BACKGROUND:Stem cel s can be induced to differentiate into dopaminergic neurons in vivo and in vitro, which provides a theoretical basis for stem cel transplantation in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
OBJECTIVE:To explore the feasibility and mechanism of intracerebral transplantation of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s for treatment of Parkinson’s disease rats.
METHODS:Intracerebral injection of 6-hydroxydopamine was used to make Parkinson’s disease models in SD rats. Twenty-two model rats were randomized into cel transplantation group (n=12) and control group (n=10) and respectively injected intracerebral y with umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel suspension and PBS. At 1-8 weeks after cel transplantation, intra-abdominal injection of apomorphine was performed every week to observe the rotation behaviors of rats;at the 2nd and 8th weeks, rat’s striatum and substantia nigra were taken for immunohistochemistry staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The rotation behaviors were gradual y decreased with time in the cel transplantation, but had no changes in the control group. At 3-8 weeks after transplantation, there were significant differences in the rotation behaviors between the two groups (P<0.05). At 2 weeks after transplantation, tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cel s were found within and around the striatum of the cel transplantation group;but there were no exogenous cel s in the control group. At 8 weeks after transplantation, there were stil active cel s and tyrosine hydroxylase-positive cel s in the striatum of cel transplantation group, and there was no tyrosine hydroxylase expression in the striatum of the control group. These findings suggest that transplanted umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s can survive in the brain that are positive for tyrosine hydroxylase, which can improve the behavior abnormalities of Parkinson’s disease rats.

Objective To establish a simple diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) rat model with the high fat-fed in GK rats. Methods A total of 30 GK rats (7-8 weeks) were fed with high-fat diet to establish the DPN model. Thirty normal Wistar rats were fed with ordinary diet (control group). The blood-sugar value, body mass, water-intake and food-intake were monitored every week in two groups. The serum level of glycosylated hemoglobin, the right sciatic nerve conduction velocity were detected at 8, 12 and 16 weeks respectively. The left sciatic nerve was used for HE and TUNEL staining. Results The manifestations of polydipsia, polyphagia and growth retardation were gradually appeared in GK rats. After 12 and 16 weeks, the blood-sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin were significantly increased in GK rats compared with those of normal Wistar rats (P < 0.01). The sensory nerve conduction velocity decreased obviously (P < 0.01). And motor nerve conduction velocity showed a certain decline trend (12 week P < 0.05,16 week P > 0.05). The sciatic nerve pathological features and Schwann cell apoptosis suggested that the model of DPN was successfully established (apoptosis index, P <0.01). Conclusion GK rats fed by high-fat diet are the satisfactory models of the DPN in experimental research. And 12-week is a suitable and economical time for molding.

Objective:To investigate the current status of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRO) wound infections in patients with autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs), and to analyze their risk factors.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted, and inpatients with AIBDs accompanied by wound infections were collected from Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2020 to December 2022. A descriptive analysis was carried out to analyze the basic characteristics of these patients and pathogenic characteristics of MDRO. Univariate and binary logistic regression models were used to analyze independent risk factors for MDRO infections in patients with AIBDs. Differences between the MDRO infection group and common bacterial infection group were analyzed by using t test, Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test. Results:Totally, 271 patients with AIBDs accompanied by wound infections were included, including 159 males (58.7%) and 112 females (41.3%), and 142 patients (52.4%) were aged over 60 years. Most patients with AIBDs were diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris (131 cases, 48.3%), or bullous pemphigoid (99 cases, 36.5%). Bacterial culture was positive in all the patients, and 74 (27.3%) were infected with MDRO; a total of 108 strains of MDRO were detected, with relatively high detection rates of Staphylococcus (82 strains, 75.9%) and Enterobacter (15 strains, 13.9%). Significant differences were observed between the MDRO infection group and the common bacterial infection group in the duration of hospitalization, involved body surface area, proportions of patients self-modificating drug dosage, proportions of patients topically using antibiotic ointments, proportions of patients using immunosuppressants, duration of glucocorticoid use, maximum dose of glucocorticoids and the first albumin level at admission (all P < 0.05), while there were no significant differences in the gender, age, proportions of patients at first hospitalization, types of AIBDs, duration of education, body mass index, disease duration, proportions of smoking patients, proportions of drinking patients, proportions of patients with comorbid chronic diseases, surgical history, prevalence of hypoalbuminemia, prevalence of mucosal involvement, proportions of patients receiving topical glucocorticoids, proportions of patients using biological agents, duration of antibiotic use, and the first total protein level at admission between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the use of topical antibiotic ointments, use of immunosuppressants, maximum dose of glucocorticoids, and self-modification of drug dosage were independent risk factors for MDRO infections (all P < 0.05) . Conclusions:The patients with AIBDs were prone to develop MDRO infections in wounds, and Staphylococcus infections were the most common. The use of topical antibiotic ointments, use of immunosuppressants, high dose of glucocorticoids, and self-modification of drug dosage may increase the risk of infections in patients with AIBDs.

Objective:To explore the effect of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) during labor on delivery outcomes in low-risk pregnant women and the risk factors of cesarean section.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in a total of 206 full-term pregnant women with singleton and cephalic presentation at the delivery center in our hospital from March 15th to May 15th, 2022. Standard diet education was given to all those women by midwives. Pregnant women who received the enteral nutrient solution prepared by the Department of Clinical Nutrition during labor were in the ONS group ( n = 110), while those who did not were in the control group ( n = 96). The baseline characteristics and delivery outcomes were compared between the two groups, and the risk factors of cesarean section were also analyzed. Results:There were no significant differences in terms of maternal age, height, baseline weight, baseline body mass index (BMI), weight gain during pregnancy, prenatal BMI, gestational week, intraspinal labor analgesia, oxytocin, gastrointestinal intolerance, neonatal length, and weight between the two groups ( P > 0.05). However, the total oral energy intake during labor in the ONS group was significantly higher than that in the control group ([1 349.99± 569.51] kJ vs [249.59 ± 455.19] kJ, P < 0.01). The rate of vaginal delivery in the ONS group was significantly higher than that in the control group (93.6% vs 81.3%, P = 0.01), and the duration of the first stage of labor ([487.06 ± 232.94] min vs [416.17 ± 191.13] min, P = 0.03) was also significantly longer in the ONS group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the duration of the second and third stages of labor, perineal laceration, cervical laceration, vaginal laceration, amount of bleeding, hospital stay, and Apgar score after birth ( P > 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that maternal age was a risk factor for changing to cesarean section in women with low-risk pregnancies ( OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.40, P = 0.02), while ONS during labor ( OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.85, P = 0.02) and intraspinal labor analgesia ( OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.26, P < 0.01) were protective factors. Conclusions:ONS during labor can significantly increase the vaginal delivery rate, without increasing the incidence of gastrointestinal intolerance in low-risk pregnant women. Maternal age is a risk factor for cesarean section while ONS during labor and intraspinal labor analgesia are protective factors in women with low-risk pregnancies.
