BACKGROUND:Cartilage is an avascular tissue and has a limited capacity for self-repair after injury. There are various methods for the treatment of articular cartilage injury ranging from conservation therapy to invasive surgery. With the development of tissue engineering technology, it provides a new way for treating articular cartilage injury. OBJECTIVE:To review the new development of tissue engineering technology for repairing articular cartilage injury. METHODS:The PubMed database and CNKI database were retrieved for articles from 2000 to 2013 by the first author with computer in May 2013. The key words were“cartilage tissue engineering, cartilage defect, stem cell, scaffold, growth factor”in English and Chinese. A total of 64 articles were included which related to cartilage regeneration and cartilage tissue engineering. For the articles in the same field, those published recently or in authorized journals were selected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The three elements of cartilage tissue engineering, seed cells, scaffolds and cytokines, must be coordinated and mutual y beneficial development. At present, the research of tissue engineering for repairing articular cartilage injury has made a great progress. But the application in clinic has not enforced yet which is limited in experimental exploration stage. With the continuous development of new materials, the new tissue engineering cartilage repair materials should meet the requirement of material science and biological science, thus making the materials closely meet the biological characteristics of the self tissues. The animal studies wil turn to clinical experiments with the support of new technique, which make a breakthrough in the treatment of articular cartilage injury.

Objective To discuss how to improve the current status on clinical therapy for advanced gastric carcinoma. Methods Related literatures searched on Medline were collected and reviewed. Results The 5th edition of UICC/AJCC TNM staging system of gastric carcinoma is useful to evaluate the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric carcinoma followed by extended lymphadenectomy. There are many factors influencing their prognosis including disease stage, extent of lymphadenectomy, assistant therapy and so on. Conclusion It is significant for patients with advanced gastric carcinoma to undergo individualized extended lymphadenectomy and comprehensive therapy to improve their prognosis after radical gastrectomy

[Objective]To observe the effects of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) transplantation on the brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) and growth associated protein-43(GAP-43) after the spinal cord injury(SCI) of rats, and to investigate the mechanism of repairing the SCI by MSCs transplantation. [Method]Seven days after the operation of SCI,the MSCs were transplanted into the injured site. Then GAP-43 and BDNF were tested by RT-PCR. By means of above,the mechanism of repairing the SCI after the cell transplantation was investigated.[Result]Compared with group B, transplantation of MSCs enhanced the expression of BDNF mRNA and GAP-43 mRNA in the spinal cord of group A, improved the neuron regeneration.[Conclusion] The transplantation of MSCs can repair the injuried site and promote the regeneration of axon by enhanced the expression of BDNF mRNA and GAP-43 mRNA. It is one of the mechanism of repairing the SCI by MSCs transplantation.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the application situation of anesthetic sedative agents in our hospital.METHODS:11945prescriptions of anesthetic sedative agents in inpatient department of our hospital during the period of2001～2003were statistically analyzed.RESULTS:There were5kinds of commonly used anesthetic sedative agents in3dosage types alto-gether;the anesthetic sedatives agents were mainly used in patients ranging from40～50years old;the drug use index(DUI)of all the kinds were all less than1,with the DUI of the majority at no more than0.5.CONCLUSION:Anesthetic sedative dosage for the treatment of cancer of late stage is lower than one needed,which suggests that sufficient dosage should be given to the cancer suffering patients by the physician.

Glaucomais a group of diseases characterized by optic atrophy and visual field defect.In China,primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is the most common type of glaucoma.The mechanism of glaucoma has many theories,such as mechanical theory and vascular theory.Recent researches found that inflammation may be involved in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.A variety of proinflammatory cytokines significantly increased in aqueous humor of patients with PACG.In this study,we summarized the methods for the detection of aqueous humor,and analyzed the mechanism of the increasing of proinflammatory cytokines in the aqueous humor of patients with PACG.

Objective To investigate the effects of low-pressure carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum (CLC) and gasless abdominal distension (GLC) on elderly patients during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data,including operation time,hospital stay,surgical complications,and changes of other systems,of 36 elderly patients were analyzed. All the patients were older than 65 years when they received laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2007. Among the cases,CLC (CO2 pressure:8-10 mm Hg) was used in 24,and GLC was employed in 12. The fourth generation artificial rib lifting apparatus was used for GLC. Results All the procedures were completed by laparoscopy,no patient was converted to open surgery. The operation time of the CLC and GLC groups was (46.2?14.8) min and (52.4?18.6) min respectively (t=-1.087,P=0.285). The vital signs of all the cases were stable during the operation,no carbon dioxide retention or cardiovascular affairs occurred. The hospital stay was (10.5?6.8) d in group CLC and (8.9?5.5) d in group GLC (t=0.706,P=0.485). The patients were followed up for 6 to 42 months,no complications occurred during the period. Conclusions GLC is safe for elderly patients with similar efficacy to that of low-pressure CLC.

Objective To investigate the regulation of Sertoli cells on differentiation balance of allogeneic regulatory T cell (Treg)and T helper cell(Th17).Methods Sertoli cells ,bone marrow‐derived dendritic cells(DC) and T lymphocytes were iso‐latedandculturedinvitro.SertolicellsandDCcellswereco‐culturedwithallogeneicTcells,respectively.MorphologyofSertoli cells were verified under the light microscope and electron microscope. The expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)‐Ⅱ and B7‐H1 in Sertoli cells was detected by Western blot.Concentration of cytokines[transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β1 and IL‐17A etc. ] in supernatant was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The frequency of Treg cells differentiated from na?ve T cells was estimated by flow cytometry.Results Sertoli cells were successfully isolated and cultured in vitro.Western blot results showed the expression of MHC‐Ⅱ and B7‐H1 on Sertoli cells surface was increased significantly ,when Sertoli cells were co‐cultured with allogeneic na?ve CD4+ T cells(CD4+ CD62 L+CD25)in vitro.ELISA re‐sults showed the TGF‐β1 concentration in culture supernatant was significantly increased [from (174.89 ± 23.51) pg/mL to (823.10 ± 59.07) pg/mL ,P<0.05] .Flow cytometry results showed Na?ve T cells(CD4+CD62 L+CD25-)were induced to dif‐ferentiate into CD25+ Foxp3+ T cells(from <1.0% up to 27.6% )by co‐cultured with Sertoli cells.And incubation with Sertoli/Treg supernatant(STS)significantly reduced the concentration of IL‐17A in the mixed culture supernatant of DC cells /Na?ve CD4+ T cell[from (361.58 ± 80.27) pg/mL to (137.54 ± 52.19) pg/mL ,P<0.05]. The percentage of IL‐17A+ T cells subset was also significantly decreased(27.2% to 17.9% ,P<0.05).Conclusion The anti‐inflammatory cytokines and immune sup‐
pressive cytokines derived from Sertoli cells can induce allogeneic na?ve T cells to differentiate into CD25+ Foxp3+ Treg cells in vitro.Sertoli cells can regulate the differentiation balance of allogeneic Treg/Th17 to induce the immune tolerance.
