BACKGROUND:Articular cartilage has limited ability to repair itself, and the traditional means are difficult to repair articular cartilage defects, but articular cartilage tissue engineering provides new methods and approaches for large-area articular cartilage defects. OBJECTIVE:To review the current status, problems and prospects of tissue engineering technology in articular cartilage repair. METHODS:The retrieval of PubMed database was performed for articles published from 1982 to 2015, with the keywords of “articular cartilage, repair, tissue engineering” in English. Literatures related to tissue engineering repair of articular cartilage were included, but repetitive studies were excluded. Finaly 39 articles were reserved in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Excelent seed cels have chondrogenic differentiation potential, and currently, the main seed cels for articular cartilage repair include mesenchymal stem cels, embryonic stem cels, adipose-derived stem cels and precartilaginous stem cels. Different growth factors, which can induce the in vivo growth of host parenchymal cels, improve seeded cel stability, and accelerate tissue regeneration, tend to be combined in clinical application. Composite scaffolds are also one of hot researches that can promote cell inoculation and spatial distribution as well as accelerate cell proliferation. To obtain the best effectiveness of articular cartilage repair, how to optimize seed cells, select and match scaffold materials to construct new types of composite patterns is an important direction in the future.

Objective The various influencing factors in the process of nano-silver preparation were studied in order to prepare nano-silver that has uniformity particle size distribution and good crystallinity. Methods Through the method of liquid reduction at room temperature,the nano-silver powders were prepared directly using silver nitrate as raw material,water as the reactive medium,polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) as protecting agent and ammonium formate as reducing agent. By means of EDS and TEM(transmission electron microscopy),the prepared silver particles were characterized. The various influencing factors in the process of preparation were also discussed. Results With the increasing concentration of AgNO3,the particle diameter of nano-silver changed obviously. When the concentration of silver nitrate was 0.25-0.30 mol/L,the size of product is the smallest. With the increasing concentration of reductant,the diameter of nano-silver decreased gradually. While at the concentration of 0.70 mol/L HCOOH,the average diameter of nano-silver is not more than 10 nm. Smaller and more well-distributed silver powder could be prepared at ratio of concentration of PVP to AgNO3 with the value of 1.5-1.0,at which PVP presented effective protection. Conclusions This method can prepare particle of nano-silver which revealed well dispersed and uniform size. The process is stable and reliable,easy to operate,high yields and suitable for industrial production.

Objective To observe the effect of octreotide acetate on plasma ETX and serum inflammatory cytokine of the rabbit with hepatic ischcmia reperfusion injury. Methods Pringle's maneuver rabbit hepatic ischemia-repeffusion models were established. 24 adult New Zealand rabbits were random divided into equal 3 groups: sham operative group(group A), iacbemia reperfusion group(group B)and octreotide acetate preconditioning group(group C). Endotoxin (ETX) in the plasma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and intcdeukin-1beta (IL-1β) were detected in every rabbit at the time before iachemia (T1), 30min after ischemia (T2), 30min (T3) and 120min (T4) after reperfusion. Results From T2 to T4, the ETX in group B and C were higher than that in group A (P < 0.05), the ETX of group C were lower than that in group B (P<0.05). From T2 to T4, the TNF-α of group B and C were higher than that of group A(P<0.05). From T3 to T4 the TNF-α of group C were higher than that of group A(P<0.05). From T2 to T4,the IL-1β of group B and group C were higher than that of group A(P<0.05), and the IL-1β of group C were lower than that of group B (P<0.05). Conclusion Octreotide acetate can decrease plasma ETX and down-regulate inflammation factors, such as TNFαand IL-1β, in serum of the rabbit with hepatic iacbe-mia-reperfusion injury, which may be the protective mechanism of oetreotide acetate on rabbit hepatic isehemia-reperfusiun injury.
