BACKGROUND:The preparation of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been clinical y used in the repair of ocular surface trauma. However, the concentration of these growth factors that achieve the maximal healing effect and the comparison of two kinds of growth factors on promoting wound healing are stil controversial.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of rhEGF and bFGF on the cloning of human corneal epithelial cells.
METHODS:The human corneal epithelial cells cultured in vitro were interfered with rhEGF and bFGF under different concentrations. The proliferation of human corneal epithelial cells was detected using MTT assay after 3, 5, 7 days of growth factors treatment. Plate clone formation assay was applied to observe the morphology of cellclone and analyze clone formation rate of human corneal epithelial cells.
RESULTS and CONCLUSION:MTT value shows that 10μg/L rhEGF and 10μg/L bFGF on day 5 were the most powerful concentration. The clone formation rate of human corneal epithelial cells after treated with 10μg/L rhEGF was higher than that with 10μg/L bFGF (P=0.02). The results confirmed that both rhEGF and bFGF could promote the proliferation and increase clone formation ability of human corneal epithelial cells. 10μg/L rhEGF for 5 days achieves the best effect on promoting clone formation of human corneal epithelium cells.

Objective To analyze and summarize the clinical features of delayed occurrence of senile asthma,to add the knowledge and understanding of the disease. Methods To retrospectively analyze clinical data of the cases of senile asthma treated in our hospital,all the cases were divided into groups of early onset senile asthma and delayed occurrence senile asthma,according to the age of first onset.Then related indexes were analyzed,to summarize the clinical features of group of delayed occurrence of senile asthma. Results There were 28 cases of delayed occurrence of senile asthma,accounting for 34.6% of total cases.Compared to early onset group,there was no significant difference (all P＞0.05) between two groups for the following items such as age,allergic history and positive rate of family's history,disease causes,clinical symptoms,basic diseases and complications,proportion of severe cases,rate of misdiagnosis and mistreatment,proportion of standardized treatment and un-standardized treatment,prognosis of diseases and mortality.Both groups had low rate of knowledge and application on PEF monitoring equipment and ACT score.The period of misdiagnosis and mistreatment for delayed occurrence group was shorter than the early onset group (P＜0.05＝; the seasonal nature and day and night pattern was significant in delayed occurrence group (P＜0.05＝. Conclusion Late onset elderly asthma had the features such as shorter course of the disease,relatively obvious onset rule during day and night,and obvious symptoms during night,which are different from that of early onset group.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics in chronic severe hepatitis B patients with HbeAg-positive and HbeAs-negative.Methods A total of 95 chronic severe hepatitis B cases were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical information,hepatic function,hepatic fibrosis and HBV DNA in HBeAg-negative and HBeAgpositive groups were analyzed.Results of the 95 cases,54(57% ) were HBeAg-negative and 41(43% ) were HBeAg-positive.No significant differences were found on age,ALB,TB,CHE,indexes of hepatic fibrosis and the ratio of complications between HBeAg-negative group and HBeAg-positive group.Compared with HBeAg-positive group,there were significantly higher levels of ALT(198.25±215.37)U/L vs(400.37±413.59)U/L],AST[(254.78±269.16)U/L vs(578.14±600.23)U/L] and lower level of HBV DNA[(6.17×10~6±8.24×10~1)copies/ml vs (2.39×10~5±6.75×10~1) copies/ml] in HBeAg-negative group(P<0.05).The anteroposterior diameter of the left liver and the thickness of right liver were(65.12±12.43)mm and(95.37.±12.69)mm in the HBeAg positive fatal chronic severe hepatitis B before the terminal phase,vs(56.78±11.04)mm and(89.34.±9.23)mm in the HBeAg negative group,and the former is longer than the later(P<0.05).Conclusion Tissue injury is more serious and the level of HBV DNA is lower in HBeAg-negative patients than HBeAg-positive patients.Liver size of HBeAg negative group reduces more significantly than HBeAg positive group before terminal phase.

This paper is to report the investigation on the metabolic behavior of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) after given Qingkailing injection, and with the aim of seeking for a new quality control method based on biological assessment. The growth thermogenic curves of S. aureus were determined by microcalorimetry and analyzed by computer. The results showed that in the concentration range of (0-5.00%), the growth thermogenic curves of S. aureus were declined and removed back with increasing dosage of Qingkailing injection; the main parameters (T1, T2, k1, P1, P2 and I) and the dosage of Qingkailing injection have good correlation. The 50% inhibiting dosage is 3.26 %, and the optimal inhibiting dosage is 5.47%. Difference could be detected among the Qingkailing injection samples from different factories and different batches. It is proved that Qingkailing injection could inhibit the metabolic behavior of S. aureus, and microcalorimetry might be applied in the quality assessment of Qingkailing injection.

Multi-Efficacy of One Drug (MEOD) refers to the traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) with diverse efficacies.MEOD,one of the important characteristics of TCM,is regarded as the basis of clinical rational drug use.However,there have been few reports on the MEOD research so far.In this paper,with rhubarb selected as a typical model drug,metabolomics and network pharmacology analysis are integrated to investigate the mechanisms of MEOD with the employment of the two animal models of constipation and jaundice.Then,the biological target network of MEOD is established for promoting the precision of the quality control and clinical use of TCM.

