BACKGROUND: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), a kind of adult stem cells, possess plasticity and can be induced into myocardial cells under certain conditions. Autologous ADSCs transplanted into the infarct area can differentiate into myocardial cells and vascular endothelial cells to construct new vessels and thereby improve cardiac pump function. OBJECTIVE: To study the factors that influence ADSCs differentiation and transplantation and the current clinical and laboratory research progress of ADSCs transplantation for treatment of cardiomyopathy.METHODS: A computer-based retrieval was performed in Medline (between January 1990 and April 2010), PubMed database, the China Biological Medicine Database (CBM) (between January 1990 and April 2010), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) with the keywords adipose-derived stem cells, myocardial cells, cell differentiation, cell transplantation, cardiomyopathy treatment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 30 articles, consisting of 6 reviews and 24 randomized controlled trials, were obtained. At present, there have been uniform methods of ADSCs isolation and culture, and ADSCs can be effectively proliferated in vitro, but there have been no direct methods to identify these stem cells. ADSCs differentiation can be induced both in vitro and in vivo, besides, with a characteristic of early differentiation. ADSCs transplantation is a more conductive therapy for myocardial disease compared with bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation. Different ADSCs transplantation methods should be carried out in different types of cardiomyopathy. Stem cell labeling technique can help to dynamically monitor implanted in vivo. Transplantion of autologous ADSCs is a new way to treating cardiomyopathy. However, for successes in clinical practice, the method to inhibit tumor cells-promoting characteristics is needed to ensure long-term safety of the patients receiving ADSCs transplantation.

Objective To discuss the efficacy and complications of using AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy in treating acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Methods The clinical data of 22 patients with acute lower extremity DVT,who were treated with AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy during the period from February 2015 to August 2016,were retrospectively analyzed.The improvement of clinical symptoms and the thrombus clearance rate were calculated to evaluate the curative effect.The procedure-related complications were documented.Results The clinical symptoms were relieved immediately after operation in all 22 patients.The thigh circumference difference between the affected side and the healthy side decreased from preoperative (4.5±0.6) cm to postoperative (1.0±0.4) cm,the difference in change was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The mean used dose of urokinase was (0.18±0.03) million unit and the average duration of thrombolysis was (4.2±0.7) hours.Complete removal of DVT (＞90％) was achieved in 19 patients,most removal of DVT (50％-90％) in 2 patients,and partial removal of DVT (＜50％) in one patient.After treatment,6 patients developed transient hemoglobinuria,which was relieved after hydration with fluid infusion on the same day.No serious complications such as pulmonary embolism or hemorrhage occurred.Conclusion For the treatment of acute lower extremity DVT,AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy is safe and effective with less complications.

Purpose:To determine the efficacy of paclitaxel in human bladder cancer lines and to investigate the mechanism by which paclita xel induce apoptosis in human bladder cancer cells. Methods:BIU-87, 5637, T24 and EJ bladder cancer cell lines wer e cultured by techniques of cell culture in vitro. The cytotoxic activity an d apoptosis induction abilities of paclitaxel were analyzed by MTT and Annexin- V assay as well as DNA cytometry , respectively. The effects on the cell cycle w ere assessed by flow cytometry of propidium iodide. The expressions of Bcl-2, B ax, p53 and Caspase3 proteins were determined by flow cytometry immunofluorescen ce. Results:Paclitaxel dose-dependent inhibition of cell prolifera tion was seen.Paclitaxel induced G_2/M arrest (71.29% and 64.57%) which was maximal in 5637 and EJ cell lines. While paclitaxel at 1?g/ml concentration ex posure to 5637 12h, 14h and 48h respectively, the apoptosis rates of the respect ive times were 5.0%, 12.9%, 27.6%. The expression of genes p53 and Bcl-2 was no t influenced, whereas the expression of Bax and Caspase3 had increases time-dep endently after exposure to paclitaxel. The analysis of Annexin-V showed a drama tic dose-dependent increase of apoptosis. Conclusions:Paclitaxel inhibited bladder cancer cells prolifera tion and had more effect on those cells whose grade was lower and doubling time was longer. Paclitaxel could block G_2/M arrest, and induce apoptosis by th e path of Bcl-2/Bax in bladder cancer cell lines.

To explore the effects of Celastrus orbiculatus extract (COE) on the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins and growth of human gastric adenocarcinoma SGC-7901 cell xenografts in nude mice. Thirty-five mice with subcutaneous xenografts of a gastric cancer cell line (SGC-7901) were randomly divided into five groups: a negative control group, a positive control group (xeloda), and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose COE groups (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg, respectively). There were seven mice in each group. Tumor volume, tumor weight, and body weight were measured to draw up tumor growth curves and the tumor weight inhibition rates were calculated. The apoptosis rates were measured by TUNEL staining method and the expressions of p53, Bcl-2, and Bax proteins were detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting assay. The COE could inhibit the growth of SGC-7901 xenografts in a dose-dependent manner. The tumor inhibitory rates were 33.3%, 46.8%, and 57.7% when treated with 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg COE, respectively. TUNEL assay showed that COE presented with apparently more apoptosis than the negative control group. The results of immunohistochemical staining showed the expressions of p53 and Bax proteins had a trend of up-regulation, while the expression of Bcl-2 protein had a trend of down-regulation in nude mice after treatment with COE. Compared with the negative control group, the expressions of p53 and Bax were significantly up-regulated, while the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated in the high-dose COE group. Western blotting analysis showed the similar results to immunohistochemical staining. COE could significantly inhibit the growth of SGC-7901 cell xenografts in nude mice, which might be related with the up-regulation of the expressions of p53 and Bax and down-regulation of the expression of Bcl-2.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of combining two needling manipulations, Er Long Xi Zhu (two dragons playing with a pearl) and Guo Yan Re (heat produced to reach the eyes), in treating dry eye syndrome (DES) of lung-yin deficiency pattern. Methods: Fifty-six eligible DES patients of lung-yin deficiency were randomized into an observation group and a control group, with 28 cases in each group. Same acupoints were selected in the two groups: Cuanzhu (BL 2), Sizhukong (TE 23), Taiyang (EX-HN 5) and Fengchi (GB 20) were chosen as the major points and Feishu (BL 13) and Chize (LU 5) as the adjuvant. Er Long Xi Zhu and Guo Yan Re needling manipulations were applied in the observation group while twirling reinforcing manipulation was used in the control group. Treatment was conducted once per day in both groups, for two sets of 15 consecutive days at a 2-day interval. Changes in the symptom score, tear break-up time (BUT) and tear production were observed afterwards, and the clinical efficacy was also compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate was 92.8％ in the observation group, higher than 71.4％ in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the symptom score, tear BUT and tear production showed significant improvements in both groups (all P<0.05); the symptom score, BUT and tear production in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Given the same acupoint selection, combining Er Long Xi Zhu and Guo Yan Re needling manipulations can produce more significant clinical efficacy than twirling reinforcing manipulation in treating DES of lung-yin deficiency pattern.
