Response surface analysis (uniform precision of central composite design, SAS 9.1.3 software) was applied to optimize the four major factors (ratio of soybean meal to water, enzyme quantity, fermentation time and inoculation quantity) for soybean meal solid fermentation. According to the change of the hydrolyzation degree of soybean protein, the equation of polynomial regression was established between those factors and the response. The result showed that the optimum condition included as follows: ratio of soybean meal to water 1∶1.00,enzyme quantity 2.55%, fermentation time 65h and inoculation quantity 1.00%. Under the optimum level, the degree of hydrolyzation reached 13.3%, which increased 56% over pre-optimization.

ObjectiveTo assess the values of 320-detector row dynamic volume CT angiography (CTA) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in follow up of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) caused by Kawasaki disease (KD).Methods320-de-tector row CTA and TTE were applied in long-term follow-up of 8 patients with CAA caused by KD.ResultsIn 8 patients, the mean age at onset was 41.63±22.70 months and the mean follow up time was 43.50±10.99 months. In acute phase, 3 cases of giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAA) and 5 cases of mid-small CAA were diagnosed by TTE. A total of 16/32 arteries (50%) were involved. At the end of follow-up, 3 cases of GCAA and 2 cases of mid-small CAA were still diagnosed by TTE, and small CAAs were regressed in another 3 cases. A total of 6/32 arteries (18.75%) were involved. Simultaneously at the end of follow-up, a total of 7/32 arteries (21.9%) were involved by 320-detector row CTA. The distribution was consistent with that of TTE. Mean-while, there were one case of left circumlfex artery, one case of GCAA at distal of the right coronary artery, 2 cases of thrombus, 1 case of coronary stenosis and 2 cases of calciifcation.ConclusionsCAA caused by KD may be persistent for a long time. The thrombus, stenosis, and calciifcation of coronary can occurr at late phase in GCAA. TTE is sensitive and reliable to detect proxi-mal and middle segment of coronary lesions, but has limitations in detection of distal segment of coronary arteries. 320-detector row CTA has more comprehensively view of each coronary artery lesions and is especially sensitive and reliable to detect coro-nary thrombosis, calciifcation and narrowing in proximal and distal coronary arteries after acute phase.

Objective To construct a novel tissue?engineered bone matrix gelatin (BMG)/poly[butylene succinate?co?tere?phthalate] (PBST) biphasic scaffold for annulus fibrosus. Methods The PBST spinning fibers were prepared by electrospinning and the porosity and water absorption rate were tested. Rabbit annulus fibrosus cells were isolated, cultured and identified through SafraninOstaining, and collagenⅡimmunohistochemical staining in vitro. And then annulus fibrosus cells were implanted on the PBST fiber, whose growth situation was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Then the BMG/PBST biphasic scaf?fold was constructed by BMG as the outer annular fibrosus and PBST fiber as the inner annular fibrosus. The annulus fibrosus cells were implanted on the biphasic scafflod and cultured for 3, 7 and 21 days in vitro. The biomechanical and biological property was observed at the predetermined time point. Results The porosity of the fiber was 61.83%±7.33%and its water absorption rate was 297.34%± 57.13%. The identified result of annulus fibrosus cells were positive, suggesting that the cells have still kept their annulus fibrosus cells characteristics. The cells growth could be observed through SEM at 3rd and 7th day after implanted on the fi?bers. After cultured on the BMG/PBST scaffold, HE staining proved that the cells could ingress into the inner of fiber with time. SafraninOstaining and collagenⅡimmunohistochemical staining proved that the cells can secreted abundant proteoglycan and collagenⅡ, the special annulus fibrosus cell extracellular matrix. Compared with the BMG/PBST scaffold without cells, the elastic modulus of biphasic scaffold was increased from 14.83±1.02 MPa to 17.56±1.47 MPa after cultured with cells for 21 days in vitro. Conclusion The novel tissue?engineered biphasic scaffold for annulus fibrosus constructed with BMG and PBST fiber spinning has good cytocompatibility and biomechanical characteristics, which provide a basis for the complete tissue engineered interverte?bral disc.
