BACKGROUND:Induced pluripotent stem cels and mesenchymal stem cels-derived microvesicles have been confirmed in various tissue repairs, which are expected to become more effective and safe therapy for articular cartilage repair. OBJECTIVE:To overal understand the research progress in the use of induced pluripotent stem cels and mesenchymal stem cels-derived microvesicles in articular cartilage repair. METHODS: A computer-based search of PubMed and CNKI was performed by the first author for articles related to stem cel treatment of osteoarthritis published from 2003 to 2015. The keywords were “articular cartilage injury, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels” in English and Chinese, respectively. In the same field, articles published recently or in authorized journals were preferred. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Articular cartilage injury is stil a difficulty in the orthopedics. Many repair methods have been reported, but they al have limitations. Induced pluripotent stem cels and mesenchymal stem cels-derived microvesicles bring a new hope for patients with articular cartilage injury. However, there are stil many problems to be solved, such as extracting and purifying a large amount of cels, proliferation and differentiation potentials, and mechanism underlying cartilage repair.

ObjectiveTo research the current situation at traditional Chinese clinics in urban area of Beijing,and to propagate the importance of re-visiting.Methods500 outpatients were selected randomly from 4 traditional Chinese clinics in urban area of Beijing from April 1st in 2010 to March 31st in 2011.Questionnaires were undertaken by these patients,including 120 first visitors and 380 re-visitors,then SPSS17.0 was used to statistically analyze the re-visiting proportion,influence factors and reasons for re-visiting.Results The highest re-visiting proportion was 56.7％ in 4 clinics and the total was 47.0％; 13.6％ patients who didn't have re-visit choice for their having no significant curative effect,12.6％ for having no time,10.3％ for having been recovered; patients who had curative effect and doctor's advice to re-visit may be the related influence factors of re-visiting; in the investigation of reasons,73.0％ patients made re-visit choice for having curative effect,35.9％ for doctors' good medical ethics,35.9％ for doctors' advice.ConclusionThere was a low re-visiting proportion in these 4 traditional Chinese clinics in urban area of Beijing; the top three non-revisiting reasons were no significant curative effect,having no time and having recovered.Having curative effect and doctor's advice to re-visit may be the related influence factors of re-visiting; the top three re-visiting reasons were curative effect,doctor's good medical ethics and doctor's exhortation.

Objective To analysis the correlation of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and perihematoma edema of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods One hundred and forty-four patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were collected and 78 of these patients were suffered from OSAHS.The patients were divided into two groups,control and OSAHS group,according to whether were accompanied by OSAHS or not.Both of the groups received the routine treatments including dehydration,reducing blood press,protecting the cerebral cells and so on.Cerebral CT scan was taken on admission.Night polymonography (PSG) was done within 24 hours of admission.Twenty-four hours and 4 days after admission,cerebral CT scan was taken again.The volumes of cephalophyma and perihematoma edema were calculated according to the results of CT scan.The changes of cephalophyma and perihematoma edema were dynamic observed.Results No difference in patients' age,sex,body mass index,serum glucose,blood lipid and so on,was observed between the two groups.The relative edema index became significantly different until 4 days after admission (0.40 ± 0.45,0.96 ± 1.35 in control and OSAHS group respectively,t =4.149,P =0.000).Similarly,the alternation edema index of OSAHS was obviously higher than that of control group only in 4 days after admission.While the analysis of the correlation between different degree OSAHS groups and edema indexes showed that at 24 hours after admission the edema volumes for different degree OSAHS groups were consistent (1.05 ± 0.65,0.84 ± 0.48,1.20 ± 0.54,1.10 ±0.40 in control,slight,moderate and severe groups respectively,F =1.061,P =0.374).At 24 hours and 4 days after admission,the edema volumes were positively correlated with the degree of OSAHS.Alternation edema index was significantly correlated with apnea hypopnea index according to the result of Pearson' s correlation analysis (r =0.652,P =0.000).Conclusion OSAHS complication can promote the progression of perihematoma edema of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage,and the degree of edema aggravation is positive correlated to the degree of OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and technical superiority of mechanical thrombectomy using a direct aspiration first-pass thrombectomy (ADAPT) in treatment of patients with acute cerebral artery occlusion. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on all patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy in our institution from January 2013 to August 2016.Patients using ADAPT or stent retriever as a first-line endovascular procedure were compared for clinical characteristics, procedural variables and clinical outcomes. The technical superiority of ADAPT was analyzed in depth. Results During observation period, a total of 91 cases were performed endovascular treatment with mechanical thrombectomy. ADAPT was designed in 46 cases as a first-line endovascular procedure and was utilized in 38 cases (82.6%;ADAPT group), while primary stent retriever thrombectomy was performed in 21 patients(stent group). There was no significant difference in baseline clinical or radiographic factors between ADAPT and stent groups. Although rates of good neurological outcome (modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score≤2) at 90 days were similar between the ADAPT and stent groups (61%(23/38) vs 48%(10/21), P=0.247), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at seven days (6.0(2.0, 9.3) vs 9.0(5.5, 18.5),Z=-2.031,P=0.021) and full recovery rate of neurological outcome (mRS score=0, 37%(14/38) vs 10%(2/21), P=0.022) were significantly better in the ADAPT group than in the stent group. There were no significant differences in rates of embolus to new territory (21%(8/38) vs 29%(6/21), P=0.365), Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction (TICI) 2b/3 grade revascularization (84%(32/38) vs 81%(17/21), P=0.507) and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (0%(0/38) vs 10%(2/21), P=0.123) between the ADAPT and the stent groups, but the figures were better in the ADAPT group. Conclusions Mechanical thrombectomy using ADAPT is feasible and safe compared with stent retriever, with higher full recovery rate of neurological outcome and better NIHSS score.It is a method worthy of further exploration for endovascular mechanical recanalization.

