BACKGROUND:Currently, cellular composition and the features of the nucleus pulposus are stil not to be clarified.
OBJECTIVE:To establish the in vitro culture system of rat nucleus pulposus-derived mesenchymal stem cells and to identify their multi-lineage differentiation potential.
METHODS:Mesenchymal stem cells from the nucleus pulposus tissues of Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured in vitro. Then, cells at passage 3 were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes as experimental group. cells cultured with basic culture medium served as controls.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:cells isolated from rat nucleus pulposus could form the sunflower-like colonies and exhibit clone-like growth when they cultured at a low density. cells at passage 3 became homogeneous and exhibited fibroblast-like morphology. After 28 days of osteogenic induction, arizarin red positive signals were detected in the experimental group. The mRNA expressions of RunX2, osteopontin and osteocalcin were significantly increased in the experimental group, compared to the control group (P<0.05). After 21 days of adipogenic induction, oil red-O positive cells were detected in the experimental group. The mRNA expressions of C/EBPαand PPARγ2 were significantly increased in the experimental group, compared to the control group (P<0.05). After 21 days of chondrogenic induction, safranin O/fast green staining was positive in the experimental group. The mRNA expressions of aggrecan and Col2a1 were significantly increased in the experimental group, compared to the control group (P<0.05). Our findings in this study suggested that nucleus pulposus-derived mesenchymal stem cells could be isolated from the Sprague-Dawley rat nucleus pulposus and exhibited clonal-like growth when they were cultured in vitro. These cells were confirmed to have the potential to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes in vitro.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of acute leukemia patients during pregnancy.Methods:The clinical data of 16 cases with acute leukemia during pregnancy from January 2009 to December 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis and treatment regimens, pregnancy outcome, the early fetus and survival status of patients were also analyzed.Results:All 16 leukemia cases were confirmedly diagnosed and classified by bone marrow puncture, including 13 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (5 cases of non-acute promyelocytic leukemia and 8 cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia) and 3 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At the time of confirmed diagnosis, 6 patients were in first trimester, 6 cases in second trimester and 4 cases in late trimester. As for pregnancy outcome, 1 patient had natural birthing, 5 patients underwent cesarean operation, 9 patients underwent artificial abortion and 1 patient had spontaneous abortion. Chemotherapy was performed in 15 patients during pregnancy, 11 patients received chemotherapy for treatment of primary disease after pregnancy, 3 patients died during the treatment. During the follow-up of 13 cases, 8 patients survived and 5 patients lost follow-up.Conclusions:Early diagnosis of acute leukemia during pregnancy is very important. Bone marrow puncture should be performed timely to make clear diagnosis when blood routine result is abnormal during antenatal care. Multidisciplinary consultation should be initiated in time, and the best treatment plan should be worked out to guard against serious complications during pregnancy.

Objective:To assess whether air-charged urodynamic(ACC)can replace water-filled urodynamic(WFC)and the value of ACC for the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)in these patients.Methods:In this prospective study, 27 male patients with BPH(aged 60-90 years)were randomly selected for WFC and ACC examinations during the same period to compare the values of urodynamic pressure parameters recorded for the two groups.Pressure values were compared using Bland-Altman plots and the paired sample t-test, and differences in abdominal pressure changes in the two groups were compared using the chi-square test. Results:Changes in WFC and ACC pressure values showed the same trends, but at the three points where data were recorded and compared, the mean abdominal pressure(Pabd), end of bladder filling pressure(Pves.fill)and maximum detrusor pressure(Pdet.void)were(25.3±8.5)cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa), (26.0±8.08.4)cmH 2O and(98.8±32.8)cmH 2O for WFC and(32.5, 5.5±5.3)cmH 2O, (32.6±5.0)cmH 2O and(95.3±36.3)cmH 2O for ACC, respectively, The pressure values of the two methods were significantly different( P<0.05). WFC pressure values were unstable, with 74.07%(20/27)showing a marked decrease during bladder filling, significantly different from those measured by ACC( P<0.001). Band-Altman plots illustrated high consistency between pressure values measured via WFC and ACC. Conclusions:The pressure measured by ACC does not represent that measured by WFC, suggesting a clinical need to establish standard reference data for ACC.The abdominal pressure instability measured by WFC may be one of the factors leading to different detrusor pressures from the two methods.The high consistency between pressure values from ACC and WFC indicates that the former can also be used to assess changes in bladder function in elderly BPH patients.

Hypothyroidism is a common adverse reaction in clinical multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and may be used as a predictor of efficacy of TKI drugs.Studies show that hypothyroidism is significantly associated with good prognosis in patients with renal cell carcinoma treated with multi-target TKI,which may be related to inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor pathway,potential off-target effects and inhibition of cell proliferation.Whereas in the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who received multi-target TKI therapy,hypothyroidism is an indicator of poor prognosis,which is related to the T3/TR pathway regulating liver cancer growth and invasion.The predictive function and mechanism of thyroid hormone levels in different tumor patients receiving multi-target TKI drugs are different,and further research is still needed.

Penile relaxation length, stretch length, transverse and longitudinal diameters of glans in 2 groups before and after the treatment were measured.The relevant indexes of 16 patients in the control group measured before and after 10 days and compared with those in the treatment group.Result:s (1)The penile relaxation length in the physical treatment group increased from (25.48±6.13) mm to (30.72±6.49) mm, the length of stretch increased from (34.90±7.71) mm to (41.08±8.43) mm, the transverse diameter of glans increased from (14.81±3.40) mm to (16.57±3.42) mm, and the longitudinal diameter increased from (13.94±3.15) mm to (15.82±3.52) mm, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (2)The penile relaxation length in the drug treatment group increased from (21.07±4.26) mm to (31.32±4.72) mm, the length of stretch increased from (31.94±7.96) mm to (45.39±7.24) mm, the transverse diameter of glans increased from (13.38±1.77) mm to (16.64±2.10) mm, and the longitudinal diameter increased from (13.09±1.77) mm to (16.62±1.86) mm, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (3)There was no significant difference in penile relaxation length, the length of stretch, transverse diameter and longitudinal diameters of glans before and after 10 days in the control group (all P>0.05). (4) Compared with the control group, the penile relaxation length, the length of stretch, transverse diameter and longitudinal diameters of glans in the physical treatment group increased significantly, and the differences of growth values between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (5) Compared with the control group, the penile relaxation length, the length of stretch, transverse diameter and longitudinal diameters of glans in the drug treatment group also increased significantly, and the difference of growth values between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). (6) The growth of penile relaxation length, the length of stretch and transverse and longitudinal diameters in the drug treatment group were higher than those in the physical treatment group, and the difference of growth values were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Both the negative pressure suction method and topical application of Testosterone cream are effective in the treatment of small and short penis after hypospadias surgery.However, Testosterone cream is difficult to obtain, and the treatment of negative pressure suction is simple, noninvasive, painless and free of adverse reactions.
