BACKGROUND:Insufficient blood supply after major bone defects leads to osteocyte necrosis;therefore, the tissue-engineered bone cannot meet the clinical requirements. OBJECTIVE:To construct an artificial vessel using in vitro cultured rabbit bone marrow stromal stem cel s and human umbilical vein endothelial cel s combined with the rabbit aortic decel ularized vascular matrix. METHODS:Rabbit bone marrow stromal stem cel s were cultured by adherent method, human umbilical vein endothelial cel s were cultured in vitro and isolated, and rabbit aortic decel ularized vascular stent was prepared. The stent-cel composite was constructed, and its biocompatibility was observed under scanning electron microscope. There were three groups:blank control, control (bone marrow stromal stem cel-stent) and experimental (stent-cel composites) groups (n=10 per group), fol owed by implantation around the smal vessels. Three months later, the vascular samples were col ected for gross observation and hematoxylin-eosin staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fibroblast-like cel clones were formed by adherent method, and were positive for CD44+and STRO-1+after climbing;calcified nodule formed in the ossification. Flow cytometry showed CD34+accounting for 43.83%, and visible VIII factor in the endothelial cel s. In the experimental group, endothelial cel s formed a single cel layer onto the scaffold under scanning electron microscope;the artificial vessel grew wel and tubular structure presented and eight angiod structures were found. Thin film-like vessels formed in the blank control group and there were only endothelial-like tissues in the control group. These results suggest that angiod structures can form after the stent-cel composite implantation, causing no immune reaction, but the artificial vessel is visible in absence of muscular layer.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of medicine taking,the type and ratio of long-term medication and treatment satisfaction in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD),to analyze the effects of GERD combined with functional bowel disease (FBD) on the treatment satisfaction,and to compare the changes of type of medication and treatment satisfaction in patients with GERD in recent years.Methods From April to June in 2011,the questionnaire survey was conducted in gastroenterology clinic of People's Hospital of Peking University.The incidence of typical GERD symptoms was investigated by a validated reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ),the score between one and five was considered there might be reflux symptoms and the score over 12 was diagnosed as GERD.FBD was diagnosed according to Rome Ⅲ criteria.The information of GERD related medication taking within one year before the survey,long-term medication taking (≥ 1 year)and the treatment satisfaction of patients whose RDQ score over zero was recorded and compared with the data collected in the same method in 2004.The chi-square test was performed for data statistical analyses with SPSS 17.0 software.Results Among 1074 patients who completed questionnaire survey in 2011,the percentage of patients with reflux symptoms was 32.7％ (351/1074),the percentage of diagnosed GERD was 10.0％ (107/1074),and GERD combined with FBD was 25.2％ (27/107) of GERD.A total of 304 cases (86.6％) of patients with reflux symptoms had information of medication taking; 78.0％ (237/304) of whom had taken GERD related medication within one year before the survey.The rate of GERD related medication taking especially proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and antiacid medication taking increased along with RDQ score (x2 =24.2,13.1 and 18.2,all P＜0.05).A total of 104 cases of GERD patients had information of medication taking; 88.5 ％ (92/104) GERD patients had taken GERD related medication within one year before the survey,52.9％ (55/104) GERD patients had taken PPI medication,30.8％ (32/104) needed long-term medication and 20.2％ (21/104) needed longterm PPI treatment.There was no significant difference in treatment satisfaction between different RDQ score ranges (x2 =3.3,P＞0.05).Among GERD patients who appraised the effects of treatment,the percentage of satisfied,acceptable and not satified with the treatment was 37.1％(26/70),48.6％ (34/70)and 14.3％(10/70),respectively.There was no significant difference in treatment satisfation between GERD with and without FBD (x2 =3.1,P＞0.05).In 2011,the rates of medication taking (88.5％,92/104) and PPI taking (52.9％,55/104) in GERD patients significantly increased compared with those in 2004 (57.3％,98/171; 7.6％,13/171,x2 =29.4,71.4,both P＜0.05).The percentage of treatment satisfaction in 2011(37.1％,26/70) increased compared with that in 2004(25.7％,18/70,x2 =12.8,P＜0.01).Conclusions Some of patients with GERD symptoms need long-term medication,especially PPI treatment.In recent years,the rate of medication taking in GERD patients increased in outpatients department,PPI taking significantly increased and the treatment satisfaction also increased.Maybe the treatment satisfaction is not affected by GERD combined with FBD.

Objective To investigate the potential of stromal cells from human umbilical cord blood cultured in vitro to secrete hematopoietic growth factors. Methods The expressions of hematopoietic growth factors of stromal cells from human umbilical cord blood and bone marrow were detected by ELISA kits at different time points. Results Stromal cells from human umbilical cord blood could secrete thrombopoietin (TPO), granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF). The peak levels of TPO and SCF were found at 7 d after culture in vitro, but then the levels of these factors decreased gradually. Stromal cells from human umbilical cord blood secreted more SCF and GM-SCF, but less TPO than human bone marrow stromal cells. Conclusion Our results demonstrate that stromal cells from human umbilical cord blood could sustain hematopoiesis by secreting multiple types of hematopoietic growth factors such as TPO, GM-CSF, and SCF.

Objective To explore the application of CT value in calculating the proton incident energy in proton treatment planning system. Methods Bethe-Block formula and the formula for calculating the proton range were analyzed to study the correlation of the range of proton beam ( 70-250 MeV ) between a variety of radiation equivalent material and water. Procedure of Monte Carlo SRIM2008 was used to verify the possibility of a constant proportional coefficient of range ( Ci ). The proportional coefficient ( Ci ) of range in radiation-equivalent material and the CT value were fitted by using Origin 8.0 software to study the functional relation of CT value and Ci. The actual range of proton was equivalent to a range of water and incident proton energy could be calculated. Results There was a constant range of Ci of proton beam (70-250 MeV) between a variety of radiation equivalent material and water. There was a functional relation between CT value and Ci ( r = 0.999). The actual range of proton in radiation equivalent material can be equivalent to a range of the water. Conclusions CT values and a range of proportional coefficient ( Ci ),and the actual required range of the tumor could be used to accurately calculate the water equivalent range,and the incident proton energy to the position of Bragg peak. A new exploration for using CT technology in proton treatment planning system could be obtained.
