A harmonious relationship between doctors and patients is an important aspect of the socialist harmonious society. The key of harmonious relationship is to perform effective humanistic caring for patients, to change the service model, to perfect the attitude of service; the patients should seek scientific medical help and adopt a rational attitude towards possible medical accidents. Thus the kind of concordant ambience will come into being in medical treatment.

OBJECTIVETo compare the releasing of growth factors between platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as well as their effects on the proliferation and differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro.

METHODSBlood was taken from central artery of rabbits, acquiring PRF was acquired through one time centrifuge and PRP through two times centrifuge. Five milliliters of fresh alpha-MEM was added to PRF and PRP and incubated at 37 degrees C. The time points to collect exudates was in day 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 and the mass concentrations of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and platelet derived growth factor-AB(PDGF-AB) were quantified in PRF and PRP. Then the exudates of PRF and PRP were used to culture ADSCs and evaluate the effects of PRF and PRP on proliferation and differentiation of ADSCs.

RESULTS1) Growth factor release: In the PRF exudates at different time points, the mass concentration of TGF-beta1 was the highest at day 14 and the highest mass concentration of PDGF-AB at day 7, the mass concentration of both TGF-beta1 and PDGF-AB was the highest at the first day and then gradually declined. 2)The effect on proliferation and differentiation: PRF exudates of day 14 expressed the maximum proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. PRF exudates of day 1 demonstrat the maximum proliferation and ALP activity.

CONCLUSIONComparing to PRP, PRF releases growth factors gradually and expressed stronger and more durable effect on proliferation and differentiation of ADSCs in vitro.

Objective To identify the prevalence and etiology of kidney disease and the related risk factors in type 2 diabetic patients in rural Shanghai.Methods A cross-sectional study in type 2 diabetic patients was conducted in a community of Shanghai.Questionnaire,clinical examination and laboratory tests were completed to collect the information about sociodemographic and healthcare characteristics.Results A total of 1421 eligible patients with complete information were screened from 1487 type 2 diabetic patients between November 2008 and March 2009.Of them,40.75％ were men,59.25％ were women,aged 37-86 (61.33 ± 9.65 ) years old,with diabetic duration of 0.25-43.92 (7.85 ± 6.34) years.Among them,43.42％ had diabetic retinopathy,21.18％ had neuropathy; 69.95％ met the screening definition for hypertension,76.07％ for hyperlipidemia,15.55％ for hyperuricemia and 23.65％ for cardiovascular disease.The control rates of fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,blood pressure and serum cholesterol were 57.71％,33.99％,14.22％ and 2.46％,respectively.The prevalence of kidney disease,diabetic nephropathy and non-diabetic renal disease was 41.31％,18.51％ and 13.44％,respectively; and 9.36％ were diagnosed as renal insufficiency of unknown reasons.Age,diabetic duration,hyperuricemia,diabetic retinopathy and poor control of blood pressure were independently associated with kidney disease;age and poor control of blood pressure were independently associated with diabetic nephropathy; age and hyperuricemia were independent risk factors of renal insufficiency in patients with diabetic nephropathy.Conclusions Although the diabetic duration of these subjects is relatively short,the prevalence of complications including diabetic nephropathy is high.The high prevalence of non-diabetic renal disease shows the importance of further screening and diagnoses for prevention.Strict control of blood glucose,blood pressure,serum cholesterol and serum uric acid are key points of cutting down the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy and chronic kidney disease.
