Objective To investigate whether hepatocyte growth factor ( HGF ) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF1) induce cardiac stem cells (CSCs) to proliferate and directly differentiate into cardiomyocytes in vitro.Methods The myocardial tissues were dissected for primary culture of CSCs with the method of explants .The expressions of c-kit and CD34 were examined with immunofluorescence .Primary cells were purified with c-kit by flow cytometry.CFDA SE fluorescent probe was used to detect the proliferation of c-kit+CSCs.C-kit +CSCs were divided into two groups , and cardiac stem cells group and co-cultured with cardiomyocytes group , both group were cultured with HGF and IGF 1.An inverted microscope was used to observe changes in cell number and morphology in different periods .Living cells workstation was used to observe CFDA SE fluorescence intensity , to acquire images and do statistical analysis .Immunofluorescence technique was used to detect the expression of Nkx 2.5 and cardiac troponin T .Results In cardiac stem cells group ,CSCs had no obvious changes in cell number .In co-cultured with cardiomyocytes group , CSCs proliferated and had changes in morphology .Nkx2.5 and cTnT were positively expressed . Several CSCs differentiated into beating cardiomyocytes . Conclusion In co-cultured with cardiomyocytes condition , HGF and IGF1 may promote CSCs to proliferate and differentiate into beating cardiomyocytes .

Objective:To investigate the expression of Survivin and programmed cell death 5(PDCD5)protein in mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC).Methods:Survivin and PDCD5 were detected by immunohistochemical staining in 20 cases of normal parotid tis-sue(group A),40 cases of pleomorphic adenoma(group B)and 45 cases of MEC tissues(group C).Results:The positive expres-sion ratio of Survivin in group A,B and C was 10.0%,27.5% and 55.6% respectively(χ2 =14.556,P <0.01),while that of PD-CD5 was 85%,65% and 33.3% respectively (χ2 =17.439,P <0.01).The expression of survivin or PDCD5 was related with dif-ferentiation,lymph node metastasis and TNM staging of MEC.Survivin and PDCD5 showed a negative correlation in MEC(χ2 =4.500,P =0.034,γs =-0.316).Conclusion:Survivin over-expression and PDCD5 down-expression may play a role in the de-velopment and progress of mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the current state of nurse leaders′leadership and nurse physician cooperation, to explore the relationship between them, and to provide reference for improving nurse physician cooperation situation. Methods Totally 193 nurse leaders were recruited who were participated in Anhui nursing management training courses. A series of questionnaires were used to collect data, including general information, competency inventory for registered nurse, nurse physician cooperation scale. Results One hundred and eighty- two questionnaires were valid. The score of nurse managers′leadership was (27.85±6.27) points,while the score of nurse physician cooperation scale was (68.31±11.67) points. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the control of general information, leadership for the interpretation of the nurse physician cooperation level increased by 27.3% (△R2 = 0.273, P = 0.000). Conclusions Hospital managers can adopt effective strategies to raise the level of nurses' leadership, which further increases the nurse physician cooperation level.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of ultrafiltration extract from Angelica Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix on PC12 cell apoptosis induced by H2O2; To discuss its mechanism of action.Methods H2O2 was used in the incubation of PC12 cells to establish the oxidative damage nerve cell apoptosis model. The experiment was divided into normal control group, model group, and three different dosages (0.375, 0.75, 1.5 g/L) of ultra-filtration extracted from Angelica Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix after modeling for interference. Rate of cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry; mitochondrial membrane potential was measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy; the protein expressions of cleaved Caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, rates of cell apoptosis in the different dosage groups decreased significantly; membrane potential of mitochondria increased; the protein expressions of cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax decreased; the expression of Bcl-2 increased; the ratio of Bcl-2 and Bax increased (P<0.05).Conclusion The ultra-filtration extracted from Angelica Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix can inhibit PC12 cell apoptosis induced by H2O2.

AIM: To study the changes of bacterial ultrastructure, membrance potential and membrance patency of Escherichia coli during the postantibiotic effect after exposure to gatifloxacin and ciprofloxacin in order to investigate the mechanisms of PAE. METHODS: During the Postantibiotic effect after exposure to gatifloxacin and ciprofloxacin, the aliquots were taken from the bacterial culture at regular intervals. Then the fluorescence microscope was used to observe changes in bacterial ultrastructure and at the same time we studied the changes of membrance potential and membrance patency in Escherichia coli during the postantibiotic effect by flow cytometry in conjunction with fluorescent probes. RESULTS: The PAE phase characterized by filament formation after exposure to gatifloxacin by fluorescence microscopy,yet no significant changes in membrance potential and membrance patency of Escherichia coli were observed. CONCLUSION: Gatifloxacin and ciprofloxacin can induce filamentation, and this change is indifferent with membrance potential and membrance patency of Escherichia coli.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and pathogenic characteristics of community acquired pyogenic liver abscess (PLA).Methods:The clinical data of 172 patients in First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University with community acquired PLA from March 2013 to September 2018 were retrospectively collected, including clinical characteristics, distribution of the causative pathogens, treatment regimens and outcomes. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:There were 158(91.9%) cases with fever, 69(40.1%) cases with abdominal pain among 172 PLA cases. One hundred and forty-three (83.1%) were solitary, and 141(82.0%) cases localized in right hepatic lobe. One hundred and six (61.6%) cases were PLA of cryptogenic origin. There were 156 cases underwent etiology detection, with the positive etiology detection of 99(63.5%) cases. Ninety-two (92.9%) cases were infected with a single strain, and seven (7.1%) cases were infected with mixed strains. A total of 115 strains of bacteria were isolated. The main strains included 71 (61.7%) Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP), 21 (18.3%) Escherichia coli (EC), among which 17 were extended spectrum β lactamase, and two carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. Among the 61 KP-PLA patients, 42(68.9%) cases were diagnosed with diabetes, 16(26.2%) cases with biliary diseases, and one (1.6%) case with malignant tumor. Among the 15 EC-PLA patients, six cases were diagnosed with diabetes, nine cases with biliary diseases, and four cases with malignant tumors. There were statistically significant differences ( χ2=4.307, 4.784 and 8.536, respectively, all P<0.05). After admission, the patients were treated with antibiotics alone or combined with drainage. One-hundred and sixty-seven (97.1%) cases got improved. Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of PLA are atypical, and the dominant pathogens are KP and EC. The risk factors of PLA are diabetes mellitus, biliary diseases and malignant tumors.
