Objective To research on the proliferation and differentiation in vitro of primordial germ cells. Methods We got plenty of primordial germ cells(PGCs) by co-culture of PGCs with sertoli cells(SCs).The primary cells formed embryoid bodies(EBs) by suspension culture.furthermore,these EBs were plated on gelatin-coated culture plates for spontaneous differentiation. Results We got plenty of PGCs by coculture.Primary PGCs and passaged PGCs for histochemistry staining with AKP and immunohistochemistry staining for SSEA-1 display positive character.The EBs by suspension culture differentiated into epithelial-like,fibroblast-like and neuronal-like cells in vitro. Conclusion Primordial germ cells can proliferate and keep the character of stem cells by co-culture with SCs.PGCs can form EBs by suspension culture,most of these EBs can differentiate into neuronal-like cells,they also can differentiate into epithelial-like and fibroblast-like cells in vitro.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of serum growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor- Ⅰ ( IGF- Ⅰ ) in patients with traumatic long bone fractures and the related clinical significance.MethodsTwenty-one patients with traumatic long bone fractures from the same trauma care center treated between November 2009 and April 2010 were enrolled in the study..There were 14 males and 7 females,at age range of 22-60 years (mean 45.0 years).Seventeen patients (81％) were with closed trauma and four ( 19％ ) with open trauma.Enzyme Linked Immunoadsorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to determine the levels of serum GH and IGF- Ⅰ within 14 days after fractures and the relationship between changes of GH-IGF- Ⅰ axis and injury severity score (ISS) was further analyzed.Eight patients with normal GH/IGF- Ⅰ were set as control group.ResultsThe GH level in the peripheral blood was significantly higher at day 1 after fractures ( P ＜ 0.05 ),and rapidly declined and stabilized at day 5 compared with the control group.The GH level in the patients with ISS≥ 18 points was sigmficantly higher than that in those with ISS＜18 points at day 1 after fractures (P＜0.05).The IGF- Ⅰ level in the peripheral blood in the patients with 1SS≥ 18 points was significantly higher than that in those with ISS ＜ 18 points at days 5-10 after fractures ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe hypothalamus GH-IGF- Ⅰ axis plays an important role in early metabolism and fracture healing during the acute phase of traumatic long bone fractures.

Objective To investigate the impact of symbiotic probiotic fermentation on anti-tumor effect of Agaricus blazei polysaccharide. Methods Probiotic fermentation and non-fermentation of Agaricus blazei polysaccharide samples were divided into large (0.8 g/kg), middle (0.4 g/kg), small (0.2 g/kg) dose groups, and negative control group for a total of 7 group. The anti-tumor effect on tumor-bearing mice was observed. Results The highest inhibition rate of probiotic fermentation Agaricus blazei polysaccharides group was 53.71%, while that of non-fermatation of Agaricus blazei polysaccharide group was 38.90%. Conclusion Inhibition rate of probiotic fermentation samples of Agaricus blazei polysaccharide was significantly higher than non-fermentation samples. Probiotic fermentation can significantly improve the anti-tumor effect of the Agaricus blazei.

Objective: To observe effect of square dance exercises on symptom scores in menopausal women with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: A total of 39 menopausal CHD patients participated in square dance exercises, exercise intensity was 47.2%HRmax～58.1%HRmax（60~120 min/d）, 5~7 times/week, three months, and they were regard as dance group. Control group consisted of 42 CHD women of same age living in the same district, who didn’t take part in exercise. After enrollment, these two groups received assessments of Seattle angina questionnaire (SAQ) and frequent physical and mental symptoms of menopausal women self-rating scale (Kupperman self-rating scale) within 3d and after three months. Results: There were no significant difference in score of each item and total score of SAQ in first assessment between two groups (P>0.05 all). Compared with first assessment and control group after three months, there were significant increase in scores of most items and total score of SAQ [(66.40±15.16) scores vs. (67.18±13.93) scores vs. (85.15±16.30) scores] in dance exercises group, P<0.01~0.05. There were no significant difference in score of each item and total score of Kupperman scale in first assessment between two groups (P>0.05 all). Compared with first assessment and control group after three months, there were significant decrease in scores of most items and total score of Kupperman scale [(29.40±6.51) scores vs. (29.73±6.26) scores vs. (23.65±6.29) scores] in dance exercises group, P<0.01~0.05. Conclusion: Square dance exercises may significantly decrease angina pectoris symptom and menopausal physical and mental symptoms in menopausal women with coronary heart disease.

