Objective:To study the expression of Ngn3 in rats donor islets with different purity,and explore the stem cells in them.Methods:Thirty male adult SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups.Islets were isolated by digestion method of injecting collagenase into pancreatic duct.Group I was harvested by two digestions without purification;For group Ⅱ(n=10),islets sediments were purified by adding 25% ficoll-400 and for,Group Ⅲ(n=10),by adding (25% and 11%)ficoll-400 in order.Finally we applied immunohistochemisiry and RT-PCR to the location and semi-quantitative analysis to test the expression of Ngn3 in the donor islets with different purity.Results:Islets purity of group I was 43.6%?6.29%,Group II 65.3%?4.40%,and group Ⅲ77.6%?6.36%.The difference of Islet purity was significant in three groups (P

Objective To investigate the surgical treatment of Maisonneuve injury associated with posterior malleolus fracture under direct visualization via the posterolateral approach.Methods Between January 2008 and June 2015,27 patients with Maisonneuve injury associated with posterior malleolus fracture were treated at our department.They were 18 men and 9 women,aged from 20 to 60 years (average,40.1 years).All fractures and syndesmoses received open reduction under direct visualization and internal fixation via the posterolateral approach.The posterior malleolus fractures were fixed with screws or plate and the syndesmoses fixed using cortical bone screws.Functional results were evaluated using the Baird-Jackson ankle scoring system.Results The patients were followed up for 8 to 30 months (average,18 months).No wound infection,necrosis,dehiscence,lose of reduction or implant failure was found during follow-up visits.All cases got bony union at the last visit.The excellent and good rate was 92.6％.Conclusion Since the posterolateral approach allows good access to the Maisonneuve injury and posterior malleolus fracture under direct visualization,it facilitates accurate direct fracture reduction,stable fixation and early exercise.

The effectiveness of regional health information platform was judged by overall assessment of its data contents, data quality, data safety and beneficial results in order to promote the mutual link and mutual communi-cation between the platforms and data centers at the provincial, municipal and county levels, speed up the data sharing and professional work cooperation, and meet the different information needs of different users.

Objective In this study, we explored the mechanism of anti-bone resorption of RGD-insulin using osteoclast-like cells (OLCs) from giant cell tumor of bone as an in vitro model. Methods The function of bone resorption was observed and the staining for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAPase) was identified. The carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ (CAⅡ) gene expression, apoptosis and the adhesion of OLC that treated by RGD-insulin and echistatin were determined by in situ hybridization, TUNEL staining and adhesion test, respectively. Results OLCs were TRAP positive and had bone resorptive function. After OLCs were treated with 10 -5, 10 -6, 10 -7mol/L RGD-insulin and echistatin respectively, the numbers of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells were (179?3), (238?11), (351?10) per well that treated with echistatin and (229?20), (222?21), (265?17) per well that treat with RGD-insulin.The expression of CAⅡ mRNA decreased, the number of OLCs apoptosis increased in a dose-dependent manner (P

BACKGROUND: Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) enable laypeople to provide early defibrillations to patients undergoing cardiac arrest, but scant information is available on the general public’s ability to use AEDs. This study assessed the ability of laypeople to operate AEDs, the effect of a 15-minute training, and whether skills differed by age. METHODS: From May 1 to December 31, 2018, a prospective simulation study was conducted with 94 laypeople aged 18-65 years (32 aged 18-24 years, 34 aged 25-54 years, and 28 aged 55-65 years) with no prior AED training. The participants’ AED skills were assessed individually pre-training, post-training, and at a three-month follow-up using a simulated cardiac arrest scenario. The critical actions and time intervals were evaluated during the AED operating process. RESULTS: Only 14 (14.9%) participants (eight aged 18-24 years, four aged 25-54 years, and two aged 55-65 years) successfully delivered defibrillations before training. AED operation errors were more likely to occur among the participants aged 55-65 years than among other age groups. After training, the proportion of successful defibrillations increased significantly (18-24 years old: 25.0% vs. 71.9%, P<0.01; 25-54 years old: 11.8% vs. 70.6%, P<0.01; 55-65 years old: 7.1% vs. 67.9%, P<0.01). After three months, 26.1% of the participants aged 55-65 years successfully delivered defibrillations, which was significantly lower than that of participants aged 18-24 years (54.8%) and 25-54 years (64.3%) (P=0.02). There were no differences in time measures among three age groups in each test. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of untrained laypeople cannot effectively operate AEDs. More frequent training and refresher courses are crucial to improve AED skills.
