As more attention is given to people's life and health,China continues to increase investment in scientific research to improve the level of medical research. However,the efficiency of the investment is unknown.In this study,we used the method of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to investigate the input-output relative efficiency of the projects funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China and completed in 2009 at 17 research institutes.We found 11 institutes to be DEA efficient,and 6 to be inefficient.It also showed that adjustment of research structure and setting performance objectives may improve the level of research management and increase the efficency of the investment.

BACKGROUND: Revascularization is necessary for tissue-engineered bone implantation by osteogenesis to effectively repair bone defect.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) modified by bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) in combination with polylactic acid/polycaprolactone (PLA/PCL) to repair rabbit radial bone defect during the vascularization, and to investigate the promotive effects of BMP-2 gene on the vascularization of bone graft.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING: This study was performed in the Central Laboratory of China Medical University from January to December 2005.MATERIALS: PLA/PCL with 150-250 μm pore diameter and 90% interval porosity was provided by Changchun Applied Chemistry Institute, Chinese Academy of Science. Sixty 3-month-old New Zealand rabbits were selected in this study.METHODS: Sixty rabbits were randomly divided into four groups with 15 rabbits in each group. Subsequently, middle segments of bilateral radial bone were obtained to establish 1.5-cm bone defect models that were implanted with processed artificial bones. Adenovirus carrying BMP-2 (AD-BMP-2) group: Artificial bones were processed with transfected BMP-2 cells plus PLA/PCL; Control group: Artificial bones were processed with adenovirus carrying β-gal gene (Ad-Lacz) plus PLA/PCL; Non-transfection group: Artificial bones were processed with non-transfected cells plus PLA/PCL; PLA/PCL group: PLA/PCL alone for transplantation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Four, eight, and twelve weeks after surgery, X-ray was used to observe new bone formation; stereoscopic microscope to observe distribution of microvessels; haematoxylin-eosin staining to detect the relationship between microvessels and bone formation; transmission electron microscope to investigate the correlation between osteoblasts and vascular endothelial cells, detect vascular endothelial growth factor expression, and calculate the number of microvessels.RESULTS: Four postoperative weeks in the AD-BMP-2 group, numerous microvessels were observed; stent pore was full of cartilage calluses; active osteoblasts grew around microvessels; vascular endothelial growth factor expression and numbers of microvessels were higher and more than those in other groups. Eight postoperative weeks, osteoblasts gradually increased in the bone graft; microvessels circuitously expanded and connected each other; cartilage callus changed into trabecular bone. Twelve postoperative weeks, cortical bones were successive; medullary cavity recanalized; microvessels longitudinally arranged in order. Ability of bone formation in the control group and non-transfection group was weak, and vascular regeneration was slow; 12 postoperative weeks, bone defect was primarily repaired; microvessels were distributed along the pores of newborn bone trabecula. Newborn vessels were hard found in the PLA/PCL group at each time point. Twelve postoperative weeks, bone extremities sclerotized, and defect regions were fully filled by fiber tissues.CONCLUSION: Transfected BMP-2 gone by up-regulating vascular endothelial growth factor expression can indirectly induce vascularization of bone graft, promote survival of seed cells, and accelerate bone formation.

BACKGROUND: Tissue engineered bone constructed in vitro is a compound of cell and material; additionally, revascularization plays a key role in effectively repairing bone defect after transplantation of tissue engineered bone.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of antigen-extracted bovine cancellous bone stent combining with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) on vascularized reaction during reparative process of bone defect.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized grouping design and controlled animal study, which was performed at the Central Laboratory, China-Japan Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Jilin University.MATERIALS: Sixty rabbits of clean grade were selected in this study. Superior cancellous bone of bovine humerus was used to establish bovine cancellous bone stent. Recombinant adenovirus carrying human BMP-2 (Ad-BMP-2) and β -galactosidae gene (Ad-Lacz), and recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) were graciously presented by Dr. Oliver and Pro. Gao, Department of Pathology of Jilin University.METHODS: Marrow mesenchymal stem cells were extracted from 60 rabbits, and then they were transfected with BMP-2 adenovirus vector to repair 1.5-cm defects of radial bone of both upper extremities by combining with bovine cancellous bone transplantation. Rabbits were randomly divided into 5 group with 12 in each group: Ad-BMP-2 transfected cells+bovine cancellous bone group, non-transfected cells+rh-BMP-2+bovine cancellous bone group, Ad-Lacz transfected cells +bovine cancellous bone group, non-transfected cells + bovine cancellous bone group, and bovine cancellous bone group. Transplanted bone was fixed by tightly suturing tunica muscularis and anadesma.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: New bone formation was observed by X ray at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after surgery; microvascular ink perfusion was used to observe vascular distribution; transmission electron microscope was used to observe osteoblasts and vascularization; hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, alcian blue staining, and VonKossa staining were used to observe correlation between microvessels and bone formation; immunohistochemical staining of vascular endothelial growth factor was used to detect gray value; immunohistochemical staining of CD34 was used to specifically label vascular endothelial cells for microvascular amount.RESULTS: Sixty rabbits were included into the final analysis. X-ray and immunohistochemical examinations demonstrated that bone formation and vascularization in the Ad-BMP-2 transfected cells+bovine cancellous bone group and non-transfected cells+rh-BMP-2+bovine cancellous bone group were superior to those in other three groups. After four weeks, microvascular ink perfusion indicated that a branch of small vessels was formed in pore of trabecular bone. Vascular density was higher in the peripheral domains but lower in the central regions. Transmission electron microscope suggested that a lot of osteoblasts and new vascular buds with active function were observed four weeks after surgery. Mature lamellar bone was formed 12 weeks after surgery, and structure of new vessels was complete. Detection of vascular endothelial growth factor expression and microvascular amount indicated that content of vascular endothelial growth factor in the Ad-BMP-2 transfected cells+bovine cancellous bone group was significantly higher than that in other four groups (P<0.01), and microvascular amount was also significantly higher than that in other four groups (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: BMP-2 gene can indirectly induce vascularization of transplanted bone through up-regulating vascular endothelial growth factor expression, which is superior to rh-BMP-2.
