Background and Objectives:
The search for a suitable alternative for urethral defect is a challenge in the field of urethral tissue engineering. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) possess multipotential for differentiation. The in vitro derivation of urothelial cells from mouse-iPSCs (miPSCs) has thus far not been reported. The purpose of this study was to establish an efficient and robust differentiation protocol for the differentiation of miPSCs into urothelial cells.
Methods:
and Results: Our protocol made the visualization of differentiation processes of a 2-step approach possible. We firstly induced miPSCs into posterior definitive endoderm (DE) with glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) inhibitor and Activin A. We investigated the optimal conditions for DE differentiation with GSK3β inhibitor treatment by varying the treatment time and concentration. Differentiation into urothelial cells, was directed with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and recombinant mouse fibroblast growth factor-10 (FGF-10). Specific markers expressed at each stage of differentiation were validated by flow cytometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay, immunofluorescence staining, and western blotting Assay. The miPSC-derived urothelial cells were successfully in expressed urothelial cell marker genes, proteins, and normal microscopic architecture.
Conclusions
We built a model of directed differentiation of miPSCs into urothelial cells, which may provide the evi-dence for a regenerative potential of miPSCs in preclinical animal studies.

Objective:To analyze the usage intention and key issues of medical staff to use telemedicine, for improving telemedicine service system in China.Methods:From October to November 2019, medical workers of both the inviting party and invited party who experienced telemedicine in seven provinces of Fujian, Hainan, Henan, Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Qinghai were selected for an online questionnaire survey. Areas covered included their usage intention, satisfaction and cognitive appraisal of telemedicine. Descriptive statistical analysis and non-parametric test were used to discuss the intention of further use, satisfaction and challenges of medical workers in various provinces and regions.Results:1 084 valid questionnaires were recovered. The data found the overall satisfaction was 98.62%, and the proportion of their intention of further use was 98.25%, and those from the eastern and western provinces presented higher intention of usage. The top challenges as reflected by these medical workers were named as follows: timeliness of consultation progress and information feedback; long latency time; low Internet speed, poor and interrupted Internet signal; inadequate system equipments and inconvenient operation; difficulties in remote physical checkup and overall understanding of patient conditions; as well as substandard, incomplete and poor medical records.Conclusions:These medical workers are satisfied with the telemedicine services and willing to continue to use telemedicine.For those existing problems, it is suggested to strengthen the infrastructure and optimize the process of telemedicine services, so as to encourage them in greater use of telemedicine.

Telemedicine can optimize deployment of medical resources and minimize diagnosis discrepancies.Formulation of a rational project pricing and scientific compensation policy will be conducive to its future development. The concept of human resource consumption in RBRVS was used as reference to improve the activity-based costing ( ABC ) method. The authors sorted out the resource cost repository, identified the activity system, classified the motivation resources into respective activity cost repositories, and calculated the cost of respective cost object distribution.The cost of three telemedicine service items(remote single discipline consultation, remote image consultation and remote pathology consultation were 119.69, 147.03 and 161.61 yuan respectively) was calculated by the improved ABC.It can better indicate project costs than that calculated by the traditional ABC(137.30, 147.17 and 144.08 yuan), and proves more consistent with the existing prices of other province(134.00, 150.00 and 174.00 yuan).

OBJECTIVE: To study the mechanism of wound healing promotion of Panax notoginseng-Bletilla striata gum sponge on diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) model rats. METHODS: Healthy SD rats were selected and given high-lipid and high-glucose diet, intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin once to establish diabetes model. Neodymium-iron-boron magnet was used to press the back of rats to make ulcer wound then established DFU model. Totally 60 DFU model rats were randomly divided into group A(blank group, i.e. normal saline gauze group), group B(vaseline gauze group),group C (gelatin sponge group) and group D (P. notoginseng-B. striata gum sponge group), with 15 rats in each group. The rats were given corresponding gauze/sponge to cover the wound for intervention treatment, changing dressing once every 1-2 days. On the 3rd and 7th day after intervention, the wound healing of rats in each group was observed with naked eyes, and the wound healing rate was calculated. The wound margin tissue was collected to obtain HE staining section, and histopathological observation was conducted under microscope. mRNA expression of β-catenin, GSK-3β and Rspo3 in wound tissue were determined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: On the 3rd and 7th day after intervention, compared with group A, B, C, healing rate of group D was increased significantly (P<0.05); inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen deposition, capillary and granulation tissue growth in wound tissue increased significantly. The mRNA expression levels of β-catenin and Rspo3 all increased, and those of GSK-3β all decreased; except for the difference of β-catenin at the 3rd day and GSK-3β at the 7th day after intervention between group D and group C were not significant, the difference of other indicators was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: P. notoginseng-B. striata gum sponge can effectively promote the wound healing in DFU model rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with up-regulating the expression of β-catenin and Rspo3 mRNA and down-regulating the expression of GSK-3β mRNA.
