Objective To test the role of a bioartificial kidney which consisted of a continuous vein-vein hemofiltration (CVVH) system and renal proximal tubule cells (PTCs)device, also called the renal tubule assist device (RAD),in endotoxin shock.Methods Female crossbred pigs 25 to 30 kg received with 3×1011 bacteria / kg body weight of E.coli intraperitoneally followed by treatment with a sham RAD without cells (n=7) or a RAD with cells (n=7). Data on blood pressure, cardiac output, renal blood flow and systemic marker of inflammation (IL-6) were measured.Results Cardiac outputs and renal blood flows were higher in the RAD group with cells than in the sham RAD group after E.coli infusion (P<0.05). Plasma IL-6 levels were lower in the cell RAD group than in the sham RAD group after bacterial administration (P<0.05). A significant difference on survival time was also observed between the two groups,with(9.07 ± 0.88) h in the cell RAD group vs. (5.10 ± 0.46)h in the sham RAD group, P< 0.01.Conclusion The bioartificial kidney containing PTCs can improve cardiovascular function,reduce cytokine levels,and prolong survival time.

Objective To synthesize a quantum dot (QD) to recognize glioma cells for imaging and photodynamic therapy. Methods By one-pot aqueous approach, near infrared-emitting CdTe was produced. After detection of its physicochemical characterizations, RGD was conjugated. Emission images were observed with confocal microscopy. To test its toxicity, CdTe-RGD with various concentrations was separately added into U251 and 3T3 cells for incubation in dark circulation. To test its photodynamic effect, U251 and 3T3 cells were then irradiated for 5 ~ 60 min using 632.8 nm laser. Results The QD (Φ = 3.75 nm, PL peak wavelength =700 nm, PLQY=20%) achieved was a spherical crystal with excellent monodispersity. Under confocal microscope , U251 cells were visualized but 3T3 cells not. In dark circulation, the survival rates of both U251 and 3T3 cells were above 85%. After laser irradiation, the survival rate of U251 cells decreased to (37 ± 1.6)%with the increasing of irradiation time and CdTe-RGD concentration. Conclusion With good physicochemical characterization and low toxicity, CdTe-RGD could be applied in biomedical imaging and photodynamic therapy of gliomas.

To study the clinical application of Jintian'ge capsule in treatment of vertebral compression fracture in senile osteoporosis patients. In the study, 69 senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture patients hospitalized in our hospital between January 2012 and June 2014 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group. Patients in the control group were treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), while those in the treatment group were given Jintian'ge capsule in addition to PKP. Efforts were made to visit the patients before the surgery and in three month after that, observe and compared the vertebral height, Cobb's angle, bone density, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index between patients in the two groups. According to the findings, compared with before the treatment, patients in the two groups showed significant improvements in the vertebral height, Cobb's angle, bone density, VAS and Oswestry disability index three months after the surgery (P < 0.05); During the visit three months after the treatment, compared with the control group, the treatment group showed notable increases in all parameters (P < 0.05), particularly in the vertebral height, VAS and Oswestry disability index (P < 0.05). Based on the above findings, Jintian'ge capsule is applicable in adjuvant therapy after the osteoporotic vertebral compression facture PKP surgery.
