Objective To investigate the clinical results in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with one stage open reduction and Salter or Dega osteotomy for “walking age”children .Methods We retrospectively reviewed 16 patients(16 hips)with unilateral hip dislocation who had undergone one‐stage open reduction and Salter or Dega innominate osteotomy in the the“walking age”children .the results were evaluated clinically by McKay′s classification and radiologically by the modified Severin′s classification .Early signs of osteonecrosis were identified by neck widening ,epiphysis fragmentation ,and presence of a metaphyseal growth disturbance line in the first year after the operation .Results After a follow‐up of one year on average ,good clinical and ra‐diographic results were noted in 87 .5% and 81 .25% of the patients ,respectively .Osteonecrosis occurred in 3 hips(18 .75% ) .Con‐clusion One‐stage open reduction and Salter or Dega osteotomy is an effective treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip in walking age .

Evidence has indicated that low doses of anti-tumor regimens can induce cell apoptosis in vitro, although different regimens induce apoptosis by different mechanism and pathway. In recent years, new tumor treatment strategy has been mainly focused on inducing tumor cell apoptosis. The present review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of inducing tumor cell apoptosis. The benefit of inducing apoptosis is not to cause inflammatory reaction, but as its disadvantage, it inhibits immune responses, and the phagocytosis of apopotic bodies may result in horizontal transfer of genes (including oncogenes and other oncogenic materials), which can be one of the causes of tumor relapse. This paper proposes that the tumor treatment strategy should be turn into promoting tumor cell necrosis and inducing anti-tumor immune responses.

OBJECTIVETo identify the correlation of the volume of residual urine (VRU) with the severity of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and detrusor contractility in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

METHODSA total of 152 patients with clinically diagnosed BPH underwent ultrasonography for measurement of the prostate volume and RVU, free uroflowmetry, and urodynamic examination for the severity of BOO and detrusor contractility. Using the software SPSS20. 0, we analyzed the correlation between the ultrasonographic results and urodynamic parameters and compared the two sample means by the t-test.

RESULTSThe prostate volume was correlated positively with BOO severity (r = 0.432, P < 0.01) and detrusor contractility (r = 0.343 , P < 0.01) while Qmax negatively with BOO severity (r = 0.327, P < 0.01) but not significantly with detrusor contractility (r = 0.123, P > 0.05). VRU showed a significantly negative correlation with detrusor contractility when > 150 ml (r = -0.490, P < 0.01), even more significantly when > 300 ml (r = -0.717, P < 0.01), but exhibited no significant correlation with it when ≤ 150 ml (r = 0.041, P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONVRU can somehow predict the detrusor function. For patients with VRU > 150 ml, especially for those with VRU > 300 ml, the detrusor function should be evaluated and urodynamic examination is recommended for exact assessment of BOO severity and detrusor contractility.

Conclusion Effective psychology intervention and family rehabilitation guides could impove psychological status and enhance quality of life of patients.

Up to date, eight types of human herpes viruses have been identified, all of which are ubiquitous, and usually establish latent infection in the host after primary infection. Since most of the herpes viruses are maintained in an asymptomatic form, they are often neglected. However, under some circumstances, these herpes viruses can cause fatal or severe diseases. Furthermore, the association of herpes viruses with hematopoietic malignancies is attracting researchers' attention. With the extensive development of hematopoietic stem cell and organ transplantation, reports regarding transplantation failure and complication caused by infection of human herpes virus has been increasing. Cytokine storm was firstly suggested as the mechanism of graft-versus-host diseases. In recent years, which has also been applied in the pathogenesis research of inflammation, and is supposed to play an important role in severe virus infection. In this paper, through discussing the possible role of latent infection of human herpes virus in the failure or complication of bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and in refractory leukemia, the function and significance of latent infection of human herpes virus and the cytokine storm it caused were investigated.

