Recently,the progress in employing transplanting stem cells to cure injured retina is very fast and has been continuously yielding exciting results.Various sources are used in the studies,including retina-derived cells such as M?ller cells and ciliary body cells,and non-retina-derived cells such as embryonic stem cells and brain-derived stem cells.This review briefly discusses the recent progress of these studies.

Objective To study the changes of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) in pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat (PQ) with immunohistochemistry method. MethodsA total of 58 C57BL/6J male mice were randomly (random number) divided into the experimental group and control group. Pulmonary fibrosis was induced by intra-peritoneal injection of PQ in dose of 10 mg/kg into the mice of experimental group (n = 48), while physiological saline was used instead in mice of control group (n = 10). The mice of experimental group were sacrificed 2, 5, 7 and 14 days after PQ poisoning and the mice of control group were sacrificed on the 7th day after saline administration. Lungs of mice were taken and histological changes in lungs were evaluated by haematoxylin-eosin stain, and TGF-β1 was determined with immunohistochemistry method. The integrated optical density (iOD) value of TGF-β1 was measured and analyzed. ResultsThe TGF-β1 was markedly increased in macrophages during the genesis of pulmonary fibrosis induced by PQ. As the course of fibrosis progressed, the positive staining of TGF-B1 was mainly seen in macrophages and neutrophil's cytoplasm. On the 14th day after PQ poisoning, TGF-β1-positive cells were also detected in the fibroblast and myo-fibroblast inside the fibroblastic foci. Compared with the control group, the iOD value of TGF-β1 increased in experimental group (P ＜ 0. 01 ) and it gradually upgraded during the course of fibrosis. Conclusions The TGF-β1 significantly increased during the course of pulmonary fibrosis induced by PQ and played an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

A comparative study on the glycolic acid oxidase (GO) of the domestic Spirulina(Arthrospira) platensis (S_(1)) from alkaline lake in Erdos Plateau and the imported S. (A.) platensis (S_(2)) and S. (A.) maxima (S_(3)) as well is made with colorimetric method. The results show that activity of GO (25℃, pH 8.0) of S_(1), S_(2 )and S_(3) is 70.9 U/gFW, 59.6 U/gFW and 80.9 U/gFW respectively; the GO's optimum temperature of S_(1)、S_(2) and S_(3 )is 30℃; the GO's optimum pH value of S_(1 )is 8.6,while that of S_(2 ) 8.2 and that of S_(3) 8.4; the GO of S_(1 )is stable from 0℃ to 35℃ and from pH 7.6 to pH 10.0, while that of S_(2) from 0℃ to 30℃ and from pH 8.0 to pH 9.0 and that of S_(3) from 0℃ to 35℃ and from pH 8.0 to pH 8.6. Adaptive range of S_(1) GO for temperature and pH is wider, and activity at low and high temperature and under strong acidand alkali conditions is higher than that of the imported species.

Objective To find out the consumption situation of iodized salt in Baotou, identify problems and take appropriate intervention measures, and to provide scientific basis for further consolidating the results of control measures, strengthening and improving the sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders. Methods Three batches of each quarter, 54 salt samples were sampled in Donghe wholesale division and Qingkun wholesale division in Baotou city salt company during 2008 - 2010; each place of Damaoqi, Baiyun district, and Qingshan district were divided into five sampling areas according to the direction of east, west, south, north, and central position, one school was selected in each district, 30 students aged 8 to 10 from each school were selected, and home salt samples were taken, and salt iodine was tested by direct titration(GB/T 13025.7-1999). Results Qualified rate of wholesale iodized salt was 100%(378/378) during 2008 - 2010, and mean salt iodine was 30.4 mg/kg;qualified rate of household iodized salt was 99.8%(2417/2421 ), and mean salt iodine was 30.4 mg/kg; iodized salt coverage rate was 99.6% (2421/2430) and consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 99.4% (2417/2430).Conclusions Qualified rate of iodized salt, coverage rate of qualified iodized salt and consumption rate of qualified iodized salt are 90% or more, which has reached the standard of sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders.

