Mesenchymal stem cell seeded knitted silk sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Stress urinary incontinence remains a worldwide problem affecting patients of all ages. Implantation of suburethral sling is the cornerstone treatment. Current slings have inherent disadvantages.

[Characteristics of accumulation and distribution of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium in Chrysanthemum morifolium].

Objective: To study the characteristics of dry matter accumulation and N, P, K, Ca and Mg accumulation and distribution of Chrysanthemum morifolium.

Method: The sampling were carried out on the different growing time of C. morifolium, and the amount of dry matter and the content of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in all parts of the plant were measured.

[Determination of trace elements in Paris polyphylla var. Yunnanensis by ICP-AES].

Determination of metal elements in Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis was studied by ICP-AES after HNO3-H2O2 digestion. The average recovery of the method for K, Mg and trace elements such as Cu, Fe, Cr, Zn, Mn and Pb in the Paris polyphylla var.

Acute hyperenhancement on delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is the characteristic sign after coronary microembolization.

Background: Detection of coronary microembolization is of clinical importance for patient management and prediction of long-term outcome. However, there are few studies of the changes of magnetic resonance imaging after coronary microembolization. This study was designed to investigate the imaging of the left ventricle using delayed contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging as well as the left ventricular ejection fraction after coronary microembolization in animal models.

Specific interactions between human fibroblasts and particular chondroitin sulfate molecules for wound healing.

The chondroitin sulfates (CSs) constitute an important group of biomacromolecules in the extracellular matrix. However, limited information is available about their specific biological functions. This study aimed to define the interactions between cells and various types of CS.

A study of multi-detector row CT scan on greater omentum in 50 individuals: correlating with anatomical basis and clinical application.

Background: In view of the descriptions of the CT manifestations on the greater omentum (GO) were not precise and detailed enough in the previous literature, we tried to evaluate the radiologic-anatomical features of the GO and to address the related clinical implications for the radiologic diagnosis and surgical application.

Methods: We evaluated the GO by using multi-detector row CT (MDCT) scanning in 50 individuals correlating with anatomical basis and clinical application. Emphasis was placed on the following items: the anatomical distribution and location of the GO; the CT manifestations of the vasculature, fatty tissue and lymph nodes.

[In vivo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of superparamagnetic iron oxides-labeled mesenchymal stem cells in swines].

Objective: To explore the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MR) on detecting transplanted nanometer small superparamagnetic iron oxides (SPIO) labeled mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in swine model with acute myocardial infarction (MI).

Methods: MSCs isolated from swine were incubated with nanometer SPIO for 24 hours and the third-passage MSCs were labeled with DNA dye 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and aliphatic red fluorescent dye PKH(26)-GL. Presence of small particles of SPIO in MSCs was assessed by Prussian Blue staining and electron microscopy.
