Objective To study the effect of a novel injectable scaffold material chitosan- beta-TCP combining bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on repairing bone defect of goat. Methods The model of the studies was 12ram diameter circular hole tibia bone defect of goat. 30 Chinese goats were raudomly divided into 5 groups: blank group: nothing was embeded in bone defect; simple material group: the material embeded in bone defect was chitosan-beta-TCP; PRP group: the material was chitesan-beta-TCP combining PRP; MSCs group: the material was chitosan-beta-TCP combining MSCs; PRP/MSCs group:the material was chitosan-beta-TCP combining MSCs and PRP. At 4,8 weeks after operation, the samples were observed, histological and image analysis were used to evaluate the effect of bone regeneration. Results At 8 weeks, the surface of bone defect zone of PRP/MSCs group were coverd by continuous new bones, like normal bone. Histological slice showed the esteoid at boundary of normal bone of MSCs/PRP group obviously increased compare to other groups at the 4th or 8th week after operation respectively. The new bone tissues of bone defect were punctiform or lamellar new bone tissues, in which the proportion of big lamellar new bone tissue obviously increased. Image analysis showed that the areas of balnk group, simple material group, PRP group, MSCs group, PRP/MSCs group were 8.79±3.63,14.49± 3.72,24.18 ± 5.38,24.42 ± 5.10,31.10 ± 3.49 at 4 weeks and 15.41 ± 4.21,25.36 ± 5.37,30.71 ± 4.39, 33.97 ± 4.45,48.60 ± 5.97 at 8 weeks respectively. The effect of bone regeneration of PRP/MSCs group was better than other groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion The injectable tissue-engineering bone constructed with chitosan-beta-TCP, MSCs and PRP possesses good ability on repairing bone defect.

BACKGROUND: Many experiments indicate that the angiogenesis of tissue engineered bone graft plays a key role in the osteogenesis.OBJECTIVE: An experimental pattern was set up designed to prepare a kind of vascularized engineered-bone graft for repairing rhesus tibia defects and analyze the relation of angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vivo by rontgenographic and morphological approaches.DESIGN: Random controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University.MATERIALS: The composite graft was constructed by seeding the induced bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) on to a beta-tricalcium phosphate(3-TCP) scaffold in vitro, a circular cylinder (20 mm × 8 mm diameter) with a slit (width 2 mm and length 3 mm ) open to both ends and slot. Porosity 60% and pore diameter 100-150 μm. Twenty-nine healthy rhesuses aged 4-5 years and weighted 3.5-5 kg were adopted without gender limitation.METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Nanfan Hospital, Southern Medical University from October 2003 to July 2005. ①Bone-periosteum defect of 20 mm was made in the middle part of right tibia of the 27 rhesuses, and randomly divided into 3 groups equally. ②The defect gaps in fascia-blood vessel group (A) were plugged with in vitro engineered composites constructed by bone marrow stem cells and 3-TCP scaffold, which were totally hugged by a sheet of pedicled deep fascia and additionally a corresponding portion of saphenous artery and veins. The gaps in fascia group (B) and control group(C), however, were inserted with fascia-coated tissue engineered bone and tissue engineered bone only, respectively. Furthermore, two rhesuses without filling materials on the defect were picked up as blanks fixed by steel pins. ③The angiogenesis and osteogenesis for each treatment was assessed by radioactive imaging, roentgenographic analyses, blocking density and vaso-area image analysis at time intervals of 4, 8 and 12 weeks postoperative.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The score of radioactive imaging,roentgenographic, morphological and vaso-area image analyses RESULTS: Totally 29 rhesuses were involved in the result analysis.① General observation of samples: In group A, all the surfaces of the implanted material and the central part were wholly wrapped up or replaced by bonelike tissues which were hard and could not be broken. And 2/3 materials had been absorbed; In group B and C, partial materials of the medial surface and the front were not coated or replaced by bonelike tissues, which could be broken with force, and 1/3 material had been absorbed.②Histological observation of scaffolds: With time passing, the scaffold materials were absorbed to different degrees in group A, B and C, among which, group A was most significant; Under the microscope, the implanted materials at 12 weeks were completely coated with the bonelike tissues, while the blood vessels structures in the materials were mostly alveoli alike and multi-braches. In group B, most of the materials at 12 weeks were wrapped up by the new bone, and few blood vessels could be seen in the center of the materials. In group C, the implanted materials at 12 weeks were slightly absorbed. The new bone and the vascular structures were both increased a little, but still very few.③Analyses of vaso-area: The vaso-areas of both central and peripheral parts in group A were significantly bigger than those of group B and C (P < 0.05). Furthermore, it tended to increase with the time.④X-rays observation: At 12 weeks, group A's images presented obviously decreased density which was lower than that of the normal bone in individual areas and the continual bony callus manifested. Whereas group B and C's images showed slightly decreased density and the continual bony callus appeared on the sections. ⑤The roentgenographic scores of bone defects: The results indicates that the scores of group A was better than those of group B and C at 4, 8 and 12 weeks, respectively (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: ①This study shows that a feasible and effective angiogenesis approach of tissue engineered bone can accelerate osteogenesis in vivo. ②The absorption level is positively related to local angiogenesis.