Objective To evaluate the effect of oral health instructions in nursing of marsupialized jaw cysts. Methods 46 patients with cysts of jaw were divided randomly into two groups (education group and control), 23 in each. In addition of normal nursing processes in both groups, patients in education group were offered more oral health instructions, such as pathogenesis of jaw cysts, mechanism of marsupialization, wear and clean of a cyst plug, and oral hygiene maintenance. 12 months later, compliance, satisfaction, treatment effect and oral hygiene condition of the patients in the two groups were studied and compared. Results 100%of patients in the education group could return to clinical visits on time and 96%of patients did cyst rinsing after every meal, which were significantly higher (χ2=6.9, P<0.05) than in the control (74% and 70% respectively). Patients′satisfaction in the two groups were also significantly different (χ2=9.109,P<0.05). Patients in the education group were much more satisfied with the treatment procedures than control. The treatment effect of the cyst in the education group [good (83%), moderate (17%), not so good (0%)] was significantly (χ2=7.793, P<0.05) better than control (good (43%), moderate (52%), not so good (5%)]. The secondary infection rates in the two groups were similar (χ2=1.022, P>0.05). Oral hygiene condition of patients in the education group was better than control in Debris Index (χ2=9.576, P < 0.05) and Plaque Index (χ2=8.212, P < 0.05). Conclusions Oral health instructions played positive role in improving patients′ compliance, degree of satisfaction, treatment effect and oral hygiene condition in patients with jaw cysts.

Objective:To study the effects of an unique anti-inflammatory herbal preparation Zyflamend(ZF)on 7,12-dimethyl-benz anthracene (DMBA)-induced oral carcinogenesis in golden Syrian hamsters.Methods:10 hamsters were used as the blank controls.106 hamsters were treated topically on the left cheek pouch with 0.5% DMBA solution,3 times per week for 6 weeks. Then the hamsters in positive control group(n =40)were not treated afterwards,in the other 2 groups were treated by topically ap-plication of ZF of original solution(high dose,n =33)and 1 ∶1 dilution(low dose,n =33)respectively.Hamsters were sacrificed at the 24th week and tissue samples of the left cheek pouch were obtained for the examination of tumor incidence,histopathology and BrdU immunohistochemisty.Results:Gross inspection showed that the incidences of the tumor in positive,low dose and high dose groups were 86.7%,53.6%(P <0.01 )and 50.0%(P <0.01 ),histopathological examination showed that the tumor incidences were 86.7%,78.6% and 64.3%,respectively(P <0.05).High dose of ZF significantly decreased the incidence of hyperplasia , dysplasia and cancer(P <0.05);decreased BrdU-labeling index(P <0.05).Conclusion:Zyflamend may inhibit DMBA induced oral carcinogenesis and such prevention may be related to the effect of the suppression of cell proliferation.

In the macrocosmic perspective,the development trend of the rights and obligations of doctors and patients is regarded as changes in the healthcare mode.In the microcosmic perspective,it is regarded as a clarification and emphasis of the informed consent of the patients as required by laws and regulations.However,medical workers tend to neglect their obligation of informing the patients of the medical expenses to be paid out of their own pocket.In this consideration,informing the patients in writing of their self-payment in medical expenses is obligatory and important,i.e,the self-payment agreement is highly important in clinical work.This paper analyzed the legal at-tributes of self-payment agreement in the aspects of both the informed consent and the signing of the medical service contract,with discussions of the tining of signature,in the hope of inspiring and helping medical workers in their clinical practice.

Wearable technology, widely applied in health and medical field, has become an important part of in-telligent healthcare and medicare. However, the data security and privacy protection of wearable health and medi-cal devices are greatly concerned and need to be solved. The characteristics of data security and privacy protection of wearable health and medical devices were thus analyzed and compared with those of traditional health and medi-cal devices. The related studies and laws on domestic and foreign wearable health and medical devices were summa-rized, and the advances, experiences and problems in domestic and foreign wearable health and medical devices were analyzed and compared in order to provide reference for establishing the mechanisms underlying their data se-curity and privacy protection.
