Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, educational level, whether suffered adverse reactions during the first-time donation, doses of donation, ethnicity and occupations all affected the returning of plateletpheresis donors. 【Conclusion】 Plateletpheresis donors with younger age, lower education level, unemployed status, ethnic minorities, no adverse reactions occurring during the first-time donation, and donation history of two doses are more likely to return to donate.

Objective To isolate,cultivate and identify the human embryonic fibroblasts(hEFs) derived from the gonadal ridges and dorsal mesenteries of human embryos,and to detect the expression by hEFs of cytokines crucial for the growth of human embryonic germ cells(hEG) in vitro.Methods The hEFs were isolated by enzyme digestion from gonadal ridges and dorsal mesenteries of 5-to 9-week old human embryos.The cells were then cultivated.The biologic characteristics(morphology,growth characteristics and cell cycle) of these cells were also studied.The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to seek the expressions of a specific fibroblast marker,prolyl 4-hydroxylase ?,and a specific marker of epithelial cells,cytokeratin-4,in the cells.The expressions of cytokines essential for the growth of hEG,namely basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) and leukemia inhibitory factor(LIF),were also examined by RT-PCR.Results The hEFs were successfully isolated and cultivated from gonadal ridges and dorsal mesenteries of human embryos.They could be passaged beyond the 25th generation.The biologic characteristics of the cells did not change,even in high-passage cells or frozen-thawed cells.The cells expressed prolyl 4-hydroxylase ?, but not cytokeratin-4,which was similar to the fibroblasts.The cultured cells expressed bFGF and LIF.Conclusion The hEFs derived from gonadal ridges and dorsal mesenteries of human embryos are successfully isolated and cultivated,and the cells express the cytokines essential for the growth of hEG in vitro.

Objective To explore the correlation between BCL2 binding component 3 (BBC3) expression and postoperative survival time of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC),and investigate its molecular mechanism.Methods The expression of BBC3 in 39 patients was detected by using qRT-PCR assay.Meanwhile,clinical data of all patients were collected by follow-up visit.Then,the survival analysis was performed by using Kaplan-Meier and log rank tests.Moreover,multiple factors analysis was performed using COX proportional hazard model.At last,BBC3 was over-expressed in NCI-H226 cell lines,then detected the effects of BBC3 expression on cell proliferation and apoptosis by using MTT assay and flow cytometry.Results BBC3 expression were significantly correlated with the tumor metastasis (r=0.556,P=0.023),tumor size (r=0.532,P =0.042),T staging (r =0.551,P=0.021) and TNM staging (r=0.524,P=0.047).Meanwhile,the results of Kaplan-Meier and log rank tests found that BBC3 expression was significantly correlated with survival time of patients with LUSC,and the length of survival time in patients with high BBC3 expression was longer than that in patients with low BBC3 expression (x2 =7.542,P=0.006).The COX proportional hazard model indicated that tumor metastasis,T staging,TNM staging and BBC3 expression were independent factors which significantly affected survival time.Moreover,the proportion of apoptotic cells in the recombinant plasmid BBCs group was higher than that in the empty plasmid group and control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion BBC3 expression could suppress the proliferation of tumor cells and promote apoptosis,and are significantly correlated with survival time of patients,so which may be assistant biomarkers for prognosis of LUSC.

Objective To explore induced eruption techniques of the impacted maxillary canine with labial medial inclination. Methods A total of 38 cases with upper impacted canines with labial medial inclination were selected. The impacted canine was connected to the buccal hook of the upper first molar band, moved distantly and uprightly and then drawn to the dental arch after the pressure to the adjacent teeth was removed. Results After average 18 months treatment, 38 patients had good functions. The deeper impacted canines in 5 patients were extracted, and then the dental arch spaces closed. The lateral incisors of root resorption in 4 patients were extracted. The premolars in 19 patients were removed, and 10 patients without extractions. Then the impacted canines were moved into dental arch. There was no aggravated root resorption during the treatment process. Conclusion When the maxillary canine with labial medial inclination is impacted, it is moved distantly and uprightly by elastic line connected to the buccal hook of the maxillary first molar band, and then drawn to the dental arch. The process is smoothly and the neighbor teeth are protected.

