Objective:Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs)are a highly attractive source in bone tissue engineering.To generate a luciferase reporter system that could be used to quantitatively and rapidly examine osteogenic differentiation potential of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs ) in vitro,and eventually make it possible to monitor the osteogenic differentiation of transplanted cells in vi-vo.Methods:The genomic DNA harboring promotor regions of osteocalcin and DNA sequences encoding luciferase genes were amplified by PCR and cloned into the pLVX-pTRE-puro vector to generate the OCpro-Luc-Puro construct.Then,the OCpro-Luc-Puro construct together with three assistant vectors:pM-DLg/pRRE,pRSV-REV,and pVSVG,were transiently transfected into HEK293T cells followed by viral supernatants collection,filtration and concentration.Next,the hASCs stably expressing luciferase repor-ter gene driven by osteocalcin promotor were created with the lentivirus carrying OCpro-Luc-Puro cassette under puromycin selection.The OCpro-Luc-hASCs were then cultured in the absence or presence of osteo-genic differentiation medium.On the 7th and 1 4th days,after osteogenic induction,cellular extracts were collected and analyzed by luciferase reporter assay.Meanwhile,alizarin red staining and quantification as well as quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR)analysis of osteogenic associated genes osteo-calcin (OC),runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2)and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)were used to assess the osteogenic differentiation ability of OCpro-Luc-hASCs.Results:OCpro-Luc-Puro plasmid and OCpro-Luc-hASCs were successfully generated.On the 7th and 1 4th days after osteogenic induction,the luciferase activity of the cellular extracts from OCpro-Luc-hASCs was dramatically increased.Consistently, the extracellular matrix mineralization,as shown by Alizarin red S (ARS)staining and quantification was also markedly intensified and a marked increase of the mRNA expression levels of OC,Runx2 and ALP, although to variable extent,was observed upon osteogenic differentiation.These results indicated that the observations from traditional experiments examining hASCs osteogenic differentiation were largely in agreement with that of our luciferase reporter assay in OCpro-Luc-hASCs.Conclusion:We established a luciferase reporter system that could be used to rapidly,quantitatively and specifically determine osteo-genic differentiation ability of hASCs.Comparing with the traditional time-consuming methods,the system we generated here was highly effective.This system not only can be used to examine ostogenic differentia-tion of hASCs in a high throughput manner,but also provides a way to monitor ostogenic differentiation of cells in vivo.

Graphene oxide (GO) modified stationary phase for open tubular capillary (3 m × 25 μm i. d. ) of liquid chromatography ( OT-CLC) was fabricated by coating GO sheets onto poly ( vinylbenzyl chloride-divinylbenzene) porous composite layer via covalent coupling, which was prepared by in-situ polymerization. Scanning electron microscopy ( SEM), Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy ( TEM) were used to characterize the structure of the stationary phase. The results demonstrated that poly(vinylbenzyl chloride-divinylbenzene) porous composite layer had decentralized globular structure, and the GO sheets covered on the porous layer homogenously. The phase ratio and sample capacity were greatly improved due to the spherical polymer layer and the coverage of GO. Thus, alkyl benzenes, neutral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, acidic and basic compounds could be well separated by using acetonitrile-water as eluent, while four nucleobases were completely separated by using acetonitrile-0. 02 mol/ L ammonium acetate as mobile phase. The run-to-run, day-to-day, and column-to-column reproducibilities were evaluated by calculating the relative standard deviations (RSDs, n =6) of the retention time of o-phenylenediamine, aniline and 2, 4, 6-trifluoroaniline, respectively. These RSD values were all in the range of 0. 3% -2. 0% .

Objective To investigate the correlation of glucose and blood lipid metabolism in elderly patients with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection complicated with metabolic syndrome (MS), and to provide theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of MS patients. Methods A total of 176 elderly MS patients treated in our hospital from February 2020 to February 2021 were selected. Uremic [13C] tablet breath test kit was used to determine Hp infection. According to Hp infection, they were divided into Hp positive group (n=59) and Hp negative group (n=117). Glucose metabolism indexes (FBG, 2hPG, HbA1c, FINS) and serum lipid metabolism indexes (TC, HDL-C, LDL-C) were determined in all subjects. Risk factors of Hp infection in MS patients were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted between sreum LDL-C, HbA1c and FINS levels and DOB value in MS patients. Results The levels of FBG, 2hPG, HbA1c, FINS and LDL-C in Hp positive group were significantly higher than those in Hp negative group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in LDL-C and TC between Hp positive group and Hp negative group (P>0.05). It showed that LDL-C, HbA1c and FINS were independent risk factors for Hp infection in MS patients (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that There was a positive correlation between DOB and LDL-C, HbA1c and FINS levels in MS patients (r=0.475,0.512,0.459,P<0.05). Conclusion Hp infection can affect glucose and lipid metabolism in elderly MS patients, and there is a close relationship between Hp infection and ldL-C, HbA1c and FINS levels in elderly MS patients.

Objective To determine the risk factors associated with early allograft dysfunction (EAD) after liver transplantation. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the records of 138 patients who underwent liver transplantation from January 2006 to October 2016 in our department. Transplant recipients were divided into two groups:those who met the diagnostic criteria of EAD (EAD group) and those who did not (non-EAD group). We compared blood flow into the transplanted livers and other clinical features between the two groups using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results Intraoperative portal vein flow (PVF) maximum was significantly different between the two groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that intraoperative PVF maximum <1 600 mL/min was the only independent risk factor for the occurrence of EAD after liver transplantation in this cohort. Conclusion Intraoperative PVF maximum <1 600 mL/min is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of EAD after liver transplantation. Measuring intraoperative blood flow into the transplanted liver in liver transplant recipients may help identify patients at risk for developing EAD.

Objective:
To discuss and summarize the nursing care of a patient with difficult extubation due to asymptomatic thrombosis of PICC.
Methods:
By observing the local and global conditions, psychological tests, chest X-ray localization and vascular ultrasound, using critical thinking, the causes of difficult extubation were analyzed; after active anticoagulation and thrombolytic therapy, intermittent extubation of PICC; after extubation, continuous nursing was done.
Results:
After the above nursing measures were implemented, PICC was removed intermittently within 24 hours, and after 3 months vascular ultrasound was showing that the thrombus in the blood vessel had been completely organized.
Conclusion
When we encounter difficulties in PICC removal, it is not necessary to extubate the PICC forcibly. It is necessary to analyze the causes and implement correct nursing measures to improve the success rate of extubation.
