BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels play an osteogenic role under the assistance of scaffold materials. The scaffold cannot only deliver the cels to the bone defect area, but also act as a new bone growth framework. Colagen-chitosan composite is one of ideal scaffold materials in bone tissue engineering, which has osteoinductive ability and better osteogenic ability than conventional scaffolds. Bone transport technology has been widely used in the clinical repair of long bone defects, but it has some deficiencies, such as slow osteogenesis, long time for external fixation and nonunion. How to further accelerate bone formation and reduce complications has become the current problem to be solved. Here, it is hypothesized that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/ colagen/chitosan composite scaffold can increase the therapeutic effect of bone transport in the repair of tibial bone defects.
METHODS/DESIGN:This study is a randomized controled animal experiment, includingin vitro andin vivo tests.In vitro test: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels are isolated from the bone marrow of New Zealand rabbits aged 1-2 months, and passaged to the third generation. Then, cel suspension is added onto the colagen-chitosan scaffold to construct the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/colagen/chitosan composite scaffold.In vivo test: Twenty-four New Zealand rabbits at 3-4 months are selected and randomly assigned to receive bone transport, scaffold implantation, bone transport+scaffold implantation, respectively. The primary outcome measures are the growth of implant materials and bone defect interface, X-ray detection of bone defect repair, hematoxylin-eosin staining and scanning electron microscope observation of bone formation in the bone defect region, immunohistochemical detection of type I colage expression in the osteogenic region, scanning electron microscope observation of interface bonding between implant materials and host bone, ultrastructure and bone formation.
DISCUSSION:The results from this animal experiment wil help to determine the feasibility of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/colagen/chitosan composite scaffold to accelerate bone repair during bone defect repair using bone transport technology.

Objective To investigate the correlation of uric acid(UA) level and the circadian rhythm of blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Methods Among the individuals who presented to the cardiology clinic, 70 patients who had hypertension and were diagnozed with non- dipper hypertension (non-dipper hypertension group) by 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), 70 patients with dipper hypertension patients (dipper hypertension group), and 52 normotensive individuals (control group) were enrolled in this study. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from all the patients in order to evaluate the hematological and biochemical parameters. All the assessed parameters were compared among three groups. Results The level of UA in non-dipper hypertension group was the highest, in dipper hypertension group was higher and in contrl group was the lowerst:(393.57 ± 53.52), (280.57 ± 41.64), (267.66 ± 59.38) μmol/L, and there were significant differences (P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the level of UA was an independent risk factor for non-dipper circadian rhythm of blood pressure (P = 0.003, OR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.34- 3.89). Conclusions The higher level of UA may be a risk factor for non-dipper circadian rhythm of blood pressure in hypertension patients.

AIM To study the effects of No.1 Weiyan Decoction (Codonopsis Radix,Paeoniae Radix alba,Taraxaci Herba,etc.) on hypoxia and hypoxic tolerance in gastric mucosal epithelial cells in rats with precancerous lesion of gastric cancer (PLGC).METHODS Forty rats were randomly divided into normal,model,Vitacoenzyme Tablets and No.1 Weiyan Decoction groups.Except for the normal group,the rats in the other groups were given with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and Little Chengqi Decoction to establish a PLGC rat model.Ten weeks after the administration,the gastric mucosal epithelial microvascular ultrastructure was observed,the expressions of Hif1a mRNA,HIF-1 α protein and VEGF protein in gastric mucosal epithelium were detected.RESULTS Compared with the normal group,the number of microvasculatures in gastric mucosal epithelium was decreased;lumen was severely stenosed or expansive;inner wall was not smooth and had adhesion;vascular endothelial cells were swollen;the expression of Hif1α mRNA showed an increasing trend;the expressions of HIF-1α protein and VEGF protein were anomalous in the model group.Compared with the model group,the gastric mucosal vascular lesion of PLGC rats was improved,and the expressions of Hif1a mRNA,HIF-1α protein and VEGF protein were significantly decreased in the No.1 Weiyan Decoction group.CONCLUSION No.1 Weiyan Decoction can improve hypoxia and hypoxia tolerance,and induce angiogenesis in gastric mucosal epithelium in PLGC rats.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in treatment of elderly incompleted inner wall type intertrochanteric fracture. Methods:The medical records of 33 patients with incompleted inner wall type intertrochanteric fractures were analyzed retrospectively. The incision length,blood loss,operative time,volume of drainage,start standing time,fracture healing time,abnormal rate of femur and complications were summarized,and the clinical effects were also evaluated according to Harris standard. Results:A total of 31 patients achieved complete follow-up data. The fracture healing time and clinical excellent rates were (12.5 ± 3.5) weeks and 90.3%. The abnormal rate of femur operative time, incision length, blood loss, operative time, volume of drainage, and start standing time were 12.9%,(4.3 ± 2.7) cm,(50.2 ± 35.0) ml,(40.3 ± 12.7) min,(30.5 ± 9.6) ml and (10.3 ± 5.7) d. Conclusion:PFNA fixation is an ideal method for treatment of elderly incompleted inner wall type intertrochanteric fractures, with small incision, shorter operative time, shorter fracture healing time, shorter bed rest time and less complications.

Objective:To analyze the value of renal color Doppler ultrasound examination and clinical indicators in evaluating the severity and prognosis of acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP) complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI) .Methods:In November 2019, 86 AOPP patients complicated by AKI who were admitted from May 2018 to May 2019 were selected as the observation group, and they were divided into AKI stage 1 group ( n=37) , AKI stage 2 group ( n=32) and AKI stage 3 group ( n=17) . 40 healthy people were selected as the control group. The differences in power Doppler ultrasound (PDU) score, renal interlobular artery resistance index (RI) value and related clinical indicators of each group were measured and analyzed, and the correlations between the indicators were analyzed. At the same time, binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of death in AOPP patients complicated by AKI. Results:There were statistically significant differences in Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱscore, mean arterial pressure (MAP) , serum creatinine (SCr) and the length of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) between different groups ( P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the APACHE Ⅱscores and SCr of patients in the AKI stage 2 and resistance index AKI stage 3 groups increased, while the MAP decreased ( P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, AKI stage 1 group and AKI stage 2 group, the PDU score of patients in the AKI stage 3 group was significantly decreased, and the renal interlobular artery RI value was significantly increased ( P<0.05) . SCr was positively correlated with the RI value of renal interlobular arteries and CRRT days ( r=0.435, 0.713, P<0.05) , and was negatively correlated with renal PDU score ( r=-0.643, P<0.05) . The renal PDU score was negatively correlated with the RI value of renal interlobular arteries and CRRT days ( r=-0.350, -0.556, P<0.01) . Binary logistic regression analysis showed that SCr ( OR=1.017, 95% CI: 1.004-1.041) and APACHE Ⅱ score ( OR=1.289, 95% CI: 1.019-1.827) were risk factors for death in patients with AOPP complicated by AKI ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Both PDU score and the RI value of renal interlobular artery can reflect the severity and stage of patients with AOPP complicated by AKI to a certain extent, but neither of them is a key factor affecting the death of patients.
