Objective To study the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) expression and secretion of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) of rabbit transfected with pcDNA3-VEGF165 expression plasmid in order to construct a kind of tissue engineering artificial skull with more blood supply.Methods By gene reconstruction method,the VEGF165 gene was cloned into eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3 and recombined eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3-VEGF165 was constructed;By lipofectamine transfection method,pcDNA3-VEGF165 expression plasmid was transfected into MSCs of rabbit;By RT-PCR and Western blotting methods,the VEGF mRNA expression and VEGF protein secretion in the MSCs were detected.Results Recombined eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3-VEGF165 was confirmed to be true by double enzyme digestion,two strips came to appear in 5400 bp and 600 bp of gelose electrophoresis and their sizes accorded with pcDNA3 plasmid and VEGF165 accordingly;Primarily cultured and subcultured MSCs of rabbit were successfully performed and the MSCs storehouse of rabbit was established,primary MSCs presented lymphoid form at first and then the morphology of them became circulara,polygonal or irregular forms,they were more and more like fibroblastic cells after subcultured cultivation.The expressions of VEGF mRNA and VEGF protein in the MSCs were found after transiently transfection by RT-PCR and Western blotting methods.Conclusion Recombined eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3VEGF165 can be transfected into MSCs of rabbit effectively by lipofectamine and the VEGF expression can be detected in the MSCs after transfection.

A total of 183 patients of ectopic pregnancy due to tubal factors were divided into the methotrexate (MTX),conservative surgery and salpingectomy groups.The dose of gonadotropin,counts of harvested oocytes and high-quality embryos and pregnancy rate were compared among three groups to analyze the differences of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).And the above parameters showed no significant differences (P >0.05 ).The clinical pregnancy rate of the conservative group was higher than the other two groups.And the difference was statistically significant compared with salpingectomy ( P < 0.05 ).It suggested that the treatments of ectopic pregnancy had some effects on the outcome of IVF-ET.The pregnancy rate was slightly higher in the conservative surgery group.

Objective To investigate the correlation between plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) band leukoaraiosis (LA) in patients with acute stroke.Methods The clinical and imaging data of patients with acute stroke were analyzed retrospectively.The numbers of CMBs were counted and the severity of LA was graded according to the results of MRI.Fasting venous samples were obtained and the plasma Hey concentration was measured the next day after admission.Results A total of 139 patients with acute stroke were enrolled,67 of them were females and 72 were males (mean age 70.1 ± 10.2 years); 24 had hemorrhagic stroke and 115 had ischemic stroke.The age (76.23 ± 8.74 years vs.64.58 ± 7.42 years;t =4.621,P =0.012) hypertension ratio (89.13% vs.67.74% ;x2 =8.324,P =0.0 370) and plasma Hey level (14.53 ± 4.31 mmol/L vs.11.31 ±3.16 mmol/L;t =6.538,P=0.008| in a severe LA group (n=46) were significantly higher than those in a non-severe LA group (n =93).Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was significant correlation between the plasma Hcy level and the severity of LA (rs =0.365,P =0.002).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the increased Hey level (odds ratio [ OR ],1.366,95%confidence interval [ CI] 1.141 - 1.526; P =0.010) and age (OR 1.093,95% CI 1.031 - 1.162; P =0.016)were the independent risk factors for severe LA.The age (74.37 ± 6.35 years vs.67.56 ± 8.52 years; t =6.628,P =0.038) and hypertension ratio (94.74% vs.62.20%;x2 =8.773,P =0.002) in a CBM group were significantly higher than those in a non-CMB group (n =82).Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between the plasma Hcy level and the numbers of CBMs (rs =0.038,P =0.813).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension was an independent risk factor for CBMs.Conclusions The elevated plasma Hcy level was associated with LA,but it was not associated with CBMs.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion for dysmenorrhea due to deficiency cold. Methods: A total of 70 patients with dysmenorrhea who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into a mild moxibustion group and a herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group by the random number table, with 35 cases in each group. Shenque (CV 8), Zhongji (CV 3) and bilateral Zigong (EX-CA 1) were selected for both groups. The treatment continued for 3 menstrual cycles. The visual analog scale (VAS) and COX menstrual symptom scale (CMSS) were scored in both groups before treatment, after treatment and at the end of the 3rd menstrual cycle after treatment. The clinical efficacy was evaluated at the end of the 3rd menstrual cycle after treatment. Results: After treatment, the clinical efficacy of the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group had the tendency to be superior to that of the mild moxibustion group, while there was no statistically significant difference in the overall efficacy between the two groups (P>0.05). The VAS and CMSS scores after treatment and at the follow-up were significantly lower than those before treatment in both groups (all P<0.05). At the follow-up, the VAS scores in both groups had no significant intra-group differences from those after treatment (both P>0.05). The CMSS scores in both groups were significantly lower than those after treatment (both P<0.05). The VAS scores at the follow-up of both groups had no statistical differences from those after treatment (both P>0.05). After treatment, the CMSS score in the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group was significantly lower than that in the mild moxibustion group (P<0.05). At the follow-up, there were no statistical differences in the CMSS score between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion has the same therapeutic efficacy for dysmenorrhea as the mild moxibustion; the two moxibustion methods can significantly improve the concomitant symptoms of dysmenorrhea, and the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion is little better.
