ObjectiveTo explore the effect and feasibility of autograft and allograft bone and cartilage transplantation.Methods63 rabbits were made experimental defect in the same side knee joint,and were divided randomly into group A(autograft group),group B(allograft group) and group C(control group).Group A was divided further into 2 column limiting motion subgroup(A2M group),not limiting motion subgroup(A2N group) and 4 column subgroup(A4M group).In the same way,group B was divided further into B2M group,B2N group and B4M group.Every subgroup included nine rabbits,and the transplantation was made in no weight-bear area of knee joint.The generally observation were made,the joint movable range and the thickness of the repairing tissue were measured,histology change of transplanted tissue(through light,electronic microscope)were observed.ResultsGroup A had a satisfactory result,and the result of no limiting groups were better.The result of A4M group was better than A2M group (P≤0.05).The result of group B was not good.ConclusionThe bone-cartilage column of small diameter and general number are beneficial in repairing the defect of joint cartilage.The allograft bone and cartilage transplantation can cause seriously immunoreaction and the absorption of cartilage pole,and is detrimental to repair the defect of joint cartilage.

ObjectiveTo apply the Schwann cell neurilemma channel(SCNC) in promoting the regeneration of injuried spinal cord.MethodsSpinal cords of rats after laminectomy at T8/9 were divided in 3 groups randomly: 10 rats were transplanted with SCNC(Group A);10 rats only made models(Group B);10 rats were as normal control group(Group C).All rats received behaviour survey and inclined plane test every week 8 weeks after operation.6 weeks after operation,they were measured with cortical somatosensory evoked potential(CSEP).And 8 weeks after operation,all specimens were studied histologically.ResultsCSEP could be recorded in group A and C,but not in group B.There were marked differenties between group A or C and group B in behavior survey,inclined plane test.Amount of nerve fibers regenerated through the injury gap in group A was significantly larger than that in group B.ConclusionSCNC could facilitate axonal regeneration and promote the repairing of injuried spinal cord.

ObjectiveTo study the feasibility and stability of hepatocellular carcinoma model established in mouse with the guidance of ultrasound, and to explore the value of ultrasonography in hepatocellular carcinoma model.MethodsThe type of H22 cells, whose concentration was 2×107/ml, were injected into the left liver of 30 mice with the guidance of ultrasound. After injection, the mice were examined by ultrasound on the tenth and twentieth day, and implemented laparotomy on the twentieth day. The tumors were examined pathologically. The formation rate and growth of tumors were evaluated, and the ultrasonic features of tumors were observed.ResultsThe formation rate of implanted tumors was 96.7% (29/30), and the peritumoral blood flow could be detected. The diameters measured by ultrasound and explorative laparotomy were (8.4±0.3) mm and (8.6±0.2) mm, respectively (P>0.05). The pathological examination showed that the tumors were hepatocellular carcinoma.ConclusionEstablishing mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma by ultrasound-guided is simple and minimally invasive, and it provides an ideal model of high formation rate for the study of hepatocellular carcinoma.
