BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common metabolic disorder. Due to insufficient insulin secretion or insulin resistance, increased blood glucose often leads to impaired wound healing in T2D patients. Our previous research showed that adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) from normal mice and T2D mice improved the cutaneous wound healing of diabetic mice. We also found that the expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in T2D ASCs was significantly decreased. METHODS: In order to explore the effects of NPY on ASCs and diabetic wound healing, we investigated the effects of NPY on ASCs proliferation and growth factors expression and secretion, the effects of NPY on skin fibroblasts, and the effects of NPY combined with ASCs on T2D wound healing. RESULTS: The results showed that a certain concentration of NPY could promote the proliferation and the growth factors expression and secretion of ASCs, and promote the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts. At the same time, NPY and ASCs have a synergistic effect, which can promote wound healing and decrease inflammation in T2D wounds. NPY may regulate ASCs through the ERK pathway. These results are conducive to promoting ASCs and NPY in the treatment of diabetic wounds. CONCLUSIONS NPY can promote the effect of ASCs in the treatment of diabetic wounds.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of surgical treatment for patients with T 4 stage prostate cancer. Methods:The clinical data and prognosis of 18 patients with T 4 stage prostate cancer treated in Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital from July 2013 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The average age of these 18 patients was 68.3 (53-81)years. 10 patients were castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and 8 patients were hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC). 10 CRPC patients were treated with surgical treatment due to bladder clot packing and/or lower urinary tract obstruction. 8 HSPC patients had severe hematuria, severe dysuria and local symptoms. The KPS scores of all patients were ≥80 points with an average score of 84 (80-90). The average QOL score of 18 patients was 28 (21-32). 2 cases in 18 patients underwent total pelvic resection for rectal invasion (one CRPC and one HSPC). 7 cases underwent radical cystoprostatectomy for ureteral invasion (5 cases of CRPC, 2 cases of HSPC), 9 cases underwent bladder preservation surgery for bladder neck invasion (4 cases of CRPC, 5 cases of HSPC), of which 4 cases of enlarged lymph node dissection were all HSPC patients. Results:All cases of T 4 stage prostate cancer patients operation were successfully completed, the average operation time was 256 (219-310)min and the median intraoperative blood loss was about 300 (250-350)ml. Four of them (3 cases of CRPC and 1 case of HSPC) received blood transfusion after operation. The average postoperative hospital stay was 21(11-37) days. All 18 cases were followed up and the median follow-up time was 23.8 months. There was no perioperative death, and no bladder-preserving patients had true urinary incontinence or bladder outlet stenosis.2 CRPC cases died 8 and 15 months after surgery respectively, 7 patients were PSA relapse treated with docetaxel or abiterone therapy, and 1 HSPC patient with rectal invasion was followed up for 58 months after total pelvic resection, the PSA level was still 0.003ng/ml, no distant metastasis was found. 8 cases of hormone-sensitive patients were treated with endocrine therapy, and PSA was less than 0.2 ng/ml. The average QOL of 18 patients 3 months after operation was 37 points (25-45), which was significantly higher than that before operation. The average maximum urine flow rate of patients with bladder preservation was 23(19-25)ml/s. Conclusions:For T 4 stage prostate cancer, surgical treatment is feasible and safe for doctors with extensive surgical experience. For CRPC patients, the surgery can significantly improve short-term symptoms and quality of life, and long-term benefits need to be further evaluated with a large sample. For HSPC patients, it can not only improve clinical symptoms and QOL of patients, but also provide long-term benefits.

Objective To study the curative efficacy and safety of single-unit umbilical cord blood transplantation (sUCBT) for malignant hematologic diseases,which is provided by China's public cord blood bank.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 409 cases of malignant hematologic diseases who accepted myeloablative single-unit unrelated donor UCBT without ATG at our center between May 2008 and December 2016.A comparative analysis was made on the total nuclear cells (TNC) of the umbilical cord blood before freezing and after thawing,the cells of CD34+,the recovery rate of cells and the clinical effect of UCBT.Result 409 units of umbilical cord blood used in UCBT respectively came from eight China's public cord blood banks.The average TNC of 409 units of umbilical cord blood before freezing and after the tubular recovery were respectively 18.5 × 108 and 16.34 × 108 (p =0.000).The average recovery rate of the tubular recovery was 88.5％,and there was significant difference among cord blood banks (P =0.000).The average TNC of umbilical cord blood before freezing and transfusion were respectively 18.5 × 108 and 15.86 × 108 (p =0.000).The average recovery rate of umbilical cord blood transfusion was 85.9％,with the difference being significant among cord blood banks (P =0.000).The average number of CD34+ cells before freezing and after the tubular recovery was 11.18 × 106and 8.68 × 106 (p =0.000).The average recovery rate of CD34+ cells after the tubular recovery was 80.75 ％,with the difference being significant among the cord blood banks (P =0.000).At 42nd day after UCBT,the cumulative incidence of neutrophil engraftment was 95.4％,and the median time of the engraftment was 17 days (11-38 days).The cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment at 120th day was 84.6％,and the median time of the engraftment was 36 days (14-93 days).The cumulative incidence of erythrocyte engraftment at 60th day was 92％,and the median time of engraftment was 22 days (9d-60 days).After the umbilical cord blood provided by each bank was used in UCBT,it got the difference in cumulative incidence of engraftment.The P values for cumulative incidence of neutrophil,platelet and erythrocyte engraftment were respectively 0.004,0.01 and 0.000 2,with the differences being statistically significant.At 100th day after UCBT,the cumulative incidence of Ⅱ-Ⅳ and Ⅲ-Ⅳ degrees of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) was respectively 28.63％ and 15.7％.After umbilical cord blood provided by each bank was used in UCBT,it got the difference in cumulative incidence of aGVHD.There was no significant difference between Ⅱ-Ⅳ and Ⅲ-Ⅳ degrees (P =0.809 and 0.68 respectively).At 3rd year after UCBT,the cumulative incidence of relapse was 15.89％.After umbilical cord blood provided by each bank was used in UCBT,there was no significant difference in the cumulative incidence of relapse (P =0.898).At 3rd year after UCBT,the overall survival (OS) rate and disease free survival (DFS) rate were respectively 66.7％ and 59％.After umbilical cord blood provided by each bank was used in UCBT,it got the difference in OS and DFS.There was no significant difference in OS and DFS (P =0.566 and 0.703 respectively).At 3rd year after sUCBT,the rate of graft-versus-host diseases/relapse-free survival (GRFS) was 54.3％.After umbilical cord blood provided by each bank was used in UCBT,there was no significant difference in the rate of GRFS (P =0.449).Conclusion The umbilical cord blood provided by China's public cord blood bank was used in UCBT.It has a high safety and good efficacy in treating malignant hematologic diseases.But it needs to set up the standardized and normalized quality-control system of umbilical cord blood for China's public cord blood bank.
