BACKGROUND:Compared with traditional two-dimensional culture,three-dimensional microtissue culture can show greater advantages.However,more favorable cultivation methods in three-dimensional culture still need to be further explored. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the cell behavior of microtissue and its ability to promote cartilage formation under two three-dimensional culture methods. METHODS:Cartilage-derived microcarriers were prepared by chemical decellularization and tissue crushing.DNA quantification and nuclear staining were used to verify the success of decellularization,and histological staining was used to observe the matrix retention before and after decellularization.The microcarriers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and CCK-8 assay.Cartilage-derived microtissues were constructed by combining cartilage-derived microcarriers with human adipose mesenchymal stem cells through three-dimensional static culture and three-dimensional dynamic culture methods.The cell viability and chondrogenic ability of the two groups of microtissues were detected by scanning electron microscopy,live and dead staining,and RT-qPCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Cartilage-derived microcarriers were successfully prepared.Compared with before decellularization,the DNA content significantly decreased after decellularization(P<0.001).Scanning electron microscope observation showed that the surface of the microcarrier was surrounded by collagen,maintaining the characteristics of the natural extracellular matrix of cartilage cells.CCK-8 assay indicated that microcarriers had no cytotoxicity and could promote cell proliferation.(2)Scanning electron microscopy and live and dead staining results showed that compared with the three-dimensional static group,the three-dimensional dynamic group had a more extended morphology of microtissue cells,and extensive connections between cells and cells,between cells and matrix,and between matrix.(3)The results of RT-qPCR showed that the expressions of SOX9,proteoglycan,and type Ⅱ collagen in microtissues of both groups were increased at 7 or 14 days.The relative expression levels of each gene in the three-dimensional dynamic group were significantly higher than those in the three-dimensional static group at 14 days(P<0.05).At 21 days,the three-dimensional static group had significantly higher gene expression compared with the three-diomensional dynamic group(P<0.001).(4)The results showed that compared with three-dimensional static culture microtissue,three-dimensional dynamic culture microtissue could achieve higher expression of chondrogen-related genes in a shorter time,showing better cell viability and chondrogenic ability.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Hyperuricemic nephropathy is a common cause of acute kidney injury. Resveratrol can ameliorate kidney injury, but the explicit mechanism remains unclear.We investigated the effects of resveratrol on the inflammatory response and renal injury in hyperuricemic rats.MATERIALS/METHODS: A rat model of hyperuricemic nephropathy was established by the oral administration of a mixture of adenine and potassium oxinate. Biochemical analysis and hematoxylin and eosin staining were performed to assess the rat kidney function. Enzymelinked immunosorbent assays were performed to evaluate the immune and oxidative responses. RESULTS: The expression levels of urine albumin and β2-microglobulin were significantly decreased after resveratrol treatment. In addition, the levels of serum creatinine and uric acid were significantly decreased in the resveratrol groups, compared with the control group.The levels of proinflammatory factors, such as interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α, in kidney tissue and serum were also increased in the hyperuricemic rats, and resveratrol treatment inhibited their expression. Moreover, the total antioxidant capacity in kidney tissue as well as the superoxide dismutase and xanthine oxidase levels in serum were all decreased by resveratrol treatment. CONCLUSIONS Resveratrol may protect against hyperuricemic nephropathy through regulating the inflammatory response.

Objective:To explore the path and relationship between social support and ruminant meditation of tuberculosis patients on their post-traumatic growth (PTG).Methods:A total of 156 patients treated from January 2018 to August 2019 were selected as the research objects. The social support rating scale, event-related ruminant meditation questionnaire, and post-traumatic growth rating scale were used for investigation and analysis, and 150 valid questionnaires were obtained. The path analysis method was used to analyze the mutual influence between people.Results:The patient ′s post-traumatic growth, social support and ruminant meditation scores were (62.71±12.28), (38.19±9.79) and (27.28±11.18) points, respectively; social support and purposeful ruminant meditation directly affected tuberculosis patient's PTG (effect value was 0.57); social support indirectly positively affected the patient's PTG through purposeful ruminant meditation (indirect value was 0.77), and purposeful ruminant meditation was the mediating variable. Conclusion:The PTG, ruminant contemplation level and social support of pulmonary tuberculosis patients need to be improved. Social support can directly and indirectly affect the PTG level of pulmonary tuberculosis patients.

