Chinese Journal of Bases and Clinics in General Surgery 2004;0(01):-
Objective To study the feasibility of transplanting autologous venous endothelial cells, as the liner, to the allogenic vein and to investigate the patency rate after such transplantation. Methods Autologous endothelial cells were gained after the administration of 0.2% collagenase and the centrifugalization of the enzyme liquid. The cells were not cultivated in a 60 ml plastic culture until the presence of the second generation. The cultivated cells were confirmed as endothelial cells by factor Ⅷ related antigen. The multiplied cells were lined in vitro onto the luminal surface of allogenic vein that was disposed by freeze-drying and radiation. The orthotopic transplantation of autologous venous endothelial cells was performed after the 9-day incubation. Results (9.47?0.35)?10~6 endothelial cells were obtained after the cultivation. Three hours after cell seeding, the luminal surface of allogenic vein was covered with vast endothelial cells but still had not formed an intact endomembrane. On day 9, the luminal surface was covered with a continuous endothelial monolayer and the arrangement and the shape of the cells all showed the perfect condition of endothelial cells. Eight weeks later, all the transplanted veins kept unobstructed. Conclusion The approach of lining allogenic vein with autologous endothelial cells in vitro may keep the vein unobstructed in the long term.

Objective To evaluate the effects of chest wall reconstruction after tumor resection patients with chest wall defect. Methods From March 1999 to August 2008,28 patients with chest wall tumor underwent chest wall reconstruction.The number of rib resected was 3-6. Twenty-one huge chest wall defects underwent chest wall reconstruction using titanium alloy steel artificial rib. The materials for the soft tissue reconstruction include latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap. Results No died of operation, postoperative respiratory function was good, no abnormal breathing exercises. Concurrent osseous tissue repair and rebuilt in 3 cases, the fluid recovered after conservative therapy. Followed-up 8-76 months,2 cases were lost, follow-up rate was 92.9% ,4 cases with benign tumor existed 7.8,7.2,5.4 and 3.6 years, 22 cases with malignant tumor after 1, 3, 5 years survival rate were 77.3% (17/22) ,63.2% (12/19),41.2% (7/17) respectively. Conclusion A favorable clinical outcome can be achieved by titanium alloy steel artificial rib reconstruction of chest wall.
