BACKGROUND: With the rapid development of tissue engineering, a single biological scaffold material is hard to meet the needs of tissue engineering. Therefore, composite scaffolds with excellent performance will be obtained by combining two or more kinds of materials.OBJECTIVE: To detect the adherence and proliferation of dental pulp stem cells on the Chitosan-fibrin composite scaffold.METHODS: Dental pulp stem cells were isolated and extracted from C57 neonatal rats through modified enzyme-digestion method, and subcultured to the third generation, followed by adipogenic and osteogenic induction in vitro. Then, induced cells were identified. The chitosan-fibrinogen composite scaffold was prepared, and the pore size and porosity were determined. The chitosan-fibrin composite scaffold was co-cultured with passage 3 dental pulp stem cells to observe the cell proliferation by MTT assay, and the morphology of the composite scaffold, cell adhesion,proliferation and extracellular matrix secretion were observed under scanning electron microscope. In addition, the cells were inoculated directly on the bottom of culture plate as controls.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The dental pulp stem cells were successfully isolated and cultivated, and positive for osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. The pore size and porosity of the composite scaffold was (105.32±22.10) μm and (87.714±1.276)%, respectively. The S-shaped proliferation curve in the experimental group was similar with that in the control group; the proliferation rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group after 4-8 days of culture (P < 0.05). At the 2nd day after co-culture, the cells adhered tightly and grew well onto the composite scaffold; at the 4th day, enlarged cells began to proliferate obviously with abundant extracellular matrix; the surface and pores of the scaffold were full of cells at the 6th day. These results indicate that the chitosan-fibrin composite scaffold is suitable for the adhesion and proliferation of dental pulp stem cells.

[Objective] To investigate the efficacy of Xiangsha Yangwei Wan (XYW) on the inhibition of chemotherapy-induced chemical gastritis and upper gastrointestinal symptoms. [Methods] A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was carried out in 87 cases of maligant tumor confirmed by histopathological and cytological examination. All the cases were treated with chemotherapy regimen of adriamycin ( ADM) , adcarbazine ( DTIC) , platinum-based agents, irinotecan (CPT-11) and fluorouraeil (5-FU). Meanwhile, 41 cases in group A were also treated with dexamethason and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist as an essential anti-emesis and with XYW to regulate gastrointestinal function; other 46 cases in group B were given dexamethason and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist only. Seven days after treatment, incidences of chemical gastritis and upper gastrointestinal symptoms were observed and compared between the two groups. [Results] Seven days after chemotherapy, upper gastrointestinal symptoms and signs were relieved in 95.1% (39/41) of the patients of group A and in 76.1 % (35/46) of group B; the occurring rate of chemical gastritis with symptoms was 2.4% (1/41) in group A and 19.6% (9/46) in group B, the differences being significant statistically between the two groups( P - 0.0122) . [ Conclusion ] XYW has an inhibitory effect on chemotherapy-induced chemical gastritis and upper gastrointestinal symptoms.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the blood free carnitine (C0) level and SLC22A5 gene variants in 17 neonates with Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) and to determine its incidence in local area and explore the correlation between C0 level and genotype. METHODS: 148 043 newborns born in 9 counties (cities and districts) of Ningde city from September 2016 to June 2021 were selected as study subjects. Blood free carnitine and acyl carnitine of 148 043 neonates were analyzed. Variants of the SLC22A5 gene were screened in those with blood C0 < 10 µmol/L, or C0 between 10 ∼ 15 µmol/L. Correlation between the free carnitine level and genetic variants was analyzed. RESULTS: In total 17 neonates were diagnosed with PCD, which yielded a prevalence of 1/8 707 in the region. Twelve variants of the SLC22A5 gene were identified, with the common ones including c.760C>T, c.1400C>G and c.51C>G. Compared with those carrying other variants of the gene, children carrying the c.760C>T variant had significantly lower C0 values (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The prevalence of PCD is relatively high in Ningde area, and intervention measures should be taken to prevent and control the disease. The c. 760C>T variant is associated with lower level of C0, which can provide a clue for the diagnosis.

Patients with primary membranous nephropathy(PMN)tend to develop thrombosis,especially in the early phase of the disease.The pathogenesis of thrombosis is multifactorial,with hypoalbuminemia being widely regarded as an inde-pendent risk factor.Other factors include proteinuria,M-type phospholipase A2 receptor antibody,and D-dimer.Although prophy-lactic anticoagulation therapy is frequently used in clinical practice to prevent thrombosis in PMN patients,there are still many un-resolved issues regarding the optimal prevention of thrombosis in this condition.The timing of prophylactic anticoagulation,the threshold of serum albumin level,and the choice of treatment regimen are still lacking consensus.This article reviewed the relevant literature on these topics,aiming to establish a standard for thrombosis prevention and treatment for this population in the future and provide guidance for clinical practice.

Objective To observe the effectiveness and safety of Kang′ai injection combined with docetaxel or gemcitabine chemotherapy in treatment of elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods A multi-center,randomized and parallel control study was carried out in 150 elderly patients with ad-vanced NSCLC treated in 3 hospitals during the period from June 2013 to August 2014.The patients were randomly divided into platinum-based group(platinum-based doublet chemotherapy)and Kang′ai group(Kang′ai injection combined with single agent chemotherapy). The clinical efficacy,quality of life and adverse reactions were ob-served and compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in the disease control rate between the two groups group(79.66% vs 81.82%)(χ2=0.101,P=0.751)while the effective rate of Kang′ai group was significantly higher than that of platinum-based group(30.51% vs 14.29%)(χ2=5.240,P=0.022). The effective rate of clinical symptom relief in Kang′ai group after treatment was significantly higher than that in platinum-based group(69.49% vs 48.05%)(χ2=6.278,P=0.012),and the increase rate of PS score in Kang′ai group after the treatment was also significantly higher than that in platinum-based group(18.64% vs 3.90%)(χ2=7.868,P=0.005).There was no significant difference in quality of life between two groups(P>0.05).The quali-ty of life score of Kang′ai group was significantly higher than that of platinum-based group at the second course of treatment(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in Kang′ai group was significantly lower than that in the platinum-based group(47.46% vs 71.42%)(χ2= 8.070,P < 0.05). Conclusion Kang′ai injection combined with single agent chemotherapy can effectively relieve clinical symptoms and reduce the tumor size in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC,with high safety.
