Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(24):-
BACKGROUND: The repair of soft tissue defect is disturbing plastic surgeons for a long period of time. Each strategy has its own limitation. Adipe authoritative journals were included. Repetitive articles and Meta analysis articles were excluded. Finally 34 articles werose tissue engineering technique provides a novel resolving approach. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the research status of adipose tissue engineering and their defects, and to prospect the possible application in clinic. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: A computer-based online search of Medline was undertaken to identify articles about adipose tissue construction published in English from January 1991 to July 2007 with the keywords "fat, tissue engineering". Meanwhile, we searched Chinese Journal Full-text Database for the Chinese articles dated from January 1991 to July 2007 with the same keywords in Chinese. 241 English and 101 Chinese articles were collected. The titles and abstracts were firstly read to select the articles about the construction of tissue-engineered adipose tissue, and 276 repetitive studies were excluded. LITERATURE EVALUATION: Sixty-six Chinese and English articles were selected for further analysis, and finally 30 articles were included. DATA SYNTHESIS: Cell types, scaffold, blood supply and microenvironment are factors for constructing tissue-engineered fat. Adipose tissue defect and insufficiency are two obstacles for the plastic surgeons for a long time. Autologous free fat transplantation is a common therapy, but its resorption limits the further application. Tissue engineering is a possible technique to resolve this problem. At present, the tissue-engineered construction of adipose tissue has become a study focus due to the great demand of plastic surgery. CONCLUSION: Graft remaining normal appearance and function for a long period of time can realize the application of tissue-engineered adipose tissue in clinic. Tissue-engineered adipose tissue is promising to resolve the problems like soft tissue defects in clinic.

Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 1998;0(01):-
Objective To investigate relationship of serum insulin like growth factors(IGFs) and catch up growth. Methods The model of rats intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) was built by clamping bilateral uterine arteries and veins of pregnant rats. The growth parameters (body weight and length), organs weights (brain, lungs and liver) and serum concentrations of IGF Ⅰ, Ⅱ of all neonatal rats was measured at birth and postnatal day 3 and day 5, respectively. Results (1)At birth, the serum levels of IGF Ⅰ, Ⅱ and the average growth parameters, organs weights in IUGR rats were significantly lower than those in control group( P 0.05). The serum of IGF Ⅱ in high catch up group was significantly higher than that at birth( P 0.05). Conclusion Both IGF Ⅰ, Ⅱmay play an important role in the regulation of catch up growth and the decrease of IGF Ⅰ, Ⅱlevels may be the internal factors contributing to the absence of postnatal catch up growth in IUGR rats.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the diagnosis, treatment and genetic characteristics of a neonate with severe pulmonary hypertension and respiratory failure.
METHODS:
Perinatal history, clinical manifestations, laboratory finding and diagnosis and treatment data of the child were collected. Whole exome sequencing was carried out for the child, and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the candidate variants.
RESULTS:
The female neonate has developed progressive respiratory failure and refractory pulmonary hypertension shortly after birth. Conventional treatment such as mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drugs, and inhaled nitric oxide were ineffective. She has developed sustained pulmonary hypertension after weaning from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy, and had died after the treatment had ceased. Whole exome sequencing revealed that she has harbored a heterozygous de novo variant of c.682_683insGCGGCGGC (p.G234Rfs*148) of the FOXF1 gene, which was predicted as pathogenic based on guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), with evidence items of PVS1_Strong+PM2_Supporting+PS2. Based on her clinical manifestations and result of genetic testing, the child was diagnosed with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV).
CONCLUSION
Discovery of the c.682_683insGCGGCGGC (p.G234 Rfs*148) variant of the FOXF1 gene has expanded the mutational spectrum of the FOXF1 gene, which has facilitated implementation of specific treatment and provided a basis for clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling.
