Objective To explore the biocompatibility of nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 (nHA/PA66) with human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) after osteogenic induction.Methods After hBMSCs were isolated and cultured in vitro,the experiment was conducted in 3 groups.Group A were hBMSCs subjected to no osteogenic induction,group B hBMSCs subjected to osteogenic induction,and group C was the composite of nHA/PA66 with hBMSCs subjected to osteogenic induction.Adhesion of the cells onto the nHA/PA66 in group C was observed by electron microscope scanning.Growth and proliferation of the cells in groups B and C were detected by MTI test at 1,2 and 3 weeks.The ability of osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs in vitro was analyzed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red staining.The ability of osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs on nHA/PA66 was tested by ALP activity.Results Electron microscope scanning showed that the cells spread and attached well on the surface of the composite scaffold in group C;the proliferation of the cells in groups B and C showed no significant difference (P > O.05).These suggested that the proliferation of hBMSCs was not affected by nHA/PA66.The number of mineralized nodules in group B was significantly larger than in group A (P < O.05);the ALP activity of the cells in group A was significantly lower than in group B at 6 and 12 days (P < 0.05);no significant differences were observed between groups B and C (P > 0.05).These indicated that the hBMSCs were capable of osteogenic differentiation which was not affected by nHA/PA66.In groups B and C,the ALP activity of the cells at 12 days was significantly higher than at 6 days,indicating the ALP activity increased with increased induction time (P < 0.05).Conclusion nHA/PA66 can be used as a carrier of hBMSCs in bone tissue engineering because hBMSCs can well adhere to,proliferate,and differentiate into bone on nHA/PA66 scaffolds.

BACKGROUND:Orthopedists should pay more attentions to nonunion prevention in view of nonunion treatment, that is, active interventions should be taken to avoid bone delayed union and nonunion.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of composite tissue-engineered scaffold constructed by nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 (nHA/PA 66) combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels to repair a femoral fracture with severe nonunion.
METHODS:Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were isolated and culturedin vitro, and then they were divided into three groups: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels without osteogenic induction, with osteogenic induction or combined with nHA/PA 66 folowed by osteogenic induction as control group, test group or composite group, respectively. Then osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem celsin vitrowas analyzed by measuring alkaline phosphatase activity and alizarin red staining, cel adhesion on the nHA/PA 66 was observed using scanning electron microscopy, and the celgrowth and proliferation were detected by MTT assay. In the meanwhile, established Sprague-Dawley rat femur nonunion models were randomly divided into three groups: the areas of nonunion were implanted with nothing as blank control group,those were with nHA/PA 66 as simple scaffold group, and the others were with nHA/PA 66 combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels as composite scaffold group. Afterwards, X-ray examination, micro-CT and Masson staining were used to evaluate the femoral healing.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 6 and 12 days after osteogenic induction, alkaline phosphatase activity in the test group was significantly higher than that in the control group; at 14 days, compared with the control group, the amount of mineralized nodules in the test group was significantly higher, which indicated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels after osteogenic induction could differentiate into osteoblasts. Attached cels spread wel on the scaffold with good proliferation activity, suggesting that nHA/PA 66 is suitable for cel adherence, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Besides, at 12 weeks after modeling, in the blank control group, no calus appeared in the nonunion region. In the simple scaffold group, the broken femur did not heal at 8 and 12 weeks after surgery. In the composite scaffold group, the broken femur did not heal at 8 weeks, but a lot of calus appeared; at 12 weeks, bone healing achieved and the scaffold was encased and absorbed.These findings demonstrate that the tissue-engineered bone scaffolds constructed by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and nHA/PA 66 effectively prevent bone nonunion by accelerating femoral healing in a rat femur nonunion model.

Objective To evaluate the value of intracavitary contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of biliary-bronchial fistula after hepatocellular carcinoma ablation. Methods Clinical data of 1 case with biliary-bronchial ifstula after hepatocellular carcinoma ablation in the Third Afifliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively analyzed. The informed consent was obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. The male patient, aged 56 years, underwent ultrasound-guided hepatocellular carcinoma radiofrequency ablation in September 2010. Examination revealed the tumor was completely ablated and no recurrence was detected 1 month after ablation. Ten months after operation, the patient suffered from recurrent fever and developed coughing up of bile-stained sputum at 17 months after ablation. MRI examination indicated the formation of a bile lake at the ablation site and percutaneous catheter drainage was performed. The diagnosis was conifrmed by lfuoroscopic and intracavitary contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination. Results The biliary fistula tract was found connected to the right chest by intracavitary contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination. After drainage the patients' symptoms were relieved. The biliary ifstula tract disappeared when checked by intracavitary contrast-enhanced ultrasound but the bile lake still existed. Right hemihepatectomy was performed subsequently. The patient was cured and discharged. Conclusions Biliary-bronchial fistula is a rare complication after hepatocellular carcinoma ablation. Intracavitary contrast-enhanced ultrasound could serve as a useful complementary method for the diagnosis and treatment of biliary-bronchial ifstula.

Objective:
To understand the impact of left behind experience on the mental health of secondary vocational school students, so as to provide theoretical basis for the psychological health education of secondary vocational school students.
Methods:
From September to December in 2019, a total of 3 401 students from Duyun, Guiding and Pingtang County were selected by multi stage cluster random sampling method. Self designed questionnaire and Symptom Check List-90(SCL-90) were used to investigate mental health status. A total of 1 415 left behind students and 1 415 non left behind students were matched by using propensity score matching (PSM). Wilcoxon test and Logistic regression analysis were conducted.
Results:
Before the matching of propensity score, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of family structure, mother s educational level, family residence,family harmony and children s past health among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=28.17, 52.40, 96.31, 29.75 , 19.10, P <0.05). After the matching, there were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of the above variables among the students with or without left behind experience ( χ 2=0.02-4.32, P >0.05). Before the matching of propensity scores, there were significant differences in the scores of 10 dimensions of SCL-90, including somatization (1.67,1.58), interpersonal sensitivity (2.00,1.89), anxiety (1.90,1.70), obsessive compulsive symptoms (2.20, 2.10), depression (2.00, 1.85), hostility (1.83, 1.67), terror (1.85, 1.71), paranoia (1.83, 1.67), psychotic (1.70, 1.60) and other (1.85, 1.71) dimensions among secondary vocational school students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-5.15 to -2.84, P <0.05). After propensity score matching, there were significant differences in scores remained only in three factors for interpersonal sensitivity [(2.00(1.56,2.67),2.00(1.44,2.56)], paranoia [1.83(1.33,2.50),1.83(1.33,2.33)] and psychoticism [1.70(1.30,2.30),1.70(1.20,2.20)] in SCL- 90 among secondary vocational students with or without left behind experience ( Z=-2.45, -2.12, -2.23, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The impact of left behind experience on the mental health of vocational school students is mainly reflected in interpersonal sensitivity, paranoia, and psychoticism, which should be identified as key areas of psychological education for secondary vocational school students.
