Objective To evaluate the differences between fresh and cryopreserved human umbilical cord blood as well as the stem cell homing.Methods Fresh or cryopreserved human umbilical cord blood cells were injected into lethally irradiated BALB/C nu+ mice.The mice survival rates,the successful transplantation evidence and the migration phenomenon were observed.Results The survival rates of the fresh group and the cryopreserved group were much higher than the control group,but there was no difference between the former two groups.Evidence of human hematopoiesis were observed by means of PCR or FACS.However,the pattern of migration was different berween fresh and cryopreserved cord blood stem cells. Conclusion Human cord blood contains high hematopoietic potential stem cells to cross xenogenetic barriers and successfully engraft in mice.Cryopreservation can keep the hematopoietic potential of cord blood,but may influence the adhesion molecular of the stem cells and thus influence their homing behavior.

Objective: The compare the safety and efficacy between cryoablation (CRYO) and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for treating the patients with atrio-ventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) by meta-analysis.
Methods: We systemically searched the Medline, Cochrane library and Embase database to fulifll our pre-deifned criteria until the publication of May 2014.
Results: There were 5 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 14 retrospective trials enrolled in our study with 2900 patients. The patients were allocated into 2 groups:CRYO group, n=1384 and RFCA group, n=1516. The overall pool-analysis demonstrated that compared with RFCA group, CRYO group had the lower risk of permanent atrio-ventricular nodal block (OR:0.27, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.62, P<0.01) and shorter X-ray exposure time (WMD:-3.36, 95%CI-5.58 to-1.15, P<0.01);while CRYO group had the lower immediate procedural success rate (OR:0.63, 95%CI 0.42 to 0.96, P<0.05), longer procedural time (WMD:10.97, 95%CI 3.35 to 18.58, P<0.01), and higher long-term arrhythmia recurrence rate (OR:2.89, 95%CI 2.05 to 4.06, P<0.01).
Conclusion: Although CRYO could decrease the risk of permanent atrio-ventricular nodal block, while its effectiveness was lower than RFCA for AVNRT treatment in relevant patients.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of autologous stem cell transplantation research for patients with cerebral hemorrhage sequelae under the stereotactic.Methods One hundred patients with cerebral hemorrhage from Jan.2011 to Sep.2013 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group (n =50) and the control group (n =50).The patients of experimental group were given autologous stem cell transplantation under the stereotactic in 6 months after cerebral hemorrhage,while the patients in control group were just given traditional treatment.At 6,7 and 12 months after cerebral hemorrhage,rate with neural function defect scale and functional independence measure(FIM) scores of the two groups were compared.Results FIM scores in the experimental group was 102.08 ± 8.28,significant higher than that in control group(95.28±8.75,P＜0.05).Functional independence measure scores in the experimental group at 7 months after cerebral hemorrhage was 13.12±4.00,significant lower than that in control group(20.40±4.33,P ＜0.05).While,there was no statistical difference at 6 months and 12 months after cerebral hemorrhage between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The therapeutic of autologous stem cell transplantation on patients with cerebral hemorrhage sequelae under the stereotactic is benefit at short term,but the long term therapy effective still needs further study.

BACKGROUND:Autologous island flap transplantation is the main therapy for burn scars. Floating and necrosis of transplanted flaps mainly impact the therapeutic effects. Dexamethasone has immunoregulatory function during trauma and stress process. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of dexamethasone on immune balance of Th1/Th2 and prognosis in patients with burn scars undergoing autologous island flap transplantation. METHODS:Sixty-eight patients with burn scars undergoing transplantation of pedicled island flap were selected and randomly divided into control group and experimental group. Patients in the two groups were treated with negative pressure drainage under skin flap, infection prevention, improvement of microcirculation. After that, dexamethasone sodium phosphate (0.2 mg/kg) was immediately given in the experimental group, and the dose gradualy decreased after 3 days until drug withdrawal at 7 days. Levels of Th1, Th2, Th1/Th2 and interferon-γ, interleukin-4 were compared between the two groups before and 1 week after transplantation. In addition, incidence rates of skin flap necrosis, hemodynamic disorder, and effusion were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of Th1, Th2, Th1/Th2, interferon-γ and interleukin-4 had no obvious differences between the two groups before flap transplantation. At 1 week after transplantation, the levels of Th1 and Th1/Th2 were higher, while the levels of Th2, interferon-γ and interleukin-4 were lower in the experimental group than the control group. Moreover, the incidence of complications was also lower in the experimental group than the control group. In conclude, dexamethasone can decrease the incidence of complications after island flap transplantation, which is maybe the result of adjusting immune balance of Th1/Th2.

Objective To know about the influence of quality control based on Gantt chart on work quality and stress,so as to explore effective method of management suitable for them.Methods 52 nurses from the eastern zone of a three A-level hospital in Jiujiang City were randomly selected as the experimental group,they were implemented with Gantt chart management.Another 52 nurses from the western zone of the same hospital were selected as the control group,they were executed traditional experience-based management.The scores of quality of care and nurses stress were compared between the two groups.Results For the score of the quality of care,the experimental group was higher;,for the score of the nurses stress,the experimental group was lower in the overall sides,and the differences were significant except those of the working environment and equipment,which showed no significant difference between two groups.Conclusions Gantt management method can significantly improve the quality of care,moreover,effectively alleviate the nurses'stress.

