Decellularized tissues and organs have been widely used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. The efficiency of cell removal from a tissue depends on the origin of the tissue and the methods applied. Each of these treatment affects the biochemical composition, tissue ultrastructure, and mechanical behavior of the remaining scaffold, which in turn, affect the host response to the material. Herein, we made a review about the most commonly used decellularization methods and their effects upon biologic scaffolds.

Objective To observe and analyse the application effect and value of problem based learning (PBL) combined evidence-based learning (EBL) in emergency medicine clinical teaching.Methods A total of 53 clinical medicine students were selected.The combined teaching method was applied in emergency clinical teaching.After the end of the teaching,the teaching effectiveness survey and theory test of the combined teaching group was performed,and the theory test scores was compared with the traditional teaching group.Results The combined teaching method could stimulate learning enthusiasm,improve learning efficiency,the abilities of selfstudy,literature retrieval,and the ability to analyze and solve problems.77.4％ of students thought this new teaching method had good application value in clinical teaching.Furthermore,the excellent rate of the theory test scores combined teaching group was better than traditional teaching group (41.5％ vs 15.6％,x2 =7.868,P =0.007).Conclusions The PBL joint EBL pedagogy can overcome diadvantages of tradional teaching and provide higher interest,ability of self-study as well as higher teaching quality of the medical students.It will be worth to spread in medical clinical teaching.

Objective To analyze the survival statistics and perioperative parameters of clinical stage Ⅰ non-small cell lung cancer patients who received systemic or selective mediastinal lymphadenectomy,and explore the value of selective mediastinal lymphadenectomy for clinical stage Ⅰ non-small cell lung cancer.Methods The clinical data of 984 patients with clinical stage Ⅰ non-small cell lung cancer who underwent lobectomy and systemic/selective lymph node dissection in Zhongshan Hospital from January 2005 to December 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 581 males and 403 females with an average age of(59.6 ± 10.2) (24-84) years.786 patients received systemic mediastinal lymphadenectomy,and 198 patients received selective mediastinal lymphadenectomy.Results Average operation time of selective mediastinal lymphadenectomy group was(132.3 ±30.3) minutes,and that of systemic mediastinal lymphadenectomy group was(150.7 ±41.8) minutes with significant difference(P ＜ 0.01).Average amount of intraoperative bleeding of selective mediastinal lymphadenectomy group was (96.2 ± 53.5) ml,and that of systemic mediastinal lymphadenectomy group was (124.4 ± 65.4) ml with significant difference(P ＜0.01).There was no significant difference in overall survival rate between two groups(P =0.844).Recurrence rates were 25.3 ％ and 27.5 ％,respectively (P =0.533).Subgroup analysis showed no significant difference of 5-year survival rates between the two groups.Conclusion For patients with clinical stage Ⅰ non-small cell lung cancer,selective mediastinal lymphadenectomy can reduce operation time and amount of intraoperative bleeding.Survival of patients who received selective mediastinal lymphadenectomy was no worse than that of patients who received systemic mediastinal lymphadenectomy.

Anthrax is a fulminating infectious disease .Bacillus anthracis, as the pathogen of anthrax , is a potential ma-terial for biological warfare agents and biological terrors .Immunoprophylaxis and specific theraphies play key roles in cop-ing with anthrax threats.Researches on the mechanism of B.anthracis infection, especially the process of infection , can fa-cilitate the development of novel drugs for anthrax prevention and therapy .Herein, by reviewing research progress , the in-fection process of B.anthracis is introduced and the potential mechanism of anthrax infection is described .Furthermore, the relationship between researches on anthrax infection mechanisms and the development of drugs for anthrax prevention and therapy is also discussed .

The RD-1 locus has been considered crucial in the pathogenesis of M.tuberculosis, the RD-1 locus is 9.5 kb and spanning open reading frames Rv3871 to Rv3879c encoding 9 different proteins separately.The RD-1 locus is missing in all bacillus Calmette-Guerin(BCG) strains, and is one of the key virulence factor in M.tuberculosis.The RD-1 locus participates in a new secreting system named ESX-1, which can facilitate the secretion of some special proteins.The two important proteins encoded by the RD-1 locus named CFP-10 and ESAT-6 can form a tight 1∶1 complex, and has been shown to be coordinately secreted and lead to a strong T cell response, which suggests that these two proteins may act as ideal target antigens in diagnosis and prevention of tuberculosis(TB).

