BACKGROUND:Studies have found that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs)/collagen complexes can promote the ADSCs differentiation and maturation into mature adipocytes and promote angiogenesis.OBJECTIVE:To explore the biological properties of the ADSCs/collagen sponge composite material and to detect its effect on angiogenesis.METHODS:(1) ADSCs were cultured on collagen sponge (experimental group) or cultured alone (control group).After 24 hours of culture,cell adhesive rate of ADSCs was determined with flow cytometry.After 2,4,6 days of culture,cell proliferation and level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the culture medium were detected.(2) Chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes were exposed and incubated for 7 days and then divided into four groups:0.2 mL of sterile PBS was added in the blank group,0.2 mL of 2× 108/L passage 3 ADSCs suspension was added in the ADSCs group,collagen sponge was added in the collagen sponge group,and collagen sponge with 0.2 mL of 2× 108/L passage 3 ADSCs suspension was added in the composite group.After 7 days of incubation,the microvessel count around the chorioallantoic membrane was measured.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The cell adhesive rate of ADSCs to collagen sponge reached to (93.04±0.67)%.(2)The absorbance value (at 6 days of culture) and level of VEGF (at 4 and 6 days of culture) in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05).(3) Compared with the blank group,the number of microvessels was significantly higher in the ADSCs,collagen sponge and composite groups (P < 0.05).Moreover,higher amount of microvessels were found in the composite group than the ADSCs and collagen sponge groups (P < 0.05).To conclude,ADSCs can adhere well to the collagen sponge with good biocompatibility and their combined use can improve angiogenesis further by enhancing cell proliferation and VEGF secretion of ADSCs.

Objective: To analyze the curative effects of traditional Chinese herbal decoction on breast carcinoma patients in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by meta-analysis to provide evidences for doctors in treating breast carcinoma patients who were in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by traditional Chinese herbal decoction.Method: Published papers about the curative effects of traditional Chinese herbal decoction on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in breast carcinoma patients in clinical random control experiment were collected. To analyze the prescription rules and do metaanalysis in the eligible ones by the software RevMan5.2. Evaluate clinical effects of traditional Chinese medicine in treating breast carcinoma patients who were in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.Results: Ten references and 648 cases in total meeting eligibility criteria were included. Compared with pure anthracycline-based chemotherapy drugs, the breast carcinoma patients who received Anthracycline-based chemo therapy drugs with traditional Chinese medicine, their ECG changes less, their difference was statistically significant (OR=0.23, 95% CI (0.16, 0.16), P <0.00001) . They had better cardiac function. the difference was statistically significant (OR=0.18, 95% CI (0.09, 0.09), P <0.00001) . Their left ventricular systolic function improved. Their difference was statistically significant (MD = 3.82, 95%CI (0.29, 0.29), P=0.03 < 0.05) . The myocardial enzyme spectrum, cardiac troponin I and myocardial troponin T were improved. Conclusion: To some extent, decoction of Chinese herbal medicine has effects on breast carcinoma patients with myocardial anthracycline-based drugs damage.

Objective To evaluate the application of high-throughput shell vial assay in a clinical laboratory for detection of respiratory viruses from patients with ILI in Guangzhou between January and June, 2009. Methods Six hundred and fifty-two pharyngeal swab specimens were taken from ILI patents. Centrifugation-enhanced shell vials including 4 cell lines (MDCK, Hep-2, LLC-MK2 and MRC-5) were used for culture of respiratory viruses for 2-3 days. The cultures were identified by observation of cytopathic effect (CPE) , hemmaglution or hemmadsorption test as well as immunofluorescence staining. Results A total of 161 swab samples (24.69% ,161/652) were shown to have any one of the 5 common respiratory viruses including influenza A viruses ( 38. 51% , 62/161 ), influenza B virus ( 54. 65% , 88/161 ), parainfluenza viruses (4. 96% , 8/161 ) , adenovirus ( 1. 24% , 2/161 ), and respiratory syncytial virus (0. 62% ,1/161). The turnaround time was 2d for influenza viruses, 3d for adenovirus and parainfluenza viruses respectively. Conclusions (1) The shell vial method was effective, rapid and high throughout for the detection of respiratory viruses in clinical laboratories.(2)Influenza viruses were dominant in the swab samples from patients with ILI in Guangzhou between January and June with the highest appearance in the summer influenza B vires was the most common pathogen in patients with ILI in this study.

