Objective To observe the effect of Diosmin Tablets about the prevention and treatment of edema that breaks out after a circular mixed hemorrhoids operation and the role of fibrosis on edema.Methods Having 120 cases of circular mixed hemorrhoid patients, Acco 60 cases were randomly divided into treatment group and the others were in comparison group.Both groups were outside the cut line of circular mixed hemorrhoid ligation within the injection, after these operations do conventional anti-inflammatory, hemostasia and local Ma Ying Long musk hemorrhoids ointment medication.The next day of the operation, the treatment group take a dose of Diosmin tablets 1.5 g bid 4 d, then changing the dose 1 g bid 3 d.ResultsThe incidence of edema, treatment group was 6.6% and the other group was 30%.edema in the incidence of the two groups were significantly different(P ＜ 0.01).The treatment group non-fibrosis, but the other group have 4 patients getting fibrosis.The two sets of rate about edema fibrosis were significantly different(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Diosmin Tablets can effectively do prevent and disperse circular mixed hemorrhoid postoperative edema.

Objective To detect the levels of Th1 and Th2 type cytokines of peripheral blood CD+4 T lymphocytes in the patients with cervical cancer in order to find out the laboratory evidence of tumor immunotherapy. Methods The peripheral blood lymphocytes were stimulated by stimulator in order to enhance expression of cytokines. Then specific fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibody was added to be combined with its specific antigen. Results The level of IL-2 produced by Th1 cells were lower in patients of cervical cancer than those of normal controls, there were significant difference between them. But the level of IFN-? produced by Th1 cells had no significant change in patients of cervical cancer in comparison with normal controls. The levels of Th2 type cytokines such as interleukin-4(IL-4), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-10(IL-10) were higher in patients of cervical cancer than those of normal controls, there were significant difference between them. Conclusion Th1/Th2 is imbalance in cervical cancer .Th1 type cytokines are inhibited, and Th2 type cytokines are relatively enhanced, so Th1/Th2 shifts to Th2. It may be the mechanism of tumor arising and transferring by immune escape from immunosurveillance.

0.05. Conclusion: The suppressive effect of MSC on patients with ITP in vitro showed no difference from that on the controls.

