We originally created the theory of "four separated" management of goods, by which we achieved the effective administration in the aspects of check and approval, purchase, safekeeping and usage of materials in our hospital. Combining with practical work of our hospital, this article analyzed and summarized the theory, application, effect and significance of the "four separated" management of the goods.

BACKGROUND: Growth factors and other biological methods have become very popular in the repair of degenerative interevrtebral disc. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) can promote the proliferation of nucleus pulposus cells, and synthesis of functional extracellular matrix, but the mechanisms remain unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of IGF-Ⅰ on the expressions of aggrecan and collagen type Ⅱ in nucleus pulposus cells, and to explore its signal transduction mechanism.METHODS: The human nucleus pulposus cells were isolated and cultured. Passage 3 nucleus pulposus cells were induced in different concentrations of IGF-1 (0, 20, 50, 100 and 200 μg/L), respectively. The expressions of aggrecan and collagen type Ⅱ were detected by reverse transcription PCR and western blot assay. Western blot assay was adopted to observe the effect of 100 μg/L IGF-1 on the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in nucleus pulposus cells,and the expression of aggrecan and collagen type Ⅱ was detected after the inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway by LY294002.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the increase of IGF concentration, the expression levels of aggrecan and collagen type Ⅱ were increased gradually. 100 μg/L IGF-1 could significantly promote the expressions of p-PI3K and p-Akt (P <0.01), while LY294002 reversed this effcet (P < 0.01). 100 μg/L IGF-1 significantly upregulated the expression levels of aggrecan and collagen type Ⅱ in nucleus pulposus cells (P < 0.01); in contrast, LY294002 significantly downregulated the expression levels of aggrecan and collagen type Ⅱ promoted by IGF-1(P < 0.01). These results indicate that IGF-1 can promote the expression levels of aggrecan and collagen type Ⅱ in nucleus pulposus cells via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVETo study the residue of in roots of Atractylodes macrocephalal and in soil.

METHODSamples were extracted with methanol. The extracts were cleaned up by liquid-liquid extraction and detected by HPLC.

RESULTRepeatability and accuracy of the method was verified by fortified recovery at 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 mg x kg(-1) levels. Average recovery were 86.1%-98.3% and RSD were 1.0%-6.5% in root and soil. A. macrocephala was treated with two dosage of carbendazim during growing. Results of field test showed that the half lives of carbendazim were 6.51-7.98 d in cultivated soil, 4.51-6.50 d in roots, separately. After sample was preliminarily processed, the residue of dried samples was 0.042-0.433 mg x kg(-1), higher than the fresh samples.

CONCLUSIONIf 0.2 mg x kg(-1) is recommended as the MRL (maximum residues limited) of carbendazim in the roots of A. macrocephala, it is suggested that the dose of 0.675 kg a.i. x hm(-1) carbendazim is sprayed twice a year, and carbendazim should not be used within 21 days before the harvest.

OBJECTIVE To generate hemophilia A (HA) patient-specific inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and induce endothelial differentiation. METHODS Tubular epithelial cells were isolated and cultured from the urine of HA patients. The iPSCs were generated by forced expression of Yamanaka factors (Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4) using retroviruses and characterized by cell morphology, pluripotent marker staining and in vivo differentiation through teratoma formation. Induced endothelial differentiation of the iPSCs was achieved with the OP9 cell co-culture method. RESULTS Patient-specific iPSCs were generated from urine cells of the HA patients, which could be identified by cell morphology, pluripotent stem cell surface marker staining and in vivo differentiation of three germ layers. The teratoma experiment has confirmed that such cells could differentiate into endothelial cells expressing the endothelial-specific markers CD144, CD31 and vWF. CONCLUSION HA patient-specific iPSCs could be generated from urine cells and can differentiate into endothelial cells. This has provided a new HA disease modeling approach and may serve as an applicable autologous cell source for gene correction and cell therapy studies for HA.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Astragaloside Ⅳ-mediated Endothelial progenitor cells derived exosomes (EPC-Exos) on the biological function of EPC-Exos damaged by high glicose.Methods:EPCs from human umbilical cord blood were isolated and cultured in vitro. the EPC-Exos secreted by EPCs were extracted by ultracentrifugation combined with ultrafiltration, and identified by specific markers CD9, CD63 and CD81, respectively. After the cells were cultured for 24 hours with AS-IV at 100 mg/L and PBS at the same volume, the morphological characteristics of EPC-Exos were observed by transmission electron microscope. Human endothelial cells were isolated, cultured and identified in vitro. The identified endothelial cells were pretreated with 30 mmol/L glucose for 120 h and randomly divided into experimental group and control group, at the same time set the normal group. The cells were cultured for 24 hours, the effects of EPC-Exos on proliferation, adhesion, migration and angiogenesis of endothelial cells damaged by high glucose were observed by using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) Cell Proliferation Assay Kit, cell scratch test, adhesion assay and in vitro angiogenesis assay by Matrigel. Results:Compared with the normal group, the proliferation, migration, adhesion and tubulogenesis of human endothelial cells in the control group were significantly lower ( t=24.35, 6.80, 10.65, 9.62, P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the proliferation, adhesion, migration and tubulogenesis of human endothelial cells in the experimental group were significantly enhanced ( t=30.68, 5.99, 5.40, 8.25, P<0.05). Conclusions:EPC-Exos mediated by AS-Ⅳ can significantly improve the biological function of human endothelial cells damaged by high glucose and has the potential to modulate endothelial neovascularization in diabetic rats.

Objective To explore the feasibility of automating the measurement of abduction angle after total hip arthroplasty(THA)on postoperative radiographs by using deep learning algorithms.Methods The data were retrospectively collected.A total of 381 cases were used to develop deep learning model.Two radiologists annotated the key points on the images(lateral-superior point and medial-inferior point of acetabular cups,tear drops).The data was split into training dataset(304 cases),tuning dataset(38 cases),and test dataset(39 cases).A 2D U-net model was trained to segment the key points and the abduction angle were automatically meas-ured.After development of the model,an external validation dataset was collected(143 cases).Dice similarity coefficient(DSC)and mean absolute error(MAE)were used to evaluate the prediction efficiency of the model in the test dataset and the external validation dataset.Bland-Altman test was used to analyze the agreement between the abduction angle measured automatically by the model and the physician measurement.Results The DSC were 0.870-0.905 and 0.690-0.750 in the test dataset and the external validation dataset,and the corresponding MAE were 0.311-0.561 and 0.951-1.310.For the result of Bland-Altman analysis,only 6.52％(3/46)and 2.08％(3/144)of the abduction angle measurements in the test dataset and external validation dataset were outside the 95％limit of agreement(LoA).In the qualitative evaluation of the abduc-tion angle,the agreement of the model with the physician were 97.8％and 90.3％in the test dataset and the external validation dataset.Conclusion It is feasible to use deep learning algorithms to automatically measure the abduction angle after THA on X-ray images,achieving similar accuracy to that of physician.