Objective To quantify the setup errors for the different anatomical sites of patients who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with linear accelerator on-board kilovolt fan beam CT(kV-FBCT) as non-isocenter IGRT and megavolt cone beam CT (MV-CBCT) as isocenter IGRT. Methods A retrospective analysis was performedon 70 patients who underwent radiotherapy, kV-FBCT, and/or MV-CBCT scans after each routine setup prior to IMRT. The average displacement (M), systematic error (Σ), and random error (б) at different treatment sites in the left-right, anterior-posterior, and cranial-caudal directions were calculated according to the individual displacements. The formula 2.5Σ+0.7б was used to estimate the PTV margin in respective direction. For each single patient, the root mean square in three directions was used as 3D displacement. Results A total of 1130 displacements were recorded in the 70 patients. The PTV margin was estimated to be 1.9-3.1 mm in head and neck cancer, 2.8-5.1 mm in thoracic cancer, 4.6-5.1 mm in breast cancer, 3.0-5.5 mm in upper abdominal cancer, and 3.5-6.8 mm in pelvic tumor. For the 3D mean displacements, the head and neck, thoracic, breast, upper abdominal, and pelvic cancer were 2.4±1.0, 4.0±1.6, 4.1±2.0, 4.6±2.1, and 4.6±2.1 mm, respectively. The average 3D displacement obtained by kV-FBCT and MV-CBCT were 4.1 and 3.4 mm, respectively (

Objective:To explore the current situation of nurses′growth mindset ability and study its related influencing factors, so as to serve as a reference for improving nurses′ growth mindset ability.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey, and 310 nurses from 5 tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province, Shanghai City, and Guangdong Province were selected as the survey subjects from April to June 2022 using convenience sampling method. The General Information Questionnaire, the Nurses′ Growth Mindset Assessment Scale, the Psychological Adaptability Self-Assessment Scale, the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory Brief Version and the Team Psychological Safety Atmosphere Scale were used to investigate the growth mindset ability of nurses and its influencing factors.Results:Finally, 307 valid questionnaires were collected. There were 46 males and 261 females, aged 20-50 years old. The scores of the Nurses′ Growth Mindset Assessment Scale were (108.89 ± 29.32) points, the scores of the Psychological Adaptability Self-Assessment Questionnaire were 10.0(0.0, 20.0) points, the scores of the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory Brief Scale were (162.37±43.82) points, and the scores of the Team Psychological Safety Atmosphere Scale were (55.84 ± 15.12) points. The highest education level ( B = 0.028, P = 0.040), professional title ( B = 0.033, P = 0.032), family economic support ( B = 0.025, P = 0.048), Chinese big five personality ( B = 0.039, P = 0.037), team psychological safety atmosphere ( B = 0.600, P<0.001) and psychological adaptability ( B = 0.313, P<0.001) had a significant effect on nurses′ growth mindset ability. Conclusions:The growth mindset ability of nurses is at the upper middle level, and the educational background, professional title, family economic support, personality characteristics, team psychological safety atmosphere and psychological adaptability of nurses are the significant influencing factors. Hospitals, social and health education systems can combine influencing factors to provide a harmonious working atmosphere for nurses, focusing on the improvement of nurses′ academic qualifications and the promotion of professional titles, cultivating nurses′ psychological adaptability, improving nurses′growth mindset ability, and improving the overall quality of the nursing service team.
