BACKGROUND: Effective proliferation in vitro of neural stem cells and directional induction and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons play a key role in neural stem cell transplantation for treatment of degeneration of the nervous system and repair of injured nervous system. OBJECTIVE: To explore the differentiation of neural stem cells from anterior subventricular zone into dopaminergic neurons in astrocyte-conditioned medium. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The in vitro controlled cytology experiment was performed at the Experimental Center of Xinqiao Hospital of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from December 2006 to August 2007. MATERIALS: A total of 15 neonatal KM mice aged 2 days and 40 pregnant 16 days Wistar rats were provided by the Experiment Animal Center of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. METHODS: Astrocytcs of KM mice were isolated and purified by a standard shaking method and differential adhesion. Astrocyte-conditioned medium was collected when astrocytcs at passage 3 were cultured for 5 days maintained at –20 ℃ for use. Neural stem cells from the anterior subventricular zone of Wistar rats were isolated and cultured in serum-free DMEM/F12, supplemented with B27 and basic fibroblast growth factor for primary culture. Neural stem cells at passage 3 were collected and incubated at 0.5?108/L. Cells in the control group were incubated in the DMEM/F12 medium containing fetal bovine serum of 0.1 volume fraction. Cells in the experimental group were incubated in the astrocyte-conditioned medium. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Neural stem cells in the anterior subventricular zone were determined by the immunocytochemical technique. Positive rate of the neural stem cell differentiation into dopaminergic neurons in the anterior subventricular zone was detected by the flow cytometry. RESULTS: Cells in neurospheres expressed nestin and differentiated into neuro-specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Tyroxine hydroxylase positive cells were found in the experimental group, showing round or ellipse. Tyroxine hydroxylase was seen in cytoplasm and cluster-shape processes. Tyroxine hydroxylase positive cells in control group were different from that in the experimental group in amount and appearance. Positive cell rate of tyroxine hydroxylase was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t =35.296, P

Refractory ulcer is a commonly seen disease clinically. We believe the therapeutic strategies for refractory ulcer should include changing life style, standardizing medication, tracing observation, and rechecking in regularity. Traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine can be used for the treatment. When the therapeutic effect is not good, diagnosis and therapeutic methods need to be re-judged.Local therapy and operation can be performed if necessary.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of chinese traditional treatment after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for patients with chronic sinusitis. METHOD: Eighty-eight cases of patients with chronic sinusitis were randomly divided into control group and treatment group after FESS and followed for 3 months. The control group received routine treatment. The treatment group received Chinese traditional treatment on the basis of routine treatment. VAS scores, Lund-Kennedy scores and Lund-Mackay scores were employed to conduct the subjective and objective assessment, comprehensively evaluate the clinical efficacy before and after treatment. RESULT: (1) After 3 months of treatment, the two groups of VAS scores and Lund-Mackay scores were significantly improved before treatment (P<0. 05). (2)After 3 months of treatment, the effectiveness of the control group was 81. 8%, treatment group was 97. 7%, the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). CONCLUSION Chinese traditional treatment after FESS can reduce postoperative mucosal edema and promote the postoperative recovery of sinus mucosal inflammation, is effective in preventing the recurrence of postoperative.
