Objective To observe the clinical effect and safety of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell(UCB-MSC) transplantation in the treatment of diabetic foot. Methods UCB-MSC suspension (cell concentration (3 -7) × 107/L,0.3 -0.5 ml per point) was injected into multiple spots on affected lower limb with a 3 cm × 3 cm istance among each point. Demixing injection could be performed in regions with multilayer muscles. Clinical symptoms and related index were routinely observed from the first day to three months after operation. Results After three months of UCB-MSC transplantation, pain of patients was relieved, skin temperature increased, intermittent claudication ameliorated, ulcer healed, ankle-brachial index and transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen increased. The lower extremity lesions showed an abundant collateral vessel formation after the treatment in 2 patients by angiography. Both patients had no severe complications and adverse reactions, none underwent amputation. Conclusions Umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell transplantation is a safe and effective treatment of diabetic lower limb ischemic disease, which can exempt the patient from amputation and improve their quality of life.

In recent years,stem cell transplantation for the treatment of ischemic stroke has become a hot topic.However,since embryonic stem cells (ESCs) transplantation is limited by the ethics and law,stem cell research was once in trouble.Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a class of cells by introducing the specific transcription factors into somatic cells,which have the similar characteristics with ESCs,and also avoid the ethical issues and immunological rejection,making them become the most ideal replacer of ESCs.Although the current research on iPSCs has made some progress,their induction efficiency and safety issues remain to be resolved.This article reviews the status quo,mechanisms,and problems faced in clinical practice for iPSCs transplantation in the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Objective To know the rural doctors' knowledge,belief and practice on iodine deficiency disorders(IDD),as well as their capability on health education communication in Ye County,Henan Province.Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 50 rural doctors in Ye County,Henan Province.Topics covered include:sales of salt purchases,daily supervision and monitoring activities of salt,the health effects of salt,the situation of rural doctors trained,the situation of rural doctors participated in health education and related recommendations.Results ①Twenty-nine of the rural doctors knew exactly the advantage of salt iodization.②Thirty-nine of the rural doctors had taken part in the half quantitative detection of salt once or twice a year and 15 of them knew the supervision activities of salt industry department.③Forty-nine of the rural doctors believed salt iodization was beneficial to health and 48 of them were willing to participate in health education on IDD.④The major ways of their acquiring health knowledge were promotional materials [54.0％ (27/50)],TV [50.0％ (25/50)],and lecture/training [24.0％ (12/50)].⑤Thirty-seven of the rural doctors had taken part in health education on IDD.They were used to use booklets [68.0％ (34/50)],promotional slogan [36.0％ (18/50)],broadcast [24.0％ (12/50)],and doctor consultation [24.0％ (12/50)].⑥Twenty-eight of the rural doctors thought the current health education on IDD was better.They hoped to reduce the price of salt,strengthen supervision,receive more training and health education on IDD.Conclusions The rural doctors remain relatively lack of knowledge on IDD.Rural doctors have the initiative and responsibility to conduct health education on IDD,but their pattern is still a one-way propagation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between Dicer expression and clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis by detecting the expression of Dicer in hilar cholangiocarcinoma tissues and cells.MethodsThe expression of Dicer in tissues was detected using immunohistochemistry.Western blotting and RT-PCR were used to investigate Dicer expression in QBC939 and HIBEpic cells.The relationship between Dicer expression and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed.A Kaplan-Maier analysis was performed to analyze the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) after radical surgical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.ResultsWhen compared to control,Dicer was significantly down-regulated in hilar cholangiocarcinoma tissues (P＜0.05) and in QBC939 (P＜0.05).The expression of Dicer was higher in well differentiated adenocarcinoma than poorly and moderately differentiated tumours. Univariate analysis showed low expression of Dicer protein was significantly correlated with short disease-free survival and overall survival of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma after radical surgical resection (P＜0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed that the expression of Dicer was the most important factor for predicting prognosis after radical surgical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (P＜0.05).ConclusionsDicer could be used as a prognostic marker for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of gene interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) rs1004819, rs1495965, rs1884444, rs2201841,rs6677188, rs7517847, rs7530511, rs10489629, rs10889677 and rs11209026 with susceptibility of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Han population of Jiangsu province in China. Methods The gene polymorphism in 134 healthy volunteers, 135 cases of ulcerative colitis(UC) and 43 cases of Crohn's disease(CD) were detected with SNaPshot. Experimental data were analyzed with SPSS 17.0 software. Results In UC, genotype frequency of CC and CT on rs7530511 was 99.26％ (134/135)and 0.74％(1/135), allele frequency of C and T was 99.63％(269/270)and 0. 37％(1/270). While in normal controls, which were 94.03％(126/134), 5.97％(8/134), 97.01 ％(260/268)and 2.99％(8/268)respectively. Compared genotype frequency of these two group, P value was 0. 040 (OR＝0.118、95％CI:0.014～0.953). Compared allele frequency of these two group, P value was 0. 043 (OR＝0.121、95％CI:0.015～0.973). In wild type and mutation type UC patients, the age distribution was different, more young patients in mutation type while more middle-aged patients in wild type, P value was 0.032 and 0.001 respectively. Most UC patients of rs6677188 AT type were in remission under endoscope (P＝0.032). Conclusion The mutation of IL-23R rs7530511 may be a protective factor of UC. The polymorphism of rs6677188 was associated with the age of patients and the remission under endoscope.

