With the continuous development of bone tissue engineering, a variety of emerging bone graft materials provided various methods for repairing bone defects. Early and rapid accomplishment of revascularization of materials interior after implantation of bone transplantation materials is a difficulty faced to bone tissue engineering. Blood vessels ingrowth provides the requisite netritional support for the regeneration reconstruction of bone tissue, for this reason, vascularization plays a significant role in bone tissue engineering. However,there is not a golden standard strategy of vascularization at present. Scaffold materials, cells and growth factors still are three indispensable elements in tissue engineering, and are cardinal points of the promoting vascularization strategies. Multiple growth factors or multiple cells combined with scaffolds, which are hot spots, have obtained excellent vascularization. This review focused on the comprehensive strategies for promoting the successful vascularization of tissue engineered scaffolds.

BACKGROUND:Fast track surgery, also cal ed enhanced recovery after surgery, is a series of optimal measures adopted during the perioperative period on the basis of evidence-based medicine, to reduce the physical and mental trauma brought to the patient and accelerate their recovery. It has become the research focus of orthopedic clinic as the surgery and anesthesia skil s are improved a lot in recent years, especial y the articular surgery, which has been widely used in clinics. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the clinical study of the application of optimal measures in joint replacement surgery both at home and abroad in recent years. METHODS:The first author searched related articles in PubMed and Chinese Journal Ful-text Database from January 1997 to September 2016. The key words were“joint replacement, enhanced recovery after surgery, multi-mode analgesia, diet management, steroid hormones”. 81 articles were found at last and one monograph was included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) We found that the recovery plan reduced the hospital stays of the patients from 4-12 days to 1-3 days, including pre-operative health education, shortening fasting and water-depriving duration before surgery, super-anesthesia before surgery and do not place catheter;adopting general anesthesia and appropriate adductor canal to relieve the pain, and stopping bleeding using tranexamic acid during operation;multi-mode analgesia, faster function exercise after anesthesia recovery, and drinking water in early phase after surgery during the perioperative period of joint replacement surgery conducted by the cooperation of surgeon, anesthetist, nurse and nutritionist. There were no significant improvements of postoperative complications rate and rehospitalization rate. (2) The research found that, enhanced recovery after surgery is suitable for most of the patients receiving joint replacement surgery, including those in advanced age, combined heart and lung disease before surgery, type 2 diabetes and smoking and drinking before surgery.

OBJECTIVETo study clinical effects of one-hole microplate internal fixation for the treatment of collateral ligament injuries of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb combined with fracture.

METHODSTwenty-two patients (16 males, 6 females) with collateral ligament injuries of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb combined fracture were treated with one-hole microplate internal fixation. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 53 years old with a mean age of 28.5 years old. The duration from injury to surgery ranged from 2 hours to 2 months, and the mean time was 6 days. All the patients had collateral ligament injuries combined with fracture of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb. Thirteen patients had injuries in the right hand and 9 patients had injuries in the left hand. There were 18 cases of closed wound and 4 cases of open wound. Eighteen patients had fresh injuries (< 2 weeks) and 4 had old injuries (> 2 weeks). Sixteen patients had injuries in the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb combined with fracture, 6 patients had radial collateral ligament injuries of the thumb combined with fracture, 4 cases of which were complicated with injuries of abductor pollicis brevis and the end of the flexor pollicis brevis tender. The size of the avulsed fragment was about 3.0 mm x 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm x 7.0 mm.

RESULTSThe incisions of 22 patients healed by first intention. The follow-up periods ranged from 6 months to 5 years old,with an average of 2.5 years old. The thumb function was evaluated by Saetta and other evaluation criteria, and 20 patients got an excellent result and 2 good.

CONCLUSIONThe application of one-hole microplate internal fixation in treating collateral ligament injuries with fracture of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb is an effective method.

Purpose: Despite the high prevalence of postdialysis fatigue (PDF) in maintenance hemodialysis patients, no meta-analysis on the prevalence and risk factors of PDF has yet been published. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of PDF and explore its related factors. Methods: PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and the four Chinese databases (National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI], Chinese Biomedical Literature database [SinoMed], Wanfang Digital Periodicals [WANFANG], and Chinese Science and Technology Periodicals [VIP] database) were searched from inception up to July 2022. This study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. The articles were independently searched by two reviewers, and the relevant data were extracted. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality was used to assess the quality of the included studies. Results: Thirteen articles with 2,118 participants were included. The pooled prevalence was 60.0%. The meta-analysis results revealed that the ultrafiltration volume, mean arterial pressure after dialysis, and good sleep quality were potentially associated with PDF, whereas only good sleep quality (odds ratio 0.24, 95% confidence interval 0.19e0.30) was significantly associated with PDF. Conclusion PDF is common in maintenance hemodialysis patients, which is related to the ultrafiltration volume, sleep quality, and mean arterial pressure after dialysis. However, the mechanism underlying the risk factors and PDF remains unknown. Further research is warranted to investigate the risk factors, intervention, treatment, and mechanism in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

OBJECTIVETo explore the influence factor of stress ulcer bleeding(SUB) in postoperative rectal cancer patients.

