Objective To study the potential efficacy of transplanted bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in treating and repairing the acute lung injury in animal models. Methods MSCs were isolated from mouse bone marrow, cultrued and amplified in vitro. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was inhaled through postnasal tract to cause acute lung injury in mice and the MSCs labeled by Brdu were administrated via vein into the mice. The migration and differention of the cells were identified by immunostaining and double immunostaining. The pathological changes, pulmonary edema index and the content of IL-1β in lung homogenate were used to accese the therapeutical effect of MSCs. Results The cultured MSCs dispalyed a positive CD44 and a negative CD34. The Brdu-labeled cells were detected in the lungs of the recipient 4 days after transplantation, indicating its origin of MSCs. Theses cells also exhibited characteristics of aveolar epithelials, expressing the cytokeratin-the marker of epithelium. Compared with the injuried ones, the mice treated with MSCs showed a decreased pulmonary edema in-dex and IL-1β content in the lung homogenate. Conclusion These data suggest a therapeutical effects of MSCs in treating and repairing the mouse acute lung injury.

BackgroundDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, both teenagers' studies and personal life are critically affected, which has resulted in a variety of mental health problems. In this regard, scholars at home and abroad have carried out a large number of research concerning adolescent mental health, of which there still exists a lack of systematic combing and review. ObjectiveTo understand the status and development trend of research on adolescent mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic at home and abroad, and to grasp the current research hotspots and trends in this field, so as to provide references for relevant research and practice in the post-epidemic era. MethodsOn October 30, 2022, we searched through China Knowledge Network Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science database, and the publishing time of articles to be retrieved was limited between December 1, 2019 and October 30, 2022. Excel and CiteSpace were used to perform visual analysis on these articles in terms of number, author, institution, country and keywords of the articles. ResultsA total of 7 608 articles were included. At home and abroad, the number of papers related to adolescent mental health generally increased at first and then decreased under the pandemic situation. Compared with foreign countries, the connection and cooperation among domestic scholars and institutions was not close enough. The top three countries in the number of English literature published were the United States, Britain and China, and those in intermediary center were Tunis, Cameroon and Anguilla. The parent-child relationship and mental health of teenagers during were much concerned by scholars both at home and abroad. With the passage of time, researchers at home and abroad had shifted their focus from only negative factors to positive factors. ConclusionChinese scholars or institutions need to strengthen more domestic and international exchanges and cooperation. Scholars from different countries can carry out cross-cultural study on research topics of common concern, and continue to explore the positive psychological changes of teenagers in the post-epidemic era.[Funded by National Social Science Foundation 2020 Education Youth Project of 13th Five-Year Plan (number, CHA200259)]

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for simultaneous determination of two third-generation anti-epileptic medicines such as lacosamide and perampanel in human plasma and apply this method in clinical practice. METHODS Using clozapine as internal standard, the concentrations of lacosamide and perampanel of plasma samples in 10 epileptic patients were determined by LC-MS/MS after protein precipitation with acetonitrile and dilution with acetonitrile-water (20∶80,V/V), and the plasma minimum concentrations were obtained by dilution of multiple. The determination was performed on Welch Ultimate XB-C18 column, with mobile phase A consisted of 10 mmol/L ammonium formate and mobile phase B consisted of methanol-acetonitrile-isopropanol (0.2% formic acid) mixed solution (7∶1.5∶1.5, V/V/V) for gradient elution at the flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 40 ℃ , and the sample size was 5 μL. The electrospray ion source and multi-reaction monitoring mode were used for positive iron scanning. The ion pair used for quantitative analysis of lacosamide, perampanel and internal standard were m/z 251.2→ 144.1, m/z 350.2→219.2 and m/z 327.2→270.0, respectively. RESULTS The linear ranges of lacosamide and perampanel were 0.001 25-0.125 μg/mL(r>0.99), 0.037 5-3.75 ng/mL (r>0.99); the limits of quantification were 0.001 25 μg/mL and 0.037 5 ng/mL, respectively. The precision and accuracy within and between batches, extraction recovery rate, matrix effect, and stability all met relevant requirements. The minimum concentrations of lacosamide in No. 1-5 patients were 5.3-12.2 μg/mL, and the minimum concentrations of perampanel in No.6-10 patients were 208-510 ng/mL, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The established method is simple, rapid and suitable for the therapeutic drug monitoring of lacosamide and perampanel.
