Objective:To evaluate the effects of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and ADM microparticle on diabetic wound healing.Methods:ADSCs was co-cultured with ADM microparticle in vitro. The models of diabetic nude mice were established by intraperitoneal injection of STZ and the full-thickness skin defects were designed on the back. All 24 diabetic mice were randomly divided into 4 group: experimental groups were transplanted with ADSCs and ADM microparticle and the other groups were transplanted with ADSCs, ADM microparticle and blank control group was set up. On the 7th and 14 th days, the wound healing rate of 3 mice randomly selected from each group was calculated, and the thickness between dermis and epidermis was measured by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The density of neovascularization was measured by immunohistochemical staining. The differences were compared between the groups.Results:Compared to the ADSCs groups, the mice of the experimental groups showed higher cell survival rate. The wound healing rate in the experimental groups was (86.0±2.7)% (7 days) and (98.5±1.1)% (14 days), thicker dermis-epidermis distance was (99.1±1.8) μm (7 days) and (124.3±4.3) μm (14 days) ( P<0.05), and higher density of neovascularization was noted. Conclusions:The transplantation with active ADM microparticle can significantly promote neovascularization and wound healing of diabetic wound.

Objective:To understand the needs of end-stage cancer patients for hospice care, so as to provide a basis for the development of human-centered quality nursing services in hospice care.Methods:13 patients with end-stage cancer in tumor ward were interviewed by personal in-depth interview, and the data were sorted and analyzed by Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method.Results:A total of four themes of hospice care needs of patients with end-stage cancer were extracted. The need to maintain self-subject: the desire to maintain self-efficacy and self-image of dignity in life; the need to relieve the symptoms of self-discomfort. The need to relieve the physical symptoms and psychological discomfort. Meet the needs of self-determination: participate in medical care decisions and choose comfortable social relationships. Express their own emotional needs: the past farewell and remembrance and future wish to achieve the expectationsConclusions:Patients with end-stage cancer have diverse needs for hospice care. In clinical work, medical staff should adhere to the people-oriented concept, explore patients' needs and preferences, and implement individualized quality nursing measures to meet patients' needs for hospice care.

Acute respiratory failure due to acute hypoxemia is the major manifestation in severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Rational and effective respiratory support is crucial in the management of COVID-19 patients. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been utilized widely due to its superiority over other non-invasive respiratory support techniques. To avoid HFNC failure and intubation delay, the key issues are proper patients, timely application and improving compliance. It should be noted that elder patients are vulnerable for failed HFNC. We applied HFNC for oxygen therapy in severe and critical ill COVID-19 patients and summarized the following experiences. Firstly, to select the proper size of nasal catheter, to locate it at suitable place, and to confirm the nose and the upper respiratory airway unobstructed. Secondly, an initial ow of 60 L/min and 37℃ should be given immediately for patients with obvious respiratory distress or weak cough ability; otherwise, low-level support should be given first and the level gradually increased. Thirdly, to avoid hypoxia or hypoxemia, the treatment goal of HFNC should be maintained the oxygen saturation (SpO) above 95% for patients without chronic pulmonary disease. Finally, patients should wear a surgical mask during HFNC treatment to reduce the risk of virus transmission through droplets or aerosols.

Objective:In this study, we aimed to determine the change and clinical significance of serum level Apo A1 in MM patients.Methods:In total, 412 multiple myeloma patients were examined. SPSS 22.0 was used for data analysis. Correlation analysis was performed using linear correlation or Spearman rank correlation coefficients. Measurement data were analyzed with the t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, or oneway analysis of variance (ANOVA) . Used the ROC curve to calculate the cutoff value and compared the OS and PFS between high Apo A1 subgroup and low Apo A1 subgroup with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.Results:Our study showed that value of Apo A1 in the patient group was lower than that in the control group (0.89 g/L vs 1.24 g/L, P<0.05) . We found that Apo A1 dynamically changed with different MM stages. As it was increased when the disease was in remission, and decreased after disease in progression. According the result of multivariate analysis Apo A1 reduction become the independent risk factors of MM. On the basis of Kaplan-Meier survival analysis between high Apo A1 subgroup and low Apo A1 subgroup, we found higher Apo A1 patienta had longer OS rate and PFS. Conclusions:Apo A1 is a useful biomarker of tumor burden and a prognostic factor of multiple myeloma.