METHODSClinical data of rectal cancer patients undergoing operation in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into case group and control group according to the postoperative occurrence of SUB. Univariate analysis combined with multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the influence factors.

RESULTSChronic diseases incidence of case group was higher than that of control group. Except for renal failure, the incidence of postoperative complications of case group was higher than that of control group. Univariate analysis revealed that age, chronic disease, preoperative, and postoperative complications had statistical significant differences(P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified that age(OR=2.893, 95%CI:1.118-5.543), drinking history(OR=3.839, 95%CI:1.012-6.654), preoperative chronic disease(OR=4.646, 95%CI:1.872-8.892), intraoperative bleeding volume(OR=5.129, 95%CI:2.829-9.328), occurrence of severe complications after surgery(OR=6.576, 95%CI:4.539-13.278), postoperative application of glucocorticoid(OR=2.978, 95%CI:1.013-4.512), preoperative application of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(OR=2.126, 95%CI:1.287-7.636) were risk factors for SUB in rectal cancer patients after operation. Postoperative prophylactic use antacids(OR=0.102, 95%CI:0.017-0.196) was protective factor for SUB patients.

CONCLUSIONEffective measures should be taken for high-risk patients, in order to improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective To establish a network laboratory for blood cell analysis and better calibrate haematology analyzers in local lab.Methods According to GB/T 15481《General requirements for the competence testing and calibration laboratories》(idt ISO/IEC 17025),we established a network laboratory providing traceability for blood cell analysis.Complete blood count was traced to Calibration Laboratory in NCCL;The secondary standard haematology analyzer with the same model and calibrator with same lot number were used for verification for a long period.Fresh blood from healthy people was used to calibrate haematology analyzers.Results Gradually we have improved our laboratory quality management system, precision as well as accuracy,which was satisfactory.The unified blood sample was adopted to calibrate different equipments in our hospital and showed consistence when compared with calibration analyzer.The correlation coefficient of all tests is more than 0.99.The relative deviation of WBC,RBC,HCT,HGB and PLT are within?7%,?3.5%,?4%,?3% and?15%,respectively.Conclusions Secondary standard systems provides good comparable results with calibration laboratory.Its tracing mode and quality control scheme could ensure the traceability and accuracy of completed blood count.Furthermore,using elective fresh blood from healthy people,the comparable results from different analyzers were achievable.

AIM:To explore the expression level of tristetraprolin(TTP)in rats after subarachnoid hemor-rhage(SAH)as well as the potential role of TTP in the early brain injury(EBI)after SAH in rats.METHODS:In the first experiment setting,total 56 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into sham group and SAH group.The SAH mod-el was performed by endovascular perforation.The brain tissues were taken out after SAH at 5 different time points(0,12, 24,48,72 h and 1 week).The expression of TTP in the brain tissues was detected by Western blot.In the second experi-ment,a total of 60 SD rats were divided into 4 groups: sham group, SAH group, SAH +vector group and SAH +TPP group.Neurological score,brain water content and blood-brain barrier were evaluated at 48 h after SAH.TUNEL staining was performed to detect cell apoptosis in the rat brain tissue.ELISA method was used for quantitative detection of interleu-kin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α).The protein levels of TTP,Bax,Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 in the rat brain tissue were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:The protein expression of TTP in the brain was downregulated markedly from 12 h after SAH,reached the lowest level at 48 h,and then had an upward trend.After modeling for 48 h, Garcia neurological score was significantly reduced,and brain water content and Evans blue(EB)content of the brain tis-sue of the rats in SAH group were significantly higher than those in sham group(P<0.05).SAH induced significant in-creases in IL-6 and TNF-αlevels in the brain tissue(P<0.05).The number of TUNEL-stained cells was increased in the subcortical brain region after SAH compared with sham group.In addition,a lower level of Bcl-2 and higher levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 in the rat brains were observed at 48 h after SAH.However,the neurological deficit score was signif-icantly increased,and the brain water content and EB content in the rat brains were significantly reduced in SAH +TTP group in comparison with SAH +vector group(P<0.05).Over-expression of TTP dramatically suppressed the levels of IL-6 and TNF-αin the rat brains,and reduced the number of TUNEL positive cells.Furthermore,upregulation of TTP signifi-cantly decreased the levels of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax, and evidently enhanced the expression of Bcl-2(P<0.01). CONCLUSION:The expression of TTP is significantly decreased in early period after SAH, and enhancing the level of TTP effectively inhibits EBI following SAH in rats.