Objective To investigate the effect of remifentanil and fentanyl on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor currents in rat spinal cord dorsal horn neurons.Methods Whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to record the NMDA receptor currents.The primary cultured E14SD rat spinal cord dorsal horn neurons (DH cells) were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each):remifentanil group (group R),fentanyl group (group F) and control group (group C).DH cells were perfused with 4 nmol/L remifentanil (group R) or 10 μmol/L fentanyl (group F) for 60 min followed by washout.NMDA receptor currents were recorded immediately after administration (T0),at 15,30,45 and 60 min of action of drugs (T1-4),and at 15 and 30 min (T5-6) after washout.Results Compared with group C,no significant change in the peak NMDA receptor current was found at each time point in group F and at T0 and T1 in group R (P ＞ 0.05),and the peak NMDA receptor current was significantly increased at T2-6 in group R (P ＜ 0.01).The peak NMDA receptor current was significantly higher at T2-6 than at T0,while lower at T2-4 and T6 than at T5 in group R (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Remifentanil can increase NMDA receptor function in rat spinal cord horn neurons,and the peak effect is reached after washout,but fentanyl dose not have the effect.

Objective 5-azacytidine could induce the diffcrentiation of stem cells into cardiomyocytes (CMs). The aim of this study was to screen the optimal condition for 5-azacytidine inducing differentiation of human mesenchumal stem cells (hMSCs) into CMs, and the effect of 5-azacytidine on adherence, cell vigor and chromosome karyotype ofhMSCs. Methods hMSCs were isolated from human bone marrow and cultured in vitro. The phenotypes ofhMSCs were identified by flow cytometric analyses. MTT test was used to investigate the effect of different concentrations of 5-azacytidine on proliferation ofhMSCs. Four weeks after 5-azacytidine induction, semi-quantitative RT-PCR, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), single-cell action potentials, detection ofcardio-cnzyme AST and LDH, cell adherence, cell viability and chromosome karyotype test were performed. Results The typical morphological features of hMSCs were fibroblast-like in shape, hMSCs expressed CD44 and CD105,and did not express CD34, CD45 and CD31. The optimal concentration of 5-azacytidine was 10μmol/L. The shape ofhMSCs treated with 5-Azacytidine changed from fusiform to polygon or astrocyte gradually, and passaged cells were evenly arranged as polarity structure. Induced-hMSCs connected with neighbouring cells, forming myotube-like structures 4 weeks later. It was confirmed that induced hMSCs shaped myotubule-like structure and had some of micro-histologic structures of CMs by TEM. RT-PCR showed that induced hMSCs expressed cardiac specific product BNNP and early cardio-myogenesis specific transcription factor NKX2.5mRNA. Besides, induced-MSCs led to the weak action potential and secreted cardio-enzyme AST and LDH. There was no significant difference in cell adherence and viability before and after induction. Both hMSCs and induced-hNSCs kept stable normal diploid nucleus. Conclusion The optimal condition for inducing effect of 5-azacytidine is 10 μ mol/L and 24-hour incubation; and under this condition, the adherence, vigor and chromosome karyotype ofhMSCs would not be affected.

Purpose Glioblastoma and metastasis are the common and aggressive type of brain tumors in adults,and a definitive diagnosis has an important guiding significance to the clinical practice.Our purpose is to investigate the value of post contrast-enhanced T1WI-based histogram analysis in the differential diagnosis of glioblastoma and solitary brain metastasis.Materials and Methods Sixty-eight consecutive patients with glioblastoma or solitary metastasis confirmed pathologically or surgically at Meizhou People's Hospital between January 2012 and November 2015 were included in the study.Glioblastoma was diagnosed in 34 patients and solitary brain metastasis was diagnosed in the rest 34 patients.All patients had undergone routine brain MR examination before surgical resection and the imaging data were retrospectively analyzed.The ROIs were manually placed in enhanced solid parts of the tumors on the maximal cross-sectional post contrasted-enhanced T1WI by Image J.Then the mean,standard deviation (SD),minimum,maximum,skewness and kurtosis were calculated respectively.Results Kurtosis of post contrast-enhanced T1WI of metastasis (1.260 ± 1.271) was statistically higher than that of glioblastoma (0.071 ± 0.667)(P＜0.05).When the optimal threshold criterion ofkurtosis was set at 0.736,the areas under ROC curve of kurtosis was 0.792 (95％ CI:0.676-0.881),and the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value at the optimum cutoff value were 76.47％,88.24％,80.65％,78.38％,respectively.Conclusion Kurtosis of post contrastenhanced T 1 WI-based histogram is valuable in differential diagnosis of glioblastoma and brain metastasis,and thus provides reliable and objective basis for differentiating the two kinds of tumors.
