Objective:To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intra-articular in-jection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.Methods:The relevant literatures published in both English and Chinese were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, Wanfang database, China Knowledge Network (CNKI), SinoMed database and other data-bases from inception to May 2020. Two researchers independently extracted data and evaluated the included literature. Risk assessment of literature bias was carried out. RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta analysis, and the combined sensitivity were calculated.Results:Finally, 13 references were included, including a total of 726 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the HA group, the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteopathic Index Total Score (WOMAC) [ MD=-10.92, 95% CI (-16.87, -4.96), P<0.01], the visual analogue scale (VAS) score [ MD=-1.70, 95% CI(-2.44, -0.95), P<0.01], and the knee joint Lequesne index score of MSCs group all decreased significantly [ MD=-13.78, 95% CI (-15.03,-12.52), P<0.01]. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events (AEs) between the two groups [ RR=1.11, 95% CI(0.90, 1.37), P=0.33]. However, American Knee Association Score (AKS score) [ MD=-10.15, 95% CI(-22.33, 2.03), P=0.10] and whole-organ magnetic resonance imaging score (WORMS) [ MD=-3.93, 95% CI(-11.60, 3.75), P=0.32] were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with intra-articular injection of HA, intra-articular injection of MSCs can significantly improve the symptoms and dysfunction, and has favorable clinical tolerability and safety, suggesting that MSCs is expected to bea new treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

OBJECTIVESince glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common hereditary hemolytic erythrocyte enzyme deficiency, most cases have single nucleotide mutations in the coding region, and current test methods for gene mutation have some missed detections, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility of RT-PCR sequencing in the detection of gene mutation in G6PD deficiency.
METHODSAccording to the G6PD/6GPD ratio, 195 children with anemia of unknown cause or who underwent physical examination between August 2013 and July 2014 were classified into G6PD-deficiency group with 130 children (G6PD/6GPD ratio <1.00) and control group with 65 children (G6PD/6GPD ratio≥1.00). The primer design and PCR amplification conditions were optimized, and RT-PCR sequencing was used to analyze the complete coding sequence and verify the genomic DNA sequence in the two groups.
RESULTSIn the G6PD-deficiency group, the detection rate of gene mutation was 100% and 13 missense mutations were detected, including one new mutation. In the control group, no missense mutation was detected in 28 boys; 13 heterozygous missense mutations, 1 homozygous same-sense mutation (C1191T) which had not been reported in China and abroad, and 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms of C1311T were detected in 37 girls. The control group showed a high rate of missed detection of G6PD deficiency (carriers) in the specimens from girls (35%, 13/37).
CONCLUSIONSRT-PCR sequencing has a high detection rate of G6PD gene mutation and a certain value in clinical diagnosis of G6PD deficiency.

Aim To investigate the effect of ketamine plus fluoxetine on depressed behavior and the expres-sion of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)and CA-PON in prefrontal lobe of mentally depressed rats at different time points,so as to study the possible mecha-nism of ketamine plus fluoxetine inducing antidepres-sant behavior.Methods Healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 2.5 ~3 months,weighing 220 ~270 g,were induced as the rodent model of depression by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS).After the models of depression were established,96 of CUMS modeling successfully depressed rats were selected. Then they were randomly divided into four groups (n =24 each):the depressed group (group D,untreated group),ketamine group (group K,treated with intrap-eritoneal injection of ketamine 1 0 mg·kg -1 once a day for 3 days or 7 days),fluoxetine group (group F,trea-ted with gavage of fluoxetine 1 .8 mg·kg -1 once a day for 3 days or 7 days),or ketamine plus fluoxetine group (group KF,treated with intraperitoneal injection of ketamine 1 0 mg·kg -1 plus gavage of fluoxetine 1 .8 mg·kg -1 once a day for 3 days or 7 days).Open field test and sucrose preference test were performed 1 day before depression model was established,and 1 day before and after treatment.The rats were sacrificed 1 day after the last test for determination of the expres-sion of nNOS and CAPON protein (using immuno-his-tochemisity)and mRNA (by RT-PCR)in the prefron-tal lobe.Results After the models of depression were established,the total distance,rearing number and the sucrose preference percentage (SPP)were decreased significantly compared with those before (P <0.05). There was no significant difference among all groups in the total distance,rearing number and the SPP before treatment (P >0.05 ).Compared with groups D and F,the total distance was prolonged,the number of rea-ring and SPP were significantly increased,the expres-sion of nNOS protein and mRNA was down-regulated and the expression of CAPON protein and mRNA was up-regulated in groups K and KF,with 3 days’treat-ment (P <0.05).Compared with group D,the total distance was prolonged,the number of rearing and SPP were significantly increased,the expression of nNOS protein and mRNA was down-regulated and the expres-sion of CAPON protein and mRNA was up-regulated in groups K,F and KF with 7 days’treatment (P <0.05).Compared with group F,the total distance was prolonged,the number of rearing and SPP were signifi-cantly increased,the expression of nNOS protein and mRNA was down-regulated and the expression of CA-PON protein and mRNA was up-regulated in group KF with 7 days’treatment (P <0.05).Conclusion Co-administration of antidepressant fluoxetine with ket-amine may induce a more pronounced antidepressant activity than treatment with each antidepressant alone and it can shorten the time to improve the depressive state through promoting the expression of CAPON and inhibiting nNOS activity in the prefrontal lobe of men-tally depressed rats.
