Objective The tissue-engineered composite graft was formed with induced marrow-derived stromal cells (MSCs)and PLGA double-layer scaffold. The effectiveness of this graft for the repair of osteochondral defects in the knee of rabbits was investigated. Methods MSCs were isolated from 20 adult rabbits with density gradient centrifugation and was divided into two groups. In group A, the MSCs were cultivated with regular medium. In group B they were cultivated with chondrogenic differentiation medium. The mRNA of MSCs and articular cartilage cells were extracted, and the expression of mRNA for type Ⅰ and Ⅱ collagen was tested by RT-PCR. The distribution and compound of MSCs with PLGA double-layer scaffold was examined with scanning electron microscopy. 28 adult rabbits were divided into 3 groups, osteochondral defect of 3.5 mm in diameter and 3 to 4 mm in depth were created in the patellar groove. Group A (10 rabbits), the MSCs cultivated with regular medium was grafted into the defects. In group B (10 rabbits), the MSCs cultivated with chondrogenic differentiation medium was grafted into the defects. In group C (8 rabbits), the defects were repaired with autologous osteochondral grafts as control. Specimens were harvested at 4th, 8th, 16th and 24th week post operation respectively, histological examination was performed and graded. Results For the MSCs cultivated with regular medium, the expression of mRNA for type Ⅰ collagen was found with RT-PCR, but no expression for Ⅱ collagen was found. For the induced MSCs, the expression of mRNA both for type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ collagen were found. The adhesion and growth of MSCs on the PLGA double-layer scaffold were well visualized with scanning electron microscopy, and some cells were found in the deep porotic area. For the specimens of group B, no significant difference was found comparing with normal cartilage at 24th week, and the specimens were defined as matured hyaline-like cartilage(4/6)with histological examination, superior to those specimens of group A (1/4). Conclusion The MSCs have osteogenic and chondrogenic potentiality. Combined with PLGA double-layer scaffold, it can be served as seeded cell to form tissue-engineered composite grafts, which can be used to repair osteochondral defects in rabbit models.

In order to increase the yield and quality of the medicinal plant and enhance the competitive power of industry of medicinal plant in our country, this paper analyzed the status, problem and countermeasure of the tissue culture of medicinal plant on large scale. Although the biotechnology is one of the most efficient and promising means in production of medicinal plant, it still has problems such as stability of the material, safety of the transgenic medicinal plant and optimization of cultured condition. Establishing perfect evaluation system according to the characteristic of the medicinal plant is the key measures to assure the sustainable development of the tissue culture of medicinal plant on large scale.

Objective: To discuss the rational drug application of Kawasaki disease in children with upper respiratory tract infection in order to provide reference for the therapy of Kawasaki disease suspected of bacterial meningitis.Methods: The medical record of a 2-year-old boy with Kawasaki disease was retrospectively analyzed, and the anti-infection treatment was analyzed and evaluated.Meanwhile, the mechanism of elevated leukocyte count in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)of children with incomplete Kawasaki disease was discussed.The pharmaceutical care and treatment results in the diagnosis and treatment process were analyzed as well.Results: The anti-infective therapy in early stage was reasonable as the early symptoms of respiratory tract infection in the child were obvious, however, the choice of aztreonam was defective.On the premise of the clinical diagnosis of Kawasaki disease and excluding bacterial meningitis, the medication was timely adjusted.Finally, the symptoms of the child were improved.Conclusion: The application of anti-infection drugs should be reasonable in clinics, and the abnormality in cerebrospinal fluid should be paid more attention in children with Kawasaki disease.It is necessary to strengthen clinical observation and pharmaceutical care in order to guarantee the safety of medication for patients.

SUMMARY We analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics of one patient with Rhupus syndrome as-sociated nephropathy in Peking University People ’s Hospital, and reviewed the related literature .The pa-tient was a middle aged female .She developed rheumatoid arthritis first , and then manifested mild sys-temic lupus erythematosus together with positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies ( ANCA ) and cryoglobulinemia several years later .The renal biopsy was performed and manifested as lupus nephritis . The transmission electron microscopy revealed cryoglobulinemia associated renal damage .This report shows that the clinicopathological characteristics in patients with Rhupus syndrome associated nephropathy are complicated .The renal pathology can be used as a diagnostic tool .

Objective:To analyze the clinical and imaging characteristics of acute necrotic encephalopathy (ANE) in a child with human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) infection.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data and imaging features of a case of HHV-6 related ANE from Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in March 2019.Results:The one year and seven month-old child had acute encephalopathy, recurrent convulsions, consciousness disorders, elevated serum transaminase. The number of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cells was normal and the protein increased. High throughput gene testing of CSF showed HHV-6. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple symmetry damage in the bilateral thalamus, brainstem, and cerebellum. The symptoms improved after the treatment of glucocorticoids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasmapheresis.Conclusions:ANE is a rare severe encephalopathy, the characteristic imaging change of which is symmetry multifocal cerebral damage, especially in the bilateral thalamus. ANE should be considered for patients with frequent convulsions and disturbance of consciousness after virus infection.
