Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have been widely used in regenerative medicine, but there is limited research on the stability of UC-MSCs formulation during production. This study aims to assess the stability of the cell stock solution and intermediate product throughout the production process, as well as the final product following reconstitution, in order to offer guidance for the manufacturing process and serve as a reference for formulation reconstitution methods. Three batches of cell formulation were produced and stored under low temperature (2-8 ℃) and room temperature (20-26 ℃) during cell stock solution and intermediate product stages. The storage time intervals for cell stock solution were 0, 2, 4, and 6 h, while for intermediate products, the intervals were 0, 1, 2, and 3 h. The evaluation items included visual inspection, viable cell concentration, cell viability, cell surface markers, lymphocyte proliferation inhibition rate, and sterility. Additionally, dilution and culture stability studies were performed after reconstitution of the cell product. The reconstitution diluents included 0.9% sodium chloride injection, 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 1% human serum albumin, and 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 2% human serum albumin, with dilution ratios of 10-fold and 40-fold. The storage time intervals after dilution were 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 h. The reconstitution culture media included DMEM medium, DMEM + 2% platelet lysate, 0.9% sodium chloride injection, and 0.9% sodium chloride injection + 1% human serum albumin, and the culture duration was 24 h. The evaluation items were viable cell concentration and cell viability. The results showed that the cell stock solution remained stable for up to 6 h under both low temperature (2-8 ℃) and room temperature (20-26 ℃) conditions, while the intermediate product remained stable for up to 3 h under the same conditions. After formulation reconstitution, using sodium chloride injection diluted with 1% or 2% human serum albumin maintained a viability of over 80% within 4 h. It was observed that different dilution factors had an impact on cell viability. After formulation reconstitution, cultivation in medium with 2% platelet lysate resulted in a cell viability of over 80% after 24 h. In conclusion, the stability of cell stock solution within 6 h and intermediate product within 3 h meets the requirements. The addition of 1% or 2% human serum albumin in the reconstitution diluent can better protect the post-reconstitution cell viability.

Objective:To observe any effect of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) combined with electro-acupuncture on detrusor overactivity after a spinal cord injury.Methods:Forty spinal cord injury survivors with neurogenic detrusor overactivity were randomly assigned to a control group or an observation group, each of 20. Both groups received routine bladder training and electro-acupuncture modulating 3 sacral spinal nerves. The observation group also received 20 minutes of bilateral PTNS five times a week for 8 weeks. The frequency was 10Hz with a pulse width of 200μs. Before and after the treatment, both groups′ urination frequency, incontinence and average daily urine volume were assessed using a urodynamics analyzer, bladder diaries and an incontinence quality of life questionnaire (I-QOL).Results:After treatment, the average involuntary detrusor contraction volume (IDCV), maximum detrusor pressure at filling time (P det·max), bladder compliance (BC), residual volume and the TL value of the electromyogram of the urethral sphincter (LgTLR) had all improved significantly in both groups. The 1st IDCV, BC and LgTLR of the observation group were then significantly better than in the control group, on average, with the average P det·max and residual volume significantly lower than in the control group. The average daily single urine output and I-QOL score of both groups had increased significantly, while the average daily urination frequency and frequency of urinary incontinence had decreased significantly. Both were again significantly better in the observation group. Conclusion:Combining percutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerves with electro-acupuncture can effectively inhibit detrusor overactivity after a spinal cord injury, reducing urinary incontinence.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of free flap transfer with anastomosis of anterior interosseous artery and accompanying veins as the recipient vessels in reconstruction of forearm defects.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 5 patients who received free flaps transfers with anastomoses of anterior interosseous artery and accompanying veins in reconstruction of forearm defects with exposed bone and tendon in the Department of Orthopaedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between July 2022 and November 2023. All patients were males, aged 31 to 54 years old with an average age of 41.8 years old. Two patients had defects of dorsal ulnar forearm, 2 of distal forearm and 1 of radial palmar forearm. The defected areas after debridement sized 11.0 cm×4.5 cm-20.0 cm×6.0 cm. Free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps (ALTPF), sized 13.0 cm×6.0 cm-22.0 cm×7.0 cm, were used in 4 patients to reconstruct the forearm defects. A free superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap was used in 1 patient with the flap sized at 12.0 cm×5.5 cm. All donor sites were directly sutured. Scheduled postoperative follow up was carried out to evaluate the blood supply to the flaps, texture, appearance, fracture healing and the function of the affected limb, as well as the flap sensation according to the criteria for sensory function of British Medical Research Council (BMRC).Results:All 5 patients had received 4 to 16 (mean 8.8) months of follow-up. All flaps survived completely without necrosis or infection. All flaps were good in colour and texture. The blood supply to hands was good, without a symptoms of coldness and fear of cold of hand. At the final follow-up review, sensation of flaps was assessed according to the criteria for sensory function of BMRC and the sensation of the flaps had recovered to S 2~S 3+. The appearance of flaps was good. Conclusion:Free flap with the anterior interosseous artery and accompanying veins as the recipient vessels in the treatment of forearm defects can achieve satisfactory clinical effect, however, further clinical studies are required.