Pelvic fractures accounted for about 3% of all fracture patients.With the development of the industry, the increase of the mechanical work, car accidents, falls and other accidents occurred frequently, in every 100000 people per year on average, there are 20 to 27 people with pelvic fracture.Among them, the proportion of patients with high energy injury increased significantly, and the teratogenic rate, disability rate and mortality rate remained high.Meanwhile, people's understanding of pelvic fracture and their demands for quality of life are getting higher and higher.Based on the diagnosis and treatment progress of pelvic fracture in recent years, the treatment of emergency treatment, reduction, fixation and sequelae of pelvic fracture were reviewed.

Objective Our previous study demonstrated that toll-like receptor 2(TLR2) can distinguish extraneous antigen and prevent the immunological response. This study was designed to detect the expression of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) mRNA in cornea and investigate the effect of steroid on TLR2 expression in rats cornea following allograft penetrating keratoplasty. Methods The penetrating keratoplasty models were established in SPF rats with the 108 SD rats as receiptors and 36 SPF Wistar rats as donors, and other 6 SPF SD rats worked as normal controls. The receiptor rats were divided randomly into autograft group, allograft group and steriod group. The clarity and neovascularization of corneas of experiment rats were examined under the slit-lamp microscope and the rejection index was calculated based on Holland criteria. Corneal histopathological examination was carried out by hemotoxylin and eosin staining under the light microscope, and real time-PCR was employed for the detect of TLR2 mRNA in the corneas at the fifth, seventh and ninth day after operation. The experimental animals were obtained from the Animal Experimental Center of Southern Medical University and the procedure followed the Statement of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Results The rejection occurred in 7 days after operation in allograft group, and only mild edema, opacity and neovascularization of corneas were found at different degrees in 9 days after operation in autograft group and steriod group. Severe corneal edema, a lots of inflammatory cells infiltration and new vessels in stroma were seen in allograft group, and mild inflammatory response was found in autograft group and steriod group. Normal comeal structure was exhibited in normal control group under the light microscope. The fold differences of TLR2 mRNA expression in cornea after amplification was significantly different among three groups and different time points (F_(group) = 39. 46, P = 0. 00; F_(time) =35. 38, P = 0. 00 ; F_(interaction) = 45. 66, P =0. 00), and the evident enhance of TLR2 mRNA expression was revealed in allograft group compared with autograft group (P ＜ 0. 05) and declined in steriod group (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Steriod may restrain the acute allograft rejection by down-regulating the expression of TLR2 in corneas and its signals transaction. This result suggests that steriod offer a protection from rejection of cornea after penetrating keratoplasty.

Objective To investigate the effects of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)treatment interval on the prognosis of patients with advanced hepatocellular caisinoma(HCC).Methods We retrospectively collected clinical data of 123 advanced HCC patients treated with repeated TACE.The patients were divided into two groups (group A with fixed repeated treatment interval and group B with that according to the clinical needs).Cox regression,survival curve and log-rank test were used to assess the effects of the treat-ment intervals on prognosis.Results The treatment intervals of the group A and group B were (1.1±0.3)months and (3.0±1.5) months,respectively (P <0.001).Multivariate Cox analysis showed the efficacy (P =0.024)and repetition periods (P <0.001 ) were independent prognostic factors.Conclusion TACE interval is independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with ad-vanced HCC.Repeated TACE treatment according to clinical needs may be more favorable for prognosis of the patients.

Objectives To discuss the clinical characteristic, cause and measures to prevention and control of nosocomial infection in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods Retrospectively analyzed an nosocomial infection outbreak of Klebsiella pneumoniae in NICU. Results From Sept. 3, 2010 to Oct. 3, 2010, there were 7 cases of hospital infection in 12 cases of sputum cultured Klebsiella Pneumoniae. The gestational age (GA) of 7 hospital infection cases was 28.5±2.6 week. The birth weight of infection cases was 941.4±309.8 g. The onset of infection was at 31.7±12.8 d of hospitalization. The nosocomial incidence was 2.41%in the hospital, which was 5.79%in preterm infants, 50.00%in GA<28w infants, and 42.86%in extremely low birth weight infant (ELBW). All sputum culture results were displayed as multi-drug resistant of Klebsiella pneumoniae, penicillin and third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic resistance rate of 75%to 100%. The resistance rates to penicillin and cephem antibiotics were 75% -100%, carbapenems was 58.3%, piperacillin/tazobactam was 25.0%. All nosocomial patients were cured. Conclusions GA<28w and ELBW infants are at increased risk of nosocomial infection in NICU. The emergence of carbapenems resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae has been increasing with the widespread use of carbapenems. Hospital infection can be controlled by standardized medical behavior, which can decline the nosocomial infection incidence and mortality of preterm infants in NICU.