Wistar rats were intragastrically administered with different doses (2, 5 and 10 g / kg body weight) of haematitum. 1H NMR-based metabonomic analysis coupled with multivariate statistical analysis (principal component analysis and partial least squares-discriminant analysis) was used to analyze the metabolic profiles of the urine samples collected from the treated rats. Univariate analysis on the 1H NMR spectra of urine (1 d before administration, 1-5 d post administration) was used to screen out the potential features of haematitum. Significant treatment related changes were observed for the levels of citrate, tuarine, creatinine,α-ketoglutarate, succinate and dimethylglycine, which could be used as potential features of haematitum. A trend of recovery in connection with dose levels was observed overtime. Such biochemical changes indicated that haematitum treatment at the dose of 2, 5 and 10 g / kg body weight affected the Krebs cycle and glucose metabolism, energy metabolism, choline metabolism and dimethylglycine metabolism in rats. These changes may attribute to the disturbances of hepatic function in 10 g / kg body weight group.

AIM: To investigate the effect of 3-bro-mopyruvate cholesterol ester (3-BP-Cl) on the sensitivity of breast cancer to tamoxifen (TAM). METHODS: MTT assay and Calcein AM/PI staining were used to detect the effect of drugs on the viability of breast cancer cells. Kim's formula was used to detect synergistic anti-breast cancer effect of cholesterol 3-bromopyruvate and tamoxifen. The inhibitory effect of drugs on proliferation of breast cancer cells was detected by colony-forming assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of hexokinase 2, Bcl-2 and Bax proteins. RESULTS: MTT results showed that combination 3-BP-Cl and TAM could significantly inhibit the activity of MCF-7 cells (P<0.05). The results of King's formula showed that 3-BP-Cl and TAM had synergistic inhibitory effect on the proliferation of MCF-7 cells (q>1.15). Calcein AM / PI staining showed that the number of dead cells was the highest in the combination group. Colony-forming assay showed that the combination group had stronger inhibitory effect on the proliferation of MCF-7 cells than that of single drug groups. AnnexinV flow cytometry results showed that, the cell apoptosis in the combination group was significantly increased (P<0.01). Western blot results showed that 3-BP-Cl inhibited the expressions of hexoktokinase 2 and Bcl-2, and enhanced the expression of Bax in MCF-7 cells. CONCLUSION: 3-BP-Cl could increase the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to tamoxifen, and synergically inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells. The mechanism is possibly related to its effects of inhibiting the expression of HK2/Bcl-2, and enhancing the expression of Bax.
