BACKGROUND:Because chondrocytes have no regeneration ability, to select suitable seed cels is the primary problem to repair cartilage defects.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of alogeneicversus heterologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (BMSCs) in repairing laryngeal cartilage defects after chondrogenic induction.
METHODS:BMSCs from human and rabbits were isolated and cultured. Passage 3 cels were cultured in chondrogenic induction medium containing transforming transforming growth factor beta 1 and bone morphogenetic protein, and then were dropped onto a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold. Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned into three groups: blank control group, human BMSCs group, rabbit BMSCs group. Animal models of laryngeal cartilage defects were made in the three groups. After modeling, saline-soaked PLGA scaffold, PLAG scaffold with human BMSCs or with rabbit BMSCs were implanted respectively into the rabbits in the normal blank, human BMSCs and rabbit BMSCs groups. The expression of type II colagen in the larynx and its surrounding tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry at 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The animals in each group breathed normaly with no presence of wheezing, and their eating and activity were good. Moreover, there was no purulency or infection in the three groups. At 4 and 8 weeks after operation, the positive rates of type II colagen in the two BMSCs groups were significantly higher than that in the blank control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between two BMSCs groups (P > 0.05). These results show that both alogeneic and heterologous BMSCs have good therapeutic effects on the repair of laryngeal cartilage defects in rabbits.

Objective To investigate the incidence of adult epilepsy patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the characteristics of ADHD subtypes, and to explore the correlations between several epilepsy-related factors with ADHD.Methods According to corresponding inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, 156 adult epilepsy patients who visited to Neurology Clinic of Zhejiang Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from March 2014 to October 2014 were enrolled as a study group to enter this test.Eighty-six nomal adults were enrolled as the control group who matched for the age, gender, inteligence quotient with the study group.Using the chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis and the other statistical methods to analyze the phenomenon of ADHD in adults with epilepsy and the factors that may contribute to the phenomenon.Results The detection rate of ADHD in 156 adult patients with epilepsy was 26.9％ (42/156), significantly higher than that in the heathly control group which was 4.7％ (4/86, x2 =17.862, P ＜ 0.05).Symptomatic epilepsy and the electroencephalogram showed multifocal discharge had higher detection rate of comorbid ADHD and the difference was statistically significant (The detection rate of idiophathic epilepsy was 22.1％ (21/95), symptomatic epilepsy was 46.7％ (14/30), cryptogenic epilepsy was 22.6％ (7/31), x2 =7.362, P =0.025.The detection rate of frontal epileptiform discharges was 30.6％ (11/36), temporal area was 25.9％ (14/54), central area was 18.2％ (4/22), multifocal epileptiform discharges was 46.2％ (12/26), the normal was 1/18, x2 =10.187, P =0.037).The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that epilepsy age of onset (B =-0.889, P =0.049) was possibly an important factor for epilepsy with ADHD.Conclusions The risk of ADHD occurred in adults with epilepsy is higher than that in the healthy adults and attention-deficit is the common subtype.The etiology, age of onset and electroencephalogram features of adults with epilepsy may be associated with the occurrence of ADHD.

Taking the application of integration teaching in neurology curriculum as an example, by analyzing the Harvard Medical School , the University of Toronto School of Medicine and the Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine on the course curriculum, the issues related to neurology curriculum integration has been explored. The results show that the integration of teaching mode reflects the two major characteristics of multi discipline integration, clinical and basic integration, and it emphasizes the organ system as the center, the problem based learning (problem-based learning, PBL), Problem-Based Learn-ing, Case-based Learning and other teaching methods will play an important role in the medical educa-tion reform in the important position.

Objective To discuss the risk factors for cardiac complications in infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs).Methods One hundred and seventy-one out of 228 IDMs hospitalized in Department of Pediatrics,Shenzhen Hospital of Peking University from Jan.2011 to Apr.2014,were involved,among them,there were 171 cases who had the complete mother's data during pregnancy,and they were received B ultrasonography whin 1 week after birth.All the infants were divided into 2 groups according to echocardiography within 1 week after birth:the observation group (the patients had cardiac complications) and the control group (the patients had normal heart).Conditions of IDMs and their mothers between the 2 groups were recorded and compared.Results In the 171 IDMs,there were 69 cases(38male and 31 female) in the observation group and 102 cases(59 males and 43 females) in the control group.There were 24 preterm infants,16 large for gestational age(LGA) infants in the observation group,while 47 preterm infants and 15 LGA in the control group,and which had no statistical difference between the both groups(x2 =0.129,2.163,1.995 ; all P ＞ 0.05).In the observation group,there were 7 (4.1％) newborns with hypoglycemia,24 (14.0％) women with advanced maternal age,24(14.0％) women with other gestational complications,19(11.1％) women having good control of their glucose serum levels,and 9(5.3％) women with impaired glucose tolerance.All the mentioned factors had statistical differences when compared with the control group[1 (0.6％) case,19 (11.1％) cases,15 (8.8％) cases,80(66.8％) cases,26(15.2％) cases] (x2 =7.752,5.707,9.423,43.735,3.917 ;all P ＜ 0.05,0.01).Logistic regression showed that women with other gestational complications as risk factors(OR =3.29,95％ CI 1.248-8.671),while having a good control of the glucose serum levels acted as a protectable factor(OR =0.098,95％ CI 0.045-0.217).Conclusions IDMs are prone to have cardiac complications if their mothers couldn't control the glucose serum levels during pregnancy,with other gestational complication and advanced maternal age and with more serious diabetes.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small endogenous RNAs, which handle post-transcriptional gene regulation activity through targeting messenger RNAs.As the deep understanding of them, miRNAs had been found to participate in numerous basic biological processes, including the normal growth process of tissues and organs ,as well as the pathologic course of diseases.Different miRNAs may be involved in different tissues and organs, the same miRNA may have different expression in various physiological process or stages of pathological conditions.Now, the recent studies about the miRNAs in the lung development and pulmonary diseases were reviewed.

Objective:To evaluate the influence of cervical collar height on the compressive strength of CAD/CAMzirconia-ceramic restoration.Methods:Zirconia cores were manufactured and divided into 5 groups (n =1 0)based on the cervical collar height(mm):0.0(A),1 .0(B),1 .5(C),2.0(D)and 2.5(E).After veneered with porcelain,all the samples were cemented on the metal tooth analog and then mounted in an universal test machine.The force was applied at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until catastrophic fail-ure occurred.Fracture loads and failure modes were recorded.Results:Mean of the fracture strength values(kN)in group A,B,C, D and E were 0.95 ±0.39,1 .29 ±0.50,1 .54 ±0.28,2.04 ±0.1 9 and 2.27 ±0.53 respectively(among groups,P <0.05).Two types of fracture modes were observed:chipping of the veneering porcelain and fracture of the veneering porcelain together with the framework.Conclusion:Zirconia coping design with 1 .5 mm cervical collar height may increase the compressive strength of CAD/CAMzirconia-ceramic restoration.
