BACKGROUND:Ful-thickness articular cartilage injury is notoriously difficult to be treated in the fields of orthopedics and sports medicine. Al ogeneic bone and cartilage transplantation can offer a transparent cartilage with biological activity and biomechanical properties to repair ful-thickness articular cartilage defects. Al ogeneic osteochondral grafts from osteochondral tissue bank are adequate, and have a good prospect in the treatment of articular cartilage defects.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the drawn materials, preservation, quality control and clinical monitoring of al ogeneic osteochondral grafts supported by the osteochondral tissue bank.
METHODS:The first author searched PubMed and CNKI for the relevant articles published before 2013 using the key words of“tissue bank, knee, articular cartilage, preservation, transplantation”in English and Chinese, respectively. After retrieval, we summarized the drawn materials, preservation, quality control and clinical monitoring of al ogeneic osteochondral grafts supported by the osteochondral tissue bank.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nineteen of 194 retrieved articles were enrol ed according to inclusive and exclusive criteria. The results show that al ogeneic bone and cartilage transplantation is an ef ective method for the treatment of articular cartilage defects, and the establishment of the osteochondral tissue bank can provide safe and active tissues for the treatment of articular cartilage defects. Now, the osteochondral tissue bank is stil in the initial stage.

Lymphocytic hypophysitis(LH) is a rare but increasingly recognized autoimmune endocrine condition that causes partial or total hypopituitarism and is often associated with peripartum young women.We here report a 28-year-old patient who had a spontaneous and uneventful pregnancy following LH that had been treated with transspenoidal surgery and followed by anti-inflammatory agent.The woman failed to lactate and developed frontal headaches 3 months after normal delivery of her first child 3 years ago.Lab test showed the reduced concentrations of thyroxine,estradial and cortisol,suggesting hypopituitarism.Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain with contrast was performed and showed a uniformly enhancing pituitary mass with elevated optic chiasm.She underwent transsphenoidal surgery and histological examination of the resected specimen was consistent with lymphocytic hypophysitis.Anti-inflamation was started with prednisolone 40 mg per day because of a recurrence of headache that had completely recovered after surgery and regularly withdrawn to a long term maintenance dose of 10 mg per day.Physiological thyroxine replacement therapy was maintained.Her menstruation was restored without sex hormone replacement after 3 months.Three years after surgery,she got pregnant spontaneously and had normal breastfeeding after delivery.LH did not recur during this peripartum.

Objective To examine the effects of a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ ligand troglitazone on the proliferation and differentiation of HepG2 cells. Methods After the pretreatment of HepG2 cells with troglitazone, MTT and flow cytometry were used to analyze the proliferation and cell cycle of HepG2 cells, respectively. Immunocytochemistry, bromocresol green dye-binding method and chemiluminessence immunosorbent assay was used to determine E-cadherin, albumin and AFP, respectively. The expression of cyclin D1 and c-myc protein were detected by Western blot. Results Troglitazone inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner and arrested HepG2 ceils at the G0>/G1> phase. After pretreated with troglitazone, HepG2 cells showed E-cadherin expression, a decreased expression of cyclin D1 and c-myc protein, a reduction of AFP level and a dramatic increase of albumin level. Conclusions Troglitazone inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation of HepG2 cells, the mechanism of which might be attributable to the down-regulation of cyclin D1 and c-myc expression.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of extrahepatie recurrences after curative resection of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Clinicopathologic data of 238 curative resected cases of primary HCC were retrospectively reviewed for parameters affecting postoperative extrahepatic recurrences. Results During a median follow-up of 34 months (7 - 78 months), extrahepatic recurrences were observed in 32 out of 238 patients (13.4%). According to univariate analysis, the risk factors for extrahepatic recurrences were preoperative serum a-fetoprotein (AFP) level of > 1000 ng/ml,aspartate aminotransferase level of > 50 IU/L, presence of hepatic vein invasion, neighboring organ invasion, tumor satellites, and lack of tumor capsule formation. Preoperative serum AFP levels of > 1000 ng/ml, hepatic vein invasion, neighboring organ invasion proved to be independent risk factors by multivariate analysis. Conclusions Extrahepatic recurrences after curative resection of HCC was found to be related to preoperative serum AFP level of > 1000 ng/ml, hepatic vein invasion, and neighboring organ invasion.
