[Objective] To study the role of scaffold internal three dimensional structure of on vascularization of ?-TCP biomaterials in vivo.[Method]Twenty four adult rabbits were selected for operation.Two different three-dimensional structure ?-TCP biomaterials(wafer ?-TCP,the pore diameter was from 400 ?m to 500 ?m,the pore inter-connection diameter was 120 ?m;granulation ?-TCP,the particle diameter was from 100 ?m to 200 ?m)were implanted separately into fascia lumbodorsalis of every rabbit.The specimens were harvested in 1,2,4,8 weeks after surgery for histology,scanning electronic microscope(SEM)and SPECT studies in order to observe the vascularization of two different structure ?-TCP biomaterials in vivo.[Result]The biocompatibility of two different ?-TCP biomaterials was favourable.Only a few of immature blood capillaries were detected in some peripheral pores of two different biomaterials in one week after surgery.In four weeks of implantation,the result of histology indicated that the wafer artificial bone had vascularized completely.The number and lumens of blood vessel had increased.The peripheral blood vessel had been mature,showing vascularization crest-time.In eight weeks after sugery,there was no more increase of the number of blood vessel,while the lumens of blood vessel had increased.The mature capillaries were observed by chance.To compare with the wafer artificial bone,the vas cularization rate of the granulation artificial bone biomaterials was slower,and the number of blood vessel was less.On the other hand,the smaller lumens diameter and the infant structure existed in most of blood capillaries.Many blood vessels were not mature in four weeks,the vascular occlusion in some pores was detected.[Conclusion]The pore interconnection pathway in scaffolds is a key factor for vascularization.In other words,the higher density of pore interconnection pathway can induct more complete vascularization in scaffolds,and the diameter can restrict the lumens of blood vessel diameter.

Cell apoptosis is an important biological process. It plays an essential role on cell growth and response for outside stimulations. This review focused on the recent advancement of apoptotic signal transduction, enzymological mechanisms, the function of mitochondria in cell apoptosis as well as the regulation of genes.

Objective To explore relationships of expression of hypoxia?inducible factor?1α(HIF?1α), vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and protein kinase B(P?Akt)with angiopoiesis and cell apoptosis. Methods Biopsy specimens were collected from skin lesions of 32 patients with lichen planus and normal skin of 20 patients with lipomyoma, and subjected to paraffin embedding. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to measure expression of HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt, and TUNEL technique was used to detect apoptosis of keratinocytes in these paraffin?embedded tissue sections. Microvessel density (MVD)was assessed by counting CD34?labeled vascular endothelial cells. Results HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt were moderately or strongly expressed in lichen planus lesions, but absent or weakly expressed in normal skin of controls, and the expression of HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt was significantly higher in the lichen planus group than in the control group (all P < 0.01). HIF?1α was mainly expressed in nuclei of keratinocytes, while VEGF and P?Akt were expressed in the cytoplasm of keratinocytes. In addition, the lichen planus group showed significantly increased MVD(21.27 ± 6.54 vs. 10.26 ± 1.10 microvessels/high?power(200 ×)field, t = 5.607, P < 0.01)and apoptosis rate of keratinocytes(72.81% ± 9.234% vs. 28.16% ± 3.464%, t = 8.431, P < 0.01) compared with the control group. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlations between HIF?1αand VEGF expression, between VEGF and P?Akt expression, and between P?Akt and HIF?1αexpression in the lichen planus group(r=0.625, 0.453, 0.455, respectively, all P<0.01), and expression of HIF?1α, VEGF and P?Akt was all positively correlated with MVD(r=0.721, 0.646, 0.671, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusion HIF?1αand its downstream target genes VEGF and P?Akt may play a certain role in the occurrence of lichen planus.

Objective To investigate changes of serum levels of interleukin(IL)-4,-6,-8 and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?),and probe their clinical significance in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP)/ HenochSchonlein purpura nephritis(HSPN).Methods Serum levels of IL-4,-6,-8 and TNF-? of 45 children with HSP/HSPN and 43 healthy children were examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),changes and correlation between the aforementioned cytokines in children with HSP /HSPN were analyzed.Results 1.Serum levels of IL-4,-6,-8 and TNF-? of children with HSP were higher than those of control group(P0.05);The serum level of TNF-? was positively correlated to the serum levels of IL-6,-8 of patients with HSP(r=0.670 P

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effects of plasma exchange in severe hepatitis. Methods:53 cases served as treatment group and 49 cases as control group. Both groups were similar in basic medical treatment, and an additional treatment of plasma exchange was carried in the treatment group. 186 times of plasmas exchange were performed in the treatment group, to observe and compare the changes in patients of the 2 groups in symptoms、liver functions and survival rates. Results:The clinical symptoms of patients in the treatment group were obviously improved, the liver functions were also obviously improved in the treatment group as compared with the control group, and the survival rate of treatment group was higher than that of control group(73.58% vs 46.94%, P
