BACKGROUND:The chitin medical wound dressing can relieve the wound pain, bleeding, and promote wound healing. It has good biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. With the good permeability and natural
degradation in the body, it can be used clinicaly as a good biological wound dressing.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcome of the chitin medical wound dressing paste and routine dressings used in changing the dressing and medication.
METHODS:We retrospectively studied 60 patients undergoing wound-treatment. They were divided into two
groups: chitin medical wound dressing paste group and routine dressing group. Each group had 30 patients. We recorded wound healing rate, detection rate of bacteria, visual analog scale score, healing time and cost of
treatment at 3, 7, 14 days after treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The wound healing rate, detection rate of bacteria, visual analog scale score, healing time of the chitin medical wound dressing paste group were better than those of the routine dressing change medicine group (P < 0.05). But there was no difference in the cost of treatment between the two groups. Therefore, we can made the conclusion that the chitin medical wound dressing paste used in changing the
dressing and medication can promote wound healing, reduce the antibacterial infection rate, and obtain better treatment satisfaction.

BACKGROUND: It has been found that vascular endothelial growth factor can induce the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into endothelial cells, but can the vascular endothelial growth factor gene promote the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into vascular endothelial cells in the damaged organ under the hypoxic environment? OBJECTIVE: To observe whether human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells induced by vascular endothelial growth factor could differentiate into vascular endothelial cells under hypoxia. METHODS: The third passage of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in vitro. Cells in the control group were cultured with conventional culture medium, while those in experimental group were cultured with adenovirus vector containing vascular endothelial growth factor in 5% O2. After 2 weeks of culture, morphological observation and surface-related molecular detection were performed. The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and endothelial nitric oxide synthase were detected by ELISA. The expression of endothelin and prostacyclin was detected by RT-PCR and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The number of cells in the control group was more than that in the experimental group. The cells in the control group were crowded and arranged irregularly, showing a fiber-like growth, while those in the experimental group were mostly triangular or polygonal, exhibiting a colony-like growth. (2) CD31 was negative in the control group, while CD105 was positive and the positive rate was 99.7%, indicating that the cells still showed the phenotype of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The positive rate ofCD31 was significantly increased to 30.33% in the experimental group and the positive rate of CD105 expression was decreased to 58.11%, indicating a typical phenotype of endothelial cells. (3) Compared with the control group, the expression of endothelin, vascular endothelial growth factor and endothelial nitric oxide synthase increased significantly in the experimental group (P < 0.05), and the expression of prostacyclin decreased significantly (P < 0.05). All these findings indicate that vascular endothelial growth factor can promote the differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into vascular endothelial cells under hypoxia.

BACKGROUND:Kalikrein 1 is an important component of the kalikrein-kinin system. Studies have shown that kalikrein can protect the cardiovascular system by promoting angiogenesis and inhibiting myocardial inflammation, but there is no report on its effect on inducing differentiation of stem cels. OBJECTIVE: To determine the transfection efficiency of kalikrein 1 adenoviral vector in rat bone mesenchymal stem cels. METHODS:Using adenovirus as a vector, the target gene kalikrein 1 was transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Fluorescence microscopy, MTT method and flow cytometry were used to investigate the effect of transfection and determine the optimal multiplicity of infection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Adenovirus carrying kalikrein 1 was successfuly transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Results from flow cytometry showed that the transfection efficiency was associated with the multiplicity of infection. When the multiplicity of infection was 150, the transfection efficiency was 80.8%. MTT results showed that when the multiplicity of infection was 200, the cel growth was inhibited remarkably. These findings indicate that adenovirus-mediated kalikrein 1 can be successfuly transfected into rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels with the optimal multiplicity of infection=150.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of CMV infection(CMV-I) and CMV related diseases (CMV-D) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation in 70 consecutive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation(allo-HSCT) patients and to search for the optimal prophylactic strategy.Methods: Blood samples were monitored using the CMV pp65 antigenemia assay.Of the 70 patients observed,30 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia[CML:CP(27),AP(2),BC(1)],12 with acute myeloblastic leukemia(AML),10 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)and other cases were NHL(3), AA(5), MDS(7), SCLC with pancytopenia (1),CLL(1), and MF (1). Sixty six patients received HLA - identical siblings transplantation and four received tranplants from their HLA- haploidentical donors. Seventy cases included allo-PBPCT (64 cases) , allo-BMT (4 cases) and allo-PB+BMT (2). Before transplantation, all patients and donors received CMV serological examination except 4 pairs of donors/recepients. All 66 patients (3 cases were CMV IgM positive) and 64/66 donors were CMV IgG positive. Results:After transplantation, 64/70 patients developed CMV viremia during monitoring period. Forty three of 70 patients developed CMV-D.Thirty five of them suffered from CMV-associated interstitial pneumonia(CMV-IP). The high peak levels of CMV antigenemia were associated with development of CMV disease . Close correlation was found between acute graft vs host disease(GVHD) and CMV disease. The patients were followed up for 2 to 24 months. The patients who received preemptive therapy(group A)had significantly better outcome than CMV disease group(group B, P=0.0001). Conclusions: The results suggest that CMV antigenemia has high predictive value for subsequent CMV disease and CMV pp65 antigenemia -guided early therapy has particular advantage for avoiding morbidity and mortality caused by CMV disease.

