3. Effectiveness and safety of osteochondral allograft transplantation in the knee joint: A meta-analysis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;24(27):4406-4413
BACKGROUND: Osteochondral allograft transplantation for the treatment of knee articular cartilage defects is one of the longest clinical methods. Although this method is widely used in clinical practice and is trusted by orthopedic surgeons, it still lacks evidence-based medicine support. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of osteochondral allograft transplantation in the knee joint, systematic review and meta-analysis of all available data, and evaluate the efficacy and safety of osteochondral allograft as a transplant substitute in knee joint surgery. METHODS: Literature search was conducted in PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Collaboration Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Database. The application of osteochondral allograft in knee joint transplantation was searched and selected according to the literature inclusion criteria. Articles whose data can be extracted and meta-analyzable were mainly selected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Twenty-five studies met the inclusion criteria and were all case series studies. The patient reported that osteochondral allograft can be used as a graft material to repair knee joint defects. A total of 1 081 patients (1 111 knees) were included in the study. The age of onset was 11-75 years old, with an average age of 34.41 years. The proportion of women was about 40.81%. The follow-up period was 4-384 months, with an average of 76.8 months. (2) In these studies, donors received a minimum age of 10 years and a maximum of 65 years. According to the donor age range and number of studies, donors aged 15-45 were the primary targets. (3) The overall success rate after surgery was 74%, and the overall secondary operation rate was 17%. The success rate of unipolar surgery was 74.44% (501/673); the success rate of bipolar surgery was 50.94% (27/53). The success rate of unipolar surgery was significantly higher than that of bipolar surgery (χ2 =13.679, P < 0.05). (4) Treatment complications occurred in 67 patients (13.14%, 67/510). Common complications were persistent pain at the surgical site (15 cases), graft fracture or fragmentation (12 cases). (5) These results indicate that osteochondral allograft is an effective and safe substitute for knee joint transplantation. The overall success rate is 74% and the secondary operation rate is 17%. It is a treatment with high success rate and low risk of reoperation.

OBJECTIVETo explore whether the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of rats can be induced into hepatocytes and the condition of differentiation in vitro.
METHODSMesenchymal stem cells were collected from the femora of SD rats by density gradient centrifugation and identified by flow cytometric analysis and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) staining. MSCs were divided into 4 groups to induce differentiation with the different concentration of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in culture medium. The concentration of each group was group A 0 ng/ml, group B 10 ng/ml, group C 20 ng/ml and group D 40 ng/ml, respectively. The morphological changes of MSCs were observed by phase-contrast microscope. On day 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28, mRNA of albumin, AFP and CK18 of MSCs of each group were examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the expressions of them were also detected with immunohistochemistry technique.
RESULTSMesenchymal stem cells collected from the femora of SD rats expressed antigens of CD29, CD44 and CD90, but not CD34 and CD45. AKP staining was negative for all of MSCs. On day 7, AFP mRNA of MSCs in group C and D could be detected by RT-PCR, and increased on day 14, and then directed on day 21. Albumin and CK18 mRNA of MSCs in group C and D could also be detected from day 14 to day 28 by RT-PCR. On the contrary, mRNA of AFP, CK18 and albumin was not detected in group A and B of culture. Immunocytochemical analysis for CK18, albumin and AFP showed positive staining reaction for AFP on day 7, for CK18 and albumin on day 14 in group C and D, and negative staining reaction both in group A and B of culture.
CONCLUSIONMSCs of adult rats cultured in high concentration of HGF can differentiate into hepatocytes.

OBJECTIVETo explore whether rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be induced to develop into hepatocytes and the role of the microenvironment of hepatocytes growth in inducing MSCs differentiating into hepatocytes in vitro.
METHODSMesenchymal stem cells were collected from the aspirates from femurs of SD rats by density gradient centrifugation and identified by flow cytometric analysis and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining. Rat hepatocytes were isolated by the modified two-step method described by Seglen. Two 6-well culture plates were piled up after the chambers' bottoms of the upper plate was removed. Then the upper and lower chambers were separated by a semi-permeable membrane. MSCs and hepatocytes of rats were plated separately in the upper and lower chambers of the two 6-well culture plates for co-culturing. MSCs cultured alone without co-culturing with hepatocytes served as controls. On days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28, mRNA of cytokeratin 18 (CK-18), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and immunocytochemistry staining of CK-18 AFP and albumin were also examined.
RESULTSThe shapes of MSCs co-cultured with hepatocytes changed and their sizes and numbers increased in the course of the culturing. When MSCs were co-cultured with hepatocytes for 2 weeks, colonies composed of polygonal cells resembling mature hepatocytes were found. In the controls, shapes of cells also changed and their sizes and numbers increased, but colonies composed of polygonal cells resembling mature hepatocytes were not found. Of the MSCs co-cultured with hepatocytes, on day 7, the mRNA of AFP was detected by RT-PCR, and it increased on day 14, and then decreased on day 21. mRNA of albumin and CK-18 were detected by RT-PCR from day 14 to day 28 in the co-cultured cells, but mRNA of AFP and CK-18 and albumin were not detected in the controls in the course of the culturing. Immunocytochemical analysis for CK-18, albumin, and AFP, showed positive staining reaction for AFP on day 7, for CK-18 and AFP on day 14 in the co-cultured cells but not in the controls.
CONCLUSIONSRat MSCs co-cultured with hepatocytes can differentiate into hepatocytes.

In the process of acid hydrolysis of medical absorbent cotton, we have discovered that some of the domestic manufactured medical absorbent cotton is mixed with wasted non-cotton chemical fiber. If the cotton is used in medical treatments, the chemical fiber will cause irritation, allergy and inflammation, so it's very harmful. But the non-cotton fiber content is not stipulated in the standard of YY0330-2002, and no testing method for it is available. In this paper we discuss the existent quality problems, the control and the test method for non-cotton chemical fiber in medical absorbent cotton.
