BACKGROUND:The hepatic stellate cells(HSCs)plays a key role in the development of liver fibrosis.Studies have shown that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell(BMSCs)transplantation can be used to treat liver fibrosis,but the mechanism for reversal of liver fibrosis remains unknown.OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to regulate the proliferation of HSCs under co-culture in vitro.METHODS:Rat BMSCs and HSCs in the experimental group were cultured in the plastic culture plate(6 holes)to establish the upper and lower double-cell co-culture system.Rat normal fibroblast cell lines were seeded as control group;HSCs were cultured alone as blank group.Cell proliferation was determined by WST8 and cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry.The Cyclin D1 and P27 mRNA expression in HSC was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and the level of Cyclin D1 and P27 protein by Western blot.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:HSCs co-cultured with BMSCs significantly inhibited HSC proliferation compared with the blank and control groups at 24,48,and 72 hours(P < 0.01);Flow cytometry showed that the percentage of G_0/G_1 phase cells of co-culture group was increased but the S phase cells reduced(P < 0.01)compared with the other groups at 72 hours,and BMSCs blocked HSC to convert from G_0/G_1 period to S phase.After HSCs co-cultured with BMSCs for 24 hours,the expression of Cyclin D1 mRNA and protein was reduced,and significantly less than the blank and control groups at 72 hours(P < 0.01);no differences were detected in P27 mRNA expression in each group during the co-culture(P > 0.05).After co-culture of 24 hours,the p27 protein expression was significantly increased compared with the blank and control groups(P < 0.01).BMSCs inhibited the proliferation of HSCs,possibly through inhibiting CydinDI expression,increasing the p27 protein expression to cause cell cyde arresting in G_0/G_1 phase.

Objective To investigatethe clinical value of troponin-I(cTnI)in patientswith septic shocka-nd left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Methods As a retrospective analysis ,38 patients with left ventricular di-astolic dysfunction and septic shock(Sa group),as well as 20 patients with normal cardiac function(Sn group) were enrolled in this study. Moreover ,20 patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and without septic shock were used as control group(Ca group). The ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity to early diastolic mi-tral annulus velocity(E/e′)was measured as the evaluation index of left ventricular diastolicfunction by echocar-diography within 72 hours after admission to ICU. Level of cTnI was detected in all cases and the relationship was evaluated by E/e′. Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was constructed to indicate the predictable value of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock. Results The level of cTnI was significantly elevated in both Sa group and Sn group(P<0.05),while the level of cTnI and E/e′in Sa group were significantly higher than those in Sn group(P < 0.05). cTnI was positively correlated with E/e′(r = 0.367 ,P = 0.004). The area under the curve(AUC)of cTnI was 0.834,with the cut-off value of 0.49 ng/mL(sensibility=77.6,specificity=80.7). Conclusion The level of cTnI was significantly higher in patients with septic shock. cTnI was significantly correlated to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock. cTnI ≥ 0.49 ng/mL could be an available predictor for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of dexamethasone used at different time on the serumal concentrations of TNF ?, IL 1? and IL 6 of rats after severe scald in order to provide experimental basis for reasonable usage of ectogenous glucocorticoids for severe traumas. Methods The serumal concentrations of TNF ?, IL 1? and IL 6 were detected by ELISA after intraperitoneal injection of different doses of dexamethasone into rats at different time after severe scald. Results High dose(5 mg/kg) and low dose (0.5 mg/kg) of dexathemasone used during the period from 4 h to 12 h after severe scald could both significantly reduce the serumal concentrations of TNF ?, IL 1? and IL 6, and the effect of high dose was much better than that of low dose. Both doses of dexathemasone used at 24 h after scald had a significant effect on IL 1? and IL 6, but there was no difference between the two doses. No obvious effects were found of high/low dose of dexamethasone used 48 h later after scald. Conclusion According to the anti inflammatory effect, the best therapeutic efficacy may result from high dose of ectogenous glucocorticoids during the period from 4 h to 12 h and low dose from 12 h to 24 h after severe scald.

AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation for refractory glaucoma after sequential failed trabeculectomy.
METHODS: Thirty - six patients (36 eyes) with prior failed sequential trabeculectomy who underwent Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation were included. The intraocular pressure ( IOP), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and complications were ovserved and all the patients were followed up at least for 12mo.
RESULTS: Mean preoperative IOP was 35. 20±7. 28mmHg and reduced to 10. 15±3. 34, 11. 23±3. 56, 15. 63±5. 72, 17. 17±5. 47, 17. 73±6. 23,19. 76±5. 43mmHg at 1, 2wk, 1, 3, 6 and 12mo after surgery, which was significant different from the preoperative level (t = 12. 643, 11. 837, 10. 324, 8. 839, 8. 462, 8. 046, all P < 0. 05 ). Visual acuity was not significantly different between pre - operation and 12mo post- operation ( Z = - 0. 420, P > 0. 05). At 12mo after operation, the complete success rate reached 78% and the conditional success rate reached 92%. There were 5 eyes complicated with shallow anterior chamber, 3 eye complicated with anterior chamber hemorrhage, which all recovered after additional treatments. Late complications included valve exposure and encapsulated cystic blebs around the plate. Severe corneal endothelium loss occurred in 1 patient.
CONCLUSION: Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation is effective in reducing IOP at 1-year follow-up in refractory glaucoma patients with prior sequential failed trabeculectomy, but we should fully understand and attach great importance to all kinds of complications that may occur.
