ObjectiveTo investigate the detection results of WBC,CRP,ESR and GR% in patients with knee infection after operation. Methods The study was conducted from March 2012 to January 2015. Twenty patients were collected in the study. The values of WBC,CRP,ESR and GR% were compared and analyzed between pre-operation and post-operation of 1,3 and 7 days. Results The values of WBC,CRP,ESR and GR% in the post-operation of 1 day were higher than those in the pre-operation,and there were statistically significances (P < 0.05). The values of ESR in the post-operation of 3 and 7 days were higher than that in the pre-operation, with statistically significances(P < 0.05). However,the values of WBC,CRP and GR% in the post-operation of 3 and 7 days were no statistically significances compared with those in the pre-operation(P > 0.05). Conclusion WBC,CRP,ESR and GR% have good reference value for early diagnosis and treatment,which can be used as screen testing indexes in the early knee infection.

BACKGROUND: Nerve growth factor is secreted and synthetized by a variety of cells, such as inflammatory calls and repairing calls, its biological effects are diverse and closely related to the process of wound repair, but its mechanism is not yet clear.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of nerve growth factor on the biological characteristics of scar fibroblasts.METHODS: Eight clinical surgical resection specimens, including 5 face and neck hyperplastic scar or keloid specimens, did not receive any treatment; three were prepuce specimens following circumcision (normal tissue). By use of tissue block method, the scar and normal skin fibroblasts were cultured, followed by digestion passage. The scar tissue and normal tissue flbroblasts at 3-6passages in the logarithmic phase were seeded in 96-well plate and divided into the experimental group (scar flbroblest group) and the control group (normal skin fibroblasts group), with two parallel holes in each group were added with 3,33, 0.33 mg/L nerve growth factor, 50 μL. Inverted microscope was used to observe fibroblast morphology. At 24, 48, 72 hours after culture, the absorbanca value was measured using MTT. Fibroblast DNA content and cell apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The fibroblasts were adherent cells, the scar and normal skin tissues were shown to cell free out of tissue block and gradual expansion at 4-6 days after incubation. Compared with normal skin fibroblasts, the pathological scar fibroblasts became larger, irregular shape and arrangement. MTT results showed that nerve growth factor could promote the normal and hypertrophic scar fibroblasts growth, which becomes more apparent. Flow cytometry results showed that by adding nerve growth factor, the percentage of scar fibroblasts at proliferating S-G_2-M phase was higher than that in the control;group; with a Iower level of apoptosis. It is indicated that nerve growth factor plays an obviously promoting role on normal and scar skin fibroblasts growth and proliferation, especially on the scar skin.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the effects and mechanisms of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) anti-differentiation non-coding RNA (ANCR) on the osteogenesis of osteoblast cells in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mice models of PMOP were established. ANCR expression and intracellular calcium ions were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and laser confocal microscopy, respectively. ANCR was silenced in osteoblast cells from PMOP mice by the transfection of siRNA-ANCR (si-ANCR). The proliferation and apoptosis of osteoblast cells was analyzed by MTT and flow cytometry, respectively. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium nodules were examined by ALP and alizarin red staining assay, respectively. The expression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), runt related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), and OSTERIX was detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Furthermore, an osteogenesis model was constructed in mice, and osteoid formation was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The interaction between lncRNA-ANCR and EZH2 was further identified by RNA pull-down assay. RESULTS: ANCR expression and intracellular calcium ions were increased in PMOP mice. Si-ANCR significantly increased the proliferation, ALP activity, calcium deposition of osteoblast cells and decreased apoptosis. ANCR and EZH2 were down-regulated by si-ANCR, while RUNX2 and OSTERIX were upregulated. Si-ANCR also promoted osteoid formation in mice treated with hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate. In addition, ANCR specifically bound to EZH2. CONCLUSION: Silencing ANCR promotes the osteogenesis of PMOP osteoblast cells. The specific binding of ANCR with EZH2 suppressed RUNX2, thereby inhibiting osteogenesis.

