Polymer hydrogels composed of highly hydrated crosslinked network mimic the composites of the cartilage extracelular matrix and are embedded with articular chondrocytes not only to support chondrocytes growth but also to promote chondrocytes proliferation and division which wil induce the cartilage regeneration and repair. OBJECTIVE:To review several kinds of natural polymer hydrogels and their newest progress and achievements. METHODS:Relative literatures from January 1994 to July 2013 were classified and analyzed by searching the databases through PubMed, Springer, Sciencedirect and Ovid databases using the keywords of “natural polymers, biodegradable polymers, hydrogel scaffold, articular cartilage, regeneration”.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Natural proteins (colagen, gelatin) and polysaccharides (chitosan, hyaluronic acid) are widely used as natural polymer hydrogels. The natural polymer hydrogels have not only the physical characters beneficial to articular cartilage regeneration, but also the important biological parameters, such as biocompatibility, low immunological response, low cytotoxicity and degradation. Meanwhile, the polymer hydrogels with natural origin can promote celladhesion, proliferation and division, and enhance the regeneration of new tissue. Moreover, they also can serve as carriers to sustain the release of drugs and growth factors. Al in al, natural polymer hydrogels have a potential application in articular cartilage regeneration and repair.

Objective To develop a newly designed guide and evaluate its clinic application prospect in treatment of patella fracture. Methods In our mechanical experiment, we carried out the tensile test of the two generation drilling guides by biomechanics machine and then analyzed the difference in their deformation. In the corpse experiment , we transversed fractures at the equator of the patella obtained from 10 fresh cadaver speci-mens. They were divided into 2 groups randomly: a test group and a control group. The second-generation of the aiming guide was used for the test group but not for the control group during the experiment. Then we evaluated its clinic application in the treatment of patella fracture. Results In the mechanical experiment, the displace-ment of the first generation guide was significantly larger than that of the newly one. The accuracy in the place-ment of k-wires by the second generation guide was significantly higher than by the first generation guide (P <0.05). Conclusions The drilling guide is reasonable in design and convenient in use. Moreover, it can improve the accuracy and quality of insertion of tension-band wiring of patellar fractures. The second-generation one is better and thus it is worth clinically spreading.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among freshmen in a vocational college in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into tuberculosis control in vocational colleges.
Methods :
All freshmen enrolled in a vocational college in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in 2020 were recruited and participants' demographics, life style, history of tuberculosis contacts, frequency of ventilation and disinfection in dormitories and classrooms and awareness of core tuberculosis control knowledge were collected through questionnaire surveys. LTBI was detected among freshmen by means of purified protein derivative test (PPD skin test) and chest X-ray scans, and the factors affecting LTBI were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 5 463 freshmen were screened for LTBI, with a screening rate of 100.00%, and the participants included 2 151 men and 3 312 women, with a male/female ratio of 0.65︰1, and had a mean age of (16.83±1.05) years. A total of 388 freshmen were detected with LTBI, with a detection rate of 7.10%, and no active pulmonary tuberculosis was detected. The prevalence of LTBI was 9.44% in men and 5.59% in women. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified males (OR=1.587, 95%CI: 1.281-1.965), smoking (OR=2.108, 95%CI: 1.355-3.278) and a history of tuberculosis of families (OR=2.851, 95%CI: 1.615-5.034) as risk factors for LTBI among freshmen, and knowing core tuberculosis control knowledge as a protective factor of LTBI among freshmen (OR=0.276, 95%CI: 0.218-0.350).
Conclusions
The risk of LTBI was associated with gender, smoking, history of tuberculosis of families and understanding of the core tuberculosis control knowledge among freshmen in this vocational college in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Health education about the core tuberculosis control knowledge is recommended to be reinforced among students in vocational colleges in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
