Neoplastic stem cells (NSCs)are the source of tumor occurrence and development,and its special microenvironment is involved in tumor drug resistance,recurrence and metastasis by regulating NSCs or changing itself. Eradicating NSCs and interfering the special microenvironment may be the new therapeutic strategies for cancer.

Objective To compare the adherent cells derived from human placenta,umbilical cord blood and bone marrow,and provide laboratory data for clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells.Methods Adherent cells were isolated from human placenta tissues by enzyme digestion,and mononuclear cells(MNC) were isolated from umbilical cord blood(UCB) by 60g/L HES and density gradient centrifugation and MNC were isolated from bone marrow(BM) by density gradient centrifugation,and then these cells were cultured in vitro.Their biological characteristics were studied and compared.Results The adherent cells cultured from human placenta and umbilical cord blood had disparate shape in vitro respectively.And they had some differences in growth and shape from those derived from bone marrow.The adherent cells derived from the three tissues all expressed CD106 and CD44 in immunohistochemistry staining.Conclusion The adherent cells derived from human placenta and umbilical cord blood have the basic features of mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective Investigation of the clearance rate of RBC in cerebral spinal fluid(CSF)after lumber subarachnoid space continuous drainage following subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)and the relationship with cerebral vasospasm(CVS) were carried out. Methods An experimental SAH was achieved in dogs by twice injecting fresh autologous arterial blood into cisterna magna of each animal.RBC counts in CSF were measured in the drainage group, puncture group and control group respectively.The degrees of CVS were analyzed through cerebral angiography(%reduction of basilar artery diameter,%RBAD). Results Comparing with puncture group and control group, the drainage group showed a significantly higher clearance rate of RBC with lesser occurrance and degree of CVS. Conclusions RBC and its degeneratives in CSF may be involed in the process of CVS following experimental SAH. Continuous lumber subarachnoid space drainage may prevent CVS.

Objective To explore our clinical experience on treatment of intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis using multiple stents placement. Methods 17 stents were deployed into 12 arteries in 8 patients with intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis. We utilized self expanding stents in extracranial carotid arteries and balloon expanding stents for intracranial arteries or vertebral arteries. Results All procedures were performed successfully and all stenoses were dilated and improved. Short term follow up angiogram revealed only one vessel occlusion and no significant restenoses in other stented vessels together with no recurence of clinical symptoms. Conclusions Multiple stents placement is a valid alternative for the treatment of intracranial and extracranial arterial stenoses.

Objective To identify objective methods for medical service performance evaluation,and means to improve the efficiency of medical services.Methods By means of collection of medical records from 10 tertiary hospitals in Yunnan in 2012,and Diagnosis-related groups of Beijing version(BJDRGs)as a risk-adjustment tool,medical service performance was made to such hospitals.Results The capacity,efficiency and medical safety of hospital of the hospitals were subject to a comprehensive evaluation of their medical service capabilities.In terms of discharged inpatients and total weight,hospital A were found to be the highest(77 458 cases,104 227.5 respectively),and hospital I the lowest(25 450 cases,38 162.28)among these hospitals in 2012; compared with other hospitals,DRG groups of hospitals A,b and D were found higher,while the case mix index(CMI)of hospitals e and I were higher.The expenditure index of hospital C is the lowest(0.9359,0.8514); the mortality in cases of low risk of hospitals B,c and D were the lowest,while hospital F was the highest.Conclusion DRGs as a risk adjustment tool,can significantly improve the reliability,science and continuity of medical service performance evaluation,providing reliable basic data for hospitals accreditation in Yunnan.

Objective To express and purify mammalian glycosylation modified trimeric Ebola virus trimeric glycoprotein (EBOV-GP) using novel glycoengineered Pichia pastoris.Methods The EBOV-GP and EBOV-GPΔMLDΔTM genes were cloned into the pPICZ-αA vector,electrochemically converted to glycoengineered Pichia pastoris,and compared with EBOV-GP expressed in HEK-293T cells.Glycosylation was analyzed by PNGaseF and EndoH digestion,while the target protein was purified by affinity chromatography and ion exchange chromatography.N-terminal sequencing was used to determine whether the signal peptide was correctly cleaved during protein translation and gel column analysis was used to find out whether the trimeric structure was formed.Results The results of PNGaseF showed that EBOV-GP expressed by glycoengineered Pichia pastoris and HEK-293T cells had the same relative molecular mass and N-glycosylation degree.EndoH digestion showed that the N-glycosylation modification of EBOV-GPΔMLDΔTM was in a non-high mannose form.N-terminal sequencing showed that the signal peptide of the GP protein itself was correctly excised.Gel column analysis showed that the purified protein was in a trimeric form.Conclusion An EBOV-GP is obtained with complex glycosylation modification based on Glycoengineered Pichia pastoris.

Objective To evaluate the application of imaging analysis system based on three-dimension computed tomography (3D-CT)for the diagnosis of femoral trochlear dysplasia.Methods Between May 2013 and January 2014,30 patients were diagnosed as recurrent patella dislocation and received surgical treatment.All the patients received 3D-CT diagnosis of the knee joints preoperatively,and the data of 3D-CT were transferred to imaging analysis system with MIMICS software that would be used to get the trochlear dysplasia index.The patients were also received knee fluoroscopic detection.A true lateral view was also used for evaluation of the trochlear dysplasia as the classic method.The difference between the two methods was compared.And the sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive value of the imaging analysis system were analyzed.Results The mean trochlear dysplasia index was 5.3 ± 1.8 mm (3.2 to 8.4 mm)using the classic fluoroscopic method,showing no significant difference from the result according to the imaging analysis system,5.2 ± 1.5 mm (3.5 to 8.1 mm).When the fluoroscopic method was set as the golden standard,the sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive value of the imaging analysis system were 89.5％,81.8％,89.4％ and 82.0％ respectively.Conclusion The imaging analysis system based on 3D-CT of knee joints could provide acceptable results without good sensitivity and specificity,without significant differences from the classic fluoroscopic method.So it is a more safer and easier approach worthy of clinical implication.
