Diseases of glucose and lipid metabolism disorder,presented rather complicated pathological mechanism,often with clinical pattern of multiple concurrent diseases.Therefore,the traditional single-disease based on treatment methods need improving.In view of plenty of clinical practice,theatrical and fundamental researches,the pathological mechanisms of some chronic disorders,such as hyperlipidemia,nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,type 2 diabetes,hypertension,atherosclerosis and severe cardiovascular complications,resulted from the impairment in the metabolism of glucose and lipid were investigated using the method of integrated Chinese and western medicine.Overall,the features of these diseases and their common characteristics were discovered,and accordingly we defined the new concept of glucolipid metabolic disease (GLMD) and put forward the concept of pivot liver of metabolic regulation system.In addition,we developed the therapeutic strategy of modulating liver,starting pivot and cleaning turbidity,for the comprehensive and integrated treatment and prevention of these diseases.The theory of GLMD shared the critical characteristics with precision medicine,taking its own specialty.Finally,the content and approaches for the research of GLMD were proposed,and some essential and core fields in the precision medical research for GLMD were profoundly analyzed and prospected.

BACKGROUND:Fibrin glue is a natural biodegradable scaffold, which can be used for tissue-engineered scaffolds, and is increasingly used as seed cel carrier for tissue engineering repair. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biocompatibility in vitro of rabbit fascia fibroblasts and fibrin glue. METHODS:Tissue explants adherent method was used to culture fibroblasts from subcutaneous deep fascia tissue of New Zealand white rabbits. The fibroblasts could be passaged with trypsin digestion method. Suspension of passage four fibroblasts was co-cultured with fibrin glue. Morphology and proliferation of fibroblasts on the surface of fibrin glue were dynamical y observed under the inverted phase contrast microscope. At 5 days after co-culture, fibroblasts were identified by immunofluorescence staining under the laser scanning confocal microscope. The fibroblast growth and adhesion were observed under the scanning electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in fibroblast morphology between co-culture fibroblasts and pure culture fibroblasts with inverted phase contrast microscope. Scanning electron microscope demonstrated that fibroblasts ful y extended in fibrin glue surface, and showed a good adhesion between the“pseudopodium”and fibrin glue, and secreted matrix material. It is clear that the fibrin glue did not alter the morphologic features of fibroblasts. Laser scanning confocal microscope revealed that fibroblasts were positive for vimentin. These verified that properties of fibroblasts did not change after they were seeded in fibrin glue surface and did not be induced to differentiate. There is a very good biocompatibility between fascia fibroblasts and fibrin glue in vitro.

Objective To study the effect of repairment of articular cartilage defects in non weight-bearing area of rabbit with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seeded on human acellular amniotic membrane (HAAM).Methods From July 2012 to March 2013,bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and purified from rabbit in vitro.The cells were seeded on human acellular anniotic membrane at the concentration of 1.63 × l05/cm2.From 7 days to 8 days after cultured,the complexes of BMSC and HAAM were examined under electronmicroscope,light microscope and by HE stain.Full thickness empty defects measuring 4 mm in diameter by 3 mm depth were prepared in femoral intercondylar fossa of 24 rabbits.The rabbits were randomized into two groups:group A and group B with 12 each group.The defects of right knees were served as control and the left as experimental group.BMSCs/HAAM composite was cultured and then transplanted into the defect of left knee joint in group A as group BMSCs/HAAM and HAAM into group B as group HAAM.These rabbits were killed at 4 and 12 weeks after surgery in each group and the newly cartilage samples were evaluated grossly,histologically are graded.Results In the 4th and 12th week after the operation,the regenerated tissue were white,soft and smooth.Chondrocytes were found in the tissue In the 12th week,the morphology,distribution and arrangement of the regenerated tissues were similar to normal cartilage in the knees with HAAM-BMSCs transplantation.The regenerated tissues grew to be integrated with the surrounding normal cartilage with obscure boundary between them.Chondrocytes were found in all layer of the tissue,surrounding normal cartilage with obscure boundary between them.In the HAAM transplantation,the rough surface of regenerated tissue sunk obviously and the fibmblasts in all layer were found.While there were no regenerated tissue in the control side.Conclusion BMSCs seeded on HAAM could repair the articular cartilage defects of femoral intercondylar fossa from rabbits.

