BACKGROUND:An increasing number of studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cels have the potential to treat acute kidney injury. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels have general characteristics of stem cels and many advantages, such as easy to isolate and culture, in vitrofast amplification, low immunogenicity and no ethical problems, which have garnered increasing attentions. OBJECTIVE:To study the repairing effects of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels on acute kidney injury in rats. METHODS: Thirty rats were randomized into three groups: a normal control group, a model group and a cel transplantation group. Rats in the model and cel transplantation were subjected to clamping the renal pedicles for 45 minutes, and then injected 1 mL of DAPI-labeled umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels or 1 mL of saline via the tail vein. In the normal control group, the kidney was only exposed with no treatment. At 7 days after treatment, the rats were kiled to take left kidney tissues for pathological observation under light microscope and right kidney for observation of DAPI-positive cel counting. Automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect serum creatinine and urea ammonia levels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, the levels of serum creatinine and urea ammonia were significantly lower in the cel transplantation group (P < 0.05), suggesting that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels can improve the kidney function to a certain extent. Pathological findings showed that the pathological damage was improved more remarkably in the cel transplantation group than the model group, and the tubular necrosis index decreased significantly in the cel transplantation group. At 7 days after cel transplantation, blue fluorescent cels were scattered on renal tissue frozen sections. These results indicate that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels can migrate to the injured tubular epithelial tissues, and promote the repair of the injured kidney.

Depression is a worldwide neuropsychiatric disorder. Currently most preclinical and clinical studies of depression focus on monoaminergic system. However, there is growing evidence which suggests that glutamatergic system plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of depression. This review focuses on the de-velopment of new antidepressants that target glutamatergic sys-tem, summarizes the current mechanisms of antidepressants, and also highlights new insights to the pathophysiology of depression.

Objeetive To probe the clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary gastric lymphoma (PGL). Methods Clinical data of 23 PGL patients identified by postoperative pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Sixteen patients underwent subtotal gastrectomy,3 patients underwent total gastrectomy,2 patients underwent palliative resection and 2 patients underwent exploratory laparotomy only. Postoperatively 21 patients received adjuvant treatment(chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy).The variables analyzed were type of surgery, histological type in accordance with Kiel's classification, Involvement of lymph nodes. Ann Arbor stage classification. Results The overall 5-year survival rate of these patients Was 80%,that of low grade malignancy patients was 90%,and of high grade malignancy was 40%.Thirteen patients were classified as stage Ⅰ E and seven as stageⅡE and three as stageⅢor Ⅳ,the 5-year survival rate was 90%,67%and 0,respectively.Nineteen patients underwent radical resection with 5-year survival rate of 92.3%.No patients undergoing palliative resection have survived more than 5 years. The prognosis of PGL with low grade malignancy and that of early stages(IE and Ⅱ E)and those undergoing radical excision was better than those with high grade malignancy, that of advanced stage(Ⅲand Ⅳ),and that undergoing palliative resection. Conclusions Preoperative diagnosis relies mainly on gastroscopy with biopsy and CT scan. For patients with early stage disease,radical resection combined with adjuvant therapy is the key factor in improving the prognosis. Chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy is useful management for patients with advanced stage disease.

Objective To investigate the change of endocrine, cAMP and potential mechanism in asthenia cold syndrome rats. Method The rats were randomly divided into normal group and asthenia cold model group. The model group were treated with intramuscular injection of hydrocortisone for 14 days, and the normal group with NS. The content of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and adenylate cyclase (AC), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), dopamine (rT3), cortisol (COR), cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) was detected by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The content of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was detected by chemiluminescence. Result The content of T3, T4, rT3, COR, cAMP were decreased, the activity of AC was decreased, the conent of ATP was increased. Conclution The function of the endocrine system was suppressed in asthenia cold rats, which can down-regulate cAMP and lead to asthenia cold syndrome.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in the aged. Methods Forty-two over 60 patients with obstruction sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) and 42 matched but less than 60 years OSAHS patients were selected, who were admitted to our hospital from February 2003 to December 2005. The clinical presentations and the results of PSG monitoring were analyzed between the two groups. Results The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and microarousal index (MAI) in the aged group were significantly lower than that in the younger group (P0.05). The number of severe OSAHS in the aged group was less than in the younger group (P

