OBJECTIVE: To investigate the progress of clinical application of implant during distraction osteogenesis in the jaw bones, and to evaluate its biocompatibility.METHODS: The first author retrieved CNKI database from 1989 to 2009 in Chinese and Medline database from 1989 to 2009 in English with the key words of "jaw, distraction osteogenesis, treatment". A total of 56 articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, 20 articles concerning treatment progress of distraction osteogenesis and clinical application of implant were included.RESULTS: Distraction osteogenesis implants contained intraoral or extraoral distraction device, which could be used for distraction of transport plate. A distraction was selected in accordance with patients' condition and requirement. Distraction osteogenesis had been an important manner for complicated tooth jaw facial deformity and jaw defect in oral dentofacial surgery and Orthodontic treatment. It could have effective osteogenesis in combination with various systemic therapy, local therapy and physical therapy. Presently, distraction osteogenesis implants were metal materials. Metal implants have great advantages in preventing bacterium growth, keeping implant fixation and distraction effects, and the price was high. However, the cost of Ni-Ti memory alloy wire was lower compared with common retractors. The fixing device and alloy wire closely adhered to the bone could be completely implanted into tissues, with the advantages of anti-infection and completely closing the exterior and interior wound. CONCLUSION: Distraction osteogenesis is a new method for treating dental and craniofacial hypodevelopment straightening of teeth and for repairing jaw bone defect deformation. Biocompatibility of metal implants was good such as internal small Ni-Ti memory alloy wire. The biocompatibility of other types of implants should be improved.

The bone morphogenetic protein(BMP),as a member of the transforming growth factor beta(TGF-?) family,plays a pivotal role in the formation,induction,maintenance and repair of the bone.The expression level of BMPs has a direct influence on the differentiation of mesenchymal osteoprogenitors and the regulation of osteoblastic features.Among BMPs,BMP-2 is the most widely studied and has the strongest activity in inducing bone formation.This article reviews the current advances in researches on BMP-2 for bone repair.

Objective To identify the risk factors for surgical site infections after operation of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), so as to provide warning signs for preventing such incidents. Methods The data of 4042 LC patients from January 2003 to December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. The risk factors for surgical site infections were identified among demographic data, preoperative patients′history, and operative data using multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results Surgical site infections after LC was seen in 7.2% (291/4042) of the patients. Multivariate analysis identified the following parameters as risk factors for surgical site infections: additional surgical procedure ( OR 4.011, 95%CI 2.149-7.486), age over 55 years (OR 2.398, 95%CI 1.777-3.235), conversion to open procedure (OR 2.647, 95%CI 1.935-3.621), postoperative hematoma (OR 1.910, 95%CI 1.192-3.060), duration of operation >60 min (OR 2.493, 95%CI 1.710-3.635), cystic stump insufficiency (OR 12.451, 95%CI 4.169-37.189), gallbladder perforation (OR 6.161, 95%CI 2.365-16.047), gallbladder empyema (OR 1.704, 95%CI 1.080-2.689), and surgical revision (OR 15.725, 95%CI 10.439-23.686). Surgical site infections were associated with a significantly prolonged hospital stay (P<0.01), higher postoperative mortality (P<0.01), and increased rate of surgical revision (P<0.01). Conclusions Additional surgical procedure is identified as a strong risk factor for surgical site infections after LC. Furthermore, operation time >60 min, age >55 years, conversion to open procedure, cystic stump insufficiency, postoperative hematoma, gallbladder perforation, gallbladder empyema, or surgical revision were identified as specific risk factors for surgical site infections after LC.

Objective To explore the feasibility of the hydrogel as a cell carrier for parathyroid cells.Methods Cryopreserved parathyroid cells were recovered and cultured until sufficient,then the cells were digested、centrifuged and pipetted to single-cell suspension.The chitosan solution,crosslinking agents and cell suspension were mixed to hydrogels by some ratio.After that,hydrogels covered by complete medium were incubated at 37 ℃ in constant temperature incubator.Meanwhile,the supernatant were collected for measuring the PTH level every other day and the viability and shape of cells in hydrogels was also evaluated by fluorescopy.Results Parathyroid cells were recovered and cultured successfully and the adherent cells were spindle-like.The hydrogel could be prepared at room temperature in less than 1 minutes.The fluorescent confocal microscopy showed that more than 90％ of the cells in the hydrogel kept viable after 24 hours and the proportion had no significant change after 3 days.Furthermore,PTH was detected in the supernatants.Conclusion The facilely prepared inexpensive hydrogel,which can maintain normal morphlology and function of cells,is of potential application to cell transplantation therapy for hypopatathyroidism.

Th17 cells have recently emerged as a third independent helper T(Th) cell subset that is different from the classical Th1 and Th2 cells.Th17 cells can specifically secrete IL-17 and play an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis.In this article, we review the origin and differentiation regulation of Th17 cells, the relationship between IL-17 and tumor microenvironment, angiogenesis and metastasis, and try to provide a new direction for the diagnosis and treatment of tumor.

Coordinated care delivery is faced with various challenges to carry out in China,which are major decisions to make for decision makers,including how to push forward,how to deliver resources, services and patients to primary institutions,and how to ease the difficulties and affordability of seeing doctors.Based on analysis of roadblocks in coordinated care delivery in China,the authors provided near-term and long-term policy recommendations on the system,including how to build a scientific and reasonable healthcare delivery system,coordinated care delivery by stages,building incentives and constraint mechanisms,and enhancing public awareness and patient-doctor education.

Concept of coordinated care delivery is clearly defined,before a comparative analysis is made between such a concept and the integrated care delivery concept which is popular overseas and similar.On such basis,a theory framework is established for building and implementing such care delivery in line with the integrated theory of care delivery systems.Coordinated care delivery system now in place in China aims at rationally delivering medical resources,services and patients to primary institutions,by means of efficiently distributing resources and service systems and integrating care delivery flows,thus offering patients with cost effective and appropriate services and optimizing the care delivery system.

Objective To explore the methods of induced tolerance in rats renal allotransplantation and provide a theoretical basis for clinical use. Methods Orthotopic renal transplantation from Wistar rats to SD rats was used as a model of study. The experimental rats were divided into the following groups: Group Ⅰ as isotransplantation control group, Ⅱ as acute rejection control group, respectively. Group Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ were treated with aminoguanidine (AG), calcitriol and the combined use of calcitriol and AG, respectively. The survival time of recipients was observed, meanwhile, the donor specific mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and concentrations of IFN-?, Ca 2+ and P 3+ in serum were measured. HE staining inspected all specimens of kidney grafts. Results The recipient survival time in the groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ were ( 9.1 ? 1.9 ),( 5.3 ? 0.8 ),( 9.7 ? 2.1 ),( 8.6 ? 1.6 )and( 12.9 ? 3.4 )days, respectively. There was significant difference in recipient survival time between group Ⅴ and group Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P
