BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that after indirect co-culture of neonate rat myocardial cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into myocardial cells successfully. OBJECTIVE: To induce human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) to differentiate into endothelial cells using human umbilical vein endothelial cells by indirect co-culture. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: In vitro study of cell engineering was done at the Medical Research Center of Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital between January and July 2007. MATERIALS: Small quantities of bone marrow were obtained from 11 children with congenital heart disease but without hematologic diseases through manubrium of sternum puncture in the congenital heart defect corrective surgery after the permission of family member. Umbilical cord of full-term normal delivery healthy newborn was provided by the Department of Obstetrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Fresh cattle jugular vein was provided by Guangdong Dali Meat Cattle Butchery. METHODS: The hBMSCs were isolated and purified using density gradient centrifugation method and were cultured in vitro. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were obtained from newborn umbilical cord by enzyme digestion. Cell culture insert with semipermeable membrane combined with 6-well plate was used to do indirect co-culture induction. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were expanded in the cell culture insert, passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were expanded in the 6-well plate outside the culture insert at the density of 1?105 cells/well, the initial ratio of the two kinds of cells was 1:5, then low-glucose DMEM culture solution containing 10% fetal bovine serum was added, cells were cultured for 14 days. Co-culture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was used as control. Introduced endothelioid cells were cultured and then seeded on the cell-free cattle jugular vein intravascular stent. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphology changes of induced cells; introduced endothelioid cell surface antigen detected through immunocytochemical staining; the growth and adhesion condition of endothelioid cells on the intravascular stent observed under scanning electronic microsope. RESULTS: The morphologies of introduced endothelial cells were uniform, introduced endothelial cells presented a cobblestone-like appearance, they amplified fast and expressed endothelial cell-specific surface marker CD31 and vWF and the positive rate was over 99%. They also could form a continuous unicellular layer on the cell-free cattle jugular vein intravascular stent. CONCLUSION: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells can induce hBMSCs to differentiate into endothelial cells successfully and to adhere and grew on the cell-free cattle jugular vein intravascular stent through indirect co-culture method.

Objective To explore a rapid method for classification of microorganisms.Methods The electrophorese fingerprinting, direct sequence of 16S rDNA and 16S-23S rDNA ISR after PCR, multiplex PCR for 16S rDNA and antibiotic resistance genes, were utilized to explore fast approaches of extracting total DNA from different clinical specimens.Results The specific 16S-23S rDNA ISR fingerprinting fragments were shown on the genus or species level in bacteria and fungi.So fingerprinting can be used to identify pathogenic microorganisms, to differentiate the evolution relations or to set the phylogenetic tree by comparing their DNA banding patterns with those of standard strains (NCCLS). Multiplex PCR was able to examine the special genes of genus or species, mecA gene, TEM, SHV and CTX gene in staphylococcus and ESBLs(E.coli or K.pneumoniae) at the same time.Conclusion The part of 16S rDNA sequencing and 16S-23S rDNA ISR genotypes by gel electrophoreses were useful for bacterial species identification in addition, it was clearly more rapid and accurate than culture technique, and the large numbers of strains can easily be examined.Multiplex PCR could provide a good method for identification of microorganisms and analysis of antibiotic resistance at the same time.

Objective To explore short term curative effects and adverse reactions of two different kinds of intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (IPHC) drugs in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer after cytoreductive surgery.Methods 76 patients with advanced ovarian cancer in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2013 to November 2015 were divided into two groups:single-drugs group of 36 patients (IPHC with 5-fluorouracil after cytoreductive surgery combined with intravenous chemotherapy),combined treatment group of 40 patients(IPHC with 5-fluorouracil and carboplatin after cytoreductive surgery combined with intravenous chemotherapy).Short term curative effects,postoperative clinical indicators and adverse reactions of chemotherapy in two groups were compared and analyzed.Results The CA125 effective rates in single-drugs and combined treatment group were 86.11％ and 95％,and the difference showed statistically significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).The ascites remission rates in single-drugs and combined treatment group were 97.22％ and 97.5％,and the difference between two groups showed no statistically significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).Adverse drug reactions showed statistical difference in distribution of the bone marrow,liver damage and gastrointestinal toxicity.No statistical difference were found between the two groups in terms of distribution of renal damage and cardiovascular system damage.Conclusion IPHC after cytoreductive surgery in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer is an effective means as adjuvant chemotherapy.The short-term curative effect of combined treatment group is obvious and adverse reactions can be tolerated.IPHC can be applied according to the patient's specific clinical situation.

In this paper, we propose an image-based key frame gating method to reduce motion artifacts in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) longitudinal cuts. The artifacts are mainly caused by the periodic relative displacement between blood vessels and the IVUS catheter due to cardiac motion. The method is achieved in four steps as following. Firstly, we convert IVUS image sequences to polar coordinates to cut down the amount of calculation. Secondly, we extracted a one-dimensional signal cluster reflecting cardiac motion by spectral analysis and filtering techniques. Thirdly, we designed a Butterworth band-pass filter for filtering the one-dimensional signal clusters. Fourthly, we retrieved the extremes of the filtered signal clusters to seek key frames to compose key-frames gated sequences. Experimental results showed that our algorithm was fast and the average frame processing time was 17ms. Observing the longitudinal viewpictures, we found that comparing to the original ones, the gated sequences had similar trend, less saw tooth shape, and good continuity. We selected 12 groups of clinical IVUS sequences [images (876 +/- 65 frames), coronary segments length (14.61 +/- 1.08 mm)] to calculate vessel volume, lumen volume, mean plaque burden of the original and gated sequences. Statistical results showed that, on one hand, both vessel volume and lumen volume measured of the gated sequences were significantly smaller than those of the original ones, and there was no significant difference on mean plaque burden between original and gated sequences, which met the need of the clinical diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, variances of vessel area and lumen area of the gated sequences were significantly smaller than those of the original sequences, indicating that the gated sequences would be more stable than the original ones.

Objective: To examine the application of arm circumference to evaluating the nutritional risk among cancer patients, so as to provide insights into nutritional risk screening among cancer patients. Methods: Totally 332 cancer patients hospitalized in the Department of Oncology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from September 2020 to March 2021 were selected as the study subjects. Subjects'demographic data and disease history were collected, and the height, body weight, arm circumference and serum nutritional indicators were measured. The indicators related to nutritional risk were identified by logistic regression models. The value of arm circumference in assessment of nutritional risk was examined among cancer patients using the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve analysis, and the Nutritional Risk Screening ( NRS 2002 ) scores were used as the gold standard. Results: The subjects included 188 males ( 56.63% ) and 144 females ( 43.37% ), and had a mean age of ( 51.62±12.31 ) years. The detection rate of nutritional risk was 36.75% among the subjects according to NRS 2002, with 29.78% in males and 45.83% in females. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified arm circumference as an independent factor affecting the nutritional risk among cancer patients ( P<0.05 ). The area under the ROC curve, cut-off, sensitivity and specificity of arm circumference in predicting nutritional risk were 0.857 ( 95%CI: 0.795-0.918, P<0.001 ), 24.4 cm, 83.3% and 78.6% among male cancer patients, and 0.727 ( 95%CI: 0.643-0.810, P<0.001 ), 23.9 cm, 78.2% and 57.6% among female cancer patients, respectively. Conclusions Arm circumference is feasible for screening nutritional risk among cancer patients. The cut-off value of nutritional risk was determined by arm circumference less than 24.4 cm in men and less than 23.9 cm in women with good accuracy.