Objective:To evaluate the cerebral blood flow circulation time (CCT) by contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and to explore the change rule of CCT in different degree of intracranial pressure, so as to provide a new method for non-invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure.Methods:Ten patients with hemorrhagic stroke or acute craniocerebral trauma with increased intracranial pressure were selected from Tangdu Hospital, the Air Force Military Medical University from January to December 2019. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound was performed when the invasive intracranial pressure (iICP) increased (>20 mmHg, iICP increased group) and decreased to normal (≤20 mmHg, iICP normal group), CCT was measured and analyzed. The differences of CCTs between different iICP groups were compared and the relationship between CCT and iICP was analyzed.Results:①The CCT on the lesion sides of the same patients in the iICP increased group was significantly longer than in the iICP normal group[(9.34±2.58)s vs (6.48±1.91)s, P=0.002]. ②When iICP was increased in patients with hemorrhagic stroke or acute craniocerebral trauma, the CCTs of the diseased side and the non-pathological side were not statistically significant [(9.34±2.58)s vs (9.01±3.22)s, P=0.809]. ③Pearson correlation analysis and Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that there were no correlations between patient′s breathing, heart rate, carbon dioxide partial pressure, body temperature, GCS score and CCT (all P>0.05). Age, mean arterial pressure and CCT were moderately correlated ( r=0.518, 0.463 and P=0.023, 0.046, respectively). ④Logistic regression analysis showed that CCT was an independent risk factor related to intracranial hypertension( OR=0.7, 95% CI=0.47-0.95, P=0.036). The area under ROC curve (AUC) predicted by logistic regression was 0.750(0.588~0.912). Conclusions:Contrast-enhanced ultrasound noninvasive assessment of CCT can reflect the intracranial pressure in patients with hemorrhagic stroke or acute traumatic brain injury, and CCT has a predictive value for intracranial hypertension. When the patient has limited conditions for invasive intracranial pressure monitoring, or when the invasive monitoring probe is pulled out but still needs to evaluate intracranial pressure, the change of CCT can provide an effective reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of leptin (LEP) pretreatment on hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) induced apoptusis in human L02 liver cells. Methods Human L02 liver cells were obtained from pharmacology laboratory, Zhong-Shan University and cultured in DMEM liquid culture medium in an incubator filled with 5% CO_2 at 37℃. The cells were divided into 6 groups ( n = 6 each) : group control (group C) ; grouphypoxia-reoxygenation (group H/R); group Ⅰ-Ⅳ pretreatment with LEP 100, 200, 400 and 800 μg/L + H/R. In group H/R and group Ⅰ-Ⅳ L02 cells were exposed to 95% N_2-5% CO_2 for 12 h followed by 12 h reoxygenation. In group Ⅰ-Ⅳ the cells were pretreated with LEP 100, 200, 400, 800 μg/L respectively before H/R. At the end of 12 h of reoxygenation, the cells were centrifuged and the supematant was collected for determination of ALT and AST concentrations. Apoptosis in L02 cells was detected by Hoechst 33342/PI staining. Fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA expression. Results (1) ALT and AST concentrations were significantly increased after H/R. The increase in ALT and AST concentrations was ameliorated by pretreatment with LEP. (2) The H/R-induced apoptotic changes of the cells were attenuated by pretreatment with LEP. (3) The Bax mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA expression was significantly increased in group H/R as compared with group C. Leptin pretreatmcnt significantly reduced Bax mRNA expression and increased Bcl-2 mRNA expression as compared with group H/R. Conclusion LEP pretreatment can decrease H/R-indtwed apoptosis in the L02 liver cells by down-regulation of Bax mRNA expression and up-regulation of Bcl-2 mRNA expression.

BACKGROUND:Jumonji domain-containing histone demethylase (JMJD) can promote osteoblast differentiation, and estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) can promote osteoblast differentiation and increase bone formation. However, little is reported on the association between postmenopausal osteoporosis andJMJD and ERRα. OBJECTIVE: To study the changes in the JMJD2 family expression in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS: Postmenopausal patients with osteoarthritis of the hip scheduled for total hip arthroplasty, aged 50-70 years, were enroled, including 10 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients (experimental group) and 10 patients with no postmenopausal osteoporosis (control group). During the arthroplasty, the cancelous bone specimens from the femoral head were colected. Then, immunohistochemistry and western blot assay were used to detect expression of histone demethylase (JMJD2A, JMJD2B), histone methylation (H3K9me3, H3K36me3) and ERRα. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the experimental group, the expressions of JMJD2A, JMJD2B and ERRαwere from weakly positive to positive; these expressions were significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). The expressions of H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the expression of JMJD2A and JMJD2B is consistent with the expression of ERRα in the patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and JMJD is likely to serve as an antagonistic enzyme of osteoporosis.
