Chronic kidney disease(CKD) is a major global health issue that leads to end-stage renal disease which untreated.The use of stem cell therapy provides a new perspective in this area.Reviewing the experimental studies of stem cell therapy on CKD,many different,and even contradictory reports in this area were found.In this paper,the recent reports,and present several key issues of experimental stem cell treatment on CKD were reviewed,including the source of stem cell,the sort of experimental animal,the time of treatment and other experimental details.Hoping these may lead more understanding in this area.

This paper focuses on issues needed to be clear towards the product quality supervision of medical devices in use. The life circle of medical devices, the supervision regarding its boundary, target, emphasis, basis and standards have been analyzed in turn. A clear and creative idea is also provided for theoretical exploration of the supervision on medical devices in use.

Objective This study is aimed to assess the accuracy of clinical measurement of remission and investigate the association between clinical remission and the ultrasound imaging assessment of synovitis and infla'mation and to explore the value of ultrasound imaging in the evaluation of disease activity in the tight control of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods RA patients with a disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28-ESR) ≤2.6 for at least 3 months were stratified-using a standard and more stringent DAS28 and simplified disease activity index (SDAI) remission thresholds and the corresponding clinical and ultrasound imaging measures of synovitis were recorded.In addition,a retrospective analysis of disease activity in patients was carried out.Mann-Whitney U test,x2 test and multi-factor analysis of variance of repeated measurements were used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 48 cases were recruited.Thirty-seven cases (77％) met the ACR remission criteria,29 cases (60％) fulfilled the SDAI remission criteria,and 32 (67％) cases reached 2010 ACR/EULAR Boolean-based definition of remission criteria.There was no significant differences on imaging disease activity between SDAI remission patients and those who were not in remission (GS score,P=0.38; PD score,P=0.32).Seventy-nine percent patients in SDAI remission had GS and/or PD activity,but the difference was not statistically different when compared with patients who did not reach SDAI remission (P=0.29).Sustainable remission obtained in patients who also had achieved image remission could have longer remission time (P＜0.01) Conclusion Using more stringent clinical remission criteria could help in reducing residual inflammatory activity of,but ultrasound PD activities may not be significantly reduced.Integrated clinical indicators such as physical examination and imaging tools such as ultrasound can provide more accurate assessment of disease activity and could be used to guide treatment to achieve trueremission.

ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of galvanoiontophoresis combined with ultrashort wave therapy on cervical vertebrae disease-derived arrhythmia.Methods112 patients with cervical vertebrae disease-derived arrhythmia were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group with 56 cases in each group. All patients of two groups were treated with antiarrhythmia drug, Sibelium and traditional Chinese medicine. While, the patients of the treatment group were added with galvanoiontophoresis combined with ultrashort wave therapy to eliminate the aseptic inflammation.ResultsThe cure rate and total effective rate of the treatment group were 51.8% and 94.6%. Those of the control group were 16.1% and 76.8%. The effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group significantly ( P<0.01).ConclusionThe galvanoiontophoresis combined with ultrashort wave therapy has a better effect on cervical vertebrae disease-derived arrhythmia.

Objective:To understand the application status of precursor drugs in the outpatients of our hospital. Methods:Totally 12 kinds of precursor drugs were included in the management. The data of prescriptions in HIS were collected from July 1 to September 30 in 2015. The defined daily dose (DDD), frequency of drug use (DDDs), drug utilization index (DUI) and the other parameters were calculated and the influencing factors were analyzed by the Pareto method. Results: Among the twelve precursor drugs, DUI of seven kinds was less than or equal to 1. Paracetamol tablets, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride tablets, dextromethorphan hydrobromide and chlorphenamine maleate tablets, nicergoline tablets and compound dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets II displayed lower DUI, indicating their clinic application was more reasonable. Conclusion:The data showed that the use of precursor drugs in our hospital is basically reasonable.

Thirty SHRs were obtained randomly to hypertension, model group, captopril group and Qingre jiangya capsule group. Ten Wistar rats were used as control group. The hippocampus tissue was removed to explore the damage of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and the protective effect of Qingre jiangya capsule after continuously administered for 14 days. And then the data were processed by principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The research results revealed captopril group was significantly different from the other three groups. The classification of other three groups is also very clear after captopril group removed. This suggested that Qingre jiangya capsule could improve the overall metabolism compared with captopril. Four metabolites were identified: dimethylglycine, glycerophosphocholine, aldosterone and noradrenaline. Hypertension hippocampus damage may mainly be expressed in tyrosine metabolism, aldosterone-regulated sodium, vascular smooth muscle contraction reabsorption, and Qingre jiangya capsule could reverse the hippocampus tissue damage of SHR.
