Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2006;10(48):213-215,封3
BACKGROUND: The ulcer wound is hard to heal in diabetic patients,and it is believed to be caused by the microcirculatory disorder of wound and decreased contents of endogenous growth factors in patients with diabetes mellitus.OBJECTIVE: To observe the biological effects of adeno-associated virus (AAV) mediated transforming growth factor beta1 (AAV-TGFβ1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (AAV-VEGF) in promoting the dermal ulcer healing of diabetic rabbits.DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTINGS: Medical College, Qingdao University; Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University.MATERIALS: The experiments were carried out in the gynecological laboratory, Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University from July 2004 to January 2006. Twenty-four healthy adult New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into co-transfection group (n=12) and control group (n=12).METHODS: ① The dermal ulcer models of diabetic rabbits was established by injecting alloxan (130 mg/kg) via ear vein, and the ulcer wound was made by operation. ② In the co-transfection group, the wound was locally infiltrated, and injected with AAV-TGFβ1 virus and AAV-VEGF virus (the concentration was 9×106 virus granules/mL respectively). The rabbits in the control group were treated with injection of saline.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The levels of TGFβ1 and VEGF gene transcription in the healing tissue were detected with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at 1 month postoperatively. ② The capillary density in the wound margin was counted with microcirculation microscope at 3 weeks postoperatively. ③ The collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ were isolated and detected with Western blotting by protein gel electrophoresis and semi-dry electrophoretic transfer. ④ The content of collagen in the ulcer healing issue was detected at 1 day, 1, 2 and 3 weeks, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 months postoperatively. ⑤ The thickness, color and quality of the wound healing were observed postoperatively.RESULTS: All the 24 rabbits were involved in the analysis of results. ① The expressions of TGFβ1 and VEGF gene transcription in the co-transfection group were increased as compared with those in the control group. ② The capillary density at the wound margin in the co-translection group was higher than that in the control group [(19.18±3.56), (6.43±1.52)/mm2,t=3.21, P < 0.05]. ③ The content of collagen Ⅰ in the ulcer healing tissue in the co-transfection group was obviously increased, and the proportion of collagen Ⅰ in the constituent ratio of collagen Ⅱ and Ⅲ was increased.④ The contents of collagen in the ulcer healing tissue at 1 day after transfection were close without significant difference between the two groups (t=1.55, P > 0.05). After that, the contents of collagen in the cotransfection group were all significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). ⑤ The ulcer healing in the control group was obviously lagged with bad quality.CONCLUSION: The combination of AAV-TGFβ1 and AAV-VEGF can efficiently transfect the dermal ulcer wound in diabetic rabbits, obviously increase the capillary density in ulcer tissue, markedly improve the proportion of collagen I in the constituent ratio of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ in healing tissue, and obviously ameliorate the condition of ulcer healing.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are regarded as the promising option of cell replacement therapy, are able to regulate immune response after tissue damage caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI). Secondary neuroinflammation following the mechanical injury is the essential factor of neural cell necrosis and apoptosis, even after the intracranial pressure has returned to normal. Their immune environments caused by neuroinflammtary response determine the outcome and long-term behavior function of TBI in survivors directly. MSCs modulate macrophage/microglia, drive them to polarize into alternative M2-like cells through releasing soluble cytokines, such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene 6 protein (TSG-6), IL-1 and TGF-β, which limits the progression of inflammation and maintain micro-environment stable. Meanwhile, macrophage/microglia exerts significant effects in MSCs survival, proliferation, differentiation and activation. It provides a novel approach as a practical anti-inflammatory therapy in clinical treatment.

In recent decades, the development of the neurosurgery has changed from the traditional anatomical model to the modern anatomical-functional model. The nerve functions are maximally protected while lesions are removed as far as possible. Neurophysiological monitoring especially somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) and motor evoked potentials (MEPs) can directly reflect the integrity of the sensory and motor nerve conduction pathways of the nervous system. At present, it has been widely used in the neurosurgery, spinal surgery, vascular surgery and other surgical fields. In recent years, more and more clinical surgeries involved spinal surgery, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring could timely find any reversible spinal cord damage such as mechanical stretch, ischemia, and anesthetic drugs, which not only improve the quality of surgery, reduce iatrogenic spinal cord injury, but also greatly improve the prognosis of patients and reduce postoperative neurological dysfunction and complications. In this paper, the research progress of neural electrophysiological monitoring techniques in spinal cord surgery is reviewed.

Stem cells transplantation had been proved to be effective in many clinical diseases. However, microenvi-ronment can influence their growth, migration and differentiation. Under chemical microenvironment, such as hypoxia, neu-ral growing factors and different kinds of ions, stem cells had been intensively studied while little is known about their perfor-mance under physical microenvironment. The effects of mechanical forces, elasticity and rigidity of the matrix of stem cells are still to be further investigated. This article is to summarize how microenvironment controls the fate of stem cells and to re-view the measurement of the mechanical properties.
