Objective:To culture canine dental pulp stem cells(cDPSCs)in vitro.Methods:Canine pulp cells were isolated and cultured by enzyme digestion and explanted tissue culture respectively.Cell morphology was observed under phase-contrast micro-scope.The clone forming unit(CFU)of the cells was examined by plate clone formation assay.Cell markers and protein-expression were examined by flow cytometry(FC)and immunofluorescence.Odontogenic and adipogenic potential were evaluated by alizarin red staining and oil red O staining.Results:Short spindle fibroblast-like and steadily growing cells were obtained by both methods.The clone assay showed that CFU was 1 5.1 7% ±2.79%.FC observasion showed that the CD90,STRO-1 and CD24 positive cells were 24.43% ±7.1 0%,20.67% ±1 .42% and 2.03% ±0.06% respectively,but CD34 was negative.Immunofluorescence analysis showed positive expression of Nestin,Vimentin,weak expression of ALP and negative expression of DSP of the cells.Differentiation ex-periment confirmed the odontogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential of the cells.Conclusion:cDPSCs can be cultured in vitro.

[Objective]To discuss the influence of posterior cervical titanium internal fixation system on magnetic resonance image(MRI).[Method]Six cases that had operated in Changhai hospital with posterior cervical titanium internal fixation system performed MRI scan.The MRI system were 1.0-T or 1.5-T scanner.Patients all performed sagital T1,T2 and axial T1-weighted image scan under turbo spin echo(TSE)sequence,then the artifacts and its influence on the MRI image were analyzed.[Result]Mean artifact size ranged from 2 to 3 times of actual screw size.The artifact was similar to the primary shape of internal fixation system with low intensity signal on center and high intensity signal on the margin.The details in the spinal canal can be distinguished.The rod had small artifact,but the laminar hook had large artifact which obscured the posterior structure of spinal canal,and the artifact of pedicle screw had influence on lateral spinal canal,nerve root and vertebral artery.[Conclusion]Patients with posterior cervical titanium internal fixation system should choose Turbo spin echo(TSE)sequence for MRI scan,if the spin echo is performed,the TE should be minimized.

BACKGROUND:Both microfracture and osteochondral transplantation are effective tools in the clinical treatment of articular cartilage defects.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the implementation results of microfracture and osteochondral transplantation in the treatment of articular cartilage defects.
METHODS:The clinical data of 50 cases (50 knees) of articular cartilage defects were retrospectively analyzed. There were two groups according to surgical repair methods: autogenous osteochondral transplantation+ microfracture in observation group (n=25), and microfracture in control group (n=25). Patients in the two groups were folowed up for over 24 hours to compare the Hospital for Special Surgery scores, clinical efficacy, adverse effects and complications.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of patients whose Hospital for Special Surgery score was > 85 points and 60 to 85 points in the observation group was significantly larger than that in the control group (P< 0.05), and the total treatment effective rate of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (92%vs. 60%,P < 0.05). No complications occurred in both two groups. These findings indicate that osteochondral transplantation has better implementation results in the treatment of articular cartilage defects than microfracture.

Objective To explore the current status of humanistic care among medical students in clinical practice in obstetrics and gynecology department and its related influencing factors and to propose the corresponding countermeasures.Methods Scale of humanistic care quality was used in the survey for clinical practice students in obstetrics and gynecology department.ResultsThe total score rate of human care quality of medical students before clinical teaching were (84.12 ± 9.24)with a scoring rate of 72％.Significant differences were observed in the medical students with different medical professional(P ＜0.05).The total score of humanistic care quality of medical students after clinical teaching were (96.41 ± 1 1.53 ),significant higher than that of before training ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionHumanistic care quality in medical students needs to be strengthen.Clinical training in obstetrics and gynecology department combined with humanities education has important practical significance to improve the quality of medical students.

To analyze the reasons of injuries during surgical practices and explore the hazards and the corresponding preventive measures. The surgical interns don't receive enough training of injury prevention. They don't pay enough attention to the occupational prevention and are not skilled in operation, which causes high rate of sharp edged instrument injuries. Therefore, a perfect plan of education, training and treatment must be made to reduce the occupational injuries and blood sourced diseases.

Objective To investigate the effects of somatostatin on the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. Methods The expression of somatostatin mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues from 79 patients who had been admired to Yijishan Hospital from January 2004 to October 2006 was detected by nested RT-PCR. The apoptotic index of colorectal cancer cells was detected by TUNEL, and the protein expressions of somatostatin, Fas, FasL, caspase-3 and caspase-8 in colorectal cancer tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. All data were analyzed by chi-square test, q test and Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Results There was a positive correlation between the mRNA and protein expression of somatostatin (r = 0.98, P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of somatostatin in poorly and moderately differentiated colorectal cancers were significantly lower than that in well differentiated colorectal cancers (χ~2 = 10.78, 11.24, 5.27, 5.24, P < 0.05). The positive expression rates of mRNA and protein of somatostatin in papillary adenocarcinoma were significantly higher than those in mucinous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma (χ~2= 6.56, 6.99, 5.44, 7.39, P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression of somatostatin in colorectal cancer in Dukes A and B were significantly higher than that in Dukes C and D (χ~2 =5.17, 4.06, P <0.05). The apoptotic index in high or moderate somatostatin expression group was significantly higher than that in low somatostain expression group (q = 5.66, 4.21, P < 0.05), and the positive expression rates of Fas, caspase-8 and caspase-3 in high or moderate somatostatin expression group were significantly higher than those in low somatostafin expression group (χ~2= 5.48, 5.62, 6.89, 4.32, 4.19, 3.91, P <0.05). Conclusion Somatostatin plays an important role in the regulation of cell apoptosis in colorectal cancer, and the mechanism may be related to the aberrant expression of Fas/FasL.

Objective To observe the long term effects of triancinolone acetonide(T-A)as a substitution for prednisone,a maintenance therapy in treating children with nephrotic syndrome(NS).Methods Twenty-five children with idiopathic NS(10 children with simple type NS and 15 children with nephritic type NS).Prednisone treatment for 4-8 weeks would bring remission,and immunosupression was added if remission failed.Then oral prednisone was reduced to 2 mg/kg per alternate day for 2 weeks,followed by a small dose of T-A(0.5-1.0 mg/kg)intramuscular injection,once a year per month for the first year,and every other month for the second year,as for the 8 frequently relapse cases,it would be every 3 months for the third year,other 17 cases stopped T-A intramuscular injection in the third year.Two weeks after T-A treatment stopped using prednisone.The relapse and the side-effects was observed through the observation of 25 NS children's clinical manifestation,routine urine test,and biochemistry variation before and during the T-A treatment,along with a 6 to 10 years follow-up survey after T-A therapy stopped.Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS 10.0 software.Results 1.Median dose of T-A was 0.97 mg/kg per time,total doses of T-A was 18.1 mg/kg(13.5-24.4 mg/kg).2.There were 16 relapse cases by prednisone treatment,while 7 relapse cases by T-A treatment for 2 years,there existed a significant comparison(P0.05).4.There were only 4 relapsed cases in the 6-10 years of follow-up observation,the difference was sharp compared with the 16 relapsed cases before T-A treatment(P
