BACKGROUND: The super-hydrophobic surface exhibits excellent super-hydrophobic property, which attracts more attention in anti-coagulation property study. However, the test result is differing from the expectation.OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research status of super-hydrophobic effects on anti-coagulation.METHODS: The web of science database was retrieved with key words of "super-hydrophobic surface; blood compatibility; platelet adhesion; protein adsorption" to search papers concerning anti-coagulation property of super-hydrophobic surface. A total of 37 papers were initially searched by computer. According to the inclusive criteria, 20 papers were initially in this review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Through thorough analyzing different test methods of platelet adhesion used by present researchers, including in vitro static platelet adhesion, in vitro blood circulation experiments and in vivo animal experiments, we find that it may be not accurate and objective to obtain the conclusion of the super-hydrophobic surface possessing positive effect on anti-coagulation only by statically testing platelet adhesion in vitro. In order to confirm whether the super-hydrophobic luminal surface has anti-coagulating property, analysis of the blood deposition onto the luminal surface after in vitro circulation experiments and in vivo implantation experiments must be performed.

Objective To investigate the expressions and clinical significance of Id1 in diffuse large B‐cell Lymphomas (DL‐BCL) tissue and Id1 gene in bone warrow cell .Methods Forty cases of DLBCL(observation group) and 25 cases of reactive lymph‐oid hyperplasia (control group) were included in this study which were admitted by our hospital from October 2011 to October 2014 .The expression of Id1 proteins in DLBCL and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia were detected by imunohistochemical technique . The expression of Id1 genes in all patients′marrow cells was detected by reverse‐transcriptase polymerase chain reaction .The data were collected and analyzed by designed person .Results In 40 DLBCLs ,the positive rate of Id1 were 75 .00% (30/40) ,which was higher than in RHs 32 .00% (8/25) ,with statistic difference(P= 0 .001) .Id1 protein was not correlated with sex and age(P>0 .05) ,but was correlated with clinical stage ,LDH level and extranodal infiltration(P<0 .05) .The expression of Id1 genes in mar‐row cells in DLBCL was higher than in RH (Id1mRNA level 2 .80 ± 0 .87 vs .1 .37 ± 0 .51 ,P<0 .05) ,and also correlated with clini‐cal stage ,LDH level and extranodal infiltration(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The expression of Id1 proteins and genes are much higher in DLBCL tissue and marrow and probably related to the prognosis of DLBCL .This discovery would contribute to predicting prognosis of DLBCL ,w hich also could be a therapeutic target of DLBCL in the future .

OBJECTIVES:
To design and prepare silk fibroin/hyaluronic acid composite hydrogel.
METHODS:
The thiol modified silk fibroin and the double-bond modified hyaluronic acid were rapidly cured into gels through thiol-ene click polymerization under ultraviolet light condition. The grafting rate of modified silk fibroin and hyaluronic acid was characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy; the gel point and the internal microstructure of hydrogels were characterized by rheological test and scanning electron microscopy; the mechanical properties were characterized by compression test; the swelling rate and degradation rate were determined by mass method. The hydrogel was co-cultured with the cells, the cytotoxicity was measured by the lactate dehydrogenase method, the cell adhesion was measured by the float count method, and the cell growth and differentiation on the surface of the gel were observed by scanning electron microscope and fluorescence microscope.
RESULTS:
The functional group substitution degrees of modified silk fibroin and hyaluronic acid were 17.99% and 48.03%, respectively. The prepared silk fibroin/hyaluronic acid composite hydrogel had a gel point of 40-60 s and had a porous structure inside the gel. The compressive strength was as high as 450 kPa and it would not break after ten cycles. The water absorption capacity of the composite hydrogel was 4-10 times of its own weight. Degradation experiments showed that the hydrogel was biodegradable, and the degradation rate reached 28%-42% after 35 d. The cell biology experiments showed that the cytotoxicity of the composite gel was low, the cell adhesion was good, and the growth and differentiation of the cells on the surface of the gel were good.
CONCLUSIONS
The photocurable silk fibroin/hyaluronic acid composite hydrogel can form a gel quickly, and has excellent mechanical properties, adjustable swelling rate and degradation degree, good biocompatibility, so it has promising application prospects in biomedicine.
