BACKGROUND: Many factors can lead to a large area of skin defects, and tissue-engineered artificial skil transplantation composed by seeding cel s and scaffold materials can be used for skin defect repair. OBJECTIVE: To construct the skin implantation scaffold based on human epidermal stem cel s combined with acel ular dermal matrix in nude mice. METHODS: Human epidermal stem cel s from children’s foreskin were isolated and cultured, and the skin of nude mice was obtained to prepare acel ular dermal matrix scaffold. Then, the human epidermal stem cel s were cultured on the acel ular dermal matrix scaffold to construct artificial skin. Ten Sprague-Dawley rats were equivalently randomly divided into two groups: rats treated by human epidermal stem cel s combined with acel ular dermal matrix scaffold as combined group, and those treated by simple acel ular dermal scaffold as acel ular dermal scaffold group after skin defect models were prepared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The artificial skin was milky white, soft and elastic, not easy to break, and has good flexibility, and good plasticity, and could be processed into different shapes. No obvious exudation appeared in the rat wound of two groups after repair. At 2 weeks after modeling, the transplanted skin showed good growth and skin wound healed gradual y in the combined group. In contrast, scar healing and two animals with transplant failure occurred in the acel ular dermal scaffold group. These results show that human epidermal stem cel s combined with acel ular dermal materials in nude mice can construct the tissue-engineered skin, which exerts good repair effects for skin defects in animals.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant human epidermal growth factor(rhEGF) combined with lipoic acid in the treatment of diabetic foot. METHODS:A total of 68 patients with diabetic foot were randomly divid-ed into observation group and control group with 34 cases in each group. Both groups were given conventional therapy and Lipolic acid injection 0.6 ml added into Sodium chloride injection 250 ml. ivgtt(protecting form light),qd;observation group was additionally giv-en rhEGF for external use 1 ml and vaseline on the wounds,gauze dressing,qd. Treatment course of 2 groups lasted for 7 d. Clinical efficacy,ulcer area,the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were compared between 2 groups as well as the occurrence of ADR. RESULTS:The total effective rate of observation group(94.1%)was significantly higher than that of control group(67.6%),with statistical sig-nificance (P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in ulcer area,the levels of Bcl-2 and Bax between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,ulcer area decreased significantly, the level of Bcl-2 increased significantly in 2 groups,while the level of Bax decreased significantly;the improvement of observation group was more significant than that of control group,with statis-tical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:rhEGF combined with lipoic acid is effective for diabetic foot with good safety.

Objective To investigate the influence of c-myc on the growth, proliferation, apoptosis,invasion and cell cycle of the gastric line HFE145. Methods The cDNA of c-myc was subcloned into a constitutive vector pcDNA3.1 followed by transfection in HFE145 by using liposome. Then stable expression clones (HFE-myc) were selected. The apoptosis and cell cycles were detected using flow cytometry. The growth and proliferation were analyzed by making cell growth curves and colony formation assay respectively. The ability of invasion were tested using cell migration assay. Results HFE-myc group grew faster than HFE145and HFE-pc. The cell counts of HFE-myc in five of seven days were more than those of others significantly (P<0.05). There was no difference between the two control group. Cell cycle analysis showed that HFE-myc group proliferated faster, mean proportion of cells in G2-M was about 25 % and higher significantly (P <0.05)than those of the two control groups. Results of colony formation assay showed that the mean colony formation rate of HFE-myc was 0.27 and higher than those of the control groups(P <0.05). The results of cell migration assay suggested that the cell migration rate of HFE-myc was not higher significantly than those of the control groups (P >0.05). Conclusion c-myc can promote the growth, proliferation. It can increase the proportion of cells in division stage, so promote the division. But it have little influence on the invasion of cells.

Case teaching method has been widely used in clinical medicine teaching.Because of the complicated diseases in elderly patients and the individual differences,it is difficult to achieve the goal of teaching only through several cases.Typical cases of different level are selected according to students' different learning stages and difficulty degree in longitudinal stepped case teaching.The students can gradually understand and master the theoretical knowledge through this method.In addition,their clinical thinking and the ability of solving practical problems can also be trained continuously.Preliminary practice shows that this teaching method is more suitable for the development of modern medical education and the needs of teaching.

Objective To establish the solid phase extraction (SPE) with GC/MS technology for fish poi-soning cases to determine five pesticides in fishpond. Methods By three solid phase extraction column including Oasis HLB cartridge, Bond Elut C18 and SampliQ C18, the recovery rate was compared to ex-tract and purify five pesticides in fishpond. The effects of different kinds and dosages of eluents on ex-tract rate were also reviewed. Results Using Bond Elut C18 as solid phase extraction column and 3 mL benzene as eluent, the linear range of mass concentration of five pesticides in fishpond was 1-50 μg/mL, and the correlation coefficient was 0.996 2-0.999 6. The limit of detection was 3.4-26 μg/L and the re-covery was 61.49%-102.48%. The relative standard deviations was less than or equal to 3.01%. Conclu-sion With high sensitivity, good accuracy and precision, SPE -GC/MS has simple and quick operation and less solvent. It can be applied to determination of five pesticides in fishpond.

Objective To investigate the expressions of receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) and nuclear factor κB(NF-κB) in brain hippocampus of rat with chronic fluorosis,and to reveal the mechanism of brain damage resulted from chronic fluorosis.Methods Sixty clean grade SD rats were randomly divided to three groups(20 rats in each group,10 female and 10 male) fed with different contents of fluoride,control group with normal tap-water(< 0.5 mg/L fluoride),small dosage of fluoride exposure group(10 mg/L fluoride in tap-water) and large dosage of fluoride exposure group(50 mg/L fluoride) for six months.Then the rats were killed by femoral artery bleeding and hippocampus was removed.Protein and mRNA levels of RAGE and NF-κB in the hippocampus were determined by Western blotting and quantitative real time PCR,respectively.Results As compared to the control groups[(100.00 ± 2.60)%,(100.00 ± 7.80)%],the expressions of RAGE and NF-κB at protein level in the hippocampus were significantly increased in the small dosage of fluoride exposure groups [(205.00 ± 15.30)%,(156.00 ± 12.20)%] and the large dosage of fluoride exposure groups[(232.00 ± 10.90)%,(162.00 ± 9.80)%,all P < 0.05]; for the mRNA level of RAGE and NF-κB,the expressions were higher in the small dosage of fluoride exposure groups(1.27 ± 0.09,0.83 ± 0.15) and the large dosage of fluoride exposure groups (2.60 ± 0.19,1.27 ± 0.19) than those of the control groups(0.66 ± 0.18,0.32 ± 0.08,all P< 0.05).Conclusions The increased expressions of RAGE and NF-κB in the hippocampus of rat brain are caused by chronic fluorosis,and these changes may be associated with the mechanism of nerve injury.
