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： This study was designed to investigate the relationship between p16 protein expression and gastric carcinogenesis,depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, and evaluate the role of deletion and mutation of p16 gene in exon 2 in gastric carcinoma. Methods： p16 protein expression in gastric carcinoma and precancerous lesion was examined by streptavidin-peroxidase conjugated(S-P) method; The deletion and mutation of p16 gene were examined respectively by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis(PCR-SSCP) in gastric carcinoma. Results： ① The positive rates of p16 protein expression were 96.25％ (77/80) in normal gastric mucosa, 92.00％ (45/50) in dysplastic gastric mucosa, and 47.54％ (58/122) in gastric carcinoma. The positive rate of p16 protein expression in gastric carcinoma was significantly lower than that in normal gastric mucosa and in dysplastic gastric mucosa (P<0.05). ② The positive rate of p16 protein expression in mucoid carcinoma (10.00％ ,1/10) was significantly lower than that of poorly differentiated carcinoma (51.22％ ,21/41), undifferentiated carcinoma (57.69％ ,15/26), and signet ring cell carcinoma (62.50％ ,10/16) (P< 0.05). ③ The positive rates of p16 protein in 30 cases paired primary and lymph node metastatic gastric carcinoma were 46.67 ％ (14/30) in primary gastric carcinoma,16.67％ (5/30) in lymph node metastatic gastric carcinoma. The positive rate of lymph node metastatic carcinoma was significantly lower than that of primary carcinoma(P<0.05). ④ Evaluation of mutation and deletion of p16 gene： There was no mutation of p16 gene in exon 2, but there were 5 cases displayed deletion of p16 gene in exon 2 in the 25 primary gastric carcinoma. Conclusions： ① The expression loss of p16 protein is related to carcinogenesis, histopathological subtypes,and lymph metastasis of gastric carcinoma. ② The mutation of p16 gene in exon 2 may not be involved in gastric carcinogenesis. But the deletion of p16 gene in exon 2 might be involved in gastric carcinogenesis.

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.

CDKs proteins are a kind of cell cycle protein-dependent kinases, which serve as important roles in controlling cell division and transcriptional stages. Among them, CDK9, as a key regulator responsible for the transcriptional elongation of cells, drives the development of various malignant cells and is considered as an important target in the field of anti-tumor drug development. However, the CDK family proteins feature high conservativeness and similarity in structure, leading to the poor selectivity and severe side effects for traditional small-molecular CDK9 inhibitors, which has limited their clinical applications. In view of this, there is an urgent need to investigate CDK9 targets through a novel strategy. The PROTAC is an emerging drug discovery strategy that the degrader could specifically recognize the target protein through indirect linkage with ubiquitin ligases and ultimately eliminate the target protein through the ubiquitination degradation system. This paper provides a brief overview of the structure and function of CDK9 protein, its relationship with the poor prognosis of clinical diseases, as well as the currently reported small molecular inhibitors. The latest research progress on the targeted degradation of CDK9 protein based on PROTAC technology is highlighted. Finally, the development prospects of this target protein in this novel technology field are summarized and prospected, aiming to provide a reference for the development of antitumor drugs in this direction.

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 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.
