The low survival rate of stem cells in the ischemic myocardium microenvironment is the bottle neck in treating ischemic diseases with stem cell transplantation.It is able to increase anti-apoptotic ability of the stem cells and promote their effective differentiation towards myocardial cells directly and indirectly by pretreating the stem cells with cytokines,drugs or chemical compounds,or modifying gene expression to promote cell adhesion,survival or angiogenesis for repairing ischemic myocardium and improving heart function after transplantation of the stem cells.

Objective To analyze the clinical features, recurrent characters in patients with recurrent Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS). Methods The clinical data of 24 hospitalized patients with recurrent THS from January 2006 to May 2016 were collected The general features, clinical manifestations, disease courses, recurrent features, lab and imaging studies, treatment measures and outcoming of recurrent THS patients was investigated , and compared with 69 patients with first attack THS in corresponding period. Results Recurrent THS patients were 25.8%(24/93) of total THS. The male rate in recurrent group was significantly higher than that in first attack group: 66.7%(16/24) vs. 42.0%(29/69), P<0.05. The involved rate of trigeminal nerves in recurrent group was significantly lower than that in first attack group:16.7%(4/24) vs. 33.0%(23/69), P<0.05. The disease courses were from 3 months to 20 years. The total recurrent frequencies were from 2 to 10 times. The recurrence occurred in the same side in 18 patients, and in contralateral in other 6 patients. The intervals were from 3 months to 6 years, and average intervals were 1.9 years. Two patients recurred in hormone reduction, and 22 patients recurred in hormone withdrawal. All cases received MRI examination. Nineteen patients (79.2%) of them had lesions in cavernous sinus. 16 patients had one side lesions and 3 patients had bilateral lesions. The recurrent patients still had good responds to corticosteroids treatment. Conclusions Recurrences in THS are common, taking place in about 26%total patients, and usually at an interval of months or years from the initial attack. These recurrences may be ipsilateral, contralateral, or rarely, bilateral. Corticosteroids are still effective to recurrent cases.

General practice is a clinical practice which integrates a variety of disciplines and aims at providing basic health care services for individuals, families and communities. General prac-tice in China is now experiencing increasing development. In 2011, the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council approved of the addition of general practice under the category of clinical medicine, initiating the education of postgraduates with professional degree majoring in general prac-tice. Through analyzing supervisor instruction, curriculum, skill training and assessment of postgrad-uates majoring in general practice, this paper thoroughly explored its training mode.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety in the treatment for gravitation wrinkles and unsatisfied shape with raonopolar and bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technique. Methods 28 patients were enrolled in this study. Every patient was treated for four times with an interval of 14 days by Accent Pro radiofrequency electric device (Alma Lasers Ltd). The clinical photographs were taken before and after the treatment, and the parameters were recorded during the treatment. The clinical efficacy and safety was evaluated 1 month after the treatment by comparing photographs and patients' satisfaction. Results Satisfactory rates were as follows: 85 % in doctor side, and 90 % in patients' side. No blister, scald, pigmentation and scar were observed during the treatment. Conclusion High frequency electric technique can be effective for the treatment of gravitation wrinkles and skin tightening by heating tissue deeply and non-invasively. Our clinical study shows that RF is an effective, non-invasive treatment with less pain and low side effects.

To clone overexpressed gene from human gastric carcinoma cell SGC-7901, DDRT-PCR technique is used with human gastric epithelial cell GES-1 as control. After cloned into pGEM -T vector, YA61, one of the overexpressed genes, was analyzed by dot blot and was sequenced then. The sequence gotten was then compared to GenBank data and analyzed by NCBI ORF Finder. Dot blot results showed that the gene YA61 was overexpressed in human gastric carcinoma cell SGC-7901. NCBI's sequence similarity search indicated that the gene YA61 was a new gene sequence. Open reading frame analysis demonstrated that the gene YA61 had one complete open reading frame. In conclusion, the gene YA61 was a new gene sequence that was overexpressed in human gastric carcinoma cell SGC-7901.

Objective To investigate the changes in morphology and senescence-associated markers of the marrow-derived cardiac stem cells (MCSCs) from rats at different ages and to explore the impacts of age on proliferation, survival and differentiation of MCSCs. Methods With single-cell cloning culture, MCSCs were selected from the bone marrow of young, adult and aged male SD rats respectively. Ultrastructural changes of the cells were viewed under a transmission electron microscope.The senescence-associated changes were examined with SA-β-galactosidase staining and reactive oxygen species(ROS) staining. Distribution of cell cycle of MCSCs from different age groups was evaluated with flow cytometric analysis. Rates of the survived and apoptotic cells were determined by Annexin V/PI double-labeled flow cytometric analysis and Hochest33342 staining. Differentiation of the MCSCs toward cardiomyocytes was induced with BMP-2. Expression of cardiac transcription factors and cardiac specific genes of the cells after induction were examined with RT-PCR. CTnT expression of the cells also be examined with immunocytochemistry. Results The nucleus/plasma ratio of the cells from aged rats decrease and there are some myelin bodies in the cells of aged group. With increasing of age, the MCSCs in S+G2/M phase reduce, while β-galactosidase-positive cells and ROS-positive cells increase. Survival rate of the cells from aged rats is lower than that of the cells from young rats. At four week after induction with BMP-2, expression of Nkx2.5, GATA-4, cTnT mRNA and Cx-43 mRNA of the cells of young group increase significantly. In adult and aged group, expression of the cardiac transcription factors and cardiac specific genes is lower than that of the cells in young group. In immunocytochemical staining, cTnT expression of the cells in young group is stronger after induction with BMP-2. As compared with that of the cells in young group, cTnT expression of the cells in aged group is weak after induction. Conclusion With increasing of age, MCSCs show senescent changes, including their abilities of proliferation, survival and differentiation toward cardiomyocytes decrease.

Objective To observe the level of serum hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Methods Thirty patients with IGT (IGT group), 30 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitns (T2DM) (T2DM group) and 30 healthy controls (control group) were recruited for this study. Such indexes as HGF, fasting plasma glucose (FBG), postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c( GHbA1c ), fasting insulin(FINS), systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were examined and these related factors were analyzed. Results The levels of serum HGF in IGT group and T2DM group were higher than those in control group [(413.22 ± 102.48), (422.76 ± 126.77 ), ( 120.45 ± 25.11 ) ng/L, respectively ] (P < 0.05 ). There was no significant different between IGT group and T2DM group (P> 0.05). There was positive correlation between HGF and FBG (r = 0.326, P< 0.05 ). Multiple regression analysis indicated significant correlation between HGF and DBP (r = 4.730, P< 0.05). Conclusion Higher levels of HGF are found in IGT patients, which indicates that function of vascular endothelium is abnormal in this period.