Objective To compare the results of surgical treatment of cardiac carcinoma through left thoracic approach and abdominal approach.Methods After finished cardiac carcinoma resection and gastroesophagus anastomosis in thorax through left thoracic approach,standard D2 regional lymph nodes dissection or/and combined pancreas and spleen resection were performed immediately through abdominal approach in 19 patients.Two surgical specimens were examined individually.Results 122 lymph nodes were founded in the abdominal surgical specimens,in which 23 were metastasis lymph nodes founded in 7 patients (7/19,37 %).Conclusion Left thoracotomy alone can no achieve complete resection for advanced gastric cardiac carcinoma.It should be treated through the combined abdominal and thoracic approach.

Aim To study the changes of the biological behavior of dermal fibroblasts in Ⅲ skin burns wound in rats using chitosan.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups as follows:1% chitosan(W/V)group,2% chitosan(W/V)group,4% chitosan(W/V)group,bFGF(basic fibroblast growth factor) group and the control group.Rats were made for Ⅲ skin burns.The wound healing time was recorded,and the wound healing rate was calculated.Then the cell cycle and apoptotic dermal fibroblasts were determined and the amount of Hydroxyproline(HOP) in the skin tissue was analyzed.Results The wound healing rate of 4% chitosan(W/V) group was higher and the wound healing time of 4% chitosan(W/V) group was shorter than that of the control group.On the 7th,14th day post-injury,the content of protein of 4% chitosan(W/V) group was higher than that of the control group.The content of HOP of 2% and 4% chitosan(W/V) group was highest on the 7th day post-injury. Compared with that in control group,the percentage of cells of S stage in 4% chitosan(W/V) group was aboundant,and was reduced in apoptotic dermal fibroblasts.Conclusion The changes of cellular biological behaviors might be one of the mechanisms of that Chitosan could promote the wound healing of Ⅲ skin burns in rats significantly.

Objective To explore the exposure condition of DDR, screen -film radiography and the radiation dose to patients, and evaluate value of the DDR system. Methods Five thousand images of DDR and screen-film radiography were selected and then analyzed by three junior radiologists and two senior radiologists. Results 1.The quality of the images was classified into grades A ,B ,C: grade A in 92.8 % , grade B in 7.2 % , grade C in 0% ,waste in 0 % for DDR group and grade A in 40.8% , grade B in 41.7 %,grade C in 15.5 % ,waste in 2% for screen-film radiography group. 2. The required voltage of DDR system raises 3-24kV than screen-film radiography and radiation exposure was increased about 25 % . Conclusions The imaging quality of DDR was obviously higher than the screen -film radiography, but the disadvantage of DDR system was the higher exposure condition required, which increase X-ray radiation dose for patients.

Objective To explore the relation between the level of oxygen pressure and lactate in arterial blood and prognosis of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods 36 patients with sudden cardiac arrest received CPR were selected.Patients were divided into 3 groups.The 21 patients who 30 minutes of CPR didn't regain heart beats were group A,those 10 who kept blood circulation for over 2 hours but finally died were group B,and the remaining 5 who survived were group C.Control group was made up of 20 people with no disease.In CPR immediately (0h),1h,3h,6h,12h were measured in blood specimens from arterial partial pressure of oxygen and lactate levels were compared among groups of patients dynamic changes of the index.Results The 3 groups A,B,C significantly reduced blood oxygen pressure,blood lactate increased significantly the CPR in the early,and compared with the control group there was significant difference( P ＜ 0.01 ).The group B CPR 3h,6h,and continue until no significant changes in 12h;The group C CPR 3h,6h began to increase blood oxygen pressure and blood lactate levels begin to decline,blood oxygen pressure increased significantly,lower blood lactate to a lower level after 12h.Taken with marked changes in B group,the difference was significant ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Arterial partial pressure of oxygen and blood lactate levels could be used as indicators of prognosis of patients with CPR.Sustained increase in arterial oxygen partial pressure showed a good prognosis,lactate levels continued to rise that a poor prognosis.
