This article reports a preliminary observation oh the growth of cercarial embryo of S.japonicum in defined medium cultivated one week in vitro. When extract of head-foot tissue of Oncomelania hupensis was added to the medium contained 1/2 RPMI 1640, the length of cercarial embryo increased. While liver extract of the snail was added to the same medium, the growth was inhibited.It seemed that the extract of snail liver tissue might be poisonous to the cercarial embryo.

Objective To summarize the complications of the single-port transumbilical laparoscopic pyeloureteroplasty.Methods From August 2009 to December 2014, 162 surgical procedures were performed in our institute with the single-port transumbilical laparoscopic pyeloureteroplasty.Medical records of each procedure were retrospectively evaluated.139 patients were male and 23 female, aged from 1 month to 14 years and the median age of 2 years.127 patients were operated on the left side and 32 on the right side.3 patients were operated on the bilateral side.All children were supplemented with preoperative ultrasound, renal dynamic imaging and MRU to identify the ureteropelvic junction obstruction.Intraoperative and postoperative complications were graded according to the Satava and Clavien classifications respectively.Major complications were defined as Satava grade Ⅱ or higher, and Clavien grade Ⅲ or higher.Results There was no injury of vascular or visceral organs and no blood transfusion, and there was no serious intraoperative complications.One hundred and forty-three cases were followed up, and 23 cases (16.1％)presented with postoperative fever (＞ 38 ℃C) (Clavien Ⅰ), 2 cases (1.4％) with urinary extravasation diagnosed by perirenal fluid collection(Clavien Ⅰ).All these cases recovered after being given symptomatic treatment.7 cases (4.9％) presented with postoperative repeated urinary infection (Clavien Ⅱ).5 cases received postoperative reoperation due to the obstruction of the anastomic site (Clavien Ⅲ b), and 2 cases were under debridement as the greater omentum was drawn out along with the negative pressure drainage tube(Clavien Ⅲ a).In summary, the incidence of severe postoperative complications was 4.9％.Conclusions Though there existed some postoperative complications of the single-port transumbilical laparoscopic pyeloureteroplasty, the incidence of serious complications was low and the overall prognosis could be good.

OBJECTIVE: To study the impurity of pentoxifylline and glucose injection and confirm its structure and source. METHODS: LC-MS was used to speculate the structure of the impurity. The impurity was synthesized by using theobromine and 1, 3-di-bromopropane as the starting materials and the structure was identified by IR, LC-MS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR. RESULTS: The impurity was identified to be 1, 1′-(propane-1, 3-diyl)bis(3, 7-dimethyl-3, 7-dihydro-1H-purine-2, 6-dione). CONCLUSION: The study provides theoretical basis for the control of impurity in the production process and quality assessment of pentoxifylline and glucose injection.

Objective: To observe the effects of He-Ne laser therapy instrument on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) growth and neural differentiation potential. Methods: The primary BMSCs from Sprague-Dawley rats were taken using whole bone marrow culture. The passage 3 cells were randomly divided into an experimental group (He-Ne laser therapy instrument treated for 10 min) and a control group (exposing in the air for the same time) according to whether they were treated with the He-Ne laser therapy instrument or not. The cell proliferation activity was measured with cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Apoptosis detection was performed using flow cytometry. The cell vitality was detected by Trypan blue staining. Human neural stem cell differentiation potential was identified by immunofluorescence technique. Results: Circled digit oneCells showed a fibroblast-like adherent growth. The phenotypic identification results revealed that the expressions of CD29 and CD90 were positive, but the expression of CD45 was negative, and it is consistent with the characteristics of the BMSC phenotype. Circled digit twoThere was no significant difference in the proliferative activity between the experiment group and the control group, P > 0.05. Circled digit threeThere were no significant differences between the early apoptosis rate (1.10 ± 0.26%) in the experiment group and that (1.43 ± 0.06%) in the control group, as well as the cell viability (96.2 ± 0.6%) in experiment group and that (96.2 ± 0.7%) in the control group. Circled digit fourSimilar to the control group, BMSCs in the experiment group showed the suspended neurospheres after being cultured in neural stem cell culture medium. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the nestin staining of neurosphere cells was positive. Conclusion: He-Ne laser therapy instrument has no significant effects on the proliferation and viability of BMSCs. It does not cause apoptosis and change the potential of BMSCs to neural stem cell differentiation.
