The study aimed at isolation of CD117+ stem cells from amniotic fluid samples followed by their invitro differentiation towards nephron progenitors that can be potentially used for regenerative medicine studies and to further understand pathways involved in renal pathogenesis. ⋯ To the best of our knowledge this is the first study from the country on the use of Amniotic fluid stem cells and their differentiation towards nephron progenitors that can be used as substitution source of cell therapy for exploration of renal diseases at cellular and molecular level and potential regenerative medicine applications.
-
To analyze the diagnostic characteristics and clinical related factors of patients with atelectasis by painless electronic bronchoscopy. ⋯ Painless electronic bronchoscopy is of great value in the clinical diagnosis of patients with atelectasis, and it is likely to further clarify the etiology of atelectasis. Age, sex, and quantity of smoking may be clinical factors associated with atelectasis.
-
To observe the clinical efficacy on total or near-total thyroidectomy in the treatment of thyroid cancer. ⋯ Total thyroidectomy is effective in the treatment of thyroid cancer, but has many postoperative complications. Clinicians need to choose the appropriate surgical method according to the actual condition of patients.
-
To investigate the effect of valsartan combined with nifedipine controlled-release Tablets on diabetic nephropathy (DN) patients with hypertension. ⋯ A combination of valsartan and nifedipine controlled-release tablets in DN patients with hypertension can effectively control blood glucose and blood pressure, improve the serological indexes such as COMP, TM, mAlb, Ang-1, Hcy, CysC, TGF-β1, APN, ALD and ghrelin, and potentially reduce and delay renal function damage.