Objective To detect the transferred vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)165 gene expression in rhesus autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and to explore the functional viability of transgenic MSCs. Methods MSCs from rhesus bone were isolated by Ficoll, which were used to detect the phenotype. After the culturing, the expression vector pcDNA-eGFP-VEGF165 was transfected into bone marrow MSCs. Fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry were used to detect the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) expression. At the same time, the phenotype in transfected MSCs was also indentified. The VEGF165 expression level was detected by RT-PCR. Results The highly purified MSCs were collected successfully. The transfected MSCs and daughter cells showed expressions of eGFP and VEGF165, which also remained the characteristics of MSCs. Conclusion The VEGF165 gene that is transfected into MSCs can maintain characteristics of MSCs, and stably express foreign genes.

Objective To explore the value of CT diagnosis of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). Methods The CT findings in 16 patients unfit to high altitude were analyzed. Results The findings on CT were as follows: (1) The early stage of HAPE showed ground glass opacity, most of which located at the superior segment and posterior basis segment of inferior lobes, with the right lung to occur earlier than that of the left lung. (2)The advanced stage showed shaggy opacity. (3) The late stage lesions developed to posterior and apical segment of the superior lobes, air bronchus sign could be seen on involved segments. (4)Right lung was more serious than left lung. Conclusion CT was an ideal method to find HAPE. The accuracy of CT diagnosis in HAPE was 100%.

Objective To evaluate the value of CT guided percutaneous lumbar diskectomy (CT PLD) at plateau area. Methods Sixty eight cases of lumbar disc herniation was reated with CT PLD. (1)Before operation, diseased intervertebral disc was scanned, cases were selected, and operation plan was plotted . (2)The best puncture arrangement was chosen on the current video CT picture by designing the puncture path, noting down the puncture parameter, and marking the puncture spot on patient′s body surface. (3)Puncture was performed according to fixed parameter. (4)Operation was performed after the puncture needle was put into the disc ascertained by scan.(5)CT scan was done again after operation to observe if the puncture path had bleeding and intervertebral disc recovery. Results After 3 to 18 months′ follow up, 28 cases were prominent effective and 36 cases effective. The lumbar disc backed 1 to 4 mm. The total effective rate was 94.12%. Conclusion CT PLD is an ideal therapeutic method for lumbar disc herniation at plateau area because it is safe and effective and with less complications.

Objective To investigate the association between matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 gene rs20544 polymorphism and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods Patients with AIS admitted to the Department of Neurology, TEDA Hospital from March 2016 to September 2018 were enrolled. They were divided into HT group and non-HT group depending on whether HT occurred. HT was defined as no bleeding found in the first imaging examination, and the head CT rescaning indicated a high-density lesion in the low-density area. MMP-9 gene rs20544 single nucleotide polymorphism was determined by TaqMan ? SNP genotype analysis kit. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent association between rs20544 polymorphism and HT. Results A total of 204 patients with AIS were enrolled, aged 66.91 ± 9.07 years, 89 males (43.63% ), and 45 (22.06% ) developed HT. There were significant differences in atrial fibrillation, diabetes, fasting blood glucose, and triglyceride between the HT group and the non-HT group (all P<0.05). There was also a significant difference in rs2054 genotype distribution between the HT group and the non-HT group (χ2 =7.067; P=0.029 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting atrial fibrillation, diabetes, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, and hyperlipidemia, rs20544 CC genotype (odds ratio 2.074, 95% confidence interval 1.368-4.041) and CT genotype (odds ratio 1.571, 95% confidence interval 1.109-2.544) were the independent risk factors for HT. Conclusion MRP-9 gene rs20544 single nucleotide polymorphism is associated with increased susceptibility to HT in patients with AIS.
