BACKGROUND: Strontium-doped calcium polyphosphate (SCPP) is a new type of bone repair materials with good biocompatibility and controlled degradation. The preliminary studies of our group indicate their role in promoting angiogenesis,but its mechanism is unclear.OBJECTIVE: By co-culturing osteoblasts ROS17/2.8 with SCPP in vitro to observe cell proliferation and the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A contrast study was performed at the Laboratory of Tissue Engineering of Sichuan University from October 2008 to June 2009.MATERIALS: A series of calcium polyphosphate (CPP) respectively containing 0%, 1 %, 2%, 5%, 8%, and 10% Sr~(2+) were prepared. ROS17/2.8 osteoblastic cell strain was provided by Laboratory of Transplantation Immunity and Transplantation Engineering, West China Hospital, Sichuan University.METHODS: ①Preparation of cell scaffold complexes: The materials were placed in 24-well plates, then 300 μL cell suspension with a concentration of 2×10~7 cells/Lwas inoculated into each hole. These complexes were cultured for 14 days and the liquid was changed every two days. ②These complexes were measured by MTT assay to observe the proliferation of osteoblasts on the 1~(st), 3~(rd), 5~(th), 7~(th), 10~(th) and 14~(th) days, respectively. ③ The centrifugal supernatant of the complex cultured for seven days was measured by ELISA assay to check the secretion of VEGF.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The proliferation of osteoblastic cells on SCPP and CPP was observed. The amount of VEGF protein secreting from osteoblastic cells was detected.RESULTS: The results of MTT showed that, compared with the CPP group, SCPP groups could promote the proliferation of osteoblasts, and 8% SCPP group was the best; ELISA results showed that, compared with the CPP group, SCPP groups could increase the amount of VEGF protein secretion, of which the promoting role of 8% SCPP was the most obvious (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: When cultured with osteoblasts, SCPP can promote cell proliferation, and can significantly increase the secretion of VEGF; moreover, 8% SCPP is the best, which reveals a certain mechanism of its promoting angiogenesis.

BACKGROUND: Strontium-doped calcium polyphosphate (SCPP), as a new repairing material, has been demonstrated to have favorable biocompatibility and biodegradability and some effects on promoting self-angiogenesis. However, the mechanism remains still unknown. OBJECTIVE: Endothelial cells were cultured with SCPP scaffolds in vitro, as well as the cell proliferation and angiogenic factor matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) secretion were observed. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: A contrast study was performed at the Laboratory of Tissue Engineering of Sichuan University from September 2008 to April 2009. MATERIALS: A series of calcium polyphosphate (CPP) respectively containing 1 %, 2%, 5%, 8%, and 10% Sr~(2+) were prepared.METHODS: ① Materials were plated on 24-well culture plate,and endothelial cell suspension (300 μL) were seeded on 24-well culture plate at the concentration of 3×10~7/L and cultured with 200 uL RPMI1640 culture media. Endothelial cell proliferation was observed using MTT method at days 1,3,5, and 7 after culture. ② CPP and 8% SCPP were plated on 24-well culture plate, and endothelial cell suspension (300 uL) was then incubated in 24-well culture plate at the concentration of 1x10~8/L and cultured with 600 uL RPMI1640 culture media. The morphology of endothelial cells was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at day 5 after culture.③ Endothelial cells were co-cultured with SCPP of various Sr~(2+) contents for 5 days. After confluence, cells were centrifuged to obtain supernatant. Angiogenic factor MMP-2 secretion was evaluated by ELISA assay.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The proliferation and morphology of endothelial cells on SCPP and CPP were observed. The amount of endothelial cells-derived MMP-2 protein secretion was detected. RESULTS: MTT method demonstrated that the proliferation of endothelial cells on the 8% SCPP scaffold showed a higher level compared to CPP, and other SCPP groups. Scanning electron microscope results suggested that endothelial cells on 8% SCPP had a better growth status and biological activity. ELISA results indicated that angiogenic factor MMP-2 expression on the SCPP was promoted compared with that of CPP, and 8% SCPP showed the highest expression (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: SCPP has good compatibility with endothelial cells,promoting angiogenesis and enhancing the angiogenic factor MMP-2 expression.

The aim of this experiment is to graft synthesizing Arg-Gly-Asp peptides (RGD) on the surface of polymer materials, combine endothelial cells with its special site, enhance the adhesion of endothelial cells on the surface, promote the blood compatibility of the biomaterials. Carboxy group (-COOH) was grafted on the materials surface by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and the RGD serial obtained by liquid phase synthesis was successfully grafted on the disposed materials by chemical reaction. The endothelialization experiment was made also. The grafting results were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and endothelialization was observed using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results indicated that the method improves the effect of materials endothelialization. The experiment has made successful use of UV grafting and chemical coupling methods to graft bioactive RGD onto PET film surface. This is a new method of grafting bioactive peptide.

ObjectiveTo investigate the infection situation of AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis B among pregnant women in Yueyang City, to provide formulated treatment and intervention measures to reduce mother-to-child transmission, and to improve the quality of birth population. MethodsA total of 24 546 pregnant women who agreed to take the tests of AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis B from January 2018 to December 2021 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThe positive rate of human immunodeficiency virus antibody (anti-HIV) was 0.045%; positive rates of syphilis antibody (anti-TP) and HBsAg were 4.64% and 0.64%, respectively. The positive rates of anti-HIV, anti-TP and HBsAg varied from 2018 to 2021, but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The positive rate of HBsAg increased gradually with the increase of maternal age, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). There were 16 mixed infections among 1 309 positive cases, 15 of which were hepatitis B and syphilis mixed infections. ConclusionThe infection of AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis B in pregnant women in Yueyang City is relatively high. The screening of AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis B before pregnancy is helpful to prevent and reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission of infectious diseases in time, which is of great significance to eugenic and eugenic education.
