BACKGROUND:Peptide hydrogel has good plasticity, and it can fil the injured site very wel; therefore, to use this material as a scaffold is a feasible exploration in bone and cartilage tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE:To test the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels combined with injectable peptide hydrogel and chondrogenic factors for repair of articular cartilage defects in rabbits. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from rabbits were isolated and cultured. A ful-thickness bone-cartilage defect model, 5 mm in diameter and 3 mm in depth, was made on the left knee joint of rabbits, and the right knee joint of rabbits with no treatment was used as control after modeling. There were three experimental groups: self-assembling peptide hydrogel group, peptide hydrogel+chondrogenic factors group, and peptide hydrogel+chondrogenic factors+bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels group. Transforming growth factor β1, dexamethasone and insulin-like growth factor 1 were mixed as chondrogenic factors and added into self-assembling peptide hydrogel or bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Twelve weeks after treatment, animals were sacrificed for gross and histological observation, X-ray radiography, and histological evaluation using immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 12 weeks after treatment, the self-assembling peptide hydrogel group showed excelent results in the cartilage repair, and better achievements in safranin-O staining, colagen II immunostaining, and histological scores than the other groups (P < 0.05); the peptide hydrogel+chondrogenic factors group had better repair effects similar to the self-assembling peptide hydrogel group, but the expression of proteoglycans was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01); there were poorer repair effects and more osteophytes in the peptide hydrogel+chondrogenic factors+bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels group than the the peptide hydrogel+ chondrogenic factors group. Experimental findings indicate that the self-assembling peptide hydrogel can repair cartilage defectsin situ and improve cartilage repair, which is expected to improve current repairing effects on cartilage defects.

BACKGROUND:With the development of genetic engineering and tumor molecular biology, gene therapy has acted as a new treatment mode for tumors. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the impact of gene silencing ABCE1 on growth, proliferation and migration of human cervical cancer cel s XB1702. METHODS:siRNA sequences of ABCE1 were designed and synthesized to transfect XB1702 cel s using LipofectamineTM 2000. Cel s transfected with NC siRNA carrier served as controls, and untransfected cel s acted as blank group. After RNA interference, the expression of ABCE1 mRNA and protein was detected by western blod assay;cel cycle was detected using flow cytometry;cel counting kit-8 test, scratch healing assay and cel invasion assay were used to evaluate the effects of ABCE1 silence gene on XB1702 cel proliferation, migration and invasion ability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:ABCE1 mRNA and protein expression in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group and blank group (P<0.05). Growth rate in the experimental group was significantly slowed, cel s were arrested in G 0/G 1 phase, and the number of S-phase cel s was reduced. Compared with the control group and blank group, XB1702 cel proliferation was inhibited significantly in the experimental group, and cel migration and invasion was significantly decreased (P<0.05). These results showed that specific interference with gene expression of ABCE1 can inhibit the migration of human cervical cancer cel s XB1702, and restrain tumor cel proliferation;therefore, the siRNA sequence of ABCE1 may be an effective target for treatment of cervical cancer.

Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacy of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC),and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretography (ERCP) plus endoscopic sphinetemtomy (EST) plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis.Method One hundred and six patients with acute biliary pancreatitis and biliary obstruction underwent minimally invasive surgery between January 2012 and February 2016 in our hospital,including 54 cases received LCBDE + LC (LCBDE group) and 52 cases received ERCP + EST + LC (ERCP group).The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,length of hospital stay,medical expenses and postoperative complications were compared between two groups.Results The operating time in LCBDE group was longer than that in ERCP group [(110.2 ± 11.2) min vs.(100.8 ±22.8) min,x2 =-2.11,P ＜ 0.05],the length of hospital stay was shorter [(10.3 ± 3.8) d vs.(12.6 ±3.4) d,x2 =2.32,P ＜ 0.05],the medical expense was less [(31 245.3 ± 1 237.2) Yuan vs.(42 342.2 ±1 354.3)Yuan,x2 =2.82,P ＜ 0.01].There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss [(40.2 ± 10.3) ml vs.(39.3 ± 10.4) ml,x2 =0.88,P ＞ 0.05],the rate of postoperative analgesic use [11.11％ (6/54) vs.13.46％ (7/52),x2 =0.102,P ＞0.05] and the incidence of postoperativecomplications [9.26％ (5/54) vs.11.54％ (6/52),x2 =0.080,P ＞0.05] between two groups.Conclusion laparoscopic common bile duct exploration plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy has advantages of shorter hospital stay and lower medical expenses in treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis combined with biliary infection.

