Stem cell is one of the hot spot in the research area of biomedical engineering. Special attentions are drawn to the research and application of neural stem cells. Neural stem cells exist widely in central nervous system, which has the capacity of self-renewal and the potential to differentiate into other cells. The so-called engineered neural stem cell is constructed by using the technique of genetic engineering to make it be able to express various neural growth factors with high-performance and stability. The engineered neural stem cells have a great potential in the therapy of diseases of central nervous system, especially the spinal cord injury. This article reviews the research development of engineered neural stem cells, the problems confronted with it, and the trend for research in the future.

Objective To observe the clinical characteristics and surgical methods of strabismus following external approach for retinal detachment,and explore the common factors related to deviation angles of strabismus.Methods Twenty-five cases of secondary strabismus following external approach for retinal detachment underwent strabismus surgery were recruited,and the follow-up time was from 5 months to 41 months.Ophthalmic examinations were performed before operation.Clinical characteristics of these cases were observed by intraoperative exploration,including preoperative and postoperative eye position and ocular movement (at 1 week and further followup).The preoperative and postoperative deviation angles of strabismus were evaluated according to the times of retinal detachment operation,postoperative BCVA and the surgery procedure of hang-back recession.Results Before strabismus operation,all cases underwent abnormal eye-movements,8 cases suffered from diplopia,and scar adhesions were observed in all involved ocular muscles during operation.Seven cases underwent weakening procedure of extraocular muscle,18 cases underwent weakening procedure plus strengthening procedure.Ten cases underwent hang-back recession among them.At 1 week and the final follow-up,the eyeball in21 cases and 15 cases were in position,4 cases and 9 cases were in undercorrection,5 cases and 7 cases were in limitation,and 2 cases and 1 case were in diplopia.The more operations were performed in retinal detachment,the more scar adhesions were presented,and statistical significance existed with the mean deviation angles before and after operation(in a week) between cases that had one-time and over-one-time of retinal detachment surgery (P =0.01,0.00).No difference of mean deviation angles was found at one week after operation and at follow-ups between the cases with and without hang-back recession (P =0.26,0.63).Conclusion Abnormal eyemovements,diplopia and scar adhesion are the most common clinical characteristics of strabismus following retinal detachment surgery.Times of retinal detachment operation and postoperative BCVA can influence the deviation angles of strabismus,and hang-back recession seems the safe and effective method of strabismus surgery.

Objective To explore the effects of atmospheric haze and air pollutants(PM10, PM2.5), SO2, NO2 on hospital visits for cardiovascular diseases. Methods The relationship among atmospheric haze, air pollution and the outpatients data of Guangzhou for cardiovascular disease had been investigated by collecting the air pollution data, the meteorological data and cardiovascular diseases’ outpatients data in Guangzhou city from January 1, 2006 to December 31,2008 . The time-series analysis by auto-regression model was used, controlling for long -term trends, seasonal patterns and meteorological variables. Results Auto-regression model showed that the number of outpatients in 2008 was higher than that in 2006.The number was larger in April and December compared with that in January, and it was higher on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday than on Saturday, Sunday. There was a positive correlation between the haze level and cardiovascular outpatients. The number of hospital outpatients increased by 2.12 units with each additional day of the atmospheric haze. The haze level (lag2) of the former second day had a negative impact on the intraday data of outpatients. The residual parts showed that outpatients’ residual data (AR1, AR3) of the former first and third day had a positive effect on intraday outpatients’ residual data (increased by 52.25%, 26.1%), while the outpatients’ residual data of the former second day (AR2) had a negative effect on outpatients’ residual data of the present day (decreased by 17%). In addition, a variety of air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, and NO2) showed some positive correlation, and had hysteresis. Conclusion The atmospheric haze, generated from suspended particulate, meteorological factor and gaseous pollutants, is the environmental pathogenic factor for the cardiovascular diseases, while the effects of single air pollutant on the hospital visit for cardiovascular diseases can be weakened by the haze pollution.

Objective To Investigate the mechanism of augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) in promoting proliferation of damaged hepatocyte. Methods The inhibitory effects of ALR on the expression of TGF-?_1 in hepatic stellate cell and Kupffer cell were studied by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. The effects of hepatic stellate cell (Ito cell) conditioned medium (ICCM+) and Kupffer cell conditioned medium (KCCM+) prepared by treatment of using augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) on damaged hepatocytes proliferation were studied by MTT. The antagonistical role of ALR on TGF-?_1, which inhibited damaged hepatocyte proliferation was investigated by MTT determination. Results Immunoreactive positive signal of TGF-?_1 in hepatic stellate cell and Kupffer cell stimulated by ALR were decreased. Immunolabeling of TGF-?_1 in hepatic stellate cell stimulated by ALR was weakened. The proliferation of damaged hepatocytes was increased significantly by administration of ICCM and KCCM. ALR could reverse the inhibitory role of TGF-?_1 on the proliferation of damaged hepatocyte. Conclusion ALR can promote proliferation of injured hepatocyte indirectly by inhibiting expression of TGF-?_1 in hepatic stellate cell and Kupffer cell.
