1.Hedgehog signal regulates the chondrogenesis from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells:controlling methods and cross-talking relationship with other signals need further studies
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(37):6040-6045
BACKGROUND:The hedgehog pathway has paid an important role in the progress of chondrogenesis from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. However, the definite signal transduction pathway and cross-talking relationship with other common signal pathways are stil poorly understood and the researches related to this field is to continue as a hotspot in the future study. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the research progress of hedgehog signal pathway on the regulation of the chondrogenesis from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and the relationship between hedgehog and other signal pathways in the process. METHODS:A computer-based online search in CNKI, PubMed and Google Scholar databases was performed using key words of“Hedgehog, IHH, SHH, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, cartilage, chondrogenesis”in English and Chinese, respectively. Literatures related to the process of chondrogenesis from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were included and 36 articles were extensively summarized for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are currently accepted optimal cellseeds for the cartilage tissue engineering, and hedgehog is a critical signal molecule in the development of skeletal system. The IHH and SHH in hedgehog signal closely participate in control ing the processes of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellproliferation and chondrogenesis, chondrocyte phenotype maintenance and cooperation with other common single pathways. However, the specific signal transduction mechanism and cross-talking contact with other signal pathways stil need to be further studied, and it stands for the future research directions.

Along with the application and development of the assisted reproductive technology in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer,the emergence of frozen embryos in the law,medicine,and ethics area are gradually increased.Two-child policy makes more older couples choose assisted reproductive technology,which will cause more disputes about frozen embryos.There is no unified conclusion of the legal status of human embryos,and there exists three main views of embryos namely property,person and intermediate state.Defined the legal status of frozen embryos as ethical substance,this paper analyzed the main position and possible legal and ethical issues involved in the disposal of frozen embryos through three typical cases.

OBJECTIVE:To study the anti-inflammatory,antalgic effects and irritation of Fuyan suppository. METHODS:Mouse auricle swelling test(Fuyan suppository 4.5,3.0 and 1.5 g/kg for administration)and mouse vola pedis swelling test(5 min and 0.5,1,4,6 h)were employed to study the anti-inflammatory effect of Fuyan suppository. Mouse writhing response test(Fuy-an suppository 4.5,3.0 and 1.5 g/kg) was used to study the antalgic effect. Rabbit vagina mucosa irritation test was adopted to study the vaginal irritation(Fuyan suppository 1.0 g/rabbit,once daily for one week). RESULTS:Fuyan suppository at a dose of 4.5,3.0 or 1.5 g/kg could inhibit auricle swelling of mice and reduce the times of mice’s writhing response. 3.0 g/kg Fuyan suppos-itory could,at 0.5-6 h from administration,inhibit vola pedis swelling of mice and be nonirritating to the rabbit’s vagina. CON-CLUSIONS:Fuyan suppository has better anti-inflammatory and antalgic effects and is nonirritating to the rabbit’s vagina. Theoreti-cally,vaginal administration of Fuyan suppository can be considered as safe.

Current reform of higher medical education focuses on curriculum integration and corresponding reconstruction of teaching system. Chongqing Medical University has carried out the reform of medical personnel training mode from basic to clinical, which has achieved certain results. Three aspects including teaching content, teaching methods and appraisal system of the urogenital system curriculum integration are introduced in the paper. In the teaching content, the parts related to urogenital system in basic subjects and clinical subjects are extracted and integrated. In the process of teaching implementation, a teaching team is set up across departments and multidisciplinary joint teaching is carried out. In order to arouse the enthusiasm of students, inspire and cultivate students' scientific research thinking by improving teaching methods, several teaching methods such as case introduction teaching method, question discussion and debate meeting are used. Scientific evaluation system is used to observe and record the whole process of students' learning. Meanwhile, some existing problems and solutions of curriculum integration are discussed in the paper to provide references for peers in relevant colleges and universities.

Objective To analyze the characteristic and the clinical application of high -frequency stimulation ABR for the patients with unilateral sudden deafness .Methods 40 patients aged 17~45 with unilateral sudden deaf-ness(40 health ears ,subject group)and 20 normal volunteers (40 ears ,control group)were selected to receive high and low frequency stimulation ABRs and pure tone audiometry .Results There were no statistical differences be-tween subject group and control group in pure tone audiometry .The wave Ⅰlatency of high -frequency ABR was longer in the subject group than that in the control group(P<0 .001) .The abnormal rate of Ⅰ - Ⅴ interval between high and low frequency stimulation ABRs was 62 .5% (25/40) in the subject group ,and 5% (2/40) in the control group .There were statistical differences between the two groups (χ2 =29 .574 ,P<0 .001) .Conclusion The waveⅠlatency of high-frequency ABR was longer and the abnormal rate of Ⅰ - Ⅴ interval markedly increased in the health ear of patients with unilateral sudden deafness .This may suggest that the contralateral ear may have an ab-normal blood supply of the inner ear when single side sudden deafness happened .High frequency stimulation ABR can be used to detect the potential changes of contralateral ear before the hearing loss occurred .

8 oocytes) according to the number of oocytes collected in one ovary. On day of human chorionic gonadotrophin injection, PSV, EDV, PI, RI, S/D of ovarian stromal artery in the ovarian were detected and perifollicular vascularity were graded with color Doppler ultrasonography. Results Not only PSV and EDV of stromal artery but also perifollicular vascularity in low-response group was significantly lower than that of normal-response and high-response groups. PSV and EDV of ovarian stromal artery and perifollicular vascularity were highly interrelated with ovarian response. Conclusions The increase of PSV and EDV of ovarian stromal artery and perifollicular vascilarity indicate the improvement of perfusion in ovary and ovarian response.

AIM: To investigate the crosstalk between angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ)-mediated and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-mediated signal transduction in vascular smooth muscle proliferation.METHODS: A model of renal hypertension was made by two kidney/one-clip operation. Level of PDGF receptor ? subunit of aorta was measured by Western Blot analysis. The effect of Ang Ⅱ on PDGF receptor ? subunit expression was investigated in culture rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC).RESULTS: Systolic blood pressure obviously increased at 8th week after operation, whereas the level of PDGF receptor ? subunit of aorta significantly increased by 126.6% ( P

AIM: To investigate the changes of G?q/11 and phospholipase C(PLC) of the aorta and to evaluate the role of signal transduction pathway mediated by G?q/11 in the pathogenesis of spontaneous hypertension. METHODS: Blood pressure was measured by intubation of carotid, and the level of plasma angiotension Ⅱ was measured by radioimmunoassay. In addition, G?q/11 and PLC contents in aorta were determined by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: Arterial blood pressure was not changed in 4-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR), but it was increased markedly in 12-week-old SHR. The G?q/11 expression of aorta in 4-week-old SHR was increased by 69 2%( P