BACKGROUND:Platelet lysate has been known as a kind of lysate of autologous or alogeneic platelet-rich products. It not only removes the residual cel structure, reduces immunogenicity, but also retains many growth factors. Platelet lysate has been suggested as a substitute for fetal bovine serum to expand mesenchymal stem cels in vitro. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of platelet lysate on biological characteristics of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels, and provide some experimental data for clinical cel therapy and regenerative medicine. METHODS:Platelet lysate was prepared by repeated freezing and thawing from fresh blood. Healthy adult bone marrow and adipose tissue were colected. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels were obtained by density gradient centrifugation and type I colagenase digestion. We tested the morphology, cel phenotype, differentiation characteristics, proliferation capacity, colony forming ability and the level of cytokine secretion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels after cultured with platelet lysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels were successfuly cultured in vitro using platelet lysate. There were no significant differences in morphology, cel phenotype, colony forming ability and the level of cytokine secretion, and chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic capacities between bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and adipose mesenchymal stem cels. Adipose mesenchymal stem cels had a high cumulative population doublings than bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (P < 0.05). These findings suggest adipose mesenchymal stem cels had a stronger proliferative ability, and are more suitable for large-scale expansionin vitro cultivation system of platelet lysate compared with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells have been an important source of seed cells for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and immunosuppressive therapy areas. The large expansion is the key to the clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress in the in vitro expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells in animal serum-free media. METHODS:A computer-based online retrieval of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed to search papers published between 2004 and 2014 using the key words of“mesenchymal (stromal) stem cells, animal serum-free media, humanized media, human serum, umbilical cord blood serum, platelet rich plasma, platelet lysate, defined medium”in English and Chinese, respectively. Final y, 41 articles were retained. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human serum, umbilical cord blood serum, platelet rich plasma, platelet lysate and defined medium can replace fetal bovine serum for large-scale expansion of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. These media or additives have their advantages and disadvantages;therefore, it is urgent to guarantee the functional effectiveness and transplantation safety before large-scale, systematic clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective To study the relation between kidney function impairment and respiratory tract infections(RTI) in the elderly.Methods Two hundred and twenty-four patients above 65 years old were divided into five groups according to stages of chronic renal disease and estimated glomerular filtration rate (e GFR):(A group,n =65):≥90 ml/(min · 1.73 m2),(B group,n =55):60-89 ml/(min · 1.73 m2),(C group,n =27):30-59 ml/(min · 1.73 m2),(D group,n =28):15-29 ml/(min · 1.73 m2) and(E group,n =49):＜ 15 ml/(min · 1.73 m2).Taking A group as the control baseline.Logistic regression was employed to analyze the relationship between kidney function and RTL Results Compare with A group(10.8％,7/65),the incidences of RTI in three groups(C group,D group and E group were 63.0％ (17/27),85.7％ (24/28) and 100％ (49/49) respectively.The incidence in these groups was higher than that in A group(x2 =26.95,49.46 and 89.00 respectively,P ＜ 0.05).We identified the risk factors with RTI were smoking (Waldx2 =17.66,P ＜ 0.01),respiratory underlying diseases(Waldx2 =14.38,P ＜0.01),invasive operation history(Waldx2 =4.50,P ＜ 0.05),diabetes (Waldx2 =3.86,P ＜ 0.05),stay in hospital for above 2 weeks (Waldx2 =18.18,P ＜ 0.01),Gender(Waldx2 =4.12,P ＜ 0.05),eGFR (Waldx2 =13.57,P ＜ 0.01).After adjusting for other risk factors of RTI,Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of RTI still increased with the decrease of eGFR (eGFR≥90 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =0.053,P ＞0.05);60-89 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =0.046,P＞0.05) ;30-59 ml/(minl · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =7.61,P＜0.05),15-29 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =4.38,P＜0.05); ＜15 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =13.57,P＜0.01)).Conclusion Kidney function impairment in patients above 65 years old is an independent risk factor for RTI.

BACKGROUND:Atherosclerosis is a common complication in diabetic nephropathy and hemodialysis patients. The effect of hemodialysis duration and other relative factors on the atherosclerosis of patients with diabetic nephropathy needs to be further observed and explored. OBJECTIVE:To observe the atherosclerosis in the patients with different hemodialysis durations, then to evaluate the effect of hemodialysis duration and other relative factors on atherosclerosis of patients with diabetic nephropathy. METHODS:The intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group, non-diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group and end-stage renal disease non-hemodialysis group was detected with high-frequency ultrasonic testing, and the healthy volunteers were as the normal control group. The relationship between the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the hemodialysis patients and hemodialysis duration was analyzed, and the changes of insulin resistance in each group were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal control group, the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group and non-diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was increased (P<0.01);there was no significant difference of intima-media thickness of the carotid artery between 24 hours diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group and end-stage renal disease non-hemodialysis group (P>0.05);the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the 60 months diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was higher than that in the 24 hours diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group (P<0.05);the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the 60 months diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was significantly higher than that in the end-stage renal disease non-hemodialysis group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference of intima-media thickness of the carotid artery between 60 months diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group, end-stage renal disease non-hemodialysis group and 24 hours diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group (P>0.05). The homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance value in the 24 hours diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was slightly lower than that in the diabetic nephropathy non-emodialysis group (P<0.05), and the homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance value in the 60 months diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was significantly lower than that in the diabetic nephropathy non-emodialysis group (P<0.01). The development of atherosclerosis on diabetic nephropathy patients can be affected by hemodialysis to some extent. And the effect is correlated with the hemodialysis duration.
