BACKGROUND:Thrombogenesis is the most common cause of failure in the implantation of tissue engineered small-caliber vesselgrafts.And immobilizing heparin onto the surfaces of vascular scaffoidgrafts is often applied to improve their blood compatibility and patency.OBJECTIVES:To investigate the small intestinal submucosa(SIS)surface after heparinizadon with hypothermic plasma technique,to ireprove the blood compatibility of SIS and to explore the possibility for the construction of small-caliber vascular grafts with modified SIS seaffolds in vivo.DESIGN:Single exponent study.SETTING:Department of Orthopaedics,the Six People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University;ShanghaiInstitute for Microsurgery of Extremities.MATERIALS:This study was performed in the Shahghai Institute for Microsurgery of Extremities from January to October 2006.The jejuna were taken from farm pigs.METHODS:The SIS surface of pigswere processed by argon plasma(20mL/min)technique at different time periods(0,2,4,6,8,10,12,and 14 s),which were then immediately immerged in heparin sodium solution for 24 hours.Dogs were divided into two groups.The SIS films were sewn into a 3-mm diameter tube and implanted into the defect of a canine femoral by anastomosis as a vascular graft.The observation lasted for 6 weeks.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The surface morphologies of SIS were observed under scanning electron microscope(SEM).The antithrombogenicity of SIS films was tested by water contact angle,blood coagulation time and platelet adherence observation by SEM.The efficiency of the SIS graft was evaluated by the patency in the circulation of blood with colour doppler detection and histology.RESULTS:Heparinized SIS showed great different surface morphology comparing with untreated SIS.Untreated SIS surface looked like wrinkled film,but on heparinized SIS surface spread with uniform micro-dots,which looked like a layer of heparin adhesion.Water contact angle decreased with the increase of plasma irradiation time.Prothrombin time (PT),partial thromboplastin time(APTT),and thrombin time(TT)of the SIS films modified with heparin were prolonged.Platelets adhered much more on untreated SIS film than on heparinized SIS film.Vascular graft from SIS embolized in the lumina completely at day 3 after anastomosis.Heparinized SIS graft kept patency for six weeks,and the inner surface of graft was covered with full endothelial cells.CONCLUSION:Hydrophilicity and antithrombogenicity of heparinized SIS are increased obviously after hypothermia plasma treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of anisodamine on calbindin-D28K(CaBP) expression in the ethanol-induced brain damage in rat cerebellum.Methods2 months aged male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intraperitoeally with ethanol,normal saline,saline+anisodamine and ethanol+anisodamine respectively for 8 d.They were evaluated with Morris water maze.The counts,average area and density of CaBP positive neurons in cerebellum were measured with immunohistochemical technique and image analytical system.Results The latency of Morris water maze was significantly longer in the ethanol group than in the others(P<0.05),while the distance was significantly longer in the ethanol group than in the saline group and saline+anisodamine group(P<0.05).There is not significant difference between ethanol group and ethanol+anisodamine group(P>0.05),but is seemed some longer.The counts,average area and density of CaBP positive Purkinje cell were all significantly less in ethanol group than in the others(P<0.05).There Pwas not significant difference among ethanol+anisodamine group,saline group and saline+anisodamine group(P>0.05) in the counts,but the average areas and density in ethanol+anisodamine group were less than those in saline group and saline+anisodomine group(P<0.05).Conclusion The ethanol can reduce the CaBP expression in the Purkinje cells of the rats cerebellum.Anisodamine can protect the rats cerebellum from it.

