Objective:To develop an efficient and rapid method for the isolation and cultivation of human scalp dermal papilla cells from small specimens.Methods:Hair-bearing skin specimens measuring 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm -0.5 cm × 1 cm in size were obtained from the scalp of 3 patients with pigmented nevus and 6 with sebaceous nevus during surgery in Department of Dermatology, the First Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University from September 2018 to January 2019. The subcutaneous fat layer containing hair follicles was cut out of the specimens, and hair follicles were sorted with ophthalmic forceps, which were subsequently digested with 0.6% dispase Ⅱ for 30 minutes, then with 0.2% collagenase Ⅳ at 37 ℃ for 30 - 60 minutes, and were centrifuged to obtain hair papillae. Morphological observation was performed on the isolated hair papillae, and dermal papilla cells were cultured, passaged and identified.Results:Under the microscope, the hair papillae isolated by two-step enzyme digestion of small scalp specimens were intact, and showed an inverted pear-like shape, and residual dermal sheaths could be observed around some hair papillae. However, no hair papilla was isolated by one-step enzyme digestion. With the two-step enzyme digestion method, the hair papilla separation rate was 60.8% ± 2.1%, the adherence rate of the dermal papilla cells at 72 hours was 86.6% ± 3.9%, the time for cells to emigrate out of hair papillae was 0.5 - 3.0 days, the total operation duration was 2.0 - 3.0 hours, and the actual operation duration after subtraction of digestion duration was 1.0 - 1.5 hours. The dermal papilla cells isolated by the two-step enzyme digestion method could grow in an aggregative pattern in early stage, but grew in a non-aggregative pattern after 8 passages.Conclusion:The two-step enzyme digestion of small specimens is a simple and efficient method for isolating human scalp dermal papilla cells.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between arterial partial pressure of CO2 (PaCO2) and end expiratory tidal partial pressure of CO2 (Pet-CO2) in morbidly obese patients during anesthesia for laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.

METHODSForty morbidly obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) between 35 and 50 kg/m(2) underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery under general anesthesia. PaCO2 and Pet-CO2 were measured after intubation and before induction of pneumoperitoneum (T0), at 30 min (T1), 60 min (T2), and 120 min (T3) during pneumoperitoneum, and at 30 min (T4) and 60 min (T5) after deflation.

RESULTSAt each time point of measurement, Pet-CO2 was lower than PaCO2 in all the patients. PaCO2 and Pet-CO2 were positively correlated before, during, and after pneumoperitoneum (P<0.05). At a moderate pressure of CO2 pneumoperitoneum (16 mmHg), the level of correlation between PaCO2 and Pet-CO2 at T1, T2, and T3 differed from that before and after post-pneumoperitoneum.

CONCLUSIONSPaCO2 and Pet-CO2 are closely correlated during a moderate CO2 pneumoperitoneum in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.

BACKGROUND:Some studies have shown that the hounsfield units(HU)value based on lumbar CT can be used to screen osteoporosis.At present,the number of patients with pulmonary infection has increased;the number of patients with pulmonary infection and type 2 diabetes is also increasing,which increases the utilization rate of chest CT. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of lumbar 1 vertebral body HU value based on chest CT in the screening of type 2 diabetes mellitus osteoporosis. METHODS:The clinical data of 244 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from June 2020 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.The bone mineral density was obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.According to WHO's diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis,the subjects were divided into the non-osteoporosis group(n=120)and the osteoporosis group(n=124).The general condition,T value and HU value of lumbar 1 vertebra in chest CT were compared,and the relationship between the HU value and T value of each position was analyzed and the accuracy of type 2 diabetes mellitus osteoporosis was evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no significant difference in sex,age,body mass index,glycosylated hemoglobin,mean blood glucose,calcium(Ca),phosphorus(P),time of type 2 diabetes mellitus,history of hypertension and history of hyperlipidemia between the two groups(P>0.05).(2)The HU value was positively correlated with the lowest T value of the hip(r=0.619,P<0.01);the HU value was positively correlated with the hip T value(r=0.584,P<0.01),and the HU value was positively correlated with the femoral neck T value(r=0.641,P<0.01).When the HU value was 98,the prediction of type 2 diabetes mellitus osteoporosis had good accuracy,and the sensitivity was 70.8%.(3)It is concluded that the HU value of the lumbar 1 vertebra based on chest CT examination is of good value for osteoporosis screening in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,and may be an opportunistic and cost-free supplementary screening method for type 2 diabetes mellitus osteoporosis.

ObjectiveBased on the concept of quality by design（QbD）， the processing process of calcined Pyritum was optimized， and its X-ray diffraction（XRD） fingerprint was established. MethodsThe safety， effectiveness and quality controllability of calcined Pyritum were taken as the quality profile（QTPP）， the color， hardness， metallic luster， phase composition， the contents of heavy metals and hazardous elements were taken as the critical quality attributes（CQAs）， and the calcination temperature， calcination time， paving thickness and particle size were determined as the critical process parameters（CPPs）. Differential thermal analysis， X-ray diffraction（XRD） and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry（ICP-MS） were used to analyze the correlation between the calcination temperature and CQAs of calcined Pyritum. Then， based on the criteria importance through intercriteria correlation（CRITIC）-entropy weight method， the optimal processing process of calcined Pyritum was optimized by orthogonal test. Powder XRD was used to analyze the phase of calcined Pyritum samples processed according to the best process， and the mean and median maps of calcined Pyritum were established by the superposition of geometric topological figures， and similarity evaluation and cluster analysis were carried out. ResultsThe results of single factor experiments showed that the physical phase of Pyritum changed from FeS₂ to Fe₇S₈ during the process of temperature increase， the color gradually deepened from dark yellow， and the contents of heavy metals and harmful elements decreased. The optimized processing process of calcined Pyritum was as follows：calcination temperature at 750 ℃， calcination time of 2.5 h， paving thickness of 3 cm， particle size of 0.8-1.2 cm， vinegar quenching 1 time［Pyritum-vinegar（10∶3）］. After calcination， the internal structure of Pyritum was honeycomb-shaped， which was conducive to the dissolution of active ingredients. XRD fingerprints of 13 batches of calcined Pyritum characterized by 10 common peaks were established. The similarities of the relative peak intensities of the XRD fingerprints of the analyzed samples were>0.96， and it could effectively distinguish the raw products and unqualified products. ConclusionTemperature is the main factor affecting the quality of calcined Pyritum. After processing， the dissolution of the effective components in Pyritum increases， and the contents of heavy metals and harmful substances decrease， reflecting the function of processing to increase efficiency and reduce toxicity. The optimized processing process is stable and feasible， and the established XRD fingerprint can be used as one of the quality control standards of calcined Pyritum.
