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.

Objective To analyze the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)combined with early enteral nutrition(EN)for treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP). Methods 70 SAP patients were randomly divided into TCM plus EN group(36 cases)and conventional therapy group(34 cases). Both groups received routine treatment. Additionally,TCM+EN group received early EN and TCM decoction treatment〔the ingredients of decoction including radix bupleuri,radix paeoniae alba,radix scutellariae,fructus aurantii immaturus, magnolia bark,raw rhubarb(rhubarb was added at last during cooking the decoction)and natrii sulfas exsiccatus (dissolved in water to be administered)each 10 g,the decoction was concentrated to 150 mL and then administered via a stomach tube to the patient,afterwards the tube was clipped for 2.5-3 hours,twice a day,4-7 days constituting a therapeutic course〕. After treatment,the time for patients' symptoms improvement,the situation of intestinal recovery, the length of stay in hospital,the total medical cost,serum C-reactive protein(CRP),aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), amylase (AMY), acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score and complications,intensive care unit(ICU)transfer rate and case fatality rate in two groups were observed. Results The time for symptoms improvement of abdominal tenderness(day:1.68±1.01 vs. 3.89±1.07), abdominal distension(day:2.17±1.48 vs. 4.24±3.23),abdominal pain(day:3.12±1.14 vs. 4.94±3.21)and the intestinal recovery of exhaust defecation time(day:3.48±0.92 vs. 5.32±3.30)of SAP patients after treatment in the TCM+EN group were faster significantly than those in the conventional therapy group(all P<0.05). The length of stay in hospital(day:15.50±1.75 vs. 19.35±1.69)and total cost(wan yuan:1.812±0.424 vs. 3.292±1.081) of TCM+EN group were less than those of conventional therapy group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treatment,the levels of serum CRP,AST,LDH,AMY,APACHEⅡscore in TCM+EN group and conventional therapy group were all lower than those before treatment,and on day 10,the degree of descent was more prominent in TCM+EN group〔CRP(mg/L):98.972±43.384 vs. 122.392±71.621,AST(U/L):75.952±55.668 vs. 126.391±47.431, LDH (μmol?s-1?L-1):1.48±0.21 vs. 2.61±1.46,AMY(U/L):146.362±58.792 vs. 226.392±37.692,APACHE Ⅱscores:6.978±3.352 vs. 13.652±7.621,P<0.05 or P<0.01〕. There was no death in TCM+EN group,while in the conventional therapy group,there was 1 case dead. ICU transfer rate in TCM+EN group was less than that in the conventional therapy group(2.78% vs. 11.76%),but there was no statistical significant difference between the two groups(χ2=0.99,P>0.05). Among the 70 patients with SAP,the cause of the disease due to gallstone accounted for 55.72%,hyperlipidemia for 37.14%,alcoholic for 4.28%and other 2.86%. Conclusion The use of TCM combined with early EN for treatment of patients with SAP can enhance the curative effect of SAP,reduce the hospitalization time and the total cost of patients,and decrease complications and mortality,that is conducive to the faster recovery of patients.

Objective:To construct a novel biomimetic calcium phosphate (BioCaP) scaffold loaded with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2),and to investigate its role in the osteogenesis of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) in vitro and in vivo.Methods:The BioCaP scaffold coprecipitated with BMP-2 (BMP-2-BioCaP) was constructed in this study.Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the morphology of the surfaces.The release kinetics was measured to evaluate the slow-release characteristics in vitro.BMP-2-BioCaP was immersed in proliferation medium (PM) or osteogenic medium (OM),respectively.The supernatants were collected and used to culture hASCs in vitro.Cell numbers were determined using the cell-counting kit-8 (CCK-8) to assess the cell proliferation.After 7 and 14 days,alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and quantification were performed to test the activity of ALP.After 14 and 21 days,the calcification deposition was determined by alizarin red S (ARS) staining and quantification.The expressions of the osteoblast-related genes were tested on day 4 and day 14.In the in vivo study,6 nude mice were used and implanted subcutaneously into the back of the nude mice for 4 groups:(1) BioCaP scaffold only,(2) BioCaP scaffold + hASCs,(3) BMP-2-BioCaP scaffold,(4) BMP-2-BioCaP scaffold + hASCs (test group).After 4 weeks of implantation,hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to evaluate the in vivo osteogenesis of hASCs.Results:SEM observations showed that BioCaP and BMP-2-BioCaP scaffold were entirely composed of straight,plate-like and sharp-edged crystal units,and the length of the crystal units varied between 5 and 10 μm.Release kinetics analysis demonstrated that BMP-2 incorporated with BioCaP could be released at certain concentration and last for more than 21 days,and the accumulative protein release could reach 20％.CCK-8 assays showed that cell proliferation was not significantly affected by BMP-2BioCaP.ALP activity was higher by the induction of OM + BMP-2-BioCaP than of the other groups (P ＜0.01).More mineralization deposition and more expressions of osteoblast-related genes such as Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2),ALP,osteopontin (OPN) and osteocalcin (OC) were determined in the OM + BMP-2-BioCaP group at different time points (P ＜0.01).HE staining showed that,in the test group and BMP-2-BioCaP scaffold group,the extracellular matrix (ECM) with eosinophilic staining were observed around hASCs,and newly-formed bone-like tissues could be found in ECM around the scaffold materials.Moreover,compared with the BMP-2-BioCaP scaffold group,more bone-like tissues could be observed in ECM with typical structure of bone tissue in the test groups.No obvious positive results were found in the other groups.Conclusion:BMP-2-BioCaP scaffold could achieve slow-release of BMP-2 and promote the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs in vitro and in vivo.The novel tissue-engineered bone composed of hASCs and BMP-2-BioCaPis promising for the repair of bone defect.

