BACKGROUND:An increasing number of studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cels have the potential to treat acute kidney injury. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels have general characteristics of stem cels and many advantages, such as easy to isolate and culture, in vitrofast amplification, low immunogenicity and no ethical problems, which have garnered increasing attentions. OBJECTIVE:To study the repairing effects of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels on acute kidney injury in rats. METHODS: Thirty rats were randomized into three groups: a normal control group, a model group and a cel transplantation group. Rats in the model and cel transplantation were subjected to clamping the renal pedicles for 45 minutes, and then injected 1 mL of DAPI-labeled umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels or 1 mL of saline via the tail vein. In the normal control group, the kidney was only exposed with no treatment. At 7 days after treatment, the rats were kiled to take left kidney tissues for pathological observation under light microscope and right kidney for observation of DAPI-positive cel counting. Automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect serum creatinine and urea ammonia levels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, the levels of serum creatinine and urea ammonia were significantly lower in the cel transplantation group (P < 0.05), suggesting that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels can improve the kidney function to a certain extent. Pathological findings showed that the pathological damage was improved more remarkably in the cel transplantation group than the model group, and the tubular necrosis index decreased significantly in the cel transplantation group. At 7 days after cel transplantation, blue fluorescent cels were scattered on renal tissue frozen sections. These results indicate that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cels can migrate to the injured tubular epithelial tissues, and promote the repair of the injured kidney.

Depression is a worldwide neuropsychiatric disorder. Currently most preclinical and clinical studies of depression focus on monoaminergic system. However, there is growing evidence which suggests that glutamatergic system plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of depression. This review focuses on the de-velopment of new antidepressants that target glutamatergic sys-tem, summarizes the current mechanisms of antidepressants, and also highlights new insights to the pathophysiology of depression.

Objeetive To probe the clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary gastric lymphoma (PGL). Methods Clinical data of 23 PGL patients identified by postoperative pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Sixteen patients underwent subtotal gastrectomy,3 patients underwent total gastrectomy,2 patients underwent palliative resection and 2 patients underwent exploratory laparotomy only. Postoperatively 21 patients received adjuvant treatment(chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy).The variables analyzed were type of surgery, histological type in accordance with Kiel's classification, Involvement of lymph nodes. Ann Arbor stage classification. Results The overall 5-year survival rate of these patients Was 80%,that of low grade malignancy patients was 90%,and of high grade malignancy was 40%.Thirteen patients were classified as stage Ⅰ E and seven as stageⅡE and three as stageⅢor Ⅳ,the 5-year survival rate was 90%,67%and 0,respectively.Nineteen patients underwent radical resection with 5-year survival rate of 92.3%.No patients undergoing palliative resection have survived more than 5 years. The prognosis of PGL with low grade malignancy and that of early stages(IE and Ⅱ E)and those undergoing radical excision was better than those with high grade malignancy, that of advanced stage(Ⅲand Ⅳ),and that undergoing palliative resection. Conclusions Preoperative diagnosis relies mainly on gastroscopy with biopsy and CT scan. For patients with early stage disease,radical resection combined with adjuvant therapy is the key factor in improving the prognosis. Chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy is useful management for patients with advanced stage disease.

Objective To discuss the etiology,clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of congenital pleural effusion in fetuses and neonates in order to improve the understanding of this disease. Methods Six neonate cases with congenital pleural effusion were retrospectively analyzed in neonates who were admitted to the Department of Neonatolo-gy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University after birth and the etiology,clinical features,diagnosis and re-lated treatment were analyzed based on literature review. Results Among 6 patients with congenital pleural effusion, chylothorax was found in 3 cases,one of whom had chylothorax,chylous abdominal,21 trisomy syndrome and congenital hypothyroidism,and the etiology of the other 3 cases were unknown. Diagnosis mainly was depended on imaging and la-boratory tests. The number of nucleated cells of hydrothorax or ascites were(1 588 - 13 057)× 106 / L,mainly lympho-cytes. Protein qualitative was( + - + + + ),the chylothorax qualitative test was positive in 3 cases. The liver function showed that the total protein and albumin were decreased in varyig degrees. Conservative or surgical treatment was taken according to the situation of the patients. Among 6 patients,3 cases were cured after treatment,the others gave up treat-ment finally. Conclusions The etiology of congenital pleural effusion was different,and often associated with chromo-somal abnormalities or other malformations,ultrasonography was the main method to diagnose congenital pleural effusion and the patients should be dynamically observed or treated during the antepartum or intrapartum period. If the neonates are found to have pleural effusion in prenatal period early diagnosis and treatment is a best choice.

