Stem cell is a kind of cells characterized by self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential;its committed differentiation is the basis of development,growth and renewal in organisms.Recently interest in controlling the differentiation of stem cells is rapidly increasing.The common modulating factors in stem cell differentiation include transcription factors,growth factors and intercellular interactions mediated by membrane proteins.It is shown that the expression level of transcription factors may have important influence on the control,maintenance and recovery of stem cell properties.The latter two factors,growth factors and intercellular interactions,may play a key role in modulating the directional differentiation of stem cells exogenously.This review mainly introduces current research status about those modulating factors in stem cell differentiation.

Objective To investigate the relation of the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2)and-9(MMP-9)with polymyositis/dermatomyositis(PM/DM).Methods Blood samples were obtained from 8 patients with PM,12 patients with DM and 10 normal human controls.Real-time quantitative RT-PCR and Western-blot were applied to examine the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 respectively in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)of these patients.Results The mRNA expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the PBMC of patients with PM or DM were 2.41 and 1.66 folds as high as those of the normal controls,respectively;these difierences were significant between the two groups.Increased expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were also noted in the patients with PM or DM.Conclusion MMP-2 and MMP-9 may play a part in the development of polymyositis and dermatomyositis.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab injection combined with complex trabeculectomy in treatment of neovascular glaucoma. Methods Totally 38 patients(38 eyes) of neovascular glaucoma were divided into two groups of 19 cases in each randomly. Patients in treatment group were treateded with complex trabeculectomy after intravitreal injection 0. 05 mL ( 0.5 mg ) ranibizumab 4 - 7 days. Patients in control group were treateded with cyclocryotherapy. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, iris neovascularization and complications were observed. Results The average intraocular pressure of preoperation and postoperation 1 month in treatment group were (6.5±1.7) kPa and (2.1±1.2) kPa.The difference of intraocular pressure before and after operation was significant. The average preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure in control group were (6.7±1.9) kPa and (2.5±1.2) kPa . The postoprative intraocular pressure of treatment group was lower than that of control group, the difference was statistically significant( P< 0.05). Visual acuity and operative reaction after operation in treatment group were superior to those in control group. Conclusion Intravitreal injection of ranibizumab combined with complex trabeculectomy in treatment of neovascular glaucoma is safe and effective and worth in clinical application.

How to select and organize the content of course is an important component in curriculum reform. The special part for medicine in medical physics has characteristics of medical college, and is essential. The integration of this part is difficulty in curriculum reform of medical physics. In detail, the corresponding part of physics for medicine is integrated into a topic, which followed the part of classical physics. We adopted the method of special-topic teaching. Based on teaching experiences and in combination with the practical condition of the medical college, this paper selects and recombines some course content for medicine from medical physics, which is adopted by five-year medical students. Furthermore, some teaching requirement and guidance suggestion are presented.

Objective To explore whether living in rural areas may reduce the risk of atopic sensitization. Methods The standardized questionnaires were answered by the parents of 2 986 school children during 2004 to 2005. Radioallergosorbent technique-fluorescence enzyme immunoassay (RAST-FEIA) was used to determine the level of specific IgE in the serum of the children. The risk factors were analyzed by Logistic regression. Results Compared with the subjects living in the towns from birth, the risk of atopic sensitization was lowest in the subjects living in the villages from birth (OR=0.32, 95%CI: 0.11-0.62) and it was moderate in the subjects who had relocated from village to town (OR=0.51, 95%CI: 0.28-0.92), there was a significant trend among them (P for trend

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of biapenem and levofloxacin in the treatment of pulmonary infection caused by extensive drug resistant bacillus.Methods 182 patients with pulmonary infection caused by extensive drug resistant bacillus from the department of respiratory in our hospital were selected and divided into two groups, 91 cases in the control group were given cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium +levofloxacin treatment, 91 cases in the experiment group received biapenem +levofloxacin treatment, serum levels of white blood cell count(WBC), high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),serum amyloid A(SAA), recovery time of clinical symptoms, signs and laboratory examination, the clinical effect, bacteriological effect and incidence of adverse reactions were compared after treatment.Results The effective rate in the control group(74.72%)was lower than the experiment group(86.81%), with significant difference (P<0.05); compared with the control group, the bacterial clearance rate was higher, bacterial unclearance rate, partial clearance rate, replacement rate were higher in the experiment group after treatment, serum levels of WBC,hs-CRP,PCT,SAA were lower after treatment, recovery time of body temperature, pulmonary signs, abnormal shadow of chest X-ray, WBC, hs-CRP were shorter, with significant difference ( P<0.05 ); there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups.Conclusion The clinical effect of biapenem and levofloxacin in the treatment of pulmonary infection caused by extensive drug resistant bacillus was exactly, can effectively remove bacteria, control infection, shorten the treatment time, and the safety was high.

Determination of cyanide in water was performed by headspace gas chromatogaphy (HS GC).The determination of headspace gases produced by the reaction of cyanide and miamine in headspace container could be completed by HS GC on its first analysis.Some subjects,such as the interference from 22 kinds of common ions in water,the required amount of derivative agent,the selection and conditions of separation column were also studied in this assay.The results showed that the imported column could be replaced by GDX 102 column,which had perfect separation efficiency.The lowest detectable concentration and detection limit were 0.8 ?g/L and 0.040 ?g respectively.The calibration curve revealed linear relationship in the range of cyanide from 0 ?g/L to 20 ?g/L.The standard relative deviation and recovery rate were below 10% and 86%~107% respectively.Parameters metioned above in this assay presented no significant differences compared with national standard assay.It was suitable for analysis of the concentration of cyanide in drinking water due to its satisfactory accuracy and precision according with the requirement of sanitary analysis.It was a simple,rapid and practical analytical technique.

The deficiency theories of dyslexia are quite contradictory and the cross-cultural studies in recent years mainly focused on whether the dyslexics among cultures shared the same cognitive profile or just based on the language. This study used Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) imaging to measure the regional cerebral blood volume (BV) and the changes of cerebral activation in the left prefrontal cortex of 12 Chinese dyslexic children and their 12 age-matched normal controls during the Paced Visual Serial Addition Test (PVSAT). Results showed that the scores of PVSAT of dyslexic children were significantly lower than those of the normal children (t=3.33, P<0.01). The activations of the left prefrontal cortex in the normal group were significantly greater than those of dyslexic children (all P<0.01). Our results indicated that Chinese dyslexia had a general deficiency in working memory and this may be caused by the abnormal metabolic activity of brain blood volume in the left prefrontal cortex and the deficits in brain function might be the basis of neuropathology of Chinese dyslexia. Present study supports the difference on brain activation of dyslexics from different languages may be caused by the same cognitive system related to reading.

Medical biochemistry is a very important basic curricular in medicine teaching.But its theory is abstract,so it is difficult for teachers to teach.On the other hand,the students feel it hard to learn too,because they don't know how these theories are applied.We have applied case-based teaching in medical biochemistry teaching.These methods effectively improve students' enthusiasm to study and to train their scientific thinking in preliminary.Following this way we have explored a new way to elevate teaching qualities and search new teaching model and to further reform present medical biochemistry teaching model.
