BACKGROUND:Into the 21st century, the organ transplantation has been known as“the top medicine of twenty-first century with the rapid development”. However, the organ transplantation has been greatly limited by the shortage of donor organs. Meanwhile, in China, a ratio of 1:30 is the“bottleneck”of the development of organ transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the significance, content and approach of constructing a donation assistance system, and to analyze the problems of organ donation to be solved in China in order to propose rescue measures of organ donation.
METHODS:A computer-based online search in CNKI database and PubMed database was performed with the keywords of“organ donation, organ transplantation, assistance”by screening titles and abstracts. At the same time, understanding the organ donor and the medical staff through the interview provides a realistic basis for proposal of the rescue measures.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:From social, economic, psychological and other aspects, some humanitarian assistance given to organ donors is the trend for the rapid development of organ transplantation. Meanwhile, in aspects of the establishment of legal assistance, system design, organization construction, staffing, an assistance system for organ donation in China is proposed to ensure the implementation of rescue measures.

Abstract?AIM: To characterize the effects of sodium iodate on mouse retinal morphology and function.?METHODS: Sodium iodate at 35mg/kg ( body weight) was administered by tail vein injection into adult 6-8wk C57BL/6J mice. Morphological and functional changes of the retina were assessed at 6h, 1, 3, 5 and 8d after injections by fundus imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT), ERG and histology. Mice in control group were give tail vein injection of equivalent dose of normal saline. All the eyeballs were removed for paraffin section and H-E staining.?RESULTS: The fundus photographs images at 6h after injection showed obvious changes, which were light red in retina and showed retinal blood vessels radial arranged. At 6h after injection, off-white drusen-like change was found at fundus. While there were no observable changes in OCT image and ERG. At 1d after injection, the fundus lesion aggravated and the drusen increased gradually. There were retinal pigment epithelial ( RPE) disorders, photoreceptors and outer nuclear layer (ONL) damage through OCT. At 3d after injection, the retina lesion aggravated further and the retina became edema. At 5d after injection, the retina edema cleared away, the optic nerve became white and the fundus lesions increased. At 8d after injection, the RPE layer, photoreceptors and ONL were destroyed obviously. In the process, ERG showed the amplitudes of a- and b-wave decreased in a time-dependent manner. H-E staining showed that cells in retina of mice in control group were neatly arranged and well- distributed. The outer layer retina of sodium iodate injection group was wave-like, the normal structure of RPE disappeared and black round sediment could be seen which increased with time. At 8d after injection, there were any normal RPE.?CONCLUSION: The tail vein injection of sodium iodate can well simulate the pathogenesis of age - related macular degeneration which can provide a good animal model for AMD.

10 ?mol?L -1) increased the binding sites of [ 125I] ?-Bgt significantly (P0.05).Conclusion Chronic treatment of choline, nicotine or methyllycaconitine can upregulate the nicotinic ? 7 receptors at certain doses. The effect of choline on upregulation of ? 7 receptors is different from that of nicotine.

Objective Isoflurane preconditioning has been shown to protect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury.The purpose of this study was to investigate if isoflurane inhalation during reperfusion hasany protective effects.Methods Fourty-two SD rats weighing 318-365 g were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham group(n=6),control group(n=18)and isoflurane group(n=18).Control group and isoflurane groupwere further divided into 10,15 and 20 rain ischernia subgroups(subgroup A,B,C,n=6).In isoflurane group1.4% isoflurane in air was inhaled immediately after reperfusion was started for 30 min.Two days before theexperiment the animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal chloral hydrate 300 mg?kg~(-1).Microdialysis catheterwas inserter into right hippocampns using stereotactic technique and fixed.BIS microelectrodes were placed in thebrain.Vertebral arteries were permanendy occluded by electric coagulation.Bilateral common carotid arteries wereexposed and atranmatic sutures were placed around them.Globol cerebral ischemia was produced by tighteningcarotid sutures and maintained for 10,15 or 20 min(subgroup A,B,C).Cerebral iscbemia was confirmed by lossof righting reflex,dilated pupils,loss of light reflex,BIS=0 and isoelectric potential on EEG.Carotid sutureswere then released for reperfusion.Isoflurane inhalation was started right after the beginning of reperfusion andmaintained for 30 min.Neurologlc outcome was assessed by motor performance according to Combs(0-10,0=severe dysfunction,10=no dysfunction)at 24 h,48 h and 72 h of reperfusion.Microdialysis samples werecollected before during and 0-15,15-30,30-45 and 45-60 min after ischemia for determination of glutamateconcentration.Three days after ischemia the animals were sacrificed and brains were removed for microscopicexamination of hippocampns CA1 region.The number of apoptotic(TUNEL positive)neurons were counted and thepercentage(the number of TUNEL positive neurons/the total number of neurons)was calculated.Results Theglutamate content in hippocampus was significantly lower in isoflurane group than in control group duringreperfusion(P

BACKGROUND: The commonly used culture methods for primary intervertebral disc cells are type Ⅱcol agenase alone digestion method, and type Ⅱ col agenase combined trypin digestion method. However, the acquired cells are few. OBJECTIVE: To acquire nucleus pulposus cells from human degenerative intervertebral disc using a systemic and simplified method. METHODS: Nucleus pulposus cells were isolated and cultured. The morphology of nucleus pulposus cells was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope every day. Primary and subcultured cellsuspension was applied for the determination of cel viability using trypan blue staining. The cel growth was detected with MTT assay. The cel morphology was observed under laser confocal microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Nucleus pulposus cells were successful y isolated from from human degenerative intervertebral disc using the improved method, and cells were subcultured to passage 3. Primary cells were fusiform shaped, while cells at passage 1 and 2 were triangle or polygonal, which were similar to fibroblasts. When cells almost reached the confluence, the cells showed slabstone-like appearance. Trypan blue staining showed that, the primary cel viability was 99%, and passage 3 cells had 93%-95% viability. The proliferation of nucleus pulposus cells gradual y decreased as the generation increased. Compared with passage 1 cells, passage 2 and 3 cells at logarithmic phase trended to be smoother. The cel morphology observed under laser confocal microscopy was similar to the results under phase contrast microscope. The improved simple method can successful y acquire a variety of cells from human degenerative intervertebral disc, and these cells show fine biological properties.

Objective:To analyze the influential factors, trend and equity of preventive care utilization in China from 1991 to 2011. Methods:Using China Health and Nutrition Survey ( CHNS) , logistic regression was applied to explore influential factors, study time trend of preventive care utilization, and examine its equity by Concentration In-dex. Results: Total preventive care services and physical examination utilization significantly increased. Significant inequity still exit in terms of general physical examination and blood text, however, disappeared with respect to blood pressure screening and gynecological examination. Main influential factors of preventive care utilization includes in-come, gender, education and insurance, etc. Conclusion:Preventive care utilization had significantly grown with de-creasing inequalities, but inequity still exit, particularly for general physical examination and blood test.
