Objective To establ ish a new induction method from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiating into hepatocyte-l ike cells using an adherent culture system with single-step induction. Methods Undifferentiated hESCs were cultured on Matrigel-coated culture plates for 4 days, hepatic differentiation was initiated at 60%-70% confluence by adding Activin A for 5 days. Then the induction medium was replaced by hepatocyte induction medium (HIM) supplemented with fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1) and bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) for another 6 days. Finally, the cells were treated with HIM adding hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and Oncostatin M (OSM) for 5-7 days. The characteristics of differentiated cells were determined by morphology, immunofluorescence staining, RT-PCR, and Periodicacid- Schiff (PAS) test. Results Differentiated cells treated with Activin A, FGF-1, BMP-4, HGF, and OSM sequentially were morphologically larger and became spherical, oval or polygon. Some cells had 2 or 3 nuclei, suggesting that the cells have a hepatocyte-l ike morphology. Differentiated cells at first induction stage could be stained positive by SOX17 and Forkhead (FOX)A2 after induction by Activin A. Then they turned to be α fetoprotein (AFP) and α1 antitripsin positive cells at second induction stage after induction by FGF-1 and BMP-4. Finally, the differentiated cells treated with HGF and OSM showed PAS possitive for glycogen detection. The differentiated cells at various stages also expressed at early (SOX17, FOXA2, and GATA-4),middle (AFP, albumin, and cytokeratin 18), and mature (alcohol dehydrogenase 1C and Cytochrome P4501B1) stage hepatic genes, respectively. Conclusion Using a simple-step induction method and by suppl ied with cytokines consequently, hESCs can be induced to differentiate into hepatocyte-l ike cells. The differentiation method can provide seed cells for hepatic tissue engineering or cell-therapy.

Methods A patient with dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted in October, 2010. During the procedure, the use of amiodarone hydrochloride injection made the patient suffer from liver and kidney dysfunction. We retrieved the literatures about liver and kidney toxicity of amiodarone from CNKI, Pubmed, and Embase (from the establishment of the databases to November 2011). We also ssessed the possibility of the adverse drug reaction, discussed the mechanism of amiodarone-induced hepatic insufficiency. Results According to the literature, There was a great possibility of hepatic insufficiency induced by amiodarone, and the total score of the Naranjo probability score was 7. Conclusion It is important to pay more attention to the pharmaceutical care of amidarone to timely recognize and effectively prevent or treat hepatic and renal insufficiency induced by intravenous injection with amiodarone.
Objective To evaluate the diagnosis value of temporal Done high-resolution computed tornography (HRCT) in cholesteatoma. Methods There were 30 causes that had received the mastoid surgery because of cholesteatoma. Each patient’s mastoid plain films (Schuller’s and Mayer’s ) and HRCT had been taken and compared with each other and surgical findings and evaluated with health economic evaluation methods. Results The sensitivity rate in diagnosing cholesteatoma with HRCF was much higher than that with mastoid film (Plt;0.005). The more important benefit with HRCT was that it can afford the detail information in ear such as the ossicular chain, facial nerve canal, tympanic sinus, etc. which were basis for otologist in surgery to remove the focus thoroughly and reconstruct the middle ear function at the same time. In the view of health economic evaluation, HRCT is also much better than mastoid X-ray film. Conclusion HRCT should replace masloid Schuller’s and Mayer’s film in diagnosis cholesteatoma and HRCT should use as ordinary examination in chronic otitis media.
ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of lumbar puncture models based on 3D printing technology for training junior orthopaedic surgeons to find the optimal pedicle screw insertion points.MethodsMimics software was used to design 3D models of lumbar spine with the optimal channels and alternative channels. Then, the printed lumbar spine models, plasticine, and cloth were used to build lumbar puncture models. From January 2018 to June 2019, 43 orthopedic trainees performed simulated operations to search for the insertion points of pedicle screws base on the models. The operations were performed once a day for 10 consecutive days, and the differences in operation scores and operation durations of the trainees among the 10 days were compared.ResultsAll the trainees completed the surgical training operations successfully, and there were significant differences in the operation scores (13.05±2.45, 14.02±3.96, 17.58±3.46, 21.02±2.04, 23.40±4.08, 25.14±3.72, 27.26±6.09, 33.37±4.23, 35.00±4.15, 38.49±1.70; F=340.604, P<0.001) and operation durations [(22.51±4.28), (19.93±4.28), (18.05±2.89), (17.05±1.76), (16.98±1.97), (15.47±1.74), (13.51±1.42), (12.60±2.17), (12.44±1.71), (11.91±1.87) minutes; F=102.359, P<0.001] among the 10 days.ConclusionThe 3D models of lumbar puncture are feasible and repeatable, which can contribute to surgical training.
Objective To investigate the changes of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in the First People’s Hospital of Longquanyi District of Chengdu around its overall relocation. Methods The First People’s Hospital of Longquanyi District of Chengdu was overall relocated on December 31st, 2016. The detection rates of MDROs and the changes in nosocomial infections before the relocation (from 2015 to 2016) and after the relocation (from 2017 to 2020) were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 83634 qualified specimens were submitted for inspection, 8945 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected, and the detection rate of pathogenic bacteria was 10.70%, showing an increasing trend in yearly detection rates of pathogenic bacteria (χ2trend=8.722, P=0.003); among them, 1551 MDRO strains were detected, and the detection rate of MDROs was 17.34%, showing an increasing trend in yearly detection rates of MDROs (χ2trend=11.140, P=0.001). The detection rate of pathogenic bacteria before relocation was lower than that after relocation, and the difference was statistically significant (9.64% vs. 11.08%; χ2=35.408, P<0.001); there was no significant difference in the detection rate of MDROs before and after relocation (16.32% vs. 17.66%; χ2=2.050, P=0.152). From 2015 to 2020, the detection rates of pathogenic bacteria from sputum+throat swab specimens (χ2trend=81.764, P<0.001) and secretion+pus specimens (χ2trend=56.311, P<0.001) showed increasing trends, while the detection rates of pathogenic bacteria from blood specimens (χ2trend=110.400, P<0.001), urine specimens (χ2trend=11.919, P=0.001), and sterile body fluid specimens (χ2trend=20.158, P<0.001) showed decreasing trends. The MDRO detection rates of Escherichia coli (χ2trend=21.742, P<0.001), Staphylococcus aureus (χ2trend=47.049, P<0.001), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (χ2trend=66.625, P<0.001) showed increasing trends, while the MDRO detection rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae (χ2trend=2.929, P=0.087) and Acinetobacter baumannii (χ2trend=0.498, P=0.481) showed no statistically linear trend, but the MDRO detection rate of Acinetobacter baumannii dropped significantly in 2017. In the targeted monitored MDROs, the proportions of nosocomial infections in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (χ2trend=4.581, P=0.032), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (χ2trend=8.031, P=0.005), and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (χ2trend=6.692, P=0.010) showed decreasing trends; there was no statistically linear trend in the proportion of nosocomial infections in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (χ2trend=0.597, P=0.440); only one strain of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus was detected in 2017, and no nosocomial infection occurred. Conclusions The overall detection rate of pathogenic bacteria and MDROs in this tertiary general hospital around relocation showed increasing trends year by year. The detection rate of pathogenic bacteria after relocation was higher than that before relocation, but the detection rate of MDROs after relocation did not differ from that before relocation. The proportion of nosocomial infections among the targeted monitored MDROs decreased.
