Objective To investigate the biocompatilility of human acellular amniotic membrane(HAM) with vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) and to explore the possibility to construct tissue engineering bladder with HAM as the scaffold and VSMCs as the seed cells. Methods After physical and 1% trypsogen preparation,the HAM was mixed with VSMCs taken from rats for culture in vitro.Histological obserbation was done under inverted microscope and scanning electron microscope respectively.20 rats were divided into two groups.Hemicystectomies were performed in 20 rats,and 10 of them were repaired with HAM grafts with VSMCs on the half bladder,the other 10 were repaired with HAM grafts without VSMCs as the control group.The rats underwent postoperative assessment of bladder volume at the 2nd,4th and 8th weeks,and the grafts were observed by light microscope at the 2nd,4th and 8th weeks after surgery. Results The physical and 1% trypsogen treated HAM was pure with hollows and undamaged collagen fibers.The VSMCs could grow,adhere to and differentiate on the surface of HAM and into the hollows.At the 2nd,4th and 8th weeks after surgery, the bladder volumes of the experimental group were not different significantly compared with those of the control group.Epithelialization and smooth muscle cells regeneration occurred with the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the 2nd week after grafting,and the HAM were absorbed.In the 4th and 8th weeks,it was difficult to delineate the junction between the host bladder and grafts by histology.Conclusion HAM can be used as the scaffold to construct tissue engineering bladder as it has good biocompatibility with VSMCs without disturbing the cell form and the graft can be absorbed quickly.

To investigate the effect of Cornu Cervi Oral Liquid (mainly composed of Cornu Cervi, Fructus Psoraleae, Herba Epimedii, Fructus Corni, Fructus Ligustri Lucidi and Lignum Aquilariae Resinatum) in reversing myocardial fibrosis in rats with congestive heart failure caused by pressure overload and to explore its mechanism. Thirty six male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to mimic operation group (Group A), model group (Group B) and Cornu Cervi Oral Liquid group (Group C). Rat models of congestive heart failure were induced by constriction of abdominal aorta. Left ventricular mass index(LVMI) was observed; contents of collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ in left ventricular cardiac muscle were detected by immunohistochemical method and their mRNA expression by RT PCR; and plasma levels of angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ), atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and serum aldosterone (ALD) level were measured by radioimmunoassay method. LVMI, contents of collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ and their mRNA expression, levels of plasma and myocardial AngⅡ, plasma ANF and serum ALD were higher in Group B than those in Group A (P0 05).[Conclusion]Cornu Cervi Oral Liquid is effective in reversing myocardial fibrosis in rats with congestive heart failure caused by pressure overload and its mechanism may be related to the decrease of contents of collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ and their mRNA expression, levels of plasma and myocardial AngⅡ, plasma ANF and serum ALD.
