Schwann cells (SCs) have potently neuroprotective and myelinization abilities. They are one of the earliest and the most frequently used cells that are applied to therapeutic studies in spinal cord injury. At present, SCs are usually used as a platform for therapeutic alliance to integrate various interventions. This review will mainly discuss the issues met in therapeutic alliances with SCs for spinal cord injuries, results of various therapeutic alliances with SCs, positive effects of co-transplantation with SCs on neural stem cells, survival, migration of SCs after transplantation and roles of endogenetic SCs in repairing spinal cord injury.

Objective To observe the effect of Yishen Paizhuo Decoction(Decoction for reinforcing the kidney and discharging the turbid)on chronic renal failure(CRF)patients.Methods The 82 CRF patients were randomized into observation group(42 cases) and control group(40 cases).In addition to the routine treatment,the observation group was administered modified Yishen Paizbuo Decoction,and the control group was given coated aldehyde oxystarch.The course of treatment was 6 months for both groups. Changes of clinical symptoms,renal functions,blood fat,and hemoglobin were observed,and the linear regression evaluation and renal survival evaluation were employed to evaluate the development of CRF.Results The improvement of observation group in renal func- tions and blood fat was remarkable with the increased renal survival rate,compared with the control group,the difference was signifi- cant(P

Objective To explore the relationship of the ADAM33 gene Q-1,T2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Xinjiang Kazakh and Han population. Methods Peripheral blood samples to extract DNA, and the single nucleotide polymorphisms of Q-1 and T2 in ADAM33 gene were detected by SNaPshot SNP genotyping. Results Case group compared with the control group, frequencies of Q-1 locus genotypes and alleles were significant differences in Kazak (P<0.05). In patient group, there were significant differences in ADAM33 gene Q-1 locus genotypes FEV1% predicted, FEV1/FVC of clinical indicators lung function in Kazak, Han(P < 0.05). Kazak Q-1 locus AA genotype,Han GA genotype than GG genotype were significant difference.Compare Kazak AA genotype,Han GA genotype with GG genotype is more likely to cause COPD in Q-1 locus(P<0.05). In the comparison of the case and control group the two ethnic, there was no significant difference between the frequencies of T2 locus genotypes and the frequencies of Q-1,T2 the alleles (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in T2 locus genotypes and clinical indicators of lung function FEV1% predicted and FEV1/FVC in patient group (P > 0.05). Conclusion The ADAM33 gene Q-1 locus may be related to the COPD susceptibility in Xinjiang Kazak, Han.

Dermatology and venerology is a clinical discipline characterized by morphology.With the development of the internet and the application of internet in education,the features and advantages of internet teaching are gradually recognized including high flexibility,rich information and good student-teacher interaction.This article focused on the establishment and practice of internet teaching to improve teaching quality.

Immortalized human precartilaginous stem cells (IPSCs) were established to provide stable cell resource for the study of the molecular mechanism of gene targeting on the differentiation of PSCs. Plasmid pCMVSV40T/PUR containing simian virus 40 large T antigen gene (SV40Tag) was transfected into human PSCs by using lipofectin transfection. Colonies were isolated by puromycin selection and expanded by multiple passages. Immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Southern blotting were used to identify the transfected cells and to detect the expression and integration of SV40Tag in expanded cell lines. The positive colonies were isolated and subcultured, designated immortalized precartilaginous stem cells (IPSCs), which were confirmed as fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR-3) positive cells by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. SV40Tag cDNA was found in cultured IPSCs of passage 8 by Southern blotting, and the expressions of SV40Tag mRNA and protein were confirmed by RT-PCR. These findings suggested that IPSCs strain with SV40Tag was constructed successfully.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of topical tranexamic acid (TXA) plus cocktail analgesic for reducing blood loss during total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods A prospective case control study was made on 60 patients scheduled to undergo TKA because of knee injuries between August 2015 to June 2016.There were 13 males and 47 females,with the mean age of 65.5 years (range,51-80 years).Traumatic arthritis occurred in 44 patients and degenerative arthritis in 16 patients.The patients were assigned to separate cocktail analgesic group (Group A,n =30) and topical TXA plus cocktail analgesic group(Group B,n =30),according to the random number table.Patients in Group A received multiple-point intra-articular cocktail analgesic injection before implantation of the prosthesis in TKA.While patients in Group B received multiple-point intra-articular TXA plus cocktail analgesic injection before implantation of the prosthesis.Between-group differences were compared with respect to intraoperative blood loss,hemoglobin change (Hb),haematocrit (Hct),postoperative drainage,total blood loss,hidden blood loss,blood transfusion rate,Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score,incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and other complications.Results All patients were followed up for 3 months.Perioperative Hb reduction in Group B was 18.5 (13.0,26.0) g/L,less than 23.0 (21.0,35.5) g/L in Group A (P ＜ 0.05).Hct was reduced by 5.6 (4.1,7.8) ％ in Group B,while 7.2 (6.1,10.7) ％ in Group A (P ＜ 0.05).Postoperative drainage volume,total blood loss and occult blood loss in Group B were 105.0(60.0,223.8) ml,596.0(426.1,795.3) ml,422.3 (228.9,624.0) ml respectively,decreased compared to Group A [162.5 (118.8,245.0) ml,788.3 (583.0,1 082.4) ml,603.2 (435.2,884.7)ml respectively] (P ＜0.05).There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss,blood transfusion rate,HSS score and DVT incidence between the two groups (P ＞0.05).Conclusion Topical TXA plus cocktail analgesic can reduce blood loss during perioperative period in TKA,without increasing the risk of DVT.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of miRNA in kidney biopsies of child patients with nephrotic syndrome and the possibility of miRNA as potential markers in differentiating the pathologic subtypes of nephrosis.Methods Kidney biopsy specimens from 41 child patients with nephrotic syndrome,including 22 with nesangial proliferative glomeplonephritis (MsPGN),8 with minimal change disease (MCD) and 11 with endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (ECPGN),were collected,and adult nephridial tissues from 8 patients without renal inadequacy were selected as controls.The expression levels of miR-191,miR-151-3p,miR-150,miR-30a-5p and miR-19b in nephridial tissues were detected by RT-qPCR,and their correlations with renal function related parameters were analyzed.Results Compared with the controls,the miR-191 levels in kidney tissues of child patients with nephrotic syndrome increased significantly (P ＜ 0.01),while the miR-151-3p levels decreased obviously (P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of miR-150 in MCD patients were significantly lower than those in MsPGN and ECPGN patients and the controls (P ＜ 0.05).The expression levels of these miRNAs were positively correlated with serum IgG,TP and Cr levels,but negatively with serum TC levels (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of miRNA in kidney tissues of child patients with nephrotic syndrome are related to pathological typing of nephrosis,and miR-150 may be a potential marker which may differentiate MCD from other subtypes of nephrosis.

In 2013 Shanghai took the lead to carry out the specialist standardized training which is common in the international medical education. This paper first gives a picture of the general condition of the standardized training on specialists of obstetrics and gynecology in Shanghai. Then from the perspectives of strategic deployment, department management, clinical skill training and the training of examiners, the paper explores the assessment model in which both the assessment of train-ing process and the scores of the final examination are considered whereas the process assessment is given more weight. This paper is aimed to provide experience and suggestions for the further advance of the specialists standardized training in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