Objective To observe the regulation of Fengxiaofang on the expression of gene Gob-5 in ovalbumin-challenged asthmatic mice. Methods The murine model of allergic asthma established by ovaibumin was used. The model mice were treated experimentally with Fengxiaofang and Dexamethasone as a positive control. The quantitive expression of gene Gob-5 in lung of mice was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results The expression of gene Gob-5 in lung of mice was down-regulated by Fengxiaofang.

Objective To investigate clinical features and risk factors for recurrent syncope in children with orthostatic intolerance.Methods Patients with orthostatic intolerance and syncope admitted in the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2014 to June 2015 were retrospectively analyzed by using t test,Chi -square test,and Fisher′s exact probability method.According to frequency of syncope,all cases were divided into 2 groups,the occasio-nal syncope group and the recurrent syncope group.All risk factors including age,gender,body mass index(BMI),in-ducement,the history of motion sickness,family history,syncope -related injuries,performance of head -up tilt table test,and outcomes of head -up tilt table test were studied statistically and compared within 2 different groups.Results A total of 83 cases were enrolled in this study.Among these children,33 cases(39.76%)were assigned as occasio-nal syncope group,in which 17 cases were male and 16 cases were female and the age ranged from 6 to 18 years with the average age of (9.70 ±2.87)years;50 cases(60.24%)were assigned as recurrent syncope group,in which 27 ca-ses were male and 23 cases were female and the age ranged from 6 to 18 years with the average age of (11.24 ±2.83) years.Of all the investigated risk factors,the BMI and the history of motion sickness were significantly different between 2 groups[(18.84 ±3.49)kg/m2 vs (18.16 ±3.68)kg/m2 ,t =4.82,P =0.001;39.39%(13 /33 cases)vs 70.00%(35 /50 cases),χ2 =7.64,P =0.006].No significant difference was found in age distribution(6 -9 years,10 -14 years,15 -18 years)between 2 groups(P =0.428).There were no significant differences in gender (male /female), family history,or syncope -related injuries between 2 groups[17 /16 cases vs 27 /23 cases;3.03%(1 /33 cases)vs 10.00%(5 /50 cases);15.15%(5 /33 cases)vs 20.00%(10 /50 cases),all P >0.05].And no significant difference was found in inducement (prolonged standing,body posture change,emotional stress/emotional stimuli,muggy environ-ment,movement)between 2 groups [78.79% (23 /33 cases)vs 72.00% (36 /50 cases);9.09% (3 /33 cases)vs 14.00%(7 /50 cases);3.03%(1 /33 cases)vs 6.00%(3 /50 cases);12.12% (4 /33 cases)vs 10.00% (5 /50 cases);3.03%(1 /33 cases)and 12.00%(6 /50 cases),all P >0.05].And performances of head -up tilt table test (blurred vision/blacked out,nausea/vomiting,sweating,dizzy/headache,palpation,anhelation /chest tightness,hot, weak)between 2 groups showed no significant differences[18.18%(6 /33 cases)vs 12.00%(6 /50 cases);36.36%(12 /33 cases)vs 50.00%(25 /50 cases);24.24%(8 /33 cases)vs 26.00%(13 /50 cases);51.52%(17 /33 cases) vs 58.00%(29 /50 cases);6.06%(2 /33 cases)vs 16.00%(8 /50 cases);27.27%(9 /33 cases)vs 22.00%(11 /33 cases);33.33%(11 /33 cases)vs 32.00%(16 /50 cases);12.12%(4 /33 cases)vs 16.00%(8 /50 cases),all P >0.05].Also there were no significant differences in outcomes of head -up tilt table test between 2 groups(P =0.589). Conclusions The risk factors for recurrent syncope in children with orthostatic intolerance were low BMI and the his-tory of motion sickness for such children,and more positive and effective clinical intervention can improve the living quality of children with orthostatic intolerance to some extent.

Using cyproheptadine ( CYP) as template molecule, methacrylic acid ( MAA) as monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) with high selectivity to cyproheptadine (CYP) were prepared by the optimization of porogen, monomer, and the mole ratio of monomer to template. The specific surface area of the prepared polymers was 24. 9 m2 / g. The recovery of CYP was above 94. 0% when the following procedure was applied to the cartridge of MIP as adsorptive material: conditioning with methanol and water, loading with water, washing with water and methanol, and eluting with methanol-ammonia (95: 5, V/ V). As a control, the recovery of CYP on non-imprinted polymers cartridge (NISPE) was only 38. 9% . The binding capacity of the molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) towards CYP found to be about 8. 8 mg of CYP/ g polymers and the imprinting factor (IF) was about 2. 32. Under optimal conditions, a mixed standard solution of CYP, amitriptyline, sulfadiazine and trimethoprim (10 mg / L each) was uploaded on the MISPE and NISPE for selectivity experiment. The gradient elution was used by using 0. 05% sodium pentanesulfonate solution (A)-acetintrile (B) as a mobile phase. The recoveries on the MISPE for sulfadiazine and trimethoprim (different structure with CYP) were less than 10% , however, the recovery for the similar structural amitriptyline was more than 70% , and the recovery more than 90% for CYP. All the recoveries on the NISPE for four analytes were less than 30% . This new MISPE cartridge was applied to extract and enrich CYP in livestock drinking water sample, and the recoveries of CYP ranged from 80. 5% -97. 7% , and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0. 01 mg / L.
