BACKGROUND:Compared with single or composite biomolecular materials, decellulazied matrices are more biomimetic to natural ectocytic surroundings. So cel-secreted extracellular matrix is paid more and more attention in the field of tissue engineering, and the composition of these matrices are influenced by decellulezired preparation methods more or less. But there are few studies about the biological effect of different decellulazried methods on the extracellular matrix. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the composition of cel-secreted extracellular matrices in vitro by different decellularizing methods and their effects as surface modification on cytobiological reaction. METHODS:After the treatment of different decellularizing methods (freeze/thaw cycles, trypsin, weak alkal, detergents), the extracellular matrix was obtained and grouped into four kinds. The biological composition of the extracellular matrix was determined by ELISA assay. Then osteoblasts were seeded onto the four kinds of extracellular matrix surfaces. cells cultured normal y served as controls. The effect of extracellular matrix coatings on cellgrowth and differentiation were determined by MTT test and alkaline phosphatase activity test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The residual components were the most in the freeze-thaw group, fol owed by the detergent and weak alkal groups, and the least in the trypsin group. Compared with the control group, the absorbance value of cells were lower in the freeze-thaw and detergent groups at days 3, 5, 7 after inoculation (both P<0.05);the alkaline phosphatase activity was lower in the trypsin group at days 5, 7 after inoculation (P<0.05), in the weak alkal group at 7 days after inoculation (P<0.05), and in the detergent group at days 3, 5, 7 after inoculation (P<0.05). Therefore, we can harvest more extracellular matrices by the freeze-thaw method, and the extracellular matrix coating synthesized by the freeze-thaw method is more helpful for cellgrowth than others.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of "menstrual cycle-based acupuncture therapy" on ovarian function and pregnancy results of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with decline in ovarian reserve (DOR).
METHODSA total of 63 patients of DOR who received treatment of IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were randomly divided into an observation group (30 cases) and a control group (33 cases). The patients in the observation group were treated with "menstrual cycle-based acupuncture therapy". The syndrome differentiation and treatment were given based on different phases of menstruation. Shiqizhui (EX-B 8) and Mingmen (GV 4) were selected during menstrual phase, Shenshu (BL 23), Geshu (BL 17), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Taixi (KI 3) were selected after menstruation, Qihai (CV 6), Guanyuan (CV 4), Zigong (EX-CA 1), Zusanli (ST 36) were selected during ovulatory period, Qihai (CV 6), Guanyuan (CV 4), Yanglingquan (GB 34), Taichong (LR 3) were selected before menstruation. The acupuncture was given twice a week until second menstrual cycle of oocyte retrieval. The total times of acupuncture was (15 ± 2). After acupuncture, patients were treated with IVF-ET. The patients in the control group were treated with IVF-ET but no acupuncture. The indices of ovarian reserve function, including basic follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), antral follicle count (AFC), number of retrieved oocytes, number of fertilization and number of high quality embryo, were compared and analyzed before and after acupuncture in the observation group. The differences of outcomes of IVF-ET, including the cycle cancellation rate, implantation rate, the clinical pregnancy rate, were compared between the two groups.
RESULTSCompared before acupuncture, the E2, AFC, number of retrieved oocytes, number of high quality embrgo and number of fertilization were all increased after acupuncture in the observation group (all P< 0. 05). Compared with the control group, levels of the E2, the number of retrieved oocytes, number of fertilization and number of high quality embryo were all increased in the observation group (all P < 0.05). Also, the implantation rate, the clinical pregnancy rate were improved (both P < 0.01) and cycle cancellation rate was reduced (P< 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe "menstrual cycle-based acupuncture therapy" can effectively improve the ovarian reserve function in DOR patients, leading to an improved clinical pregnancy rate of IVF-ET.

Objective To explore the molecular basis of the characteristics of the serum auto-fluorescent spectrum in patients with ovarian cancer and the changes that might be induced by surgery. Methods Using fluorospectrophotometer and 300nm excitation light,the serum auto-fluorescent spectrum of 84 patients with ovarian cancer before and after the surgery and 30 healthy people were detected. Meanwhile, the serum tumor signs (CEA, CA199 and CA125), hemoglobin and plasma albumin level of all patients with ovarian cancer were detected. Their correlation with the fluorescence spectral characteristic parameters were analyzed. Results Compared with healthy people, the serum auto-fluorescent spectrum in patients with ovarian cancer exhibited purple-shifted position of λ2 peak and red shift in λ4 peak,had higher peak extent inλ1, λ2, λ4 and λ6 peak, and larger peak area of λ1, λ2, λ3, λ4 and λ6. Compared with those in ovarian cancer patients before surgery, the serum auto-fluorescent spectrum in these patients after operation had red shifts in λ1, λ2 and λ3 peak, lower peak extent in λ1, λ2, λ3 and λ4, and smaller peak area in λ1, λ2, λ3,λ4 and λ6 peak. In ovarian cancer patients, the serum level of CEA was positively correlated with the λ2 peak extent and the peak area of λ2 and λ3, while the serum level of CA125 was positively correlated with the peak extent of λ1-λ4 and λ6 and the peak area of λ1-λ3. The serum level of CA199 was negatively correlated with the λ2 position and positively correlated with the peak extent of λ1-λ6 and the peak area ofλ1-λ3 and λ6 in patents with ovarian cancer. Besides, the serum albumin was positively correlated with theλ2 peak position and negatively with the peak extent of λ1-λ6 and the λ1-λ3 peak area, while the level of hemoglobin was positively correlated with λ1 peak position. Conclusions The elevated serum tumor markers and lower albumin (plasma) level lead to the changes of the serum autofluorescence spectra characteristic parametersin in patients with ovarian cancer.These changes can be modestly corrected by surgery.
