AIM:Repair of trachea is disturbing the surgeon. Tissue engineering technology will probably resolve this problem. Seed cell is one of the key factors in engineered tracheal cartilage construction. This study investigated the feasibility of constructing tissue-engineered cartilage from porcine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) cultured and induced in vitro using tissue engineering technique. METHODS:The experiment was performed in the Central Laboratory of Peking Union Medical College Hospital between October 2006 and May 2007. ①By density gradient centrifugation,the MSCs were isolated and purified from porcine bone marrow. The MSCs had been cultured and induced in the defined medium mainly including transforming growth factor-?1,and then the type Ⅱ collagens were detected by immunohistochemical assay. The induced MSCs were seeded onto polyglycolic acids(PGA) scaffold as experimental group,and PGA scaffold were implanted into subcutaneous tissue as control group. The cell-scaffold construct was wrapped around a silicon tube(0.4 cm in diameter) and implanted into subcutaneous tissue of porcine. All specimens were harvested after in vivo culture for 6,8 and 10 weeks and evaluated by gross view,histology,and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS:①The MSCs were obtained by density gradient centrifugation method,and abundant seed cells were obtained after culture and amplification. ②The MSCs differentiated towards chondrocyte when cultured in the specific medium in vitro and were verified by the positive result of collagen type Ⅱ through immunohistochemistry. ③After implanted into subcutaneous tissue for 6,8 and 10 weeks,the cell-scaffold formed a tubular cartilage,which was very similar to normal porcine tracheal cartilage in both gross view and histology. And the result of collagen type Ⅱ through immunohistochemistry was positive. CONCLUSION:The in vivo and vitro cultured MSCs from porcine bone marrow can generate tissue-engineered cartilage under chondrogenic induction.

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of Chai-Hu Shu-Gan Tang (CHSGT) on levels of TNF-α and 5-HT in lithium chloride–pilocarpine caused epilepsy–depression comorbidity rat model, in order to discuss the intervention effect of CHSGT on TNF-α and 5-HT in epilepsy–depression comorbidity. The lithium chloride–pilocarpine caused epilepsy–depression comorbidity rat model was established. After 6 weeks of animal establishment, rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, which were citalopram group (A), physiological saline group (B), CHSGT high dose group (C), medium dose group (D), and low dose group (E). Intragastric administration was given for 4 weeks, twice a day. Before and after the treatment, RT-PCR was performed to detect hippocampal TNF-αlevels. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed to detect hippocampal 5-HT levels. Both forced swimming test (FST) and saccharin preference test were carried out to monitor the depressive behaviors of rats. In the meantime, 24 hours a day video camera surveillance were performed to record the number of seizures of rats. The results showed that after treatment, the number of seizures of rats were significantly reduced, the accumulative immobility time in FST was shortened, and the consumption of sucrose increased significantly (P < 0.01) in group A, C and D. Compared with group B, after the treatment, the expressions of hippocampal TNF-α mRNA of rats in group A, C, D were distinctly downregulated, with the level of 5-HT significantly increased (P < 0.05,P < 0.01). Compared with group A, group C and D showed no significant changes. It was concluded that TNF-α played a role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy–depression comorbidity through mediating the level of 5-HT. High and medium doses of CHSGT can downregulate the expression of TNF-α mRNA in depression comorbidity of chronic temporal lobe epilepsy, increase 5-HT level, reduce the number of seizures of rats, and improve depressive behaviors.

Objective:To understand the implementation status of case-based payment among healthcare provid-ers and their cognition on the matter. Methods:Semi-structured interview was conducted on 30 purposely selected staff from 9 hospitals in Chengdu. Results:After one-year implementation of case-based payment, hospitals at different level carried out the policy vigorously:executed corresponding expense control measures and management. Neverthe-less, the proportion of cases that were paid with case-based payment was low, moreover the inclusion criteria for case was of disunity and the formulation of the expense standard was ambiguous to some extent. Conclusion:Certain achievements were accompanied with problems, so it is essential to refine reimbursement standards, improve case-based payment, make clear the inclusion criteria for case and extend the covering range of case-based payment in Chengdu. In addition, the medical insurance agency should strengthen the supervision of healthcare providers,and guide them to set up effective incentive mechanism.

Objective To investigate the autophagy capacity in clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissue compared with adjacent normal tissue.Methods Sixty-nine pairs of samples from human clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissues and relatively healthy renal tissues adjacent to the tumor were collected during surgical resection.The expressions of proteins that were participating in the regulation and execution of autophagy were detected by immunohistochemisty.Electron-microscopy was also carried out for the morphometrical analysis.Results The protein expression of p-mTOR (P =0.004),P62 (P =0.000) and ULK1 (P =0.000) were up-regulated in the carcinoma tissue,while the expression of Beclin1 (P=0.000),LC3 (P =0.000) and ATG7 (P =0.000) were down-regulated,and the expression of ATG5 (P =0.349) had no signif-icant difference compared with adjacent normal tissue.Morphometrical analysis showed that the basal autophagic activity (measured by the presence of autophagy vacuole compartment) was remarkably down-regulated in carcinoma tissue,compared with adjacent normal tissue.The expression level of mTOR was correlated with P62,LC3 and ATG7,but results showed no correlation between mTOR and Beclin 1.Conclusion Our studies show a relatively reduced autophagy capacity in clear cell renal cell carcinoma,which is regulated by multiple autophagy-related proteins such as mTOR,Beclin 1 and LC3.

Objective To explore the effects of comprehensive restraint reduction program on preventing un-planned extubation among ICU patients with tracheal intubation. Methods Totally 266 cases of ICU patients with tracheal intubation in our hospital were selected as the research objects using the convenient sampling method.They were divided into two groups by time: the experimental group of 130 cases implementing a comprehensive reduction constraint program and the control group of 136 cases using conventional physical restraint in nursing process.The constraint rate, constraint length, UEX incidence, skin and satisfaction of the two groups were compared. Results In the experimental group, the rate of physical restraint and UEX decreased, the average restraint length of each patient was shortened, skin integrity at the site of restraint improved, and the satisfaction of patients increased. Compared with the control group, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion The com-prehensive restraint reduction program can reduce the rate of physical restraint and the incidence of unplanned ex-tubation among ICU patients with tracheal intubation.
