1.Repair of sciatic nerve defect with implantation of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor locally secreting mesenchymal stem cells in rabbits
Chinese Journal of Trauma 2010;26(11):1030-1034
Objective To investigate the repairative effect of local high expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in the repair of sciatic nerve defects. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was used as reporter gene. Two groups including gel matrix control group and gel matrix plus MSCs group were set ( 10 rabbits per group). Methods GDNF secreting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) mediated by lentiviral vectors were suspended in Matrigel to produce the artificial graft, and then it was locally implanted to a 20 mm-long sciatic nerve defect in rabbits. Results In the GDNF group,the nerve continuity was restored in seven rabbits and the functional amelioration of the wounded limb was apparent. While there found no restoration of the nerve continuity in the control groups. The migration distance of GDNF secreting MSCs was 20 mm, suggesting a good integration of the transplanted cells with host cells. The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) + green fluorescent protein (GFP) and -100 protein GFP accounted for 60% and 70% respectively in the experimental group, while it was only 40% and 30% in gel matrix plus MSCs group. Conclusions Local implantation of GDNF secreting MSCs can promote the regeneration and functional recovery of the sciatic nerves. GDNF seems to play an important role in inducing transdifferentiation of MSCs to Schwann cell lineage.

Objective To investigate the effects of laparoscopic tube sparing operation in the treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy. Methods Clinical data of 56 cases of tubal pregnancy undergoing laparoscopic conservative treatment were retrospectively reviewed. Results Salpingectomy was required in 8 cases because the electrocoagulation had proven ineffective for the bleeding of operated area, whereas the tube sparing surgery was accomplished successfully in the remaining 48 cases, in 3 of which one treatment course of MTX was administered on account of recurrent episodes. Hysterosalpingography with iodized oil at 1~2 postoperative months in 47 cases receiving conservative surgical treatment revealed that, the involved oviduct was patent in 36 cases, unobstructed but not patent in 8 cases, and obstructed in 3 cases, while the contralateral oviduct (which had been previously resected in 3 cases) was patent in 34 cases, unobstructed but not patent in 7, and obstructed in 3. Conclusions Under proper conditions, laparoscopic tube sparing operation is effective in the treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy.

Objective To study the effects of Xuanbaichengqi decoction on the regulation of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1 β in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and its mechanism.Methods 60 patients with ARDS who had been hospitalized from January 2016 to August 2016 were randonly selected and then assigned to a control group (30 patients) and a study group (30 patients).Both groups received routine therapies and mechanical ventilation,and the study group received additional Xuanbaichengqi decoction.Levels of TNF-o,IL-1β and IL-10,and peak inspiratory pressure (PIP),plateau airway pressure (Pplat),PVC,forced vital capacity (FVC),forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1),and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) were detected before and after treatment.Results Levels of TNF-α and IL-1βwere significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (P < 0.05).IL-10 level was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (P < 0.05).And the improvement in PIP and Pplat was also significant in the study group (P < 0.05).Less adverse reactions occurred in the study group.Conclusions Xuanbaichengqi decoction can improve the indexes for respiratory mechanics and pulmonary function in patients on mechanical ventilation and reduce the inflammatory response,having a significant effect.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of perioperative administration of rhubarb on the acute inflammatory response in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS: In this prospective, single-blinded, controlled clinical trial, thirty-one patients with gastric cancer operatively treated were randomly divided into two groups, with 14 patients in control group and 17 in study group. Patients in both groups were given an isocaloric and isonitrogenous enteral diet. The enteral diet was started 36 hours after operation, and continued for 6 days. Patients in the study group were fed with rhubarb before operation, and at 1 day and 2 days after operation. Indexes of acute inflammatory response such as serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and indexes of nutritional status such as serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA) and transferrin (TRF) were measured before operation, and at 1 day, 3 and 7 days after operation. RESULTS: Patients in both groups had acute inflammatory response, and the indexes of nutritional status decreased after operation.IL-6, CRP and TNF-alpha tested at 3 and 7 days after operation were lower in the study group as compared with those in the control group, and the recovery time of gastrointestinal motility such as borborygmus, gas elimination and defecation was shorter in the study group as compared with that in the control group. The indexes of nutritional status showed no significant differences between two groups after operation. CONCLUSION: Rhubarb can positively modulate the acute inflammatory response, promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal motility, and benefit enteral nutrition support in patients who have undergone major operations for gastric cancer.

Covered in the paper are the policies and progress of the county-level public hospital reform in the province,and a summarized analysis of the self-appraisal reports and hospital reform statements submitted by the health authorities and up to 300 hospitals in 79 counties of the province.As found in the papers,the ongoing reform in Zhejiang is focused on reforming the business models in place,seeking breakthroughs from the zero mark-up policy on drug sales,in addition to such policies as reducing drug costs,adjusting medical service pricing,financial subsidies,and medical insurance payment reforms.Despite the initial success,further policy studies are needed in terms of internal management,upper and lower linkage,and personnel incentives.
