Objective To observe the effects of differentiation of mature islet cells of mice on marrowmesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs). To provide transplant source for islet cell transplantation in the treatment of diabetes. Methods The culture, isolation and passage of mMSCs was performed by using patch wall, cell shape was observed by confocal microscope, and flow cytometry analysis was used to determine their biological characteristics. The type Ⅳ collagenase was injected into common bile duct to digest the pancreas, and then gradient centrifugation was used to isolate islet cells. The transwell co-culture system was used for third generation of mMSCs and isolated islet cells, then inversion microscope was used to observe the cell growth and morphological changes, immunochemistry methods was applied to detect the expression of insulin in mMSCs, and insulin release test was performed to determine the secretion of insulin. The control group consisted of cultured mMSCs alone. Results The cells from mouse bone marrow were found to be in long spindle shape with large volume after 48 hours in culture. One week later the cells grew in the form of colony with serial subcultivation. The cell surface molecules including Sca-l, CD29, CD44, CD105 were positive with high level of expression;while the cell surface molecules including CD34, CD45 were negative, all of these results confirmed that the ceils were mMSCs. After 7 days of coculture with mice islet cells, part of mMSCs cells were positively stained by insulin immunohistochemisty, the insulin secretion was (16.83±0. 15)μIU/ml.Conclusions After cocultured with islet cells, mMSCs isolated from mouse bone marrow could differentiate into islet like cells. These cells may be used in the islet cells transplantation in the treatment of diabetes, which provided a solution to the problems of donor-shortage and immunologic rejection.

Objective: To investigate the awareness of relevant knowledge and influencing factors among high-risk populations for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), so as to provide the reference for improving COPD awareness and disease prevention. Methods: The COPD high-risk populations were selected from community health service centers of Nanfeng, Jingang, Daxin and Fenghuang townships in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province from 2020 to 2022. Basic information, lifestyle, health status and awareness of relevant knowledge were collected through questionnaire surveys. Anxiety symptoms was assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale. Factors affecting the awareness of relevant knowledge among COPD high-risk populations were identified using a structural equation model. Results: A total of 2 078 COPD high-risk populations were surveyed, including 1 111 females (53.53%) and 967 males (46.47%), and had a mean age of (60.85±6.59) years. The total awareness score of relevant knowledge among high-risk populations for COPD was (6.33±2.59) points, with an awareness rate of 72.18%. Structural equation model analysis showed that age, annual household income, educational level, smoking, respiratory diseases, occupational exposure and anxiety symptoms had direct effects on the awareness of relevant knowledge, with direct effect values of -0.057 (95%CI: -0.099 to -0.014), 0.048 (95%CI: 0.005 to 0.090), 0.162 (95%CI: 0.117 to 0.204), 0.060 (95%CI: 0.018 to 0.096), 0.055 (95%CI: 0.021 to 0.088), 0.139 (95%CI: 0.107 to 0.170) and -0.172 (95%CI: -0.209 to -0.135), respectively; while age, gender, and occupational exposure also had indirect effects on the awareness of relevant knowledge, with indirect effect values of -0.069 (95%CI: -0.090 to -0.051), -0.084 (95%CI: -0.113 to -0.053), and 0.007 (95%CI: 0.003 to 0.014), respectively. Conclusion The awareness of relevant knowledge among COPD high-risk populations is associated with age, gender, annual household income, educational level, smoking, respiratory diseases, occupational exposure and anxiety symptoms.

