BACKGROUND:The methods used to repair articular cartilage defects currently have the cons and pros. Fibrocartilages are commonly used to repair tissues, and the fibrocartilage lacks of the tissue biomechanical properties and chemical properties of normal hyaline cartilage. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of biological osteochondral xenogenic graft transplantation to repair articular cartilage defects. METHODS:The normal goats were randomly divided into two groups. The donor pig knee joints were the experimental group. Cylindrical osteochondral with the diameter of 4.5 mm and length of 10 mm were col ected with the Smith&Nephew osteochondral transplantation device, and the patented technology was used for deantigen. The donor goat knee joint osteochondrals were the control group and preserved with cryopreservation. The lesions on femoral trochlea and weight-bearing surface of medial condyle were selected respectively for osteochondral implantation, and the animals were sacrificed at 16 and 32 weeks after operation for the general and pathological section observation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:General observation in the experimental showed that the lesions were covered by fibroid tissue;some cartilage of the grafts turned yel ow and there was clear boundary between the surface and the peripheral cartilages;the general and section observation under microscope showed that lesions of the control group were covered by the grafts basical y, and cracks could be seen on the edge of the transplant part. The results show that there is difference between effects of biological osteochondral xenogenic graft transplantation and osteochondral al ograft transplantation for the repairing of articular cartilage defects, and osteochondral al ograft transplantation bas better effect.

BACKGROUND: Scholars have been trying to create a microenvironment similar to the human body, which can induce the directional differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells from human bone marrow, placenta and umbilical cord blood. OBJECTIVE: To compare the neuronal differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, human placental mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells induced by co-culture with nerve cells. METHODS: Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, human placental mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells cultured in vitro were co-cultured with nerve cells using the Transwell system. The morphological changes of three kinds of cells in the co-culture system were detected. After co-culture for4-5 days, immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the expression of neuron-specific enolase in cells. Mesenchymal stem cells only cultured in low glucose DMEM medium were used as controls. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: These three kinds of mesenchymal stem cells were extended, and interconnected processes were detective. The positive expression of neuron-specific enolase was highest in the human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells followed by human placental mesenchymal stem cells and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in order. In the control group, none of the three kinds of mesenchymal stem cells have neuronal morphology, and the expression of neuron specific enolase was negative for the immunofluorescence staining. To conclude, microenvironment provided by nerve cells can induce these three kinds of mesenchymal stem cells todifferentiate into neurons.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP).Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with AIP who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Tianjin Medical University between January 2009 and December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients received the test of serum γ-globulin and IgG4 and abdominal imaging examination.The revised HISORt or results of postoperative pathological examination were performed as diagnostic criteria.Patients who were unable to tolerate surgery were treated by oral prednisone.The focal masses were apparent in the pancreas by imaging examination,which cannot exclude the possibility of malignancy because of ambiguous pathologic characters of masses.Patients who received ineffective hormonal therapy and were able to tolerate surgery underwent surgery.All the patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview up to December 2014.Results Primary symptoms:jaundice was detected in 16 patients,obvious weight loss (weight loss ＞ 10％ standard body mass) in 4 patients,chronic diarrhea (duration of diarrhea ＞ 2 months or 2 weeks ＜ duration of intermittent diarrhea ＜ 4 weeks) in 3 patients and abdominal pain in 2 patients.Abnormal level of serum γ-globulin and increasing level of IgG4 were detected in 13 and 1 pateints.The results of imaging examinations showed that pancreatic masses,stenosis of bile duct and extrapancreactic organ involvement were detected in 19,6 and 11 patients.Of 25 patients with AIP,10 underwent conservative treatment without adverse reaction and 15 underwent surgical treatment,including 13 of 15 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and 2 of 15 patients undergoing resection of the body and tail of the pancreas + splenectomy.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss and postoperative recovery time of gastrointestinal function in 15 patients undergoing surgery were (271 ±59) minutes,(268 ± 109) mL and (3.8 ± 1.2)days.After operation,2 patients were complicated with abdominal infection and had remission of symptoms by symptomatic treatment,including 1 with pancreatic fistula and 1 with delayed gastric emptying.The duration of hospital stay of 15 patients undergoing surgery was (11.5 ± 2.9)days.The results of postoperative pathological examination showed that there were central acinar atrophy,extensive fibrosis,lymphoplasmacytic cell infiltration,nerve tissue surrounded by the plasma cell lymphoma and obstructive phlebitis.The absolute value of positive cells of IgG4 was more than 50 high power field and number of positive cells of IgG4 was more than positive cells of 40％ IgG.Twenty-five patients were followed up for a median time of 27 months (range,6-47months).Nineteen patients had remission of symptoms at month 6 after treatment with normal level of serum γ-globulin and IgG4 and without recurrence of pancreatic masses,including 7 receiving conservative treatment and 12 receiving surgical treatment.Conclusions The clinical signs of AIP are jaundice,abnormal serum γglobulin and pancreatic masses which are found by imaging examination.Surgery is safe and effective for the treatment of AIP,while surgical indications should be strictly followed because of the surgical trauma.

