BACKGROUND: Muscle-derived stem cells have some problems in pudflcation, amplification and directional differentiation during in vitro culture. Basic fibroblast growth factor as a membrane of bloactive factor has been paid great attention, due to its biological activity.OBJECTIVE: To explore effects of basic flbroblast growth factor on/n vitro proliferation of rat musde-derived stem cells.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cytological in vitro study was performed at the Shenyang Medical College from April to July 2008.MATERIALS: Five healthy male Wistar rats were supplied by Experimental Animal Center, Shenyang Medical College. Basic fibroblast growth factor was produced by Zhuhai Biological Product Co., Ltd.METHODS: Left anterior limb triceps brachii was sterilely obtained from rats. Muscle-derived stem cells were harvested by isolation with enzyme digestion, pudfied by density gradient centrifugation and differential attachment. At the second passage,musde-derived stem cells were treated with basic fibroblast growth factor at final concentration of 6.25, 12.50, 25.00, 50.00,100.00 pg/L. Cells received 200 uL growth medium as blank control group, and those treated with 200 μL growth medium +musde-derived stem celts as negative controls. MTT was added at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of culture.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Immunocytochomical method was used to determine rat musde-dedved stem cells. MTT assay was utilized to detect cell proliferation.RESULTS: Musde-denved stem cells were mostly positive for Sca-1, but few was positive for Desmin. Compared with the negative control group, vanous concentrations of basic fibroblast growth factor had significant proliferation effects on musde-derived cells (P < 0.05). At 6.25-50.00 μg/L, the proliferation effect became strong with the increased concentration (P <0.01). At 50.00 μg/L, the proliferation promotion effect nearly reached a peak. Musde-derived stem cells significantly proliferated over time. Compared with the negative control group, significant proliferation promotion effect was detected in the basic fibroblast growth factor groups at 96 hours (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Basic fibroblast growth factor can promote proliferation of rat muscle-derived stem cells/n vitro in a dose-time dependent fashion. 50.00 μ g/L and 96 hours are separately good concentration and time for in vitro culture.

Multiple cellular factors and molecular signal pathways including PI 3K/AKT pathway;MAPK pathway;growth factors and receptors like HER , VEGF/VEGFR and MET ;inflammation‐related factors like COX‐2 ,NF‐κB ,STAT and interleukins ,are involved in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer ,these factors play a key role in apoptosis inhibition ,proliferation promotion and cell cycle regulation of gastric cancer cells ,as well as invasion ,migration and angiogenesis of stomach malignancy .They are also expressed at a higher level in gastric cancer tissue compared with normal gastric mucosa and characterized as biomarkers ,whose target therapies mostly have been in clinical trials . Based on these theoretical foundations , the research on molecular diagnosis of gastric cancer has made some progress .Instruments for target detection tend to be mature .However , the research of molecular probes is still in pre‐clinical trials ,which remains to be further developed .

Objective To explore the effect of polypharmacy assessment and intervention on elderly inpatients mainly in both economy and safety. Methods One hundred and forty elderly inpatients were selected. Fifty patients took less than 5 drugs, 75 patients took 5- 9 drugs, and 15 patients took more than 10 drugs. According to medication appropriateness index (MAI) and Beers criteria, the polypharmacy of elderly inpatients was assessed and intervened. The results were compared before and after intervention. Results The discrepancy rate of Beers criteria, incidence of potential risk, total scores of prescription MAI and average daily drug cost after intervention were significantly lower than that before intervention: 7.14% (10/140) vs. 16.43% (23/140), 22.14% (31/140) vs. 90.71%(127/140), 0(0,0)scores vs. 6.00(2.25,10.00)scores and (30.60 ± 19.71) yuan vs. (35.34 ± 26.84) yuan, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01 or <0.05). Conclusions Irregular medication exists widely in elderly patients, and the polypharmacy assessment and intervention can lighten the financial burden of elderly patients and improve the safety of drug therapy.

BACKGROUND: Prevention of implant from inflammation was an effective method to reduce expulsion rate of stainless steel micro-screw implant, and develop new type of antibiotic material.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of a new type of antibiotic stainless steels.METHODS: Metal test samples (antibiotic stainless steel, medical stainless steel, and medial pure titanium) were made into rectangular solids with length of 15 mm × 10 mm × 3 mm. Samples were cleaned with high temperature and high pressure. Alloy leaching liquor was prepared with DMEM culture media according to the ratio betwean surface area and volume of culture solution (3 cm~2/mL). The leaching liquor was maintained in incubator at 37 ℃ for 96 hours, and then degerming was performed using microporous membrane. 6.4% phenol was added, which was considered as the positive control group, and DMEM culture media was considered as the blank control group. Growth of MG63 cells was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope;absorbanca of cells cultured for 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours was detected using MTT test; cytotoxicity of antibiotic stainless steels was evaluated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: ① At 24 hours after culture, calls in the positive control group was abnormal; while, cells in other groups were well adherent-grew. ② After 48 hours of culture, with the culture time increased,cytotoxicity was detected out in the positive control group; cells in other groups and blank control groups were normal and grew well. Afew of cells in stainless steels group showed karyopyknosis. ③ The absorbance was the highest of medical pure titanium, and then of antibiotic stainless steel and of medical stainless steel, while there was no significant difference between the three materials. ④ The level of cytotoxicity was grade 0. The results suggested that the antibiotic stainless steel which had the same cytotoxicity grade as medical stainless steel and pure titanium was in line with the requirement of its clinical application.
