BACKGROUND: There still was not any report about inducing stem cells into matured cells to form products in vitro.OBJECTIVE: To induce CD34+ cells of umbilical cord blood to differentiate into mature megakaryocytes, and to investigate the mechanism of production of platelets.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: This cytology in vitro study was conducted at the Central Laboratory of Xiangya Hospital and Xiangya Third Hospital from 2004 to 2006. MATERIALS: Umbilical cord was collected from healthy full-term pregnant puerperants at the Xiangya Hospital.METHODS: The CD34+ cells were isolated from umbilical cord blood by magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) and then cultured in 24-well culture plate at 5x107/L in StemPro-34 serum-free medium, supplemented with L-glutamine, saturated human transferrin, CaCl2, insulin, deionized bovine serum albumin and recombinant human thrombopoietin at 37℃, under 0.05 volume fraction CO2 saturated humidity to be differentiated into megakaryocytes for 14-21 days. Cell medium was absorbed, and centrifuged to obtain supernatant. Samples were centrifuged again, and then supernatant was removed. The remaining was platelet-like particles in cell culture plate. Platelet was isolated from normal platelet-rich plasma.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The following parameters were measured: morphological changes in cultured cells and platelet-like particles in supematant; results of immunohistochemistry; observation results under a microscope; platelet aggregation; CD41 expression.RESULTS: At day 10, silk-like substances were found in megakaryocyte culture medium, with the presence of platelet-sized particles. The production of platelet-sized particles reached a peal at day 16. Cultured cells were strongly positively for platelet-specific antigen GP Ⅱb Ⅲa. Under the optical microscope, mature megakaryocytes were detected, with the presence of some immature megakaryocytes, and platelet-sized particles were found surrounding megakaryocytes. Under the electron microscope, a majority of mature megakaryocytes and a few apoptotic megakaryocytes were detected, and platelet-sized particles in the supernatant had the same size and structure with the platelet in the platelet-rich plasma. Some platelet surfaces were smooth or irregular. Platelet-sized particles in the supematant aggregated in response to thrombin as platelets in normal platelet-rich plasma. Flow cytometry demonstrated that the cultured platelets had the same high expression rate of CD41 as the platelets from platelet rich plasma.CONCLUSION: Umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells can be induced to differentiate into pudfied and mature megakaryocytes and platelets in vitro.

Objective To investigate whether HSP90α could be a sensitive and specific serum biomarker for the diagnosis and progression of lung cancer. Methods In the present study, different secretomic analy-ses on the two human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines CL1-0 and CL1-5 with low and high metastatic poten-tial, respectively, were performed using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and ma-trix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The candidate biomarker was con-firmed by Western blotting, and was further analyzed in 224 serum samples including 141 lung cancer, 37 benign pulmonary diseases, as well as 46 healthy individuals using ELISA assay. Results HSP90α was sig-nificantly upregulated in the CM of CL1-5 cells. It was found that the levels of HSP90α were specifically ele-vated in the sera of non-small cell lung cancer compared with other groups. At the cut-off point 0.535 on the receiver operating oharacteristie curve, HSP90α could comparatively discriminate lung cancer from benign lung disease and healthy control groups with sensitivity of 0. 817, specificity 0. 919 and total accuracy 80. 14%. Conclusion HSP90α may be a potential useful serum biomarker for discriminating lung cancer from benign lung diseases and healthy individuals and staging of non-small cell lung cancer.

ObjectiveTo compare the predictive value of anatomic scoring system, physiological scoring system, and the combination of two systems in death prediction of patients with severe trauma in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods A retrospective analysis of patients with severe trauma admitted to department of critical care medicine of Daping Hospital, the Third Military Medical University, and Zunyi Medical University from January 2011 to December 2014 was conducted. The patients meeting the following criteria were enrolled: over 16 years old, admitted to hospital shorter than 24 hours after trauma, length of ICU stay≥48 hours, and injury severity score (ISS)≥16. Patients were divided into two groups: survivors and non-survivors. The data of anatomic scoring system, including ISS and new injury severity score (NISS), and physiological scoring system, including acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score were collected. The predictive power for death of the scoring system alone or combination in patients with severe trauma was evaluated.Results A total of 614 patients with severe trauma were enrolled, and there were 153 deaths with a mortality rate of 24.9%. ISS, NISS, APACHEⅡ, ISS+ APACHEⅡ, NISS+ APACHEⅡ of non-survivors were significantly higher than those of survivors (ISS: 29.15±7.75 vs. 24.31±6.50, NISS: 41.96±12.01 vs. 29.64±8.19, APACHEⅡ: 23.71±6.58 vs. 17.02±5.49, ISS+ APACHEⅡ: 52.86±10.00 vs. 41.33±8.70, NISS+ APACHEⅡ: 65.67±13.46 vs. 46.66±10.43, allP< 0.01). The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of ISS, NISS, APACHEⅡ, ISS+ APACHEⅡ, NISS+ APACHEⅡ was 0.687, 0.792, 0.782, 0.809, and 0.860, respectively. Both of ISS+ APACHEⅡ and NISS+ APACHEⅡ had higher AUC than that of ISS, NISS or APACHEⅡ alone; and the AUC of NISS+ APACHEⅡ was significantly larger than that of ISS+ APACHEⅡ(allP< 0.05). NISS+ APACHEⅡ showed the largest AUC in death prediction of severe trauma patients. The cut-off value, sensitivity, specificity, positive predict value (+PV), negative predict value (-PV), positive likelihood ratio (+LR), negative likelihood ratio (-LR), and Youden index of NISS+ APACHEⅡ, which had the greatest AUC, were 56, 75.2%, 82.0%, 58.1%, 90.9%, 4.17, 0.30, and 0.572, respectively.Conclusion The combination of anatomic scoring system and physiological scoring system is better than single scoring system for death prediction in patients with severe trauma in ICU, and it may be considered to be a new method for early identification of death risk in patients with severe trauma.