Objective:To observe the effect of acupoint massage plus acupoint sticking therapy for the stress reaction during postoperative anesthesia recovery period in patients undergoing nasal endoscopic surgery.Methods:A total of 120 patients undergoing nasal endoscopic surgery were included,and all patients were under trachea intubation and general anesthesia.The patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group,with 60 patients in each group.Patients in the control group received conventional anesthesia resuscitation,while patients in the observation group received acupoint massage plus acupoint sticking therapy on the basis of conventional anesthesia resuscitation.Changes in the heart rate (HR),systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were observed at three time points including the end of the surgery (TO),the removal of the tracheal tube (T1) and 10 min after the removal of the tracheal tube (T2).The awakening and tube removal time,choking cough and restlessness,and adverse reactions (dizziness,nausea and vomiting) in 24 h post-surgery period were compared.Results:At T1 and T2,the comparisons of HR,SBP and DBP between the two groups showed statistical significance (all P＜0.05).Intra-group comparisons showed that the HR,SBP and DBP of the control group at T1 and T2 were significant different from those at TO (all P＜0.05).There were significant differences in the awakening time and tube removal time between the two groups (both P＜0.05).The incidences of choking cough and restlessness were 8.3％ and 3.3％ respectively in the observation group,versus 53.3％ and 30.0％ in the control group,and the between-group comparisons showed statistical significance (both P＜0.05).The incidences of dizziness,nausea and vomiting in 24 h post-surgery period were 3.3％,5.0％ and 0.0％ respectively in the observation group,versus 43.3％,33.3％ and 25.0％ in the control group,and the between-group comparisons showed statistical significance (all P＜0.05).Conclusion:Acupoint massage plus acupoint sticking therapy can effectively regulate the stress reaction during postoperative anesthesia recovery period in patients undergoing nasal endoscopic surgery,and maintain a stable internal environment.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of acupuncture-moxibustion at different intervals on persistent allergic rhinitis. Methods: A total of 90 patients conforming to the inclusion criteria were randomized into three groups named A, B and C by randomized block method. Patients in all three groups received the same treatment of acupuncture and herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion at the same acupoints, while the treatment frequency was different. Patients in group A received the treatment once a week, group B twice a week and group C three times a week, and all the treatment lasted for 4 weeks. The total nasal symptom score (TNSS), total ocular symptom score (TOSS) and Sino-nasal outcome test-20 (SNOT-20) were evaluated before and after treatment. The self-rating score of symptoms was evaluated during treatment and 2 weeks after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was 80.0% in group A, 93.3% in group B, and 100.0% in group C. The total effective rate in group A was statistically different from that in group B and group C (both P＜0.05), but there was no significant inter-group difference in total effective rate between group B and group C (P＞0.05). After treatment, scores of TNSS, TOSS and SNOT-20 in all three groups dropped significantly, and statistically different from those before treatment (all P＜0.05); between-group comparison showed group B and group C decreased more obvious than group A (all P＜0.05). In self-rating score of symptoms, there were no inter-group statistically significant differences in the first 3-week treatment (all P＞0.05); after 4-week treatment, the score in group A was higher than that in group B and group C, and showed statistical significant (both P＜0.05); at 2 weeks after treatment, the score in group A was higher than that in group B and group C based on an everyday record, showing statistical significance (both P＜0.05). At the 11th day after treatment, the score in group B was higher than that in group C (P＜0.05). There were no significant differences between group B and group C at other time points (all P＞0.05). Conclusion: All three protocols are effective for allergic rhinitis. With the increase of treatment frequency, the therapeutic efficacy with a treatment frequency of twice a week and three times a week is superior to that of once a week. Frequency of three times a week has a better long-term effect than once and twice a week, together with the least fluctuation of symptoms.

Objective To investigate the influence of streptozocin (STZ)'s dose on the inductive effect of diabetes in C57BL/6J mice, and investigate the dose-effect relationship and the optimal dose range. Methods 145 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 9 diabetic groups (group A to group 1, n = 15 in each group) and I control group (n = I0) to receive intraperitoneal injection of STZ with the dosages of 30, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240 mg/kg and same amount of buffer solution,respectively. Changes of blood glucose, body weight, survival rate at 45 day and serum insulin level were monitored, and the relationship with STZ doses was analyzed. Pancreas and kidneys of the mice were removed for morphological examination, and immunohistochemistry was used for determination of insulin in pancreas and CD<,68> in kidneys. Results Compared with control group, blood glucose in group C ～G increased significantly; body weigh, insulin level decreased significantly (P < 0.05), and the STZ dose was positively correlated with mean blood glucose (r = -0.984, P < 0.05) and was negatively correlated with mean serum insulin levels (r = 0.994, P <0.05). The diabetes modeling rates in group C ～ G (86.7% ～ 100%) were higher than those of group A and B (0 and 40%, P<0.05). At the 45th day, the survival rates of group C ～G (46.7% ～ 73.3%) were higher than those of group H and 1 (13.3% and 0, P <0.05). There was no obvious injury of pancreas and kidneys in group B, whereas, in group C and G, pancreatic island atrophy and decreased insulin secretion were observed; deposits of extracellular matrix and macrophage increased in the mesangium were also present. Conclusions 80 ～ 180 mg/kg of STZ dose was ideal for establishing diabetes model in C57BL/6J mice. Within this range, the modeling rate and survival rate was higher, and target organs injury was typical. The STZ dose was positively correlated with blood glucose and negatively correlated with serum insulin levels.
