Objective: To investigate the effects of different magnetic simulations on cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and cell differentiation of human fetal neural stem cell in vitro. Methods: Isolated neural stem cells were exposed to magnetic stimulation (with a frequency of 0.5 Hz, a wave wide of 72 μs and an intensity of 1.44 Tesla) once daily for 3 days. The cells were divided into three groups according to the pulses of magnetic stimulation each time: A group (thirty pulses each time), B group (sixty pulses each time), C group (ninety pulses each time) and D group (control group). MTT assay was applied to detect the proliferation activity of the neural stem cells, and flow cytometry was employed to detect the effect of magnetic stimulation on cell cycle, cell apoptosis, and cell differentiation. Results: The D values of neural stem cells in A, B, and C groups were significantly higher than those in the control group 24 to 48 hours after stimulation(P<0.05), indicating a slightly promoted proliferation of neural stem cells after magnetic stimulation. The proportions of G0/G1 phase cells of A, B, and C groups were less than those of the control group, and the proportion of G2/M-phase cells was higher than that of the control group. The proportions of β-tuberlin positive neurons in A, B, and C groups were higher than those in the control group as demonstrated by flow cytometry, and the proportion of neurons increased from 21.70% to 34.17% (P<0.05). Conclusion: Under proper condition, magnetic simulation can slightly promote cell proliferation and can induce neural stem cell differentiation into neurons in vitro, which may benefit neural function reconstruction.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics in patients with AECOPD. METHODS:The patho-gen distribution and antibiotics use of AECOPD patients was analyzed in respiratory department of our hospital during 2014-2015. The infection site,pathogen distribution and antibiotics use(including medication purpose,drug name,usage,dosage,medication duration,route of administration,drug combination),infection and compliance were investigated and analyzed statistically. RE-SULTS:Among 967 AECOPD patients,there were 619 cases of positive sputum culture(64.01%). A total of 774 strains were iso-lated,including 542 strains of Gram-negative bacterial (70.03%) and 232 strains of Gram-positive bacterial (29.97%);most of them were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(207 strains,26.72%). 765 patients were treated with antibiotics,and utilization ratio of an-tibiotics was 79.11%. 276 cases were treated with one kinds of antibiotics (36.08%),435 treated with 2 kinds of antibiotics (56.86%)and 54 treated with 3 kinds of antibiotics and above(7.06%). Top 3 drugs in the list of frequency were Levofloxacin injection(455 cases/times,47.05%),Moxifloxacin injection(241 cases/times,24.92%)and Cefmetazole for injection(192 cas-es/times,19.86%). Top 3 drug combination regimen were Cefmetazole for injection+Levofloxacin injection (107 cases/times, 21.88%),Cefoxitin for injection+Levofloxacin injection(96 cases/times,19.63%)and Moxalactam for injection+Levofloxacin in-jection(65 cases/times,13.29%). CONCLUSIONS:Anti-infective therapy regimen of AECOPD patients should be formulated ac-cording to relevant guideline,and pathogenic factors of infection are analyzed. Great importance should be attached to reasonable, scientific,safe and standard use of antibiotics,etiological examination;pathogenic bacteria culture and drug sensitivity test should be conducted as soon as possible. So as to obtain better therapeutic efficacy and reduce the generation of drug-resistant strain.

BACKGROUND:Compared with smooth titanium, titania nanotubes cannot only induce mesenchymal stem cels osteogenic differentiation and promote bone integration, but also be used as drug nanocarriers. OBJECTIVE:To prepare dexamethasone-loaded titania nanotube system and to test its drug release characteristics. METHODS:Titania nanotubes were prepared by electrochemical anodic oxidation, and dexamethasone was dripped onto the prepared titania nanotubes. Subsequently layer by layer self-assembly technology was employed to fabricate gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure on the prepared samples. Scanning electron microscope and contact angle test were carried out during the process of building the gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure. The drug release was measured by a ultraviolet spectrophotometer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the scanning electron microscopy, the fabricated titania nanotubes had integral structure with even tube size of about 70 nm and arranged regularly, and the nanotubes were completely covered and sealed by the gelatin/chitosan multilayered membrane. Contact angle test results showed that ever since the fifth layer, contact angles changed alternately and displayed a zigzag profile. Ultraviolet spectrophotometer test results showed that when cultured for 3 hours, the cumulative drug release was about 32.7% and demonstrated an initial burst folowed by sustained release. When cultured for 24 hours, the cumulative drug release about 52.3%. However, after cultured for 7 days, little drug release was detected. And there was about 8.0%-10.0% dexamethasone of initial loading preserved in nanotubes.

Background The application of femtosecond laser in the corneal refractive surgery has made great progression recent years,but the morphology characteristic of corneal stroma surface after making-flap of femtosecond laser is closely concerned.Objective This study was to analyze the influence of photodisrnption of femtosecond laser on the corneal stroma surface and to investigate the effect of different laser pulse energy on the sudace ultrastructure of corneal stroma.Methods Corneal flaps were made with Visu Max femtosecond laser in 16 fresh porcine eyes with the pulse energy 125 nJ,155 nJ and 195 nJ respectively,and Moria-M2 microkeratome was used as control.Scanning electron microscopy (S-3400N Hitachi High-Technologies Corp) was used to observe and compare the ultrastructural characteristic of corneal stroma bed surface after making of corneal flap.Results The corneal strnma was evaporated and created a smooth surface when photodisrnption happened in the femtosecond laser group.Residual tissue bridges could been exhibited among the cavitation bubbles under the scanning electron microscope.Corneal strnma surface was smooth in the 125 nJ pulse energy group,but some tissue bridges still were visible.In the 155 nJ pulse energy group,much more smooth surface was seen without tissue bridges and mechanical damages on the corneal surface.However,the surface quality was worse and many tissue bridges and grooves existed in the 195 nJ pulse energy group.In addition,different sizes of slots caused by big cavitation bubbles were visible with the round and oval shape.The edges were regular and sharp with small damage zone after cutting with femtoseeond laser.However,many elevated fibril tissues could be seen on the corneal surface after making of flap with microkeratome.Many crimp and irregularity tissues were found on the surface.Blunt surface and indentations appeared in the cutting edge.Conclusions The mierostrueture of corneal stroma surface is more smoother after making of corneal flap with fentosecond laser in comparison with microkeratome.Pulse energy of 155 nJ is preferably during the making-flap with femtosecond laser.
