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.
