AIM: To confirm the existence of the endothelial progenitor cells in human cord blood and to study its differentiation and development process. METHODS: The mononuclear cells in human cord blood were isolated using lymphocyte separation solution. Then the mononuclear cells were cltured in MCDB131 containing 20% fetal bovine serum. The effects of 5 ?mol/L dexamethasone,the extract from bovine brain,insulin and hypoxanine on the proliferation and differentiation of the adherent cells were observed. The morphology of the adherent cells were examined twice daily by inverted phase contrast microscope. CD34 and CD14 expression were determined by FACS. Immunohistochemistry was used to confirm the expression of factor Ⅷ. RESULTS: The proliferative endothelial progenitor cells existed within the CD34 - adherent mononuclear cells of human cord blood. Dexamethasone and hypoxanine decreased the number of spindle-shaped cells and caudated cells. Bovine brain extract,insulin and FCS enhanced the number of spindle-shaped cells and caudated cells. CONCLUSION: The existence of endothelial progenitor cells within the CD34 - adherent monouclear cells of the human cord blood was observed and these cells were able to differentiate into endothelial-like cells in vitro.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of fire-needle acupuncture in treating myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Method Seventy-two patients with MPS were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 36 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by fire-needle acupuncture, while the control group was by ordinary acupuncture. The short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) was observed before and after the intervention, and the clinical efficacy was compared. Result The total effective rate and markedly-effective rate were respectively 94.4% and 77.8% in the treatment group versus 80.6% and 30.6%in the control group. There was a significant difference in comparing the markedly-effective rate between the two groups (P<0.01). The MPQ item scores [pain rating index (PRI), present pain intensity (PPI), and visual analogue scale (VAS)] were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P<0.05). After intervention, the MPQ item scores of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Fire-needle acupuncture is an effective method in treating MPS.

To investigate the short term anti HBV efficacy of foscarnet sodium, sixty seven patients with various types of chronic hepatitis B were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group (47 cases) was assigned to receive foscarnet sodium 3 0g by intravenous infusion twice daily in addition to general liver protective medicine for 15 days. The control group (20 cases) was treated with regular liver protective medicine only. The quantity of HBV DNA was measured with equivalent competitive PCR combining with DNA hybridization quantitative detection technique before and after treatment (once a week). The HBV markers and liver functions were also tested before and after treatment. In antiviral therapy group, the patients with different types of hepatitis B had their liver functions improved. HBV DNA in 13 patients became negative by PCR. Two of HBeAg positive patients became sero converted. Foscarnet sodium can inhibit HBV efficiently and quickly. The replication of HBV DNA can be greatly suppressed in the first week but without significant change in the second week in some cases. Foscarnet can be one of the drugs of choice in a combined therapy or as the initial drug in a sequential therapeutic regime.

Objective To design an approach above the fibular head for treating posterolateral tibial plateau fracture,and to investigate its feasibility,advantages and disadvantages in clinical application.Methods Ten frozen adult cadaveric knees were dissected to observe the correlation of the important lateral structures and effect of knee flexion on tensity of the lateral collateral ligament.The distance (OA) from superior border of facies articularis capitis fibulae to lateral edge of articular surface of tibial plateau and the distance (OB) from the cross point of lateral collateral ligament and facies articularis capitis fibulae level to lateral edge of articular surface of tibial plateau were measured.According to the anatomic measurement results,the approach above the fibular head was designed.Then 12 patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fracture were treated through this approach,and the short-term clinical results were evaluated.Results The value of OA ranged from 9.43 to 14.92 mm (average,12.97±1.83 mm).At 0° of genuflex,the lateral collateral ligament was tense and the average value of OB was 4.87±0.33 mm.During the course of genuflex,the lateral collateral ligament got loose following which the value of OB became larger.At 60° of genuflex,the lateral collateral ligament was most loose,and the posterolateral tibial plateau could be exposed completely by drawing posterolaterally lateral collateral ligament and rotating medially tibia.All patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months (average,18 months).The average bone healing time was 10.2 weeks (8 to 12 weeks).According to Rasmussen's knee functional score system,the results were excellent in 10 cases and good in 2 cases.No complications occurred,such as numbness of limbs,instability of the knee and internal fixation loosening.Conclusion The approach above the fibular head is feasible,simple and safe for treating posterolateral tibial plateau fracture.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of remifentanil target-controlled infusion (TCI) system in children.Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ patients, aged 3-12 yr, weighing 10-40 kg, scheduled for elective ear-nosethroat or urological surgery, were randomly divided into 2 groups with 15 patients in each group:2 ng/ml remifentanil group (group Ⅰ) and 4 ng/ml remifentanil group (group Ⅱ). Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of propofol 2 mg/kg and TCI of remifentanil. Remifentanil was administered with a specific TCI system incorporating the pharmacokinetic parameters of Minto.The target plasma concentrations of remifentanil were set at 2 or 4 ng/ml. Tracheal intubation was facilitated with vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg after the children lost consciousness. The children were mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with TCI of remifentanil, iv infusion of propofol and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium. The target plasma concentration of remifentanil remained unchanged and bispectral index value was maintained at 45-65 or auditory evoked potentials index value ＜ 30 by adusting the infusion rate of propofol.Arterial blood samples were taken at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min after TCI remifentanil was stared for determination of blood remifentanil concentrations by high performance liquid chromatography. Median prediction performance error (MDPE),median absolute performance error (MDAPE) and wobble of remifentanil TCI system were calculated. Results The measured concentrations of remifentanil were significantly higher than the target plasma concentrations in both groups (P＜0.05). The MDPE, MDAPE and wobble were 20.0% , 30.0% and 25.0% respectively in group Ⅰ , and 17.5%, 17.5% and 12.5% respectively in group Ⅱ . TheMDAPE and wobble were significantly decreased in group Ⅱ compared with group Ⅰ(P＜0.05).Conclusion When remifentanil is administered using a specific TCI system incorporating the pharmacokinetic parameters of Minto in children of 3-12 years old, the accuracy is not high.

Objective To study the reproductive health status among unmarried floating females in Dongguan city. Methods A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the information about reproductive health among unmarried floating females in the department of gynaecology and obstetrics and department of dermatology and venerology of 5 general hospitals in Dongguan city. Results Premarital sexual behavior, gynecological diseases, sexually transmitted diseases were reported in 23.71%, 35.11% and 5.41% of 3509 young women. The prevalence of sexual behavior, vaginitis and cervicitis was significantly higher in senior group (>24 years old)than those in junior group (=24 years) (26.39% vs 21.16%; 21.25% vs 17.93%; 8.99% vs 6.85%), but the induced abortion rate in junior group was superior to that in senior group (32.50% vs 23.72%). The morbidity of vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and menoxenia increased remarkably in the females with sexual behavior compared with those without sexual behavior (29.33% vs 16.51%; 7.21% vs 1.16%; 16.47% vs 1.53%). Conclusions There exists a high prevalence of premarital sexual behavior among the unmarried floating females in Dongguan city. Premarital sexual behavior reinforces the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and other genital disorders.
