BACKGROUND:Various gene-delivery strategies have be used to transfer targeted genes into damaged bone tissues. As the most efficient gene vector, viral delivery systems have been used in bone tissue engineering research. OBJECTIVE: To thoroughly discuss the applications of different viral vectors in gene-enhanced bone tissue engineering. METHODS:A computer-based online search was performed in PubMed database for the related articles from January 2002 to January 2015. This review centered on viral vector transduction methods and their use in bone tissue engineering. Adenovirus, retrovirus, adeno-associated virus and chimeric virus were al discussed. Advantages and limitations of different vectors and their applicability toward bone tissue engineering were presented in this article. A total of 24 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Current viral vectors for gene delivery in gene-enhanced bone tissue engineering are summarized, including recent work where combinatorial gene therapy is used to express groups of genes to stimulate bone regeneration. Future directions for this field are discussed, where viral vectors mediated gene expression systems wil be combined with cels such as mesenchymal stem cels seeded in synthetic scaffolds to repair bone loss. Gene-enhanced bone tissue engineering has more advantages than traditional tissue engineering; viral vectors contribute to higher gene transfection efficiency than normal vectors. Long-term clinical observation is needed for the safety of viral vectors used in gene-enhanced tissue engineering in the body. Viruses are stil the most efficient means by which exogenous genes can be introduced into seeds cels.

Objective To review the diagnosis of prostatic cancer in 317 cases encountered between 1969 and 1999. Methods The clinical data of the 317 cases were retrospectively analysed. Results Prostatic cancer constituted 2.2% of the inpatients of the urology department,9.8% of genito urological tumors.In recent 10 years,the new cases of prostatic cancers hospitalized was 4.2 folds more than 20 years before.Since the use of PSA assessment,the diagnosis rate of prostatic cancer especially the T 1 and T 2 cases was significantly elevated (60.2% vs 50.0%). The diagnoses rate of DRE and TRUS was 86.1% and 89.1% whereas if combined with PSA assessment the diagnosis rate of either DRE or TRUS was increased to 99.0%. Serum PSA level was intimately correlated with the grade and stage of prostatic cancer. Conclusions The prostatic cancer inpatients tends to increase.Serum PSA assessment is of important value in detecting early cases of prostatic cancer.PSA,DRE and TRUS are the cardinal means for the screening of prostatic cancer and when used combinedly the diagnosis rate and accuracy are elevated.

ObjectiveTo assess the relationship between Candida adhesivity and biofilm formation. MethodsEight Candida strains belonging to 8 species and 1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain were cultured in yeast peptone dextrose (YPD) fluid and agar medium respectively. The flocculation and adhesion of Candida were observed. Candida biofilm models were developed in 96-well microculture plates. The kinetics of biofilm formation was measured. ResultsAll the 9 fungal strains had flocculation capability and could adhere to the surface of the yeast peptone dextrose agar medium. After mild shaking of the fluid medium, it is difficult for C. albicans, C. kefyr, C. glabrata and C. tropicalis to resuspend, but easy for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The adhesivity of C. albicans, C. kefyr, C. glabrata and C. tropicalis was stronger than that of the other Candida strains. Common pathogenic Candida strains could form biofilm, and the metabolic activity of Candida cells in the biofilm increased over time. A significant increment was observed in the ability of C. albicans and C. kefyr to form biofilm compared with the other species(all P < 0.05), and in that of C. tropicalis and C. glabrata compared with C. krusei, C. parapsilosis and C. gulliermondii (all P < 0.05). The nonpathogenic Saccharomyces cerevisiae could not form biofilm. ConclusionsCandida has the ability to adhere and form biofilm,and the ability varies with Candida species. Moreover, the ability to form biofilm positively correlates with the adhesivity of Candida.
