BACKGROUND: The free border of meniscus is avascular portion, for which, it is not susceptible for the meniscus to be cured naturally after injury. Therefore, it is necessary to induce fibrous tissue healing probably under certain situation.OBJECTIVE: To adopt tissue engineered cartilage and fibrin adhesive to treat meniscus injury in avascular portion and compare the results.DESIGN: Randomized group division and blank control experiment was designed.SETTING: Animal Laboratory of a Shenzhen Second People's Hospital.green-purplish-blue adult rabbits were selected, randomized into 3 groups,12 rabbits in each, named blank control, fibrin adhesive group(FA group)and tissue engineered cartilage group(TE-C group).METHODS: The experiment was performed in Animal Laboratory of Shenzhen Second People's Hospital from September 2003 to March 2004.Ten baby rabbits borne in 3 to 5 days were sacrificed to collect fibrochondrocytes for culture so as to prepare tissue engineered cartilage containing 12 × 108 L-1chondrocytes. Thirty-six adult rabbits were prepared into the injured model in avascular portion of meniscus (0. 7 × 0. 3) cm with full-thickness laceration. In blank control, no any filler was applied for management; in FA group, fibrin adhesive was infused in laceration; and in TE-C group, tissue engineered cartilage was infused in laceration. Four animals of each of 3 groups were sacrificed in the 2nd, 6th and 12th weeks after operation. Eight menisci were collected in each group each time for gross morphological observation and histological examination.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gross morphological observation and histological examination in injured meniscus model of rabbit.logical observation in injured meniscus model of rabbit: In blank control, the splits in meniscus were not been healed and tissue filler was not apparent. In FA and TE-C groups, the splits had been filled up with tissue fillers comblank control, 2 to 12 weeks after operation, there was chondrocyte proliferation presented on the border of splits. In FA group, 12 weeks after operation, on the defect border, there were many fibroblastic cells that closely adhered to adjacent tissue, resulting in scar tissue healing. In TE-C group,12 weeks after operation, cartilage cavities and capsule were apparent in the defect and chondrocftes were in cell condensation.CONCLUSION: Tissue engineered cartilage is survived in the acceptors, resulting in fibrocartilaginous healing and specific biological label of chondrocytes. But the remarkable difference presents in collagen arrangement among the repaired tissue, adjacent normal meniscus tissue and normal cartilage.

The effects of mifepristone (RU486) on the productions of plasminogen activator and progesterone in rat granulosa cells and luteal cells were studied by fibrin overlay method and radioimmunoassay method. The results showed that RU486 could significantly antagonize tPA activity and progesterone production enhanced by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Secretion of tPA from luteal cells was significantly promoted by RU486 with or without prostaglandin F2a (PGF2α), but progesterone production in luteal cells was markedly inhibited with the same treatment. With method of tissue culture, the results showed that RU486 was capable of stimulating tPA and urokinase (uPA) activity in endometrium of pregnant rats. These findings indicated that antifertility of RU486 might be partly mediated through plasminogen activator-plasminogen activator inhibitor system.

Objective To evaluate patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with morphine on breastfeeding neonatal neurological arid adaptive capacity after cesarean section.Methods Thirty healthy parturients after cesarean section under epidural block were randomly selected as test group, and thirty healthy parturients with natural childbirth served as control group without any opioids administration. In test group the patients received PCEA after cesarean section. The regimen included a loading dose of morphine 2mg, bupivacaine 12.5mg and droperidol 0.5mg in 10ml of normal saline, followed by background infusion at 2 ml?h~(-1) with an 2ml bolus dose and a 20min lockout interval. The PCEA solution contained morphine 20mg, bupivacaine 125mg and dreporidol 5 mg in 100ml of normal saline. The samples of intravenous blood and colostrums were taken 2, 4, 8,12 and 24 h after the loading dose administration for measurement of plasma and colostrums concentrations of morphine. The neonatal neurological and adaptive capacity scores(NACS) of both groups were recorded at corresponding time points, Results Concentrations of morphine in colostrum and plasma kept decreasing following the loading dose administration. There was a significant positive correlation between concentrations of morphine in colostrum and plasma (r=0.998, P

BACKGROUND:The strength of al-ceramic crowns is affected by many factors. At present there are many studies concerning the neck edge shape, cutting thickness, binder and convergence angle, but little has been reported on the effects of different occlusions on al-ceramic crowns. OBJECTIVE:To explore the maxilary central incisor al-ceramic crowns in different occlusal states by finite element analysis. METHODS: Three-dimensional finite element models of the maxilary central incisor al-ceramic crowns were established. Empress II and In-Ceram Zirconia were selected. The normal overbite position and deep overbite position were applied to force a load of 230 N, with the long axis of the tooth at a 45° angle. Distribution of inner stress and edge stress was analyzed at different occlusal states. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The stress distribution of al-ceramic crowns under different occlusion relationship was different. The stress peaks of cementum, alveolar bone and periodontium in the deep overbite were lower than those in the normal overbite. The stress peaks of al-ceramic crowns and binder were higher than in the deep overbite than the normal overbite. The stress peak of the dentin in the Empress II group was higher in the deep overbite than in the normal overbite. The stress peak of the dentin in the In-Ceram Zirconia group was lower in the deep overbite than in the normal overbite. Different al-ceramic crowns had no influence on the stress distribution, but in the deep overbite, the stress was mainly concentrated in the occlusal contact area, and in the normal overbite, the stress was mainly concentrated in the occlusal contact area and at the labial cervical margin. (2) The stress distribution of different al-ceramic crowns under the same occlusal state was different. In the normal overbite, different al-ceramic crowns had no evident influence on the stress peak, and in the deep overbite, there was a certain effect of different al-ceramic crowns on the stress peak, but there was no significant difference. The stress peaks of blinder and dentin were obviously affected by al-ceramic crowns. The stress peaks of blinder and dentin in Empress II group were higher than those in the In-Ceram Zirconia group.

Objective To observe changes of spacial learning and memory and the ultrastructure of hippocampus in perimenopausal depression model rats. Methods Thirty-six female SD rats were randomly divided into four groups(9 in each). Normal group wasn't given any stress, and stressed group was given isolation-housing in combination with chronic unexpected mild stress (CUMS) for 21 days. Ovariectomized group was given ovary resecting, and model group was made by resecting the ovaries of female rats, then giving isolation-housing in combination with 21 days of CUMS. Morris water maze test were used to test rats' behaviors. Light microscope and transmission electron microscope were used to observe the tissular structure of hippocampus. Results After ovaries resecting and 21 days of CUMS,the escape periods of rats in model group during the first three days ( (44.08 ± 18.29)s; ( 38.80 ± 19.07 ) s; ( 22.74 ± 14.13 ) s) were longer than ovariectomizd group ( (43.68 ± 10. 37 ) s; ( 20.28 ±17.75)s;(21.22 ± 11.91 )s] and normal group( (34.50 ± 11.08)s;(21.42 ± 14.32) s;( 13.94 ±9.76) s). HE staining showed that hippocampal pyramidal cell layer became thinner in rat model of depression,the gap between cells increased,and the cells arrayed in disorder,or loosely,even a large number of cells were lost. Transmission electron microscope showed that in rats of model group, hippocampal neurons were less, nuclear collapsed, the whole nuclear membrane was fuzzy and there were some local fractures in the nuclear membrane. Mitochondria within the cytoplasm were swelling and their ridges disappeared. Conclusion The decline of spacial learning and memory abilities in perimenopausal depression model rats might result from pathological changes in hippocampus.
