BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells are involved in the skin repair after scald, but the hydrogel made of the excreta by adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells is rarely reported in the treatment of skin scald. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the therapeutic effect of human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium hydrogel in a mouse model of skin scald. METHODS: Adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells were obtained from adipose tissues by enzyme digestion combined with adherent culture method. Morphological and flow cytometry were used to identify phenotype and induce differentiation. Secondly, the stable proliferative phase cells were harvested to obtain the conditioned medium, and chitosan, mannitol, beta-glycerol phosphate sodium and hyaluronic acid were added to prepare the thermosensitive hydrogel. Then the 95 ℃ aluminum block was used to rapidly establish a model of degree III skin scald on the left (experimental group) and right (control group) sides of the back of 24 C57BL/6 mice. In the experimental group, adipose derived stem cell conditioned medium hydrogel was applied twice a day on the right side of the mouse back, and in the control group, fresh medium hydrogel was applied twice a day on the left side of the mouse back. The treatment period lasted for 7 days. Healing time and healing process were observed to calculate the healing rate. Histopathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining at paraffin sections at 4, 14, 28 days after skin scald. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells had fibroblast-like morphology and proliferated vigorously, and the average doubling time was 55 hours. These cells could be induced to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes. High expression of CD29, CD44, CD90 and CD105 were observed on these cells with low expression of CD31 and CD34, which met the standard of mesenchymal stem cells. (2) Thethermosensitive hydrogel prepared by the conditioned medium was cool and transparent viscous liquid at 4-20 ℃, and was changed into semi-solid gel at( 37 ℃ after 15 minutes. (3) The normal structure) subcutaneous fat and muscle tissue (of 95 ℃ aluminum block scalded mice wer) standards of degree III burns. The wound area was roughly 3 cm2. (4) In the repair process, shorter wound healing time, less scar and better dermis structure were observed in the experimental group compared with the control group. (5) Inflammatory infiltration, thickness of granulation tissue, epidermal thickness, fibroblasts and vascular density were significantly improved in the experimental group as compared with the control group (P < 0.05). To conclude, human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells conditioned medium hydrogel can promote the wound healing and promote the quality of regenerated skin after skin scald.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of suberselective uterine arterial embolization for uterine fibroids.Methods Uterine arterial embolization with golyvimylalcohol(PVA) particles or Iodized oil and Gelfoam or Pingyangmycin lipiodol and Gelfoam was performed in 182 patients with uterine fibroids.Results Bilateral and unilateral superselective uterine arterial embolization were performed in 173 cases and 9 cases respectively. 6～28 months (mean 11 months) after the procedure, complete disappearance of tumor(16 cases), an average shinkage of 67% in tumor volume(152 cases) and a mean 42% reduction of uterine volume were obtained in 168 followed-up cases. The clinical symptoms were relieved significantly.The main side effets were hypogastic pain(135/182).Conclusion Superselection uterine arterial embolization is an effective and microinvasive method in treating uterine fibroids.

Objective To control residual DNA by optimizing methodology during the production of rabies vaccine using Vero cells as a vector .Methods The antigen recovery rate was assessed by linked immunosorbent assay-sandwich technique while the residual DNA was detected by DNA probe hybridization method .Antigen recovery and removal of DNA were the main indexes for evaluateing ultrafiltration , the vital part of rabies vaccine production .Three key factors in ultrafiltration were assessed: selection of membrane packages , ultrafiltration pressure and the concentration ratio .Then protamine was used to pretreat ultrafiltrates .Based on the two indicators mentioned above , the effect of protamine pretreat-ment on the ultrafiltrate was evaluated .Results and Conclusion The optimum condition of ultrafiltration was obtained on the basis of the general antigen recovery rate , DNA removal rate and actual production .The primary parameters of ultrafil-tration were as follows:7.5 ×105 ultrafiltration membrane packages, 20 times concentrated, 15 psi ultrafiltration pressure. After pretreatment with protamine , ultrafiltration has proved to be a molecular sieve in intercepting DNA ,while protamine can tangle the fragmented DNA and form a larger molecular segment , which is believed to be more conducive to ultrafiltra-tion interception .

