Results Compared with controls, ransplanted MSCs were found in liver, lung, kidney, MODS rabbits were physically improved obviously. Conclusions MSCs are able to integrate into host without any rejection reaction, and capable of ameliorating MODS evidently.

To observe the clinic effects and complication of Ahmed glaucoma valve(AGV) implantation in refractory glaucoma by using the 23G syringe needle direct puncture the sclerotic tunnel.METHODS: Forty-four cases ( 44 eyes ) of refractory glaucoma underwent AGV implantation by useing the 23G syringe needle direct puncture the sclerotic tunnel. The intraocular pressure ( lOP ) , visual acuity, and complication of post - operation were contrasted with those of pre-operation.RESULTS:The success rate was 84. 1%, the mean preoperative lOP in research group was 52. 1±10. 1mmHg, and the last follow up mean lOP was 15. 6 ± 6. 9mmHg. Compared with the preoperative visual acuity, 11 eyes increased, 27 eyes had no changes and 6 eyes decreased. The main post-operative complications included shallow anterior chamber ( 4 eyes ) , choroidal detachment ( 3 eyes), drainage tube shift (1 eye), hyphema (6 eyes), drainage tube blockage ( 1 eye ) , expulsive choroidal hemorrhage (1 eye), and fiber wrap of drainage tray (5 eyes) .CONCLUSlON:AGV implantation by direct puncture the sclerotic tunnel is feasible and easy. lt avoids of making sclerotic petal and the xenogenic sclera transplanting, simplified the operation technique, prevent the leakage of around tube. The shallow anterior chamber rate is lower. lt is an effective procedure for refractory glaucoma.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of resuscitation-inducing acupuncture for post-stroke dysphasia. Methods The randomized controlled trials ( RCTs) of resuscitation-inducing acupuncture for post-stroke dysphasia were searched in the domestic and overseas databases such as CBM, CNKI, Weipu VIP, Wanfang Data, PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase and the Cochrane Library ( from the founded date to December of 2014) . Literature screening, information extracting and literature quality assessment were done by 2 reviewers independently. RevMan5.3.0 software was used for Meta analysis. Results A total of 8 RCTs were included into the analysis, involving in 766 cases. The results of Meta analysis showed:( 1) for patients in the recovery stage of stroke, 4-week resuscitation-inducing acupuncture combined with routine treatment including internal medicine plus swallowing function training or not had better efficiency than the control group without resuscitation-inducing acupuncture (P<0.001) ; (2) for patients in the acute stage, the difference of efficiency between the combination group and the control group was insignificant (P=0.05); (3) The efficiency of resuscitation-inducing acupuncture combined with routine treatment for the complication of pulmonary infection stayed uncertain. Conclusion Resuscitation-inducing acupuncture combined with routine treatment is recommended to the patients with dysphasia in the recovery stage of recovery. But the cure time window, treatment course and effectiveness evaluation still need to be confirmed by more large-scale, high-quality randomized controlled trials.

Aim To investigate the effects of mmLDL on the up-regulation ofα1 receptors in moues mesenter-
ic arteries. Methods Mice tail intravenous injection of mmLDL was used . Vitro sensitive myograph was empl-
oyed to examine Noradrenaline ( NA) induced vascular contraction on mice mesenteric artery, and the mRNA and protein expressions ofα1 andα2 receptors were an-alyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot, respective-ly. Results mmLDL significantly increased NA in-duced concentration-contractile curve, and the data of Emax and pEC50 were from ( 122. 61 ± 9. 40 )% and (5. 65 ± 0. 05 ) in normal saline ( NS ) group to (161. 01 ± 6. 90 )% and ( 6. 20 ± 0. 08 ) in mmLDL group (P <0. 01, P <0. 01), respectively. The α1 adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin shifted the concentra-
tion-contractile curve induced by NA towards right. Af-ter using mmLDL, the mRNA and protein levels of α1 adrenoceptor were significantly increased, but the mR-NA and protein levels of α2 adrenoceptor were not changed. Conclusion Tail intravenous injection of mmLDL enhances the vascular expressions of α1 adre-noceptors and the contractile effects mediated byα1 ad-renoceptors.

Phosphoproteome is the whole complement of phosphorylated proteins in a cell, tissue or organism, and has become an interesting study subject since the discovery of phosphorylation as a key regulatory mechanism of cell life. Phosphoproteomics is a method which studies the compact of the phosphorylated proteins, expression and modification, interaction and association, rule of the regulatory and so on. Recently, phosphoproteomics is widely used in cancer research. It will provide important information in cancer research, cancer diagnosis, and therapy.

Objective To explore the impact of berberine on serum levels of insulin resistance and cytokines in schizophrenia patients treated with risperidone. Methods Sixty-four schizophrenia patients treated with risperidone were randomized to berberine group (n=31) and control group (n=33). The fasting plasma blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin (Fins) were detected before and after treatment in two groups. The homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. The serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were evaluated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay before and after the treatment. Results Compared with control group and pre-treatment group, the levels of FBG, Fins, HOMA-IR, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased after treatment in berberine group (P<0.05). The FBG level was significantly higher, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-αwere significantly lower, after treatment in control group (P < 0.01). There were no significant changes in Fins and HOMA-IR after treatment (P > 0.05). There was positive correlation between HOMA-IR and IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in berberine group (r=0.316, 0.351 and 0.401, P<0.01). Conclusion Berberine can significantly decrease FBG, Fins, HOMA-IR, IL-
1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in schizophrenia patients treated with risperidone. The HOMA-IR level is closely correlated with IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-αlevels.
