BACKGROUND: D-dimer is the specific marker of cross-link fibers degraded by fibrinolysin. During cerebral hemorrhage, D-dimer is significantly increased; its decrease may reflect the absorption process of hematoma and be closely related with the substantial injuries of brain. Endothelin is remarkably increased during cerebral hemorrhage, which may result in ischemic necrosis of neural histiocytes. The endothelin volume in cerebral hemorrhagic patients can reflect the severity of illness and the function prognosis.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of xingnaojing he shengmai injection (compound injection) on D-dimer and endothelin in patients at acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial.SETTING: Emergent Internal Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University and Department of Pathology of Jinan Military General Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 44 patients of inspected patients at acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage were collected in Emergent Internal Department of affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University from September 1999 to May 2001, which were randomized into two groups, named as xingnaojing he shengmai injection(compound injection) group(23 patients) and xingnaojing group(21 patients).METHODS: ELISA method was applied to determine the level of D-dimer and endothelin of peripheral blood before and after treatment. SPSS 8.0 statistical software was applied to analyze the data.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effects of xingnaojing he shengmai injection(compound injection) on level of D-dimer and endothelin in patients at acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage, compare with xingnaojing group.RESULTS: Xingnaojing he shengmai injection(compound injection) significantly reduced the level of both D-dimer[ (0. 67 ± 0. 21), (0.34 ± 0.18) mg/L,P ＜ 0.01 ] and endothelin[ (94.52 ±30. 23), (51.30 ± 21.62) ng/L, P＜ 0.01 ] before and after treatment respectively. The improvement of which was obviously superior to those in xingnaojing group[ (0. 33 ±0. 11),(0.20±0.08)mg/L, P ＜0.01; (43.22±12.06), (26.52±8.13)ng/L respectively, concerning to the improvements in two groups, P ＜ 0. 01 ].CONCLUSION: To improve the fibrinolytic state in patients with cerebral hemorrhage may protect the substantial injuries of brain and prevent the secondary damage after cerebral hemorrhage. To inhibit cerebral vascular spasm after hemorrhage may improve ischemic oxygen deficiency in brain tissue and probably be taken as one of the ways for xingnaojing he shengmai injection giving play to its therapeutic effects.

Objective To detect the effect and mechanism of Cyr61 on the apoptosis of renal tissue caused by early stage of ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods 30 SD rats were randomized into 5 groups, including control group, AKI group, AKI+bicarbonate group, AKI+blank virus group, and AKI+over?expression Cyr61 virus group. After animal models were created for 2h, serum and renal tissue were collected from sacrificed animals. Expression level of TNF?α was determined by ELISA. HE staining was used to observe the histologic changes of renal tissues. The levels of NF?κB p65 and TNFR1 were measured by immunohistochemical method. RT?PCR and Western blotting assay were adopted to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of NF?κB p65, TNFR1 and Caspase3. Results Compared with control group, AKI group, AKI+bicarbonate group, AKI+blank virus group, AKI+over?expression Cyr61 virus group had obvious kidney injury. The levels of TNF?α, the mRNA and protein expression levels of NF?κB p65, TNFR1 and caspase3 were markedly up?regulated. Over?expression of Cyr61 significantly attenuated the degree of pathological injury, numbers of apoptotic renal tubular epithelial cells and increased the degree of Scr. Although compared with other groups, the level of TNF?α in kidney tissue had no difference, there was obvious decreased protein level of NF?κB p65, while the increase of TNFR1 and Caspase3 protein was moderate. Conclusions During the early stage of AKI, over expression of Cyr61 could inhibit apoptosis, which may be related to the suppression of TNFR1 transcriptional expression and interference of TNF?αpathway. Its underlying mechanism therefore deserves further research.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous microwave ablation in the treatment of hypersplenism.Methods From March 2007 to May 2011,38 patients with hepatitis B virus caused liver cirrhosis and complicated with hypersplenism received percutaneous microwave ablation treatment for several times.Before percutaneous microwave ablation treatment,the volume of spleen was calculated according to 3D computed tomography (CT) scan.Ultrasound,blood routine,urine routine,liver function test,kidney function test,serum amylase and lipase were also tested.For the first time,1/3 volume of spleen was ablated.If no complication were observed in one week after ablation,then another 1/3 volume of spleen was ablated.Blood routine and liver function test were checked on the 1st,3rd and 5th day after microwave ablation.Blood routine,liver function test and ultrasound were examined on 7th and 14th day after microwave ablation.On the 30th day CT examination was conducted.Ultrasound,blood routine,urine routine,liver function test,kidney function test,serum amylase and lipase were detected at one month,three month and every three month after microwave ablation.The follow up duration was over two years.The t-test was performed for clinical data comparison.Results The mean ratio of ablated spleen was (47 ±5)％ (range 41％ to 57％).Preoperative white blood cell count was (2.46±0.78)× 109/L,which gradually increased after operation and peaked on the 3rd day after operation ((5.34 ± 2.10) × 109/L).Then gradually decreased,which was (3.16 ± 1.02) × 109/L at 24 month and the difference was statistically significant compared with that of preoperation (t=-3.349,P＜0.01).Preoperative platelet count was (46.58 ± 17.30) × 109/L,which gradually decreased after operation and was lowest on the 3rd day after operation.Then gradually increased,which peaked at 30 days after operation ((101.79 ± 25.80) × 109/L) and then gradually decreased,which was (61.97 ± 15.09) × 109/L at 24 month and the difference was statistically significant compared with that of preoperation (t＝-4.135,P＜0.01).The inner diameter of portal vein was (14.66±0.88) mm preoperation,which was (13.22±0.64) mm at three month after operation and the difference was statistically significant compared with that of preoperation (t=8.145,P＜0.01).It was (14.64±0.81) mm at six month after operation and the difference was not statistically significant compared with that of preoperation (P＞ 0.05).The major adverse effects were fever,left upper abdominal pain,left shoulder pain,pleural effusion,intraperitoneal hemorrhage and temporary hemoglobinuria which all recovered after symptomatic treatment.No severe complication such as uncontrollable bleeding,splenic abscess,spleen rupture and the surrounding organ injury and treatment related death were observed.Conclusion Percutaneous microwave ablation for several times could safely destroy suitable volume of spleen,increase platelet and white blood cell count,improve portal hypertension and with rare complications,which might be a minimally invasive techniques with clinical application value in the treatment of the hypersplenism.

