In recent years,with the further study of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC),using BMSC transplantation for the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease has become a research hotspot.However,there are still considerable controversies in the mechanism of action,transplanting time,transplantation path,and specific marker.

Objective To understand the status quo and influencing factors of behavior problems in rural left-behind children. Methods Cross-sectional sampling approach was used for this comparative study.A total of 983 children of 7 to 9 grades from three counties of Changzhi City finished out questionnaires. Results The prevalence of behavior problems was significantly increased in the left-behind children in comparison with the non-left-behind children (59. 7% vs 50. 0% ; χ2 =5. 591 ,P＜0. 05). Long-time separation with mother and poorer education level were risk factors of behavior problems of left-behind children. Conclusion Behavior problems in rural left-behind children are even serious. Parents should avoid becoming a long-term migrant employee and have more concerns to children's mental and behavior health.

Chinese medicine health care industry is in a well developmenting atmosphere, though there are still some problems restricting the development, such as small scale of business assert and sales, lack of new products. These happened mainly due to people’s attitudes, such as thinking highly of treatment than prevention, few policies supporting and not perfect regulations. It is recommended to strengthen innovation at the premise of a combination of government and market leading, and establish appropriate safeguards.

Objective To investigate the effects of sIL-2R in plasma on regulatory T cells (Treg) in children with Kawasaki disease ( KD ) .Methods Thirty-three children with KD and fourteen age-matched healthy children were enrolled in this study .The proportions of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells in pe-ripheral blood and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of phosphorylated-STAT5 (pSTAT5) protein in CD4+CD25+T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry .The concentrations of sIL-2R, IL-2, IL-7 and IL-15 in plas-ma were measured by cytometric bead array ( CBA ) .Real-time PCR was performed to detect the gene ex-pressions of Foxp3, GITR, CTLA4, IL-2Rα, IL-2Rβand IL-2Rγat mRNA level as well as the expressions of IL-17A and ROR-γt at mRNA level in CD4+CD25-T cells.Results (1) Compared with the control group, the proportions of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells in peripheral blood from patients with KD and the expressions of associated factors including Foxp 3, GITR and CTLA-4 at mRNA level were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05).However,the expressions of IL-17A and ROR-γt at mRNA level in Th17 cells were markedly up-regulated (P<0.05), which could be recovered to some extent after treatment with IVIG (P<0.05).(2)The expressions of pSTAT5 protein in CD4+CD25+T cells from patients with acute KD were sig-nificantly decreased (P<00.5 ), but increased with IVIG intervention (P<0.05).(3)The concentrations of sIL-2R in plasma were elevated during acute KD (P<0.05), but decreased after treatment with IVIG (P<0.05).Moreover, KD patients with coronary artery lesion ( KD-CAL+) presented a high level of sIL-2R than those without coronary artery lesion (KD-CAL-) (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the concentrations of IL-2, IL-7 and IL-15 in plasma between two groups (P>0.05).(4)The expressions of IL-2Rαand IL-2Rβat mRNA level in CD4+CD25+T cells from patients with acute KD were lower than those of the healthy subjects (P<0.05), but up-regulated to some extent with IVIG treatment (P<0.05).There was no significant change in the expression of IL-2Rγat mRNA level (P>0.05).The concentrations of sIL-2R in plasma were negatively correlated with the expressions of IL-2Rβand Foxp3 at mRNA level and pSTAT5 at protein level (P<0.05).The expression of pSTAT5 protein had positive correlation with the ex-pression of Foxp3 at mRNA level (P<0.05).Conclusion Aberrant IL-2/STAT5 signaling pathway media-ted by significantly increased concentration of sIL-2R in plasma might be one of the factors leading to down-regulation of Treg cells in patients with acute KD .

Objective To investigate the occurrence law of autophagy in trophoblast cells from preeclampsia and its underlying mechanisms.Methods Twenty cases of placenta tissues were collected from women suffered from preeclampsia and normal pregnant women respectively.Autophagosome of trophoblast cells were observed by transmission electron microscope.The expressions of LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ and Atg4B in placenta tissues were detected by western blot and real-time PCR.Results Compared with the control group,typical autophagosomes of trophoblast cells were observed by transmission electron microscope.The ratio of LC3-Ⅱ / Ⅰ in placenta of PE patients was increased (1.43 ± 0.23) compared with control group (0.59 ±0.12),and the expression of Atg4B was up-regulated in both mRNA [(1.73 ±0.16) folds] and protein levels (0.71 ± 0.13) compared with control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Autophagy was significantly up-regulated in trophoblast cells from patients suffered from preeclampsia.Thus,all the data suggest that autophagy might be involved in the generation of preeclampsia.

