BACKGROUND: Although cultured technique and purified method of Schwann cells (SCs) are changed successively,purity is still limited. Whether double negative selections can culture high-purified SCs still needs a further study.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of double negative selections on growth and purity of SCs.DESIGN: Controlled animal study.SETTING: Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University,and the Beijing Institution of Otolaryngology.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University and the Beijing Institution of Otolaryngology between May 2006 and July 2006. Twenty new-born Wistar rats of 3 days (without gender limitation) were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of the Chinese Medical Academy.METHODS: The sciatic nerves of rats were digested by 0.2% collagenase. ① Grouping: All the rats were divided into 4 groups with 5 each. The experimental group was depurated by differential adhesion and Ara-c for 30 minutes. SCs in the control group 1 and 2 were managed by differential adhesion and Ara-c for 30 minutes, respectively. Cells in the control group 3 were not purified. ② Evaluation: The cell growth was observed under invert microscope; growth curves were measured with MTT method in the experimental group and control group 3 to observe cell proliferation. In addition, the SCs were identified by immunocytochemistry; the culture purity was calculated (ratio of S100 positive cells in each sight).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Growth of SCs; ② immunocytochemistry stain of SCs; ③ growth curve of SCs; ④ purity of SCs.RESULTS: ① Growth of SCs: At 5 days after incubation, the SCs proliferated well. SCs were spindle, bipolar and sometimes tripolar, with obvious nuclei and a little cytoplasm. There was more fibroblast cell in the group 3 than that in experimental group. ② Growth curve: The SCs in experimental group entered into the logarithm multiplication period at the third day. ③ Immunocytochemistry: The positive-stained SCs were brown in its body and process, and arranged like swirl. The FB with spread and anomaly shape was slight blue. ④ The ratio of anti-S100 positive cells was higher in experimental group than that in group 3 (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: With the double negative selection, high-purified SCs are obtained effectively.

Objective To summarize the diagnostic and therapeutic experience on chronic pancreatitis characterized by a pancreatic mass. Methods The clinical data of 28 cases of chronic pancreatitis with mass undergoing surgical operations were retrospectively analyzed in our hospital from June1999 to June 2009. Results Among the 28 cases, 19 were diagnosed as carcinoma, 9 cases were diagnosed as chronic pancreatitis respectively before operation. Needle aspiration biopsy and/or postoperative pathology identified chronic pancreatitis in all cases. The symptom included abdominal pain (22 cases),jaundice (15 cases), and obstruction of duodenum (4 cases). Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed in 17 cases, choledochojejunostomy performed in 3 cases, pancreatojejunostomy performed in 1 case.Duodenum-preserving resection was performed in 4 cases, and resection of body and tail of the pancreas were performed in 3 cases. There was no operative death. Postoperative complications included pancreatic leakage (2 cases), severe gastroplegia (2 cases) and stress peptic ulcer with massive bleeding ( 1 case). All patients got follow-up ranging from 6 months to 5 years. Recurrence of abdominal pain developed in 7 cases after 2 years. Canceration of pancreatic mass was found respectively in 8 months, 1 year after operation in one each cases. Conclusion Preoperative differential diagnosis of chronic pancreas and pancreatic tumor was difficult. Although needle aspiration biopsy is the effective method for diagnosis, there may be still a possibility of missed diagnosis/misdiagnosis.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection versus 4 comnon medicines in the treatment of drug-induced liver damage,and to provide evidence-based reference for clinic treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane Library,CBM,CJFD,Wanfang Database and VIP Database,random-ized controlled trials (RCT) about Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection versus other medicines in the treatment of drug-induced liver damage were enrolled. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software after literature selection,data extract and quality assessment. RESULTS:A total of 13 RCTs were included,involving 1 093 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed clini-cal effective in magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group was significantly higher than tiopronin group[RD=0.29,95%CI(0.17,0.42), P<0.001] and diammonium glycyrrhizinate group [RD=0.07,95%CI(0.01,0.12),P=0.02],compared with glutathione group and compound ammonium glycyrrhetate group,there were no significant differences ;incidence of adverse reactions in magnesium iso-glycyrrhizinate group was significantly lower than diammonium glycyrrhizinate group [RD=-0.07,95%CI(-0.11,-0.03),P<0.001] and compound ammonium glycyrrhetate group[RD=-0.21,95%CI(-0.38,-0.04),P=0.02],compared with triopro-nin group and glutathione group,there were no significant differences among 3 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Magnesium isoglycyrrhiz-inate injection has better efficacy and safety than other 4 commons hepatoprotective medicines in the treatment of drug-induced liver damage. Due to the limit of methodological quality,more large-scale and long-term follow-up studies with strict designed are need-ed for the further verification of the conclusion.