Objective To explore the effects of the extracellular regulated protein kinase’s (ERK1/2) inhibitor PD98059 and ino-sitol triphosphate kinase (PI3K/PKB) signaling pathway’s inhibitor LY294002 on extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) stimulated by connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). Methods PASMCs of SD rat were cul-tured in vitro. The PASMCs were divided into control group, CTGF group, CP (CTGF+PD98059) group, CL (CTGF+LY294002) group and CPL (CTGF+PD98059+LY294002) group. Real-time lfuorescent quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of colla-gen III and ifbronectin mRNA of PASMCs, and the expression of collagenШprotein of PASMCs was detected by immunohistochem-istry and western-blot. Results The expressions of collagenШand ifbronectin mRNA of PASMCs stimulated with CTGF (50 ng/ml) for 48 h were signiifcantly higher than those in control group, and the collagen proteinШof PASMCs was decreased signiifcantly after stimulation with CTGF (50 ng/ml) for 72 h (P<0.05). The expressions of collagenШand ifbronectin mRNA in PASMCs cultured with PD98059 (20μmol/L) and/or LY294002 (10μmol/L) for 48 h was signiifcantly lower than those in CTGF group (P<0.05). The collagen proteinШin PASMCs cultured with PD98059 (20μmol/L) and/or LY294002 (10μmol/L) for 72 h was increased (P<0.05). The expres-sions of collagenШand ifbronectin mRNA of PASMCs stimulated with both PD98059 and LY294002 were more signiifcant. Conclu-sions CTGF may increase the expression of collagenШand ifbronectin mRNA in PASMCs, which may contribute to the deposition of ECM in PASMCs during pulmonary vascular remodeling. PD98059 and LY294002 may repress ERK1/2 and PI3K/PKB signaling pathways and interfere with the biological effect of CTGF.

To investigate the relationship between serum glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD-Ab)titer and the first-phase insulin release (1PH)in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. 1053 newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were divided into 3 groups, including 71 individuals with GAD-Ab≥1 U/ml (positive group), 171 individuals with GAD-Ab ranging from 0 to 1 U/ml (negative-1 group), and 811 individuals with GAD-Ab=0 (negative-2 group). IPH was evaluated by arginine stimulation test. In the patients of negative-2, negative-1, and positive groups, the respective values of 1 PH were subsequently decreased significantly (P< 0. 01) , and the detection rates of the decreased insulin secretion were 74. 85%, 87. 13%, and 100%, respectively. Stepwise regression analysis indicated that disease duration, GAD-Ab titer, HbA_1C, and body mass index were the major independent contributing factors. The titer of GAD-Ab has an important impact on 1PH defect in type 2 diabetic patient. Detection of GAD-Ab not only provides an evidence for clinical type, but would also be helpful in determining the islet β-cell function.
