The sterile stem tips, nodular and non-nodular stem of Morinda officinalis How were cultured in vitro. The results showed that the most suitable procedure for sterilization of explants was soaking into 0.1% HgCl 2 solution for 10 to 15 minutes after pretreating with 70% ethanol for 30 seconds. MT culture medium with BA was effective to induce direct shooting of stem tips and nodular stem, the shooting rate of nodular stem being 97.5% . The optimal BA concentration was 1 mg?L -1 , the shooting rate would decrease when the concentration of BA increased. As for the induction of rooting, MT culture medium adding with 0.2 to 0.5 mg?L -1 NAA was optimal, the rooting rate being over 80.0% .

Objective:To investigate the effects of establishment of a trauma center on the therapeutic efficacy for patients with severe multiple injuries.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in the patients who had been treated at The Second Affiliated Hospital, University of South China for severe multiple injuries from October 2015 to September 2019. They were assigned into 2 groups. The study group included 102 patients who had been treated after establishment of our trauma center (from October 2017 to September 2019) while the control group 126 patients who had been treated before establishment of our trauma center (from October 2015 to September 2017). The 2 groups were compared in terms of time for emergency treatment (from admission to emergency surgery or ICU), ICU stay, hospital stay, total medical costs and mortality.Results:There was a significant difference between the 2 groups in time for emergency treatment [51 (47, 57) min for the study group versus 97 (87, 107) min for the control group] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in ICU stay [4 (1.8, 9.3) d versus 4 (2.0, 10.0) d], hospital stay [25.5 (15.8, 39.0) d versus 21.5 (12.8, 41.5) d], or total medical costs [¥41,259.0 yuan (¥26,950 yuan, ¥81,599 yuan)] ( P>0.05). There was a significant difference between the 2 groups in mortality [12.7% (13/102) for the study group versus 24.6% (31/126) for the control group] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Establishment of a trauma center can effectively shorten time for emergency treatment, improve treatment efficacy and reduce mortality for patients with severe multiple injuries.

BACKGROUND:Human amniotic epithelial cells are an important source of cells in regenerative medicine as its multipotentation, but new studies mainly focused on differentiation features and there were little research oneffect of culture in vitro on biological property of amniotic epithelial cells.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects of in vitro culture on growth, cellphenotype and differentiation capacity of human amniotic epithelial cells into cardiomyocyte-like cells, and explore the correlation of primarily cultured human amniotic epithelial cells marker SSEA-4 expression level and the change of biological characteristics of human amniotic epithelial cells.
METHODS:Primarily cultured human amniotic epithelial cells were obtained from amniotic tissues by using the same separation protocol. Human amniotic epithelial cells were cultured in vitro. The proliferation, cellphenotype and the differentiation capacity of human amniotic epithelial cells into cardiomyocyte-like cells were evaluated by means of cellcounting kit-8, flow cytometry and real-time PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The SSEA-4 positive cells in primarily cultured human amniotic epithelial cells from different fetal tissues were between 26.7%-97%, which indicated that there was great individual difference among amniotic tissue samples. Moreover, with passage, the SSEA-4 expression in human amniotic epithelial cells decreased significantly, which did not correlate with the SSEA-4 expression in primarily cultured human amniotic epithelial cells. Results indicated that there was great individual difference in SSEA-4 expression level in primarily cultured human amniotic epithelial cells from different amniotic tissue samples. Thus, it is necessary to set up clinical screening indexes to get samples with higher SSEA-4 expression stably and to control the quality of human amniotic epithelial cells. In addition, during culture period, SSEA-4 expression level was affected by culture conditions. The culture conditions of human amniotic epithelial cells should be optimized to maintain SSEA-4 expression at a high level. In addition, the differentiation capacity of human amniotic epithelial cells into cardiomyocyte-like cells was also affected by individual difference among different samples and culture conditions, which wil be further studied in the future.

Objective To investigate the effect of hydrochloric acid (HCl) stimulation and mechanical stretch on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and hyaluronan (HA) production in human lung epithelial cells. Methods Human lung epithelial cell line BEAS-2B was cultured in vitro, which was divided into phosphate-buffer saline (PBS) + static group, HCl + static group, PBS + stretch group, and HCl + stretch group respectively in the logarithmic phase. The BEAS-2B cells in two stretching groups were challenged by cyclic stretch with 20% amplitude, frequency of 0.33 Hz, sine wave of the FX-5000T system for 48 hours. The morphology changes in cells before and after stretch were observed with inverted microscope. The protein expressions of epithelial markers E-cadherin and cytokeratin-8 (CK-8) as well as mesenchymal markers vimentin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) were determined by Western Blot. The secretion of HA was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results ① It was shown by microscopic observation that BEAS-2B cells displayed cobblestone morphology, linked closely and cell polarity in PBS + static group, which did not change obviously after HCl stimulation alone. Given purely mechanical stretch after 48 hours, the cells morphology changed from cobblestone shape into long spindle, and increased intercellular space obviously. Double hit of HCl and stretch changed the cells morphology more significantly. ② It was shown by Western Blot that compared with the PBS + static group, HCl alone or combined with purely mechanical stretch after 48 hours, the expressions of E-cadherin and CK-8 were decreased, while those of vimentin and α-SMA were increased, and it was more pronounced in HCl + stretch group [the expression quantity (gray value) as base 1 in PBS + static group, E-cadherin: 0.16±0.08 vs. 1, CK-8: 0.10±0.03 vs. 1, vimentin: 3.35±0.38 vs. 1, α-SMA: 3.10±0.45 vs. 1, all P < 0.01]. ③ It was shown by ELISA that both HCl stimulation and stretch could induce BEAS-2B cells secreting HA as compared with PBS + static group (μg/L: 55.763±0.687, 63.005±0.493 vs. 49.876±1.867), and the production of HA increased more remarkably after double hit (μg/L: 78.220±1.085 vs. 49.876±1.867, P < 0.01). Conclusions Both HCl and mechanical stretch could induce EMT and increase HA secretion in human lung epithelial cells in vitro. Double hit of HCl stimulation and mechanical stretch induced EMT apparently, and further increased the production of HA.