Objective: To investigate the heterotopic osteogenesis of tissue engineered bone using the co-culture system of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) as seed cells. Methods: The partially deproteinized biological bone (PDPBB) was prepared by fibronectin combined with partially deproteinized bone (PDPB). The ADSCs of 18-week-old Sprague Dawley (SD) rats and VECs of cord blood of full-term pregnant SD rats were isolated and cultured. Three kinds of tissue engineered bone were constructed in vitro: PDPBB+VECs (group A), PDPBB+ADSCs (group B), PDPBB+co-cultured cells (VECs∶ADSCs was 1∶1, group C), and PDPBB was used as control group (group D). Scanning electron microscopy was performed at 10 days after cell transplantation to observe cell adhesion on scaffolds. Forty-eight 18-week-old SD rats were randomly divided into groups A, B, C, and D, with 12 rats in each group. Four kinds of scaffolds, A, B, C, and D, were implanted into the femoral muscle bags of rats in corresponding groups. The animals were killed at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after operation for gross observation, HE staining and Masson staining histological observation, and the amount of bone collagen was measured quantitatively by Masson staining section. Results: Scanning electron microscopy showed that the pores were interconnected in PDPB materials, and a large number of lamellar protein crystals on the surface of PDPBB modified by fibronection were loosely attached to the surface of the scaffold. After 10 days of co-culture PDPBB and cells, a large number of cells attached to PDPBB and piled up with each other to form cell clusters in group C. Polygonal cells and spindle cells were mixed and distributed, and some cells grew along bone trabeculae to form cell layers. Gross observation showed that the granulation tissue began to grow into the material pore at 2 weeks after operation. In group C, a large number of white cartilage-like substances were gradually produced on the surface of the material after 4 weeks, and the surface of the material was uneven. At 12 weeks, the amount of blood vessels on the surface of group A increased, and the material showed consolidation; there was a little white cartilage-like material on the surface of group B, but the pore size of the material did not decrease significantly; in group D, the pore size of the material did not decrease significantly. Histological observation showed that there was no significant difference in the amount of bone collagen between groups at 2 weeks after operation ( F=2.551, P=0.088); at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after operation, the amount of bone collagen in group C was significantly higher than that in other 3 groups, and that in group B was higher than that in group D ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference between group A and groups B, D ( P>0.05). Conclusion: The ability of heterotopic osteogenesis of tissue engineered bone constructed by co-culture VECs and ADSCs was the strongest.

We used ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS) for analyzing and identifying the active components of newborn calf serum (NCS) and fetal bovine serum (FBS). The results demonstrated significant differences in the components between NCS and FBS. FBS appeared to have more complex components than NCS, with mass to ratios (m/z) of the substances of 498, 273 and 448. These substances in FBS may be the main active components to support the proliferation and differentiation of cells.

Chronic obstructive pneumonia cancer transformation refers to the malignant transformation of long-term repeated chronic inflammation of the lung. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pneumonia cancer transformation always belong to the deficiency of origin and excess of signs. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease causes damage to the qi of the lung, spleen and kidney. Qi is yang, and qi deficiency leads to yang deficiency. Yang deficiency and abnormal warm would result in qi stagnation, phlegm coagulation and blood stasis. It is the key to the transformation of chronic obstructive pneumonia cancer. Kidney yang is the root of yang qi. Deficiency of kidney yang is the initiating factor for the transformation of chronic obstructive pneumonia cancer. Deficiency of lung yang is the fundamental factor for the transformation of chronic obstructive pneumonia cancer. Deficiency of kidney yang and deficiency of spleen yang are the driving factors for the transformation of chronic obstructive pneumonia cancer. Therefore, this article discussed the role of kidney yang in the transformation of chronic obstructive pneumonia cancer from the theory of "Qi Zhu Xu Zhi", in order to broaden the thinking of clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
