Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2010;14(3):545-548
OBJECTIVE: To introduce the basic functions, working conditions and requirements of bioreactot, additional, to discuss the research process of bioreactor.METHODS: PubMed database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.) and CNKI database (www.cnki.nat/index.htm) were retrieved by the first author with search terms of "bioartificial liver, bioreactor, membrane material" both in English and Chinese. The time was limited between January 1994 and August 2009. Inclusion criteria: ①literatures closely linked to the article; ②papers published in more authoritative journals in recent years. ③the contents of old or duplicate documents were excluded.RESULTS: Totally 150 documents were seized by primary screen, 88 irrelative papers and 32 duplicate documents were excluded, finally, 30 literature entered further analysis. Bioartificial liver system has become an effective in vitro supportive treatment for hepatic failure patients. Bioreactor is an important ingredient of bioartificial liver, which provided a platform for the hepatocytes growth metabolism, substances exchange and immune isolation. The main cellulose semipermeable bioreactor comprises fiat membrane bioreactor and hollow fiber bioreactor, and the main types of semipermeable membranes contain mixed cellulose ester membrane, cellulose acetate membrane, cuprophan membrane, PVDF membrane, as well as poly(ethylene terephthalate) membrane.CONCLUSION: As a dynamic system, the optimal of control system in bioreactor is conductive to regulating mass transfer and establishing bionic physical or chemical gradients, which can implement the construction of hepatocyte with smallest unit. The selection of membrane is the key link in bioreactor construction of bioartificial liver system

Objective To study the feasibility of using chitosan membrane to carry and transport melanocytes, in order to refine the technique for melanocyte transplantation with chitosan membrane. Methods Melanocytes were inoculated onto chitosan membrane and cultured for a period of time, then, electron microscopy,MTT assay and NaOH assay were carried out to estimate the adherence, growth and melanogenesis of the melanocytes. Skin wound surface was prepared in 12 nude mice, which were equally divided into 3 groups, test group inoculated with melanocytes on chitosan membrane, negative control group I treated with chitosan membrane without melanocytes, and negative control group II directly dressed immediately after the preparation of wound surface. On day 10 and 20 after the transplantation, confocal laser microscopy and immunohistochemistry were performed to observe the migration of melanocytes into the skin wound surface. Results Scanning electron microscopy and inverted microscopy showed that melanocytes were evenly distributed on and adhered well to the underlying chitosan membrane. As the growth curve of melanocytes demonstrated, chitosan membrane could support the normal growth of melanocytes, and no significant difference was observed in the synthesized melanin content between melanocytes cultured on the chitosan membrane and those in culture disks (0.087 ± 0.027 vs. 0.101 ± 0.036, t = 0.79, P > 0.05). Melanocytes were seen at the transplantation sites by confocal laser microscopy, and biopsy specimens from the transplantation sites stained positive for antimelan-A monoclonal antibody. Conclusions Melanocytes can adhere to and grow on the chitosan membrane,which can facilitate the migration of melanocytes to the transplantation sites in animals with the maintenance of biological activity of melanocytes.

Objective Cardiac muscle cells play a critical role in maintaining normal function of the heart.Cardiotrophin-1(CT-1),a potent cardiac survival factor,is capable of inhibiting apoptosis or promoting survival in cardiomyocytes.To elucidate the mechanism of CT-1 promoting cardiac myocyte survival in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.To explore the potential signaling pathway that might be responsible for this effect.Methods We examined the cardiac myocyte survival effect of CT-1 in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.The cardiomyocytes were stained [3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiaziazol-2-yl)-2-5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide,MTT] and the counted.Results The survival rate of cardiac myocytes was increased by CT-1 in a dose-dependent manner(10-10~10-7 mol/L) and in a time-dependent manner(1~4 d,10-8 mol/L) in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.Pretreatment of PD098059(5?10-5mol/L),a MAPK blocker,decreased significantly survival rate of cardiac myocytes by promoted CT-1.The phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA)(10-5mol/L),a PKC activator,increased significantly this effect of CT-1,but inhibited significantly by MAPK blocker PD098059.Conclusion CT-1 is a potent factor of promoting cardiac myocyte survival,and increase significantly survival rate of cardiac myocytes in a dose-dependentand a time-dependent manner in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.The MAPK signaling pathway mediates CT-1 induced cardiac myocyte survival.PKC signaling molecule may be a upstream signaling transduction pathway which cascades of MAPK in CT-1 induced cardiac myocyte survival.

A new fluorescent method was developed based on the ulifloxacin-europium (Ⅲ)-sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate system for the determination of ulifloxacin,the active metabolite of prulifloxacin.Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate formed a ternary complex with ulifloxacin-europium (Ⅲ) and significantly enhanced the characteristic fluorescence of europium (Ⅲ).The enhanced fluorescence intensity showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of ulifloxacin in the range of 5.0× 10 8 -2.0× 10-6M with a detection limit of 2.0× 10-10 M (3σ).This method is rapid and sensitive,and has been successfully applied to the determination of ulifloxacin in human urine and serum samples.

Background Proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) is a tissue repair prevention and treatment of PVR in clinic.Natural delayed release microballoons are therefore becoming a hot spot for its easy manipulation,large lading dose and long acting duration.Objective This study was to evaluate the effect of 5-fluorouracil natural delayed release microballoons on the prevention of PVR.Methods The lymphocytes were collected from clean pigment rabbit to prepare the 8×107/ml cell suspension with complete culture fluid.PVR models were established in 45 healthy pigment rabbits by intravitreal injection of lymphocyte suspension.The animals were randomly divided into 3 groups and 15 rabbits for each.0.1ml normal saline,10g/L or 20g/L 5-fluorouracil natural delayed release microballoons were injected into vitreous cavity respectively.PVR was graded on Fastenberg's method under the slit lamp in 1,2,4,8 weeks.The animals were sacrificed and retinas were obtained for the histopathological and ultrastructural examination in the eighth week after administration of drug.Results The numbers of eyes with different grades of PVR were significantly different among 3 groups in 1 week,2,4,8 weeks(P<0.05).The eye numbers with PVR was significant less in 20g/L Fu group than those of 10g/L Fu group and normal saline group(P<0.05).There was statistical difference in PVR ranking among these 3 groups in 8 weeks after injection of drug(H=46.795,P<0.05).The morphology and ultrastructure of retinas under the light microscope and transmission electron microscope were near normal in all of the three groups.Conclusion Implantation of 5-fluorouracil natural delayed release microballoons into vitreous cavity is effective and safe in preventing PVR in experimental model,and the therapeutic effect of microballoons with 20g/L 5-Fu is better.
