Objective:To modify the pulsatile bioreactor we constructed previously for simulating the high-flow, high-pressure hemodynamics of heart valve in vivo, and to experimentally cultivate the tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHV) in the modified bioreactor. Methods: T-PLS system (NewheartBio Co., Ltd Korea) was used to generate pulsatile flow in the modified bioreactor and we designed a new air-exchange pathway to avoid contamination. The TEHV were made by seeding human bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on de-cellularized porcine heart valve. After cultured under static condition for 4 d, the TEHVs were moved to the modified bioreactor and exposed to low-flow (0-600 ml/min) or high-flow(0-4 800 ml/min) pulsatile hydrodynamics for 7d, then the cells on TEHVs were evaluated. Results: After modification, the flow range expanded from (0-1 200) ml/min to (0-6 000) ml/min and the pressure range expanded from (0-40) mmHg to (0-180) mmHg. In culture experiments, 26.3% of the seeded cells remained under low-flow environment and cells were completely lost under the high-flow dynamics. Conclusion: The modified bioreactor can basically simulate the dynamics of heart valve in vivo and can be used in TEHV cultivation research. However, the current TEHV can not tolerate the high-flow pulsatile hydrodynamics.

BACKGROUND: It has been found that xenogenic extracellular matrix (ECM) may cause a strong inflammatory response in humans during clinical application of decellularized porcine heart valve (synergraft valves). An early inflammatory reaction severely weakens matrix structure of valve wall, leading to structural rupture and decay of grafts. From Synergraft's event, the decellularized porcine heart valves still had immunogenicity, especially for pediatric patients. The mechanisms by which the ECM triggers this immune process need to be further evaluated. OBJECTIVE: To find the difference of gene sequence between human and porcine ECM and to identify the ECM immunogenicity based on bioinformatics. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A contrast study between human and porcine ECM based on type IV collagen was performed at the Laboratory of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Changhai Hospital, the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from June 2008 to February May.MATERIALS: The fresh porcine heart valves were obtained from Shanghai Wufengshangshi Slaughter House. Decellularized porcine aortic valves, hybridoma cells, and monoclonal antibodies were provided by our laboratory. METHODS: Similar region and conservative site of gene sequence among human, porcine, and rat were compared so as to look for common similar region, site, and sequence difference and investigate the segment which caused common and different gene sequence. Type IV collagen monoclonal antibody was used to evaluate the persistence of ECM of decellularized porcine heart valve following immunohistochemical staining. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Type IV collagen gene sequence; efficacy of self-made antibody using immunohistochemistry; effect of self-made antibody on type IV collage of decellularized porcine heart valve. RESULTS: The differential gene serial in type IV collagen protein was found out by bioinformatics method. Monoclonal antibodies were successfully produced by human-mouse hybridoma technique. Residual porcine ECM was observed on decellularized porcine heart valve. CONCLUSION: Residual porcine ECM was observed on decellularized porcine heart valve and had immunogenicity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of 90Sr- 90Y β-ray low dose applicator, topical timolol maleate, and their combination in the treatment of superficial infantile hemangioma (IH). Methods:From May 14, 2013 to April 11, 2017, 400 children (126 males, 274 females, age 5.3(3.9, 7.1) months) with superficial IH in Department of Nuclear Medicine, the First People′s Hospital of Foshan were prospectively enrolled. All patients were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups according to the proportion of 1∶1∶1∶1 by the method of random number table: topical timolol maleate (group A, control group), 90Sr- 90Y β-ray low dose applicator (group B), single course applicator combined with timolol (group C), and multi-course applicator combined with timolol (group D). Lesions were followed up to the 104 th week (W104). Cure rate of W104 was considered as primary end point. Efficacy and safety of different treatment were compared. Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:Totally, 438 lesions in 400 cases were included in this prospective study. There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics among 4 groups ( χ2 values: 1.709-11.616, H values: 3.681-7.653, all P>0.05). As of W104, 11 lesions (2.51%, 11/438) were lost follow-up, 32 lesions (7.31%, 32/438) were with early withdrawal, 357 lesions (81.51%, 357/438) were cured, 15 lesions (3.42%, 15/438) were with residual, 23 lesions (5.25%, 23/438) were with rebound growth, and no serious adverse events occurred in the 4 groups. Multivariate analysis showed that lesions thickness (<3 mm vs ≥ 3 mm, odd ratio ( OR)=16.689, 95% CI: 7.908-35.223; χ2=54.555, P<0.001) and treatment (considering group A as reference category, OR (95% CI) of group B, C and D were 16.842(6.179-45.901), 4.801(2.167-10.638) and 39.127(10.468-146.243), respectively; χ2=47.663, P<0.001) were independent factors affecting the cure rate of W104. 90Sr- 90Y low-dose fractionation radiotherapy was significantly better than topical timolol maleate ( OR=16.842, 95% CI: 6.179-45.901), and the combination with timolol could significantly reduce the cumulative absorbed dose of radiotherapy (group D vs B: 16(8, 16) vs 16(16, 24) Gy; z=-4.947, P<0.001). Conclusion:90Sr- 90Y low dose applicator therapy is superior to topical timolol maleate for superficial IH, and the combination with timolol could significantly reduce the cumulative absorbed dose of applicator.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different reconstruction algorithms on image quality for Philips GEMINI PET/CT. Methods Jaszczak phantom were scanned on the GEMINI PET/CT system, and the raw data were reconstructed using filtered-back projection with Hanning filter (FBP-Hanning), filtered-back projection with Butterworth filter (FBP-Butterworth), ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM), row-action maximum likelihood algorithm (RAMLA) and three-dimensional row-action maximum likelihood algorithm (3D-RAMLA), respectively. The resolution, uniformity, contrast of images and the time of different reconstruction algorithms were compared. Results The reconstruction time was 180 s, 130 s, 120 s, 85 s and 80 s for 3D-RAMLA, RAMLA, OSEM, FBP-Hanning and FBP-Butterworth respectively in phantom studies. The smallest rods with diameter of 4.8 mm of the phantom could be observed for FBP- Butterworth and 6.4 mm for other algorithms in case of high counts. The image contrast of 3D-RAMLA were better than that other algorithms, and the image uniformity of 3D-RAMLA and RAMLA were better than those of other algorithms. The resolution, uniformity and contrast of images with all algorithms decreasd in case of low counts, and the image quality of FBP-Butterworth was not good enough for clinical studies. Conclusion Image quality is variable with different reconstruction algorithms. For clinical PET imaging, it is necessary to choose proper algorithms.