Objective:To improve the diagnostic accuracy of double contrast radiography of small and micro gastric carcinoma.Methods:The X-ray findings of small gastric carcinoma(9 cases)and micro-gastric carcinoma(3 cases) proved by surgical pathology were analyzed and compared with pathologic finding.1 misdiagnosed cases and 1 missed cases were analyzed.The double contrast films of acute gastric ulcer were reviewed and differentiated with SGC and MGC.Results:8 cases were examined by the double contrast procedure before gastroscopy,4 were diagnosed small gastric carcinoma,1 was diagnosed micro-gastric carcinoma,1 was misdiagnosed ulcer and 1 was missed,1 was suspected of being carcinoma.4 were examined by the double contrast procedure after gastroscopy,2 were small gastric carcinoma and 1 was micro-gastric carcinoma,which accorded with gastroscopy finding.One of micro-gastric carcinoma missed by gastroscopy was detected by DC.Conclusion:The imaging method of double contrast examination is the most effective one in detecting and diagnosing early gastric cancer.The detecting rate should be obviously increased by combining with gastroscopy closely.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the plasminogen activator inhibitor 1(PAI 1) gene polymorphism and cerebrovascular disease and whether it played an important role in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease Methods:The 4G/5G allele polymorphism in the PAI 1 gene promotor region were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from peripheral blood leukocytes from 60 normal controls, 65 patients with acute cerebral infarction and 31 hypertensives complicated with cerebral hemorrhage Their plasma PAI 1 activity were assayed by ELISA Results: The plasma PAI 1 activity level in the CI group was significantly higher than those in the other two groups PAI 1 level was significantly higher in 4G allele homozygous than both those in 4G/5G heterozygous and 5G homozygous Although PAI 1 level was higher in 4G/5G heterozygous than that in 5G homozygous, the difference had not reach statistically significant There were significant differences between acute cerebral infarction PAI 1 gene polymorphism and controls (P0 05), and PAI 1 levels of the 4G/4G genotype among female patients with CI were higher than those of the male patients with CI of the same genotype Conclusion: The results suggest that PAI 1 gene polymorphism may be a susceptible factor to acute cerebral infarction in Chinese, and 4G allele homozygous genotype may be the major risk factor of acute cerebral infarction, especially it may be an independent risk factor of female CI patients

The paper first analyzes the intrinsic need for cultural integration in hospital regrouping and sums up its content, including the integration of values, management ideas, institutional cultures and institutional frameworks. It then introduces some methods of cultural integration in hospital regrouping, such as running in on the basis of respecting human nature, resolving conflicts on the basis of being mutually tolerant, and merging completely on the basis of optimizing means of integration. The paper points out that success or failure of cultural integration in hospital regrouping depends on the thinking of the leaders. For this reason, it is imperative to enhance integration awareness and improve integration capability.

Objective To study the analgesic effects of combination of fortanodyn and verapamil. Methods Used the model of the acetic acid induction writhing in mice and the method of hot-plate in mice, then observe the action of the mice after treatment with combination of fortanodyn and verapamil. Results Low dose Verapamil com-bined AP237 (40 mg/kg, 80 mg/kg)could enhance the threshold of pain of the mouse ache response obviously, and postponed the time which the mouse ache appeared (comparing using simply AP237 P <0.05 with controlled group P <0. 01) ;Low dose Verapamil combined AP237 (20 mg/kg,40 mg/kg) had the obvious inhibitory action in the body turning times of the mouse. Conclusion Verapamil can strengthen the analgesia function of AP237.

Objective To investigate the effect of heme oxygenase-1 ( HO-1) on brain edema in a rat model of asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation. Methods Forty male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 10 each) : group I sham operation; group II cardiac arrest (CA); group Ⅰ Hemin (HO-1 inducer) and group IV SnPP (HO-1 inhibitor). Asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation were performed in CA, Hemin and SnPP groups (group Ⅰ ,Ⅲ, Ⅳ) . Hemin and SnPP groups received hemin 15 mg/kg intraperitoneally (IP) at 12 h before CA and SnPP K 30 μmol/kg IP at 1 h before CA respectively. The animals were sacrificed at 1 and 6 h after recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) . The water content of the cortex, hippocampus and brain stem and the expression of HO-1 and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) mRNA in cortex and hippocampus ( by RT-PCR) were determined. Results Water content of cortex and hippocampus was significantly higher at 1 h after ROSC in CA and SnPP groups than in sham operation group and was significantly lower in Hemin group than in CA group. There was no significant difference in water content of brain stem at 1 and 6 h after ROSC among all 4 groups. The expression of AQP4 mRNA was significantly higher in cortex and hippocampus at 1 h after ROSC in CA and SnPP groups than in sham operation group and was significantly lower in Hemin group than in CA group.Conclusion HO-1 can reduce brain water content at early stage after cardiac arrest and resuscitation by regulating the expression of AQP4.

Objective To investigate the impact of hepatic steatosis on the outcome of adefovir therapy in chronic hepatitis B patients with HBeAg positive. Methods The medical records of 154 patients who were diagnosed with CHB positive for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and received adefovir therapy for 24 weeks between January, 2011 and December, 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Baseline status and virologic response, biochemical response and serology response between patient with (n = 68) and without (n = 86) steatosis who were proven by ultrasound. Both groups were given oral adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg/d for 24 weeks , recovery rate in ALT/AST, negative conversion rate of HBV DNA and HBeAg were recorded and compared. Results Recovery rate in ALT/AST in observation group was 67.7%, which is lower than control group (83.7%), and the difference is significant(P < 0.05). Negative conversion rate of HBV DNA and HBeAg in control group is 81.4%and 83.7%, which is significantly higher than observation group (whose values are 58.8% and 44.1%, P < 0.05). Conclusion Hepatic steatosis has significant impact on the outcome of adefovir treatment.