Objective To study the cell morphology and differentiation efficiency when rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were induced osteogenic differentiation as culturing by autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) instead of serum,and to explore a new method of inducing BMSCs osteogenic differentiation.Methods The PRP was prepared by arterial blood of rabbit.Punctured and The bone marrow was sampled from rabbit's iliac bone,and BMSCs were collected,which divided into PRP group,fetal calf serum (FBS) group and serum-free control group,and cultured in 10％ autologous PRP,10％ FBS and serum-free respectively,combined with DMEM-F12 medium.The second generation cells were divided into experimental and control groups.The experimental groups' medium was added dexamethasone,β-sodium glycerophosphate and ascorbic acid,and the control groups went on.The cell morphological difference of each group was Observed between anterior and after inducing differentiation,and compared between each group.Results BMSCs of PRP and FBS groups grew quickly,presented like fusiform form before induction,and increasd in volume,became a triangle,polygonal and round form gradually after osteogenic induction.Cells of PRP and FBS groups aggregated spontaneously and multilayered,and formed calcium nodules and bone-like structure after induced 7 days averagely,which could be stained red by alizarin red S;cells of serum-free groups were induced 14 days averagely,only three samples showed osteogenesis performance.Cells of PRP and FBS groups differentiation efficiency was superior to serum-free groups when inducd 20 days,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05),and the difference between efficiency of PRP and FBS groups was not significant (P＞0.05).Conclusions Autologous PRP could be used to proliferate and induce osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs instead of serum.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of chronic subdual hematoma between surgical procedure twist drill craniostomy with injecting urokinase into hematoma space and only with twist drill craniostomy.Methods Two hundred and twenty-five patients with chronic subdual hematoma patients who were admitted in the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from January 2011 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into two groups according to the different surgical methods,group A for twist drill craniostomy with injecting urokinase into hematoma space (n =116),group B only for twist drill craniostomy (n =109).Then the postoperative drainage volume and residual hematoma was analyzed by repeated measures,while radiographic grading system and recurrence rates after operation were compared between groups with statistical analysis which was done by ANOVA analysis or non-parametric rank sum test.Results The drainage volume 48 hours after surgery was(52.41 ± 7.86) ml in group A,(28.42 ± 4.46) ml in group B as well.The residual volumes which were calculated at 1 month,3 months after surgery was (23.35 ±4.18) ml and (15.31 ±6.15) ml in group A,comparing the volumes of (46.07 ± 5.96) ml and (25.60 ± 5.03) ml in group B.The radiographic grading system was evaluated by grade 1-4.There were 75(64.7％) cases in grade 1,32(27.6％) cases in grade 2,8(6.9％) cases in grade 3,1 (0.9％) cases in grade 4 of group A,as well as 42(38.5％) cases in grade 1,55(50.5％) cases in grade 2,11 (10.1％) cases in grade 3,1 (0.9％) cases in grade 4 of group B.The rate of recurrence for chronic subdural hematoma was 6.0％ in group A,while it was 15.6％ in group B.These data all had significant statistical difference between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Twist drill craniostomy might be a safe,effective and mini-massive method for treating chronic subdual hematoma,while injecting urokinase into the hematoma space could significantly reduce the rate of recurrence and decrease the volume of hematoma.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of propranolol and 595 nm pulsed dye la ser (PDL) in treatment of infantile hemangioma.Methods 26 infants admitted to our hospital from January 2013 to January 2015 with hemangioma underwent oral propranolol 2 mg/(kg · d) treatment after excluding of taboos.The daily doses were divided equally to two parts,taken on the time of 8:00 and 20:00,when the electrocardiograph and pulse oxygen were monitored and recorded persistently.The patients were discharged from the hospital when it was stable,with review of blood routine examination,fasting blood glucose,liver and kidney function,and the change of size,character and color of hemangioma were recorded,and taken photos every two weeks after discharge.The 595 nm PDL was used to treat the hemangioma faded incompletely when the propranolol was terminated.Results The tension and color of all hemangioma decreased in varying degrees in taking propranolol for 72 hours,and evaluated the efficacy as recovery completely 19 cases;signifivantly effective in 3 cases and partial efficacy in 4 cases;the latter 7 cases were further treated with 595 nm PDL.Followed-up for 6-12 months showed that efficacy of recovery reached 100％.10 cases showed heart rate was mild reversibly slow,with no special treatment.5 cases had diarrhea,and healed with symptomatic treatment.No adverse reactions like liver and kidney dysfunction and so on were found.Conclusions Propranolol and 595 nm PDL can effectively treat infantile hemangioma,and thus it can be used as the recommended treatment of infantile hemangioma.

Objective To compare the effect of the bipolar electric coagulation and unipolar electric coagulation on cranioplasty of scalp separation. Methods The clinical data of 67 patients who underwent unilateral frontotemporal cranioplasty from 2014 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to coagulation method during operation, these patients were divided into two groups, unipolar electric coagulation group (32 cases) and bipolar electric coagulation group (35 cases). The operation time, postoperative intracranial hemorrhage, infection, epilepsy and subcutaneous effusion were compared between two groups. Results The operation time of two groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05). The incidence of intracranial hemorrhage, infection and epilepsy of two groups had no significant differences (P > 0.05). But the incidence of subcutaneous effusion in unipolar electric coagulation group was significantly higher than that in bipolar electric coagulation group: 28.1%(9/32) vs. 5.7%(2/35), P<0.05. Conclusions The use of unipolar electric coagulation during the scalp separation in cranioplasty can reduce operation time in a certain extent, but significantly increase the incidence of postoperative subcutaneous effusion.