BACKGROUND:At present, there are no studies of comparing the effect of silk fibroins from different sources in repair of osteochondral defects. OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of mulberry silk- and tussah-derived silk fibroin scaffold materials in repair of osteochondral defect. METHODS:Totaly 20 New Zealand white rabbits were obtained to prepare osteochondral defect models on the unilateral knee joint and randomly divided into five groups: control group, experimental group 1, experimental group 2, experimental group 3 and experimental group 4. Rabbits in the control group were not implanted any materials. In the experimental group 1, 3 layers of mulberry silk protein scaffolds stuck together to fil in defects. In the experimental group 2, one mulberry silk protein scaffold coated with transforming growth factor-β3 was stuck with two mulberry silk protein scaffolds coated with bone morphogenetic protein-2 to fil in defects. In the experimental group 3, three layers of tussah protein scaffolds stuck together to fil in defects. In the experimental group 4, one tussah protein scaffold coated with transforming growth factor-β3 stuck together with two tussah protein scaffolds coated with bone morphogenetic protein-2 to fil in defects. At 8 weeks post surgery, articular cartilage repair area was observed histopathologicaly. Type I and II colagen expressions were determined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The colagen fibers in experimental group 1 were widely distributed in the ful-thickness defect area. The colagen fibers in the experimental group 2 were paralely distributed on the surface of repair area, verticaly distributed from the middle and bottom to the top direction. Colagen was observed on the surface of repair area in the experimental group 3. The cartilage-like cels presented clumped distribution on the surface and at the bottom of scaffold. The type I colagen expression in the repair area was strongly positive in these four experimental groups. The type II colagen expression in the repair area of experimental 1 and experimental 2 groups was weak. The type II colagen expression in the repair area of experimental 3 and experimental 4 groups was strongly positive. These results demonstrate that these two kinds of silk fibroins can both repair osteochondral defects, in which mulberry silk proteins tend to form bone tissue, and tussah silk proteins tend to form cartilage tissue.

Phloroglucinol is an antineoplastic effective compound from Dryopteria Crassirhizoma Nakai. In this study, mice implanted with leukemia P388 were examined under an electron microscope. It' was found that the leukemia bearing mice, which had been injected with phloroglucinol exhibited degeneration and swelling of mitochondria in the P38'8 cells. Measurement with an oxygen electrode showed that the drug treatment of P388 cells markedly lowered their oxygen consumption in comparison with the control cells .The results demonstrate that phloroglucinol inhibits respiration of tumor cells. Probably, the mitochondria of tumor cells is a target that the drug attacks.

Objective:To investigate influences of bicortical anchora ge on the values of natural frequency of dental implants. Methods: Using the commercial code of SolidWorks, 3-D models of a screw-shaped dental i mplant and a mandibular bone segment were generated. After the 3-D implant-bon e complex was meshed by ABAQUS software, effects of bicortical anchorage on the buccolingual and axial first-order natural frequencies of the implant were comp uted. Results:Bicortical anchorage increased the buccolingual na tural frequencies and the axial natural frequencies of the implants by a maximu m of 13.77% and 107.40% respectively. The apical anchorage depth in the cortical bone had an insignificant effect on further increase of implant stability. Conclusion:Bicortical anchorage can increase the stability of dental implants, especially in the axial direction.