Objective To evaluate the clinical curative effect of applying the modified Xiaojing Decoction, an experienced recipe prescribed by Professor LIU Zhen-Huan, for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)children with liver-kidney yin deficiency by using the Swanson,Nolan,and Pelham,VersionⅣ(SNAP-Ⅳ) rating scale. Methods By the methods of randomized controlled trial, 60 cases of ADHD children were randomly divided into Chinese medicine group and control group,30 cases in each group. Chinese medicine group was treated with Xiaojing Decoction orally, and the control group was given Methylphenidate Tablets orally. After treatment for 4 weeks, the scores of subscales of SNAP-Ⅳ rating scale and clinical remission rate of the two groups were compared. Results(1)After treatment for 4 weeks,the scores of attention-deficit subscale and hyperactivity-impulsivity subscale of the two groups were much improved (P<0.01 compared with those before treatment),and the improvement in Chinese medicine group was superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).(2)Clinical remission rate of Chinese medicine group arrived to 60.0%,and that of the control group was 33.3%,the difference being significant(P < 0.05). Conclusion The modified Xiaojing Decoction,an experienced recipe prescribed by Professor LIU Zhen-Huan,exerts certain therapeutic effect for the treatment of ADHD children with liver-kidney yin deficiency.

Objective To examine the suscepribility of the single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in IL-1 gene in Chinese Han population to ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods An correlation analysis was performed in a case-control cohort of 162 AS cases, 58 patients with other autoimmune diseases and 162 controls. Four SNPs located in the IL-1 gene (rs16944, rs3811058, rs419598, rs315952) were examined by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). Results The frequencies of allele C at position rs16944, rs3811058, rs419598 significantly increased in AS cases VS controls, so did their genotype frequencies (50% vs 36.3%, 57.9% vs 52.8%, 45.7% vs 12.3%, P＜0.05). The SNPs of these sites significantly influenced the prevalence of AS. Conclusion We discover that SNPs of IL-1 gene Rs16944, Rs419598, Rs3811058 is closely related to the occurrence of AS.

Objective To explore the relationship between DNA repair gene XRCC1 and XPD polymorphisms and individual susceptibility to prostate cancer. Methods PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay was used to analyze the XRCC1 (C26304T and G28152A) and XPD A35931C polymorphisms in 358 prostate cancer patients and 312 healthy controls. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate odd ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CD for estimating the correlation between different genotypes and prostate cancer risks. Results Forty-seven(13.1%) cases present XRCC1 28152AA genotype in prostate cancer group, while 24 cases in the control group (7. 1%), individuals with this genotype had a significantly increased risk for prostate cancer (OR 1. 924, 95%CI=1.126 - 3. 288, P=0. 017). There was no significant difference between two groups at XRCC1 C26304T and XPD A35931C sites. Combined analysis of the three sites polymorphisms showed that individuals with XRCC1 28152 AA and XPD 35931AC+CC genotype had a higher risk of prostate cancer than those with three wild genotypes (OR = 3. 087,95%CI 1. 081 - 8.813;OR = 3. 376,95%CI 1.067-10.683;OR 3. 216,95%CI=1. 439-7.188,P = 0. 004). Analysis stratified by age of onset, PSA, Gleason score and T stage revealed that XRCC1 28152AA and XPD 35931 AC+CC high-risk genotype was especially associated with early age at onset of prostate cancer (P<0. 05). Conclusions The XRCC1 and XPD genotypes may be contributed to the risk of developing prostate cancer, particularly for younger patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of therapeutic patient education on improving life quality of children with atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods A total of 109 children with AD were enrolled, including 53 patients in the intervention group and 56 patients in the control group. The intervention group was given therapeutic patient education in addition to routine treatment, while the control group was given routine treatment without therapeutic patient education. After three months two groups were compared with the disease severity and quality of life in children and their families. Results Compared with control group, the intervention group had significant improvements in severity of AD (P?=?0.003) and also significant improvements in quality of life (IDQOL and CDLQI) (P?=?0.004). The family life quality (DFI) of the two groups were both improved, but the difference was not signiifcant (P?=?0.492). Conclusions Therapeutic patient education can improve symptoms of atopic dermatitis, and the quality of life of children as well.