BACKGROUND: A discussion is ongoing whether the elderly patients with femoral neck fractures should be treated with a non-cemented or a cemented hemiarthroplasty.OBJECTIVE: To evaluated the results of cemented hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures in the patients older than 85 years with high-risk clinical problems and functional outcomes.METHODS: Thirty-two patients with femoral neck fractures were treated with cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty. X-ray examination after operation was done at 1, 3 and 6 months and annually in all patients. The mean follow-up period was 2 to 5 years.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Medical complications occurred in five patients (16%) and four patients (25%) died within the follow-up period. Dislocation occurred in one patient (3%). None of the patients had heterotopic ossification. The mean Harris-hip score was 84. Cemented hemiarthroplasty can provide stability, security and good outcomes for the treatment of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that chitosan and other natural polysaccharides have heparin-like anticoagulant function after sulfonated modification. Sulfonated chitosan has good anticoagulant property because the sulfonate group formed by sulfonated chitosan is similar with the active group of heparin. OBJECTIVE: To prepare the anticoagulant chitosan nanoparticles and to detect its morphology, physical and chemical properties and biological security. METHODS: Chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized by emulsion-chemical cross link. Sulfonated chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized by sulfonation reaction. Its morphology was described by transmission electron microscope. The peak-value change of its specific groups was observed by infrared spectroscopy. (1) Coagulation experiment: Heparin, chitosan nanoparticles and 10, 30 and 50 mg of sulfonated chitosan nanoparticles were added into the blood of Spraque-Dawley rats. The coagulation indicators were detected. (2) Hemolysis experiment: deionized water, physiological saline and 10, 30, 50 g/L sulfonated chitosan nanoparticles extracts were added into 2% red blood cel suspension of rabbits. The hemolysis rate was detected. (3) Cytotoxicity experiments: DMEM medium containing fetal bovine serum and 10, 30, 50 g/L sulfonated chitosan nanoparticle extracts were used to culture human umbilical vein endothelial cels. Cel relative growth rate and toxicity grading were detected after 72 hours. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Scanning electron microscopy showed that sulfonated chitosan nanoparticles had good morphology, with a diameter of 50 nm. Infrared spectroscopy showed that the sulfonated replacement occurred.In vitro coagulation experiments showed that sulfonated chitosan nanoparticles had significant anticoagulant effects in a dose-dependent manner. Sulfonated chitosan nanoparticles meet the national safety standard for hemolysis rate of less than 5%, non-induced hemolysis property. Cytotoxicity assays showed that sulfonated chitosan nanoparticles extracts had no significant cytotoxicity, and its biological safety was in line with the national standards.

Objective:To study the protective effect of platelet-rich plasma on never function in the rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI),and to clarify its mechanisms. Methods:Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into sham group (opened skull bone window only),TBI group and platelet-rich plasma treatment group (PRP group) (n=20).The rats in PRP group were injected with platelet-rich plasma through vessel on the 1st day,the 2nd day and the 6th day after operation while the rats in sham group and TBI group were treated with saline at the same time.The neurological function defects were assessed with modified neurological severity score (mNSS)on the 1st, 3rd and 7th after operation.Then 10 rats were taken from each group and executed,and the brain tissues were taken.The brain sections were prepared for the histological observation and the others of each group were tested with Morris water maze.Results:Compared with sham group,the mNSS scores of the rats in TBI and PRP group were increased (P <0.05);the mNSS score of the rats in PRP group was decreased compared with TBI group (P <0.05).The injured volume of rat brain tissue was reduced significantly in PRP treated group compared with TBI group (P <0.05).The Nissl staining results showed that the injury area in PRP group had a more neat rows and a larger number of new blood vessels compared with TBI group.The immunohistochemical staining results showed the injured area had a higher level expression of GFAP+ cells in TBI group compared with PRP group,but the amount of neuN+ cells was smaller than that in PRP group (P <0.05).The Morris water maze test results showed that there were a shorter escape latency time,more times acrossing platform and a larger swimming time during platform quadrant in PRP group compared with TBI group (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Platelet-rich plasma has a significant role in protecting the neurological function of TBI rats.

