Objective To study the integration and differentiation of spinal neural stem cells after transplantation into mice retina. Methods Primary cultured neural stem cells were transplanted into mice retinas,then the integration ratio and the differentiation pattern of the donor cells were estimated with immunohistochemistry method. Results 1.The integration ratio decreased with the age of the host mice.2.The grafts differentiate into both glia and neuronal cells after transplantation.Conclusion The integration and differentiation of the primary cultured spinal NSC were modulated by both endogenous and exdogenous factors,which provided new proofs for the study of the in vivo differentiation of the NSC.

Objective To study the influencing elements in x-Gal staining method and optimize the reactive conditions so that nonspecific background can be eliminated and grafted exogenous cells carrying LacZ gene can be discerned correctly. Methods C17 2 cells (carrying lzcZ gene) were injected into the right lateral ventricle both in the adult and newborn animals. After one week they were perfused using two methods, then the slices were stained at different pH and incubating time respectively. The X-gal positive cells in hippocampus were counted under light microscope. Results Background staining in this method has close correlation with the species and age of the host animals and it decreases when pH is higher or incubating time is shorter. The results are the best when pH 9 5 and the incubating time is 1*!h.Conclusion The reliability of X-gal staining method depends on optimization of several parameters, including pH, incubating time, perfusion etc. It is necessary to establish the correspondent controls.;

Objective To evaluate the influence of antiplatelet therapy prior to intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients receiving IVT with recombinant tissue type plasminogen activator (rt-PA).Methods Researches about the safety of pre-existing antiplatelet treatment on AIS patients undergoing rt-PA IVT published before 31st December 2013 were retrieved based on internet databases.A meta-analysis of included clinical trials was performed by RevMan 5.2 and Stata 12.0 software.Simultaneously,funnel plot and Egger's test were used to evaluate the publication bias.Results A total of 10 papers were included.Eight researches based meta-analysis showed that pre-existing antiplatelet therapy increased the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH ; OR =1.67,95％ CI 1.44-1.93,P ＜ 0.01),6 researches based analysis suggested pre-existing antiplatelet therapy increased the risk of any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH ; OR =1.23,95％ CI 1.04-1.47,P ＜ 0.05) and 3 trials based analysis indicated the functional independence of patients receiving antiplatelet treatment was a bit worse than control group (OR =0.86,95％ CI0.80-0.93,P ＜0.01).Funnel plots and Egger' s test showed that there was no significant publication bias (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Antiplatelet therapy might increase the risk of post thrombolysis SICH and ICH,and their 3-month function independence is not so satisfied as those who had no antiplatelet agents before IVT.However,this review has limitations and the above results should be validated in future large prospective clinical studies.

Aim To probe the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of APS against DM rats by measuring the level of TNF-?,as well as observing the change of caspase-3 protein in pancreatic beta cells.Methods Thirty DM rats induced by STZ were randomly divided into three groups:DM group,APS low dosage group,APS high dosage group,and another 10 normal rats were taken as the control group.The drug was given for 6 weeks.The research included measuring the level of TNF-? in serum and the expression of caspase-3 protein in pancreatic beta cells.Results ① The level of TNF-? was higher in model group than that of the normal group(P

Objective: To summarize the treatment experience of patients with different degree of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by inhalation of white smoke from burning smoke bomb. Methods: A batch of 13 patients with different degree of ARDS caused by inhalation of white smoke from burning smoke bomb, including 2 patients complicated by pulmonary fibrosis at the late stage, were admitted to our unit in February 2016. Patients were divided into mild (9 cases), moderate (2 cases), and serious (2 cases) degree according to the ARDS Berlin diagnostic criteria. Patients with mild and moderate ARDS were conventionally treated with glucocorticoid. Patients with severe ARDS were sequentially treated with glucocorticoid and pirfenidone, and ventilator-assisted breathing, etc. were applied. The vital signs, arterial oxygenation index, changes of lung imaging, pulmonary ventilation function, general condition, and the other important organs/systems function were timely monitored according to the condition of patients. The above indexes were also monitored during the follow-up time of 10-15 months post injury. Data were processed with SPSS 18.0 statistical software. Results: (1) The symptoms of respiratory system of patients with mild and moderate ARDS almost disappeared after 3 days′ treatment. Their arterial oxygenation index was decreased from post injury day 1 to 4, which almost recovered on post injury day 7 and completely recovered one month post injury. The symptoms of respiratory system of patients with severe ARDS almost disappeared at tranquillization condition 1-3 month (s) post injury. Their arterial oxygenation index was decreased from post injury day 3 to 21, which gradually recovered 1-3 month (s) post injury and was normal 15 months post injury. (2) Within 24 hours post injury, there was no obvious abnormality or only a little texture enlargement of lung in image of chest CT or X-rays of patients with mild and moderate ARDS. One patient with moderate ARDS had diffuse patchy and ground-glass like increased density shadow (pulmonary exudation for short) at post injury hour 96. Chest iconography of all patients with mild and moderate ARDS showed no abnormalities 10 months post injury. Both lungs of each of the two patients with severe ARDS showed obvious pulmonary exudation at post injury hours 45 and 75, respectively. One patient with severe ARDS showed no abnormality in chest image 10 months post injury, but there was still a small mesh-like increased density shadow in double lobes with slight adhesion of pleura in the other patient with severe ARDS 15 months post injury. (3) All patients showed severe restrictive hypoventilation when admitted to hospital. Pulmonary ventilation function of patients with mild and moderate ARDS recovered to normal one month post injury, and they could do exercises like running, etc. Pulmonary ventilation function of one patient with severe ARDS recovered to normal 6 months post injury, and the patient could do exercises like running, etc. The other patient with severe ARDS showed mild restrictive hypoventilation 15 months post injury and could do exercises like rapid walking, etc. (4) The condition of all mild and one moderate ARDS patients was better on post injury day 3, and they were transferred to the local hospital for subsequent treatment and left hospital on post injury day 21. One patient with moderate ARDS healed and left hospital on post injury day 29. Patients with severe ARDS healed and left hospital on post injury day 81. During the follow-up time of 10-15 months post injury, the other important organs/systems of all patients showed no abnormality, and there was no adverse reaction of glucocorticoid like osteoporosis, femoral head necrosis, or metabolic disorder. Two patients with severe ARDS did not have any adverse reaction of pirfenidone like liver function damage, photosensitivity, anorexia, or lethargy. Conclusions Early enough and uninterrupted application of glucocorticoid can significantly reduce the ARDS of patients caused by inhalation of white smoke from burning smoke bomb. Sequential application of glucocorticoid and pirfenidone can effectively treat pulmonary fibrosis at the late stage.

Bilateral axillary Paget's disease in men is a rare occurrence with limited reports on its diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Here, we report the case of a 55-year-old Korean male, who presented with a palpable mass and eczematous skin lesion on the left axilla. An incisional biopsy and histopathologic examination indicated invasive ductal carcinoma with Paget's disease arising in the accessory breast. Magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography revealed no malignancy in the normal breast and other organs. The patient was subjected to a wide excision, wherein the left axillary lymph node was dissected, followed by the administration of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy. After 17 months of disease-free survival, the patient was diagnosed with Paget's disease of the contralateral accessory breast. He underwent wide excision surgery along with radiation therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of bilateral extramammary Paget's disease in a male.
