In vitro proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells(HSCs) is performed on the basis ofthe simulation of in vitro blood system by adding growth factors and promoting components. Several protocols for expansion of HSCs in vitro are currently in development. In recent years, with the understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms regulating HSCs maintenance and expansion, tremendous progress has been made in this field. In this paper, research progress in the study of the factors determining the in vitro HSCs proliferation is reviewed.

Objective:To explore the clinical therapeutic effect of comprehensive rehabilitative treatment on dyspha-gia after acute cerebral stroke .Methods :A total of 78 patients with dysphagia after acute cerebral stroke ,who visi-ted to our hospital from Jun 2011 to Jun 2012 ,were selected ,randomly and equally divided into Vitalstim electrical stimulus plus swallowing training group (rehabilitation treatment group ) and traditional swallowing training group (routine training group) .Patients received Kubota's water drinking test before and after treatment .Therapeutic effects were observed ,compared and statistically analyzed .Results:Total effective rate of rehabilitation treatment group was significantly higher than that of routine training group (92.3% vs .74.3% ,χ2 = 4.191 , P= 0.041 );mean declining amplitude of swallowing function score in rehabilitation group was significantly higher than that of routine training group [ (2.0 ± 0.5) scores vs .(1.1 ± 0.6) scores , t=5.284 , P=0.032] .Conclusion:Comprehen-sive rehabilitation training can significantly improve dysphagia caused by cerebral stroke .

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of acupuncture plus oral taking Chinese medicine compared with that of oral taking Chinese medicine only for the treatment of insomnia.Methods Totally 64 patients were randomized into treatment group(33 cases)and control group(31 cases).The treatment group was treated by acupuncture with filiform needle[Baihui(GV 20),Sishen- cong(EX-HN1),Shenting(GV 24),Neiguan(PC 6),Shenmai(BL 62)and Zhaohai(KI 6)being the main points] plus oral taking Chinese medicine.The control group was treated by oral taking Chinese medicine only.All 64 cases were examined by SPIEGEL scale. Results The treatment group was better than the control group in general therapeutic effect and improvement of quality of sleep(P

Objective　To study whether covering ice on head can abate headache produced by using nitroglycerin.Method　64 cases were collected from the patients who used nitroglycerin and were randomly divided into one contrasting group (group A) and one experimental group (group B).For the patients of group A,the state of headache produced by using nitroglycerin should be observed.For the patients of group B,covering ice on their head was adopted when they used nitroglycerin,and the state of headache should also be observed.Results　There were obvious difference between the two groups (P<0.001).Conclusion　Covering ice on head is a good method which can abate headache produced by using nitroglycerin.

Objective To explore the effect of oxytocin on uterine fibroids treated by ultrasound ablation. Methods Eighty-two single points in 29 uterine fibroids from 26 patients were sonicated with magnetic resonance imaging guided by high intensity focused ultrasound before and after using oxytocin. The required total energy, sonication time required to reach 60 ℃ and the acoustic energy for increasing 1 ℃ of temperature at the single point before and after using oxytocin were compared. Results Before intravenous infusion of oxytocin, the average total sonication energy required to reach 60 ℃ was (5320 ±910) J and it took (21 ±20) seconds for sonicating a single point, the energy required for increasing 1 ℃ was (255 ± 302) J. In contrast, after intravenous infusion of oxytocin, the average total sonication energy required to reach 60 ℃ was (2890 ±325) J, and it took (12 ±7) seconds for sonicating a single point, the energy required for increasing 1 ℃ was ( 126 ± 94 ) J. Those three index all reached statistical difference ( P = 0.002, P = 0.001, P= 0.002, respectively). Conclusion It seemed that Oxytocin could significantly decrease the energy required for ablating uterine fibroids, shorten treatment time and improve the treatment efficiency.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the method of the preparation and test for methyl salicylate glycoside (MSG) tablets. METHODS: MSG tablets were prepared with MSG as main drug and microcrystalline cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl starch as exipients. Its detection method was studied. RESULTS: After experimental study, the high performance liquid chromatography method for related substances detection and content determination of MSG tablets were established. CONCLUSION: The prescription is reasonable and the preparation technology is reliable. The HPLC method has high accuracy and sensitivity and can be used for MSG tablets test.