Objective To study the feasibility and early efficacy of matrix?induced autologous chondrocyte implantation repairing knee joint cartilage injury. Methods The Matrix?induced autologous chondrocyte implantation was used to repair knee joint cartilage injury in 13 cases (11 males and 2 females) with knee joint cartilage injury from April 2012 to March 2013. The av?erage age was 27.5 years old. All cases were suffering from unilateral focal cartilage defect of knee joint with International Carti?lage Repair Society (ICRS) chondral defect classification system grade III or IV, visual analogue scale (VAS)>3, and all of which had corresponding pain symptoms. The average defect area was 4.2 cm2. Standardized rehabilitation exercise was carried out after matrix?induced autologous chondrocyte implantation. Patients were followed up for 1 years, and knee injury and use osteoarthritis outcome score(KOOS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), subjective knee form and Lysholm score were col?lected to assess the function. Meanwhile, magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score was used to assess the magnetic resonance imaging. Results All patients had been followed?up for 1 year. One patient had meniscus repair under arthroscopy for the meniscus injury caused by downstairs sprain in 6.5 months postoperative, so the score of 12 months post?operative was excluded. The knee range of motion was decreased in 3 months postoperative (123.1°±8.0°) compared to preopera?tive one (135.4°±5.7°), and has no difference in 6 months (136.1°±6.1°) and 12 months postoperative (135.1°±3.6°) compared to preoperative one. The 5 subsets of KOOS score were decreased in 3 months compared to preoperative one, and were significantly increased in 6 months and 12 months. The IKDC has no difference in 3 months (26.1±3.9) compared to preoperative one (43.5± 6.5), and were significantly increased in 6 months (53.3±5.8) and 12 months (62.8±7.2) compared to preoperative one. The magnet?ic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score was increased in 12 month(73.3±17.9)compared to preopera?tive one(51.5 ± 12.6). Conclusion MACI is a good technology for knee joint cartilage injury. It has a good clinical effect on re? pairing cartilage injury effectively and restoring the function of knee joint.

Purpose: Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B) serves as a key component of autophagy,which is associated with the progression of carcinoma. Yet, it is still unclear whetherLC3B is also an independent risk factor for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). We aimto explore the predictive value of LC3B on prognosis of ICC, and to establish a novel andavailable nomogram to predict relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) for thesepatients after curative-intent hepatectomy. Materials and Methods: From August 2004 to March 2017, 105 ICC patients were eligibly enrolled in the ThirdAffiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Preoperative clinical information of enrolledpatients was collected. Expression LC3B in the ICC specimen was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: The 5-year RFS and OS in this cohort were 15.7% and 29.6%, respectively. On multivariateCox regression analysis, independent risk factors for 5-year OS were cancer antigen 125,microvascular invasion, LC3B expression and lymph node metastasis. Except for the above4 factors, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and tumor differentiation were independent factorsfor 5-year RFS. The area under the curve of nomograms for OS and RFS were 0.820 and0.747, respectively. Conclusion The nomograms based on LC3B can be considered as effective models to predict postoperativesurvival for ICC patients.

Objectives:To evaluate and predict the risk for in-hospital mortality in elderly patients receiving cardiac valvular surgery preferably,we developed a new prediction model using machine learning. Methods:Clinical data including baseline characteristics,peri-operative data and primary endpoint of 7 163 elderly patients aged 65 years or older undergoing cardiac valvular surgery from January 2016 to December 2018 from 87 hospitals were collected from the Chinese Cardiac Surgery Registry(CCSR).Patients from January 2016 to June 2018 were assigened to the training cohort(n=5 774)and patients from July to December 2018 were assigened to the validation cohort(n=1 389).The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality.Machine learning algorithms were used to analyze risk factors and develop prediction model. Results:Overall in-hospital mortality was 4.1%.Linear discriminant analysis(LDA),support vector classification(SVC)and logistic regression(LR)models in the training cohort all have high AUCs and low Brier scores,with good discrimination and calibration.In validation cohort,the AUC of LDA,SVC and LR were 0.744,0.744 and 0.746 respectively,which were significantly better than that of 0.642 using the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II(EuroSCORE II)model(P<0.05). Conclusions:The mortality rate for elderly patients undergoing cardiac valvular surgery is relatively high.LDA,SVC and LR can predict the risk for in-hospital mortality in elderly patients receiving cardiac valvular surgery with high accuracy.