Ramie and kenaf were traditional fiber crops in China, but their stalk after decorticating has not been used effectively. The stalk contains a lot of cellulose, and can therefore be used for the production of bioethanol. We studied the effects of different chemical pretreatment on enzymatic digestibility of ramie stalk and kenaf stalk. Ramie and kenaf stalks pretreated with alkali were chosen to produce ethanol using quasi-simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (Q-SSF) process. The results show that for the stalks pretreated with 4% NaOH and 0.02% anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt (AQSS) as catalyzer at 170 degrees C for 1 h, the ethanol concentration could reach 51 g/L after fermentation for 168 h at 18% of solid substrate concentration. By fed-batch to 20% of solid substrate concentration, the ethanol concentration could reach 63 g/L, 77% and 79% of the cellulose conversion could get for ramie stalk and kenaf stalk, respectively. For kenaf stalk pretreated with 5.2% NaHSO3 and 0.2% H2SO4 at 170 degrees C for 1 h, the ethanol concentration and cellulose conversion could reach to 65 g/L and 72%, respectively.

Objective:To optimize the formula of metronidazole and borneol sustained-release films. Methods: The mass ratio of Rhizoma Bletillae polysaccharide and polyvinyl alcohol 124(PVA-124) and the dosage of glycerol and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose ( CMC-Na) as the influencing factors ,the appearance of films and the release rate of metronidazole at 0. 5h and 4h as the comprehen-sive evaluation indices, the formula of the film-forming materials was optimized by orthogonal test. Results:The mass ratio of Rhizoma Bletillae polysaccharide and PVA-124 was the key factor affecting the quality of the films. When the mass ratio of Rhizoma Bletillae pol-ysaccharide and PVA-124 was 20∶80, and the dosage of glycerol was 3. 5g and that of CMC-Na was 0. 14g, the appearance of the films was satisfied, the release rate of metronidazole at 0. 5h and 4h was 25. 17% and 69. 64%, respectively, and the average cumulative re-lease rate at 8h was over 90%. Conclusion:The films prepared by the optimized formula are flat, smooth, clean and moderately soft, which can not only remain the drug release characteristics of the films made by the original formula, but also exhibit the pharmacologi-cal effect of Rhizoma Bletillae.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of hypocaloric enteral nutrition in patients with acute severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods A total of 100 patients with severe TBI [Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 3-8 points] were enrolled and randomly divided into hypocaloric enteral nutrition group (hypocaloric group, 41.86-62.79 kJ · kg-1 · d-1) and traditional caloric enteral nutrition group (traditional caloric group, 104.65-125.58 kJ · kg-1 · d-1) ,50 patients per group.The enteral nutrition was given at 24-72 hours postoperatively.The changes of total serum protein (TP), serum-albumin (ALB), plasma hemoglobin (Hb), fasting blood glucose (Glu) and major gastrointestinal tract complications were observed and compared at 7 and 14 days after enteral nutrition support.Results Levels of TP, ALB and Hb were lowered in both groups at 7 and 14 days after nutritional support but showed no statistical difference (P ＞ 0.05).Glu was (6.37 ± 1.02) mmol/L in hypocaloric calorie group, significantly lower than (7.35 ± 1.70) mmol/L in traditional caloric group at day 7 after nutritional support (P ＜ 0.05).At 7 and 14 days after nutrition support, nausea, regurgitation, vomiting and complication incidence showed no significant difference between hypocaloric calorie group and traditional caloric group after nutritional support (P ＞ 0.05), but abdominal distension, diarrhea and stomach retention rate in hypocaloric group were significantly lower than those in traditional caloric group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Hypocaloric enteral nutrition can significantly reduce the stress hyperglycemia, abdominal distention, diarrhea, gastric retention and other gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with acute severe TBI.

Atherosclerosis is the common basic pathophysiology progresses of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Atherosclerotic plaque rupture and consequently thrombosis are the major cause of mobility and mortality in atherosclerosis, and treatment aimed at stabilizing vulnerable plaques is of great clinical importance. However, an ideal drug for stabilizing vulnerable plaques is still lacking. Although Statins are considered as the most potent drugs for stabilizing plaques, their side effects are serious. Traditional Chinese medicine have multi-targets and less side effect, it might be the potential candidate for atherosclerosis treatment. This article reviewed the latest progresses on the stabilizing vulnerable plaques treatments.
