BACKGROUND: Differentiation of neural stem calls (NSCs) was mediated by many environmental factors. Several factors can induce NSCs to differentiate into neurons in varying degrees and it is now a focus on the control of NSCs differentiation.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of combination of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor (BDNF) on the differentiation of NSCs into neurons.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The in vitro cytology observation was performed at the Neurotomia Laboratory of China Medical University in May 2008.MATERIALS: Three adult male SD rats were provided by Experimental Animal Center of China Medical University.METHODS: Dispositions to the rats were consistent with ethical standards of animals. The rat brain hippocampus was removed sterilely. After trypsin digestion, NSCs were cultured in serum-free medium. Cell suspension was prepared and diluted when the diameter of the fourth passage of clone sphere was 200 μm by mixture of DMEM/F12 containing 2% B27, 20 μg/L of epidermal growth factor (EGF), and 20 μg/L bFGF. Monoclonal calls were passagad. NSCs were divided into blank control, bFGF, BDNF and bFGF+BDNF groups by different growth factors added into the media. Fetal bovine serum of 0.1 volume fraction was added in blank control group. The media in the other three groups were added bFGF, BDNF and bFGF+BDNF respectively for 1 week.The concentration of bFGF was 10 μg/L and the concentration of BDNF was 200 μg/L.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Immunocytochemistry staining was used to identify NSCs as well as to detect the differentiation of NSCs into neurons.RESULTS: The monoclonal calls expressed nestin and the differentiated call expressed neuron specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Compared to blank control group, the proportion NSCs into neurons in the bFGF group, BDNF group and bFGF+BDNF group were much higher (t=3.409-7.558, P < 0.05), with the highest in bFGF+BDNF group (t =7.558, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Combination of bFGF and BDNF can promote the differentiation of adult hippocampus NSCs into neurons.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of thoracic drainage by central venous catheter in critical patients with pleural effusion. Methods A prospective study was carried out,in which 46 critical patients with pleural effusion admitted to department of critical care medicine were included,and according to the types of their primary diseases to make matched pairs,and they were divided into two groups:conventional drainage control group and central venous catheter drainage observation group(each 23 cases). The drainage effect and complications were compared between the two groups,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)score, quantitative pleural effusion and the counts of white blood cells(WBC)and of platelets(PLT),the levels of prothrombin time(PT),procalcitonin(PCT)and C-reactive protein(CRP),etc. were measured on the baseline and 24 hours after the operation. Results There were no significant differences in the APACHEⅡ score,quantitative pleural effusion,amount and duration of drainage,as well as the levels of WBC,PLT,PT and PCT between group control and observation(all P>0.05). The post-drainage CRP(μg/L)level in group observation was much lower than that in group control(77.26±67.20 vs. 106.13±66.23,P<0.01). There was a trend that the incidence of complication in group control was higher than that in group observation(26.1%vs. 4.3%),but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusions In the comparison between the conventional drainage and thoracic drainage with central venous catheter,the therapeutic effects for treatment of critical patients with pleural effusion were similar, but the stress was milder and the incidence of complications was lower in the latter group. Therefore,the thoracic drainage with central venous catheter is a safe,effective and alternative method to substitute the conventional drainage for critical patients with pleural effusion.

Objective To examine the difference in the onset of and recovery from the neuro-muscular (N-M) blockade induced by rocuronium measured by acceleromyography of corrugator supercilli (CS) muscle and adductor pollicis (AP) muscle and the implication for clinical N-M monitoring. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅲ patients aged 32-65yr undergoing elective cholecystectomy or gastrectomy under combined general-epidural anesthesia (CGEA) were randomized to receive rocuronium 0.6 mg?kg-1 (group A, n = 20) or 0.9 mg?kg-1 (group B, n = 20) to facilitate tracheal intubation. Patients with N-M transmission disease, serious heart and lung disease or hepato-renal dysfunction were excluded. Epidural was performed at T8-9 or T9-10 . The level of epidural block was below T4. N-M blockade was measured by acceleromyography (TOF-WATCH SX Organon Teknika) of AP muscle at the thumb and CS muscle at the superciliary arch simultaneously. General anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05 mg ? kg-1 , propofol 2 mg ? kg-1 , fentanyl 3 ?g ? kg-1 and rocuronium 0.6 or 0.9 mg ? kg-1 . Tracheal intubation was performed at 80 % depression of T1 . The intubation condition (rated as excellent, good, medium, poor). The onset time (time from injection of rocuronium to maximal depression of T1) and the time of return to 25% and 75% of the control height of T1 were recorded and recovery index (RI) was calculated. Results The onset time of N-M block of CS muscle was (111?36)s at 0.6 mg?kg-1 and (74 ? 26)s at 0.9 mg?kg-1 and that of AP muscle was (106 ? 34) s (0.6 mg?kg-1 ) and (84?28) s (0.9 mg?kg-1 ) . The onset time produced by 0.9 mg?kg-1 was significantly shorter than that produced by 0.6 mg?kg-1 . At 0.6 mg?kg-1 80% depression of T1 of AP muscle was equal to 66% (52%-81 % ) depression of T1 of CS muscle and only 2 out of 10 patients showed good intubation condition. At 0.9 mg?kg-1 80% depression of T1 of AP muscle was epual to 89% (76%-93%) depression of T1 of CS muscle and all patients showed good intubation condition. The recovery of CS muscle from relaxation was faster than that of AP muscle. Conclusion There are differences in the onset of and recovery from the N-M blockade induced by rocuronium between CS and AP muscle. Monitoring N-M blockade of CS muscle is better for intubation.

BACKGROUND:Currently, bioactive glass and polylactic acid have been used in clinical dentistry and plastic surgery; however, their therapeutic outcomes are not satisfactory, because the material properties have some limitations. OBJECTIVE:To explore the cytocompatibility of oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass guided bone regeneration membrane. METHODS:Bioactive glass and polylactic acid were used as the basic materials to prepare polylactic acid membrane, polylactic acid and bioactive glass composite membrane and oxygen plasme-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass composite membrane, al of which were used to culture MG63 cels. Cel adhesion rate, cel proliferation rate and alkaline phosphatase activity of MG63 cels on these three kinds of membranes were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the growth of time, in these three groups of membranes, the cel adhesion rate and cel proliferation rate were al significantly increased. Alkaline phosphatase activity showed a decreasing trend after the first increase, and reached its peak at the 7thday of culture. The cel adhesion rate and cel proliferation rate in oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups, while the cel adhesion and proliferation rates in polylactic acid and polylactic acid and bioactive glass groups were similar. At the 3rd day of culture, the alkaline phosphatase activity in the polylactic acid and bioactive glass group and oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass group was significantly higher than that in the polylactic acid group. At the 7th and 14th days, there was no significant difference in the alkaline phosphatase activity among these three groups. These results show that oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass composite membrane has good biocompatibility, which can better promote cel adhesion, proliferation and matrix secretion from osteogenic cels.