BACKGROUND: An important development orientation of osteomyelitis treating is to prepare a drug delivery system which has the characteristics of excellent biocompatibility, degradable, lengthen drug-released time, source sufficient, as well as use security. Alginate and chitosan can be used as drug delivery system due to the superordlnary biological properties. OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and safety of alginate/chitosan incorporated vancomycin (VCM/ACA) as release carrier, in addition, to compare the difference from systematic injection. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An in vivo drug concentration determination, matching grouping experiment. The experiment was performed at the animal and orthopedics laboratories, Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University from August 2008 to March 2009. MATERIALS: The alginate solution and vancocin solution was uniform mixed followed by adding CaCO_3 and citrate sodium solution, then the mixed liquor was prepared for vancocin-calcium alginate gel beads with microcapsule preparation instrument. After that, the vancocin-calcium alginate gel beads were reacted with chitosan/vancocin mixed liquor and cellulose acetate to prepare for VCM/ACA release carrier. METHODS: Forty rabbits were prepared for middle of left femur bone defect models, and then randomized divided into 2 groups, with 20 animals in each group. In the local medication group, VCM/ACA release carrier was inlaid to the defects. In the systemic administration group, rabbits were intravenous injected 10% vancocin (10 mg/kg). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The drug concentrations in the serum and bone tissues of the local medication group was detected by high performance liquid chromatograph at hours 0.5, 1, 6, 24, 72 and weeks 1, 2 after operation. In the systemic administration group, the drug concentrations in the serum, bone and muscle tissues were measured at minute 10 and hours 0.5, 1, 6, 24, and 72 after operation. In addition, histological sections of body tissues were prepared to look for signs of systemic toxicity of the implants. RESULTS: The serum drug concentrations of the systemic administration group were obvious greater than the local medication group at each time points prior to 24 hours, which less than the local medication group at hour 24. The drug concentration in bone and muscle tissues of local medication group were significant greater than the systemic administration group at different time points, which sustained for at least 2 weeks, while serum concentration in the systemic administration group was much lower than minimum inhibitory concentration after 24 hours. However, no multiple tissues revealed histological evidence of toxicity. CONCLUSION: There has feasibility and safety in vivo in course of ALM/VCM release carrier, which has superior effect to systemic administration.

OBJECTIVETo determine the optimal fertilization method for primary infertility patients without definite causes undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryos transfer (IVF-ET).

METHODSA total of 321 IVF-ET cycles for primary infertility without definite causes were divided into two groups, namely group A with infertility period ≥ 5 years (165 cycles) and group B with infertility period <5 years (156 cycles). Each group was further divided into IVF, ICSI, and partial ICSI subgroups. The fertilization rate, incidence of low fertilization rate and clinical pregnancy rate were analyzed.

RESULTSThe fertilization rate of IVF in group A was 67.5%, significantly lower than that of ICSI and partial ICSI in the same group (82.0% and 77.7% respectively) and that in IVF control group (76.3%, P<0.05). The incidence of low fertilization rate of IVF in group A was 33.3%, significantly lower than that of ICSI and partial ICSI (8.3% and 15.8%, P<0.05); in group B, the incidence of low fertilization rate of IVF was 12.3%, significantly lower than that of IVF in group A but showed no significant differences from that of ICSI and partial ICSI in group B (P>0.05). In group A, IVF resulted in a significantly lower clinical pregnancy rate (21.1%) than ICSI (43.3%, P<0.05), half ICSI (40.0%, P<0.05), IVF in the control group (48%, P<0.05), and IVF in group B (50.0%, P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONICSI treatment can increase the fertilization rate in IVF-ET cycles in patients with primary infertility for unknown causes, and may improve the clinical outcome of patients with long infertility period.