Objective To investigate the change of genomic DNA of liver and spleen tissue for different age of the elderly,and provide the experimental data for aging-related research. Methods 35 livers and 33 spleens of autopsied samples preserved in refrigerator at-80 ℃ were divided into 3 groups according to age:age 65y to 79y,age 80y to 89y,age≥90y. The content of DNA in liver and spleen was determined by ultraviolet absorbent method. Results Compaired with age 80y to 89y (0. 310 ± 0. 286)mg/mL,the content of DNA in liver was significant higher at age 65y to 79y (1.464 ±0.488)mg/mL and age ≥90y(1.147 ±0.333)mg/mL(P<0.05);Compared with age 80y to 89y(0. 938 ± 0. 589)mg/mL,the content of DNA in spleen was significant higher at age 65y to 79y(1. 723 ± 0. 726)mg/mL and age≥90y(1. 688 ± 0. 963)mg/mL(P<0. 05). The content of DNA was significant lower in liver (0. 856 ± 0. 658)mg/mL than that in spleen (1. 414 ± 0. 852)mg/mL. Conclusion The content of DNA in human liver and spleen tissue may be decrease along with aging. The content of DNA in the group at age≥90y may be increase. There were some differences between different viscera tissue in content of DNA.

Objective To investigate the effect of chronotherapy (chemotherapy plus timely medication) on neutrophils in breast cancer patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Methods Fifty breast cancer patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy were selected from 2011 to 2014 and divided into chronotherapy group and conventional treatment group (conventional group) by random number table method with 25 cases each.Conventional group received conventional neoadjuvant chemotherapy and conventional drug treatment.Chronotherapy group received neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with chronochemotherapy and timely medication treatment,and applied clinical nursing care pathway.Both groups were conducted three cycles of chemotherapy,three weeks after the first and the second chemotherapy,the results of routine blood and liver function were compared in patients between two groups.The number of readmission and fever because of agranulocytosis were calculated.Results The two groups of patients were successfully completed three cycles of chemotherapy,after the first cycle of chemotherapy,the neutrophil was (4.40 ± 2.20)x109/L in chronotherapy group,and (3.18 ± 1.35) × 109/L in conventional group;after the second cycle of chemotherapy,the neutrophil was (3.95 ± 1.58) × 109/L,and (2.83 ± 1.49) x 109/L in conventional group,the two groups were statistically significant,t=2.375,2.563,P ＜0.05.Two cases needed readmission in chronotherapy group during chemotherapy,accounting for 8％(2/25),much lower than conventional group of 8 cases accounting for 32％(8/25).Conclusions The use of chronotherapy in breast cancer chemotherapy has less neutropenia,mild side effects of bone marrow suppression.It is an effective and safe viable option.

Objective: To evaluate the anti-tumor and side effects of activated-HLA haploidentical peripheral blood tem cells (haplo PBSCs) in the treatment of advanced refractory solid tumor patients. Methods: Forty-two patients with advanced refractory tumor, who were diagnosed in our hospital from Oct. 2004 to Oct. 2007, were enrolled in this study (all patients signed informed consent), including 12 with ovarian cancer, 9 with renal cancer, 8 with lung cancer, 8 with breast cancer, 2 with colon cancer, 2 with gastric cancer, and 1 with melanoma. The donors were healthy direct relatives of the patients; the donors' haplo-PBSCs were mobilized, collected, and activated by rhIL-2 in vitro. The clinical efficacy and side effects of haplo-PBSCs therapy were assessed by CT/PET-CT scanning, RESIST standard, KPS score, and clinical response rates, etc. Results: All 42 patients received one episode of haplo-PBSCs treatment. The progression-free survivals (PFS) were 6 months and the clinical beneficial rate (CR+PR+SD) was 73.8%. The beneficial rate of life quality was 76.2% and the KPS increased by 20 (0-30) points on average after haplo-PBSCs treatment. The patients with KIR unmatched in GVH direction had better outcomes than those with KIR matched or KIR unmatched in HVG direction (P<0.05), and the clinical beneficial rate, PFS and total beneficial rate were 94.1% vs 60.0%, (13.4±1.3) vs (8.0±0.9) months, and 89.5% vs 65.2%, respectively (all P<0.05). The donor/recipient relation as the mother/child had a better outcome than that as the father/child (P<0.05). Patients with renal cancer or ovarian cancer had better outcomes than those with other cancers, with clinical beneficial rates being 90.0% and 81.8%, respectively. Conclusion: Activated haplo-PBSCs therapy can induce non-specific anti-tumor effect, and improve the clinical symptom and life quality of advanced tumor patients.