Recently the research of vaccines and drugs against anthrax is one of hot spots. The efficacy of anthrax vaccines and drugs can't be experimented in human, therefore the testing model is very important. The cell models mainly include CHO and J774A.1. Now, various kinds of animals including mice, rats, rabbits, and nonhuman primates were experimented as animal models. Because the models are different, the results of experiments are significantly different, sometimes they are contrary. Many experiments of Bacillus anthracis in different cell and animal models are reviewed, and the principles of choosing animal models of anthrax are discussed. In order to analyze the different results of experiments in different models, the pathogenesis of Bacillus anthracis and the researching progress of anthrax vaccines and drugs are also simply introduced .

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Methods The clinical data of 2 children with eosinophilic gastroenteritis was retrospectively analyzed. Results Eosinophilia was found in both cases and path-ological examination indicated eosinophil infiltration in intestinal mucosa. The clinical symptoms were improved after hypoaller-genic diet, amino acid formula and anti-allergy treatment. Conclusions Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is characterized by eosino-phil infiltration with unknown pathogenic factor leading the treatment of eosinophilic gastroenteritis lacking of sound evidence.

BACKGROUND: Precise clinical treatment of talar ischemic necrosis remains controversial at present.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes in the stress and its distribution on talar trochlear articular surface in case of talar necrosis at different levels.METHODS: The present study adopted eight ankle specimens to establish the three-dimensional finite element model of ankle. Through changes in the talar necrosis volume of these models, this study analyzed the change law of talar trochlear articular surface stress and its distribution and calculated the critical necrosis volume of traumatic foot and ankle arthritis or talar collapse that may be induced by talar ischemic necrosis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The experiment successfully established the three-dimensional finite element model of ankle. This study found that talar trochlear articular surface stress distribution showed little change in case of talar medial and lateral necrosis at a lower level; when medial talar necrosis volume reached (26.6±1.5)%, and lateral talar necrosis volume reached (35.0±2.5)%. Stress concentration phenomenon occurred in the boundary area between talar necrosis tissue and normal osseous tissue, and the stress area took the shape of irregular pattern. It is suggested that surgical treatment should be considered due to the high-risk induction of ankle-foot traumatic arthritis or talar collapse.

Objective To analyze the safety, feasibility and operative technique details of non-grasping en bloc mediastinal lymph nodes dissection technique in uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery(VATS) for lung cancer.Methods From April, 2014 to March, 2015,46 patients with lung cancer received non-grasping en bloc mediastinal lymph nodes dissection after uniportal VATS lobectomy.Clinical data of the cases were analyzed retrospectively.There were 19 males and 27 females.The age was(57.2 ± 9.0) (38-73) years.The first 6 cases were performed in the lateral decubitus position while the later 40 cases were all performed in the semiprone position.Results All cases accepted uniportal VATS non-grasping en bloc mediastinal lymph nodes dissection successfully.Arm fatigue of surgeon and assistant was obviously relieved when the patient was placed in the semiprone position.The thoracic drainage time was(3.2 ± 2.1) (1-12)days and the postoperative length of hospital-stay was(6.0 ± 4.5) (2-27) days.The number of dissected mediastinal lymph nodes stations was (4.3 ± 0.8) (3-6)and the number of dissected mediastinal lymph nodes was (11.8 ± 4.9) (4-30).There were 42 cases with stage No , lease wit stage N1, and 3 cases with stage N2 in pathological examination.Five patients developed minor postoperative complications.No perioperative death occurred.Conclusion Uniportal VATS non-grasping en bloc mediastinal lymph nodes dissection for lung cancer was safe and feasible, which could decrease the interference of the instruments and help to keep the surgical field clear.Non-grasping en bloc mediastinal lymph nodes dissection would be performed more smoothly in the semiprone position with less damage to lung and better ergonomics.
