Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(14):-
Skin can maintain homeostasis and prevent from microorganisms, the loss of skin barrier may be related to many local or general infections after trauma. Biological dressing can seal trauma wound as soon as possible, reduce the risk of infections resulted from pathogenic bacteria on trauma wound, and increase the survival rate of severe patients. Biological dressing is a hot topic in the application researches about the healing of skin trauma wound. An ideal biological dressing is satisfactory in histocompatibility, permeability, gas permeation, and mechanical function. It can control and absorb the effusion on trauma wound, prohibit bacterial invasion and induce bacteriostasis, protect new tissues and facilitate trauma healing, so as to provide a micro-wet, micro acid and hypoxic environment for the trauma. At present, the biological dressings for the skin trauma mainly include pigskin, amnion, collagen, chitosan, alginic acid, aquogel and nano-dressing, etc.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of Mfn2(mitofusin 2) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and non-cancerous lung tissues,and analyze its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics of lung carcinomas.Methods:The expressions of Mfn2 mRNA and protein in 92 cases of NSCLC tissues and 27 cases of non-cancerous lung tissues were detected by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical methods. Results:The positive rates of Mfn2 mRNA and protein in pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma were higher than those in adenocarcinoma (83.33% and 89.58% vs 56.82% and 65.91%), respectively. The positive rates of Mfn2 mRNA and protein in NSCLC were higher than those in the non-cancerous lung tissues (25.93% and 29.63%) . The difference was statistically significant among the three groups (P<0.001 and P<0.01). The expressions of Mfn2 mRNA and protein in well-differentiated (93.75% and 100%) and moderately-differentiated NSCLC (91.67% and 91.67%) were higher than those in poor-diffe-rentiated NSCLC (21.43% and 42.86%). The difference was significant (P<0.001). The expressions of Mfn2 mRNA and protein had no correlation with the gender, age, tumor size, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (P>0.05). The expression of Mfn2 mRNA was consistent with that of Mfn2 protein in NSCLC.Conclusion:Mfn2 was involved in the initiation and progression of lung cancer, and the expression of Mfn2 was related to the histological types of lung cancer and its differentiation degree.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between quartz's deposit and expression of NF-κB in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lung tissues in Xuanwei, Yunnan Province, and to clarify the role of quartz in Xuanwei NSCLC's carcinogenic mechanism. Methods As research objects, the lung tissues of NSCLC and lung benign lesions after surgical resection were collected from July 2009 to September 2015 at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University. Firstly, the transmission electron microscopic (TEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDS) was used for observation of crystalline deposit and local pathological changes. Secondly, expression level of NF-κB had been analysed and a correlation analysis with particle size of SiO2 crystal in the same lung sample was made. Results The occurrence rates of quartz in Xuanwei NSCLC lung tissues were above non-Xuanwei NSCLC and benign lung tissues (P<0.01);the average particle size of SiO2 crystal was (226 ± 120) nm × (237 ± 163) nm in Xuanwei NSCLC group and it was smaller than the other two groups; In Xuanwei NSCLC group, the expression level of NF-κB was significantly higher than non-Xuanwei and benign lung tissues (P< 0.01), but there was no significant difference between cancer tissues and normal lung tissues in the group (P>0.05). The expression level of NF-κB was generally increasing when quartz 's size became smaller. Conclusion Quartz 's deposit may play a certain role in carcinogenic mechanism of lung cancer in Xuanwei, the smaller the particle size, the greater the cytotoxicity.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of low-dose and standard-dose intravenous alteplase for acute ischemic stroke. Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous alteplase from August 2012 to January 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the dosage of the drug, the patients were divided into either a low-dose group (0. 6-0. 8 mg/kg) or a standard-dose group (0. 9 mg/kg). The efficacy was evaluated with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days, and a favorable functional outcome was defined as mRS 0-1. The safety was evaluated by the mortality at 90 days and the incidence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) within 7 d after onset. Results A total of 790 patients were enrolled, including 612 in the low-dose group and 178 in the standard-dose group. There was no significant difference in each baseline clinical data between the 2 groups. Compared with the standard-dose group, there was no significant difference in the good outcome rate of the small-dose group at day 90 (35. 6% vs. 37. 6% ; χ2 = 0. 872, P = 0. 35) and mortality (5. 1% vs. 6. 2% ;χ2 = 2. 173, P = 0. 14), but the incidence of SICH was significantly lower (1. 8% vs. 5. 1% ; χ2 = 5. 875, P =0. 015). Conclusion The efficacy of low-dose intravenous alteplase for acute ischemic stroke is equivalent to the standard-dose and the safety is better.

Lidamycin (LDM) is a potent antitumor antibiotic. Previous studies have shown that LDM could inhibit proliferation and migration in endothelial cells. In the present report, the effect of LDM on angiogenesis of zebrafish embryo was studied. The results showed that treatment of zebrafish embryos with LDM resulted in significant inhibition of angiogenesis. Morphological observation, quantitative endogenous alkaline phosphatase (EAP) assay, alkaline phosphatase staining, and transgenic zebrafish assay were performed to evaluate vascular development defects in zebrafish. The results indicated that after the zebrafish embryos were exposed to LDM, angiogenesis defects of zebrafish embryos were observed, including pericardial edema, reduced numbers of circulating red blood cells, suppression of zebrafish vessel growth, and absences of SIV (subintestinal vein). The expression of VEGF was detected by RT-PCR assay, quantitative reverse transcriptase real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay and Western blotting analysis. The results revealed that LDM could inhibit the expression of VEGF protein, while the expression of mRNA was not significantly affected. The study suggests that LDM could inhibit the zebrafish embryo angiogenesis by down-regulation ofVEGF expression.
