BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that theβ-tricalcium phosphate can be combined with other macromolecular compounds to improve the mechanical strength and histocompatibility, meeting the requirements of clinical application. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the selection and preparation methods of composite scaffold in bone tissue engineering, and to describe the problems we are facing. ＜br> METHODS:The first author retrieved PubMed, Google Scholar, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases by computer using the keywords of“β-tricalcium phosphate,β-TCP, PLGA, PLA, scaffold, prepare”in English and Chinese, respectively. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:β-tricalcium phosphate combined with polylactic acid-glycolic acid/polylactic acid as bone tissue engineering scaffolds has achieved a great progress. At present, the organic polymer composite scaffolds can be prepared by microsphere sintering, fiber bonding, solvent casting/particulate leaching, emulsification/freeze drying technology, gas foaming method, phase separation technology, rapid prototyping technology and electrostatic spinning method.β-tricalcium phosphate composite scaffolds with polylactic acid-glycolic acid/polylactic acid can be customizable so as to meet different requirements for bone tissue engineering, which can improve the porosity, mechanical properties and biodegradation by improving fabrication techniques and processings, ratio of raw materials and fil er proportion.

AlM:To compare the results of lOL Master, contact and immersion A-scan ultrasound measurements for anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) , and evaluate the difference and consistency.METHODS:Fifty-eight cases (98 eyes) with age-related cataract during July to October in 2013 did the A-scan ultrasound with contact and immersion measurements and lOL Master to get the results of ACD. Difference in measurements between methods was assessed using the variance analysisi. Consistency was assessed using Bland-Altman.RESULTS:The ACD measured by lOL Master was 2. 31~3. 90mm, the mean was 3. 03 ± 0. 38mm. The ACD measured by contact A- scan ultrasound was 1. 51 ~4. 06mm, the mean was 2. 88 ± 0. 56mm. The ACD measured by immersion A-scan ultrasound was 1. 99 ~4. 17mm, the mean was 3. 17±0. 38mm. The results of lOL Master and contact A - scan ultrasound had statistical differences (P=0. 022<0. 05). The results of lOL Master and immersion A - scan ultrasound had statistical differences (P=0. 031<0. 05). The results of contact A-scan ultrasound and immersion A-scan ultrasound had statistical differences (P=0. 000<0. 05). The consistency between three methods was poor. CONCLUSlON: The rank of ACD of patients with cataract is immersion A-scan ultrasound, lOL Master and contact A-scan ultrasound. The consistency is poor, and the three methods can’t be interchanged clinically.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the role of the central lymph node dissection in the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma. METHOD: Collect 136 patients who underwent thyroidectomy with papillary thyroid carcinoma in our hospital in 2011-2012,all are conducted with lymph node dissection in the central area as well as resection of primary lesion. Functionl lateral neck lymph node dissection were used for patients with clinical lateral neck lymph node metastasis. RESULT: In 136 patients, 56. 6%(77/136) of the central lymph node metastasis were detected. Positive rate was 47. 5% in 101 cN0 patients and 82. 9% in 35 cN1 patients. CONCLUSION In the case of not increasing risk of surgery, resection of thyroid cancer primary lesion the central lymph node at the same time is a surgical procedure to be recommended.

Objective To explore the characteristics of uhrasonography of hepatobiliary cystadenoma. Methods The ultrasonographic characteristics of 5 cases with hepatobiliary cystadenoma were retrospectively analysed, and compared with the operation and pathology. Results The ultrasonography of 5 cases was multilocular cystic mass,which seems to be,but not indeed communicating with the biliary tree,in which irregular septation was demonstrated in two-dimensional structure and also with perforator vessels along in color Doppler flow imagineg. And in some cases small papillary tuft and small loci of calcification was noted on the septation. Conclusions Muhilocular cystic mass,locating along the biliary tree, however not communicating with the the biliary tree, is an important diagnostic basis of biliary cystadenoma. And it should be distinguished with other cystic tumor in the liver.

In this article we discuss the correlation between the functional defection of beta cell and its pathogenesis in traditional Chinese medicine;we summarize numbers of studies on Chinese medicine's effect on beta cell in different aspects through ways of experiment and clinical research,thus reflecting the unique effect of Chinese medicine in curing diabetes mellitus and improving the function of beta cell and at last proposing the direction of further study on this subject.

[Objective] To observe imaging changes of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Protrusion(LIDP)treated by Leverage Location manipulation.[Methods] 33 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion were observed(male=19,female=14),4 cases of expand type,25 cases of the outstanding type,4 cases of the free type.Using lever to observe the CT imaging of the cases.[Results]The 24 cases had no change in degree of Intervertebral Disc Protrusion while 9 cases had the changes.29 cases changed the compression relation between the nerve root and the lumbar intervertebral protrusion.Another 4 cases had nothing changed.[Conclusion] Leverage location manipulation has a little effect on changing the degree of the lumbar intervertebral protrusion,but can change compression relation between the nerve root and the lumbar intervertebral protrusion which proves that leverage location manipulation has effect on curing the LIDP.

Objective Evaluated NOS expression in bladder tissue from the patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder and studied its relationship with angiogenesis. Methods Bladder carcinoma tissue specimens were procured from 58 patients with TCC and 14 cases of benign bladder tissue as contrast group. NOS immunohistochemistry was performed on all tissue specimens and microvessal density (MVD) was counted by endothelial cells immunostained. Results Inducible NOS specific proteins were found in 47 of 58 bladder cancer specimens but not in control bladder tissue. The malignant cells and inflammatory cells within the carcinomas were highly iNOS positive whereas specimens of bladder mucosa outside the malignant regions showed only a weak positive iNOS immunostaining. The endothelial cells in both normal urothlium and tumor tissue showed a highly positive eNOS immunostaining but its immunoreaction was not detected in either malignant or benign epithelium. MVD was (39.3?19.5)/HP and (29.3?10.5)/HP in iNOS positive and negative tissues respectively (P