Objective To discuss the effect of atorvastatin to prevent the arterial restenosis after intracavitary therapy of patients with lower atherosclerotic occlusive (LASO).Methods One hundred and ten patients with LASO were randomly divided into the control group (n =55) and research group (n =55).All patients were given intraeavitary therapy (including balloon dilation, stent implantation and endarterectomy, stentimplantation and thromboetomy).The patients of the control group were given conventional anticoagulant therapy while the observation group were given atorvastatin 20 mg/d based same treatment of the control group for 6 months.The blood lipid, C-reactive protein (CRP), intima-media thickness (IMT) and the patency rate of lower limb artery of two group were observed and recorded before treatment and at 1 day,1 month,3 months and 6 months after treatment.Results The total cholesterol (preoperation, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation were (4.90± 1.02) mmol/L, (4.07 ± 0.76) mmol/L, (3.82 ± 0.53) mmol/L and (3.64 ± 0.35) mmol/L respectively), CRP (preoperation, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation were (31.60 ± 13.32) mg/L, (19.24±9.45) mg/L, (9.84 ± 6.43) mg/L and (6.34 ± 3.82) mg/L respectively) and IMT (preoperation, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation were (1.08±0.25) mm, (1.02±0.27) mm, (0.92±0.22) mm and (0.81±0.16) mm respectively) of research group showed a downward trend,while the control group had no significant change, there were statistically significant differences among the research group (P＜0.05).Total cholesterol, IMT and CRP were significantly different among the patients of the research group at different time points (P ＜ 0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in different times of patient(P＞0.05).There were no statistical significant about the patency rate at 1 day, 1 month,and 3 months after treatment between the two groups(P＞0.05),while the patency rate of research group at 6 months after treatment was obviously higher than that of control group (94.5％ (52/55) vs.74.5％ (41/55);x2 =7.637, P ＜0.05).Conclusion Atorvastatin can effectively reduce the blood lipid and CRP of patients with lower atherosclerotic occlusive and increase the patency rate,it is worth popularization and application.

Objective To analyze the consistency of individual examination diagnosis with terminologies expressed in the conclusion report of physical examinations by the chief inspection physician. Methods Based on the clinical classifications used in the Guidelines on Prevention and Treatment of Blood Lipid Abnormality for Chinese Adults, and related terminology descriptions of Dyslipidemias that were actually used in four-item blood lipid examinations diagnosis, a lexicon database of Hyperlipidemias was constructed with 39 terms used in the four-item blood lipid examination diagnosis and chief physician conclusions. Totally 11953 electronic chief physician inspection reports from 8 health check-up institutions were included. We investigated the terms of lexicon database using word frequency analysis method, calculated the positive rate in the diagnosis of four single examinations of serum lipid and the positive rate in the chief physician's conclusion. Consistency of chief physician's conclusion with single examination diagnosis was analyzed by Kappa test. Results (1) Among the 39 terms of lexicon database, there are 18 nonstandard terms used in single examination diagnosis, accounted for 46％ of all terms; (2) In word frequency analysis, there are only 1％ of terms that corresponded to clinical classifications of Hyperlipidemias accurately;(3) The positive rate of Hyperlipidemias in serum lipid four single examinations diagnosis was 47％, the positive rate of physician diagnosis was 35％. The consistency analysis of chief physician conclusions with single examination diagnosis showed Kappa=0.71(P<0.01). Conclusions Although the final conclusion written by the chief physician was not using standard terms strictly, most of synonymous terminology expressed in the physician conclusion is normative, which enabled the construction of lexicon database and text mining. Whether the single examination diagnosis are consistent with physician conclusions can be an evaluation indicator to assess the quality of chief physician conclusions for physical examinations. Kappa>0.75 may be suggested as a favorable value.
