Tissue engineering is a kind of cross subject,which develops on the basis of cell biology,molecular biology,bio-material science and clinical medicine.The aim of tissue engineering is to restore and improve the function of scathing tissue using bio-substituent.The basis of tissue engineering is to study and develop the frame materials of bio-substituent.Besides the physical and chemical properties satisfying the growth and reproduction of the seed cell,the materials should hold the following properties,including tissue compatibility,bio-degradability,degradable modulability,nontoxicity,easy to mold.The materials studied extensively are PLA and PGA.The polylacticacids frame materials have been used to be the frame materials of bone,cartilage gristle,blood vessel,nerve and skin.The preparation of polylacticacids and its improvement are reviewed in this article.The application development to tissue engineering is also presented.

Objective To study the reason and the preventive measures that adverse effects of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) for renal stones during treatment.Methods From April 2015 to January 2016,165 patients who underwent ESWL treatment for renal stones were enrolled this retrospective study.All patients were in supine position.Direction of shockwave was by the path of preabdomen.The adverse effects during treatment were observed.The related factors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.Results There were 70 cases(42.4%) with pain,10 cases(6.1%) with cold sweat,8 cases (4.8%) with accelerated heart rate,5 cases (3.0%)with descent of heart rate,2 cases (1.2%) with nausea and vomiting.In the univariate Logistic regression analysis,four variables (BMI,history of ESWL treatment,stone location and energy) were found showing statistical significance.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the final significant related factors were BMI < 24.0 kg/m2 (OR =4.155,CI 1.373-12.571),history of ESWL treatment (OR =0.163,CI 0.058-0.454),stone in pelvis(OR =123.051,CI 17.638-858.439),stone in middle calyceal (OR =169.171,CI 29.677-964.343),energy 86.3-94.7J (OR =0.094,CI 0.025-0.362).Conclusions Pain was the most common adverse effect during the treatment of ESWL.Stone location (pelvis and middle calyceal) was an independent risk factor,BMI < 24.0 kg/m2 was one of the related risk factors.Both energy 86.3-94.7J and history of ESWL treatment were preventive factors.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum levels of nuclear factor E2-related fac-tor 2(Nrf2),advanced oxidation protein products(AOPP)and blood lipid,liver fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH).Methods A total of 104 patients with NASH in Bishan Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University were selected as the study group,and 90 healthy people were selected as the control group.The serum levels of Nrf2 and AOPP in each group were detected and compared.Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between serum Nrf2,AOPP levels and blood lipid,liver fibrosis in patients with NASH.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to e-valuate the diagnostic value of serum Nrf2,AOPP levels for NASH.Results The levels of triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),Nrf2 and AOPP in the study group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),and the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The serum levels of Nrf2 and AOPP in severe group were higher than those in moderate group and mild group(P<0.05),and the serum levels of Nrf2 and AOPP in moderate group were higher than those in mild group(P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that serum Nrf2 and AOPP levels in NASH patients were positively correlated with TG,TC,LDL-C and the degree of liver fibrosis(P<0.05),and negatively correlated with HDL-C(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum Nrf2 for NASH diagnosis was 0.830(95%CI 0.780-0.880).The AUC of serum AOPP in the diagnosis of NASH was 0.866(95%CI 0.816-0.916).The AUC of the combined diagnosis of NASH was 0.925(95%CI 0.875-0.975).Conclusion The serum levels of Nrf2 and AOPP are increased in NASH patients,and they are closely related to blood lipids and liver fibrosis,which are expected to be effective indicators for the diagnosis of NASH.

Objective To evaluate the expression differences of C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT)and cytokines[interferon-γ(IFN-γ),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-10,IL-6,IL-4,IL-2,IL-17 A,and IFN-γ/IL-10]in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection,tuberculosis(TB)infec-tion and HIV/TB co-infection in order to provide evidence for early clinical diagnosis of HIV/TB co-infection.Methods Medical records and clinical information of 103 patients with HIV(HIV group),42 patients with TB(TB group)and 67 patients with HIV/TB co-infection(HIV/TB group)were collected from January 2021 to September 2022.CRP,PCT and cytokines were detected in all patients,and their expression differ-ences among the three groups were analyzed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were drawn and screening ability was evaluated.Results Compared with HIV group and TB group,CRP,PCT,IFN-γ,IL-10,IL-6 levels and IFN-γ/IL-10 in HIV/TB group were increased,with statistical significance(P<0.001).Bon-ferroni correction results showed that CRP,PCT,IFN-γ,IL-6 levels and IFN-γ/IL-10 were significantly differ-ent between HIV and HIV/TB groups(all P<0.001).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of CRP,PCT,IFN-γ,IL-6 and IFN-γ/IL-10 combined detection was 0.826,which was higher than that of single detection.Conclusion CRP,PCT,IFN-γ,IL-6,IFN-γ/IL-10 combined detection can help the early screening of HIV infection and HIV/TB co-infection.
