The differentiation of stem cells into target cells in a particular region is an important prerequisite for the organ construction and tissue engineering. The processes are multi-directionally regulated by the surface properties of biomaterials, and among them the influences of mechanical rigidity and surface morphology of biomaterials on morphological characteristics, focal adhesion assemblies, and cytoskeletal structure of cells are considered to be the most important factors in regulating the differentiation of stem cells into specific cell lineages. This review summarizes the progresses on this topic in the past few years, which may provide a reference to the design of the biomaterials in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

OBJECTIVE:To promote the drug use in a legal way.METHODS:The legal issues were analyzed,which included standardization of specially administrated drugs,exchange or replacement of prescribed drugs,usage and dosage of prescribed drugs,informed consent of patients,etc.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:There still exist problems in clinical drug use,the relevant laws and regulations should be further standardized and identified.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of selenium chitosan on differentiation of HL60 cells and its relationship with the c-myc and c-fos protein expression of cells. METHODS:HL60 cells were divided into 5 groups,i.e. 25 mg?L-1 selenium chitosan group,50 mg?L-1 selenium chitosan group,100 mg?L-1 selenium chitosan group,blank control group and positive control group (dimethy sulfoxide). The differentiation of HL60 cells was measured by NBT-reduced method after administration and amount of positive cells was detected. FCM was used to examine the c-myc and c-fos protein expression of cells. RESULTS:As compared with blank control group,differentiation effect of selenium chitosan groups were similar to that of positive control group; NBT-reduced positive cells were increased while c-myc protein expression of cells was decreased(P

Apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death,is a normal process contributing to tissue tumor during development and in the adult.During development apoptosis is involved in tissue homeostasis and eliminating nonfunctional,superfluous or harmful cells.It is an active process controlled by some gene and factors such as caspases, bcl-2, Fas/FasL and NO.Type 1 diabetes mellitus is regarded as a chronic autoimmune disease resulting from progressive destruction of insulin-producing ?-cells in the pancreas.The relationship between apoptosis with its modulation and type 1 diabetes mellitus was reviwed.

Objective To explore the methods of improving the immune function of dendritic cells(DCs) from patients with chronic type B hepatitis in vitro. Methods Monocytes from type B hepatitis patients and healthy controls were incubated with GMCSF and IL-4 and IFN-? to induce dendritic cells(DCs) generation.Then the nutrien-concentration sodium selenite was added for co-culture before the maturity of DCs.The samples were separated into three groups: hepatitis-B patients (group A),hepatitis-B patients with Se(group B),healthy control(group C).The phenotypes of DCs including CD80,CD86 were characterized by flow cytometry(FCM) and the response of allogeneic lymphocytes was detected by MTT assay.The concentration of cytokines in the supernatant such as IL-12 was tested by ELISA assay. Results After the nutrien-concentration Se was added for co-culture,the proliferation ability of isotype xenoma lymphocyte stimulated by DCs was obviously streng thened compared with group A,and the excretion level of IL-12 also increased(P

OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between the change in Toll-like receptor expression and prognosis of severe viral hapatitsis.METHODS The peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated and the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA was observed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The level of serum endotoxin was measured by chromogenic substrate Limulus amebocyte lysate assay.The data were analyzed by SPSS 11.5 software.RESULTS The expression of TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA and the level of serum endotoxin of death group before therapy were lightly higher than that of survival group,but after therapy that of death group is higher than survival group(P

This study was aimed to investigate potential biomarkers in different traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of angina pectoris of coronary heart disease (CHD) by using metabolomic technology,and to explore the objective law of different TCM syndromes of CHD.Endogenous metabolites in serum and urine from the healthy group,and patients with DHD angina pectoris patients of the syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis,as well as the syndrome of Qi deficiency,blood stasis and phlegm turbidity were detected by the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).Metabolic profiles were analyzed by the principal component analysis (PCA) and the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA).The results showed that in PCA,the healthy group,Qi deficiency and blood stasis group,as well as the Qi deficiency,blood stasis and phlegm turbidity group can be obviously distinguished.Potential biomarkers in the Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome contained aspartyl methionine and cysteine sulfinic acid.Potential biomarkers in the Qi deficiency,blood stasis and phlegm turbidity syndrome contained hippuric acid,amino glucose,fructosamine and triglyceride.The objective performance of Qi deficiency syndrome was the absence of biotin,lysyl tyrosine,phosphatidylglycerol and glycocholic acid.It was concluded that through the new metabolomic technology,different endogenous metabolites in the syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis,as well as the syndrome of Qi deficiency,blood stasis and phlegm turbidity of patients with DHD angina pectoris were detected.It provided ideas for the clinical practice of prevention,diagnosis and treatment of different TCM syndromes.

Clinic genetic testing have make rapid progress in recent years , and have been widely applicated in genetic disease diagnosis , infection disease diagnosis and personalized treatment .The aim of this article is to pay attention to the ethical issues raised by genetic testing .The important ethical problems are proposed accompany with prenatal , adolescent, and adult genetic testing respectively .We should adopt responsible best ethical practices in the provision of genetic testing , promote the widely application of gene detection in clinic orderly.

Objective To investigate the effect of ectopic pregnancy tubal resection or common disease retention on female reproductive endocrine and menstrual traits.Methods 286 patients with ectopic pregnancy lapa-roscopic operation were selected.According to the different treatment methods,the patients were divided into resection group (n =199),retention group 87 cases,in surgical operation on the third day and the thirtieth day and tested for female reproductive hormone (P,LH,FSH,E2 )and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).Results Resection group in the third day after surgery of FSH[(8.5 ±4.9)IU /mL]was significantly higher than that of preserving group[(3.9 ± 0.9)IU /mL],with significant difference (t =5.44,P <0.05),the amounts of LH,E2 ,P and HCG were insignificant (t =0.56,1.24,0.82,all P >0.05).30 days after the surgery,there was no significant difference between the two groups in FSH,LH,E2 ,P and HCG (t =0.92,0.77,1.02,0.65,all P >0.05),but at the age of more than 40 years old and bilateral absence of fallopian tube in patients with,menorrhagia and menstrual cycle change obviously,and female ovarian endocrine function to reduce the clinical symptoms.Conclusion Tube resection has some influence on the ovarian function of tubal ectopic pregnancy,especially older,lack of bilateral fallopian tube.

With the development of medicine and health,the experts who have a good command of medicine and law are in great social need,so the major of medical law was introduced.This article,based on the experience and construction of medical law major in Kunming Medical College,put forward that the major of medical law must establish the cultivation goals curriculum system and projects of internship.It emphasizes the approaches to improving the students' knowledge of Arts and comprehensive abilities.
