Cancer stem cells is a small fraction of cells exist in cancers and own the same characteristics of stem cells. It has recently been shown that cancer stem cells in some tumours contain lower reactive oxygen species(ROS) levels and enhanced ROS defence radioresistance. The DNA damage induced by p53 tumor suppressor protein is associated with self cancer stem cells. We have reviewed the biological characteristics including self- renewal, drug resistance, heterogeneity and so on. As to the genesis of the cancer stem cells,some researchers believe that they arise from normal adult stem cells, progenitor cells or mutation of somatic cells, while others consider that cancer stem cells are derived from cell fusion and so on.

Objective To observe the effect of Tiaowei Xiaozhi Pills on gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal function in rats model of damp stagnation syndrome. Methods The damp stagnation syndrome model was established in rats. The gastric juice,pepsin and gastrointestinal function were determined. Results Tiaowei Xiaozhi Pills in the dosages of 700 mg/kg and 350mg/kg can diminish the amount of gastric juice and pH level and increase pepsin level. Tiaowei Xiaozhi Pills in the dosages of 700 mg/kg,350 mg/kg,175 mg/kg can also improve gastrointestinal function in model rats. Conclusion Tiaowei Xiaozhi Pills have improvement on gastrointestinal function in rats model of damp stagnation syndrome.

Objective:To investigate the application of drug utilization evaluation( DUE) as a kind of clinical pharmacy work model in the antibacterial drug special rectification. Methods: Following the steps of DUE schedule,retrospective method was conducted to collect the data of the use of vancomycin in one institution and the model of clinical drug use was improved by the evaluation result. Re-sults:The rationality of vancomycin use was improved in the institution. The index of drug use reasons and key disease course indica-tors was improved significantly. The qualification rate of indications and drug indications was increased from 79. 5% to 95. 0%,and the qualification rate of antibacterial drugs classification management was increased from 63. 3% to 92. 7%. The qualification rate of dosing frequency was increased from 72. 5% to 96. 0%. Conclusion:As a program for continual improvement of new clinical pharmacy work mode and medical care quality,the mode plays an important role in the institution and improves the rational use of vancomycin.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms and clopidogrel resistance in the patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease ( CAHD) accepted percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI) in Chinese Han population from north Sichuan. Methods:The patients with CAHD undergoing PCI were recruited. The fluorescence in situ hybridization ( FISH) technology was used to detect the CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms in all the patients. According to the different genotypes, the patients were divided into different groups. The platelet maximum aggregation rate ( MAP) induced by ADP was detected before and after the administration of clopidogrel. Results:The 110 patients were divided into three groups:52(47. 3%) patients were divided into the fast metabolism group, 42(38. 1%) patients were in the moderate metabolism group and 16(14. 6%) patients were in the slow metab-olism group. Before the administration, there was no significant difference in the basic values of the platelet aggregation rate among the groups with various metabolism type (P=0. 873). In 24 hours after the administration of 300mg clopidogrel, there was notable differ-ence in the platelet aggregation rate (17. 74% ± 5. 87% vs 21. 44% ± 8. 71% vs 27. 05% ± 8. 83%, P=0. 044) and the decrease de-gree (20. 08% ± 5. 94% vs 18. 87% ± 4. 72% vs 11. 54% ± 2. 94%, P=0. 01) among the three groups. The moderate metabolism group and slow metabolism group had higher MAP with lower decrease degree than the fast metabolism group. Totally 21 patients (19. 1%)were with CR, and among them, 2 patients (3. 8%) were in the fast metabolism group,12 patients (28. 6%) in the moder-ate metabolism group and 7 ones (43. 8%) in the slow metabolism group, and the difference of CR distribution among the three groups was significant (P<0. 001). The moderate metabolism group and slow metabolism group were more likely to have clopidogrel resist-ance, especially the slow metabolism group. Conclusion: There is a certain relationship of CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms and clopi-dogrel resistance in the patients with CAHD accepted PCI in Chinese Han population from north Sichuan, and those with slow metabo-lism genotype are more likely to have clopidogrel resistance with reduced efficacy.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore new methods for laparoscopic repair of vesicovaginal fistula.
METHODS:
Five patients with vesicovaginal fistula in Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, were reviewed retrospectively from May 2013 to July 2014. All patients underwent laparoscopic repair surgery, and the surgical methods were analyzed. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and hospital stay time were recorded. The duration of follow-up was from 4 to 12 months.
RESULTS:
Th e surgical procedures for all 5 patients were successful. No open surgery was required. The operative time was 70~120 (mean: 97) min, the intraoperative blood loss was 40~70 (mean: 54) mL, the hospital stay time was 4~8 (mean: 5.8) days. During the follow up of 4~12 (mean: 7.6) months, no recurrence was observed.
CONCLUSION
Laparoscopic repair of vesicovaginal fistula is a feasible and safe and effective procedure with less blood loss and shorter recovery time, which can minimize surgery damage and improve successful rate.

Objective:
To assess the effect of combined treatment using cell scaffold and human fibroblast growth factor for small soft tissue defects of digits caused by trauma.
Methods:
From May 2012 to September 2016, twenty cases of small soft tissue defect of digits were repaired with cell scaffold combined with recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor. The average defect area was 2.5 cm2. Wounds were debrided and repaired with artificial dermis. Every 2 or 3 days the dressings were changed and the wounds were treated externally with fibroblast growth factor until cell scaffolds have been removed 3-4 weeks after surgery.
Results:
The group of 20 cases was followed up for 2-24 months. Wounds were healed with satisfactory appearance and no recurrence of wound or obvious hypertrophic scar was observed. No obvious functional problem was found in interphalangeal motion.
Conclusions
The method of repairing wound with cell scaffold combined with human fibroblast growth factor is simple and it result in healing of wounds with high quality.It provides a new choice for repairing wound in digits.
