The traditional primary culture methods of human normal epithelial cells have disadvantages of low activity of cultured cells,the low cultivated rate and complicated operation.To solve these problems,researchers made many studies on culture process of human normal primary epithelial cell.In this paper,we mainly introduce some methods used in separation and purification of human normal epithelial cells,such as tissue separation method,enzyme digestion separation method,mechanical brushing method,red blood cell lysis method,percoll layered medium density gradient separation method.We also review some methods used in the culture and subculture,including serum-free medium combined with low mass fraction serum culture method,mouse tail collagen coating method,and glass culture bottle combined with plastic culture dish culture method.The biological characteristics of human normal epithelial cells,the methods of immunocytochemical staining,trypan blue exclusion are described.Moreover,the factors affecting the aseptic operation,the conditions of the extracellular environment,the conditions of the extracellular environment during culture,the number of differential adhesion,and the selection and dosage of additives are summarized.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of turning holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (THoLEP) and transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods A retrospective analysis of 532 patients with BPH surgery from January 2016 to December 2017 was performed,including 289 cases of transurethral resection of holmium laser enucleation (THoLEP) and 43 cases of transurethral holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP).Cases with incomplete data were excluded.Finally,100 patients were enrolled and divided into THoLEP group and HoLEP.The mean ages of patients in the THoLEP group and the HoLEP group were (74.6 ± 8.2) years and (75.3 ± 7.7) years,respectively.The prostate weights were (52.3 ± 23.1) g and (52.6 ± 22.7) g,respectively.International prostate symptom scores (IPSS) were (22.8 ± 1.3) and (23.1 ± 1.6),and the quality of life score (QOL) scores were (4.4 ± 0.5) and (4.3 ± 0.8),respectively.The rate of mximum flow rate (Qmax) was (5.9 ± 2.7) ml/s and (6.3 ± 2.8) mL/s,respectively.The residual urine volume was (149.3 ± 8.7) ml and (145.3 ± 9.7) ml,respectively.There was no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Results Compared with HoLEP group,THoLEP group showed shorter operation time [(44 ± 13) min vs.(61 ± 15) min,P ＜ 0.05] and less intraoperative bleeding [(101.6 ± 13.2) ml vs.(119.9 ± 18.0) ml,P ＜ 0.05].The weight of the resected tissue in the THoLEP group was slightly larger than that in the HoLEP group,however the difference was not statistically significant [(30.5 ± 9.5) g vs.(28.7 ± 8.5) g] (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of transient urinary incontinence in THoLEP group was less than that in HoLEP group [2 and 4 cases,P ＜ 0.05].There were no cases of urinary incontinence in both groups after 3 months,and no permanent urinary incontinence in both groups.THoLEP was slightly better than HoLEP group,but the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞0.05).Conclusions Compared with HoLEP,THoLEP has similar short-term results,and has more advantages in shortening the operation time,reducing intraoperative bleeding and transient urinary incontinence.It is a safer and effective method for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
