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.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of rumination between social anxiety and mobile phone addiction tendency among college students.Methods:The social avoidance and distress scale (SAD), mobile phone addiction tendency scale (MPATS) and ruminative response scale (RRS) were used to measure 682 college students.SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 7.0 were used for data analysis.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation among social anxiety, mobile phone addiction tendency and rumination.Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect of rumination between social anxiety and mobile phone addiction tendency among college students.Results:The total score of social anxiety was (13.36±6.02), the total score of rumination was (51.04±11.56), and the total score of mobile phone addiction tendency was (40.46±11.74). The detection rate of mobile phone addiction tendency was 23.90%, and the detection rate of social anxiety was 49.85%.The total score of social anxiety was positively correlated with the total score of rumination ( r=0.31, P<0.01) and the total score of mobile phone addiction tendency ( r=0.25, P<0.01). The total score of rumination was positively correlated with the total score of mobile phone addiction tendency ( r=0.46, P<0.01). The structural equation model showed that rumination played a complete mediating role between high social anxiety and mobile phone addiction tendency, and the effect value was 0.18.There was no mediating effect between low social anxiety and mobile phone addiction tendency, and the direct effect value was 0.33. Conclusion:Low social anxiety directly affects college students' tendency of mobile phone addiction, while high social anxiety indirectly affects college students' tendency of mobile phone addiction through rumination.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics of and HPV subtypes in vulvar condyloma acuminatum(CA)and subclinical HPV infection.Methods Eighty patients with a positive acetowhite test and suspected subclinical HPV infection were selected from 272 patients with typical CA lesions in perianal and external genital region.Tissue specimens were obtained from typical CA and suspected subclinical HPV-infected lesions followed by pathological examination and HPV-DNA detection.Finally,71 patients were confirmed to suffer from both CA and subclinical HPV infection.A comparative analysis was performed to assess the differences in histopathological manifestation and HPV genotypes between CA and subclinical infection lesions.Results Pathological examination revealed typical histological changes of CA in 71(88.75％)typical CA specimens and 4(5％)suspected subclinical infection specimens,as well as squamous dysplasia in 9(11.25％)CA specimens and 71(88.75％)suspected subclinical infection specimens.HPV-DNA was positive in all(80)of the CA specimens and 93.75％(75)of the suspected subclinical infection specimens,negative in 5(6.25％)suspected subclinical infection specimens.Obvious differences were observed in pathological manifestation,koilocyte number(P ＜ 0.05),but not in the distribution of HPV subtypes(P ＞ 0.05),between typical CA and concurrent subclinical HPV infection lesions in patients.Conclusion The diagnosis of subclinical HPV infection should be based on the result of acetowhite test,with the results of pathological examination and HPV DNA detection as an adjuvant.

BACKGROUND:In vitro experiment has shown that the survival time of conventional chemical induction-induced neuron-like cells differentiated from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)was short,which limited its further application.With regard to the possibility of extension of iodine-induced neuron-like cells,the survival time has not yet been professionally reported.OBJECTIVE:To research the effects of the micro-element iodine on the survival time of neuron-like cells differentiated by BMSCs.METHODS:Rat mesenchymal stem cells at passage 3 were obtained under sterile condition,and divided into groups A-F.In group A,iodine ion was not added.In groups B-F,iodine ion at mass concentrations of 2,55,90,125 and 2 500 mg/L was added respectively.An additional blank control group was established,and simultaneously the cells were induced into neuron-like cells with dimethyl sulphoxide(DMSO).Cells following induction were subjected to immunohistochemistry.Survival time of neuron-like cells was observed under different mass concentrations of iodine ion.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:When mass concentrations of iodine ion were between 55-125 mg/L,the survival time of neuron-like cells prolonged to about 5 days and structures of induced cells were intact.From then on,the number of dead cells was gradually increased till approximately one week,all neuron-like cells died.When mass concentrations of iodine ion were 2 mg/L and 2 500 mg/L,cell survival time was from 12-36 hours.No significant difference was determined compared with group A.Till 2 or 3 days,all neuron-like cells died.Above-described results indicated that an appropriated concentration of iodine iron added in the common chemical induction may be benefit for the survival time of the neuron-like cells differentiated by BMSCs,but the effect may be negligible for the survival time of neuron-like cells induced when the added concentration of iodine iron is too low or too high.

1,3-propanediol is an important chemical used as building block for the synthesis of highly promising polyesters such as polytrimethylene terephthalate. A genetically modified Klebsiella pneumoniae LDH526 can use glycerol as sole carbon source and produce 1,3-propanediol with the titer above 90 g/L. A key factor affecting the production of 1,3-propanediol by the mutant K. pneumoniae is the accurate control of the feeding of glycerol. To generate a robust and reproducible fermentation process of 1,3-propanediol, we designed and optimized an automatically feeding strategy of glycerol based on fermentation kinetics. By coupling the substrate feeding rate with easily observed variables -pH and fermentation time, we have achieved self-starting glycerol feeding and dynamic control of the glycerol concentration during the fermentation process. This automated system allowed us to generate a reproducible, consistent and operator-independent process from lab-scale to production scale. The final concentration of 1,3-propanediol was above 95 g/L after 72 h.

BACKGROUND:Wnt signaling pathway is the key to regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation.The evidence suggests that this pathway participates in the neural precursor cell proliferation,differentiation and determination of the regulation of cell fate.At present,the Wnt signaling pathway effects on the mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)differentiated into neuron-like cells have not been reported.OBJECTIVE:To seek Wnt signal molecule that promotes the differentiation of MSCs into neuron-like cells.METHODS:MSCs were isolated from the femur of Sprague Dawley rats in vitro using the density gradient centrifugation,and then cultured.Following passage,cell surface markers CD29,CD44,CD34 and CD45 were measured using morphology and flow cytometry.These cells were selected and evaluated.Using neurotrophic factor and basic fibroblast growth factor combined with Wnt3a and Wnt5a induction scheme,effects of Wnt3a and Wnt5a during the differentiation of MSCs into neuron-like cells were compared utilizing immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Simple culture of basic fibroblast growth factor served as controls.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Following culture and passage of MSCs,cells adhered to the wall,showing even spindle shape.Flow cytometry showed great expression of CD29 and CD44 and low expression of CD34 and CD45.Following Wnt3a induction,cells were positive for nestin,neuron specific enolase,but no significantly expressed glial fibrillary acidic protein.Following induction,cell viability was good.In the Wnt5a induction and control groups,weakly positive expression of nestin was found,but neuron specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein were negative.RT-PCR results demonstrated that nestin expression was detected in the Wnt3a induction group before and after induction.Significant amplified bands for neuron specific enolase were detected at day 5 following induction,and became more significant at day 10.Weak bands for glial fibrillary acidic protein were visible at day 10 following induction.These indicated that Wnt3a can promote the differentiation of MSCs into neuron-like cells in vitro.
