Objective To evaluate the effects of recombinant human hematopoietic synergistic factor (rhHSF) on rapid mobilization of the peripheral blood stem cells. Methods 8 monkeys were divided into rhG-CSF 10?g/(kg?day) and rhG-CSF 10?g/(kg?day) + rhHSF 500?g/(kg?day) group, with 4 monkeys in each group. All of them received rhG-CSF subcutaneously once daily for 4 days, and in the latter group, the animals received rhHSF subcutaneously in single dose on the fifth day. Results The highest counts of CD34~+ cell, CFU-GM and neutrophils in animals receiving rhHSF only were 23, 1.8 and 3.3 times of baseline value at 180, 45 and 60 min, while those in animals receiving rhG-CSF and rhHSF were 41.3, 8.3 and 4.9 times of base line value. Conclusion rhHSF can rapidly mobilize hematopoietic stem cells and neutrophils into peripheral blood, and it is found to synergize with G-CSF to augment stem cell mobilization, suggesting a potent clinical utility of rhHSF in peripheral blood stem cells transplantation.

BACKGROUND:Baloon kyphoplasty is effective in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, but it is unclear that which one is proper, unilateral or bilateral approach, with better efficacy and fewer
complications.
OBJECTIVE:To assess the efficacy and safety of unilateralversus bilateral baloon kyphoplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
METHODS: We searched the electronic bibliographic databases including Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Knowledge, CBMdisc and other databases to colect clinical trials concerning unilateral versus bilateral baloon kyphoplasty. Two estimators independently evaluated the quality of these included studies and analyzed data by Cochrane Colaboration’s RevMan 5.2 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fourteen trials involving 876 patients were included. There were 442 cases of unilateral approach and 434 of bilateral approach. The meta-analysis showed that there were no significant
differences in pain score by visual analog scale, vertebral height, and kyphotic angle; while the unilateral approach had less operating time, lower amount of cement injected and lower risk of cement leakage
than the bilateral approach [mean difference (MD)=-19.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) (-24.42,-14.24);
MD=-2.07, 95%CI (-2.42,-1.71); odds ratio=0.47, 95% CI (-24.42,-14.240)]. These findings indicate that the unilateral baloon kyphoplasty can reduce the leakage rate of bone cement.

This study examined endogenous cannabinoid (ECB)-anandamide (AEA) and its cannabinoid receptors (CBR) in mice liver with the development of schistosoma japonicum. Mice were infected with schistosoma by means of pasting the cercaria onto their abdomens. Liver fibrosis was pathologically confirmed nine weeks after the infection. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to determine the concentration of AEA in the plasma of mice. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of CBR1 and CBR2 in liver tissue. Morphological examination showed typical pathological changes, with worm tubercles of schistosoma deposited in the liver tissue, fibrosis around the worm tubercles and infiltration or soakage of inflammatory cells. Also, CBR1 and CBR2 were present in hepatocytes and hepatic sinusoids of the two groups, but they were obviously enhanced in the schistosoma-infected mice. However, the average optical density of CBR1 in the negative control and fibrosis group was 13.28+/-7.32 and 30.55+/-7.78, and CBR2 were 28.13+/-6.42 and 52.29+/-4.24 (P<0.05). The levels of AEA in the fibrosis group were significantly increased as compared with those of the control group. The concentrations of AEA were (0.37+/-0.07) and (5.67+/-1.34) ng/mL (P<0.05). It is concluded that the expression of endocannabinoids AEA and its cannabinoid receptor CBR were significantly increased in schistosoma-infected mice. Endogenous endocannabinoids may be involved in the development of schistosoma-induced liver fibrosis.

A rapid, simple and practical high-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with diode array detector (HPLC–DAD) was developed to evaluate the quality of Alisma orientale (Sam.) Juz. through a simultaneous determination of four major active triterpenes using a single standard to determine the multi-components (SSDMCs). Alisol B 23-acetate was selected as the reference compound for calculating the relative response factors. All calibration curves showed good linearity (R240.9998) within test ranges. RSDs for intra- and inter-day of four analytes were less than 3.6% and 2.3%; the overall recovery was 92.1–110.2%(SSDMC). The proposed method was successfully applied to quantify the four components in 20 samples from different localities in China. Moreover, significant variations were demonstrated in the content of these compounds. In addition, hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) and principal components analysis (PCA) were performed to differentiate and classify the samples based on the contents of Alisol C 23-acetate, Alisol A, Alisol A 24-acetate and Alisol B 23-acetate. This simple, rapid, low-cost and reliable HPLC–DAD method using SSDMC is suitable for routine quantitative analysis and quality control of A. orientale (Sam.) Juz.

The construction of hospital administration talent echelon has become a " bottleneck" problem in the core competence construction of county-level public hospitals in ethnic regions. West China-Mabian Medical Alliance has made a preliminary exploration on the cultivation of hospital management talents in county-level public hospitals. The hospital carried out the working principle of " setting up a talent pool by post" , and gradually established a reserve talent pool with suitable scale and dynamic adjustment by providing part-time project management positions for young employees in the hospital. There were three kinds of part-time project management positions: part-time assistant to president, part-time project supervisor and part-time department management assistant. In addition, the hospital strengthened the ideological and political education, medical management theory training and practical training of the reserve talents in a planned way. The practical experience of hospital reserve management personnel training based on West China-Mabian Medical Alliance can be used for reference by other county-level hospitals.
