ABSTRACT
A survey on mental health status was conducted during October 2021 to January 2022 among grade 2017—2021 medical students majored in general practice who received 3+2-year education integrated undergraduate study and residency training for assistant physicians in a medical school in Jiangsu province. The SCL-90 and the self-made scale were used to investigate the mental health status and the results were compared with the national norm, the norm of national physicians, and the norm of medical students in Jiangsu province. A total of 125 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the positive detection rate of SCL-90 scale was 17.6%. Compared with the national norm in 2015, the scores of forcing ( t=-2.47), the interpersonal sensitivity ( t=-2.00), the hostile ( t=-2.65), the paranoid( t=-3.14) and the psychiatric factor( t=-2.45) of the study group were significantly lower than those of the norm ( P<0.05). Compared with the norm of national physicians and the norm of medical students in Jiangsu province, the scores of all the items except the fear factor were lower than those of the norms ( P<0.05). In the study group there were no significant differences in the total score and all factors among students with different genders, different training stages, and different background. The total score of SCL-90 scale was negatively associated with the study performance and clinical skill mastery ( r=-0.18) and the sense of achievement ( r=-0.23, P<0.05). The study shows that the mental health status of this group of students is generally better than that of the several norms.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Whether transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under hypoxic conditions can survive is crucial for the successful celltransplantation. Therefore, studies on the growth of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under hypoxic conditions in vitro can provide experimental evidence for in vivo celltransplantation. OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under hypoxia. METHODS:Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were obtained and cultured, and observed under light microscopy. Passage 3 cells were cultured under normoxia (21%O2) and hypoxia (3%O2 hours. Then cellcounting kit-8 assay and flow cytometry were employed to detect cellproliferation in the two groups. Western blot assay was adopted to detect the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1αand vascular endothelial growth factor in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were obtained and cultured successful y, which were fusiform cells and had uniform shape under the light microscope. (2)The results of cellcounting kit-8 assay showed that the number of cells in the hypoxic group was higher than that in the normoxic group at each time point, and cellviability increased significantly at hours 36 and 48 (P<0.05). (3)The results of flow cytometry demonstrated that the proportion of cells in S phase and cellproliferation index in the hypoxic group were significantly increased, compared with the normoxic group (P<0.05). (4)Western blot results showed ), respectively, for 72 that there was a smal amount of the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1αand vascular endothelial growth factor in the normoxic group, but the expression of these two proteins in the hypoxic group was increased in a time-dependent manner (P<0.05). These findings suggest that hypoxia can induce proliferation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells cultured in vitro, and also raise hypoxia-inducible factor-1αand vascular endothelial growth factor expression in a time-dependent manner.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Placenta mesenchymal stem cells have become hot spots in stem cells study in recent years because of its advantages. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biological characteristics of amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and amnion epithelial cells, and to explore the feasibility of amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and amnion epithelial cells applied as seed cells in three-dimensional liquid culture to construct the tissue-engineered skin. METHODS:The amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and amnion epithelial cells were obtained by using multi-step digestion with trypsin and col agenase;then the flow cytometry, reverse transcription-PCR and immunofluorescent staining techniques were adopted to identify the surface molecular markers, stem cellcharacteristics and keratinocytes similarity respectively. Based on these data, amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and amnion epithelial cells used as seed cells together with rat type Ⅰ col agen matrix were adopted for three-dimensional liquid culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Flow cytometry test showed that amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and amnion epithelial cells cultured in vitro could highly express CD90, CD73 and CD105, and could not express the hemopoietic stem cellmarker of CD34 and MHC-class Ⅱ molecular HLA-DR. Reverse transcription-PCR results detected that amniotic mesenchymal stem cells could express stem cellcharacteristic genes CMCY and NANOG;amnion epithelial cells could express stem cellcharacteristic genes CMCY and KLF4, showing that both amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and amnion epithelial cells have stem cellproperties. Reverse transcription-PCR results showed that amniotic mesenchymal stem cells could express keratinocytes characteristic genes K19,β1-integrin and K8;amnion epithelial cells could express K19,β1-integrin, K5 and K8. Immunofluorescence staining results showed amnion epithelial cells could express keratinocytes proliferation related protein K14, which revealed that there was certain similarity in the mRNA expression between keratinocytes and amnion epithelial cells, and indicating that it has the potential to differentiate into keratinocytes. Tissue-engineered skin was successful y constructed by using amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and amnion epithelial cells, hematoxylin-eosin staining section showed that it has certain skin structure, and amnion epithelial cells had a preliminary differentiation. Al these prove that it is feasible to construct human skin tissues with amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and amniotic epithelial cells through the three-dimensional culture.

ABSTRACT
Objective To compare transabdominal and transcervical chorionic villus sampling (TC-CVS) in application for prenatal diagnosis, and to summarize the experience of transabdominal chorionlc villus sampling (TA-CVS). Methods One hundred and nine TA-CVS between April 2005 and November 2007 and 69 TC-CVS between August 1999 and March 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. Results ( 1 ) The mean gestational age was (12.4±1.9) weeks at TA-CVS and (8.8±1.2) weeks at TC-CVS (P< 0.01). (2) Compared with TC-CVS, punctures were fewer (1.4±0.5) and (1.1±0.4) and specimen amount was more (9±5) mg and (17±5) mg in TA-CVS, and the success rate of one puncture (62.3% vs 87.2% ) was higher in TA-CVS. (3)Among the cases followed up, the incidence of vaginal bleeding(TA-CVS: 2 eases, 2.0% ; TC-CVS: 2 cases, 6.1% ) and spontaneous abortion (TA-CVS: 4 cases, 4.0%; TC-CVS: 1 cases, 3.0%) were not significantly different between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion TA-CVS appears to be a good method for early prenatal diagnosis with a wide range of indications, high success rate and sufficient specimen.
