Objective To give a summary of the current researches on hematopoietic stem cell niche.Methods Through extensive reviewing the related domestic and abroad literatures,the present summary reviews the compo- nents of hematopoietic stem cell niche,related cell factors and related cell signaling pathway participating in regula- tion of hematopoietic stem cell.Results The activities of hematopoietic stem cells are regulated by the niche(micro- environment),which is composed of hematopoietic stem cell and its surrounding cells.The regulation cannot be completed through one signaling pathway.Also,the self-renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cell can- not be completed only through osteoblastic cells.Conclusion The niche regulates hematopoietic stem cells by differ- ent ways.With study in-depth,we will comprehensively understand the nature of stem cells and the study will pro- vide a broader space to stem cell-based therapy.

AIM: To evaluate the clinical effect and the rotational stability of AcrySof Toric intraocular lens ( IOL ) implantation to correct preexisting corneal astigmatism in cataract surgery.
METHODS: Twenty-three patients ( 28 eyes ) were enrolled from the department of ophthalmology in the first Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. All patients underwent similar phacoemulsification procedure combined with AcrySof Toric IOL implantation from June 2012 to December 2013. The uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , anticipated residual astigmatism, postoperative residual astigmatism, and Toric IOL axis were detected and measured.
RESULTS:Three months after operation, the UCVA of all eyes were 0. 75±0. 16 and the BCVA were 0. 84±0. 15, there was no significant difference between UCVA and BCVA ( t = 1. 036, P>0. 05 ). The anticipated residual astigmatism was ( 0. 28±0. 12 ) D. The actual residual astigmatism after 3mo of the operation was (0. 42±0. 17) D. There was no significant difference between anticipated and actual residual astigmatism (t=1. 259, P>0. 05). The mean axis rotation of Toric IOL was 3. 02o±1.56o (0o-7o) after 1d of operation and 3. 28o±1. 85o (0o-7o) after 3mo. Among all the eyes, 25 eyes ( 89%) rotated <5o, in 3 eyes (11%) rotated 5o-7o.
CONCLUSION: The AcrySof Toric IOL implantation shows good effectiveness, predictability and stability in correcting pre-existing astigmatism in cataract patients.

Hepatitis C virus(HCV)is the major etiology of non-A,non-B hepatitis.At present,neither a vaccine nor any effective therapy is available.Multi-epitope DNA vaccine(minigenes/epigenes)is a novel nucleic acid vaccine which can induces high effective cellular and humoral immune responses and has good perspective in clearing Hepatitis C virus through screening and assembling optimal antigen epitope genes(T cell、B cell epitope included).It is advanced in covering more HCV subtypes,inducing comprehensive anti-HCV immune responses and reducing the negative influence caused by irrelevant,disturbing and suppressive sequence as far as possible through selecting the most potential protective epitopes in DNA vaccine design.The recent research progress on HCV compound multi-epitope DNA vaccine and future prospects were reviewed.

Objective To investigate autonomic nervous system(ANS)function of hyperthyroidism and hyperthyroidism by analyzing the heart rate variability(HRV)of patients with the diseases.Methods 12-synchronous dynamic 24-hour monitoring and man-machine dialogue were performed in 49 patients with hyperthyroidism,25 patients with hypothyroidism and 40 controls after removing interference,and 24-hour electrocardiogram wag analyzed.Heart rate variability indicators observed included 24-hour time-domain indexes[standard deviation of all experimental time RR(SDNN),root of mean square standard deviation from adjacent RR interval(RMSSD)]and 24-hour frequency domain indicators[very low frequency power(VLF),low-frequency power(LF),high frequency power(HF),low frequency power/high frequency power(LF/HF)].Results Indicators of time domain in hyperthyroidism group,such as SDNN[(69.65±13.55)ms]and RMSSD[(12.98±3.20)ms]were obviously lower than those of the control group[(136.07±11.95),(29.70±5.85)ms],the differences being statistically significant (P＜0.01).Indicators of frequency domain HF[(5331±15.84)msz]were lower than those of the control group [(223.38±50.09)ms2],butVLF[(1823.55±238.13)ms2],LF[(501.88±92.47)ms2]and LF/HF(5.89±1.15)was higher compared with that in the control group,repectively[(325.68±60.47)ms2,(405.60±5 1.41)ms2,2.14±0.56,P＜0.01).Among time domain indicators in hypothyroidism group,SDNN[(77.00±15.48)ms]and RMSSD [(14.80±2.58)ms]were also obviously lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01),the difference being significant statistically(P＜0.01).Frequency domain index HF[(57.88±12.20)ms2],VLF[(251.48±24.67)ms2],LF[(128.68±43.78)ms2]also obviously lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01),but LF/HF,being 1.83±0.63,was in a normal range and did not significantly changed(P＞0.05). Conclusion In patients with hyperthyroidism both sympathetic and vagus nerves are hyperdynamic,while in patients with hypothyroidism,vagus nerves are hyperdynamic,while sympathetic nerve hypodynamic.

The presence of insufficient bone volume affects the implant healing and success. The aim of this study was to evaluate osteogenic capacity of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) on micro-arc oxidation (MAO) titanium surface. DPSCs were challenged at MAO and smooth titanium surface separately for different durations, and the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) served as the positive controls. The osteogenic capacity of DPSCs on MAO titanium surface was assessed by using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, biochemical tests and real-time quantitative PCR. Data showed that DPSCs differentiated into osteoblasts and expressed bone morphogenetic genes on MAO titanium surface. The results of this study revealed that DPSCs had good potential to generate mineralized tissue on MAO titanium plates. The differential potential of DPSCs may be regulated by MAO titanium surface. The osteogenesis potential of DPSCs on the MAO titanium was similar with BMSCs.

Objective To investigate the application of respiratory navigator echo triggered black blood contrast FSE in cardiac MRI. Methods The respiratory navigator echo trigger technique combining with black blood FSE (NAV-FSE) was tested on 11 volunteers and 5 patients in free breathing,using breath-hold FSE (BH-FSE) with the same imaging protocals as control. The imaging efficiency and the image sharpness were compared between NAV-FSE and BH-FSE and t-test was used for the statistics. Results All NAV-FSE acquisitions were completed in sixteen subjects while 4 BH-FSE acquisitions failed because of poor breath holding. The efficiencies of NAV-FSE were (42. 95±11.50)%, (56. 14±11.40)% and (55.25± 14. 70)% when echo train length (ETL) were 24, 16 and 8, respectively. When ETL were 16 and 24, the sharpness of NAV-FSE ( 0. 43±0. 02 vs 0. 36±0. 02 ) and BH-FSE ( 0. 36±0. 03 vs 0. 35±0. 02 ) were statistically different (t =4. 26, 5. 53 ,respectively; P <0. 05). NAV-FSE could have a shorter ETL setting without consideration of breath holding. Conclusion The navigator echo trigger technique could be compatible with black blood contrast FSE to image the heart without the restriction of breath holding and it allows to optimize the parameters to improve the image quality.
