Objective To investigate the characteristics, degradation and biocompatibility of a woven chitosan fiber (CF). Methods Scanning electron microscopic observation, deteronination of density, degree of swelling and tensile strength were performed to characterize the CF. In vitro degradation was observed by immersing CF in buffered aqueous solution of pH 6 containing lysozyme at 37 ℃, while in vivo degradation was studied after intramuscular implantation of CF in rats. Furthermore, rat mesenchymal stem cells were directly cultured on CF to estimate its toxicity. Results The diameter of CF was about 2000?63?m, with a sleek surface. The density and rate of swelling were 1.093?0.27g/cm3 and 2.30?0.21, respectively. The tensile strength was 80.18?1.56MPa. Specific viscosity, measured after the addition of lysozyme to the solution, decreased dramatically within 2 hours compared with that of the control mixture without enzyme. There was obvious inflammatory reaction after intramuscular implantation in the first week after surgery, bat inflammation subsided gradually. Biodegradation was not obvious within 4 weeks, but majority of it was absorbed in twelve weeks. Cells grew well on it with normal morphology, and no inhibition of cell proliferation could be observed. Conclusion Woven CF has a good tensile strength and fairly good biodegradation and biocompatibility, and it can be used in bone and cartilage tissue engineering.

Objective To investigate the status and influencing factors of knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP) about AIDS among the migrant miners in a nonferrous metal company of Anhui Province and to provide evidence for constituting strategies and measures for AIDS health education and behavioural intervention.Methods 303 migrant miners in a nonferrous metal company were surveyed.Univariate analysis,Logistic regression and correlation analysis were used to explore their influencing factors.Results The general rate of awareness of AIDS was 87.9%,and the main factor affecting miners knowledge level of AIDS was their educational level.Only 55.1% of migrant miners thought people with AIDS should not be isolated;50.8% of them would like to contact people with HIV;38.0% did not object to extramarital sex.There were 32(10.6%) migrant miners admitting having had extramarital sex in the recent three months,but 11(34.4%) admitted never having used condoms,only 7(21.9%) having used each time.Multivariate analysis identified the influencing factors for condom utilization including age and attitude to people with HIV/AIDS.Conclusions ①The migrant miners have sufficient knowledge about AIDS.②The traditional sexual beliefs are changing,and an increasing number of people are tolerant to extramarital sex.Consequently,it is likely that extramarital sex might rise.③The promotion of condom use should be strengthened.

AIM: To observe the inhibitory effect of interferon-α ( IFN-α) on the growth invasiveness and metastasis of human gastric carcinoma cell line BGC-823, and mechanism of its action. METHODS: We detected the influence of IFN-α on the proliferative ability of BGC-823 in cell culture system, the cell vitality with the MTT colorimetric assay, and the cell cycle with flow cytometer (FCM). The regulatory functions of IFN-α to the expression of E-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2) in tumor cells were estimated by immunohistochemical analysis ( S-P). The ultrastructural changes of the junction among the tumor cells were observed under electron microscope. RESULTS : IFN-α can significantly inhibit the growth of human gastric carcinoma cell line BGC-823 in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To investigate the systemic stress responses of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods Seventy patients with cholecystolithiasis were randomly divided into two groups: LC and open cholecystectomy(OC). Peripheral blood samples were obtained during the preoperative day and 1, 3, 5, 7 day after operation. Serum cytokines levels (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) and C-reactive protein(CRP) were measured. Results Changes of TNF-α and IL-1β before or after surgery in both groups showed no significant difference(P>0.05). Serum concentrations of IL-6 and CRP after surgery in both groups were significantly higher than those before surgery(P<0.05); but there were no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions The systemic stress responses of LC have no significant difference comparing with OC.

Aim To explore the anti-apoptotic function of cardiac progenitor cells(CPCs)-derived exosome in vitro.Method CPCs were isolated from mouse heart using Magnetic Cell Sorting(MACS)system.Flow Cy-tometry(FC)determine the purity of stem cell surface antigen-1 positive(Sca-1 +)CPCs.Exosome was puri-fied from conditional medium,and confirmed by West-ern blot using CD63 as a marker,Nanoparticle Traffic-king Analysis(NTA)was used to detect the diameters and concentration of exosome.Then the cells were di-vided into control groups and CPC-exosome pre-protec-tion groups.H2 O2 was added into H9c2 cells to induce oxidative stress.Western blot was adopted to determine the expression of cleaved caspase-3.Results ① Im-munofluorescence showed that CPCs isolated by MACS were positively expressing Sca-1 protein;FC analysis showed that typical purity of Sca-1 +CPCs from the first
preparations was more than 95%.② WB demonstrated that CD63 of exosome isolated from CCMwas positively expressed,and NTA results showed that the diameters of exosome were (82.33 ±3.06)nm(n =3).Micro-scope detected PKH-26 labeled exosome appeared in the cytoplasma of H9c2 cells.③ Western blot showed the CPC-exosome pre-protection groups significantly down-regulated the levels of cleaved caspase-3 com-pared to the control groups(P <0.05).Conclusion CPC can secrete exosome which carries many important cargos,which can effectively gather in H9c2 cells. CPC-exosome can protect H9c2 cells from the oxidative stress induced by H2 O2 .Our results highlight a new perspective strategy for cardiac disease.
