ABSTRACT
Background Development of corneal tissue engineering creates a new therapeutic method for severe corneal diseases.However,ideal seed cells and scaffold for corneal surface reconstruction have not yet been investigated well.Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are varified to have a self-renewal ability and epithelioid features,and temperature-responsive scaffolds (TRSs) can offer technical support for stem cell sheet.Objective This study was to investigate the characteristics of ADSCs cultured on TRSs and compare these features to typical oral mucosal epithelial cells (OMECs),and therefore to explore the feasibility of reconstruction of ocular surface with ADSCs as seed cells.Methods Self-made TRSs were prepared by adding isopropyl alcohol dissolved poly-Nisopropylacrylamide (PNIPAAm) to each polystyrene tissue culture dish and then irradiating using an election beam.Subcutaneious fatty tissue of rabbit neck was obtained to culture ADSCs,and 4 pieces of oral cavity mucosal tissue were digested and cultured to obtain OMECs.Then the ADSCs and OMECs were incubated on TRSs,and cell morphology,growth rate,detached duration and survival counts were compared between ADSCs and OMECs.The ADSCs sheet and OMECs sheet were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for morphological examination.Immunochemistry was used to observe the expressions of stem-cell biomakers and epithelioid-cell biomakers in the cells.The ultrastructure of cell surface was observed under the scanning electron microscope.Results Self-made TRSs were similar to ordinary culture dish in the transparancy and smoothness.The water contact angle of 4 in 5 samples were ＞10° with the effective rate upto 80％.A DSCs showed the elongated fusiform in shape,while OMECs showed a cobblestone appearance.The growth cycle,detached duration and cell number of ADSCs were 12-14 days,(46.0 ±9.6) minutes and (7.9 ±1.1)×105/sheet,and those of OMECs were 14-16 days,(91.9 ±10.9) minutes and (45.8 ±26.5)×105/sheet,respectively,showing statistically significant differences in the detached duration and cell counts between ADSCs and OMECs (P=0.002,0.028).Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed that ADSCs sheet comprised only 1-3 layer cells,while OMECs showed 4-5 layer cells.ATP-binding cassette superfamily G member 2 (ABCG2),p63 and cytokeratin 12 (CK12) were positively expressed in both ADSCs sheet and OMECs sheet.Closely packed cells and typical eithelial microvilli in the cell surface were exhibited in both ADSCs sheet and OMECs sheet under the scanning electron microscope.Conclusions Self-made TRSs can be used as scaffold of ADSCs.The ADSCs sheet on the TRSs appears to have a good cell vitality and therefore is a new seed source of ocular surface reconstruction.
ABSTRACT
Objective] To observe the clinical effect of Yiyuan Shengjing Decoction on similar climacteric syndrome of breast cancer after treated with tamoxifen. [Method] Choose 60 cases of breast cancer, randomly divide them into control group 30 cases and treatment group 30 cases, the control one were treated with tamoxifen and oryzanol, the treatment one, with tamoxifen and Yiyuan Shengjing Decoction. After 4w, evaluate the efficacy, compare their clinical symptoms score, hormone levels and endometrium thickness, and calculate the clinical relieving rate. [Result] After treatment, both groups clinical symptoms were relieved more than before treatment, with difference of statistical meaning; comparing on clinical symptoms scores, the treatment was much less than control one, with statistical meaning; on clinical relieving rates, the treatment group reached 83.33%, while 26.67% for control one, both had difference of statistical meaning. The comparison of reproductive hormone levels and endometrium thickness, the difference had no statistical meaning. [Conclusion] Yiyuan Shengjing Decoction treating breast cancer similar climacteric syndrome after treated with tamoxifen had marked cure effect, without influencing reproductive hormone level and endometrium thickness.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the curative and side effects on malignant pleural effusion treated with Ya Dan Zhi's grease (YDZ) and DDP by injecting chest. Methods:Patients were divided into 3 groups randomly: treatment group (24 patients of MPE, injected to chest with DDP60mg and YDZ80mL once every week)、YDZ group (25 patients)、DDP group (23 patients), observing the effects、strength improvement and the side effects.Results: The toltal effective rates in the treatment group was 88.33% and YDZ group 56%、DDP group 56.52% respectively ( P
