BACKGROUND:Biodegradable implants cannot only rebuild bone defect site, moreover, with the gradual degradation of the materials, new bone tissue can completely replace the graft materials to fil bone defects. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress of biodegradable materials combined with osteogenic factor in orthopedics. METHODS: We took the “biodegradable materials, factors, cel active factor, bone tissue engineering” as the search terms in Chinese and English, respectively, to retrieve the related literatures from PubMed, Wanfang and CNKI database during 2000 to 2015 by computer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Biodegradable medical polymer materials can be divided into natural polymer materials and synthetic biodegradable materials. Natural polymeric materials have good biocompatibility, but poor mechanical strength. The mechanical strength of synthetic biodegradable materials is higher than that of natural polymer materials, but the synthetic biodegradable materials are likely to cause local accumulation of acidic substances, produce local inflammation. The biodegradable medical polymer materials combined with osteogenic factor can improve the mechanical strength and osteoinductive ability of materials, but as a bone repair material, it stil has many problems to be solved.

ObjectiveObserve the efficacy, toxicity and the effection of telomerase activity of allicin combined with paclitaxel plus cisplatin and 5-Fu(TFP)chemotherapy for patients with advanced gastric carcinoma.MethodsFifty-four patients with advanced gastric carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups. A group was treated with allicin and TFP, B group was only treated with TFP. The chemotherapy was paclitaxel (135 mg/m2, dl, 8) plus cisplatin (75 mg/m2, d2-4) followed by 5-Fu (500 mg/m2 d1-5). Allicin was used in 60 days(3 times every day,once 20 mg).Telomerase activity was performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ResultsThe total efficiency rate was 40.7 ％ (11/27) in A group and 33.3 ％ (9/27) in B group.There was no statistical difference between the two groups(~ = 0.079,P =0.779).There was significant difference in nausea and vomit (P =0.043), and the incidence of A group was 77.8 ％ (21/27) which was lower than that of B group[92.6 ％(25/27)].There was statistical difference in telomerase activity between the two groups(P =0.000).ConclusionAllicin could reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy and inhibit the telomerase activity in advanced gastric carcinoma.

Objective To explore the similarities and differences in amplitude of low frequency fluctuation ( ALLF) between patients with first-episode drug-naive schizophrenia and offspring of schizophrenia patients.Methods ALFF values were estimated by measuring the Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent ( BOLD) signal using resting state function-al magnetic resonance imaging ( rs-fMRI) .The fMRI date were acquired from 23 patients with first-episode drug-naive schizophrenia (SZ), 25 offsprings of schizophrenia patients (OS) and 29 age -and gender -matched health controls ( HC) .The ALFF value of each subject was calculated by MATLAB-based DPARSF software.Results Compared with HC, the ALFF values of SZ and OS were significantly different in the left posterior part of the inferior temporal gyrus, left parahippocampal gyrus, left hippocampus, right postcentral gyrus and bilateral precuneus.The ALFF values were not signif-icantly different between these two groups in the aforementioned regions.Compared with OS and HC, the ALFF values of SZ were significantly different in the left anterior part of the inferior temporal gyrus, left temporal pole and bilateral calcarine cortex.But there was no significant difference between OS and HC.Conclusions The brain function is abnormal in pa-tients with early schizophrenia and offspring of schizophrenia patients.The significant difference of ALFF in the left posterior part of the inferior temporal gyrus, left parahippocampal gyrus, left hippocampus, right postcentral gyrus and bilateral pre-cuneus may suggest the heredodiathesis-related brain functional alterations.Significant difference of ALFF in the left ante-rior part of the inferior temporal gyrus and the left temporal pole bilateral calcarine cortex may suggest the disease-related brain alterations.

Objective To establish and verify the personalized reference interval of blood cells.Methods The results of blood cells from 2 089 health subjects in 2014,2015 and 2016 were collected.The ratio of the later results to the previous results was defined as the fluctuation (λ).The ratio (λ1) of the results of 2015 to the results of 2014 was calculated and λ1 was analyzed statistically to establish the fluctuation reference interval (CIλ).The ratio (λ2) of the results of 2016 to the results of 2015 was calculated.λ2 was used to verify λ2.The personalized reference interval (CIp) was established by multiplying each result of 2015 and CIλ.CIp was verified by results of 2016.The ratio of the upper and lower limits of CIp was calculated.The ratio of the upper and lower limits of the reference interval (WS/T 405) was calculated.Results The values of CIλ were as follows:WBC (0.66 to 1.53),L(0.67 to 1.51),M (0.50 to 2.00),N(0.56 to 1.78),E(0.4 to 2.51),PLT(0.76 to 1.32),RBC(0.92 to 1.12),Hb(0.92 to 1.11),Hct(0.91 to 1.12),MCV(0.95 to 1.07),MCH(0.95 to 1.05)and MCHC(0.94 to 1.06).The validation tests of CIλ and CIp showed that both CIλ and CIp were suitable for this laboratory.Compared with the reference interval of professional criteria,the ratio of the upper and lower limits of the CIp was smaller than that of traditional criteria.Conclusion CIp for this laboratory was established and verified.Compared with traditional criteria,CIp should be more personalized and highly sensitive.

Objective To determine the relationship of cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acids with impaired endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in the healthy elderly. Methods A case-control study was employed.The study enrolled 60 healthy young adults (group A) and 60 healthy senior citizens (group B) of Han population in Shanghai. Serum contents of 14,15-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (14,15-DHET) (a stable metabolite of 14,15-EET), 6-Kote-PGF1a (a stable metabolite of prostaglandin) and TXB2 (a stable metabolite of thromboxane A2) were measured using ELISA kits. The endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation (EDV) and endothelium-independent vasorelaxation (NEDV) in brachial arteries were determined by color Doppler ultrasound. Results Compared with group A, group B had significant higher levels of hemoglobin A1c, triglyceride and cholesterol levels (P＜0.01), and significant lower levels of 14,15-DHET and 6-Kote-PGF1a (P＜0.001), leading to increased values of TXB2/6-Kote-PGF1a and TXB2/14,15-DHET. There was bigger basal interior diameter of brachial arterials with reduced EDV and NEDV response (P＜0.01 and P＜0.05, vs. group A respectively) in group B. Moreover, the age was negatively correlated with 14,15-DHET and TXB2/14,15-DHET. Conclusions Our results indicate that the impaired EDV and NEDV in aging are associated with reduced production of arachidonic acid metabolites through cytochrome P-450 epoxygenase pathway and cyooxygenase pathway of endothelium in the healthy elderly.