Objective Few researches are reported on the association of integrinαvβ6 with vaginal mucous infection and de-fense.This study aimed to investigate the effects of IL-6, TGF-β, and IFN-γon the expression of integrinαvβ6 in the vaginal epithelial cell line VK2/E6E7. Methods Immortalized human vaginal epi-thelial cells (VK2/E6E7) were cultured in vitro and treated with gra-dient concentrations of IL-6 (1, 10, 50, and 100 ng/mL), TGF-β(0.1, 1, 10, and 100 ng/mL), and IFN-γ(50, 500, 2500, and 5000 U/L) , respectively.After 48 hours, the cells were collected and total RNA extracted by the Trizol method to be reversely tran-scribed to cDNA. The expressions of integrin αand β6 subunit mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results In the IL-6-treated VK2/E6E7 cells, the integrin αand β6 subunit mRNA expressions were significantly lower in the 1 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL groups but remarkably higher in the 100 ng/mL group (1.14 ±0.12 and 1.37 ±0.25) than in the blank control (1.00 ±0.09) (P<0.05), and only the expression ofβ6 subunit mRNA was elevated in the 50 ng/mL group (P<0.05), with the expressions increased in a concentration-dependent manner.In the TGF-βtreated VK2/E6E7 cells, the expressions of integrinαandβ6 subunit mRNA were significantly lower in the 0.1 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL groups but remarkably higher in the 100 ng/mL group than in the blank control (1.00 ±0.09) (P<0.01), and only the expression ofβ6 subunit mRNA was elevated in the 10 ng/mL group (4.31 ±0.78, P<0.01), with the expressions increased in a concentration-dependent manner.In the IFN-γtreated VK2/E6E7 cells, the expressions of both integrinαandβ6 subunit mRNA were significantly lower in the 50 U/L, 500 U/L, 2500 U/L, and 5000 U/L groups than in the blank control (all P<0.01). Conclusion IL-6 and TGF-βhave an inhibitory effect the expression ofαvβ6 in VK2/E6E7 cells at low concentrations, which gradually diminishes with the increased concentration of inflammatory factors.In the early stage of inflammation, IFN-γcan effectively suppress the expression ofαvβ6 at a high concentration.However, with the progression of inflammation and decrease of its concentration, IFN-γloses its inhibi-tory effect and therefore does not help inflammation control.

Objective To induce mouse embryonic stem(ES)cells to differentiate into insulin-secreting cells by means of a 5-step model system.Methods E14.1 mouse ES cells were cultured in the presence of leukemia inhibitory factor(LIF)for 2 days(step 1),then the cells were cultured in hanging drops to form embryonic bodies(EBs)and the resulting EBs were cultured in suspension for 6 days in the presence of basic fibroblast growth factor bFGF(step 2).Subsequently the EBs were cultured in the medium containing glucagon- like peptide 1(GLP-1),hepatocyte growth factor(HGF),nerve growth factor(NGF)and nicotinamide for 10 days(step 3).After that,the EBs were dissociated into single cells,and the cells were cultured in monolayer in the presence of GLP-1,betacellulin,activin A,bFGF and nicotinamide for 10 days(step 4).Finally,the cells were cultured in low-glucose medium containing nicotinamide for 4 days(step 5).Insulin and some other islet- related genes expressions were investigated using RT-PCR and insulin expression was also investigated by DTZ- staining and immunohistochemistry.The percentage of insulin-secreting cells was evaluated by flowcytometry and insulin concentrations were measured by RIA.Results mRNA expression of insulin became visible at step 3 and more evident at step 5.Additionally,at step 5,mRNAs of glucagon,somatostatin,pancreatic polypeptide(PP), pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1(PDX-1),beta-cell E box transactivator 2(Beta2)and neurogenin 3(Ngn3) were detected.DTZ-staining positive cells and insulin immunohistochemical staining positive cells were observed. The percentage of insulin-positive cells was(24.0?2.5)%(n=6).In the presence of 5.6 mmol/L and 25 mmol/L glucose,insulin concentrations were(0.05?0.01)?g/L and(0.13?0.02)?g/L respectively(n= 6).Conclusion E14.1 mouse ES cells can be induced to differentiate into insulin-secreting cells by the 5-step model system.Insulin-secreting cells can release insulin into culture medium when treated with glucose,and insulin concentrations increase with rising concentration of glucose.

As pioneer of tumor stem cell research, leukemia stem cell research has not only important theoretical significance, but also clinical application potential. The survival and development of stem cells are directly impacted by their microenvironment. The research on leukemia stem cells and their microenvironment are now becoming a hot topic. The author presumes that stem cells are a population with heterogenecity and hierarchy; any single cell from the population is difficult to form a clone; the interaction between the leukemia stem cell and its microenvironment can be described by the concept of leukemia stem cell niche. In this article, the leukemia cell population with heterogenecity and hierarchy as well as leukemia stem cell niche were summarized and discussed.
