BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into myocardial cells in vitro and in vivo, but the amount is small and directed differentiation rate is low.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of stem cell factor (SCF) on promotion of MSCs differentiating into myocardial cells.DESIGN: Opening experiment.SETTING: Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, Xianning College and Department of Cardiology, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed at the Experimental Center of Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, Xianning College from October 2003to August 2004. A total of 20 infant SD rats aged 1-2 days were selected for culture of myocardial cells. Another 25 clean adult SD rats were selected and randomly divided into SCF group, blank control group with 12 rats in each group. The left one rat was used for MSCs extraction, culture and purification.METHODS: ①MSCs were labeled with 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole,dihydrochloride (DAPI) before co-culture. SCF was given into rats of the SCF group by subcutaneous injection successively for 5 days, 20 μg/kg per day. Isolated MSCs were co-cultured with myocardial cells that had been cultured for 3 days. Saline of the same volume was given in the blank control group by subcutaneous injection. MSCs without any intervention were co-cultured with myocardial cells that had been cultured for 3 days.②Expressions of MHC α/β and troponin T were recorded and measured with digital micro-camera shot and immunofluorescence technique, respectively. Percentage of DAPI labeled MSCs differentiating into myocardial cells was measured.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Growth of MSCs, ②detection of labeling rate of DAPI on MSCs, ③analysis of activity and purity of co-cultured myocardial cells, and ④differentiation of MSCs into myocardial cells after co-culture.RESULTS: ①Bone marrow cell suspension was inoculated in plastic petri dish. Round cells scattered at the bottom of bottle. At hour 24 a few long fusiform shape adhered cells appeared following liquor change, and at day 4 many fusiform shape adhered cells appeared, which entered logarithm increased period. At days 8-12 80% were confluence. The proliferation of passage cells was more rapid. With liquor change and passage, the MSCs were purified gradually. ②Labeling rate of DAPI on MSCs was 100%. ③At 3-day in vitro culture of myocardial cells the percentage of beat cells was 63%, with beat frequency of 40-60 times per minute. Percentage of positive cells of troponin T expression was 75% examined with immunocytochemical technique. ④At co-cultured days 2 and 3, positive percentage of DAPI labeled MSCs expressing MHC α/β was significantly higher in the SCF group than in the blank control group (P < 0.01). At the co-cultured days 3, 4 and 5, positive percentage of DAPI labeled MSCs expressing troponin T was obviously higher in the SCF group than in the blank control group (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: SCF has markedly accelerating effect on proliferation and differentiation of MSCs.

AIM:To investigate the effect of pretreatment of stem cell factor(SCF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) on the proliferation and the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) into cardiomyogenic cells.METHODS:The MSCs,isolated primarily from bone marrow,and purified by passage culture,were obtained from the adult rats of four groups:the rats were pretreated by 5 daily injections of SCF;the rats were pretreated with G-CSF;the rats were pretreated with SCF and G-CSF;the rats were treated without any intervention.The 4th passage of MSCs was labeled by DAPI and cellular cycle analysis was conducted by flow cytometry before co-culture.The neonatal rat cardiomyocytes cultured for 3 days were co-cultured with DAPI-MSCs.The percentage of the differentiation of MSCs into cardiomyogenic cells during the five co-culture days was analyzed.The morphologic changes of MSCs and the proteins expression of cardiac myosin heavy chain(MHC) and troponin T(TnT) were recorded respectively with digital microscope camera system and immunofluorescence technique.The percentage of the differentiation of MSCs into cardiomyogenic cells was also calculated.RESULTS:The percentage of MSCs in G0/G1 phase in SCF/G-CSF group was significantly lower than that in SCF group,G-CSF group and the control group.The percentage of MHC protein-positive MSCs in SCF/G-CSF group was markedly higher than that in SCF group,G-CSF group and the control group,and that in SCF group and G-CSF group was significantly higher than control group.The percentage of TnT protein-positive MSCs in SCF/G-CSF group,SCF group and G-CSF group was significantly higher than that in control group.CONCLUSION:SCF and G-CSF show the ability to stimulate the proliferation of MSCs and induce MSCs to differentiate into cardiomyocytes.The combination of using SCF and G-CSF is more effective than using only SCF or G-CSF.

Objective To study the X ray and CT findings of pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in AIDS. Methods Five AIDS patients who had chest abnormalities were analyzed. Results Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia appeared as diffuse infiltrative and interstitial fine nodules. Conclusion If the diffuse and infiltrative interstitial fine nodule are the appearances in patients with AIDS, the pneumocystis carinii pneumonia should be considered.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2019;35(19):1466-1469
Objective:
To analyze the application effect of water circulation blanket combined with warming flushing fluid in patients with percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
Methods:
A total of 86 patients with percutaneous nephrolithotomy who underwent surgery from January 2015 to August 2018 were enrolled in Gaochun People's Hospital of Nanjing. The prospective study was used and the patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group for 43 patients in each group. The control group used conventional heat preservation measures and warming flushing fluid, and the treatment group used water circulation blanket combined with warming flushing fluid. The stress response, coagulation function, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.
Results:
The body temperature, mean arterial pressure and heart rate of the treatment group 1 hour after surgery were (37.04±0.30) °C, (94.12±8.24) mmHg, (82.06±7.82) times/min, respectively, after the completion of the operation, the indexes were (36.97±0.40) °C, (95.36±8.15) mmHg, and (82.78±8.21) times/min. The control group 1 hour after surgery indexes was (36.74±0.36) °C, (90.12±8.21) mmHg, (85.78±8.32) times/min, after the completion of the operation, the indexes were (35.76±0.42) °C, (90.42±6.54) mmHg, and (90.32±7.43) times/min. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (

OBJECTIVETo study the early X-ray and CT findings of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
METHODSChest radiography and CT were performed in 28 patients with SARS within one to three days after onset of the disease. CT examinations included conventional spiral CT and high-resolution CT (HRCT). The radiographic and CT findings of these patients were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTSAbnormal CT findings were noted in all the patients, but abnormal chest radiographic findings in 17 cases (60.7%, 17/28). CT showed single small focal patchy opacities in 23 patients (82.1%, 23/28), including oval ground-glass opacities in 20 patients, lobular distribution ground-glass opacities in 2 and small patchy consolidation in one. Multi-focal ground-glass opacities were found in 2 patients and extensive opacities in three. In the 28 patients, a total of 31 lesions were found in the upper (7, 22.6%), middle (3, 9.7%), and lower lobes (21, 67.7%). The diameter of the lesions ranged from 20 to 35 mm.
CONCLUSIONThe dominant feature of early SARS patients is focal patchy opacity in the lung, and oval small ground-glass opacities are the common morphological findings on CT.