Objective:To explore the advantages of the novel individualized 3D printing artificial vertebral body in spine reconstruction and to evaluate its clinical effect.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, the 15 patients who underwent total vertebrectomy and spine reconstruction with individualized 3D printing artificial vertebral body were analyzed retrospectively. There were 8 males and 7 females, with the mean age 39.5 years (range: 20-57), including 12 primary tumors and 3 metastatic tumors. According to tumor location and surrounding soft tissue invasion range, simple posterior or combined anterior and posterior approach were used for total vertebral resection, and the defection was reconstructed by 3D printing artificial vertebral body. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative stability of artificial vertebral body and bone ingrowth of adjacent vertebral body, preoperative and postoperative neurological changes, preoperative and postoperative VAS score, local control and survival of patients were analyzed.Results:The mean operation time was 412.0 min (range: 135-740 min), and the mean blood loss was 4 140.0ml (range: 100-14 000 ml). The mean follow-up time was 23.2 months (range: 12-35 months), and no one loss to follow-up. One case had pleural rupture, one case had cerebrospinal fluid leakage and one case had L5 nerve root palsy. All patients recovered after active symptomatic treatment. Compare with the preoperative VAS score (4.7±1.1), the differences of VAS score at 7 d postoperative and last follow-up (1.6±0.6 and 1.0±0.5) were significantly reduced ( P<0.001). Three patients with Frankel grade C gradually recovered to grade D, and no change were found in grade D and Grade E patients, there was no significant improved at last follow-up. Preliminary bone growth was found between the artificial vertebral body and the adjacent vertebral body 3 months after operation. The bone growth was more obvious at 12 months post-operation, and the artificial vertebral body fused with the adjacent vertebral bodies to form bone integration. At 24 months post-operation, the integration of the artificial vertebral body was more accurate. During the follow-up period, there was no loosening or displacement of the artificial vertebral body and no failure of internal fixation. A case of hemangioendothelioma and a case of epithelioid angiosarcoma died at 33 months and 35 months postoperatively. One patient with chondrosarcoma had local recurrence at16 months post-operation. After treated with arotinib, the tumor did not progress. The other 12 patients had no tumor recurrence or distant metastasis. Conclusion:After spinal tumor resection, individualized 3D printing artificial vertebral body can be used to accurate restoration of spinal continuity, and provide nice interface matching and bone growth between artificial vertebral body and the adjacent vertebral endplates. Moreover, the immediate and long-term stability of the artificial vertebral body can meet the needs of spinal reconstruction.

Objective: To classify the expression of RyR2 in the brain of prion infected hamsters. Methods: Immunohistochemical assays was used to verify that the location of RyR2 in the brain slices of hamster. Assays of the brain samples of intracranial inoculation of scrapie infected hamster (agent 263 K) and normal hamster were tested to evaluate the RyR2 expression by Western Blotting. Immunofluorescent assays were used to verify the co-location between RyR2 and PrP protein. Results: RyR2 mainly located in cortex and Purkinje cells with parts of which are distributed in thalamus, hippocampus and olfactory bulb. The expression of RyR2 significantly decreased in the 263 K infected hamster at terminal stage. The Immunofluorescence tests showed that RyR2 was colocalized with PrP protein. Conclusions The experimental data showed that RyR2 may play a crucial role in prion disease, which might be closely linked to the cognition impairment and neuron loss. The relation between RyR2 and prion disease still needs further research.

Objective: The expression of WNT5A is associated with aggressive tumor biology and poor clinical outcomes of various types of cancer. However, its function in the cell migration of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) should be elucidated. Methods:The expres-sion of WNT5A in SCLC and normal lung tissues was detected by immunohistochemisty. The correlation between the expression and clinical characteristics of WNT5A was analyzed. The function of WNT5A in regulating cell migration was studied in DMS153 cell line in vitro. Small interfering RNA (SiRNA) was used to knock down WNT5A. Wound healing and Transwell tests were used to determine the migration rate of DMS153. The phosphorylated JNK expression was detected by Western blot analysis. Results:The WNT5A expression was higher in SCLC tissues than that of normal lung tissues. WNT5A was correlated with clinical stages, lymph nodes, and distance me-tastasis in SCLC. The high expression of WNT5A was accompanied by abnormal levels of NSE and Pro-GRP. The WNT5A phosphoryla-tion of JNK promoted cell migration in vitro. Conclusion:The expression of WNT5A in SCLC is high and correlated with tumor metasta-sis. The influence of WNT5A/JNK on the cell migration property of DMS153 supports the concept that WNT5A can initiate the cell mi-gration of SCLC, which suggested that WNT5A may be a marker and can be potentially used as an effective therapeutic target for the SCLC metastasis.
