N2, N3 and N4 were gradually becoming lower and lower, death increased. Conclusions Limited fluid resuscitation (57～92mL/kg) should be recommended to the therapeutic strategy for uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a profoundly dangerous,potentially lethal,immunologically mediated adverse drug reaction to unfractionated heparin or low-molecular weight heparin.Clinical vigilance of this disease process is important to ensure its recognition,diagnosis,and treatment.Misdiagnosis of the syndrome,as well as misunderstanding of the disease process,continues to contribute to its morbidity and mortality.In this comprehensive review,the authors highlight heparin-induced thrombocytopenia's clinical presentation,diagnostic principles,and treatment.

Bring your own device (BYOD) has become popular as it empowers medical practitioners to use their own devices for communication,mobile rounds,real-time EMR query,selflearning and auxiliary diagnosis.Based on implementation experiences of BYOD at home and overseas healthcare institutions,this paper recommended domestic institutions on BYOD planning and deployment as follows:restructuring of their wireless networks and access control;better device supervision;open BYOD portal;and protection of both staff privacy and data security.This effort provides insights for BYOD development in China's healthcare institutions.

Methods The concentration of serum OPG in 40 patients was determined by ELISA. The data of ECT bone scan and Gleason score was collected simultaneously. The correlations between serum OPG and bone metastases, Gleason score were tested. Results The concentration of serum OPG in patients with bone metastases by ECT scan was( 16 237. 19 ±5144. 26) ng/L,which was significantly higher than the concentration in patients without bone metastases , which was (12 123.32 ±4136. 50)ng/L. There was no significant correlation between serum OPG and Gleason score. Conclusions The serum OPG has an important clinical value in prediction of prostate cancer with bone metastases. There is no significant correlation between serum OPG and the Gleason score.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen combined with flupentixol and melitracen on depres-sion improvement,extremity motor function and ability of daily living and activity in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD). METHODS:60 PSD patients were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 30 cases in each group. Both groups received routine clinical treatment,comprehensive rehabilitation therapy and psychotherapy. The control group was additionally given Flupentixol and melitracen tablets,orally,one tablet each time,in the morning;3 days later, one tablet each time,in the morning and noon,for 4 weeks. Other anti-depressive agents were not given during treatment. Observa-tion group was additionally given hyperbaric oxygen,0.12 MPa,for 90 min,qd,5 times a week,for 4 weeks,on the basis of control group. Depression degree [Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) and Self-rating depression scale(SDS)],extremity motor function [Fugl-Mayer motor function assessment (FMA)] and ability of daily living and activity [modified Barthel index (MBI)] were scored in 2 groups before and after treatment,and ADR was observed. RESULTS:After 4 weeks of treatment,HAMD and SDS of 2 groups were decreased significantly compared to before treatment,while FMA and MBI were increased significantly;the improvement of observation group was significantly better than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No ob-vious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Hyperbaric oxygen combined with flupentixol and melitracen can effectively improve PSD,relieve negative emotion and improve extremity motor function and ability of daily living and activity.
