BACKGROUND:Fibrin glue is a natural biodegradable scaffold, which can be used for tissue-engineered scaffolds, and is increasingly used as seed cel carrier for tissue engineering repair. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biocompatibility in vitro of rabbit fascia fibroblasts and fibrin glue. METHODS:Tissue explants adherent method was used to culture fibroblasts from subcutaneous deep fascia tissue of New Zealand white rabbits. The fibroblasts could be passaged with trypsin digestion method. Suspension of passage four fibroblasts was co-cultured with fibrin glue. Morphology and proliferation of fibroblasts on the surface of fibrin glue were dynamical y observed under the inverted phase contrast microscope. At 5 days after co-culture, fibroblasts were identified by immunofluorescence staining under the laser scanning confocal microscope. The fibroblast growth and adhesion were observed under the scanning electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in fibroblast morphology between co-culture fibroblasts and pure culture fibroblasts with inverted phase contrast microscope. Scanning electron microscope demonstrated that fibroblasts ful y extended in fibrin glue surface, and showed a good adhesion between the“pseudopodium”and fibrin glue, and secreted matrix material. It is clear that the fibrin glue did not alter the morphologic features of fibroblasts. Laser scanning confocal microscope revealed that fibroblasts were positive for vimentin. These verified that properties of fibroblasts did not change after they were seeded in fibrin glue surface and did not be induced to differentiate. There is a very good biocompatibility between fascia fibroblasts and fibrin glue in vitro.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate digital rectal examination (DRE) , transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) , free/total (f-PSA/ t-PSA) prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and PSA density (PSAD) in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with PSA < or = 4.0 microg/L.
METHODSBetween April 1996 and December 2012, a total of 343 subjects, aged 30 -91 years, with PSA < or =4.0 microg/L and abnormal findings on DRE or TRUS underwent prostatic biopsy. Based on the levels of PSA, the subjects were divided into four groups: 0 -1.0, 1.1 -2. 0, 2.1 -3. 0, and 3.1 -4.0 microg/L. The diagnostic values of DRE, TRUS, f-PSA/t-PSA, and PSAD were assessed in those with different PSA levels. According to the age, the subjects were again divided into five groups: C49 yr, 50 -59 yr, 60 -69 yr, 70 -79 yr, and > 80 yr. The rates of PCa detection in relation to PSA levels were estimated in different age groups.
RESULTSOf the 343 subjects, 65 (19.0% ) were diagnosed with PCa, with detection rates of 16.28% (21/129) , 17. 17% (17/99), 21.82% (12/55), and 25.00% (15/60) in those with the PSA levels of 0 -1.0, 1.1 -2.0, 2.1 -3.0, and 3.1 -4.0 microg/L, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in f-PSA/t-PSA between the PCa patients and non-PCa subjects with the PSA level > 2.0 microg/L (P <0.05) , but not with the PSA level < or =2.0 microg/L (P > 0.05) , nor did PSAD show any significant difference between the PCa and non-PCa groups ([0.09+/-0. 16] versus [0. 06 +/- 0. 07] micro/L/ml, P > 0. 05). The rate of cancer detection rose -with the elevation of the PSA level, but had no statistically significant difference among different age groups (P >0.05).
CONCLUSIONPSA 2.1 -4.0 microg/L with abnormal DRE and TRUS findings should be considered as a warning signal, which requires regular follow-up and PSA detection. With f-PSA/t-PSA <0. 15 with or without abnormal DRE and TRUS findings, routine prostate biopsy should be performed. PCa diagnosis cannot be effectively established by DRE, TRUS, f-PSA/t-PSA, and PSAD in those with PSA < or = 2.0 microg/L.
