ABSTRACT
Objective@#Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a major long-term complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . It is important to study the changes of serum biomarkers expression in patients for early diagnosis and treatment.@*Methods@#The expression levels of five serum protein markers (IL-1b, IL-16, CXCL9, CCL19, CCL17) in patients with or without cGVHD after allo-HSCT were detected by liquid suspension microarray.@*Results@#Compared with the control group without cGVHD, the expression levels of CXCL9 and CCL17 in serum of patients with cGVHD were significantly increased (P<0.05) . CCL17 was correlated with the severity of cGVHD (P<0.001) . CXCL9 was significantly increased in the serum of patients with skin lesion (P<0.01) , and CCL17 was significantly expressed in cGVHD patients with liver as the target organ (P<0.01) .@*Conclusion@#The combination of CXCL9 and CCL17 can be used as serum biomarkers of cGVHD, which has certain reference value in assisting the diagnosis and evaluation of cGVHD severity.
ABSTRACT
Objective To systematically evaluate the application effect of the quality control circle(QCC)in the complications after PICC catheterization.Methods The randomized controlled trials(RCTs)on the application effect of QCC after PICC catheter-ization were retrieved from the Cochane library,PubMed,EMBASE,Chinese Biomedical literature Database(CBM),China Academic Journal Full-text Database(CNKI),VIP and Wangfang Database by computer.The literatures were selected according to the inclu-sion and exclusion criteria.The two valuators independently retrieved and screened the literatures,extracted the data,evaluated the methodological quality of included literatures and conducted the cross check.Then the meta analysis was performed by using Rev-Man 5.3 software.Results A total of 7 914 articles were retrieved,finally 14 RCTs were included,involving 2 728 patients.The oc-currence rates of phlebitis,catheter obstruction,unplanned extubation and catheter-related blood flow infection in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(OR=0.28,95% CI:0.16-0.48,P<0.01;OR=0.27,95% CI:0.17-0.42,P<0.01,OR=0.27,95% CI:0.18 -0.39,P<0.01;OR=0.25,95% CI:0.13 -0.49,P<0.01).Conclusion Using QCC is conducive to reduce the complication incidence rate after PICC catheterization.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the biological characteristics of platelet-derived growth factor A and human beta defensin 2 (hPDGF-A/hBD2) gene-modified rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods By using liposome transfection technique, recombinant adenovirus vector expressing hPDGF-A/hBD2 (Adv-hPDGF-A-IRES-hBD2) labeled with GFP was transfected into 293T cells for virus packaging and amplification. BMSCs were isolated, cultured and infected by adenovirus-containing supernatant. The exogenous gene-modified BMSCs were comprehensively studied on their biological features, in terms of morphology, cell growth curve, cell cycle, and adipogenic, osteogenic and myogenic differentiation ability. Results hPDGF-A-IRES-hBD2 gene-modified BMSCs did not show obvious changes in cell viability, proliferation, cell cycle distribution or cell differentiation. Conclusion BMSCs were not only good carriers for exogenous hPDGF-A and hBD2 genes but also seed cells for cell therapy even after hPDGF-A/hBD2 modification.