Objective To study the feasibility and care mode of remote fetal monitoring at primary hospital. Methods A questionnaire survey was administered to 71 hospitals of different levels in Jiangsu province.Question-naire content included human resources status of midwifery,the remote fetal monitoring system and its clinical applica-tion;anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted to 130 maternal women by random cluster sampling;investigation of remote fetal monitoring device type,operation mode,clinical usage and existing problems was done through the doc-ument retrieval of VIP and Wanfang data platform.Results In grade Ⅱhospital,obstetricians sufficient and insuffi-cient were 10 cases (24.39%),31 cases(75.6%),respectively,and in grade Ⅲ hospital were 8 cases (61.53%), 5 cases (38.46%),respectively,there was statistically significant difference between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ hospital (χ2 =4.572,P <0.05);In grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ hospital midwives were obviously insufficient,but there was no sta-tistically significant difference between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ hospital(χ2 =0.219,P >0.05).Different cultural lev-el,place of residence,occupation of maternal demand for the development of remote fetal monitoring were urgent and higher degree of acceptance,but the cognition was not comprehensive,college degree or above,technical personnel and urban pregnant women that their need for remote fetal monitoring were the most urgent.There were significant differ-ences(all P <0.01).The use of remote fetal monitoring equipment was mostly at tertiary hospital nationwide.3G net-work way to transfer data had short time and small scope.Conclusion The existing monitoring system and service mode can not meet the requirements of the implementation of remote fetal monitoring,medical personnel professional quality and maternal comprehensive quality are the main influencing factors.The primary hospitals should actively pro-mote the application of remote fetal monitoring,maternal health care services and health education should arouse the attention of the whole society.

BACKGROUND:Under mitomycin C treatment, feeder cells appear to have restricted proliferation, but they are stil able to secret different cytokines. Non-mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow and secreted factors in plasma maintain the micro-environment suitable for the growth of mesenchymal stem cells that can improve the yield of mesenchymal stem cells.
OBJECTIVE:To study the biological characteristics of C57 mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells isolated using a whole bone marrow adherent culture technique.
METHODS:Using the whole bone marrow adherent culture technique, purified and amplified C57 mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were harvested. cellproliferation kinetics, immune cellsurface markers, multiple differentiation potential and cellcycle were detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Using the whole bone marrow culture, mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were harvested and capable of adhering to the plastic culture vessel. The obtained cells expressed CD45, CD105 and Sca-1, but were negative for CD34, CD33 and C-kit. The doubling time was (57.11±1.5) hours. The cells could be induced to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes. The cellcycle analysis showed that 64%of cells were in G 0-G 1 phase. These indicates that C57 mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells isolated using a whole bone marrow adherent culture technique have biological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells.