Objective:To improve the diagnostic accuracy of double contrast radiography of small and micro gastric carcinoma.Methods:The X-ray findings of small gastric carcinoma(9 cases)and micro-gastric carcinoma(3 cases) proved by surgical pathology were analyzed and compared with pathologic finding.1 misdiagnosed cases and 1 missed cases were analyzed.The double contrast films of acute gastric ulcer were reviewed and differentiated with SGC and MGC.Results:8 cases were examined by the double contrast procedure before gastroscopy,4 were diagnosed small gastric carcinoma,1 was diagnosed micro-gastric carcinoma,1 was misdiagnosed ulcer and 1 was missed,1 was suspected of being carcinoma.4 were examined by the double contrast procedure after gastroscopy,2 were small gastric carcinoma and 1 was micro-gastric carcinoma,which accorded with gastroscopy finding.One of micro-gastric carcinoma missed by gastroscopy was detected by DC.Conclusion:The imaging method of double contrast examination is the most effective one in detecting and diagnosing early gastric cancer.The detecting rate should be obviously increased by combining with gastroscopy closely.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the plasminogen activator inhibitor 1(PAI 1) gene polymorphism and cerebrovascular disease and whether it played an important role in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease Methods:The 4G/5G allele polymorphism in the PAI 1 gene promotor region were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from peripheral blood leukocytes from 60 normal controls, 65 patients with acute cerebral infarction and 31 hypertensives complicated with cerebral hemorrhage Their plasma PAI 1 activity were assayed by ELISA Results: The plasma PAI 1 activity level in the CI group was significantly higher than those in the other two groups PAI 1 level was significantly higher in 4G allele homozygous than both those in 4G/5G heterozygous and 5G homozygous Although PAI 1 level was higher in 4G/5G heterozygous than that in 5G homozygous, the difference had not reach statistically significant There were significant differences between acute cerebral infarction PAI 1 gene polymorphism and controls (P0 05), and PAI 1 levels of the 4G/4G genotype among female patients with CI were higher than those of the male patients with CI of the same genotype Conclusion: The results suggest that PAI 1 gene polymorphism may be a susceptible factor to acute cerebral infarction in Chinese, and 4G allele homozygous genotype may be the major risk factor of acute cerebral infarction, especially it may be an independent risk factor of female CI patients

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia and removal of hypoxia on learning and memory ability in Sprague-Dawley rats and the synaptophysin expression in hippocampus CA3 region.METHODS Experiments were performed on 24 three-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats,They were randomly assigned to three experimental groups(n=8/group):unhandled control group(UC),chronic intermittent hypoxia group(CIH),and Removal of hypoxia group(RH).Rats in UC group were raised normally,those in CIH group suffered 8H intermittent hypoxia everyday,the duration of experiment was 4 weeks,and those in RH group was treated as same as those in CIH group in the first 4 weeks and were raised normally in the next 4 weeks.The learning and memory ability of rats in each group were assessed with the Morris water maze test at the end of the experiments.The expression of synaptophysin in hippocampus CA3 region was investigated by immunohistochemistry staining and image analysis.RESULTS ①Morris water maze test learning scores(place navigation):From the beginning,the escape latency in CIH rats was significantly longer than that in UC rats and RH rats(P

The paper first analyzes the intrinsic need for cultural integration in hospital regrouping and sums up its content, including the integration of values, management ideas, institutional cultures and institutional frameworks. It then introduces some methods of cultural integration in hospital regrouping, such as running in on the basis of respecting human nature, resolving conflicts on the basis of being mutually tolerant, and merging completely on the basis of optimizing means of integration. The paper points out that success or failure of cultural integration in hospital regrouping depends on the thinking of the leaders. For this reason, it is imperative to enhance integration awareness and improve integration capability.
