1.Hemodynamical characteristics of artificial heart valves
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(09):-
The hemodynamical features of artificial heart valve can influence the life span of the valve in the host, and is highly correlated with its biocompatibility. This paper introduced the methods and indexes to measure hemodynamics of artificial heart valve, and factors that influence the hemodynamics. In addition, the problems in this field were discussed to aid the selection of appropriate artificial heart valves for patients.

Objective To investigate whether nestin-positive cells can be isolated from human fetal pancreases and cultured in vitro for passages. Methods The islet-like cell clusters (ICCs) were isolated from pancreases of induced human fetuses at 16, 18, 20 gestational weeks and cultured subsequently. Immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to detect the expression of the nestin, pancreatic and duodenal homeobox gene-1 (PDX-1/IPF-1), islet endocrine hormone insulin and glucagon. Results Nestin-positive cells, which may further transform into sphere cell clusters that include PDX-1, insulin and glucagon expressing cells, as well as nestin-positive cells, were isolated from the ICCs in vitro and cultured with several passages. Conclusions The nestin-positive cells can be isolated from fetal pancreases, and may have the capability to proliferate and differentiate into islet endocrine cells.

Objective:To research on the immune recognition mechanism of synthetic pyrethroids and generic specific antibody.Methods:We studied on quantitative structure-activity relationship ( QSAR ) of synthetic pyrethroids and their analogs as well as antibody activity ( IC50:fifty percent inhibition concentration ) using stepwise multiple linear regression method.Based on calculating structure descriptors of synthetic pyrethroids and their analogs , two-demensional QSAR ( 2D-QSAR ) model was established.The main factors affecting antibody activity were screened using 2D-QSAR,and predictive ability of QSAR models were evaluated by the method of leave-one-out( LOO) cross-validation.Meanwhile, the structure parameters of synthetic pyrethroid fragments were calculated and then analyzed using partial least squares ( PLS) assay.And then hologram QSAR ( H-QSAR) model was constructed on molecular substructure and antibody activity.The fragments contribution to antibody activity were illustrated by encoding different colors.Results:Decision coefficent (R2) of 2D-QSAR model and HQSAR model were 0.920 and 0.917 individually,cross-validation coefficient ( Q2 ) of two QSAR models were 0.875 and 0.660 respectively ,which showed two models had good predictive abil-ity.The result from 2D-QSAR model was also obtained that smaller was hydrophobicity of pyrethroids , easier was recognized by antibody.In addition,the optimum HQSAR model was constructed after we tried many combinations of these parameters .The fragment size in optimum HQSAR model was between 4 to 10,a hologram length was 61,optimum principle component was 4,and the fragment type of B/C/Ch was selected.However ,the fingerprint encoded results of synthetic pyrethroids weren′t consistent completely with exper-imental IC50 values.Conclusion:Hydrophobicity of synthetic pyrethroids is the largest correlation factors in antibody recognization .

Objective:To investigate the prognostic significance of high sensitivity-C reactive protein (Hs-CRP) in patients with peripher-al T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Methods:A total of 234 newly diagnosed PTCL patients with a median age of 48 years were analyzed retro-spectively. Serum Hs-CRP levels and other factors, including tumor stage and international prognostic index (IPI), were determined. Af-ter a median follow-up of 23 months, the relationship between Hs-CRP and overall survival (OS) was observed. Results:Serum Hs-CRP level positively correlated with IPI score (r=0.132, P<0.001), tumor stage (r=0.183, P=0.005), B symptoms (r=0.225, P=0.001), and lactic dehydrogenase (r=0.169, P=0.009), but negatively correlated with plasma albumin levels (r=?0.343, P<0.001), hemoglobin concentra-tion (r=?0.239, P<0.001), and platelet count (r=0.131, P=0.045), and is uncorrelated with age (P>0.05), gender (P>0.05), fitness score (P>0.05), and leukocyte count (P>0.05). Patients with serum Hs-CRP levels≤10 mg/L had better OS than patients with serum Hs-CRP levels>10 mg/L. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models showed that platelet count, Hs-CRP, albumin levels, and IPI score were independent adverse prognostic factors. Conclusion:The baseline Hs-CRP level can serve as a major indicator of prognosis in PT-CL patients.

Objective:
To determine the value of hyperextension MRI evaluation in determining whether to perform decompression therapy after reduction of reducible atlantoaxial dislocation as well as assess the decompression effect.
Methods:
A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze 24 patients with atlantoaxial dislocation admitted to Honghui Hospital affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2015 to May 2017. There were 10 males and 14 females, aged 40-74 years, with an average age of 52 years. There were 14 patients with os odontoideum, four patients with odontoid fracture, and six patients with transverse atlantal ligament rupture. Hyperextension MRI was performed to assess spinal cord compression for all patients. Eight patients with anterior spinal cord compression (Group A) underwent posterior atlantoaxial arch decompression plus atlantoaxial internal fixation reduction and bone graft fusion; 16 patients without anterior compression of the spinal cord (Group B) underwent only atlantoaxial internal fixation reduction and bone graft fusion. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Spinal cord compression index and improvement rate of spinal cord decompression were evaluated by routine cervical spine MRI. Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score was used to evaluate the clinical effect.
Results:
All patients were followed up for 3-24 months, with an average of 9.3 months. There was no nerve or vertebral artery injury during the operation, and no screw loosening occurred after surgery. The spinal cord compression index (0.37±0.18) in Group A at the last follow-up was significantly lower than that before operation (0.73±0.22) (

Objective:
To analyze the prognostic value of CD7 expression in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and to further explore the correlation between CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation, and to clarify the prognostic value of CD7+ in AML patients with wild-type (WT) or mutant-type (MT) CEBPA.
Methods:
The clinical data of 298 newly diagnosed non-M3 AML patients between January 2010 and December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of CD7+ and CD7- patients were respectively compared in all patients, and in patients with WT and MT CEBPA. The relationship between CD7 expression and CEBPA mutation was determined by chi-square, and the effects of CEBPA mutation on survival and prognosis in CD7+ group by Kaplan-Meier method.
Results:
In CD7+ group, the frequencies of CEBPA mutation were 10.1% (single site) and 33.9% (double site) , significantly higher than those of the CD7- group (5.3% and 4.2%) (

ObjectiveTo investigate effect of conducting training of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) early screening skill on improving the ability to early identify ASD of medical staffs in primary care hospitals. MethodsIn September 2021, the training of ASD early screening skills was carried out for medical staffs from 20 primary care hospitals in Chengdu. After training, the training effect was evaluated. The numbers of referrals from primary care hospitals to superior hospitals, confirmed ASD as well as their average diagnostic age of children with ASD before and after training were used as evaluation indicators. ResultsAfter training, the number of children with suspected ASD referred by primary care hospitals was more than that before training [(16.65±11.60) vs. (3.40±2.23), t=5.431, P<0.01], the number of children diagnosed with ASD was more than that before training[(6.85±4.93) vs. (2.45±1.67), t=4.171, P<0.01], and the differences were statistically significant. As for the diagnosed age of ASD children, after training, the average age was lower than that before training [(34.95±11.67) vs. (42.2±14.64), t=-2.553, P=0.019]. ConclusionTraining of ASD early screening skills for medical staffs in primary care hospitals may help to improve their ability to early screening ASD children.
